Specified Tax Refund shall be excluded for all purposes of this
definition.

THE
LOANS
Section
2.01 Commitments. (a) Subject to
the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties
herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of the
Term Loan to the Borrowers on the Effective Date, in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed the amount of such Lender's Term Loan
Commitment.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan made on the
Effective Date shall not exceed the lower of (i) the Total Commitment and (ii)
the Specified M&E and RE Amount. Any principal amount of the Term
Loan which is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
Section
2.02 Making
the Term Loan. (a) The Administrative Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent prior notice (in substantially the form of
Exhibit B hereto (a "Notice of
Borrowing")), not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
date which is 3 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed borrowing of the
Term Loan (or such shorter
period as
the Administrative Agent is willing to accommodate). Such Notice of
Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount
of the Term Loan, (ii) whether the Term Loan is to be a Reference Rate
Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the initial
Interest Period with respect thereto, and (iii) the proposed borrowing
date, which must be a Business Day. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may act without liability upon the basis of written notice believed by the
Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Administrative Borrower (or
from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the
Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent). The
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on
any Authorized Officer's authority to request the Term Loan on behalf of the
Borrowers until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the
contrary. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty
to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of
Borrowing.
(b) The
Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02
shall be irrevocable and the Borrowers shall be bound to make a borrowing in
accordance therewith.
(c) Except as
otherwise provided in this subsection 2.02(c),
all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and
proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares of the Total Commitment, it being
understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other
Lender in that other Lender's obligations to make a Loan requested hereunder,
nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of
the default by any other Lender in that other Lender's obligation to make a Loan
requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans
required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the
failure by any other Lender.
Section
2.03 Repayment of Term Loan; Evidence of
Debt. (a) The outstanding principal of the Term
Loan shall be repayable in forty-two (42) consecutive monthly installments, on
the first day of each month (or if such date is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day) commencing on December 1, 2008 and ending on the Final
Maturity Date, consisting of forty-one (41) installments, in the amount equal to
$400,000, followed by a final installment in an amount necessary to repay in
full the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan.
(b) Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting
from the Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder.
(c) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest
due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share
thereof.
(d) The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
(e) Any
Lender may request that the Loan made by it be evidenced by a promissory
note. In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such
Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested
by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished
by the Collateral Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Borrower. Thereafter, the Loan evidenced by such promissory note and
interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.07) be represented by one or more promissory
notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such
promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered
assigns).
Section
2.04 Interest. (a) Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, at the option of the Administrative Borrower, all or
any portion of the Term Loan shall be either a Reference Rate Loan or a LIBOR
Rate Loan. Each portion of the Term Loan that is:
(i) a
Reference Rate Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from
time to time outstanding, from the date of the Term Loan until repaid, at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of (A) Reference Rate then in effect for that portion
of the Term Loan plus (B) the
Applicable Margin plus (C) the
Applicable PIK Margin; provided that, in the
absence of a continuing Event of Default, that portion of such interest equal to
the Applicable PIK Margin shall, in the absence of an election by the
Administrative Borrower to pay such interest in cash, be paid-in-kind by being
added to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, provided, further, that, the
Administrative Borrower may, on or prior to the date that is 5 Business Days
prior to the due date thereof, elect to pay in cash all or any portion of the
interest that may be paid-in-kind pursuant to this proviso.
(ii) Each
portion of the Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of the
Term Loan until repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the LIBOR
Rate for the Interest Period then in effect for that portion of the Term Loan
plus (B) the
Applicable Margin plus (C) the
Applicable PIK Margin; provided that, in the
absence of a continuing Event of Default, that portion of such interest equal to
the Applicable PIK Margin shall, in the absence of an election by the
Administrative Borrower to pay such interest in cash, be paid-in-kind by being
added to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, provided, further, that, the
Administrative Borrower may, on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business
Days prior to the due date thereof, elect to pay in cash all or any portion of
the interest that may be paid-in-kind pursuant to this proviso.
(b) Default
Interest. To the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid
interest on, the Term Loan, fees, indemnities or any other Obligations of the
Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall bear
interest, from the date such Event of Default occurred until the date such Event
of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, at a rate per
annum equal at all times to the Post-Default Rate.
(c) Interest
Payment. Interest on the Term Loan shall be payable monthly,
in arrears, on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the
month following the month in which such Loan is made and at maturity (whether
upon demand, by acceleration or otherwise). Interest at the
Post-Default Rate shall be payable on demand. Each Borrower hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from
time to time, charge the Loan Account pursuant to Section 4.02 with the amount of any interest payment
due hereunder.
(d) General. All
interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual
number of days, including the first day but excluding the last day,
elapsed.
(a) Termination of Total
Commitment. The Total Commitment shall terminate at
5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Effective Date.
(b) Optional
Prepayment.
(i) Term
Loan. The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time,
upon at least 5 Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent,
prepay the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in part. Each
prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b)(i) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued
interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid, together with the
Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection with such
prepayment of the Term Loan. Each such prepayment shall be applied
against the remaining installments of principal due on the Term Loan in the
inverse order of maturity.
(ii) Prepayment In
Full. The Borrowers may, upon at least 60 days prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate this Agreement by paying to the
Administrative Agent, in cash, the Obligations, in full, plus the Applicable
Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection with such termination of this
Agreement. If the Administrative Borrower has sent a notice of
termination pursuant to this clause (ii), the Borrowers shall be obligated to
repay the Obligations, in full and in cash, plus the Applicable Prepayment
Premium, if any, payable in connection with such termination of this Agreement,
on the date set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in such
notice.
(iii) General. In
the event of the termination of this Agreement or a prepayment or repayment of
the Obligations at any time prior to the Final Maturity Date, for any reason,
including in connection with (A) any optional prepayment of the principal of the
Term Loan, whether in whole or in part, in accordance with this Section 2.05(b),
(B) any mandatory prepayment of the principal of the Term Loan in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.05(c) (other than in connection with any
mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i), Section 2.05(c)(ii),

Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization or any other plan of
compromise, restructure, or arrangement in any Insolvency Proceeding, or (G) to
the extent not otherwise provided above, any other prepayment in full of the
Obligations at any time prior to the Final Maturity Date, then, in view of the
impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of
damages to the Agents and the Lenders or profits lost by the Agents and the
Lenders as a result of such prepayment, and by mutual agreement of the parties
as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of
the Agents and the Lenders, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, in cash, the
Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, measured as of the date of such
termination or prepayment.
(c) Mandatory
Prepayment.
(i) Within 10
days of delivery to the Agents and the Lenders of audited annual financial

Person in connection with such Disposition to the extent that the aggregate
amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by all Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries
(and not paid to the Administrative Agent as a prepayment of the Loans) shall
exceed for all such Dispositions $50,000 in any Fiscal Year. Nothing
contained in this subsection (ii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries to make a Disposition of any property other than in accordance with
Section 7.02(c)(ii) and Section 7.02(c)(iii).
(iii) Immediately
upon any Disposition of any Resort Property Lots or any Disposition of any real
property that has been developed into lots and constitutes a Combined Property

7.02(c)(iii), the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of
the Term Loan in accordance with clause (d) below in an amount equal to the
Resort Property Lot Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person
in connection with such Disposition. Any remaining Net Cash
Proceeds relating to any such Disposition which are not reinvested in accordance
with Section 7.01(r) shall be applied upon the expiration of the applicable
Reinvestment Period in accordance with clause (d) below. Nothing

issuance or incurrence by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any
Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), or upon an Equity Issuance,
the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loan in accordance
with clause (d) below in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds
received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of
this subsection (v) shall not be deemed to be
implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(vi) Upon the
receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary
Receipts, the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the
Term Loan in accordance with clause (d) below an amount equal to 100% of such
Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting
such Extraordinary Receipts.
(vii) Within 30
days of the receipt by the Administrative Borrower of a Notice of Revaluation,
the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan when the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loan exceeds the Specified M&E and RE Amount,
to the full extent of any such excess.
(viii) The
Borrowers will immediately prepay all Obligations in the event that the Working
Capital Credit Agreement entered into on the Effective Date is terminated for
any reason and both (A) the Working Capital Credit Agreement is not replaced
with another working capital credit agreement, the terms and conditions of which
are no less favorable to the Borrowers and the Lenders than the Working Capital
Credit Agreement entered into on the Effective Date and (B) the lender or
lenders party to such new working capital credit facility are not reasonably
acceptable to the Collateral Agent.
(ix) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received by any Loan Party or
any of its Subsidiaries in connection with a Disposition or the receipt of
Extraordinary Receipts consisting of insurance proceeds (other than proceeds of
business interruption insurance) or condemnation awards that are required to be

