The Borrower has requested the Lenders to extend credit in the form of Loans at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $25,000,000. The proceeds of the Loans are to be used solely for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries.
The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Definitions
SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below:
“ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.
“Acquired Indebtedness” shall mean, with respect to any specified person, (a) Indebtedness of any other person existing at the time such other person is merged with or into or becomes a subsidiary of such specified person, including Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other person merging with or into or becoming a subsidiary of such specified person, and (b) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified person.
“Adjusted EBITDA” for any period means the sum of Consolidated Net Income, plus the following to the extent deducted in calculating such Consolidated Net Income: (a) all income tax expense (benefit) for such period; plus (b) Consolidated Interest Expense for such period; plus (c) depreciation and amortization for such period; plus (d) vacation interest cost of sales for such period; plus (e) loss on extinguishment of debt for such period; plus (f) rebranding or restructuring costs and non-ordinary course expenses, in each case related to the Borrower’s European operations not to exceed an aggregate amount for all periods equal to $12,000,000; plus (g) impairments and other write-offs for such period; plus (h) loss on the sale of assets for such period; plus (i) amortization of loan origination costs for such period; plus (j) amortization of portfolio discount for such period; plus (k) any non-cash charges attributable to the FLRX Judgment or any Permitted FLRX Settlement; plus (l) all other non-cash charges for such period (excluding any such noncash charge to the extent that it represents an accrual of or reserve for cash expenditures in any future period); less (m) gain on the sale of assets for such period; less (n) amortization of portfolio premium for such period; less (o) to the extent not deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income for such period (or reflected in any previous non-cash charge referred to in clause (k) above), all cash payments made during such period attributable to the FLRX Judgment or any Permitted FLRX Settlement; less (p) all non-cash items of income for such period (excluding any noncash accruals of revenue in the ordinary course of business to the extent required by accrual-based accounting). Notwithstanding the foregoing, items specified in clauses (a) and (c) through (p) above (other than clauses (k) and (o) above) that are attributable to a Restricted Subsidiary shall be added to Consolidated Net Income to compute Adjusted EBITDA only to the extent (and in the same proportion, including by reason of minority interests) that such items of such Restricted Subsidiary were included in calculating Consolidated Net Income and only, with respect to items specified in clauses (a) and (c) through (l) above (other than clause (k) above), if a corresponding amount would be permitted at the date of determination to be dividended to the Borrower by such Restricted Subsidiary without prior approval (that has not been obtained), pursuant to the terms of its certificate
or articles of incorporation or other constitutive document or any agreement or instrument or any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority, in each case applicable to such Restricted Subsidiary or its stockholders.
“Adjusted LIBO Rate” shall mean, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum equal to the product of (a) the LIBO Rate in effect for such Interest Period and (b) Statutory Reserves.

If the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance
with the terms of the definition of Federal Funds Effective Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) or (c), as applicable, of the preceding sentence until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist.

ARTICLE II
The Credits
SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof, and until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s outstanding Loans exceeding such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Loans.
SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a)Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.
(b) Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any
Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than five Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.
(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short‑term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of
such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a)The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.04 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.
(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.
SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a)The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender for so long as, and with respect to the period during which, such Lender is a Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, quarterly in arrears, on
the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.75% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the applicable quarter (or other period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Maturity Date or the date on which the Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. All Commitment Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, the Commitment Fees shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Engagement Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”). The Administrative Agent Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Once paid, the Administrative Agent Fees shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a)Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If (a) the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, any Fee or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, by acceleration or otherwise, or (b) if any Event of Default under Article VII (other than paragraphs (b) or (c) thereunder, which shall be covered by clause (a) above) has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders so request, then, in the case of clause (a) above, from the date of such default and until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full or, in the case of clause (b) above, from the date of such request and until such Event of Default is no longer continuing, to the extent permitted by law, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (i) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days at all times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum.
SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Total Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans at the time.
(c) Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.
SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with
respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:
(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;
(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;
(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;
(iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;
(v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;
(vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; and
(vii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.
Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s
portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued as an ABR Borrowing.

