(i) Loans Generally. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its amount, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received.
(ii) Swing Line Loans. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of Swing Line Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing.
(e) Advance Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the
37
Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made the same available to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.07, for the respective Loans (but without any requirement to pay any amounts in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.02).
Section 2.06 Evidence of Obligations.
(a) Loan Accounts of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b) Loan Accounts of Administrative Agent; Lender Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record: (i) the amount of each Loan and Borrowing made hereunder, the Type thereof, the currency in which such Loan is denominated, the Interest Period and applicable interest rate and in the case of a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Loan Maturity Date; (ii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder; (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof; and (iv) the other details relating to the Loans and other Obligations. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (the “Lender Register”) on or in which it will record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make the Lender Register available to any Lender or the Borrower upon its request.
(c) Effect of Loan Accounts, etc. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.06(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error (other than manifest error) therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Credit Party to repay or prepay the Loans or the other Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Notes. Upon request of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, (i) a Revolving Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender, and (ii) a Swing Line Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Swing Line Loans made to it by the Swing Line Lender; provided, however, that the decision of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender not to request a Note shall in no way detract from the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans and other amounts owing by the Borrower to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender.
38
Section 2.07 Interest; Default Rate.
(a) Interest on Revolving Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Revolving Loan Margin and (ii) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Revolving Loan Margin.
(b) Interest on Swing Line Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written notice by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent may give in its discretion and shall give at the direction of the Required Lenders), the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all overdue interest in respect of each Loan and all fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. In addition, if any amount (other than amounts as to which the foregoing sentence is applicable) payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents is not paid when due, upon written notice by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent may give in its discretion and shall give at the direction of the Required Lenders), such amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.
(d) Accrual and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be payable by the Borrower: (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month; (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) in respect of any Swing Line Loan, on the Swing Line Loan Maturity Date for such Swing Line Loan; and (iv) in respect of all Loans, on any repayment, prepayment or Conversion (on the amount repaid, prepaid or Converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity.
(e) Computations of Interest. All computations of interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.
(f) Information as to Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Any such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
Section 2.08 Conversion and Continuation of Loans.
(a) Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to (i) Convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type made to it into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loans that can be made to it pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Continue a Borrowing of Eurodollar
39
Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans with a new Interest Period; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans.
(b) Notice of Continuation and Conversion. Each Continuation or Conversion of a Loan shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Continuation of or Conversion into a Eurodollar Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such Continuation or Conversion, and (ii) in the case of each Conversion to a Base Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Conversion. Each such request shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Continuation or Conversion”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower of a Notice of Continuation or Conversion), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the Borrowings to be Continued or Converted, (B) the date of the Continuation or Conversion (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the Interest Period or, in the case of a Continuation, the new Interest Period. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.09 Fees.
(a) Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender based upon each such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage, as consideration for the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) calculated on a daily basis as of the end of each day during the calendar quarter equal to the Applicable Unused Fee Rate multiplied by, as of each date of determination, (a) the Total Revolving Commitment, minus (b) the then outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans. The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Revolving Commitments shall terminate, with a final payment on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.
(b) Extension Fee. If the Revolving Facility Termination Date is being extended in accordance with Section 2.15, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a fee equal to three-twentieths of one percent (0.15%) of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment (whether or not utilized). Such fee shall be due and payable in full on the effective date of such extension.
(c) Administrative Agent and Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on the Closing Date and thereafter, for its own account, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter or any other writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d) Computations and Determination of Fees. All computations of Unused Fees and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.
40
Section 2.10 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments.
(a) Mandatory Termination of Revolving Commitments. All of the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.
(b) Voluntary Termination of the Total Revolving Commitment. Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right to terminate in whole the Total Revolving Commitment, provided that all outstanding Revolving Loans are contemporaneously prepaid in accordance with Section 2.11.
(c) Partial Reduction of Total Revolving Commitment. Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right to partially and permanently reduce the Unused Total Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that (i) any such reduction shall apply to proportionately (based on each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage) and permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) no such reduction shall be permitted if the Borrower would be required to make a mandatory prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(ii), and any partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 (or, if greater, in integral multiples of $1,000,000).
Section 2.11 Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any of the Loans owing by it, in whole or in part, from time to time without premium or penalty, except as specified in subparts (d) and (e) below. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent) of its intent to prepay the Loans, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which the prepayment is to be made, which notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent by (y) 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans, or (z) 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Base Rate Loans, and which notice shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the affected Lenders, provided that:
(i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least (A) in the case of any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the full amount of such Borrowing), or an integral multiple of $100,000, (B) in the case of any prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the full amount of such Borrowing), or an integral multiple of $100,000, and (C) in the case of any prepayment of a Swing Line Loan, in the full amount thereof; and
(ii) no partial prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of such Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto.
(b) [Reserved].
41
(c) Mandatory Payments. The Loans shall be subject to mandatory repayment or prepayment (in the case of any partial prepayment conforming to the requirements as to the amounts of partial prepayments set forth in Section 2.11(a) above), in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Revolving Facility Termination Date. The entire principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.
