Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
On September 7, 2011, Cash America International, Inc. (“Cash America,” now known as FirstCash, Inc. due to its merger with First Cash Financial Services, Inc. on September 1, 2016), formed a new company, Enova International, Inc. (the “Company”). On September 13, 2011, Cash America contributed to the Company all of the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Enova Online Services, Inc., in exchange for 33 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company became an independent, publicly traded company on November 13, 2014 when Cash America completed the tax-free spin-off of approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of the Company to holders of Cash America’s common stock (the “Spin-off”). Cash America (and then First Cash) retained approximately 20% of the Company’s stock but completed the sale of its entire holding in the Company as of December 6, 2016. The consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the historical results of operations and cash flows of the Company during each respective period. The financial statements include goodwill and intangible assets arising from businesses previously acquired.
The Company operates an internet-based lending platform to serve customers in need of cash to fulfill their financial responsibilities. Through a network of direct and indirect marketing channels, the Company offers funds to its customers through a variety of unsecured loan and finance receivable products. The business is operated primarily through the internet to provide convenient, fully-automated financial solutions to its customers. The Company originates, arranges, guarantees or purchases consumer loans and provides financing to small businesses through a line of credit account, installment loan or receivables purchase agreement product (“RPAs”). Consumer loans include short-term loans, line of credit accounts and installment loans. RPAs represent a right to receive future receivables from a small business. “Loans and finance receivables” include consumer loans, small business lines of credit, small business installment loans and RPAs.
The Company consolidates any variable interest entity (“VIE”) where it has been determined it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity which has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The financial statements presented as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited but, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such interim periods. Operating results for three and six-month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.
These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and related notes, which are included on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2017.
Restricted Cash
The Company includes funds to be used for future debt payments relating to its securitization transactions and escrow deposits in restricted cash and cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue based on the financing products and services it offers and on loans it acquires. “Revenue” in the consolidated statements of income includes: interest income, finance charges, fees for services provided through the Company’s credit services organization and credit access business programs (“CSO programs”) (“CSO fees”), revenue on RPAs, service charges, draw fees, minimum billing fees, purchase fees, late fees and non-sufficient funds fees as permitted by applicable laws and pursuant to the agreement with the customer. For short-term loans that the Company offers, interest and finance charges are recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan. For line of credit accounts, interest is recognized over the reporting period based upon the balance outstanding and the contractual interest rate, draw fees are recognized on an effective yield basis over the estimated outstanding period of the draw, and minimum billing fees are recognized when assessed to the customer. For installment loans, interest is recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan. For RPAs, revenue and purchase fees are recognized on an effective yield basis over the projected delivery term of the agreements and fees are recognized when assessed. CSO fees are recognized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan. Late and nonsufficient funds fees are recognized when assessed to the customer. Direct costs associated with originating loans and purchasing RPAs, such as third-party customer acquisition costs, are deferred and amortized against revenue on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan or the projected delivery term of the finance receivable. Short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans, RPAs, unpaid and accrued interest, fees and revenue and deferred origination costs are included in “Loans and finance receivables, net” in the consolidated balance sheets.

ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 350, Goodwill, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life for potential impairment annually as of June 30 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount.
The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. In assessing the qualitative factors, management considers relevant events and circumstances including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market environment, overall financial performance of the Company, cash flow from operating activities, market capitalization and stock price. If the Company determines that the two-step quantitative impairment test is required, management uses the income approach to complete its annual goodwill assessment. The income approach uses future cash flows and estimated terminal values for the Company that are discounted using a market participant perspective to determine the fair value, which is then compared to the carrying value to determine if there is impairment. The income approach includes assumptions about revenue growth rates, operating margins and terminal growth rates discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital derived from other publicly-traded companies that are similar but not identical from an operational and economic standpoint. The Company completed its annual assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2017 based on qualitative factors and determined that the fair value of its goodwill exceeded carrying value, and, as a result, no impairment existed at that date. Although no goodwill impairment was noted, there can be no assurances that future goodwill impairments will not occur.
Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendments in ASU 2016-09 simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”) clarifying when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASU 2017-05”) to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 is effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). Therefore, for public entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2017-05 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”) to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when an asset or group of assets acquired is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that
7
ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
need to be further evaluated. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2017-01 will have a material effect on its consolida ted financial statements .
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”), which requires entities to recognize the income tax impact of an intra-entity sale or transfer of an asset other than inventory when the sale or transfer occurs, rather than when the asset has been sold to an outside party. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-16 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016-15”). The amendments in ASU 2016-15 provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, distributions received from equity method investees and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 clarifies certain existing principles in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230, Statement of Cash Flows, including providing additional guidance related to transfers between cash and restricted cash and how entities present, in their statement of cash flows, the cash receipts and cash payments that directly affect the restricted cash accounts. ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 will modify the Company's current disclosures and classifications within the consolidated statement of cash flows but they are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”). The amendments in ASU 2016‑13 replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016‑13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2016‑13, which at the date of adoption will increase the allowance for credit losses with a resulting negative adjustment to retained earnings.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessee recognition on the balance sheet of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. It further requires recognition in the income statement of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. Finally, it requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities upon issuance. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company expects to report higher assets and liabilities as a result of including additional leases on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have a material impact on the consolidated statements of income or the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016‑01”), which requires that equity investments, except for those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation of the investee, be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. ASU 2016-01 also impacts the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only for certain provisions. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date , deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-
8
ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) , to clarify revenue recognition accounting when a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , to clarify the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. Early adoption of ASU 2016 ‑10 is permitted only as of an annual reporting period beginning after Decem ber 15, 2016. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, to reduce the risk of diversity in practice for certain aspects in ASU 2014-09, including collectibility, noncash consideration, presentation of sal es tax and transition. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which clarifies the guidance in Topic 606 on assessing certain aspects of the new revenue stan dard. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions |
On June 23, 2015, the Company completed the purchase of certain assets of a company operating as The Business Backer, LLC, which purchases discounted future accounts receivables from small businesses in the United States through RPAs, which provide working capital for small businesses. The total consideration of $26.4 million was comprised of $17.7 million in cash at closing, a $3.0 million promissory note (included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets) and estimated contingent consideration of $5.7 million based on future earn-out opportunities. The contingent purchase consideration was recorded at its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition based upon the Company’s assessment of the probable earnings attributable to the business as defined in the purchase agreement. To the extent operating results exceed the Company’s estimate, additional contingent consideration would be due, however the total consideration paid may not exceed $71 million. The contingent purchase consideration is revalued each reporting period with changes in fair value of the contingent consideration obligations recognized as a gain or loss on fair value remeasurement in our consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration was remeasured as of December 31, 2016 and a gain from the fair value remeasurement of $3.3 million was recognized. There was no change in fair value measurement of contingent consideration for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
This purchase was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The operating results of the purchased assets, which were not material, have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Current and Delinquent Loans and Finance Receivables
The Company classifies its loans and finance receivables as either current or delinquent. Short-term loans are considered delinquent when payment of an amount due is not made as of the due date. If a line of credit account or installment loan customer misses one payment, that payment is considered delinquent and the balance of the loan is considered current. If a line of credit account or installment loan customer does not make two consecutive payments, the entire account or loan is classified as delinquent and placed on a non-accrual status. The Company allows for normal payment processing time before considering a loan delinquent but does not provide for any additional grace period.
The Company does not accrue interest on delinquent loans and does not resume accrual of interest on a delinquent loan unless it is returned to current status. In addition, delinquent loans generally may not be renewed, and if, during its attempt to collect on a delinquent loan, the Company allows additional time for payment through a payment plan or a promise to pay, it is still considered

delinquent. Generally, all payments received are first applied against accrued but unpaid interest and fees and then against the principal balance of th e loan.
Allowance and Liability for Estimated Losses on Loans and Finance Receivables
The Company monitors the performance of its loan and finance receivable portfolios and maintains either an allowance or liability for estimated losses on loans and finance receivables (including revenue, fees and/or interest) at a level estimated to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for losses on the Company’s owned loans and finance receivables reduces the outstanding loans and finance receivables balance in the consolidated balance sheets. The liability for estimated losses related to loans guaranteed under its CSO programs is initially recorded at fair value and is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets.
In determining the allowance or liability for estimated losses on loans and finance receivables, the Company applies a documented systematic methodology. In calculating the allowance or liability for receivable losses, outstanding loans and finance receivables are divided into discrete groups of short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs and are analyzed as current or delinquent. Increases in either the allowance or the liability, net of charge-offs and recoveries, are recorded as a “Cost of revenue” in the consolidated statements of income.
The allowance or liability for short-term loans classified as current is based on historical loss rates adjusted for recent default trends for current loans. For delinquent short-term loans, the allowance or liability is based on a six-month rolling average of loss rates by stage of collection. For line of credit account, installment loan and RPA portfolios, the Company generally uses either a migration analysis or roll-rate based methodology to estimate losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance or liability calculation under the migration analysis and roll-rate methodology is based on historical charge-off experience and the loss emergence period, which represents the average amount of time between the first occurrence of a loss event and the charge-off of a loan or RPA. The factors the Company considers to assess the adequacy of the allowance or liability include past due performance, historical behavior of monthly vintages, underwriting changes and recent trends in delinquency in the migration analysis. The roll-rate methodology is based on delinquency status, payment history and recency factors to estimate future charge-offs.
The Company fully reserves for loans and finance receivables once the receivable or a portion of the receivable has been classified as delinquent for 60 consecutive days and generally charges off loans and finance receivables between 60 – 65 days delinquent. If a loan or finance receivable is deemed uncollectible before it is fully reserved, it is charged off at that point. Loans and finance receivables classified as delinquent generally have an age of one to 64 days from the date any portion of the receivable became delinquent, as defined above. Recoveries on loans and finance receivables previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance when collected.
The components of Company-owned loans and finance receivables at June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

consumer loans guaranteed by the Company was $28.0 million, $31.2 million and $32.2 million, respectively, representing amounts due under consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs.

In order to leverage its online lending platform, the Company launched a program with a bank in 2016 to provide technology, marketing services, and loan servicing for near-prime unsecured consumer installment loans. Under the program, the Company receives marketing and servicing fees while the bank receives an origination fee. The bank has the ability to sell the loans it originates to the Company.