$100,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year, of the Net Cash Proceeds from all
such Dispositions and Extraordinary Receipts shall not be required to be so used
to prepay the Obligations to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds and
Extraordinary Receipts are used to purchase, replace, repair or restore
equipment or long term assets used in such Person's business, provided ,
that
(A) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date such
Person receives such Net Cash Proceeds or Extraordinary Receipts, (B) the
Administrative Borrower delivers a certificate to the Agents within 30 days
after such Disposition, loss, destruction or taking, stating that such Net Cash

and payable or otherwise in a manner and in an amount authorized by the
Collateral Agent, and (D) upon the earlier of the expiration of the period
specified in the relevant certificate furnished to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to clause (B) above or the occurrence of a Default or an Event of

used, shall be used to prepay the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(ii) or Section
2.05(c)(vi) as applicable.
(d) Application of
Payments. Subject to Section 2.05(e), each prepayment required

installments of principal of the Term Loan in the inverse order of
maturity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, prepayments required under
Section 2.05(c) shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(b).
(e) Application of Mandatory
Prepayments to Working Capital Loans. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in Section

Refund"), or (C) the receipt of Extraordinary Receipts consisting of up
to $6,000,000 in the aggregate of proceeds of business interruption insurance
for all such events and occurrences received by Monaco or any of its
Subsidiaries (the "Specified BI

to Section 2.05(c) with the Proceeds of such Working Capital Priority
Collateral, Specified Tax Refund or Specified BI Proceeds shall be reduced, on a
dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount of any corresponding repayment of the
Working Capital Loans made under the Working Capital Credit Agreement with the
Proceeds of such Working Capital Priority Collateral; provided that (1) in
the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, the amount of any such repayment is
available to be reborrowed pursuant to the terms of the Working Capital Credit
Agreement and (2) in the case of clause (C) above, such Specified BI Proceeds
shall only be permitted to be applied to the Working Capital Loans or other
financial accommodations under the Working Capital Credit Agreement to the
extent that the full amount of such proceeds are available to (a) be borrowed by
the Borrowers (whether or not a Default or Event of Default (as such
terms are defined in the Working Capital Credit Agreement) has
occurred
and is continuing under the Working Capital Loan Documents) for the working
capital needs of the Loan Parties or (b) reimburse the Working Capital Agent and
the Working Capital Lenders for any revolving loans or other financial
accommodations made by them to fund the working capital needs of the Loan
Parties after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the payment of the
business interruption insurance proceeds; and
(ii) no
mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan shall be required pursuant to Section
2.05(c) with proceeds of Working Capital Priority Collateral in the event that
the Working Capital Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof and
without giving effect to any waiver of the terms thereof) permits the Loan
Parties to reinvest the Proceeds of such Working Capital Priority Collateral and
such Proceeds are so reinvested in accordance with the applicable reinvestment
provisions contained in the Working Capital Credit Agreement (as in effect on
the date hereof and without giving effect to any waiver of the terms
thereof).

any Funding Losses payable pursuant to Section
2.11, (iii) the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection
with such prepayment of the Loans and (iv) if such prepayment would reduce the
amount of the outstanding Loans to zero, such prepayment shall be accompanied by
the payment of all fees accrued to such date pursuant to Section 2.06.
(g) Cumulative
Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.05, payments with respect to any subsection
of this Section 2.05 are in addition to payments

acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the
Loans (a "Securitization")
through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders
or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct
or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the Lenders or their
Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody's, Standard
& Poor's or one or more other rating agencies (the "Rating
Agencies"). The Loan Parties shall cooperate with the Lenders
and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without limitation,
by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing
such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection
with the Securitization, provided that (i) any
such amendment or additional documentation does not impose material additional
costs on the Loan Parties and (ii) any such amendment or additional
documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or materially
increase the obligations, of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents or change
or affect in a manner adverse to the Loan Parties the financial terms of the