(ii) Loans Exceed the Revolving Commitments. If on any date (after giving effect to any other payments on such date) (A) the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment, or (B) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, or (C) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding exceeds the Swing Line Commitment, then, in the case of each of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, on such day, prepay on such date the principal amount of Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.
(d) Applications of Prepayment Proceeds. Each prepayment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(ii) above shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of principal of, first, the outstanding Swing Line Loans, and second, the outstanding Revolving Loans.
(e) Particular Loans to be Prepaid. With respect to each repayment or prepayment of Loans made or required by this Section, the Borrower shall designate the Types of Loans that are to be repaid or prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such repayment or prepayment is to be made; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower shall first so designate all Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on the date of repayment or prepayment prior to designating any other Eurodollar Loans for repayment or prepayment, and (ii) if the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing is reduced below the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount as a result of any such repayment or prepayment, then all the Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing shall, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, be Converted into Base Rate Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Article III.
(f) Breakage and Other Compensation. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by any amounts payable in respect thereof under Article III hereof.
Section 2.12 Method and Place of Payment.
(a) Generally. All payments made by the Borrower hereunder (including any payments made with respect to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under Article X) under any Revolving Facility Note or any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.
(b) Application of Payments. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, (i) all payments and prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis based upon each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such prepayment, and (ii) all payments and prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to pay or prepay such Swing Line Loans.
(c) Payment of Obligations. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, all payments under this Agreement with respect to any of the Obligations shall be made to the Administrative
42
Agent on the date when due and shall be made at the Payment Office in immediately available funds and, except as set forth in the next sentence, shall be made in Dollars.
(d) Timing of Payments. Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Payment Office) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.
(e) Distribution to Lenders. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender, its ratable share, if any, of the amount of principal, interest, and Fees received by it for the account of such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent in Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders in Dollars in immediately available funds; provided, however, that if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and Fees then due hereunder then, except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, such funds shall be applied, first, towards payment of interest and Fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and Fees then due to such parties, and second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swing Line Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Line Lender (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(c), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).
Section 2.13 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(iii) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 11.12.
(iv) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.03 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any
43
amounts owing to the Swing Line Lender and/or Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Facility. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(v) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). With respect to any Unused Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender hereunder, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Swing Line Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(vi) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(vii) Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure.
44
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Commitments under the Revolving Facility, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c) New Swing Line Loans. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure immediately after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan.
Section 2.14 Increase in Revolving Commitments.
The Borrower shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $300,000,000 (less any reductions in the Revolving Commitments effected pursuant to Section 2.10(c)). Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments must be an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Commitments, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of the increase in the Revolving Commitments among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide a new Revolving Commitment, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Lenders under Section 3.02 as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans. Effecting the increase of the Revolving Commitments under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (w) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase, (x) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and any other Credit Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty
45
qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited hereunder, (y) the Borrower, after giving effect to the full amount of the increase of Revolving Commitments as Indebtedness, would be in pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.08 and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by an Authorized Officer of (A) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such increase and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase and any other Credit Party authorizing such Credit Party, as applicable, to provide security interests in respect of such increase; (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower, the Guarantors, and the other Credit Parties and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; (iii) new Revolving Facility Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Revolving Facility Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments, in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, (iv) an updated “Eagle 9” insurance policy which increases the coverage thereunder by the amount of such increase in the Revolving Commitments, and (v) a certificate from an Authorized Officer certifying the matters referred to in the preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z). In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
Section 2.15 Extension of Revolving Facility Termination Date.
The Borrower shall have the option, exercisable one time, to extend the current Revolving Facility Termination Date by one year. The Borrower may exercise such option by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days and not more than 90 days prior to the currently Revolving Facility Termination Date, a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders if it receives an Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Revolving Facility Termination Date shall be extended to August 5, 2020 effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (ii): (i) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Credit Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly related solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents and (ii) the Borrower shall have paid the fees payable under Section 2.09(b). At any time prior to the effectiveness of such extension, upon the
46
Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate from an Authorized Officer certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i)(x) and (i)(y).
Section 2.16 Reallocation.
The Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the amount of the Revolving Commitment of each Lender is as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Revolving Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be reallocated among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages. To effect such reallocations, each Lender who had no Revolving Commitment (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (an “Assignee Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased from the sole Lender who had a Revolving Commitment under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (the “Assignor Lender”) such Assignee Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Revolving Commitment of the Assignor Lender so that the Revolving Loans that were outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement are held by each of the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage (as of the Closing Date) of such outstanding Revolving Loans. Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of Assignment Agreements without the payment of any related assignment fee, and except for Revolving Facility Notes to be provided to the Assignor Lender (all of which are hereby waived). The Assignor Lender and the Assignee Lenders shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct (after giving effect to the making of any Loans to be made on the Closing Date and any netting transactions effected by the Administrative Agent) with respect to such reallocations and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders.

INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY AND TAXES
INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY AND TAXES
Section 3.01 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.
(a) In the event that (y) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (z) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined on a reasonable basis (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):
(i) on any date for determining the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Loan for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in this Agreement for such Eurodollar Loan; or
(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender deems material with respect to any Eurodollar Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of any Connection Income Taxes) or its Revolving Commitment because of any Change in Law that (x) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (other than any reserves already includable in the interest rate
47
applicable to such Eurodollar Loan pursuant to this Agreement); or (y) imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; or
(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Change in Law, or would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially adversely affects the London interbank market;
then, and in each such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall (1) on or promptly following such date or time and (2) within 10 Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the affected Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to such Eurodollar Loans that have not yet been incurred, Converted or Continued shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower or, in the case of a Notice of Borrowing, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender or shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.01(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.
(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (a)(iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) the Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (a)(iii), cancel said Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing, convert the related Notice of Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Lender to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to Convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided, however, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.01(b).
(c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date, any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be
48
material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01(c). The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such notice within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the party of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(d) If any Change in Law shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, principal amount of its Loans, its Revolving Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient hereunder (whether principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon the request of such Recipient, the Borrower shall pay such additional amounts as will compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered ((a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Recipient, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable, submitted to the Borrower by such Recipient shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto). Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01(d), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01(d). The Borrower shall pay such Recipient the amount shown as due on any such notice within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the party of any Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) shall not constitute a waiver of such Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Recipient notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 3.02 Breakage Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of
49
calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans) which such Lender may sustain in connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation or Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.01(a)); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation of any Eurodollar Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Lender of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.04(b); or (v) as a consequence of (y) any other default by the Borrower to repay or prepay any Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (z) an election made pursuant to Section 3.04(b). The written request of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such request within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each instance set forth above in this Section 3.02, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to waive breakage fees up to an amount not to exceed two hundred dollars ($200.00).
Section 3.03 Net Payments.
(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.03, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b)
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a
50
copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 Business Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.03, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.03(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
51
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, an applicable form of U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide an applicable form of U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
52
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(l) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(m) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 3.04 Change of Lending Office; Replacement of Lenders.
(f) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a)(ii), Section 3.01(c), Section 3.01(d) or Section 3.03 requiring the payment of additional amounts to the Lender, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to
53
overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loans or Revolving Commitments affected by such event; provided, however, that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section.
(g) If (i) any Lender requests any compensation, reimbursement or other payment under Section 3.01(a)(ii), Section 3.01(c), or Section 3.01(d) with respect to such Lender, (ii) the Borrower is, or because of a matter in existence as of the date that the Borrower is seeking to exercise its rights under this Section will be, required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.03, or (iii) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 11.06(c)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (1) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall be made the exercise of its Permitted Discretion and shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Section 3.02 hereof), and (3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation, reimbursement or other payments required to be made under Section 3.01(a)(ii), Section 3.01(c) or Section 3.01(d) with respect to such Lender, or resulting from any required payments to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 3.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation, reimbursement or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(h) Nothing in this Section 3.04 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 3.01 or Section 3.03.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans provided for herein, each of the Borrower and the PAC REIT makes the following representations and warranties to, and agreements with, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each Credit Event:
Section 5.01 Corporate Status. Each Credit Party (i) is a duly organized or formed and validly existing corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in good standing or in full force and effect and authorized to transact business under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage, and (ii) has duly qualified and is authorized to do business in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified or authorized except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.02 Corporate Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is party. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is party and each Loan Document to which it is party constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement and obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
Section 5.03 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of the Loan Documents to which it is party nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof (i) will contravene any provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Credit Party or its properties and assets, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (other than the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the property or assets of such Credit Party pursuant to the terms of (A) any Material Contract, or (B) any other promissory note, bond, debenture, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit or loan agreement, or any other material agreement or other instrument, to which such Credit Party is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject, or (iii) will violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Credit Party.
59
Section 5.04 Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize or is required as a condition to (i) the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of any Loan Document to which it is a party or any of its obligations thereunder, or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document to which any Credit Party is a party, except the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents necessary in order to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents.
Section 5.05 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.05, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or the PAC REIT, threatened with respect to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the Advisor or against any of their respective properties (i) that, individually or in the aggregate, have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) that question the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or of any action to be taken by any Credit Party pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.
Section 5.06 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.
(a) The proceeds of all Loans shall be utilized to provide working capital and funds for general corporate purposes, in each case, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) No part of the proceeds of any Credit Event will be used directly or indirectly to purchase or carry Margin Stock, or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, in violation of any of the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. No Credit Party is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. At no time would more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower or of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries that are subject to any “arrangement” (as such term is used in Section 221.2(g) of such Regulation U) hereunder be represented by Margin Stock. The Borrower will not request any Loan, and neither the PAC REIT nor the Borrower shall use, and both the PAC REIT and the Borrower shall ensure that their respective Subsidiaries and the PAC REIT’s, the Borrower’s or their subsidiaries’ respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Loan, directly or indirectly, (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (iii) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.