Consumer Loan Securitization
2016-1 Facility
On January 15, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (as amended, the “2016-1 Securitization Facility”) with certain purchasers, Jefferies Funding LLC, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and Bankers Trust Company, as indenture trustee and securities intermediary (the “Indenture Trustee”). The 2016-1 Securitization Facility securitizes unsecured consumer installment loans (“Receivables”) that have been, or will be, originated or acquired under the Company’s NetCredit brand and that meet specified eligibility criteria. Under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility, Receivables are sold to EFR 2016-1, LLC, a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary (the “Issuer”), and serviced by another subsidiary.
The Issuer issued an initial term note of $107.4 million (the “Initial Term Note”), which was secured by $134 million in unsecured consumer loans, and variable funding notes (the “Variable Funding Notes”) with an aggregate availability of $20 million per month; the 2016-1 Securitization Facility was amended to increase the availability to $40 million until December 31, 2016, and $30 million thereafter, as discussed below. As described below, the Issuer has issued and will subsequently issue term notes (the “Term Notes” and, together with the Initial Term Note and the Variable Funding Notes, the “Securitization Notes”). The maximum principal amount of the Securitization Notes that may be outstanding at any time under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility was limited to $175 million; the 2016-1 Securitization Facility was amended to increase the maximum principal amount to $275 million, as discussed below.
At the end of each month during the nine-month revolving period, the Receivables funded by the Variable Funding Notes have been and will be refinanced through the creation of two Term Notes, which Term Notes have been and will be issued to the holders of the
13
ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Variable Funding Notes. The non-recourse Securitization Notes mature at various dates, the l atest of which will be October 15, 2020 (the “Final Maturity Date”). The 2016-1 Securitization Facility has been amended to extend the revolving period to October 2017 and the latest maturity to October 2021, as discussed below.
The Securitization Notes are issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 15, 2016 (the “Closing Date”). The Securitization Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (subject to a floor of 1%) plus 7.75%, which rate was initially 8.75%. In addition, the Issuer paid certain customary upfront closing fees and will pay customary annual commitment and other fees to the purchasers under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility. The Issuer is permitted to voluntarily prepay any outstanding Securitization Notes, subject to an optional redemption premium. Interest and principal payments on outstanding Securitization Notes are made monthly. Any remaining amounts outstanding will be payable no later than the Final Maturity Date. The Securitization Notes are supported by the cash flows from the underlying Receivables. The holders of the Securitization Notes have no recourse to the Company if the cash flows from the underlying Receivables are not sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the Securitization Notes unless the underlying Receivables breach the representations and warranties made by us as of the related sale date as described below. Additionally, the Receivables will be held by the Issuer at least until the obligations under the Securitization Notes are satisfied. For so long as the Receivables are owned by the Issuer, the outstanding Receivables will not be available to satisfy the Company’s other debts and obligations.
All amounts due under the Securitization Notes are secured by all of the Issuer’s assets, which include the Receivables transferred to the Issuer, related rights under the Receivables, specified bank accounts, and certain other related collateral.
The 2016-1 Securitization Facility documents contain customary provisions for securitizations, including: representations and warranties as to the eligibility of the Receivables and other matters; indemnification for specified losses not including losses due to the inability of consumers to repay their loans; covenants regarding special purpose entity matters and other subjects; and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the Securitization Notes under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, servicer defaults, certain insolvency events, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, failure to maintain the security interest in the receivables, defaults under other material indebtedness and certain regulatory matters.
The agreements evidencing the 2016-1 Facility, all dated as of the Closing Date, include (i) an Indenture between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, (ii) a Note Purchase Agreement among the Issuer, NetCredit Loan Services, LLC (f/k/a Enova Lending Services, LLC), as the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and certain purchasers, and (iii) a Receivables Purchase Agreement between the Company and Enova Finance 5, LLC. On July 26, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a First Omnibus Amendment (the “First Amendment”) of the 2016-1 Facility that was established on the Closing Date, pursuant to various agreements with certain purchasers, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee. The First Amendment effected a variety of minor technical changes to the Indenture, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the servicing agreement for the 2016-1 Facility. These changes included revised procedures under the Note Purchase Agreement for the disbursement to the Issuer of proceeds from draws under the Variable Funding Notes and clarification of modifications that the servicer is permitted to effect to the terms of the Receivables that have been transferred into the EFR 2016-1 Facility.
On August 17, 2016, the Company and one of its subsidiaries entered into an Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. This amendment modified an eligibility criterion for Receivables that the Company sells under the Agreement.
On September 12, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Omnibus Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Second Amendment authorized the Company to include in the 2016-1 Facility Receivables originated by a state-chartered bank and acquired by a subsidiary of the Company from that bank, and it adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Net Loss Trigger for the Initial Term Note Investment Pool (as such terms are defined in the Indenture), which was the seasoned pool of receivables securitized under the 2016-1 Facility on the Closing Date.
On October 20, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment and Limited Waiver (the “Third Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Third Amendment increased the maximum principal amount of the 2016-1 Facility to $275 million, increased the Variable Funding Notes maximum principal amount to $40 million until December 31, 2016, and $30 million thereafter, and extended the revolving period of the facility to October 2017. The Third Amendment also adjusted the Note Interest Rate on Term Notes issued after, and amounts outstanding under the Variable Funding Notes after, the date of the Third Amendment (as such terms are defined in the Indenture). The weighted average interest rate on such adjusted Notes is 9.5%.
14
ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
On November 14, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to am end the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Fourth Amendment adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Delinquency Trigger (as such term is defined in the Indenture), with an effective date of October 31, 2016.
On December 14, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Fifth Amendment adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Delinquency Trigger (as such term is defined in the Indenture) for the Initial Term Notes, with an effective date of November 30, 2016, expanded the categories of Receivables that could be financed through the 2016-1 Facility and made certain other minor changes. These changes provide the Company with additional flexibility under the 2016-1 Facility.
As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the carrying amount of the 2016-1 Securitization Facility was $138.8 million and $103.9 million, respectively, which included unamortized issuance costs of $1.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over a period of four years. The total interest expense recognized was $7.5 million and $6.2 million of which $0.8 million and $1.8 million represented the non-cash amortization of the issuance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
2016-2 Facility
On December 1, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (the “2016-2 Facility”) with Redpoint Capital Asset Funding, LLC, as lender (the “Lender”). The 2016-2 Facility securitizes unsecured consumer installment loans (“Redpoint Receivables”) that have been and will be originated or acquired under the Company’s NetCredit brand by several of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Originators”) and that meet specified eligibility criteria, including that the annual percentage rate for each securitized consumer loan is greater than or equal to 90%. Under the 2016-2 Facility, Redpoint Receivables are sold to a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company (the “Debtor”) and serviced by another subsidiary of the Company.
The Debtor has issued a revolving note with an initial maximum principal balance of $20.0 million (the “Initial Facility Size”), which is required to be secured by $25.0 million in unsecured consumer loans. The Initial Facility Size may be increased under the 2016-2 Facility to $40 million. The 2016-2 Facility is non-recourse to the Company and matures on December 1, 2019.
The 2016-2 Facility is governed by a loan and security agreement, dated as of December 1, 2016, between the Lender and the Debtor. The 2016-2 Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR (subject to a floor) plus an applicable margin, which rate per annum was initially 12.50%. In addition, the Debtor paid certain customary upfront closing fees to the Lender. Interest payments on the 2016-2 Facility will be made monthly. Subject to certain exceptions, the Debtor is not permitted to prepay the 2016-2 Facility prior to October 1, 2018. Following such date, the Debtor is permitted to voluntarily prepay the 2016-2 Facility without penalty. Any remaining amounts outstanding will be payable no later than December 1, 2019.
All amounts due under the 2016-2 Facility are secured by all of the Debtor’s assets, which include the Redpoint Receivables transferred to the Debtor, related rights under the Redpoint Receivables, a bank account and certain other related collateral.
The 2016-2 Facility documents contain customary provisions for securitizations, including: representations and warranties as to the eligibility of the Redpoint Receivables and other matters; indemnification for specified losses not including losses due to the inability of consumers to repay the related Receivables; and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the 2016-2 Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, certain insolvency events, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, failure to maintain the security interest in the receivables and defaults under other material indebtedness of the Debtor.
As of June 30, 2017, the carrying amount of the 2016-2 Facility was $12.1 million. In connection with the issuance of the 2016-2 Facility, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $0.2 million. The unamortized balance of these costs as of June 30, 2017 is included in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over a period of 36 months, the term of the 2016-2 Facility. The total interest expense recognized was $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The 2014 Credit Agreement also included a sub-limit of up to $20.0 million for standby or commercial letters of credit.

The 2017 Credit Agreement is secured by domestic receivables and replaced the 2014 Credit Agreement. The borrowing limit in the 2017 Credit Agreement increased to $40 million from $35 million in the 2014 Credit Agreement, and its maturity date is May 1, 2020.

A portion of the revolving credit facility, up to a maximum of $20 million, is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company had outstanding letters of credit under the 2017 Credit Agreement of $6.0 million as of June 30, 2017. The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for certain prepayment penalties if it is terminated on or before its first and second anniversary date, subject to certain exceptions.
The 2017 Credit Agreement contains certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, the attachment of liens to the Company’s property, the amount of dividends and other distributions, fundamental changes to the Company or its business and certain other activities of the Company. The 2017 Credit Agreement contains standard financial covenants for a facility of this type based on a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The 2017 Credit Agreement also provides for customary affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements, and certain events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults and other customary defaults.
In connection with the issuance of the 2017 Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $1.8 million, which primarily consisted of underwriting fees and legal expenses.

Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares during the period. Restricted stock units issued under the Company’s stock-based employee compensation plans are included in diluted shares upon the granting of the awards even though the vesting of shares will occur over time.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Commitments and Contingencies |
Litigation
On March 8, 2013, Flemming Kristensen, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Nevada against the Company and other unaffiliated lenders and lead providers. The lawsuit alleges that the lead provider defendants sent unauthorized text messages to consumers on behalf of the Company and the other lender defendants in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The complaint seeks class certification, statutory damages, an injunction against “wireless spam activities,” and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company filed an answer to the complaint denying all liability. On March 26, 2014, the Court granted class certification. On July 20, 2015, the court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment, denied Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and, on July 21, 2015, entered judgment in favor of the Company. Plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration, which was denied. On May 3, 2016, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the order granting summary judgment for the Company, the judgment in favor of the company, and the order denying Plaintiff’s motion to reconsider. Appellate briefing is now complete. Neither the likelihood of an unfavorable appellate decision nor the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to this matter can be determined at this time, and the Company is currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, as defined by ASC 450-20-20, Contingencies–Loss Contingencies–Glossary, for this litigation. The Company believes that the Plaintiff’s claims in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.
The Company is also a defendant in certain routine litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these matters may be covered to an extent by insurance or by indemnification agreements with third parties. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Headquarters Relocation
During 2014 the Company accelerated the lease expiration date for approximately 86,000 rentable square feet at its prior headquarters office space effective June 30, 2015. The Company relocated to its current headquarters in 2015 and recognized an expense of $3.7 million which was included as “General and administrative expense” and consisted of a lease exit liability of $2.9 million for the remaining lease payments, net of estimated sublease income of $1.7 million, and $0.8 million for the removal of property and restoration costs related to the prior headquarters lease. The Company did not incur further material costs related to the relocation.
The following table is a summary of the exit and disposal activity and liability balances as a result of the headquarters relocation for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
The Company has periodically used forward currency exchange contracts to minimize the effects of foreign currency risk in the United Kingdom. The forward currency exchange contracts are non-designated derivatives. Any gain or loss resulting from these contracts is recorded as income or loss and is included in “Foreign currency transaction gain” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2017, the Company did not manage its exposure to risk from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through the use of forward currency exchange contracts in the United Kingdom or Brazil .
The Company had no outstanding derivative instruments as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016.
There were no effects of derivative instruments on the consolidated results of operations and accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Related Party Transactions |
A current officer of the Company has an ongoing ownership interest in the small business from which the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities in June 2015 (see Note 2 for additional information). In the normal course of business, the Company attains certain customer relationships from the small business by entering into transactions with the customers to provide additional RPA financing. In these transactions, the Company satisfies the customer’s existing RPA balance with the small business which terminates such customer’s responsibilities to the small business. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company did not attain any relationships through these transactions with the small business. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company paid $0.3 million to the small business to satisfy customers’ existing RPA balances. Pursuant to the acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company issued a promissory note to the small business in the amount of $3.0 million (the “Promissory Note”) and granted the company an opportunity to earn certain contingent purchase consideration (see Note 2 for additional information), both of which are guaranteed by the Company. The Promissory Note accrues interest at a rate of 4.0% per annum and will mature on June 23, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred interest expense of $63 thousand and $60 thousand, respectively, related to the Promissory Note. In addition, as a condition precedent to the acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company executed a Transition Services Agreement with the small business from which the Company acquired certain assets whereby it agreed to provide certain transition services to the business for three years following the acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company was paid $14 thousand and $20 thousand, respectively, for such services.
The Company and Cash America entered into an agreement in conjunction with the Spin-off for the Company to administer the consumer loan underwriting model utilized by Cash America’s Retail Services Division in exchange for a fee per transaction paid to the Company as well as the reimbursement of the Company’s direct third-party costs incurred in providing the service. The Company received $0.4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, pursuant to this agreement.
Since May 30, 2014, amounts due from or due to Cash America or FirstCash have been settled a month in arrears. The balance due from Cash America of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2016 and from FirstCash of $46 thousand as of June 30, 2017 and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2016 is included in “Other receivables and prepaid expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Variable Interest Entities |
As part of the Company’s overall funding strategy and as part of its efforts to support its liquidity from sources other than its traditional capital market sources, the Company has established a securitization program through the 2016-1 and 2016-2 Securitization

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Facilities. The Company transferred certain consumer loan receivables to wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiaries (VIEs), which issue term notes backed by the underlying consumer loan receivables and are serviced by another wholly owned subsidiary.
The Company is required to evaluate the VIEs for consolidation. The Company has the ability to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities as the servicer of the securitized loan receivables. Additionally, the Company has the right to receive residual payments, which expose it to potentially significant losses and returns. Accordingly, the Company determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and is required to consolidate them.
The assets and liabilities related to the VIEs are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are accounted for as secured borrowings.
The Company parenthetically discloses on its consolidated balance sheets the VIE’s assets that can only be used to settle the VIE’s obligations and the VIE liabilities if the VIE’s creditors have no recourse against the Company’s general credit. The carrying amounts of consolidated VIE assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s securitization entities were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements |
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, are classified in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements. It is the Company’s policy to value any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy based on end of period fair values.