(a)The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) on the Business Day of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 2:00 p.m., New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.
(b) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable unless conditioned upon a refinancing, in which case it shall still be subject to Section 2.16, and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 (other than prepayments of ABR Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Commitments) shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.
SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a)In the event of any termination of all the Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Borrowings. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Commitments or at any other time, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans would exceed the Total Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(b) All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above 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 certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.
SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or
maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:
(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and
(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.
In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.
SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date
of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower two decimal places.
SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (a) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, and (b) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans. Holdings and the Borrower expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by Holdings
and the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a)The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed received on the next Business Day (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.
(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to, but excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).
SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan 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 Loan 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.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan 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 copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f) 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 (d).
(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of 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 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 2.20(f)(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, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(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;
(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:
(1) 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 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 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;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)
of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of 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
(4) 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, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, 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 a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 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
(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.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.20 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 (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax 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.
(h) Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 2.20 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 Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(i) Defined Term. For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a)In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (v) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (v) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender, plus all Commitment Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a).
(b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.
The institution serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.
Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Secured Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08 or in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the other Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Secured Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08 or in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Holdings, the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent.
Subject to the provisions below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 acting as Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Each Lender hereby consents to and approves each and all of the provisions of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event any Loan Party incurs any obligations in respect of Indebtedness that is secured by Liens on any Collateral having second lien or more junior priority on such Collateral, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and irrevocably authorizes and directs the Agents to execute and deliver the same and to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies and perform its obligations thereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Agents on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof (subject, in the case of the Collateral, to the provisions of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement). In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions. The provisions of this paragraph are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or contribute a defense available to, any Loan Party.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the persons named on the cover page hereof as Joint Bookrunner and Joint Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity
as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each such person and its Affiliates shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, no such person, in its capacity as Joint Bookrunner or Joint Lead Arranger shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other person.

Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Holdings and the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Holdings and its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC”, unless Holdings or the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (A) the Loan Documents, (B) notification of changes in the terms of this Agreement and (C) all information delivered pursuant to Section 5.4.
Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference
to, and receive, Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Holdings and its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Holdings and the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by
the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.
SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must also give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that (A) the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall not be required to any such assignment made to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund and (B) the consent of the Borrower (1) shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (2) shall be deemed given unless the Borrower shall have objected to such assignment by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof), (ii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be not less than, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans); provided that simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and the parties to each such assignment (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund) shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may
be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable tax forms described in Section 2.20(e) and 2.20(f). Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Commitment Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee and is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement; (vii) such assignee appoints and authorizes
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (viii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms described in Section 2.20(e) and 2.20(f), the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).
(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the applicable banks or other persons acquired the applicable participation) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or person has an interest or releasing one or more Subsidiary Guarantors representing all or substantially all of the value of the aggregate Guarantees provided by the Subsidiary Guarantors or all or substantially all of the Collateral). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender 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.
(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.
(h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(j) Neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, including local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction.
(b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees to, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or the other Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) To the extent that Holdings or the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other
Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings or the Borrower in any case shall entitle Holdings or the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any other Loan Document or any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this Section or release one or more Subsidiary Guarantors representing all or substantially all of the value of the aggregate Guarantees provided by the Subsidiary Guarantors or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPC or (v) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as
the Commitments on the date hereof); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
(c) The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative or manifest errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender; provided, however, that no such amendment shall become effective until the fifth Business Day after it has been posted to the Lenders, and then only if the Required Lenders have not objected in writing thereto within such five Business Day period.
SECTION 9.09. 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 which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which 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 9.09 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.
SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other customary means of electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement
and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against Holdings, the Borrower or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, 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 Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Holdings or
any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower, (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16, (h) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the revolving credit facility provided hereunder or (i) to market data collectors or providers of similar services, providers to the lending industry and other service providers to the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from Holdings or the Borrower and related to Holdings or any Subsidiary, or their respective business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by Holdings or the Borrower; provided that, in the case of Information received from Holdings or the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord its own confidential information.
SECTION 9.17. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, in each case with respect to any Collateral owned by such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 9.17 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.