Section 5.07 Financial Statements.
(a) The Borrower has furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders complete and correct copies of: (i) the audited consolidated balance sheets of the PAC REIT and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and the related audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the PAC REIT and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year of the PAC REIT then ended, accompanied by the report thereon of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC; and (ii) the interim consolidated balance sheet, and the related statements of income and of cash flows, of the PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (except as stated therein), and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates indicated and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods indicated, subject in the case of any such financial statements that are
60
unaudited, to normal audit adjustments. The PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries did not have, as of the date of the latest financial statements referred to above, and will not have as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the incurrence of Loans hereunder, any material or significant contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or the notes thereto in accordance with GAAP and that in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, financial or other condition or prospects of the PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries.
(b) The financial projections of the PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries for the 2016 fiscal year prepared by the PAC REIT and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (the “Financial Projections”) were prepared on behalf of the Borrower in good faith after taking into account historical levels of business activity of the PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries, known trends, including general economic trends, and all other information, assumptions and estimates considered by management of the PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries to be pertinent thereto; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made as to the impact of future general economic conditions or as to whether the PAC REIT’s projected consolidated results as set forth in the Financial Projections will actually be realized, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results for the periods covered by the Financial Projections may differ materially from the Financial Projections. No facts are known to the Borrower or the PAC REIT as of the Closing Date which, if reflected in the Financial Projections, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.08 Solvency. The Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the Borrower has incurred to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents. The Borrower now has capital sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and all business and transactions in which it is about to engage and is now solvent and able to pay its debts as they mature, and the Borrower owns property having a value, both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value, greater than the amount required to pay the Borrower’s debts; and the Borrower is not entering into the Loan Documents with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. The Credit Parties, taken as a whole, now have capital sufficient to carry on their business and transactions and all business and transactions in which they are about to engage and are now solvent and able to pay their debts as they mature, and the Credit Parties, taken as a whole, own property having a value, both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value, greater than the amount required to pay the Credit Parties’ debts; and the Credit Parties are not entering into the Loan Documents with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud their creditors. For purposes of this Section 5.08, “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (y) right to payment whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured; or (z) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.
Section 5.09 No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2015, there has been no change in the condition or business affairs of the PAC REIT, of the Borrower, or of the PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or their properties and assets considered as an entirety, except for changes none of which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.10 Tax Returns and Payments. Each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes and assessments payable by it that have become due, other than those not
61
yet delinquent (after giving effect to any extension) and except for those contested in good faith and for which such Credit Party has complied, or has caused it Subsidiaries to comply, with the immediately following sentence. Each Credit Party has established on its books such charges, accruals and reserves in respect of taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges for all fiscal periods as are required by GAAP. No Credit Party knows of any proposed assessment for additional federal, foreign or state taxes for any period, or of any basis therefor, which, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account such charges, accruals and reserves in respect thereof as the PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries have made, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.11 Title to Properties, etc. Each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title, in the case of Real Property, and good title (or valid Leaseholds, in the case of any leased property), in the case of all other property, to all of its properties and assets free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens. The interests of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries in the properties reflected in the most recent balance sheet referred to in Section 5.07(a), taken as a whole, were sufficient, in the judgment of the Credit Parties, as of the date of such balance sheet for purposes of the ownership and operation of the businesses conducted by the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.11 sets forth a complete list of Real Property owned and/or leased or subleased (as lessor or sublessor, lessee or sublessee) by the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries on the Closing Date.
Section 5.12 Lawful Operations, etc. Each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries: (i) holds all necessary foreign, federal, state, local and other governmental licenses, registrations, certifications, permits and authorizations necessary to conduct its business and own its properties; and (ii) is in full compliance with all requirements imposed by law, regulation or rule, whether foreign, federal, state or local, that are applicable to it, its operations, or its properties and assets, including applicable requirements of Environmental Laws, except in the cases of clause (i) and (ii) above, for any failure to obtain and maintain in effect, or noncompliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.13 Environmental Matters.