the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the

Section
2.08 Taxes. (a) Any
and all payments by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) taxes
imposed on or measured by the net income, net receipts or capital of any Agent
or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation
holder (any such entity, a "Transferee")) by the
jurisdiction in which such Person is organized or has its principal lending
office or in which it is subject to such tax as a result of a present or former
connection with such jurisdiction (other than any such connection arising from
having executed, delivered, performed its obligations or received payment under,
or enforced any Loan Document) or (ii) branch profits taxes imposed by the
United States (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges
withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, "Taxes"). If
any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder to any Agent or any Lender (or any Transferee), (i) the
sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an "Additional Amount")
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) such Agent or
such Lender (or such Transferee) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall
make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law.
(b) In
addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary
taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that
arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document ("Other
Taxes"). Each Loan Party shall deliver to each Agent and each
Lender official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable
hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(c) The Loan
Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold each Agent and
each Lender harmless from and against Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this
Section 2.08) paid by such Person, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid
within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand
therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or
Other Taxes.
(d) Each
Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States (a "Non-U.S. Lender")
agrees that it shall, no later than the Effective Date (or, in the case of a
Lender or Transferee which becomes a party hereto or participation holder
pursuant to Section
12.07 hereof after the Effective Date, promptly after the date upon which
such Lender or Transferee becomes a party hereto) deliver to the Agents one
properly completed and duly executed copy of either U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or
successors thereto, in each case claiming complete exemption from, or reduced
rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax and payments of interest
hereunder. In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender
claiming
exemption
from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, such Non-U.S. Lender hereby represents to the Agents and the
Borrowers that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)
of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the
meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of any Loan Party
and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to any Loan Party (within
the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code), and such
Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Agents in the event any
such representation is no longer accurate. Such forms shall be
delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to
this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder,
on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder)
and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable
lending office by designating a different lending office (a "New Lending
Office"). In addition, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such
forms within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor from any Agent,
the assigning Lender or the Lender granting a participation, as
applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08,
a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this
Section 2.08(d) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to
deliver. In addition, any Lender or Transferee, if requested by any
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by such Agent as will enable such Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. The Loan Parties shall not be required to
indemnify any Lender or Transferee to the extent that any backup withholding
taxes result from failure to comply with the preceding sentence.
(e) The Loan
Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender, or pay any
Additional Amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal
withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.08 to the extent that (i) the
obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding
tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement
(or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date
such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to
payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such
New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this
clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or Additional
Amounts any Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) through a New Lending Office,
would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed
the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts that the Person making the
assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or
Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been
entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer
or designation, or (ii) the obligation to indemnify or pay such Additional
Amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to
comply with the provisions of clause (d) above.
(f) Any Agent
or any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or Additional
Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent
with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document
reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Borrower or to change the
jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or
change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity
payment or additional amount that may thereafter accrue, would not require such
Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) to disclose any information
such
Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) deems confidential and would not, in the
sole determination of such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee), be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee).
(g) The
obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.08 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loan and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
Section
2.09 LIBOR
Option. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate
based upon the Reference Rate, the Administrative Borrower shall have the option
(the "LIBOR
Option") to have interest on all or a portion of the Loans be charged at
a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate
Loans shall be payable in accordance with Section
2.04(c). On the last day of each applicable Interest Period,
unless the Administrative Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with
respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans
automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Reference
Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that a Default or
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Borrower
no longer shall have the option to request that any portion of the Loans bear
interest at the LIBOR Rate and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to
convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate of
interest then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type
hereunder. In the event that the Administrative Borrower shall not
have given notice to continue any LIBOR Rate Loan into a subsequent Interest
Period, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall automatically become a Reference Rate Loan at
the expiration of the then current Interest Period.
(a) The
Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise
the LIBOR Option by notifying the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New
York City time) at least 3 Business Days prior to (i) the commencement of the
proposed Interest Period or (ii) in the case of the conversion of a LIBOR Rate
Loan into a Reference Rate Loan, the last day of the then current Interest
Period (the "LIBOR
Deadline"). Notice of the Administrative Borrower's election
of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Loans and an Interest Period
pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be made by delivery to the Administrative
Agent of prior notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a "LIBOR Notice")
received by the Administrative Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic
notice received by the Administrative Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be
confirmed by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by
the Administrative Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, the
Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the
Lenders. Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrowers. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may act without
liability upon the basis of written notice believed by the Administrative Agent
in good faith to be from the Administrative Borrower (or from any Authorized
Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Administrative
Borrower to the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent and
each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer's
authority to exercise a LIBOR Option on behalf of the Administrative Borrower
until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the
authenticity of the signature appearing on any written LIBOR
Notice.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers (i) shall
have not more than 2 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time, (ii) only may
exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $5,000,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) may not convert or
continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan for any portion of the Term Loan maturing or
required to be repaid in less than one month.
(c) The
Borrowers may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the
event that LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid on any date that is not the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any mandatory
prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(c) or any
application of payments or proceeds of Collateral in accordance with Section 4.04(b) or for any other reason, including
early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any
portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, the Borrowers shall
indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and the Lenders and their participants
harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.11.
Section
2.11 Funding
Losses. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Loan
Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and
the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by any Agent or
any Lender as a result of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate
Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of a Default or an Event of Default), (b) the conversion
of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default or an Event of Default),
(c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on
the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto, (d) any
default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan
or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at
the due date thereof, by notice of prepayment or otherwise), or (e) the
occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any loss
(including, without limitation, loss of anticipated profits) or reasonable
expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third
parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a LIBOR
Rate Loan (such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, "Funding
Losses"). Funding Losses shall, with respect to any Agent or
any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount reasonably determined by such Agent or
such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would
have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not
occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest
Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue,
for the period that would have been the Interest Period therefor), minus (ii) the amount of
interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate which such Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to be
offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable
amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of an
Agent or a Lender delivered to the Administrative Borrower setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant
to this Section 2.11 shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(a) The LIBOR
Rate may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a
prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such
Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs
due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the
then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes
with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes, which are covered by Section 2.08, or
changes of general applicability with respect to taxes excluded from the
definition of Taxes pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(i)) or (ii) and changes in the
reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or
increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the
LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give the
Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent notice of such a
determination and adjustment and the Administrative Agent promptly shall
transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice
from the affected Lender, the Administrative Borrower may, by notice to such
affected Lender (i) require such Lender to furnish to the Administrative
Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and
the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (ii) repay the
LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with
any amounts due under Section 2.11).
(b) In the
event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or
directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application
thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of
any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain
LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or
charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such
changed circumstances to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each
other Lender and (i) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are
outstanding, the date specified in such Lender's notice shall be deemed to be
the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon
the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate
then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type hereunder, and (ii) the
Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender
determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do
so. Effective immediately upon the giving of such notice, the
obligation of such Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended for the
duration of such illegality or impropriety and, if and when such illegality or
impropriety ceases to exist, such suspension shall cease, and such Lender shall
notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
Section
2.13 No
Requirement to Match Fund. Anything to the contrary
contained herein notwithstanding, neither any Agent nor any Lender, nor any of
their participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund
or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR
Rate. The provisions of this Article II shall
apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as
to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits
for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate
Loans.
INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED
FEES,
PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Section
4.01 Audit
and Collateral Monitoring Fees. The Borrowers acknowledge
that pursuant to Section 7.01(f), representatives of
the Agents may visit any or all of the Loan Parties and/or conduct audits,
inspections, appraisals (including, without limitation, appraisals of Eligible
Real Property and Equipment), valuations, field examinations and/or Phase I ESAs
(including, without limitation, Phase I ESAs of Eligible Real Property) of any
or all of the Loan Parties or the Collateral at any time and from time to time
in a manner so as to not unduly disrupt the business of the Loan
Parties. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) $1,500 per day per
examiner plus the examiner's out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with all such visits, audits, inspections, appraisals