The non-qualified savings plan assets are included in “Other receivables and prepaid expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and have an offsetting liability of equal amount, which is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. |
The Company determined the fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the purchase agreement and utilizes assumptions with regard to future earnings, probabilities of achieving such future earnings, the timing of expected payments and a discount rate. Significant increases with respect to assumptions as to future earnings and probabilities of achieving such future earnings would result in a higher fair value measurement while an increase in the discount rate would result in a lower fair value measurement. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in the fair value hierarchy.
The changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is a Level 3 liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are summarized in the tables below for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs are included in “Loans and finance receivables, net” in the consolidated balance sheets. |
(2) |
Investment in unconsolidated investee is included in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. |
(3) |
See Note 4 for additional information related to the investment in unconsolidated investee. |
(4) |
Installment loan and RPAs, net include $223.4 million, $142.3 million and $216.8 million in net assets of consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively. |
(5) |
Restricted cash includes $19.1 million, $13.9 million and $19.5 million in assets of consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively. |
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash bear interest at market rates and have original maturities of less than 90 days. The carrying amount of restricted cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs are carried in the consolidated balance sheet net of the allowance for estimated losses, which is calculated by applying historical loss rates combined with recent default trends to the gross receivable balance. Short-term loans and line of credit accounts have relatively short maturity periods that are generally 12 months or less. The unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of these receivables include historical loss rates, recent default trends and estimated remaining loan term; therefore, the carrying value approximates the fair value. The fair value of installment loans and RPAs is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, which consider interest rates on loans and discounts offered for receivables with similar terms to customers with similar credit quality, the timing of expected payments, estimated customer default rates and/or valuations of comparable portfolios. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s installment loans and RPAs was greater than the carrying value of these loans and finance receivables. Unsecured installment loans typically have terms between two and 60 months. RPAs typically have estimated delivery terms between six and 18 months.
The Company measures the fair value of its investment in unconsolidated investee using Level 3 inputs. Because the unconsolidated investee is a private company and financial information is limited, the Company estimates the fair value based on the best available information at the measurement date. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016 the Company estimated the fair value of its investment to be approximately equal to the book value.
In connection with its CSO programs, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to unrelated third-party lenders for short-term and installment loans the Company arranges for consumers on the third-party lenders’ behalf and is required to purchase any defaulted loans it has guaranteed. The estimated fair value of the liability for estimated losses on consumer loans guaranteed by the Company was $1.9 million, $1.8 million and $2.0 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company measures the fair value of its liability for third-party lender-owned consumer loans under Level 3 inputs. The fair value of these liabilities is calculated by applying historical loss rates combined with recent default trends to the gross consumer loan balance. The unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of these loans include historical loss rates, recent default trends and estimated remaining loan terms; therefore, the carrying value of these liabilities approximates the fair value.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a leading technology and analytics company focused on providing online financial services to consumers and small businesses. In 2016, we extended approximately $2.1 billion in credit to borrowers. As of June 30, 2017, we offered or arranged loans to consumers in 33 states in the United States and in the United Kingdom and Brazil. We also offered financing to small businesses in all 50 states and Washington D.C. in the United States. We use our proprietary technology, analytics and customer service capabilities to quickly evaluate, underwrite and fund loans or provide financing, allowing us to offer consumers and small businesses credit or financing when and how they want it. Our customers include the large and growing number of consumers who and small businesses which have bank accounts but use alternative financial services because of their limited access to more traditional credit from banks, credit card companies and other lenders. We were an early entrant into online lending, launching our online business in 2004, and through June 30, 2017, we have completed over 41.2 million customer transactions and collected approximately 16 terabytes of currently accessible customer behavior data since launch, allowing us to better analyze and underwrite our specific customer base. We have significantly diversified our business over the past several years having expanded the markets we serve and the financing products we offer. These financing products include short-term loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and receivables purchase agreements (“RPAs”).
We believe our customers highly value our products and services as an important component of their personal or business finances because our products are convenient, quick and often less expensive than other available alternatives. We attribute the success of our business to our advanced and innovative technology systems, the proprietary analytical models we use to predict the performance of loans and finance receivables, our sophisticated customer acquisition programs, our dedication to customer service and our talented employees.
We have developed proprietary underwriting systems based on data we have collected over our 13 years of experience. These systems employ advanced risk analytics to decide whether to approve financing transactions, to structure the amount and terms of the financings we offer pursuant to jurisdiction-specific regulations and to provide customers with their funds quickly and efficiently. Our systems closely monitor collection and portfolio performance data that we use to continually refine the analytical models and statistical measures used in making our credit, purchase, marketing and collection decisions.
Our flexible and scalable technology platform allows us to process and complete customers’ transactions quickly and efficiently. In 2016, we processed approximately 3.8 million transactions, and we continue to grow our loans and finance receivable portfolios and increase the number of customers we serve through desktop, tablet and mobile platforms. Our highly customizable technology platform allows us to efficiently develop and deploy new products to adapt to evolving regulatory requirements and consumer preference, and to enter new markets quickly. In 2012, we launched a new product in the United States designed to serve near-prime customers, and in April 2014 we introduced a similar product in the United Kingdom. In June 2014, we launched our business in Brazil, where we arrange financing for borrowers through a third party lender. In addition, in July 2014, we introduced a new line of credit product in the United States to serve the needs of small businesses. In June 2015, we further expanded our product offering by acquiring certain assets of a company that provides financing to small businesses by offering RPAs (see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report). In May 2017, we expanded products available to small businesses by offering installment loans. These new products are intended to allow us to further diversify our product offerings, customer base and geographic scope. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, we derived 84.5% of our total revenue from the United States and 15.5% of our total revenue internationally, with 87.3% of international revenue (representing 13.6% of our total revenue) generated in the United Kingdom.
We have been able to consistently acquire new customers and successfully generate repeat business from returning customers when they need financing. We believe our customers are loyal to us because they are satisfied with our products and services. We acquire new customers from a variety of sources, including visits to our own websites, mobile sites or applications, and through direct
34
marketing, affiliate marketing, lead providers and relationships with other lende rs. We believe that the online convenience of our products and our 24/7 availability to accept applications with quick approval decisions are important to our customers.
Once a potential customer submits an application, we quickly provide a credit or purchase decision. If a loan or financing is approved, we or our lending partners typically fund the loan or financing the next business day or, in some cases, the same day. During the entire process, from application through payment, we provide access to our well-trained customer service team. All of our operations, from customer acquisition through collections, are structured to build customer satisfaction and loyalty, in the event that a customer has a need for our products in the future. We have developed a series of sophisticated proprietary scoring models to support our various products. We believe that these models are an integral component of our operations and they allow us to complete a high volume of customer transactions while actively managing risk and the related quality of our loan and finance receivable portfolios. We believe our successful application of these technology innovations differentiates our capabilities relative to competitive platforms as evidenced by our history of strong growth and stable portfolio quality.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Our online financing products and services provide customers with a deposit of funds into their bank account in exchange for a commitment to repay the amount deposited plus fees, interest and/or revenue. We originate, arrange, guarantee or purchase short-term consumer loans, line of credit accounts, installment loans and RPAs. We have one reportable segment that includes all of our online financial services.
|
• |
Short-term consumer loans. Short-term consumer loans are unsecured loans written by us or by a third-party lender through our credit services organization and credit access business programs, which we refer to as our CSO programs, that we arrange and guarantee. As of June 30, 2017, we offered or arranged short-term consumer loans in 18 states in the United States and the United Kingdom. Short-term consumer loans generally have terms of seven to 90 days, with proceeds promptly deposited in the customer’s bank account in exchange for a pre-authorized debit from their account. Due to the credit risk and high transaction costs of serving our customer segment, the interest and/or fees we charge are generally considered to be higher than the interest or fees charged to consumers with superior credit histories by banks and similar lenders who are typically unwilling to make unsecured loans to alternative credit consumers. Our short-term consumer loans contributed approximately 24.6% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 27.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. |
|
• |
Line of credit accounts . As of June 30, 2017 we offered new consumer line of credit accounts in seven states in the United States and business line of credit accounts in 28 states in the United States, which allow customers to draw on their unsecured line of credit in increments of their choosing up to their credit limit. Customers may pay off their account balance in full at any time or make required minimum payments in accordance with the terms of their line of credit account. As long as the customer’s account is in good standing and has credit available, customers may continue to borrow on their line of credit. As a result of regulatory changes in 2014, we discontinued offering line of credit accounts to customers in the United Kingdom effective January 1, 2015. Our line of credit accounts contributed approximately 31.0% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. |
|
• |
Installment loans . Installment loans are longer-term loans that require the outstanding principal balance to be paid down in multiple installments. We offer, or arrange through our CSO programs and market and purchase through our Bank program, multi-payment unsecured consumer installment loan products in 29 states in the United States and small business installment loans in 10 states. We also offer multi-payment unsecured consumer installment loan products in the United Kingdom and Brazil. Terms for our installment loan products range between two and 60 months. These loans generally have higher principal amounts than short-term loans. Loans may be repaid early at any time with no prepayment charges. Installment loans that we originated and purchased contributed approximately 42.3% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 41.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. |
|
• |
Receivables purchase agreements . Under RPAs, small businesses receive funds in exchange for a portion of the business’s future receivables at an agreed upon discount. In contrast, lending is a commitment to repay principal and interest. A small business customer who enters into a RPA commits to delivering a percentage of its receivables through ACH or wire debits or by splitting credit card receipts until all purchased receivables are delivered. We offer RPAs in all 50 states and in Washington D.C. in the United States. Revenue earned from RPAs contributed 2.0% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. |
|
• |
CSO Programs . Through our CSO programs, we provide services related to third-party lenders’ short-term and installment consumer loan products by acting as a credit services organization or credit access business on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws. Services offered under our CSO programs include credit-related services such as arranging loans with independent third-party lenders and assisting in the preparation of loan applications and loan documents (“CSO loans”). Under our CSO programs, we guarantee consumer loan payment obligations to the third party lender in the event the customer defaults on the loan. When a consumer executes an agreement with us under our CSO programs, we agree, for a fee payable to us by the consumer, to provide certain services, one of which is to guarantee the consumer’s obligation to |
35
|
repay the loan received by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer fails to do so. For CSO loans, each lender is responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer’s application is underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the consumer loan. We in turn are responsible for assessing whether or not we will guarantee such loan. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific shor t-term loans, which generally have terms of less than 90 days, and specific installment loans, which have terms of four to 12 months, if they go into default. |
As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding amount of active short-term consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs was $24.1 million and $24.5 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by us.
As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding amount of active installment loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs was $3.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by us.
|
• |
Bank program . In March 2016, we launched a program with a state-chartered bank where we provide technology, loan servicing and marketing services to the bank in 15 states and Washington D.C. in the United States as of June 30, 2017. Our bank partner offers unsecured consumer installment loans with an annual percentage rate (“APR”) at or below 36%. We also have the ability to purchase loans originated through this program. We plan to grow this program through expanding to more states and adding additional partners. Revenue generated from this program for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 1.9% and less than 0.1% of our total revenue, respectively. |

Exiting Australia and Canada Markets
We previously provided services under the name DollarsDirect at www.dollarsdirect.com.au in Australia, and we began providing services there in May 2009. We previously provided services in Canada in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan under the name DollarsDirect at www.dollarsdirect.ca, and we began providing services there in October 2009. Due to the small size of the Australian and Canadian markets and our limited operations there, we decided to exit those markets in 2016 and reallocate our resources to our other existing businesses. As a result, we have stopped lending activities and have wound down our loan portfolios.
RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
On July 10, 2017, the CFPB issued its final rule on arbitration. The rule prohibits class action waivers in certain consumer financial services contracts and requires financial services providers covered by the rule to submit certain records to the CFPB if arbitration is used to resolve disputes with consumers. The rule will apply to contracts entered into beginning on March 19, 2018 (and will not apply to prior contracts with class action waivers or arbitration agreements unless such accounts or debts are sold after that date). However, under the Congressional Review Act, Congress has 60 legislative days after publication of the rule in the Federal Register (which occurred on July 19, 2017) to strike it down by a majority vote in both Houses of Congress. We cannot currently assess the likelihood of the rule becoming effective. Any judicial decisions, legislation or other rules or regulations that impair our ability to enter into and enforce consumer arbitration agreements and class action waivers will increase our exposure to class action litigation as well as litigation in plaintiff-friendly jurisdictions, which would be costly and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Maryland General Assembly passed House Bill 1270 on March 31, 2017 and Senate Bill 527 on April 10, 2017. The governor of Maryland signed the legislation into law on May 25, 2017. The new law limits the total fees, charges and interest that can be assessed
36
on unsecured revolving credit plans with Maryland consumers to an effective rate of 33% per year. The law went into effect on July 1, 2017 with regard to new revolving credit plans.
On November 29, 2016, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), our primary regulator in the United Kingdom, issued a Call for Input seeking evidence and feedback to further inform its previous reviews of the high-cost credit market, including a review of the payday loan price cap that was implemented on January 2, 2015. On July 31, 2017, the FCA published the outcome of its review and decided not to change the price cap but to review it again in three years. The FCA found that regulation of high-cost short-term credit, including the price cap, has led to substantial benefits to consumers. The FCA validated concerns about specific products and segments of the high-cost credit market, including unarranged overdrafts and long-term use of high-cost credit and the rent-to-own, home-collected credit and catalog credit markets. The FCA plans to investigate those products and segments further and issue a Consultation Paper on proposed solutions in the spring of 2018. We do not currently know what solutions the FCA may implement as a result or how any changes may affect our business operations. If any new rules or guidance significantly restrict the conduct of our business, such implementation could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Also on July 31, 2017, the FCA issued a Consultation Paper on proposed changes to its rules and guidance on assessing creditworthiness in consumer credit. The FCA has requested responses to the consultation by October 31, 2017 and expects to publish its findings in the second quarter of 2018. We do not currently know whether or how the FCA may amend its rules and guidance on assessing creditworthiness in consumer credit or how it will affect our business operations. If any new rules or guidance significantly restrict the conduct of our business, such implementation could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURE
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we provide historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.
Management provides non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our
38
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may b e determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Adjusted Earnings Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, or, collectively, the Adjusted Earnings Measures, which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as the Adjusted Earnings Measures, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, management believes that the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of each of these expense items.
The following table provides reconciliations between net income and diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Adjusted Earnings Measures, which are shown net of tax (in thousands, except per share data):

Adjusted EBITDA
The table below shows Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure that we define as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, taxes, stock-based compensation expense and lease termination and relocation costs. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and our capacity for making capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess our estimated enterprise value. In addition, management believes that the adjustment for lease termination and relocation costs shown below is useful to investors in order to allow them to compare our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of the expense item. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA, as presented below, may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies (in thousands):

Constant Currency Basis
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided certain other non-GAAP financial information on a constant currency basis. We operate in the United Kingdom and Brazil. During the current quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 16.8% and 15.5%, respectively, of our revenue originated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, principally the British Pound Sterling. As a result, changes in our reported revenue and profits include the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As additional information to the reader, we provide constant currency assessments in the following discussion and analysis to remove and/or quantify the impact of the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and utilize constant currency results in our analysis of performance. Our constant currency assessment assumes foreign exchange rates in the current fiscal periods remained the same as in the prior fiscal year periods. All conversion rates below are based on the U.S. Dollar equivalent to one of the applicable foreign currencies:

Management believes that our non-GAAP constant currency assessments are a useful measure, as they indicate the actual growth and profitability of our operations.
Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures
In addition to reporting loans and finance receivables balance information in accordance with GAAP (see Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report), we have provided metrics on a combined basis. The Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures are non-GAAP measures that include both loans and RPAs we own or have purchased and loans we guarantee, which are either GAAP items or disclosures required by GAAP. See “—Loan and Finance Receivable Balances,” “—Loans
40
and Finance Receivables Loss Experience” and “—Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience by Product” below for reconciliations between Company owned and purchased loans and finance receivables, gross, allowance and liability for losses, cost of revenue and charge-offs (net of recoveries) calculated in accordance wit h GAAP to the Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures.
Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with important information needed to evaluate the magnitude of potential receivable losses and the opportunity for revenue performance of the loans and finance receivable portfolio on an aggregate basis. Management also believes that the comparison of the aggregate amounts from period to period is more meaningful than comparing only the amounts reflected on our balance sheet since both revenue and cost of revenue are impacted by the aggregate amount of receivables we own and those we guarantee as reflected in our financial statements.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue increased $17.4 million, or 10.1%, to $189.9 million for the current quarter as compared to $172.5 million for the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by $20.4 million, or 11.8%, for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Our domestic operations contributed an increase of $17.8 million, primarily resulting from a 17.3% increase in domestic line of credit account revenue and a 14.2% increase in domestic installment loan and RPA revenue in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter driven by strong customer demand for these products. The increase in revenue from domestic operations was partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $0.4 million (an increase of $2.6 million on a constant currency basis) from our international operations.
Our gross profit increased by $2.9 million to $110.0 million for the current quarter from $107.1 million for the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, gross profit increased by $5.1 million for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Our consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or our gross profit margin, decreased to 57.9%, or 58.1% on a constant currency basis, for the current quarter, from 62.1% for the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by the continued strong new customer growth of our domestic short-term and sub-prime installment and small business line of credit portfolios, which requires higher loss provisions as new customers default at a higher rate than returning customers with a successful history of loan performance.
The following tables set forth the components of revenue and gross profit, separated by product and between domestic and international for the current quarter and the prior year quarter (in thousands):