(a) Each Credit Party and each of their Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, except to the extent that any such failure to comply (together with any resulting penalties, fines or forfeitures) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All licenses, permits, registrations or approvals required for the conduct of the business of each Credit Party and each of their Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law have been secured and each Credit Party and each of their Subsidiaries is in substantial compliance therewith, except for such licenses, permits, registrations or approvals the failure to secure or to comply therewith is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party nor any of their Subsidiaries has received written notice, or otherwise knows, that it is in any respect in noncompliance with, breach of or default under any applicable writ, order, judgment, injunction, or decree to which such Credit Party or such Subsidiary is a party or that would affect the ability of such Credit Party or such Subsidiary to operate any Real Property and no event has occurred and is continuing that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute noncompliance, breach of or default thereunder, except in each such case, such noncompliance, breaches or defaults as would not reasonably be expected to, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no Environmental Claims pending or, to the best knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on any Real Property now or at any time owned, leased or operated by the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries or on any property adjacent to any such Real Property, that are known by the Credit Parties or as to which
62
any Credit Party or any such Subsidiary has received written notice, that could reasonably be expected: (i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries or any Real Property of a Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries; or (ii) to cause such Real Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such Real Property under any Environmental Law, except in each such case, such Environmental Claims or restrictions that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Hazardous Materials have not at any time been (i) generated, used, treated or stored on, or transported to or from, any Real Property of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or (ii) released on or about any such Real Property, in each case where such occurrence or event is not in compliance with or could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws and is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 5.14 Compliance with ERISA. Compliance by the Credit Parties with the provisions hereof and Credit Events contemplated hereby will not involve any prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. The Credit Parties, their Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate (i) has fulfilled all obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan that is not a Multi-Employer Plan or a Multiple Employer Plan, (ii) has satisfied all contribution obligations in respect of each Multi-Employer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, (iii) is in compliance in all material respects with all other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan, each Multi-Employer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, and (iv) has not incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA to the PBGC with respect to any Plan, any Multi-Employer Plan, any Multiple Employer Plan, or any trust established thereunder. No Plan or trust created thereunder has been terminated, and there have been no Reportable Events, with respect to any Plan or trust created thereunder or with respect to any Multi-Employer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, which termination or Reportable Event will or could give rise to a material liability of the Credit Parties or any ERISA Affiliate in respect thereof. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary of a Credit Party nor any ERISA Affiliate is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the five years preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multi-Employer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multi-Employer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan. Each Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the IRS to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS and to the best knowledge of the Credit Parties, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status, except where the failure to maintain such tax-qualified status could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Credit Parties, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred, and to the best knowledge of the Credit Parties, no fact, event or circumstance exists that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Plan. No waiver of the minimum funding standards under the pension funding rules has been applied for or obtained; as of the most recent valuation date for any Plan, the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60% or higher and, to the best knowledge of the Credit Parties no facts or circumstances exist that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below 60% as of the most recent valuation date; and none of the Credit Parties nor any Subsidiary of a Credit Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary
63
of a Credit Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has any unsatisfied obligation to contribute to, or liability under, any active or terminated Single Employer Plan, except for such unsatisfied contribution obligations or liabilities which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary of a Credit Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as has been disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing.
Section 5.15 Intellectual Property, etc. Each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries has obtained or has the right to use all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for the present and planned future conduct of its business, without any known conflict with the rights of others, except for such patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights, the loss of which, and such conflicts that, in any such case individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 5.15 sets forth a complete list of all material licenses, trade names and service marks and all registered patents, trademarks and copyrights, in each case with respect to Intellectual Property.
Section 5.16 Investment Company Act, etc. No Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation with respect to the creation or incurrence of Indebtedness under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Federal Power Act, as amended or any applicable Federal or state public utility law.
Section 5.17 Insurance. The Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries maintain insurance coverage by such insurers and in such forms and amounts and against such risks as are generally consistent with industry standards and in each case in compliance with the terms of Section 6.03. Schedule 5.17 sets forth a complete list of all insurance maintained by the Credit Parties on the Closing Date.
Section 5.18 Burdensome Contracts; Labor Relations. No Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (a) is subject to any burdensome contract, agreement, corporate restriction, judgment, decree or order, (b) is a party to any labor dispute affecting any bargaining unit or other group of employees generally, (c) is subject to any strike, slowdown, workout or other concerted interruptions of operations by employees of a Credit Party or any Subsidiary, whether or not relating to any labor contracts, (d) is subject to any pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened, unfair labor practice complaint, before the National Labor Relations Board, (e) is subject to any pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement, (f) is subject to any pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened significant strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage, or (g) is, to the knowledge of the Credit Parties, involved or subject to any union representation organizing or certification matter with respect to the employees of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, except (with respect to any matter specified in any of the above clauses) for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has suffered any strikes, walkouts or work stoppages in the five years preceding the Closing Date.
Section 5.19 Security Interests. Once executed and delivered, each of the Security Documents creates, as security for the Obligations (as defined herein or any corresponding term in any Security Documents), a valid and enforceable, and upon making the filings and recordings referenced in the next sentence, perfected security interest in and Lien on all of the Collateral subject thereto from time to time, in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, superior to and prior to the rights of all third persons and subject to no other Liens, except that the Collateral under the Security
64
Documents may be subject to Permitted Liens. No filings or recordings are required in order to perfect the security interests created under any Security Document except for filings or recordings required in connection with any such Security Document that shall have been made, or for which reasonably satisfactory arrangements have been made, upon or prior to the execution and delivery thereof. All recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable legal requirements or other laws applicable to the property encumbered by the Security Documents in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement thereof have been paid.