(including, without limitation, appraisals of Eligible Real Property and
Equipment), valuations, field examinations and/or Phase I ESAs (including,
without limitation, Phase I ESAs of Eligible Real Property) by or on behalf of
the Agents and (ii) the cost of all visits, audits, inspections, appraisals
(including, without limitation, appraisals of Eligible Real Property and
Equipment), valuations, field examinations and/or Phase I ESAs (including,
without limitation, Phase I ESAs of Eligible Real Property) conducted by a third
party on behalf of the Agents.
Section
4.02 Payments; Computations and
Statements. (a) The Borrowers will make each
payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time)
on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America and in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent's
Account. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after
12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Business Day will be credited to the Loan
Account on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be
made by the Borrowers without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense
to the Agents and the Lenders. Except as provided in Section 2.02, after receipt, the Administrative Agent
will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the
payment of principal ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any
Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent will cause to be
distributed all interest and fees received from or for the account of the
Borrowers not less than once each month and in any event promptly after receipt
thereof. The Lenders and the Borrowers hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time,
charge the Loan Account of the Borrowers with any amount due and payable by the
Borrowers under any Loan Document. Each of the Lenders and the
Borrowers agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such
charges whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred
and be continuing. Any amount charged to the Loan Account of the
Borrowers shall be deemed Obligations hereunder, which shall bear interest at
the rate applicable to Reference Rate Loans. The Lenders and the
Borrowers confirm that any charges which the Administrative Agent may so make to
the Loan Account of the Borrowers as herein provided will be made as an
accommodation to the Borrowers and solely at the Administrative Agent's
discretion, provided that the Administrative Agent shall from time to time upon
the request of the Collateral Agent, charge the Loan Account of the Borrowers
with any amount due and payable under any Loan Document. Whenever any
payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a
day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations
of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are
payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes
in the absence of manifest error.
(b) The
Administrative Agent shall provide the Administrative Borrower, promptly after
the end of each calendar month, a summary statement (in the form from time to
time used by the Administrative Agent) of the opening and closing daily balances
in the Loan Account of the Borrowers during such month, the amounts and dates of
all Loans made to the Borrowers during such month, the amounts and dates of all
payments on account of the Loans to the Borrowers during such month and the
Loans to which such payments were applied, the amount of interest accrued on the
Loans to the Borrowers during such month, and the amount and nature of any
charges to the Loan Account made during such month on account of fees,
commissions, expenses and other Obligations. All entries on any such
statement shall be presumed to be correct and, thirty (30) days after the same
is sent, shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.
(a) The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender
any payments made by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the Defaulting
Lender's benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender,
the Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other
non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Share (but only
to the extent that such Defaulting Lender's Loan was funded by the other
Lenders) or, if so directed by the Borrowers and if no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting
Lender's Loan was not funded by the other Lenders), retain the
same. Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may hold for
the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received
and retained by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting
Lender. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such
Lender until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared
or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting
Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Borrowers shall have waived such
Defaulting Lender's default in writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes its
Pro Rata Share of the applicable defaulted Loan and pays to the Administrative
Agent all amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender in respect
thereof. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to
increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to
relieve
or excuse
the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and
obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by the Borrowers
of its duties and obligations hereunder to the Administrative Agent or to the
Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any
Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender
of this Agreement and shall entitle the Borrowers at their option, upon written
notice from the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent, to
permanently replace the Defaulting Lender with one or more substitute Lenders
(each, a "Replacement
Lender"), and the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be
replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall
specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later
than 5 Business Days after the date such notice is given. Prior to
the effective date of such replacement, the Defaulting Lender and each
Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance,
subject only to the Defaulting Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding
Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If
the Defaulting Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such
Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the
Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment
and Acceptance. The replacement of any Defaulting Lender shall be
made in accordance with the terms of Section 12.07(b). Any such
assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of any of the Lenders' or the Borrowers' rights or remedies
against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure
to fund.
(b) If any
Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the
exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in
excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations
obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other
Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably
with each of them; provided, however, that if all
or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such
purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such
Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of
such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share
(according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender's required
repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of
any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the
total amount so recovered). The Borrowers agree that any Lender so
purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.03 may, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender's right of set-off) with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
(a) all
payments of principal and interest in respect of the Term Loan, all payments of
fees (other than the fees set forth in the Fee Letter and the audit, inspection,
appraisal and collateral monitoring fees provided for in Section 4.01) and all other payments in respect of any
other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of
the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata
Shares or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on
account of the Term Loan, as designated by the Person making payment when the
payment is made.
(b) After the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, apply all
payments in respect of any Obligations and all Proceeds of the Collateral,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) first, ratably to pay
the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and
other amounts then due to the Agents (including, without limitation, all
principal and interest due and payable in respect of the Collateral Agent
Advances) until paid in full; (ii) second, ratably to
pay the Obligations in respect of any fees and indemnities then due to the
Lenders until paid in full; (iii) third, ratably to pay
interest due in respect of the Term Loan until paid in full; (iv) fourth, ratably to
pay principal of the Term Loan until paid in full, and (v) fifth, to the ratable
payment of all other Obligations then due and payable.
(c) In each
instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Section 4.04(b) shall not be deemed to apply to any
payment by the Borrowers specified by the Administrative Borrower to the
Administrative Agent to be for the payment of Obligations then due and payable
under any provision of this Agreement or the prepayment of all or part of the
principal of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.05.
(d) For
purposes of Section 4.04(b), "paid in full" means
payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the
terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest
(and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any
Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense
reimbursements, whether or not same would be or is allowed or disallowed in
whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.
(e) In the
event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 4.04 and other provisions contained in any
other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such
priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to
the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the
event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as
aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section
4.04 shall control and govern.
Section
4.05 Increased Costs and Reduced
Return. (a) If any Lender or any Agent shall
have determined that the adoption or implementation of, or any change in, any
law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any policy, guideline or directive of, or
any change in, the interpretation or administration thereof by, any court,
central bank or other administrative or Governmental Authority, or compliance by
any Lender or any Agent or any Person controlling any such Agent or any such
Lender with any directive of, or guideline from, any central bank or other
Governmental Authority or the introduction of, or change in, any accounting
principles applicable to any Lender or any Agent or any Person controlling any
such Agent or any such Lender (in each case, whether or not having the force of
law) (each a "Change
in Law"), shall (i) subject such Agent or such Lender, or any Person
controlling such Agent or such Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with
respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by such Agent or such Lender, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Agent or such Lender or
any
Person
controlling such Agent or such Lender of any amounts payable hereunder (except
for changes with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes, which are covered by Section
2.08, or changes of general applicability with respect to taxes excluded from
the definition of Taxes pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(i)) or (ii), (ii) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against any Loan or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the
account of, or credit extended by, such Agent or such Lender or any Person
controlling such Agent or such Lender or (iii) impose on such Agent or such
Lender or any Person controlling such Agent or such Lender any other condition
regarding this Agreement or any Loan, and the result of any event referred to in
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to such Agent or
such Lender of making any Loan, or agreeing to make any Loan, or to reduce any
amount received or receivable by such Agent or such Lender hereunder, then, upon
demand by such Agent or such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to such Agent or
such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Agent or such Lender
for such increased costs or reductions in amount.
(b) If any
Agent or any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law either
(i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by such Agent or such Lender or any Person controlling such Agent
or such Lender, and such Agent or such Lender determines that the amount of such
capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of any Loans made or
maintained, such Agent's or such Lender's or such other controlling Person's
other obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Agent's or such Lender's such other
controlling Person's capital to a level below that which such Agent or such
Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances
as a consequence of any Loans made or maintained or any agreement to make Loans
or such Agent's or such Lender's or such other controlling Person's other
obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration, such Agent's or
such Lender's or such other controlling Person's policies with respect to
capital adequacy), then, upon demand by such Agent or such Lender, the Borrowers
shall pay to such Agent or such Lender from time to time such additional amounts
as will compensate such Agent or such Lender for such cost of maintaining such
increased capital or such reduction in the rate of return on such Agent's or
such Lender's or such other controlling Person's capital.
(c) All
amounts payable under this Section 4.05 shall bear
interest from the date that is ten (10) days after the date of demand by any
Agent or any Lender until payment in full to such Agent or such Lender at the
Reference Rate. A certificate of such Agent or such Lender claiming
compensation under this Section 4.05, specifying the
event herein above described and the nature of such event shall be submitted by
such Agent or such Lender to the Administrative Borrower, setting forth the
additional amount due and an explanation of the calculation thereof, and such
Agent's or such Lender's reasons for invoking the provisions of this Section 4.05, and shall be final and conclusive absent
manifest error.
Section
4.06 Joint
and Several Liability of the
Borrowers. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, each of the Borrowers
hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the
Agents and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for
the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in
consideration of the undertakings of the other
Borrowers
to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. Each of
the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several
liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance
of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations
arising under this Section 4.06), it being the
intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint
and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or
distinction among them. If and to the extent that any of the
Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations
as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the
terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such
payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the
provisions of this Section 4.06 constitute the
absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each of the Borrowers,
enforceable against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and
assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other circumstances
whatsoever.
(b) The
provisions of this Section 4.06 are made for the
benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be
enforced by them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often
as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the
Agents, the Lenders or such successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or
their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other
Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the
other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment
of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The
provisions of this Section 4.06 shall remain in
effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise
fully satisfied.
(c) Each of
the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of