Loan and Finance Receivable Balances
Our loan and finance receivable balance in our consolidated financial statements for June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $647.8 million and $563.8 million, respectively, before the allowance for losses of $83.8 million and $73.8 million, respectively. The combined loan and finance receivable balance includes $28.0 million and $31.2 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of consumer loan balances that are guaranteed by us but not owned by us, which are not included in our consolidated financial statements for June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, before the liability for estimated losses of $1.9 million and $1.8 million provided in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in our consolidated financial statements for June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The ending portfolio balance of loans and finance receivables, net of allowance for losses, increased $74.0 million, or 15.1%, to $564.0 million as of June 30, 2017 from $490.0 million as of June 30, 2016, and the outstanding combined portfolio balance of loans and finance receivables, net of allowance and liability for estimated losses, increased $70.7 million, or 13.6%, to $590.1 million as of June 30, 2017 from $519.4 million as of June 30, 2016, primarily due to increased demand for our domestic near-prime installment and consumer and small business line of credit products. The outstanding loan balance for our domestic near-prime product increased 23.6% in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter resulting in a domestic near-prime portfolio balance that comprises 42.4% of our total loan and finance receivable portfolio balance while short-term loans comprised approximately 12.7% of our total loan and finance receivable portfolio balance in the current quarter, compared to 14.0% in the prior year quarter. We expect this trend to continue as we increase the number of states offering a near-prime installment lending product under our bank program. Management expects the loan balances for our domestic near-prime installment loan product will continue to comprise a larger percentage of the total loan and finance receivable portfolio, due to customer demand for these products and their longer loan term. Our portfolio of loans and finance receivables serving the needs of small businesses remains stable and comprises more than 12% of our total loan and finance receivable portfolio. See “—Non-GAAP Disclosure—Combined Loans and Finance Receivables” above for additional information related to combined loans and finance receivables.

Average Amount Outstanding per Loan
The average amount outstanding per loan is calculated as the total combined loans, gross balance at the end of the period divided by the total number of combined loans outstanding at the end of the period. The following table shows the average amount outstanding per loan by product at June 30, 2017 and 2016:

The average amount outstanding per consumer loan increased to $1,277 from $1,173 during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a greater mix of installment loans and line of credit accounts, which have higher average amounts outstanding relative to short-term loans, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
Average Loan Origination
The average loan origination amount is calculated as the total amount of combined loans originated and renewed for the period divided by the total number of combined loans originated and renewed for the period.

Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience
The allowance and liability for estimated losses as a percentage of combined loans and RPAs remained flat at 12.7% as of June 30, 2017 and 2016.
The cost of revenue in the current quarter was $79.9 million, which was composed of $79.1 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables and a $0.8 million increase in the liability for estimated losses related to loans we guaranteed through the CSO programs. The cost of revenue in the prior year quarter was $65.4 million, which was composed of $64.8 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables and a $0.6 million increase in the liability for estimated losses related to loans we guaranteed through the CSO programs. Total charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $78.8 million and $58.6 million in the current quarter and the prior year quarter, respectively.

Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience by Product
Management evaluates loss rates for all financing products in our portfolio to determine credit quality and evaluate trends. For our products, we evaluate loans and finance receivables losses as a percentage of the average loan and finance receivable balance outstanding or the average combined loan and finance receivable balance outstanding, whichever is applicable, for each portfolio.
Short-term Loans
Demand for our short-term loan product in the United States has historically been highest in the third and fourth quarters of each year, corresponding to the holiday season, and lowest in the first quarter of each year, corresponding to our customers’ receipt of income tax refunds. Customer demand for short-term loans in the United Kingdom was very strong in the first half of 2017 while demand in the United States remained stable. This led to higher short-term consumer loan balances.
Our gross profit margin for short-term loans is typically highest in the first quarter of each year, corresponding to the seasonal decline in consumer loan balances outstanding. The cost of revenue as a percentage of the average combined loan balance for short-term loans outstanding is typically lower in the first quarter and generally peaks in the second half of the year with higher loan demand.

Line of Credit Accounts
The cost of revenue as a percentage of average loan balance for line of credit accounts exhibits a similar quarterly seasonal trend to short-term loan loss rates as the ratio is typically lower in the first quarter and increases throughout the remainder of the year, peaking in the second half of the year with higher loan demand. The gross profit margin is generally lower for line of credit accounts as compared to short-term loans because the highest levels of default are exhibited in the early stages of the account, while revenue is recognized over the term of the account. As a result, particularly in periods of higher growth, the gross profit margin will be lower for this product than for our short-term loan products. Conversely, in periods of declining originations and portfolio contraction, the gross profit margin will be higher for this product. The year over year increase in the allowance for losses as a percentage of loan balance was due to higher new and existing customer demand for the domestic line of credit product in the second quarter of 2017.

Installment Loans and RPAs
The cost of revenue as a percentage of average loan and finance receivable balance for installment loans and RPAs is typically more consistent throughout the year as compared to short-term loans and line of credit accounts. Due to the scheduled monthly or bi-weekly payments and delivery of receivables that are inherent with installment loans and RPAs, we do not experience the higher level of repayments in the first quarter for these products as we experience with short-term loans and, to a lesser extent, line of credit accounts.
The gross profit margin is generally lower for the installment loan product than for other loan products, primarily because the highest levels of default are exhibited in the early stages of the loan, while revenue is recognized over the term of the loan. In addition, installment loans and RPAs typically have higher average origination amounts. Another factor contributing to the lower gross profit margin is that the product yield for installment loans and RPAs is typically lower than the yield for the other financing products we offer. As a result, particularly in periods of higher growth for the installment loan and RPA portfolios, particularly our near-prime customer base, which has been the case in recent years, the gross profit margin is typically lower for this product than for our short-term loan and line of credit products. Our average installment combined loan and RPA portfolio balance outstanding at June 30, 2017 increased 18.7% in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. During the current quarter, we experienced a lower gross profit margin than we experienced in the prior year quarter as a result of the growth in our domestic near-prime installment portfolio and RPAs.

Total Expenses
Total expenses decreased $3.5 million, or 4.4%, to $74.8 million in the current quarter, compared to $78.3 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, total expenses decreased $2.7 million, or 3.4%, for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
Marketing expense decreased to $23.4 million in the current quarter compared to $25.6 million in the prior year quarter. Lower online marketing costs were partially offset by higher direct mail costs and lead expenses.
Operations and technology expense increased to $21.8 million in the current quarter compared to $21.0 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher headcount costs in our call center and underwriting and transaction expenses were partially offset by lower selling expenses and computer and software costs.
General and administrative expense decreased $1.3 million, or 4.6%, to $26.2 million in the current quarter compared to $27.5 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower third-party consulting expenses and higher capitalized wages on internally developed software in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
47
Depreciation and amortization expense decrea sed $0.8 million, or 20.4%, in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the acceleration of depreciation in the prior year quarter resulting from our exit from the Australian and Canadian markets.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased $1.0 million, or 6.2%, to $17.0 million in the current quarter compared to $16.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding, which increased $46.1 million to $634.7 million during the current quarter from $588.6 million during the prior year quarter, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 10.65% during the current quarter from 11.03% during the prior year quarter.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $1.3 million, or 26.0%, to $6.4 million in the current quarter compared to $5.1 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a 37.7% increase in income before income taxes partially offset by a decrease in the effective tax rate to 35.0% in the current quarter from 38.2% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the current quarter is mainly due to an adjustment related to the excess tax benefit for share-based compensation.
As of June 30, 2017, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $562 thousand ($529 thousand net of the federal benefit of state matters), all of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in any future periods. We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2016. We do not believe it is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, unrecognized domestic tax benefits will change by a significant amount. We record interest and penalties related to tax matters as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of income.
Our U.S. tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The IRS audits for tax years 2011 through 2014 were concluded with no adjustments to the financial statements. The 2015 tax year is open to examination by the IRS. The years open to examination by state, local, and foreign government authorities vary by jurisdiction, but the statute of limitation is generally three to four years from the date the tax return is filed.
Net Income
Net income increased $3.7 million, or 45.0%, to $11.9 million during the current quarter compared to $8.2 million during the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit driven primarily by an additional contribution of $6.9 million from our domestic line of credit product and lower expenses in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
Revenue and Gross Profit
Revenue increased $35.0 million, or 10.1%, to $382.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, or current six-month period, as compared to $347.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, or prior year six-month period. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by $41.2 million, or 11.9%, for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period. Our domestic operations contributed an increase of $39.0 million, resulting from a 19.6% increase in line of credit revenue and a 14.3% increase in domestic installment loan and RPA revenue in the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period primarily driven by growth in our line of credit account and near-prime installment products. The increase in revenue from domestic operations was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from international operations of $4.0 million (an increase of $2.2 million on a constant currency basis).
Our gross profit increased by $8.2 million to $220.4 million for the current six-month period from $212.2 million for the prior year six-month period. On a constant currency basis, gross profit increased by $13.3 million for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period. Our consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 57.7% for the current six-month period, from 61.1% for the prior year six-month period. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by the strong new customer growth of our domestic short-term consumer loan, installment loan and RPA portfolios resulting in a higher mix of those products in the total portfolio, higher mix of new customers overall which requires higher loss provisions as new customers default at a higher rate than returning customers with a successful history of loan performance, and the wind-down of the U.K. line of credit product. Gross profit from the discontinued U.K. line of credit product decreased $2.3 million for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period. Excluding that discontinued product, our consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 57.4% for the current six-month period from 60.2% for the prior year six-month period. See “—Recent Regulatory Developments—Financial Conduct Authority” above for further information. Management expects the consolidated gross profit margin will continue to be influenced by
48
the mix of loans to new and returning customers, the mix of lower yielding and higher yielding loan products , and loan originations for our U.K. operations and near-prime products.
The following tables set forth the components of revenue and gross profit, separated by product and between domestic and international for the current six-month period and the prior year six-month period (in thousands):