The factual information (taken as a whole) heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein, other than the Financial Projections (as to which representations are made only as provided in Section 5.07(b)), is, and all other such factual information (other than information of a general economic or general industry nature) (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of such Person in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not materially misleading at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided, except that all information consisting of financial projections prepared by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary is only represented herein as being based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by such persons to be reasonable at the time made.

The Borrower agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, upon request by the Administrative Agent, it will cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to cause the Real Properties owned by the respective Real Estate Subsidiaries (other than, so long as the Anderson Interim Loan Agreement is in effect, New Market-Anderson) to be refinanced and to use the Net Cash Proceeds of such Indebtedness to prepay the Loans, and, if the Revolving Commitments have not previously been terminated pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Total Revolving Commitment shall be permanently reduced on the date of any such prepayment by an amount equal to such prepayment.
Section 8.03 Application of Certain Payments and Proceeds. All payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender through the exercise of remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, unless otherwise required by the terms of the other Loan Documents or by applicable law, be applied as follows:
85
(i) first, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and expenses and other amounts (including attorneys’ fees and amounts due under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (i) payable to them;

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Related Parties’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Credit Party or any of its officers to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, e-mail or other electronic transmission, facsimile transmission, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the PAC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, as to any matter that, pursuant to Section 11.12, can only be effectuated with the consent of all Required Lenders, or all applicable Lenders, as the case may be), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the
88
Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
Section 9.06 Non-Reliance. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Credit Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial and other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.
Section 9.07 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (a) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (b) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying
89
to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (i) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (ii) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.
Section 9.09 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties, ratably according to their pro rata share of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure (excluding Swing Line Loans), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or such Related Parties under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by the Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent or any such Related Parties for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations.
Section 9.10 The Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Credit Parties, their respective Subsidiaries and their Affiliates as though not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by it and all Obligations owing to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 9.11 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon not less than 30 days notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no such successor is willing to accept such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
90
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including duties and obligations as the Swing Line Lender (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). Any resignation by the Administrative Agent shall also constitute resignation as the Swing Line Lender. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 9.12 Other Agents. Any Lender identified herein as a co-agent, syndication agent, documentation agent or any other corresponding title, other than “Administrative Agent,” shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document except those applicable to all Lenders as such. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking any action hereunder.
Section 9.13 Collateral Matters. The Administrative Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Agent Advances”) that the Administrative 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 Borrower of the Loans and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower or the other Credit Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 11.01. The Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder, shall be repayable on demand, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and the Borrower in writing of each such Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 9.09, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of each such Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.
Section 9.14 Agency for Perfection. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby appoints the Administrative 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 that, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, 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 the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender hereby appoints the
91
Administrative Agent for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s Liens on the Deposit Accounts or on any other deposit accounts or securities accounts of any Credit Party, in each case, at any time such Liens are requested by the Administrative Agent. Each Credit Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.
Section 9.15 Proof of Claim. The Lenders and the Borrower hereby agree that after the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(i), in case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower or any of the Guarantors) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent and other agents hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lenders or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. Further, nothing contained in this Section 9.15 shall affect or preclude the ability of any Lender to (i) file and prove such a claim in the event that the Administrative Agent has not acted within ten (10) days prior to any applicable bar date and (ii) require an amendment of the proof of claim to accurately reflect such Lender’s outstanding Obligations.
Section 9.16 Posting of Approved Electronic Communications.

(g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section other than, subject to Section 10.04, payment in full of all Borrower Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 10.04 Borrower Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration. The Borrower’s obligations under this Article X shall remain in full force and effect until the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the Borrower, any other Credit Party or other Subsidiary, under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party, the Borrower’s obligations under this Article with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.
Section 10.05 Waiver of Acceptance, etc. The Borrower irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any other Credit Party or any other Person, or against any collateral or guaranty of any other Person.
Section 10.06 Subrogation. Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of the Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Commitments hereunder, the Borrower shall have no rights, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment under this Section 10.06 to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against any other Credit Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by any such Credit Party in respect thereof.
95
Section 10.07 Effect of Stay. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Credit Party under any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any applicable agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Borrower under this Article forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.02 Indemnification. Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses reasonably incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto) related to the entering into and/or performance of any Loan Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated in any Loan Document, other than any such investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of transactions solely between any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, transactions solely involving the assignment by a Lender of all or a portion of its Loans and Revolving Commitments, or the granting of participations therein, as provided in this Agreement, or arising solely out of any examination of a Lender by any regulatory or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it that is not in any way related to the entering into and/or performance
96
of any Loan Document, or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property owned, leased or at any time operated by the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, the release, generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials at any location, whether or not owned or operated by the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries, if the Borrower or any such Subsidiary could have or is alleged to have any responsibility in respect thereof, the non-compliance of any such Real Property with foreign, federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable thereto, or any Environmental Claim asserted against any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in respect of any such Real Property, including, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, the reasonable documented fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses of any Indemnitee to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Credit Party shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.
Section 11.03 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower after any such set off and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.
Section 11.04 Equalization.