SECTION 9.18. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings and the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Holdings and the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Holdings and the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Annex A – Select Negative Covenants
SECTION 4.03. Limitation on Indebtedness. (1)The Company shall not and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor will be entitled to incur Indebtedness if, on the date of such incurrence and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio exceeds 2.0 to 1.0 (any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) being herein referred to as “Ratio Indebtedness”).
(a) Section 4.03(a) shall not apply to the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Indebtedness”):
(i) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility, including the Guarantees thereof by the Guarantors, in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $25,000,000 (any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the provisions set forth in this clause (i) being herein referred to as “Credit Facility Indebtedness”);
(ii) Indebtedness represented by the Notes issued on the Issue Date and the related Notes Guarantees;
(iii) Nonrecourse Indebtedness incurred by a Special Purpose Subsidiary under a Permitted Securitization and any Refinancing Indebtedness of such Special Purpose Subsidiary with respect thereto that is Nonrecourse Indebtedness;
(iv) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary existing on the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.03(b));
(v) Refinancing Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries to Refinance any Indebtedness that was incurred as Ratio Indebtedness or as Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to clause (ii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 4.03(b);
(vi) Indebtedness owing to and held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (A) if the Company or the Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Notes Obligations and (B)(1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being owed to or held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and (2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed, in each case, to
constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (vi);
(vii) Hedging Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;
(viii) Guarantees of the Notes and Guarantees of Indebtedness that was incurred as Ratio Indebtedness or as Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to clause (v) (to the extent the Refinanced Indebtedness was so guaranteed), (vii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xiii) or (xv) of this Section 4.03(b); provided, however, that if the Indebtedness being Guaranteed is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Notes Guarantee, then such Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Notes Guarantee to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;
(ix) Indebtedness constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance or self-insurance, or other Indebtedness with respect to obligations in the nature of reimbursement obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims;
(x) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case incurred in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary;
(xi) obligations in respect of performance, bid, appeal, surety and similar bonds and completion guarantees provided by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;
(xii) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of its incurrence;
(xiii) Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used or useful in a Related Business (where, in the case of a purchase, such purchase may be effected either directly or through the purchase of the Capital Stock of the Person owning such property, plant or equipment), and any Indebtedness incurred to Refinance such Indebtedness, in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $10,000,000;
(xiv) Acquired Indebtedness; provided, however, that, after giving effect to the merger or acquisition giving rise to the incurrence thereof, immediately after such merger or acquisition the Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Ratio Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a); and
(xv) additional Indebtedness of the Company, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not in excess $10,000,000.
(b) The Company and the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, incur any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to any Indebtedness of the Company, the Issuer or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated to the Notes or the applicable Notes Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or having a junior security interest in shared collateral.
(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03,
(i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness set forth in Section 4.03(b) or is entitled to be incurred as Ratio Indebtedness, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03, and such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) shall be treated as having been incurred pursuant to the provisions set forth in only one of such clauses or pursuant to Section 4.03(a); provided, however, that the Notes issued on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred as Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(ii);
(ii) the Company shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness set forth above; and
(iii) any Permitted Indebtedness originally classified as incurred pursuant to the provisions set forth in one of the clauses of Section 4.03(b) (other than pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 4.03(b)) may later be reclassified by the Company such that it shall be deemed to have been incurred as Ratio Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or as Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to another clause of Section 4.03(b), as applicable, to the extent that such reclassified Indebtedness could be incurred pursuant to such paragraph or clause at the time of such reclassification.
(d) Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness of the same instrument, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in interest rates or in the exchange rate of currencies shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Indenture. Guarantees of, or
obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided, however, that the incurrence of the Indebtedness underlying such Guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was subject to and in compliance with this Section 4.03.
(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a currency agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars shall be as provided in such currency agreement. The maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in interest rates or the exchange rate of currencies.