The average loan origination amount decreased to $502 from $513 during the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period, mainly due to a decrease in the size of average installment loan originations.
Loans and Finance Receivables Loss Experience
The allowance and liability for estimated losses as a percentage of combined loans and RPAs remained flat at 12.7% as of June 30, 2017 and 2016.
The cost of revenue in the current six-month period was $161.8 million, which was composed of $161.8 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables. The cost of revenue in the prior year six-month period was $135.0 million, which was composed of $134.9 million related to Company-owned loans and finance receivables and $0.1 million related to loans we guaranteed through the CSO programs. Total charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $177.6 million and $128.6 million in the current six-month period and the prior year six-month period, respectively.
Total Expenses
Total expenses decreased $4.4 million, or 2.9%, to $147.1 million in the current six-month period, compared to $151.5 million in the prior year six-month period. On a constant currency basis, total expenses decreased $2.8 million, or 1.8%, for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period.
Marketing expense decreased to $43.0 million in the current six-month period compared to $46.8 million in the prior year six-month period. Lower online and traditional marketing costs were partially offset by higher lead generation costs and direct mail costs.
Operations and technology expense increased to $45.3 million in the current six-month period compared to $41.1 million in the prior year six-month period, primarily due to higher personnel expenses, underwriting and transaction costs and software costs primarily related to our domestic operations.
General and administrative expense decreased $3.5 million, or 6.3%, to $51.9 million in the current six-month period compared to $55.4 million in the prior year six-month period, primarily due to lower consulting expenses related to various initiatives that were completed in the prior year and lower third-party legal and compliance costs associated with the regulatory changes in the United Kingdom .
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.3 million, or 16.5%, in the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period, primarily due to the acceleration of depreciation in the prior year six-month period resulting from our exit from the Australian and Canadian markets.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased $2.3 million, or 7.2%, to $34.2 million in the current six-month period compared to $31.9 million in the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding, which increased $45.0 million to $636.6 million during the current six-month period from $591.6 million during the prior year six-month period, partially offset by a slight decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 10.72% during the current six-month period from 10.92% during the prior year six-month period.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $0.9 million, or 7.1%, to $13.6 million in the current six-month period compared to $12.7 million in the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily due to a 27.9% increase in income before income taxes and a decrease in the effective tax rate to 34.6% in the current six-month period from 41.3% in the prior year six-month period. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the current six-month period is mainly due to an adjustment related to share based compensation deferred tax that occurred in the prior year six-month period.
50
Net Income
Net income increased $7.7 million, or 42.5%, to $25.8 million during the current six-month period compared to $18.1 million during the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit driven primarily by an additional contribution of $15.4 million from our domestic line of credit product and lower expenses in the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Funding Strategy
Historically, we have generated significant cash flow through normal operating activities for funding both long-term and short-term needs. Our near-term liquidity is managed to ensure that adequate resources are available to fund our seasonal working capital growth, which is driven by demand for our loan and financing products, and to meet the continued growth in the demand for our near-prime installment products. On May 30, 2014, we issued and sold $500.0 million in senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”). On June 30, 2017, we entered into an asset-backed secured revolving credit agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) which replaced our previous credit agreement (the “2014 Credit Agreement”) that was terminated on June 30, 2017, as further described below under “Revolving Credit Facilities.” As of August 1, 2017, our available borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement were $24.0 million. On January 15, 2016 and December 1, 2016, we entered into the 2016-1 and 2016‑2 Securitization Facilities, respectively, as further described below. As of August 1, 2017, the outstanding balance under our securitization facilities was $139.5 million. We expect that our operating needs, including satisfying our obligations under our debt agreements and funding our working capital growth, will be satisfied by a combination of cash flows from operations, borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement, or any refinancing, replacement thereof or increase in borrowings thereunder, and securitization or sale of loans and finance receivables under our consumer loan securitization facilities.
As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all financial ratios, covenants and other requirements set forth in our debt agreements. Unexpected changes in our financial condition or other unforeseen factors may result in our inability to obtain third-party financing or could increase our borrowing costs in the future. To the extent we experience short-term or long-term funding disruptions, we have the ability to adjust our volume of lending and financing to consumers and small businesses that would reduce cash outflow requirements while increasing cash inflows through repayments. Additional alternatives may include the securitization or sale of assets, increased borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement, or any refinancing or replacement thereof, and reductions in capital spending which could be expected to generate additional liquidity.
Consumer Loan Securitization
2016-1 Facility
On January 15, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (as amended, the “2016-1 Securitization Facility”) with certain purchasers, Jefferies Funding LLC, as administrative agent and Bankers Trust Company, as indenture trustee and securities intermediary. The 2016-1 Securitization Facility securitizes unsecured consumer installment loans (“Receivables”) that have been, or will be, originated or acquired under our NetCredit brand and that meet specified eligibility criteria. Under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility, Receivables are sold to a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary (the “Issuer”) and serviced by another subsidiary.
The Issuer issued an initial term note of $107.4 million (the “Initial Term Note”), which was secured by $134 million in unsecured consumer loans, and variable funding notes (the “Variable Funding Notes”) with an aggregate availability of $20 million per month. As described below, the Issuer has issued and will subsequently issue term notes (the “Term Notes” and, together with the Initial Term Note and the Variable Funding Notes, the “Securitization Notes”). The maximum principal amount of the Securitization Notes that may be outstanding at any time under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility is limited to $175 million.
At the end of each month during the nine-month revolving period, the Receivables funded by the Variable Funding Notes will be refinanced through the creation of two Term Notes, which Term Notes will be issued to the holders of the Variable Funding Notes. The non-recourse Securitization Notes mature at various dates, the latest of which will be October 15, 2020 (the “Final Maturity Date”). The 2016-1 Securitization Facility has been amended to extend the revolving period to October 2017 and the latest maturity to October 2021, as discussed below.
The Securitization Notes are issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 15, 2016 (the “Closing Date”). The Securitization Notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate (subject to a floor of 1%) plus 7.75%, which rate is initially 8.75%. In addition, the Issuer paid certain customary upfront closing fees and will pay customary annual commitment and other fees to the purchasers under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility. The Issuer is permitted to voluntarily prepay any outstanding Securitization Notes, subject to an optional redemption premium. Interest and principal payments on
51
outstanding Securitization Notes are made monthly. Any remaining amounts outstanding will be payable no later than the Final Maturity Date. The Securitization Notes are supp orted by the cash flows from the underlying Receivables. The holders of the Securitization Notes have no recourse to us if the cash flows from the underlying Receivables are not sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the Securitization Note s unless the underlying Receivables breach the representations and warranties made by us as of the related sale date as described below. Additionally, the Receivables will be held by the Issuer at least until the obligations under the Securitization Notes are satisfied. For so long as the Receivables are owned by the Issuer, the outstanding Receivables will not be available to satisfy our other debts and obligations.
All amounts due under the Securitization Notes are secured by all of the Issuer’s assets, which include the Receivables transferred to the Issuer, related rights under the Receivables, specified bank accounts, and certain other related collateral.
The 2016-1 Securitization Facility documents contain customary provisions for securitizations, including: representations and warranties as to the eligibility of the Receivables and other matters; indemnification for specified losses not including losses due to the inability of consumers to repay their loans; covenants regarding special purpose entity matters and other subjects; and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the Securitization Notes under the 2016-1 Securitization Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, servicer defaults, certain insolvency events, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, failure to maintain the security interest in the receivables, defaults under other material indebtedness and certain regulatory matters.
The agreements evidencing the 2016-1 Facility, all dated as of the Closing Date, include (i) an Indenture between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, (ii) a Note Purchase Agreement among the Issuer, NetCredit Loan Services, LLC (f/k/a Enova Lending Services, LLC), as the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and certain purchasers, and (iii) a Receivables Purchase Agreement between us and Enova Finance 5, LLC. On July 26, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a First Omnibus Amendment (the “First Amendment”) of the 2016-1 Facility that was established on the Closing Date, pursuant to various agreements with certain purchasers, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee. The First Amendment effected a variety of minor technical changes to the Indenture, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the servicing agreement for the 2016-1 Facility. These changes included revised procedures under the Note Purchase Agreement for the disbursement to the Issuer of proceeds from draws under the Variable Funding Notes and clarification of modifications that the servicer is permitted to effect to the terms of the Receivables that have been transferred into the EFR 2016-1 Facility.
On August 17, 2016, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into an Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. This amendment modified an eligibility criterion for Receivables that we sell under the Agreement.
On September 12, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Second Omnibus Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Second Amendment authorized us to include in the 2016-1 Facility Receivables originated by a state-chartered bank and acquired by a subsidiary of us from that bank, and it adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Net Loss Trigger for the Initial Term Note Investment Pool (as such terms are defined in the Indenture), which was the seasoned pool of receivables securitized under the 2016-1 Facility on the Closing Date.
On October 20, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment and Limited Waiver (the “Third Amendment”) to amend the Indenture. The Third Amendment increased the maximum principal amount of the 2016-1 Facility to $275 million, increased the Variable Funding Notes maximum principal amount to $40 million until December 31, 2016, and $30 million thereafter, and extended the term of the facility to October 2017. The Third Amendment also adjusted the Note Interest Rate on Term Notes issued after, and amounts outstanding under the Variable Funding Notes after, the date of the Third Amendment (as such terms are defined in the Indenture). The weighted average interest rate on such adjusted Notes will be 9.5%.
On November 14, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Fourth Amendment adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Delinquency Trigger (as such term is defined in the Indenture), with an effective date of October 31, 2016.
On December 14, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to amend the Indenture and Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Fifth Amendment adjusted the Investment Pool Cumulative Delinquency Trigger (as such term is defined in the Indenture) for the Initial Term Notes, with an effective date of November 30, 2016, expanded the categories of Receivables that could be financed through the 2016-1 Facility and made certain other minor changes. These changes will provide us with additional flexibility under the 2016-1 Facility.
2016-2 Facility
On December 1, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (the “2016-2 Facility”) with Redpoint Capital Asset Funding, LLC, as lender (the “Lender”). The 2016-2 Facility securitizes unsecured consumer installment loans
52
(“Redpoint Receivables”) that have been and will be originated or acquired under our NetCredit brand by several of our subsidiaries (the “Originators”) and that meet specified eligibility criteria, including that the annual percentage rate for each securitized consumer loan is greater than or equal to 90%. Under the 2016-2 Facility, Redpoint Receivables are sold to a whol ly-owned special purpose subsidiary of ours (the “Debtor”) and serviced by another subsidiary of ours.
The Debtor has issued a revolving note with an initial maximum principal balance of $20.0 million (the “Initial Facility Size”), which is required to be secured by $25.0 million in unsecured consumer loans. The Initial Facility Size may be increased under the 2016-2 Facility to $40 million. The 2016-2 Facility is non-recourse to us and matures on December 1, 2019.
The 2016-2 Facility is governed by a loan and security agreement, dated as of December 1, 2016, between the Lender and the Debtor. The 2016-2 Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR (subject to a floor) plus an applicable margin, which rate per annum was initially 12.50%. In addition, the Debtor paid certain customary upfront closing fees to the Lender. Interest payments on the 2016-2 Facility will be made monthly. Subject to certain exceptions, the Debtor is not permitted to prepay the 2016-2 Facility prior to October 1, 2018. Following such date, the Debtor is permitted to voluntarily prepay the 2016-2 Facility without penalty. Any remaining amounts outstanding will be payable no later than December 1, 2019.
All amounts due under the 2016-2 Facility are secured by all of the Debtor’s assets, which include the Redpoint Receivables transferred to the Debtor, related rights under the Redpoint Receivables, a bank account and certain other related collateral.
The 2016-2 Facility documents contain customary provisions for securitizations, including: representations and warranties as to the eligibility of the Redpoint Receivables and other matters; indemnification for specified losses not including losses due to the inability of consumers to repay the related Receivables; and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the 2016-2 Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due certain insolvency events, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, failure to maintain the security interest in the receivables and defaults under other material indebtedness of the Debtor.
Revolving Credit Facilities
2017 Credit Agreement
On June 30, 2017, we and certain of our operating subsidiaries entered into an asset-backed secured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks including TBK Bank, SSB (“TBK”), as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, Jefferies Finance LLC and TBK as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Lead Bookrunners, and Green Bank, N.A., as Lender.
The 2017 Credit Agreement is secured by domestic receivables and replaced the 2014 Credit Agreement (as described below). The borrowing limit in the 2017 Credit Agreement increased to $40 million from $35 million in the 2014 Credit Agreement, and its maturity date is May 1, 2020. We had no outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2017.
The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit line with interest on borrowings under the facility at prime rate plus 1.00%. In addition, the 2017 Credit Agreement provides for payment of a commitment fee calculated with respect to the unused portion of the line, and ranges from 0.30% per annum to 0.50% per annum depending on usage. A portion of the revolving credit facility, up to a maximum of $20 million, is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company had outstanding letters of credit under the 2017 Credit Agreement of $6.0 million as of June 30, 2017. The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for certain prepayment penalties if it is terminated on or before its first and second anniversary date, subject to certain exceptions.
The 2017 Credit Agreement contains certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, the attachment of liens to our property, the amount of dividends and other distributions, fundamental changes to us or our business and certain other of our activities. The 2017 Credit Agreement contains standard financial covenants for a facility of this type based on a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The 2017 Credit Agreement also provides for customary affirmative covenants, including financial reporting requirements, and certain events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults and other customary defaults.
2014 Credit Agreement
On March 25, 2015, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to our revolving credit facility with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent. The amendment reduced our unsecured revolving line of credit to $65.0 million (from $75.0 million) and increased an additional senior secured indebtedness basket to the greater of $20.0 million or 2.75% of consolidated total assets (as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement) (from $15.0 million or 2% of consolidated total assets). In addition, the March 25, 2015 amendment revised certain definitions and provisions relating to limitations on indebtedness, investments, dispositions, fundamental changes and burdensome agreements to allow certain of our foreign subsidiaries, which opt to become guarantors of our obligations under the 2014 Credit Agreement, to be treated as domestic subsidiaries for purposes of those provisions.