(a) Equalization. If at any time any Lender receives any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) that is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans (other than Swing Line Loans), Swing Line Loan Participations or Fees (other than Fees that are intended to be paid solely to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable to a Lender under Article III), of a sum that with respect to the
97
related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount. The provisions of this Section 11.04(a) shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
(b) Recovery of Amounts. If any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to subpart (a) above is recovered in whole or in part from such Lender, such original purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored ratably to the extent of the recovery.
(c) Consent of Borrower. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements in subpart (a) may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 11.05 Notices.
(a) Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subpart (c) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail as follows:

The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, in their discretion, agree in a separate writing to accept notices and other communications to them hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet web site shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the web site address therefor.
(d) Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to each of the other parties hereto in accordance with Section 11.05(a).
Section 11.06 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party thereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (b) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under any of the Revolving Facility Notes to an Eligible Assignee or any other Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries), provided that in the case of any such participation,
(i) the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including rights of consent, approval or waiver (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto),
(ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Revolving Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged,
99
(iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,
(iv) such Lender shall remain the holder of the Obligations owing to it and of any Revolving Facility Note issued to it for all purposes of this Agreement, and
(v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the selling Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that the participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III to the extent that such Lender would be entitled to such benefits if the participation had not been entered into or sold,
and, provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent (A) such participant is an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of the Lender granting the participations or (B) such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any of the Loans in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Revolving Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any such Revolving Commitment), (y) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, or release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the Obligations, except in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and, provided still further that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.02 and Section 3.03 with respect to its participation as if it was a Lender, except that a participant (i) shall deliver the forms described in Section 3.03(g) only to the Lender granting it such participation and (ii) agrees to be subject to Section 3.04 as though it were an assignee under subpart (c) of this Section and (iii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the participation, except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment arose from a Change in Law, after the participant became a participant hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.09 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its participants.
In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Loan, such Lender shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in such Loan and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Loan that is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A 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 a 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 Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in
100
registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c) Assignments by Lenders.
(i) Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, a fixed portion, of its Loans and/or Revolving Commitment and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that
(A) except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and/or Revolving Commitments or (y) an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes the Loans outstanding thereunder) shall not be less than $5,000,000;
(B) upon surrender of the old Revolving Facility Notes, if any, upon request of the new Lender, new Revolving Facility Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, to the extent needed to reflect the revised Revolving Commitments; and
(C) unless waived by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $4,500.
(ii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Commitments provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(iii) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), to a Person that is not already a Lender hereunder and that is not a U.S. Person for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the applicable Internal Revenue Service Forms (and any necessary additional documentation) described in Section 3.03(g).
(iv) With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any Revolving Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Revolving Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower) with respect to ownership of such Revolving Commitment and Loans, including the name and address of the Lenders and the principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Revolving Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Revolving
101
Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to this subpart (c). The Lender Register shall be available for the inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Nothing in this Section shall prevent or prohibit (A) any Lender that is a bank, trust company or other financial institution from pledging its Revolving Facility Note or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank or to any Person that extends credit to such Lender in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank or such other Person, or (B) any Lender that is a trust, limited liability company, partnership or other investment company from pledging its Revolving Facility Note or Loans to a trustee or agent for the benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities issued by it. No such pledge, or any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of an enforcement of such a pledge, shall relieve the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(vi) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, no Lender may assign, sell, negotiate or otherwise transfer (a “Sale”) its Loans and/or Revolving Commitment or participations in Swing Line Loans to Advisor, PAC REIT, any other Credit Party or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing.
(d) No SEC Registration or Blue Sky Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any State.
(e) Representations of Lenders. Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this Section will, upon its becoming party to this Agreement, represents that it is a commercial lender, other financial institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that makes or acquires loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the
102
ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that subject to the preceding Section 11.06(b) and (c), the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.
Section 11.07 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.
Section 11.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(C) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, except in connection with a transaction permitted under this Agreement;
(D) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.12, Section 8.03, or any other provision of any of the Loan Documents pursuant to which the consent or approval of all Lenders, or a number or specified percentage or other required
105
grouping of Lenders or Lenders having Revolving Commitments, is by the terms of such provision explicitly required;
(E) reduce the percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Required Lenders;
(F) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; or
(G) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.05(b), Section 2.12(b) or Section 2.12(e).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender. Any waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement given or made in accordance with this Section shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given or made. Any Event of Default occurring under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) No provision of Article IX may be amended without the consent of the Administrative Agent, and no provision of Section 2.03 may be amended without the consent of the Swing Line Lender.
(c) To the extent the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, as applicable, as shall be required by this Section) waive the provisions of Section 7.02 with respect to the sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral, or any Collateral is sold, transferred or disposed of as permitted by Section 7.02, (i) such Collateral (but not any proceeds thereof) shall be sold, transferred or disposed of free and clear of the Liens created by the respective Security Documents; (ii) if such Collateral includes all of the capital stock of a Subsidiary that is a party to the Guaranty or whose stock is pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement, such capital stock (but not any proceeds thereof) shall be released from the Security Agreement and such Subsidiary shall be released from the Guaranty; and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to take actions deemed appropriate by it in order to effectuate the foregoing.