MANAGEMENT,
COLLECTION AND STATUS OF
ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE AND OTHER COLLATERAL
Section
8.01 Collection of Accounts
Receivable; Management of Collateral. (a) The Loan
Parties shall establish and maintain cash management services of a type and on
terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agents at one or more of the banks set
forth on Schedule 8.01 to the Disclosure Letter, each a "Cash Management
Bank", and shall take such reasonable steps to enforce, collect and
receive all amounts owing on the Accounts Receivable of the Loan Parties or any
of their Subsidiaries. The Cash Management Accounts shall be cash
collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and similar items of payment in such
accounts securing payment of the Obligations, and in which the Loan Parties are
hereby deemed to have granted a Lien to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Agents and the Lenders. All checks, drafts, notes, money orders,
acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness received directly by any
Loan Party from any of its Account Debtors, as Proceeds from Accounts Receivable
of such Loan Party or as Proceeds of any other Collateral shall be held by such
Loan Party in trust for the Agents and the Lenders and the Working Capital
Agent. No Loan Party shall commingle such collections with the
Proceeds of any assets not included in the Collateral. No checks,
drafts or other instrument received by the Administrative Agent shall constitute
final payment to the Administrative Agent unless and until such instruments have
actually been collected.
(b) The Loan
Parties shall comply with the cash management provisions of the Working Capital
Credit Agreement and, to the extent required by the Working Capital Credit
Agreement, shall enter into Cash Management Agreements with the Working Capital
Agent and the Collateral Agent.
(c) After the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Working
Capital Agent or the Collateral Agent, in accordance with the Cash
Management Agreements and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, may send a notice of assignment and/or notice of the Lenders'
security interest to any and all Account Debtors or third parties holding or
otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral, and thereafter the Working
Capital Agent or the Collateral Agent or its designee, in accordance with the
Cash Management Agreements and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, shall have the sole right to collect the Accounts Receivable and/or
take possession of the Collateral and the books and records relating
thereto. The Loan Parties shall not, without prior written consent of
the Working Capital Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, grant any
extension of time of payment of any Account Receivable, compromise or settle any
Account Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, release, in whole or
in part, any Person or property liable for the payment thereof, or allow any
credit or discount whatsoever thereon, except, in the absence of a continuing
Event of Default, as permitted by Section 7.02(o).
(d) Each Loan
Party hereby appoints each Agent or its designee on behalf of such Agent as the
Loan Parties' attorney-in-fact with power exercisable during the continuance of
an Event of Default to endorse any Loan Party's name upon any notes,
acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating
to the Accounts Receivable, to sign any Loan Party's name on any invoice or bill
of lading relating to any of the Accounts Receivable, drafts against Account
Debtors with respect to Accounts Receivable, assignments and verifications of
Accounts Receivable and notices to Account Debtors with respect to Accounts
Receivable, to send verification of Accounts Receivable, and to notify the
Postal Service authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed
to any Loan Party to such address as such Agent or its designee may designate
and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement, in
each case, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. All
acts of said attorney or designee lawfully taken are hereby ratified and
approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of
omission or commission (other than acts of omission or commission constituting
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction), or for any error of judgment or mistake of
fact or law; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until all
of the Loans and other Obligations under the Loan Documents are paid in full and
all of the Loan Documents are terminated.
(e) Nothing
herein contained shall be construed to constitute any Agent as agent of any Loan
Party for any purpose whatsoever, and the Agents shall not be responsible or
liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of
the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause
thereof (other than from acts of omission or commission constituting gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction). The Agents shall not, under any circumstance
or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or
delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of
the Accounts Receivable or any instrument received in payment thereof or for any
damage resulting therefrom (other than acts of omission or commission
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents, by
anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, do not assume any of the
obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to any Agent and shall not
be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the
terms and conditions thereof.
(f) If any
Account Receivable includes a charge for any tax payable to any Governmental
Authority, each Agent is hereby authorized (but in no event obligated) in its
discretion to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the Loan
Parties' account and to charge the Loan Parties therefor. The Loan
Parties shall notify the Agents if any Account Receivable includes any taxes due
to any such Governmental Authority and, in the absence of such notice, the
Agents shall have the right to retain the full Proceeds of such Account
Receivable and shall not be liable for any taxes that may be due by reason of
the sale and delivery creating such Account Receivable.
(g) Notwithstanding
any other terms set forth in the Loan Documents, the rights and remedies of the
Agents and the Lenders herein provided, and the obligations of the Loan Parties
set forth herein, are cumulative of, may be exercised singly or concurrently
with, and are not exclusive of, any other rights, remedies or obligations set
forth in any other Loan Document or as provided by law.
Section
8.02 Accounts Receivable
Documentation. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Loan Parties will at such intervals as the Agents may require,
execute and deliver, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default confirmatory written assignments of the Accounts Receivable to the
Agents and furnish such further schedules and/or information as any such Agent
may require relating to the Accounts Receivable, including, without limitation,
sales invoices or the equivalent, credit memos issued, remittance advices,
reports and copies of deposit slips and copies of original shipping or delivery
receipts for all merchandise sold. In addition, the Loan Parties
shall notify the Agents of any non-compliance in respect of the representations,
warranties and covenants contained in Section
8.03. The items to be provided under this Section 8.02 are to be in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Agents and are to be executed and delivered to the Agents from time to
time solely for their convenience in maintaining records of the
Collateral. The Loan Parties' failure to give any of such items to
the Agents shall not affect, terminate, modify or otherwise limit the Collateral
Agent's Lien on the Collateral. The Loan Parties shall not re-date
any invoice or sale or make sales on extended dating beyond that customary in
the Loan Parties' industry, and shall not re-bill any Accounts Receivable
without promptly disclosing the same to the Agents and providing the Agents with
a copy of such re-billing, identifying the same as such. If the Loan
Parties become aware of anything materially detrimental to any of the Loan
Parties' customers' credit, the Loan Parties will promptly advise the Agents
thereof.
Section
8.03 Status
of Accounts Receivable and Other Collateral. With respect
to Collateral of any Loan Party at the time the Collateral becomes subject to
the Collateral Agent's Lien, each Loan Party covenants, represents and
warrants: (a) such Loan Party shall be the sole owner, free and clear
of all Liens (except for the Liens granted in the favor of the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Lenders and Permitted Liens), and except to the extent
that any such restrictions are expressly permitted to exist pursuant to Section 7.02(k) shall be fully authorized to sell,
transfer, pledge and/or grant a security interest in each and every item of said
Collateral; (b) such Loan Party shall maintain books and records pertaining to
said Collateral in such detail, form and scope as the Agents shall reasonably
require; (c) such Loan Party will, immediately upon learning thereof, report to
the Agents any material loss or destruction of, or substantial
damage to, any of the Collateral, and any other matters affecting the value,
enforceability or collectibility of any of the Collateral; and (d) such Loan
Party is not and shall not be entitled to pledge any Agent's or any Lender's
credit on any purchases or for any purpose whatsoever.
Section
8.04 Collateral Custodian. Subject to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or its
designee may at any time and from time to time employ and maintain on the
premises of any Loan Party a custodian selected by the Collateral Agent or its
designee who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect the
Agents' and the Lenders' interests. Subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, each Loan Party hereby agrees to, and to cause its
Subsidiaries to, cooperate with any such custodian and to do whatever the
Collateral Agent or its designee may reasonably request to preserve the
Collateral. All costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent
or its designee by reason of the employment of the custodian shall be the
responsibility of the Borrowers and charged to the Loan Account.