53
On December 29, 2015, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an ame ndment to the 2014 Credit Agreement, which temporarily increased our unsecured revolving line of credit to $75.0 million, an increase of $15.0 million ($5.0 million on December 29, 2015 and $10.0 million on January 4, 2016). Once we received the proceeds f rom the 2016-1 Securitization Facility, we repaid the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit in full and, in accordance with the terms of the amendment, the revolving commitment amount was reduced to $40.0 million.
On June 30, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum allowable leverage ratio (as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement) for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016 to 4.00 to 1.00 (from 3.00 to 1.00) and for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 to 3.50 to 1.00 (in each case, from 3.00 to 1.00).
On September 30, 2016, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum allowable leverage ratio (as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement) for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016 and thereafter to 4.25 to 1.00 (from 3.50 to 1.00) and decreased the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit to $35.0 million.
Our 2014 Credit Agreement was terminated on June 30, 2017.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $5.6 million, or 3.1%, to $186.1 million for the current six-month period from $180.5 million for the prior year six-month period. The increase was primarily driven by a $26.7 million increase in cost of revenue, a non-cash expense, during the current six-month period, and a $7.7 million increase in net income.
Other significant changes in net cash provided by operating activities for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period included cash flows from the following activities:
|
• |
changes in finance and service charges on loans and finance receivables resulted in a $13.4 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to strong line of credit and installment loan originations in the second half of 2016; and |
|
• |
changes in deferred income taxes, net resulted in a $10.7 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to the change in the loan loss reserve balances. |
|
• |
changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses resulted in a $24.4 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to lower accrued expense liabilities and a lower fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to a prior acquisition . |
|
• |
changes in current income taxes resulted in a $22.1 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to the prepayment of tax expenses. |
|
• |
changes in other receivables and prepaid expenses resulted in a $6.1 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to prepayment of marketing, computer software and underwriting expenses. |
Management believes cash flows from operations and available cash balances and borrowings under our consumer loan securitization facilities and 2017 Credit Agreement, which may include increased borrowings under our 2017 Credit Agreement, any refinancing or replacement thereof, and additional securitization of consumer loans, will be sufficient to fund our future operating liquidity needs, including to fund our working capital growth.
54
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $57.1 million, or 25.3%, for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period. This decrease was primarily due to a $25.5 million decrease in net cash invested in loans and finance receivables, reflecting a $27.2 million increase in payments received from customers, as well as an increase in the change in restricted cash resulting in a $27.9 million decrease in cash used in investing activities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities for the current six-month period primarily reflects $13.4 million in net repayments under our securitization facilities and $1.8 million of debt issuance costs paid in connection with the 2017 Credit Agreement. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the prior year six-month period primarily reflects $106.8 million in net borrowings under our 2016-1 Securitization Facility, partially offset by $58.4 million of net repayments under our unsecured revolving line of credit under the Credit Agreement and $3.3 million of debt issuance costs paid in connection with the consumer loan securitization financing transactions.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In certain markets, we arrange for consumers to obtain consumer loan products from independent third-party lenders through our CSO programs. For consumer loan products originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs, each lender is responsible for providing the criteria by which the customer’s application is underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the consumer loan. We are responsible for assessing whether or not we will guarantee such loan. When a customer executes an agreement with us under our CSO programs, we agree, for a fee payable to us by the customer, to provide certain services to the customer, one of which is to guarantee the customer’s obligation to repay the loan received by the customer from the third-party lender if the customer fails to do so. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific loans if they go into default, which generally occurs after one payment is missed. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding amount of active consumer loans originated by third-party lenders under the CSO programs was $28.0 million and $31.2 million, respectively, which were guaranteed by us. The estimated fair value of the liability for estimated losses on consumer loans guaranteed by us of $1.9 million and $1.8 million, as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets. Our CSO programs are further described under the caption “Products and Services” above.
Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks since December 31, 2016.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2017 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide reasonable assurance (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls will prevent or detect all possible misstatements due to error or fraud. Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls are, however, designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
55
See the “Litigation” section of Note 8 of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements of Part I, “Item 1 Financial Statements.”
There have been no material changes from the Risk Factors described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 , except as follows :
The lending and financing industry continues to be targeted by new laws or regulations in many jurisdictions that could restrict the lending and financing products and services we offer, impose additional compliance costs on us, render our current operations unprofitable or even prohibit our current operations.
Governments at the national, state and local levels, as well as international governments, may seek to impose new laws, regulatory restrictions or licensing requirements that affect the products or services we offer, the terms on which we may offer them, and the disclosure, compliance and reporting obligations we must fulfill in connection with our lending and financing business. They may also interpret or enforce existing requirements in new ways that could restrict our ability to continue our current methods of operation or to expand operations, impose significant additional compliance costs, and may have a negative effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In some cases these measures could even directly prohibit some or all of our current business activities in certain jurisdictions, or render them unprofitable and/or impractical to continue.
In recent years, consumer loans, and in particular the category commonly referred to as “payday loans,” which includes certain of our short-term loan products, have come under increased regulatory scrutiny that has resulted in increasingly restrictive regulations and legislation that makes offering such loans in certain states in the United States or the international countries where we operate (as further described below) less profitable or unattractive. Laws or regulations in some states in the United States require that all borrowers of certain short-term loan products be reported to a centralized database and limit the number of loans a borrower may receive or have outstanding. Other laws limit the availability of some of our consumer loan products in the United States to active duty military personnel, active members of the National Guard or members on active reserve duty and their spouses and immediate dependents.
Certain consumer advocacy groups and federal and state legislators and regulators have advocated that laws and regulations should be tightened so as to severely limit, if not eliminate, the type of loan products and services we offer to consumers, and this has resulted in both the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. federal government and state governmental bodies exhibiting an interest in debating legislation that could further regulate consumer loan products and services such as those that we offer. The U.S. Congress, as well as other similar federal, state and local bodies and similar international governmental authorities, have debated, and may in the future adopt, legislation or regulations that could, among other things, place a cap (or decrease a current cap) on the interest or fees that we can charge or a cap on the effective annual percentage rate that limits the amount of interest or fees that may be charged, ban or limit loan renewals or extensions of short-term loans (where the customer agrees to pay the current finance charge on a loan for the right to make payment of the outstanding principal balance of such loan at a later date plus an additional finance charge), including the rates to be charged for loan renewals or extensions, require us to offer an extended payment plan, limit origination fees for loans, require changes to our underwriting or collections practices, require lenders to be bonded or to report consumer loan activity to databases designed to monitor or restrict consumer borrowing activity, impose “cooling off” periods between the time a loan is paid off and another loan is obtained or prohibit us from providing any of our consumer loan products in the United States to active duty military personnel, active members of the National Guard or members on active reserve duty and their spouses and immediate dependents.
The Maryland General Assembly passed House Bill 1270 on March 31, 2017 and Senate Bill 527 on April 10, 2017. The governor of Maryland signed the legislation into law on May 25, 2017. The new law limits the total fees, charges and interest that can be assessed on unsecured revolving credit plans with Maryland consumers to an effective rate of 33% per year. The law went into effect on July 1, 2017 with regard to new revolving credit plans.
We cannot currently assess the likelihood of any future unfavorable federal, state, local or international legislation or regulations being proposed or enacted that could affect our products and services. We closely monitor proposed legislation in jurisdictions where we offer our loan products. Additional legislative or regulatory provisions could be enacted that could severely restrict, prohibit or eliminate our ability to offer a consumer or small business loan or financing product. In addition, under statutory authority, U.S. state regulators have broad discretionary power and may impose new licensing requirements, interpret or enforce existing regulatory requirements in different ways or issue new administrative rules, even if not contained in state statutes, that could adversely affect the
56
way we do business and may force us to terminate or modify our operations in particular states or affect our ability to obtain new licenses or renew the licenses we hold.
Significant new laws and regulations have also been adopted in the United Kingdom, and further new laws and regulations will continue to be imposed. See “— The United Kingdom has imposed, and continues to impose, increased regulation of the short-term high-cost credit industry with the stated expectation that some firms will exit the market” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 for additional information. Furthermore, legislative or regulatory actions may be influenced by negative perceptions of us and our industry, even if such negative perceptions are inaccurate, attributable to conduct by third parties not affiliated with us (such as other industry members), or attributable to matters not specific to our industry.
Any of these or other legislative or regulatory actions that affect our lending and financing business at the national, state, international and local level could, if enacted or interpreted differently, have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and could prohibit or directly or indirectly impair our ability to continue current operations.
Judicial decisions, CFPB rule-making or amendments to the Federal Arbitration Act could render the arbitration agreements we use illegal or unenforceable.
We include arbitration provisions in our consumer and business loan and financing agreements. These provisions are designed to allow us to resolve any customer disputes through individual arbitration rather than in court and explicitly provide that all arbitrations will be conducted on an individual and not on a class basis. Thus, our arbitration agreements, if enforced, have the effect of shielding us from class action liability. Our arbitration agreements do not generally have any impact on regulatory enforcement proceedings. We take the position that the arbitration provisions in loan and financing agreements, including class action waivers, are valid and enforceable; however, the enforceability of arbitration provisions is often challenged in court. If those challenges are successful, our arbitration and class action waiver provisions could be unenforceable, which could subject us to additional litigation, including additional class action litigation.
In addition, the U.S. Congress has considered legislation that would generally limit or prohibit mandatory arbitration agreements in consumer contracts and has enacted legislation with such a prohibition with respect to certain mortgage loan agreements and also certain consumer loan agreements to members of the military on active duty and their dependents. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act directed the CFPB to study consumer arbitration and report to the U.S. Congress, and it authorized the CFPB to adopt rules limiting or prohibiting consumer arbitration, consistent with the results of its study.
On July 10, 2017, the CFPB issued its final rule on arbitration. The rule prohibits class action waivers in certain consumer financial services contracts and requires financial services providers to submit certain records to the CFPB if arbitration is used to resolve disputes with consumers. The rule will apply to contracts entered into beginning on March 19, 2018 (and will not apply to prior contracts with class action waivers or arbitration agreements unless such accounts or debts are sold after that date). However, under the Congressional Review Act, Congress has 60 legislative days after publication of the rule in the Federal Register (which occurred on July 19, 2017) to strike it down by a majority vote in both Houses of Congress. We cannot currently assess the likelihood of the rule becoming effective. As a result, it is not currently possible to predict the ultimate scope, extent, nature, timing or effect of any rule eventually made effective. We cannot give any assurances that the effect of the final rule if made effective will not have a material impact on our U.S. products and services.
Any judicial decisions, legislation or other rules or regulations that impair our ability to enter into and enforce consumer arbitration agreements and class action waivers will increase our exposure to class action litigation as well as litigation in plaintiff-friendly jurisdictions, which would be costly and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or before the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that this Section 2.3(c) shall not prevent any LC Issuer from agreeing that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each (and, in any case, not to extend beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) unless each such LC Issuer elects not to extend for any such additional period.
(d) Participations . By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the LC Issuer or the Lenders, the LC Issuer hereby irrevocably grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the LC Issuer, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the LC Issuer and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.3(e) , or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.3(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 4.2 to be satisfied, or the reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (so long as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment).
(i) If the LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the LC Issuer an amount equal to such LC Disbursement within 1 Business Day after notice from the LC Issuer that such LC Disbursement has been made; provided that, if the Borrowers do not receive such notice at least 2 hours prior to the deadline for requesting Credit Extensions in the form of Revolving Loans, then the Borrowers shall have an additional Business Day to satisfy such reimbursement obligation; provided that the Borrower Representative may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3(b) that such payment be financed with Revolving Loans based on the Alternate Base Rate in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loans based on the Alternate Base Rate.
(ii) If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due and the amount is not financed pursuant to the proviso to Section 2.3(e)(i) the LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC
41
Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof (expressed in Dollars) and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement (the “ Unreimbursed Amount ”) in the same manner as provided in Section 2.1 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the LC Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the LC Issuer any amounts received by it from the Borrowers pursuant to clause (i) above before the time that any Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower after the receipt by the LC Issuer of an amount of immediately available funds equal to 100% of all LC Disbursements that were otherwise unreimbursed will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the LC Issuer, as appropriate. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the LC Issuer for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan, shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement and shall be made in Dollars.
(iii) If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Applicable Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, the Borrowers and such Revolving Lender severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the LC Issuer at (A) in the case of the Borrowers, the Default Rate and (B) in the case of such Lender, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.
(f) Obligations Absolute .

