4. | Each Loan Party has duly executed and delivered the Operative Documents executed and delivered on the date hereof to which it is a party and delivered the Financing Statements on which it is named as debtor. | |
5. | Each of the Operative Documents executed by any Loan Party on the date hereof is a valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party that is a party thereto and is enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms. | |
6. | Assuming application of the proceeds of the Borrowings as contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that none of such proceeds will be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), the borrowings by the Borrower under the |
Page 3
Credit Agreement will not result in a violation of Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. | ||
7. | No Loan Party is presently required to obtain any consent, approval, permit, authorization or order of, or make any filings or registrations with, or give notice to, any United States federal or State of New York court, governmental body, authority or agency in order to obtain the right to (a) execute and deliver the Operative Documents executed and delivered on the date hereof to which it is a party and (b) perform its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party, except for: (i) such consents, authorizations, approvals, permits, orders, registrations, or filings as have been obtained or made prior to the date hereof, (ii) filings necessary to perfect liens and security interests granted under the Operative Documents and to release liens existing prior to the date hereof, (iii) actions or filings required in connection with ordinary course conduct of its business and ownership or operation of its assets, (iv) actions and filings required under any of the laws, regulations or governmental requirements set forth onSchedule C hereto (as to which we express no opinion), or (v) consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, actions or filings that may be required by any banking, insurance or other regulatory statute to which you may be subject (as to which we express no opinion). | |

(b) The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Operative Documents executed and delivered on the date hereof to which it is a party, and the performance by each Loan Party of its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party, will not constitute a violation by such Loan Party of any applicable provision of existing United States or State of New York statutory law or governmental regulation or the DGCL, the DLLCA or the DRULPA, as applicable to such Loan Party, covered by this letter. | ||
9. | Assuming (in addition to all other assumptions upon which this letter is based) that the Agent has taken possession of and is retaining in the State of New York the certificates representing the securities (as defined in Section 8-103 of the New York UCC) (but in the case of limited liability company interests and limited partnership interests, only to the extent they constitute “securities” under the New York UCC and each other applicable Uniform Commercial Code, as to which we express no opinion),excluding any securities issued by any entity not organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or one of the fifty states or the District Columbia of the United States of America, that are certificated and pledged by the Loan Parties pursuant to the Security Agreement, as identified on the Schedule of Pledged Stock attached hereto asSchedule F (the “Pledged Stock”), duly endorsed to the Agent or in blank, (i) the security interest in favor of the Agent in such Pledged Stock represented by such certificates or instruments |
Page 4
(as applicable) and granted under the Security Agreement in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders is perfected under the New York UCC and (ii) the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, has “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the New York UCC) of such Pledged Stock. Assuming further (in addition to all other assumptions upon which this letter is based) that the Agent has taken possession of such Pledged Stock and such accompanying endorsements without notice (actual or constructive), at or prior to the time of delivery of such Pledged Stock and endorsements to the Agent, of any adverse claim within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(1) of the New York UCC, the Agent has acquired its security interest in such Pledged Stock free of any such adverse claims, and the Agent will be a “protected purchaser” (within the meaning of Section 8-303(a) of the New York UCC) of such security interest in the Pledged Stock. Such security interest in the Pledged Stock will continue to remain a perfected security interest as long as such certificates and instruments remain in the continuous and exclusive possession of the Agent in the State of New York. | ||
10. | With respect to each of the Loan Parties which is a “Grantor” under the Security Agreement, the Security Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in such Loan Party’s collateral therein respectively described with respect to which such Loan Party has rights or has the power to transfer rights (the “Collateral”) and which constitutes property in which a security interest can be granted under Article 9 of the New York UCC. Such Collateral is referred to herein as the “Code Collateral”. | |
11. | (a) Under the New York UCC, the perfection of the Agent’s security interests in the Code Collateral (i) will, as a general matter and except as otherwise provided in Sections 9-301 through 9-307 of the New York UCC, be governed by the local law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable grantor is located (which in the case of (A) a registered organization (as defined in the New York UCC) such as a corporation or a limited liability company that is organized or formed under the laws of a State (as defined in the New York UCC) is the State under whose laws such registered organization is organized or formed, (B) an organization that is not a registered organization, at its chief executive office or (C) an organization whose chief executive office is located in a jurisdiction whose law does not generally require information concerning the existence of a nonpossessory security interest to be made generally available in a filing, recording, or registration system, the District of Columbia), (ii) will, in the case of a possessory security interest, generally be governed by the local law of the jurisdiction in which the collateral is located, (iii) which constitutes certificated securities will be governed by the local law of the jurisdiction in which the security certificates are located (other than perfection by filing, which is governed by the local law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable grantor is located) as specified in Section 9-305(a)(1) of the New York UCC, (iv) which constitutes uncertificated securities will be governed by the local law of the issuer’s jurisdiction as specified in Section 8-110(d) of the New York UCC pursuant to Section 9-305(a)(2) of the New York UCC (other than perfection by filing, which is governed by the local law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable grantor is located), |
Page 5
(v) which constitutes a security entitlement or a securities account will be governed by the local law of the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction as specified in Section 8-110(e) of the New York UCC pursuant to Section 9-305(a)(3) of the New York UCC (other than perfection by filing, which is governed by the local law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable grantor is located), (vi) which constitutes goods covered by a certificate of title will be governed by the local law of the jurisdiction under whose certificate of title the goods are covered as specified in Section 9-303 of the New York UCC, (vii) which constitutes deposit accounts will be governed by the local law of the depositary bank’s jurisdiction as specified in Section 9-304 of the New York UCC, (viii) which constitutes letter-of-credit rights will generally be governed by the local law of the issuer’s or nominated person’s jurisdiction as specified in Section 9-306 of the New York UCC, and (ix) which constitutes other categories will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction or jurisdictions specified in Sections 9-301 through 9-307 of the New York UCC. | ||
(b) Under the principles described in the preceding subparagraph (a)(i) of this paragraph 11 and, with respect to perfection by filing, in the preceding subparagraphs (a)(iii), (a)(iv) and (a)(v) of this paragraph 11, the perfection of the Agent’s security interests in certain of the Code Collateral (the “Filing Code Collateral”) is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. When the Financing Statements naming each Loan Party, respectively, as debtor are duly filed with the DE Filing Office, the Agent’s security interests under the Security Agreement in the Filing Code Collateral of each such Loan Party will be perfected to the extent both (i) such Filing Code Collateral is also described in such Financing Statements in a manner that satisfies Section 9-504 of the Delaware UCC, and (ii) such security interest can be perfected by the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in such jurisdictions. |
12. | To our actual knowledge, no legal or governmental investigations, actions, suits or proceedings are pending or threatened against any Loan Party which seek to restrain, enjoin or prevent the consummation on the Closing Date of or otherwise challenge or impose any adverse condition upon, the execution and delivery of the Operative Documents or the consummation on the Closing Date of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. | |
13. | None of the Loan Parties is an “investment company” required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Investment Company Act”). |