AGENTS
Section
10.01 Appointment. Each Lender (and each
subsequent maker of any Loan by its making thereof) hereby irrevocably appoints
and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to perform the
duties of each such Agent as set forth in this Agreement
including: (i) to receive on behalf of each Lender any payment
of principal of or interest on the Loans outstanding hereunder and all other
amounts accrued hereunder for the account of the Lenders and paid to such Agent,
and, subject to Section 2.02 of this Agreement, to
distribute promptly to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of all payments so
received; (ii) to distribute to each Lender copies of all material notices
and agreements received by such Agent and not required to be delivered to each
Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Agents shall
not have any liability to the Lenders for any Agent's inadvertent failure to
distribute any such notices or agreements to the Lenders; (iii) to
maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and
records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Loans, and related matters
and to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers
and records reflecting the status of the Collateral and related matters;
(iv) to execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or
notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of
claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document; (v) to make the Loans and Collateral Agent
Advances, for such Agent or on behalf of the applicable Lenders as provided in
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vi) to perform, exercise, and
enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lenders with respect to the
Loan Parties, the Obligations, or otherwise related to any of same to the extent
reasonably incidental to the exercise by such Agent of the rights and remedies
specifically authorized to be exercised by such Agent by the terms of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vii) to incur and pay such fees
necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions
and powers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and
(viii) subject to Section 10.03 of this
Agreement, to take such action as such Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to
administer the Loans and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other powers
delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, the power to give or to refuse to give notices,
waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse
to make determinations and calculations) together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes hereof and
thereof. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Agents shall not be required to
exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to
refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining
from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such
instructions of the Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders and all
makers of Loans.
Section
10.02 Nature
of Duties. The Agents shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the
other Loan Documents. The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical
and administrative in nature. The
Agents
shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a
fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or
shall be construed to impose upon the Agents any obligations in respect of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or
therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of
the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the
making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own
appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the value of the
Collateral, and the Agents shall have no duty or responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession
before the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided
that, upon the reasonable request of a Lender, each Agent shall provide to such
Lender any documents or reports delivered to such Agent by the Loan Parties
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. If any Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required
Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, such Agent
shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Each Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders have instructed such Agent
to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
Section
10.03 Rights, Exculpation,
Etc. The
Agents and their directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agents (i) may treat the payee of any Loan as the owner
thereof until the Collateral Agent receives written notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof,
signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;
(ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel
to any Agent or counsel to the Loan Parties), independent public accountants,
and other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the
advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation
to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements,
certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the
part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event
of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including, without
limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be
responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or
thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or
warranty regarding the existence, value or collectibility of the Collateral, the
existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent's Lien thereon, or any
certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the
Agents be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or
maintain any portion of the Collateral. The Agents shall not be
liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith
pursuant to Section 4.04, and if any such
apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in
error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made,
shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of
the
amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agents may at
any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or
approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan
Documents the Agents are permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such
instructions are promptly requested, the Agents shall be absolutely entitled to
refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan
Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required
Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any
right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or
refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.
Section
10.04 Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled
to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other
documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with
respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel
selected by it.
Section
10.05 Indemnification. To the extent that any
Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan Party, the Lenders will
reimburse and indemnify such Agent from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may
be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating
to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any
action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender's Pro Rata Share, including,
without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however, that no
Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or
disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such
liability resulted from such Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the
Loans and the termination of this Agreement.
Section
10.06 Agents
Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the
Total Commitment hereunder and the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have and
may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same
obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other
Lender or maker of a Loan. The terms "Lenders" or "Required Lenders"
or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates,
include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required
Lenders. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business
with any Borrower as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without
any duty to account to the other Lenders.
Section
10.07 Successor Agent. (a) Each
Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30)
Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Borrower and each
Lender. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a
successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as
otherwise provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the
Lenders and each of the Borrowers
acknowledge
and agree that if the Agents resign pursuant to Section 2.4(g)(i)(F) of the
Intercreditor Agreement in connection with the purchase of the Obligations in
accordance with Section 2.4(g) of the Intercreditor Agreement, such resignation
shall be effective immediately upon consummation of such purchase and the
Working Capital Agent, or such other Person as the Eligible ABL Purchasers (as
such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) shall designate, shall be
designated as the successor Agents.
(b) Upon any
such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor
Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent,
and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any Agent's
resignation hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.
(c) If a
successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30)
Business Day period, the retiring Agent, with the consent of the other Agent
shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as an Agent until such
time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the consent of the other Agent,
appoint a successor Agent as provided above.
(a) The
Collateral Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances
("Collateral Agent
Advances") which the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, deems
necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or
dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or
maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrowers of the Term Loan and other
Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and
expenses as described in Section
12.04. The Collateral Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand
and be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the rate then applicable to any portion of the Term Loan that is a
Reference Rate Loan. The Collateral Agent Advances shall constitute
Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance
with Section 4.02. The Collateral Agent
shall notify each Lender and the Administrative Borrower in writing of each such
Collateral Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the
purpose of such Collateral Agent Advance. Without limitation to its
obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Lender
agrees that it shall make available to the Collateral Agent, upon the Collateral
Agent's demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each such Collateral Agent
Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Collateral Agent
by such Lender, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on
demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the
date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Collateral
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the
Reference Rate.
(b) The
Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in
its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent
upon any Collateral, (i) upon termination of the Total Commitment and
payment and satisfaction of the Term Loan, and all other Obligations in
accordance with the terms hereof; (ii) constituting property being sold or
disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents; (iii) constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no
interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) if
approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders; or (v) to the extent
a release of any such Liens is expressly contemplated by any Loan
Document. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the
Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent's authority to release
particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this
Section 10.08(b).
(c) Without
in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent's authority to act without any
specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.08(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in
writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release
Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 10.08(b). Upon receipt by the
Collateral Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release
any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by
any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized
by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the
release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Agents and the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the
Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms
which, in the Collateral Agent's opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to
liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the
release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall
not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon
(or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests in the Collateral
retained by any Loan Party.
(d) The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure
that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Loan Parties or is cared for,
protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been
properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced
or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any
particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to
continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or
available to the Collateral Agent in this Section
10.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in
respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the
Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole
discretion, given the Collateral Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one
of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability
whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided
herein.
Section
10.09 Agency
for Perfection. Each Agent and each Lender hereby appoints
each other Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of
perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets
which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be
perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a
secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest
of another secured party) and each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges
that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the
benefit of the Agents
and the
Lenders as secured party. Should the Administrative Agent or any
Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, the Administrative
Agent or such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly
upon the Collateral Agent's request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to
the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent's
instructions. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall also have the
power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be
necessary or required under applicable state law or otherwise to perform its
duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan
Documents. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby
consents to the foregoing.
Section
10.10 No
Reliance on any Agent's Customer Identification
Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that
neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may
rely on any Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or
assignee's customer identification program, or other requirements imposed by the
USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations issued thereunder, including the regulations
set forth in 31 CFR § 103.121, as hereafter amended or replaced ("CIP Regulations"), or
any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the
following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their
Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or
contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2)
any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices
or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or other regulations
issued under the USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender, Affiliate, participant
or assignee subject to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act will perform the
measures necessary to satisfy its own responsibilities under the CIP
Regulations.
Section
10.11 Intercreditor Agreement. Each
Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent all requisite authority to enter into or
otherwise become bound by the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions thereof. Each Lender
further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor
Agreement and agrees that it shall not take any action that is prohibited by or
inconsistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. No
further consent or approval on the part of any Lender is or will be required in
connection with the performance by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each holder of the Obligations,
by its acceptance hereof, irrevocably agrees to be bound by the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
GUARANTY
Section
11.01 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly
and severally and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual
payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of
all Obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under any Loan
Document, whether for principal, interest (including, without limitation, all
interest that accrues after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding of any
Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such
Insolvency Proceeding), fees, commissions, expense reimbursements,
indemnifications or otherwise (such obligations, to the
extent
not paid by the Borrowers, being the "Guaranteed
Obligations"), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Agents and the Lenders in
enforcing any rights under the guaranty set forth in this ARTICLE XI. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Guarantor's liability shall extend to all amounts that
constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrowers
to the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document but for the fact that they
are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency
Proceeding involving any Borrower. In no event shall the obligation
of any Guarantor hereunder exceed the maximum amount such Guarantor could
guarantee under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.
Section
11.02 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor
jointly and severally guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any
law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agents and the Lenders with
respect thereto. Each Guarantor agrees that this ARTICLE XI constitutes a guaranty of payment when due
and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be made by
any Agent or any Lender to any Collateral. The obligations of each
Guarantor under this ARTICLE XI are independent of
the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of
whether any action is brought against any Loan Party or whether any Loan Party
is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each
Guarantor under this ARTICLE XI shall be
irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor
hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way
relating to, any or all of the following:
(a) any lack
of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto;
(b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any
increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of
additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise;
(c) any
taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking,
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other
guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Guarantor may
have at any time against any Person, including, without limitation, any Agent,
any Lender;
(e) any
change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company
or partnership structure or existence of any Loan Party; or
(f) any other
circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any
existence of or reliance on any representation by the Agents or the Lenders that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan
Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than the defense that the
Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full).
This ARTICLE XI shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agents,
the Lenders or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not
been made.
Section
11.03 Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives
(i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and any other
notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this ARTICLE XI and any requirement that the Agents or the
Lenders exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other
Person or any Collateral, (iii) any right to compel or direct any Agent or
any Lender to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this ARTICLE XI from any one particular fund or source or to
exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, any other
Person or any Collateral, (iv) any requirement that any Agent or any Lender
protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any property
subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any Loan Party,
any other Person or any Collateral, and (v) any other defense available to any
Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that the Agents and the Lenders
shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or
against, or in payment of, any or all of the Obligations. Each
Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from
the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in
this Section 11.03 is knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives any
right to revoke this ARTICLE XI, and acknowledges
that this ARTICLE XI is continuing in nature and
applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the
future.
Section
11.04 Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This
ARTICLE XI is a continuing guaranty and shall (a)
remain in full force and effect until the later of the cash payment in full of
the Guaranteed Obligations (other than indemnification obligations as to which
no claim has been made) and all other amounts payable under this ARTICLE XI and the Final Maturity Date, (b) be binding
upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the Agents and the Lenders and their successors, pledgees,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing clause (c), any Lender may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments and the
Term Loan) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted such Lender herein or
otherwise, in each case as provided in Section
12.07.
Section
11.05 Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise
any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or any
other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of such Guarantor's obligations under this ARTICLE XI, including, without limitation, any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any
right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agents and the Lenders
against any Loan Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not
such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or
common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any
Loan Party or any other
guarantor,
directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other
manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right,
unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the
indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) and all other
amounts payable under this ARTICLE XI shall have
been paid in full in cash and the Final Maturity Date shall have
occurred. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation
of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the
indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) and all other
amounts payable under this ARTICLE XI and the Final
Maturity Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agents
and the Lenders and the Working Capital Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the
Agents and the Lenders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations
and all other amounts payable under this ARTICLE XI
or as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, whether matured or
unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as
Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this ARTICLE XI thereafter arising. If
(i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Agents and the Lenders of all
or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this ARTICLE XI shall be paid in full in cash and
(iii) the Final Maturity Date shall have occurred, the Agents and the
Lenders will, at such Guarantor's request and expense, execute and deliver to
such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without
representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to
such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such
payment by such Guarantor.