42
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the LC Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the LC Issuer from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, exemplary, special, punitive or other indirect damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the LC Issuer’s bad faith or failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the LC Issuer (as determined by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), the LC Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer 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. The LC Issuer shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement.

The LC Issuer may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Credit Party) and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel or experts.
(g) Disbursement Procedures . The LC Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The LC Issuer shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers of such demand for payment and whether the LC Issuer has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Issuer and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i) .
(h) Interim Interest . If the LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date specified in Section 2.3(e) , the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the Default Rate. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.3(h) shall be for the account of the LC Issuer, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.3(e) to reimburse the LC Issuer shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Cash Collateralization . If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.3(i) , the Borrowers shall deposit in the LC Account, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 102% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due
43
and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event. Funds in the LC Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the LC Issuer for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount plus any accrued interest with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within five Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(j) Additional LC Issuers . The Borrower Representative may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an LC Issuer under the terms of this Agreement, with the consent of each of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the LC Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Revolving Lender(s). Any Revolving Lender designated as an LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.3(j) shall be deemed (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) to be the LC Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Revolving Lender, and all references herein and in the other Credit Documents to the term “LC Issuer” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Revolving Lender in its capacity as LC Issuer, as the context shall require.
(k) Reporting . Each LC Issuer will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each calendar month, the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding calendar month (and on such other dates as the Administrative Agent may request), (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such LC Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or amendment, and the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and such LC Issuer shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such LC Issuer makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrowers fail to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such LC Issuer on such day, the date and amount of such failure.
(l) Resignation or Removal of the LC Issuer . Any LC Issuer may resign as LC Issuer hereunder at any time upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower Representative (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor LC Issuer; provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if a Payment Event of Default or a Bankruptcy Event has occurred and is continuing. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 10 days after the retiring LC Issuer gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring LC Issuer may, on behalf of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, appoint a successor LC Issuer which shall be (i) a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, or an Affiliate of any such institution, or (ii) another entity satisfactory to the Required Lenders and the Borrowers; provided that no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the LC Issuer or any such additional LC Issuer. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.4(c) . From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuer, and the retiring LC Issuer shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Credit Documents (if not
44
already discharged therefrom as provided in this Section 2.3 ), (ii) the successor LC Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the retiring LC Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit and (iii) references herein and in the other Credit Documents to the term “LC Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous LC Issuer, or to such successor or such addition and all previous LC Issuers, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an LC Issuer hereunder, the replaced LC Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it before such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. If at any time there is more than one LC Issuer hereunder, the Borrower Representative may, in its discretion, select which LC Issuer is to issue any particular Letter of Credit. Without limiting the foregoing or any obligation of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.3(d) or (e) , in the event no such successor has been appointed at the end of such 10-day period in accordance with this Section 2.3 , (i) the LC Issuer may notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has either been appointed or accepted such appointment, and that such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and the retiring LC Issuer shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (including the duty and obligation to issue any additional Letters of Credit after the giving of such notice) and under the other Credit Documents and (ii) the LC Issuer shall be entitled to apply cash collateral, if any, that was deposited in the LC Account in accordance with Section 2.3(i) in an amount in cash up to 102% of the LC Exposure of the retiring LC Issuer as of such date (or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the retiring LC Issuer) to be held by the retiring LC Issuer in an account specified by the retiring LC Issuer as collateral for the payment and performance obligations arising under such Letters of Credit and the retiring LC Issuer shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.
(m) Other . The LC Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(i) any order of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the LC Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the LC Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the LC Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the LC Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the LC Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the LC Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the LC Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the LC Issuer deems material to it;
(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of general application of the LC Issuer;
(iii) except as otherwise agreed by the LC Issuer in its sole discretion, the Letter of Credit (x) is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or (y) is a commercial letter of credit; or
(iv) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Borrowers have complied with the requirements of Section 2.20 .
The LC Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the LC Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms
45
hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(a) Commitment Fee . Subject to Section 2.20 , in consideration of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders, a commitment fee (the “ Commitment Fee ”) in an amount equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage on the average daily unused amount of the Maximum Revolver Amount. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated semi-annually in arrears and accrue from the Effective Date. For purposes of computation of the Commitment Fee, Swingline Loans shall be considered usage of the Maximum Revolver Amount. The Commitment Fee shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on the last Business Day of each December and June.
(b) Administrative Agent Fees . The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees each as described in the Fee Letter.
(c) Letter of Credit Fees . The Borrowers agree to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (subject, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to any restrictions on such payment in Section 2.20(a)(iv) ) a standby Letter of Credit fee (the “ Standby Letter of Credit Fee ”) equal to 2.00% per annum on the undrawn amount of each outstanding standby Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) any LC Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (the “ Fronting Fee ”), which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum (or such other rate per annum as the LC Issuer and Borrowers may agree upon from time to time) on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such LC Issuer’s customary fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued Standby Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued Fronting Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each month, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. Any Fronting Fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be payable within five Business Days after demand therefor. All Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(d) Minimum Usage Fee . At all times when the Revolving Credit Outstanding are less than or equal to ***% of the Revolving Committed Amount (the amount of such deficiency, the “ Minimum Usage ”), the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders, a minimum usage fee (the “ Minimum Usage Fee ”) in an amount equal to (y) the Minimum Usage Percentage multiplied by (z) an amount equal to the average daily Minimum Usage. The Minimum Usage Fee shall be calculated on each anniversary of the Effective Date, annually in arrears, and shall accrue from the Effective Date and each prior anniversary thereof (provided, that, to the extent the Obligations are paid in full prior to the end of any such anniversary, the Minimum Usage Fee shall be payable pro rata only for the number of days that elapse from the first day following the last anniversary
46
date through the date the Obligations are paid in full). For purposes of computation of the Minimum Usage Fee, Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LC Exposure shall be considered usage of the Revolving Committed Amount.
Section 2.5. Commitment Terminations or Reductions.
(a) Voluntary Terminations or Reductions . The Borrowers shall have the right to terminate or permanently reduce the unused portion of the Revolving Committed Amount at any time or from time to time upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent; provided that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings shall exceed the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, as reduced.
(b) Letter of Credit Sublimit . If the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced below the then current Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be reduced by an amount such that the Letter of Credit Sublimit equals the Revolving Committed Amount.
(c) Swingline Committed Amount . If the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced below the then current Swingline Committed Amount, the Swingline Committed Amount shall automatically be reduced by an amount such that the Swingline Committed Amount equals the Revolving Committed Amount.
(d) Maturity Date . The Revolving Commitments the Swingline Commitment and the Letter of Credit Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.
(a) Optional Prepayments and Repayments . The Borrowers shall have the right to repay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans in whole or in part from time to time; provided , however , that each partial prepayment or repayment of (i) Revolving Loans that shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining outstanding principal amount) and (ii) Swingline Loans shall be in a minimum principal Dollar Amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining outstanding principal amount). The Borrower Representative shall give one Business Day’s irrevocable notice of prepayment of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable); provided that, to the extent such prepayment is conditioned on the consummation of a separate transaction, such notice may be conditioned on the closing of such transaction. To the extent the Borrowers elect to repay the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans, amounts prepaid under this Section shall be applied to the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, of the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. All prepayments under this Section shall without premium or penalty other than pursuant to Section 2.6(d) . Interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be payable on any date that a prepayment is made hereunder and include interest accrued to the date of prepayment.
47
(i) Revolving Committed Amount . If at any time after the Effective Date, the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount (any such deficiency, an “Overadvance”), the Borrowers shall within 3 Business Days (unless such results from the consummation of Permitted Receivables Financing, then such mandatory prepayment shall occur on the date of the closing of such Permitted Receivables Financing) prepay the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans or Cash Collateralize LC Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (ii) below); provided , however , if such Overadvance results from the Administrative Agent excluding Eligible Accounts solely based on its Permitted Discretion and based on no other exclusion(s) in clauses (a) through (z) of the definition of Eligible Accounts, or from the Administrative Agent reducing the advance rate pursuant to the definition of “Borrowing Base” and, in either or both cases, such exclusion(s) or reduction to the advance rate results in an Overadvance of at least $10,000,000 or more, then the Borrowers shall have 30 days to prepay the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans or Cash Collateralize LC Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (ii) below) .
(ii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments . All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section shall be applied as follows: (A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to (i), (1) first to outstanding unreimbursed LC Disbursements that have not been funded by the Revolving Lenders, (2) second to the outstanding Swingline Loans, (3) third ratably to the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Disbursements funded by Revolving Lenders and (4) fourth ratably to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit; and (B) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(ii) , (1) first to the Swingline Loans (without a simultaneous corresponding reduction of the Swingline Committed Amount), (2) second ratably to the Revolving Loans and (3) third ratably to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit (without a simultaneous corresponding reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount). All prepayments under this Section shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment, but otherwise without premium or penalty other than pursuant to Section 2.6(b) .
(c) Bank Product Obligations Unaffected . Any repayment or prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligation to continue to make payments under any Bank Product, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such repayment or prepayment, subject to the terms of such Bank Product.
(d) Early Termination Fee : If the Borrower shall voluntarily repay in full and terminate the Revolving Facility and all Revolving Commitments, it shall pay an early termination fee (the “ Early Termination Fee ”) equal to (x) if such voluntary repayment and termination occurs after the Closing Date but on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 2% of the Maximum Revolver Amount, (b) if such voluntary repayment and termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, 1% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and (c) if such voluntary repayment and termination occurs after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, 0% of the Maximum Revolver Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Parent or any of its Affiliates elects to increase the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.19 (and all conditions thereof would have been satisfied) and the Lenders elect not to participate in such Revolving Facility Increase, the Parent may then elect to repay in full and terminate the Revolving Facility and all Revolving Commitments, and provided that the new loan facility replacing the Revolving Facility has a commitment of at least 110% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and is on the same or better terms than the Revolving
48
Facility (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), then and only in such event, the Borrower shall pay 50% of the then applicable Early Termination Fee (if any). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that Revolving Loans which are prepaid without a permanent reduction in the Revolving Commitment shall not be subject to any prepayment premium (including the Early Termination Fee).
Section 2.7. Default Rate and Payment Dates.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a (i) Bankruptcy Event or a Payment Event of Default, the Obligations owing hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall automatically bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the Default Rate and (ii) any Event of Default resulting from a financial reporting requirement or breach of a covenant pursuant to Section 7.1(c) , at the option of the Required Lenders by written notice to the Parent, the Obligations owing hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall automatically bear interest, at a per annum rate which is equal to the Default Rate, in each case from the date of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is waived in accordance with Section 9.1 . Any default interest owing under this (a) shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (x) demand by the Administrative Agent (which demand the Administrative Agent shall make if directed by the Required Lenders) and (y) the Maturity Date.
(b) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand as provided therein.
Section 2.9. Computation of Interest and Fees; Usury.
(a) Interest payable hereunder with respect to any Revolving Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual days elapsed. All other fees, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective.
(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 Borrower Representative, deliver to the Borrowers a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate.
(c) It is the intent of the Lenders and the Credit Parties to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between the Lenders and the Credit Parties are hereby limited by the provisions of this subsection which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, and in no event or contingency (including, but not limited to, prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any Obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under applicable law. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable interest paid to have been in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, then such excess amount shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any
49
amendment or new document. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Loans (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final determination) under applicable law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Borrowers or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Loans. The right to demand payment of the Loans or any other Indebtedness evidenced by any of the Credit Documents does not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that the amount of interest on account of such Indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law.
Section 2.10. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
(a) Allocation of Payments Prior to Exercise of Remedies . Each borrowing of Revolving Loans and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments (other than the reduction of Incremental Commitments pursuant to Section 2.5(a) ) shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Lenders. Unless otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement, each payment under this Agreement shall be applied, first , to any fees then due and owing by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.4 , second , to interest then due and owing hereunder of the Borrowers and, third , to principal then due and owing hereunder and under this Agreement of the Borrowers. Each payment on account of any fees pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing. Each optional repayment and prepayment by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be applied to such Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6(a) hereof. Each mandatory prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied to such Loans, as applicable, on a pro rata basis and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with Section 2.6(b) . All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office specified on Section 9.2 in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date when due. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(b) Allocation of Payments After Exercise of Remedies . Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the exercise of remedies (other than the application of default interest pursuant to Section 2.7 ) by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.2 (or after the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts under the Credit Documents shall automatically become due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Section ), all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents shall be paid over or delivered as follows (irrespective of whether the following costs, expenses, fees, interest, premiums, scheduled periodic payments or Obligations are allowed, permitted or recognized as a claim in any proceeding resulting from the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event):
50
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents;
SECOND, to the payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent;
THIRD, [ Reserved ];
FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest, and including, with respect to any Bank Product, any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under such Bank Product and any interest accrued thereon;
FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations, and including with respect to any Bank Product, any breakage, termination or other payments due under such Bank Product and any interest accrued thereon;
SIXTH, to Cash Collateralize the outstanding LC Obligations;
SEVENTH, to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “SIXTH” above; and
EIGHTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Borrowers or whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing, (a) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category and (b) each of the Lenders and any Bank Product Provider shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans held by such Lender or the outstanding obligations payable to such Bank Product Provider bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans and obligations payable under all Bank Products) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SEVENTH” above. Amounts distributed with respect to any Bank Product Debt shall be the last Bank Product Amount reported to the Administrative Agent; provided that any such Bank Product Provider may provide an updated Bank Product Amount to the Administrative Agent prior to payments made pursuant to this Section. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Bank Product Debt, but may rely upon written notice of the amount (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) from the applicable Bank Product Provider. In the absence of such notice, the Administrative Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is the Bank Product Amount last reported to the Administrative Agent.
Section 2.11. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.
(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent . Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Extension of Credit that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Extension of Credit, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Extension of Credit available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
51
made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the Alternate Base Rate. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Extension of Credit to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Extension of Credit. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(b) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent . Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent . If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Extension of Credit set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof, the Administrative Agent shall return within 1 Business Day following the written request of such Lender such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several . The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.5(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment under Section 9.5(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.5(c) .
(e) Funding Source . Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
Section 2.13. Yield Protection.
(a) Increased Costs Generally . If any Change in Law shall:
52
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;
(ii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document to any (or any increase in any) Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Credit Document or any participation in any Loan; or
(iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Administrative Agent, Lender or other recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Administrative Agent, Lender, or other recipient and delivery of appropriate supporting information to the Borrowers as provided in (c), the Borrowers will pay to such Administrative Agent, Lender or other recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Administrative Agent, Lender or other recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital and Liquidity Requirements . If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity coverage), then, upon request of such Administrative Agent, from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement . A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, together with supporting information in reasonable detail, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender fails to make a demand for such compensation within six (6) months after becoming aware of such Change in Law giving arise to such increased costs or reductions.
53
(a) Payments Free of Taxes . Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section ) the Administrative Agent, Lender (or each of its beneficial owners) or other recipient, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers . The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers . The Credit Parties shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender (or its beneficial owners) or such other recipient, and any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent . Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any (i) Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and 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 Credit Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).
(e) Evidence of Payments . As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15 , such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f) Status of Lenders . Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative
54
or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.15(f)(i) , 2.15(f)(ii) (A) - (D) , and Section 2.15(f)(iv) below) 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.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(i) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;
(ii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(B) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;
(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “ bank ” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “ 10 percent shareholder ” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “ controlled foreign corporation ” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “ U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; or, as applicable, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E; and
55
(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, (or, as applicable, W-8BEN-E), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or
(iii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(iv) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails 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 such Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds . If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including additional amounts paid by any Credit Party pursuant to this Section 2.15 ), 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 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender 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 the indemnified party, shall repay such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.15(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 paragraph (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to
56
an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (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 giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts in respect of such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require or 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) Defined Terms . For purposes of this Section 2.15 , the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(i) Survival .

Section 2.18. Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office . If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 , or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17 , then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.15 or 2.17 , as the case may be, in the future and (B) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders . If (A) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 or 2.17 , (B) the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 (and, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), the Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.18(a) ), (C) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (D) any Lender fails to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof or of any other Credit Document that requires the unanimous approval of all of the Lenders, the approval of all of the Lenders affected thereby or the approval of a class of Lenders, in each case in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 , so long as the consent of the Required Lenders or such other required class of Lenders shall have been obtained with respect to such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.6 ), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.15 or 2.17 ) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
57
(ii) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.6 ;
(iii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or 2.17 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15 , such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(v) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(i) Waivers and Amendments . Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 9.1 .
(ii) Reallocation of Payments . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
59
Lender to any Swingline Lender or LC Issuer hereunder; third, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, to Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Interests in Letters of Credit; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Revolving Lenders, the LC Issuer or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, LC Issuer or Swingline Lenders against that Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(A) Commitment Fees . (1) No Commitment Fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (2) any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure . All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall automatically (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Committed Funded Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.
(v) Repayment of Swingline Loans and Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit . If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Law, (A) prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (B) Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure . If the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender, each LC Issuer and each Revolving Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion (acting reasonably) that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the
60
Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to (a)(iv) of this Section 2.20 , whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided , further , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c) Termination of Impacted Lenders . The Borrowers may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender that is an Impacted Lender upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of (a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Impacted Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, the Swingline Bank or any Lender may have against such Impacted Lender.
Section 2.21. Extension of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments.
(a) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments and/or the Extended Revolving Commitments (and, in each case, including any previously extended Revolving Credit Commitments), existing at the time of such request (each, an “ Existing Revolving Commitment ” and any related revolving credit loans under any such facility, “ Existing Revolving Loans ”; each Existing Revolving Commitment and related Existing Revolving Loans together being referred to as an “ Existing Revolving Class ”) be converted or exchanged to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Revolving Loans related to such Existing Revolving Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “ Extended Revolving Commitments ” and any related revolving credit loans, “ Extended Revolving Loans ”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.21 . Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower Representative shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Revolving Commitments, with such request offered equally to all Lenders on a pro rata basis and subject to other procedures established by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) (a “ Revolving Extension Request ”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “ Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class ”) except that (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class, (x)(A) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment premiums with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than those for the Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the
61
preceding clause (A) and (y)(A) [ Reserved ] and (B) [ Reserved ]; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.21 or otherwise, (I) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of the Extended Revolving Loans under any Extended Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Existing Revolving Loans of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Agreement and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class), (II) and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the assignment and participation provisions set forth herein and (III) permanent repayments of Extended Revolving Loans (and corresponding permanent reduction in the related Extended Revolving Commitments) shall be permitted as may be agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders thereof. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments of any Existing Revolving Class converted or exchanged into Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Commitments of any Extended Revolving Loans shall constitute a separate class of Revolving Commitments from Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class and from any other Existing Revolving Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Commitments so established on such date), affecting only those Lenders party to the related Extension Agreement.
(b) Extended Revolving Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “ Extension Agreement ”) to this Agreement (which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.1 , shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Revolving Loans and Extending Revolving Commitments established thereby, and in which case shall require the consent of all such Extending Lenders directly or adversely affected thereby) executed by the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Revolving Commitment is converted or exchanged to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraph (a) above (an “ Extension Date ”), in the case of the Existing Revolving Commitments of each Extending Lender under any Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Revolving Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Commitments so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date (plus any fees, expenses, costs, taxes, premiums or discounts associated therewith), and such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class and from any other Existing Revolving Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Existing Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class, such Existing Revolving Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be converted or exchanged to Extended Revolving Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as, and solely to the extent of, such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Revolving Commitments to Extended Revolving Commitments.

Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) (the “ Cure Period ”), the Borrowers shall have the right (the “ Cure Right ”) to give written notice (the “ Cure Notice ”) to the Administrative Agent of its intent to issue Capital Stock (that is not Redeemable Stock) for cash or otherwise receive cash capital contributions in respect of Capital Stock in an amount that, if added to EBITDA for the relevant testing period, would have been sufficient to cause compliance with the Financial Covenants for such period (an “ Equity Cure ”) (for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.3 shall prevent the Borrowers from issuing Capital Stock for cash in an aggregate amount in excess of the amount sufficient to cause compliance with the Financial Covenants) (the “ Specified Equity Contribution ”); provided that:
(i) the Borrowers shall not be entitled to exercise the Equity Cure any more than four times prior to the Maturity Date and in each four consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be a period of at least two fiscal quarters in which no Equity Cure shall have been made;
(ii) if after the exercise of the Cure Right, the recalculation of the Financial Covenants are such that the Parent and its Subsidiaries (including its Restricted Subsidiaries) are in compliance with the Financial Covenants, then, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist pursuant to the Financial Covenants (and any such Default or Event of Default shall be retroactively considered not to have existed or occurred); provided, that, it is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will not be permitted to take any enforcement actions or engage in any other remedies during the Cure Period due solely to a breach of the Financial Covenants. If the Equity Cure is not consummated within 10 Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to applicable fiscal quarter under Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) , each such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed reinstated;
(iii) the cash amount received by a Borrower pursuant to exercise of the right to make an Equity Cure shall be added to EBITDA for the last quarter of the immediately preceding testing period solely for purposes of recalculating compliance with the Financial Covenants for such period and of calculating the Financial Covenants as of the end of the next three following periods; provided , however , for the avoidance of doubt, such cash amount shall not be netted pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Adjusted Funded Debt with respect to the fiscal quarter for which such Equity Cure is made. The Equity Cure shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the Financial Covenants, or any other financial ratio, in order to determine pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenants, or any other financial ratio, for purposes of the incurrence of any Indebtedness or the undertaking of any Permitted Acquisition, or for purposes of calculating any baskets or compliance with any other covenants or for any other purpose hereunder; and
(iv) for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenants, the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no more than the amount required to cause the Borrowers to be in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenants.

Section 8.2. Nature of Duties.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender, an LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as Administrative Agent.
Section 8.3. Exculpatory Provisions.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law; and
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.1 and Section 7.2 ) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
95
Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
Section 8.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 8.5. Notice of Default.
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower Representative referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “ notice of default ”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided , however , that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as the case may be.
Section 8.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in
96
taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Swingline Lender in its capacity hereunder and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the Transactions or any action taken or omitted by any such indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided , however , 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 to the extent resulting from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 8.8. Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Section 8.9. Successor Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Borrowers if Payment Event of Default or Bankruptcy Event then exists (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States (in each case, other than a Disqualified Institution). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that, if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a
97
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Any resignation by TBK Bank, SSB, as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Revolving Lender, LC Issuer and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Revolving Lender, LC Issuer and Swingline Lender, and (b) the retiring Revolving Lender, LC Issuer and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents.
Section 8.10. Guaranty and Collateral Matters.
(a) The Lenders and the Bank Product Provider irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, automatically release any Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty upon the payment in full of the Obligations or if such Person ceases to be a Credit Party or a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of an action or transaction permitted hereunder . In connection with such release, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party, at the Borrowers’ expense, all documents that the applicable Credit Party shall reasonably request to evidence such release. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section.
(b) Upon the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral (including, without limitation, for the avoidance of doubt, any Permitted Securitization Assets pursuant to a Permitted Receivables Facility permitted hereunder) of any Credit Party or a Restricted Subsidiary (including, without limitation, as a result of the sale, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, of a Credit Party or Restricted Subsidiary that owns such Collateral but excluding Dispositions among Credit Parties) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, the security interest created in such item of Collateral under the Credit Documents shall be automatically released and the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to such Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party or Restricted Subsidiary may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Credit Documents in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and, if applicable, the release of such Credit Party or Restricted Subsidiary from its obligations under the Guaranty and the Security Agreement. Upon the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably required by the Borrowers, at the expense of the Borrowers, to release the Liens and the Guaranty created by the Credit Documents.
98
No Bank Product Provider that obtains the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 7.2 or of any Guaranty shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Bank Products unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice (including, without limitation, a Bank Product Provider Notice) of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Bank Product Provider.

(viii) without the consent of Lenders holding at least a majority of the outstanding Revolving Commitments and the Borrowers, amend, modify or waive any provision in Section 4.2 or waive any Default or Event of Default (or amend any Credit Document to effectively waive any Default or Event of Default) if the effect of such amendment, modification or waiver is that the Revolving Lenders shall be required to fund Revolving Loans when such Lenders would otherwise not be required to do so; or
(ix) amend, modify or waive (A) the order in which Obligations are paid or (B) the pro rata sharing of payments by and among the Lenders, in each case in accordance with Section 2.10(b) or 9.7(b) without the written consent of each Lender and each Bank Product Provider directly affected thereby (but not the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers; or

(xiii) the consent of only the Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Facility holding at least 66-2/3% of the Revolving Commitments and outstanding exposure under the Revolving Commitments and the Borrowers will be required for amendments and waivers consummated to (i) increase advance rates in the Borrowing Base and (ii) otherwise change the definition of “Borrowing Base” and the component definitions thereof to the extent the effect of such amendment would increase the Availability hereunder;

In the case of any waiver, the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans and Notes and other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right as a consequence of any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default.

The Credit Parties consent to the publication by Administrative Agent or any Lender of customary advertising material relating to the Transactions using the name, product photographs, logo or trademark of the Credit Parties (subject to reasonable quality control standards and prior approval by such Credit Parties). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9.22 shall limit or restrict the right of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party to make any public disclosure or name the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates as may be required under the Exchange Act, in each case without any notice to or consultation with the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
Section 9.23. Appointment of Borrower Representative.
Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “ Borrower Representative ”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Borrower Representative (a) to provide the Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and any notice or instruction provided by Borrower Representative shall be deemed to be given by Borrowers hereunder and shall bind each Borrower), (b) to receive notices and instructions from the Lenders (and any notice or instruction provided by any Lender to the Borrower Representative in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been given to each Borrower), and (c) to take such action as the Borrower Representative deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
Section 9.24. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.
In connection with all aspects of each Transaction, each of the Credit Parties acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Credit Parties and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Credit Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the Transactions and by the other Credit Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and each Lender
114
each is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any Credit Party or any of their Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (c) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party with respect to any of the Transactions or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender has advised or is currently advising any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to any Credit Party or any of their Affiliates with respect to the Transactions except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; (d) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (e) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the Transactions (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) and the Credit Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Credit Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
Section 9.25. Responsible Officers and Authorized Officers.
The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders are authorized to rely upon the continuing authority of the Responsible Officers with respect to all matters pertaining to the Credit Documents including, but not limited to, the selection of interest rates, the submission of requests for Extensions of Credit and certificates with regard thereto. Such authorization may be changed only upon written notice to Administrative Agent accompanied by evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, of the authority of the Person giving such notice.
Section 9.26. Entire Agreement.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES PERTAINING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and any Bank Product Provider to enter into any Bank Product and to extend credit hereunder and thereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the Extensions of Credit hereunder and any Bank Product, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Bank Product Provider as follows: each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all Obligations. If any or all of the Obligations becomes due and payable hereunder or under any Bank Product, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such Obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Bank Product Providers, or their
115
respective order, on demand, together with any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Obligations. The Guaranty set forth in this Article X is a guaranty of timely payment and not of collection.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).
Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally the payment of any and all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders and any Bank Product Provider whether or not due or payable by the Borrowers upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event and unconditionally promises to pay such Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and to any such Bank Product Provider, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that a Borrower or a Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any Property to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Bank Product Provider, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to a Borrower or a Guarantor, the estate of a Borrower or a Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.
Section 10.3. Nature of Liability.
The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any other guaranty of the Obligations of the Borrowers whether executed by any such Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrowers or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations of the Borrowers, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrowers, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Bank Product Provider on the Obligations which the Administrative Agent, such Lenders or such Bank Product Provider repay the Borrowers pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.
Section 10.4. Independent Obligation.
The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or the Borrowers, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or the Borrowers and whether or not any other Guarantor or a Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.
116
Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Bank Product Provider without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement and any Bank Product, as applicable, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon and (b) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, the Borrowers or other obligors.
It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Bank Product Provider to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrowers or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
(a) Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Bank Product Provider to (i) proceed against a Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (ii) pursue any other remedy of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Bank Product Provider. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of a Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of all Obligations outstanding (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made or cannot be reasonably identified by an Indemnitee based on the then-known facts and circumstances), including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of a Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of a Borrower other than payment in full of all Obligations outstanding (other than contingent indemnification obligations). The Administrative Agent may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against a Borrower or any other party without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the Commitments have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against a Borrower or any other party.
(b) Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.
(c) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will subordinate any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders or any Bank Product Provider against a Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations of a Borrower owing to the Lenders or such Bank Product Provider (collectively, the “ Other Parties ”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time
117
otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty until such time as the Obligations shall have been paid in full. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Bank Product Provider now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations of a Borrower until such time as the Obligations shall have been paid in full.
Section 10.8. Limitation on Enforcement.
The Lenders and the Bank Product Providers agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or such Bank Product Provider (only with respect to obligations under the applicable Bank Product) and that no Lender or Bank Product Provider shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the terms of this Agreement and for the benefit of any Bank Product Provider under any Bank Product.
Section 10.9. Confirmation of Payment.
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon request after payment of the Obligations which are the subject of this Guaranty and termination of the Commitments relating thereto, confirm to the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any other Person that such Indebtedness and obligations have been paid and the Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 .
Section 10.10. Eligible Contract Participant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document, no Guarantor shall be deemed under this Article X to be a guarantor of any Swap Obligations if such Guarantor was not an “eligible contract participant” as defined in § 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, at the time the guarantee under this Article X becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation and to the extent that the providing of such guarantee by such Guarantor would violate the Commodity Exchange Act; provided , however , that in determining whether any Guarantor is an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act, the guarantee of the Credit Party Obligations of such Guarantor under this Article X by a Guarantor that is also a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be taken into account.
Without limiting anything in this Article X, each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time to each Guarantor that is not an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act at the time the guarantee under this Article X becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, to honor all of the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Article X in respect of such Swap Obligations ( provided , however , that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its undertaking under this Section 10.11 , or otherwise under this Article X, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The undertaking of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.11 shall remain in full force and effect until termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and other Credit Party Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.11 constitute, and this Section 10.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each Guarantor that would otherwise not constitute an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act.
118
Section 10.12. Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.
(a) Joint and Several Liability . Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the other Lenders, the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements of each other Borrower under the Credit Documents. Each Borrower agrees that its guarantee of the Obligations as a Borrower hereunder constitutes a continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection, that such guarantee shall not be discharged until payment in full of the Obligations, and that such guarantee is absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Credit Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Borrower is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 10.12 ) or any other Credit Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guarantee for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guarantee); (d) the insolvency of any other Borrower; (e) any election by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of the Administrative Agent, or any Lender against any other Borrower for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except payment in full of all Obligations.
(b) Waivers .
(i) Each Borrower hereby expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any applicable law, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel the Administrative Agent or any Lender to marshal assets or to proceed against any other Borrower, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than the payment in full of all Obligations, and waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any right to revoke any guaranty of the Obligations. It is agreed among each Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders that the provisions of this Section 10.12 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Documents and that, but for such provisions, Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, Swingline Lender and the Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guarantee pursuant to this Section 10.12 is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.
(ii) Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, pursue such rights and remedies in accordance with the Credit Documents and/or applicable Law as it deems appropriate, including realization upon the Collateral of the Borrowers by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 10.12 , and such rights and remedies under this Section 10.12 shall also not be affected by any other valid exercise of rights and remedies by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any applicable Law
119
pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s right of subrogation against any other Person. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations, in whole or in part, at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 10.12 , notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Administrative Agent might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
(c) Joint Enterprise . Each Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and the other Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage. Borrowers acknowledge that Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.
(d) Subordination . Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Borrower, howsoever arising, to the payment in full of all Obligations.