(d) In no event shall the Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct the Administrative Agent to (i) accelerate and demand payment of the Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans or to terminate the Revolving Commitments of one or more Lenders without terminating the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders or (ii) enforce the remedies under any Buy-Sell Agreement. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any of the Loan Documents and without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, it will not take any legal action or institute any action or proceeding against any Credit Party with respect to any of the Obligations or Collateral, or accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of Lenders may exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, uniform commercial code sales or other similar sales or dispositions of any of the Collateral except as authorized by the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 11.12(d) or elsewhere herein, each
106
Lender shall be authorized to take such action to preserve or enforce its rights against any Credit Party where a deadline or limitation period is otherwise applicable and would, absent the taking of specified action, bar the enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender against such Credit Party, including the filing of proofs of claim in any insolvency proceeding.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.12, (x) Security Documents (including any Additional Security Documents) and related documents executed by Subsidiaries of the Borrower in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Person if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such Security Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (y) if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.
(f) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provisions hereof as contemplated by this Section 11.12 that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of a Lender whose consent is required shall not have been obtained (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 11.06(c), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Section 3.02 and any amounts accrued and owing to such Lender under Section 3.01(a)(i), Section 3.01(c), or Section 3.03), and (C) such Eligible Assignee shall consent at the time of such assignment to each matter in respect of which such Non-Consenting Lender did not consent. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender and is being replaced in accordance with this Section 11.12(e), it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence such assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Revolving Facility Notes previously delivered to such Non-Consenting Lender. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 11.13 Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities set forth herein including in Article III, Section 9.09 or Section 11.02 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Obligations.
Section 11.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender; provided, however, that the Borrower
107
shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 3.01 resulting from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section 3.04) to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer.
Section 11.15 Confidentiality.
(a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (1) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (2) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any Hedge Agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section, (3) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (4) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (5) to any other party to this Agreement, (6) to any other creditor of any Credit Party that is a direct or intended beneficiary of any of the Loan Documents, (7) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (8) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or in connection with transactions permitted pursuant to Section 11.06(c)(v), (9) with the consent of the Borrower, or (10) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.15, or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party and not otherwise in violation of this Section 11.15.
(b) As used in this Section, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower.
(c) Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Borrower hereby agrees that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section shall not relieve the Borrower, or any other Credit Party, of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 11.16 General Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by any Credit Party, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than actual compensatory damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, waive, release and agree not to sue or counterclaim upon any such claim for any special,
108
consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in their favor.
Section 11.17 No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such Person may act) retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to the Borrower, to any of its Subsidiaries, or to any other Person, with respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or related to their activities in connection with such representation. The Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters, all such claims and counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released and forever discharged.
Section 11.18 Lenders and Agent Not Fiduciary to Borrower, etc. The relationship among the PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no fiduciary or other special relationship with the PAC REIT and its Subsidiaries, and no term or provision of any Loan Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.
Section 11.19 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties herein shall survive the making of Loans hereunder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents the forms of which are attached as Exhibits hereto, the issue and delivery of the Notes, any disposition thereof by any holder thereof, and any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other holder of any of the Notes or on its behalf. All statements contained in any certificate or other document delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Notes by or on behalf of the PAC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or otherwise specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower hereunder, made as of the respective dates specified therein or, if no date is specified, as of the respective dates furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
Section 11.20 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 11.21 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action, event, condition or circumstance is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations or restrictions of, another covenant, shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or event, condition or circumstance exists.
Section 11.22 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the
109
maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Base Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 11.23 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and each other Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and each other Credit Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.
Section 11.24 Advertising and Publicity. No Credit Party shall issue or disseminate to the public (by advertisement, including any “tombstone” advertisement, press release or otherwise), submit for publication or otherwise cause or seek to publish any information describing the credit or other financial accommodations made available by the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed to prohibit any Credit Party from making any submission or filing which it is required to make by applicable law or pursuant to judicial process..
Section 11.25 Release of Guarantees and Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction permitted by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) under the circumstances described in the next succeeding sentence. When this Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations have been fully and finally discharged (other than obligations in respect of Designated Hedge Agreements and contingent indemnity obligations) and the obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, and the Credit Parties have delivered to the Administrative Agent a written release of all claims against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s sole expense, execute and deliver any termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of intellectual property, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are necessary or advisable to release, as of record, the Administrative Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations.
Section 11.26 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any Secured Creditor receives a payment from or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, from the proceeds of any Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.
110
Section 11.27 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety effective from and after the Closing Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation, release, impairment or discharge of the Existing Revolving Commitment or any of the obligations existing under the Existing Credit Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Existing Revolving Commitment and all other obligations of Borrower outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended, shall be deemed to be Revolving Commitments and obligations outstanding under this Agreement, without any further action by any Person.
Section 11.28 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