SECTION 4.04. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly,
(i) declare or pay any dividends or make any other distributions of any sort in respect of its Equity Interests (including any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving such Person) or similar payment to the direct or indirect holders of its Equity Interests (other than (A) dividends or distributions payable solely in Qualified Equity Interests of the Company, (B) dividends or distributions payable solely to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and (C) pro rata dividends or other distributions made by a Subsidiary that is not a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary to minority stockholders (or owners of minority interests in the case of a Subsidiary that is an entity other than a corporation));
(ii) purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or make any other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company held by any Person (other than by a Restricted Subsidiary) or of any Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary held by any Affiliate of the Company (other than by a Restricted Subsidiary), including in connection with any merger or consolidation and including the exercise of any option to exchange any Equity Interests (other than into Qualified Equity Interests of the Company);
(iii) purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or make any other acquisition or retirement for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment, principal installment or scheduled sinking fund payment of any Subordinated Obligations of the Company, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than (A) from the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or (B) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of
Subordinated Obligations purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement); or
(iv) make any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) in any Person,
(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 4.04(a) being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”) unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:
(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);
(2) the Company is entitled to Incur an additional $1.00 of Ratio Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a); and
(3) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments since the Issue Date would not exceed the sum of (without duplication):
(A) 50.0% of the Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from April 1, 2010 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to the date of such Restricted Payment (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100.0% of such deficit); plus
(B) 100.0% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds or Fair Market Value of any asset (other than cash) received by the Company either (x) from the issuance or sale of its Qualified Equity Interests subsequent to the Issue Date (but excluding the issuance or sale of Qualified Equity Interests in the Concurrent Equity Transaction) or (y) as a contribution in respect of its Qualified Equity Interests from its equity holders subsequent to the Issue Date, but excluding in each case any Net Cash Proceeds that are used to redeem Notes in accordance with Section 3.07(c) or are used to purchase Notes in accordance with a Public Offering Offer; plus
(C) the amount by which the principal amount of Indebtedness of the Company (other than Nonrecourse Indebtedness and Indebtedness owing to a Subsidiary) is reduced upon the conversion or exchange subsequent to the Issue Date of any Indebtedness of the Company converted or exchanged for Qualified Equity Interests of the Company (less the amount of any cash, or the fair value of any other property, distributed by the Company upon such conversion or exchange); provided, however, that the foregoing amount shall not exceed the gross proceeds
(prior to fees and transaction expenses) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the sale of such Indebtedness (excluding such gross proceeds from sales to a Subsidiary of the Company or to a Company Equity Plan); plus
(D) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of cash and the Fair Market Value of any asset (other than cash) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date with respect to Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any Person subsequent to the Issue Date and resulting from repurchases, repayments, liquidations or redemptions of such Investments by such Person, proceeds realized on the sale of such Investment and proceeds representing the return of capital, and (y) in the event that the Company redesignates an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary, the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments (excluding Permitted Investments) previously made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary.
(b) The foregoing provisions shall not prohibit:
(i) any Restricted Payment made out of the Net Cash Proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, or made in exchange for, Qualified Equity Interests of the Company or a substantially concurrent cash capital contribution received by the Company from its equity holders with respect to its Qualified Equity Interests, including the Concurrent Equity Transaction; provided, however, that (A) such Restricted Payment shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments and (B) the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale or such cash capital contribution (to the extent so used for such Restricted Payment) shall be excluded from the calculation of amounts under Section 4.04(a)(3)(B);
(ii) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Obligations of a Person made in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent incurrence of, Indebtedness of such Person which is permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;
(iii) the payment of any dividend, distribution or redemption of any Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof or call for redemption if, at such date of declaration or call for redemption,
such payment or redemption was permitted by Section 4.04(a) (the declaration of such payment shall be deemed a Restricted Payment under Section 4.04(a) as of the date of declaration and the payment itself shall be deemed to have been paid on such date of declaration and shall not also be deemed a Restricted Payment under Section 4.04(a)); provided, however, that any Restricted Payment made in reliance on the provisions set forth in this clause (iii) shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(3) only once;
(iv) the declaration and payments of dividends on Disqualified Stock issued pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that such dividends shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;
(v) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options if such Equity Interests represents a portion of the exercise price of such options; provided, however, that such Restricted Payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;
(vi) cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Interests of the Company in an aggregate amount not in excess of $500,000; provided, however, that any such cash payment shall not be for the purpose of evading the limitation of this Section 4.04 (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors); provided further, however, that such payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;