Section
12.02 Amendments, Etc. (a) No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Administrative Borrower, the Required Lenders (or by the Collateral Agent with
the written
consent
of the Required Lenders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given,
provided, however, that no
amendment, waiver or consent shall (i) increase the Commitment of any
Lender, reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans payable to any
Lender, reduce the amount of any fee payable for the account of any Lender, or
postpone or extend any scheduled date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
interest or fees on the Loans payable to any Lender, in each case without the
written consent of any Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase the Total
Commitment without the written consent of each Lender, (iii) change the
percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
Loans that is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action
hereunder without the written consent of each Lender, (iv) amend the definition
of "Required Lenders" or "Pro Rata Share" without the written consent of each
Lender, (v) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral (except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents),
subordinate any Lien granted in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Agents and the Lenders, or release any Borrower or any Guarantor without the
written consent of each Lender, (vi) amend, modify or waive Section 4.04, this Section
12.02 of this Agreement without the written consent of each Lender, (vii)
amend the definition of "Availability Reserve", "Specified M&E and RE
Amount", "Eligible Appraised Equipment", "Eligible Equipment", or "Eligible Real
Property" if the effect thereof is to increase the Specified M&E and RE
Amount or (viii) release all or any portion of the Availability Reserve, in each
case, without the written consent of each Lender. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed
by an Agent, affect the rights or duties of such Agent (but not in its capacity
as a Lender) under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. For
the purposes of this Section 12.02 and any other section of this Agreement
solely with respect to the voting or consent rights of a Lender, any Lender that
is also a Working Capital Lender (other than Ableco Finance LLC and any of its
Related Funds) shall not be considered a Lender under this
Agreement.
(b) If any
action to be taken by the Lenders hereunder requires the unanimous consent,
authorization, or agreement of all of the Lenders, and a Lender other than the
Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (the "Holdout Lender") fails to
give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then the Collateral Agent, upon
at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may
permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Lenders
(each, a "Replacement
Lender"), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be
replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall
specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later
than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given. Prior to
the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement
Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to
the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without
any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender
shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance
prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be
deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and
Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in
accordance with the terms of Section
12.07(b). Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have
acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and
obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make its Pro Rata Share of
Loans.
Section
12.03 No
Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No
failure on the part of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under
any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the
Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are
in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by
law. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document
against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by
the Agents and the Lenders to exercise any of their rights under any other Loan
Document against such party or against any other Person.
Section
12.04 Expenses; Taxes; Attorneys' Fees. The
Borrowers will pay on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
each Agent (and, in the case of clauses (b) through (m) below, each Lender),
regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated,
including, without limitation, reasonable fees, costs, client charges and
expenses of counsel for each Agent (and, in the case of clauses (b) through (m)
below, each Lender), accounting, due diligence, periodic field audits, physical
counts, valuations, investigations, searches and filings, monitoring of assets,
appraisals of Collateral, title searches and reviewing environmental
assessments, miscellaneous disbursements, examination, travel, lodging and