(vii) in the event of a Change of Control, and if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance, discharge, cash-collateralization or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations, in each case, at a purchase price not greater than 101.0% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Obligations, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided, however, that prior to such payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance, discharge, cash-collateralization or other acquisition or retirement, the Company (or a third party to the extent permitted by this Indenture) has made a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes as a result of such Change of Control and has repurchased (or deposited with the Trustee funds sufficient to repurchase) all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with such Change of Control Offer; provided further, however, that such payments, purchases, redemptions, defeasances, discharges, cash-collateralizations or other acquisitions or retirements shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;
(viii) payments of intercompany subordinated Permitted Indebtedness, the incurrence of which was permitted by Section 4.03(b)(vi); provided, however, with respect to payments other than to the Company or a Guarantor, that no Default has occurred and is continuing or would otherwise result therefrom;
provided further, however, that such payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payment;
(ix) for each taxable year, distributions to each direct or indirect equity owner of the Company (each, a “Company Holder”) to satisfy U.S. Federal, state and local income tax obligations of such Company Holder for such taxable year in an amount not to exceed the lesser of:
(A) the amount of tax distributions provided for in the limited liability company agreement of the Company as in effect on the Issue Date; and
(B) an amount which, when combined with all other tax distributions to such Company Holder in the current and all preceding taxable years, equals the product of the highest combined U.S. Federal, state and local marginal income tax rate applicable to any Company Holder (taking into account the deductibility of state and local income taxes for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) and the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate net taxable income attributable to the Company and allocated to such Company Holder in the current and all preceding taxable years over (ii) the aggregate net taxable loss attributable to the Company and allocated to such Company Holder in all preceding taxable years;
provided, however, that the Company may make such distributions after the end of the taxable year or may make quarterly distributions during the taxable year (subject to adjustment after the end of the year) to reflect estimated tax obligations of the Company Holders provided that such quarterly distributions shall not, when taken together, exceed the annual limitations set forth in this Section 4.04(b)(ix); and provided further, however, that any amounts distributed to a Company Holder pursuant to this Section 4.04(b)(ix) shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; or
(x) other Restricted Payments in an amount which, when taken together with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (x), does not exceed $5,000,000; provided, however, that such Restricted Payment shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments.
(c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the assets (other than cash) proposed to be transferred. In the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions set forth in clauses (i) through (x) of Section 4.04(b) or is permitted to be made by Section 4.04(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, may divide and classify such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this Section 4.04.
SECTION 4.05. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:
(i) (A) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries on its Equity Interests or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or (B) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries,
(ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries, or
(iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries,
except, in each case, for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
(1) this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents;
(2) agreements existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Issue Date;
(3) applicable law;
(4) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness or Equity Interests of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided, however, that, in the case of an instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;
(5) other Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to an agreement governing such Indebtedness, incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary and permitted to be incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03, if (i) the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement taken as a whole are not materially more restrictive to the applicable Restricted Subsidiary than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements described in clause (1) or (2) of this Section 4.05 (as determined in good faith by the Company), or (ii) such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more restrictive to the applicable Restricted Subsidiary than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Company) and either (x) the Company determines in
good faith that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make the principal or interest payments on the Notes or (y) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness;
(6) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;
(7) purchase money obligations for property or assets acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature set forth in clause (iii) of this Section 4.05 on the property or assets so acquired;
(8) any encumbrance or restriction in an agreement effecting a Refinancing of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (1), (2), (4) or (5) of this Section 4.05 or this clause (8) or contained in any amendment to an agreement enumerated in such clause (1), (2), (4) or (5) or this clause (8); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such refinancing agreement or amendment are not materially less favorable to the Company (as determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable and good faith judgment) than encumbrances and restrictions contained in such predecessor agreements;
(9) the requirements of any Permitted Securitization that are exclusively applicable to any bankruptcy remote Special Purpose Subsidiary formed in connection therewith;
(10) the requirements of any Standard Securitization Undertakings;
(11) in the case of clause (iii) of this Section 4.05, restrictions contained in security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such restrictions restrict the transfer of the property subject to the Liens created thereby, or to the extent not constituting Collateral, the Equity Interests of the Person whose assets consist, directly or indirectly, primarily of the real property securing such Indebtedness; provided, however, that such Liens were otherwise permitted to be incurred under this Indenture;
(12) restrictions with respect to any Investment imposed in connection with the making of such Investment;
(13) any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or disposition; or
(14) assignment provisions and provisions with respect to the distribution of assets or property or joint venture or partnership interests in joint venture or partnership agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that are customary for such agreements; provided, however, that such provisions in the aggregate, in the opinion of the management of the Company, do not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to make principal or interest payments on the Notes.