execution, delivery, performance and administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the preparation of any
additional Loan Documents pursuant to Section
7.01(b) or the review of any of the agreements, instruments and documents
referred to in Section 7.01(f)), (b) any
requested amendments, waivers or consents to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents whether or not such documents become effective or are given,
(c) the preservation and protection of the Agents' or any of the Lenders'
rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (d) the defense of any
claim or action asserted or brought against any Agent or any Lender by any
Person that arises from or relates to this Agreement, any other Loan Document,
the Agents' or the Lenders' claims against any Loan Party, or any and all
matters in connection therewith, (e) the commencement or defense of, or
intervention in, any court proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, (f) the filing of any petition, complaint,

Section
12.05 Right
of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement,
any Agent or any Lender may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from
time to time, without notice to any Loan Party (any such notice being expressly
waived by the Loan Parties) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such
Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party
against any and all obligations of the Loan Parties either now or hereafter
existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or
such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such
obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Agent and each
Lender agrees to notify such Loan Party promptly after any such set-off and
application made by such Agent or such Lender provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under this Section 12.05 are in addition to the other rights and
remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Agents and the Lenders
may have under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents of law or
otherwise.
Section
12.06 Severability. Any provision of
this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting
the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
(a) This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of each Loan Party and each Agent and each Lender and their respective
successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of
the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender and any
such assignment without the Lenders' prior written consent shall be null and
void.
(b) Each
Lender may with the written consent of the Collateral Agent, assign to one or
more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and
obligations
under
this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and
any Term Loan made by it; provided, however, that
(i) such assignment is in an amount which is at least $2,500,000 or a
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or the remainder of such Lender's
Commitment) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an assignment (1) for
which the Collateral Agent waives such minimum amount and (2) by a Lender to
(x) a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender
or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of whom is an Affiliate or Related Fund
of each other to the extent the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new
Lenders is at least $2,500,000 or a multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof),
(ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Collateral Agent, for its acceptance, an Assignment and Acceptance, together
with any promissory note subject to such assignment and such parties shall
deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, a
processing and recordation fee of $5,000 (except the payment of such fee shall
not be required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to a Lender, an
Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender) and (iii) no
written consent of the Collateral Agent shall be required if such
assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or
other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan
portfolio of such Lender. Upon such execution, delivery and
acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance and recordation on the Register, which effective date shall be at
least 3 Business Days after the delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent
(or such shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Collateral Agent and the
parties to such assignment), (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a
"Lender" hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held
by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations
hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto).
(c) By
executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and
the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other
parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the
financial condition of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the
performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such
assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and
without reliance upon the assigning Lender, any Agent or any Lender and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and
authorizes the Agents to take such action as agents
on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto; and
(vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d) The
Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrowers, maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment
Office, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it
and a register (the "Register") for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of,
and the principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon) (the "Registered
Loans"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as
a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower and any Lender
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.
(e) Upon
receipt by the Administrative Agent of a completed Assignment and Acceptance,
and subject to any consent required from the Collateral Agent pursuant to
Section 12.07(b) (which consent of the Collateral Agent must be evidenced by the
Collateral Agent's execution of an acceptance to such Assignment and
Acceptance), the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment, record the
information contained therein in the Register and provide to the Collateral
Agent a copy of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance.
(f) A
Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be
assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or
sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so
provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered
Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only
by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the
surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by
(or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by)
the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated
assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same
aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or
transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any
Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the
Agents shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered on the Register as
the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(g) In the
event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender
shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the
Borrowers, maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register, on which it enters
the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it and the
principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Registered
Loan that is the subject of the participation (the "Participant
Register"). A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if
any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by
registration of such participation on the
Participant
Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any
participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any,
evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such
participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register
shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower and any Lender
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.
(h) Any
Non-U.S. Lender who purchases or is assigned or participates in any portion of
such Registered Loan shall comply with Section 2.08(d).
(i) Each
Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitments, the Loans made by it); provided, that (i) such Lender's obligations
under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Commitments hereunder)
and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents; (iii) in no event shall any Loan Party nor any Affiliate of any Loan
Party be permitted to be a participant; and (iv) a participant shall not be
entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder
except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or
decrease in the principal amount of the Loans, (B) action directly
effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest
payable on the Loans or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions
directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral
or any Loan Party (except as set forth in Section
10.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan
Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 and Section
4.05 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of
the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender.
Section
12.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering
an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or electronic mail
also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the
failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The
foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis
mutandis.
Section
12.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section
12.10 CONSENT
TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. ANY LEGAL
ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK
OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK,
AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY,
THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS ITS
AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND
FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF
COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE
ADMINISTRATIVE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.01
AND TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME
EFFECTIVE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. THE LOAN PARTIES AGREE
THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND
MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER
MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE
AGENTS AND THE LENDERS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY
LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY
IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH
IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH
LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY
SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE
EXTENT THAT ANY LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM
JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR
NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR
OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
Section
12.11 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH
LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT,
INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE
DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP
EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION,
PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A
COURT AND
NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH LOAN PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER,
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVERS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS
AGREEMENT.
Section
12.12 Consent
by the Agents and Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly
set forth herein to the contrary or in any other Loan Document, if the consent,
approval, satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action
(an "Action")
of any Agent or any Lender shall be permitted or required pursuant to any
provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement to which any Loan Party
is a party and to which any Agent or any Lender has succeeded thereto, such
Action shall be required to be in writing and may be withheld or denied by such
Agent or such Lender, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason, and
without being subject to question or challenge on the grounds that such Action
was not taken in good faith.
Section
12.14 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any
claim is ever made upon any Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any
amount or amounts received by such Agent or such Lender in payment or on account
of any of the Obligations, such Agent or such Lender shall give prompt notice of
such claim to each other Agent and Lender and the Administrative Borrower, and
if such Agent or such Lender repays all or part of such amount by reason of
(i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body
having jurisdiction over such Agent or such Lender or any of its property, or
(ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by
such Agent or such Lender with any such claimant, then and in such event each
Loan Party agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or
compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any
Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the termination of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain
liable to such Agent or such Lender hereunder for the amount so repaid or
recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been
received by such Agent or such Lender.
(a) General
Indemnity. In addition to each Loan Party's other Obligations
under this Agreement, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend,
protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Lender and all of their
respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents
(collectively called the "Indemnitees") from
and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties,
fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior
to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct, indirect or
consequential, as a result of or arising from or
relating
to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation,
preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or of any other document executed in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Agent's or any
Lender's furnishing of funds to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the management of any such
Loans, (iii) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by any document executed in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party
thereto (collectively, the "Indemnified
Matters"); provided, however, that the
Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this
subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Environmental
Indemnity. Without limiting Section
12.15(a) hereof, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend,
indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnitees against any and all Environmental
Liabilities and Costs and all other claims, demands, penalties, fines, liability
(including strict liability), losses, damages, costs and expenses (including
without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, consultant fees and
laboratory fees), arising out of (i) any Releases or threatened Releases
(x) at any property presently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest, that
may affect Agents' and Lenders' rights and obligations under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or (y) of any Hazardous Materials generated and
disposed of by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any
predecessor in interest; (ii) any violations of Environmental Laws that may
affect Agents' and Lenders' rights and obligations under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents; (iii) any Environmental Action relating to any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest;
(iv) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage
(real or personal) arising out of exposure to Hazardous Materials used, handled,
generated, transported or disposed by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any
Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest; and (v) any breach of any
warranty or representation regarding environmental matters made by the Loan
Parties in Section 6.01(r) or the breach of any
covenant made by the Loan Parties in Section
7.01(j). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall
not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (b) regarding
any potential environmental matter covered hereunder which is caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) The
indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and
expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Loan
Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and
hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.15 may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan
Party shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is
permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the
Indemnitees. The indemnities set forth in this Section 12.15 shall survive the repayment of the
Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Loan
Documents.
Section
12.16 Monaco
as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Monaco as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers
(the "Administrative
Borrower") which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless
and until the Agents shall have received prior written notice signed by all of
the Borrowers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower
has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to
provide to the Agents and receive from the Agents all notices with respect to
Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and
instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the
Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and to
exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the
Loan Account and Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more
fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in
order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most
efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither the
Agents nor the Lenders shall incur liability to the Borrowers as a result
hereof. Each of the Borrowers expects to derive benefit, directly or
indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Account and the Collateral in a
combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on
the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To
induce the Agents and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each
of the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the
Indemnitees and hold the Indemnitees harmless against any and all liability,
expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against such Indemnitee by any
of the Borrowers or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by
reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of the Borrowers
as herein provided, (b) the Agents and the Lenders relying on any
instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken
by any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents.
Section
12.17 Records. The unpaid principal of and
interest on the Term Loan, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid
principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitments, and
the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section
2.06 hereof, including, without limitation, the fees set forth in the Fee
Letter and any Applicable Prepayment Premium, shall at all times be ascertained
from the records of the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error.
Section
12.18 Binding
Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender and when
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01
hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Agents, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, each Agent
and each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the
Loan Parties shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any
interest herein without the prior written consent of each Agent and each Lender,
and any assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 12.07 hereof.
Section
12.19 Interest. It is the intention of the
parties hereto that each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury
laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions
contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to
any Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the
United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction
whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Agent or such Lender
notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the
Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all
consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or
any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such
Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no
circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any
excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited
by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to
the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would
thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable,
to the Borrowers); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is
accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise,
or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration
that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender may
never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and
excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be
canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the
date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be
credited by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of
the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations
shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such
Lender to the Borrowers). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any
Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder
shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Agent or such Lender,
be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the
Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of
any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such
applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount
of interest payable to any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at
the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant to this
Section 12.19 and (y) in respect of any
subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable
to such Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable
to such Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to
such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or
such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall
continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or
such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such
Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to
such Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed
without giving effect to this
Section
12.19.
For
purposes of this Section 12.19, the term "applicable
law" shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan
transaction between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Agents and the
Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the
highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan
transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to
the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.
The right
to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not include the right to
accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date of
acceleration.
Section
12.20 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each
Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors,
officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep
confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling
confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound
practices of comparable commercial finance companies, any non-public information
supplied to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents which is identified in writing by the Loan Parties as being
confidential at the time the same is delivered to such Person (and which at the
time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to
such Person from another source not known to be subject to a confidentiality
obligation to such Person not to disclose such information), provided that nothing
herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (i) to the extent

ISSUANCE
OF EQUITY INTERESTS TO HOLDCO
Section
13.01 Authorization and Issuance of
Warrants. On the Effective Date, Monaco shall issue to
Holdco one or more warrant certificates covering the purchase of shares of
Common Stock of Monaco in form and substance satisfactory to Ableco and Holdco
(such certificates, together with the rights to purchase Common Stock of Monaco
provided thereby and all warrant certificates covering such stock issued upon
transfer, division or combination of, or in substitution for, any thereof, being
herein called the "Warrants"). It
is understood and agreed that the Warrants contain provisions affecting the
number of shares of Common Stock of Monaco that may be acquired, which
provisions are set forth in the Warrants.
(a) Ableco
represents and warrants to Monaco that:
(i) Holdco is
an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act. Holdco is a sophisticated
investor with such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so
as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Warrant and the
Warrant Stock and is capable of bearing the economic risks of such Warrant and
Warrant Stock. Holdco has relied solely upon the advice of Holdco's
legal counsel and accountants or other financial advisers with respect to the
legal, financial, business, tax and other considerations relating to the
purchase of the Warrant and the Warrant Stock and has been offered, during the
course of discussions concerning the issuance of the Warrant, the opportunity to
ask such questions and inspect such documents concerning the Company and its
business and affairs as Holdco has requested so as to understand more fully the
nature of the investment and to verify the accuracy of the information
supplied.
(ii) Holdco is
acquiring the Warrants for its own account and not with a view towards, or for
resale in connection with, the sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to
sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities
Act"); provided, however, that by
making the representations herein, Holdco does not agree to hold any of the
Warrants or the Warrant Stock for any minimum or other specific term and
reserves the right to dispose of the Warrants or the Warrant Stock at any time
in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement or an
exemption under the Securities Act and pursuant to the applicable terms of the
Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Credit Agreement and related
documents.
(b) Monaco
represents and warrants to Ableco and Holdco that:
(i) Assuming
the truth and accuracy of Ableco's representations and warranties contained in
the immediately preceding paragraphs, the issuance of the Warrants to Holdco
hereunder is exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the
Securities Act.
(c) Monaco
agrees that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf has offered or will
offer the Warrants or Warrant Stock or any similar securities for issue or sale
to, or has solicited or will solicit any offer to acquire any of the same from,
any Person so as to require the registration of the Warrants or Warrant
Stock pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act.