SECTION 4.06. Limitation on Asset Sales. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;
(ii) at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents;
(iii) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale is applied by the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be):
(A) to the extent the Company elects, to acquire Replacement Assets within one year from the later of the date of such Asset Sale or the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; and
(B) to the extent of the balance of such Net Cash Proceeds after application in accordance with clause (A) above, to make an offer to the Holders of the Notes (and to holders of other Applicable Senior Indebtedness designated by the Company) to purchase Notes (and such other Applicable Senior Indebtedness) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in this Indenture; provided, however, that in connection with any purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (B), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall permanently retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so purchased; and
(iv) on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Asset Sale, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom).
(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.06(a), the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be required to apply any Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this Section 4.06 except
to the extent that the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from all Asset Sales which are not applied in accordance with this covenant exceeds $10,000,000. Pending application of Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.06, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be invested in cash or Cash Equivalents or applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit Indebtedness.
For the purposes of this Section 4.06, the following are deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents:
(1) the assumption or discharge of Applicable Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale;
(2) any securities received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of receipt thereof, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and
(3) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (3) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed an amount equal to $10,000,000 at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).
The requirement of Section 4.06(a)(iii)(A) will be deemed to be satisfied if an agreement committing to make the acquisitions or expenditures referred to therein is entered into by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary within the time period specified in such clause and such Net Cash Proceeds is subsequently applied in accordance with such agreement within six months following the date of such agreement.
(c) In the event of an Asset Sale that requires the purchase of Notes (and other Applicable Senior Indebtedness) pursuant to clause (a)(iii)(B) of this Section 4.06, the Issuer will purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an offer by the Issuer for the Notes (and such other Applicable Senior Indebtedness) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other Applicable Senior Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest (or, in respect of such other Applicable Senior Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Applicable Senior Indebtedness) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture. If the aggregate purchase price of the Indebtedness tendered exceeds the Net Cash Proceeds allotted to its purchase, the Issuer will select the Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis but in round denominations, which in the case of the Notes will be denominations of $2,000 principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer shall not be required to make such an offer to purchase Notes (and other Applicable Senior Indebtedness) pursuant to this covenant if the Net Cash Proceeds available therefor is less than $15,000,000 (which lesser amount shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether such an offer is required with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds from any subsequent Asset Sale). Upon
completion of such an offer to purchase, any remaining Net Cash Proceeds may be applied by the Company for any purpose otherwise permitted by this Indenture, and the amount of Net Cash Proceeds shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of the offer made pursuant to this Section 4.06(c).
The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.06. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.06, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.06 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.
SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:
(i) the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate; or
(ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $1,000,000, the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction have determined in good faith that the criteria set forth in clause (1) are satisfied and have approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a resolution of such Board of Directors; and
(iii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $2,500,000, the Board of Directors of the Company shall also have received a written opinion from an Independent Qualified Party to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or is not less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person who was not an Affiliate; provided, however, that such an opinion shall not be required for (x) a management contract entered into between the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary provides services to such Unrestricted Subsidiary for a fee or other consideration so long as the owners of any other equity interests in such Unrestricted Subsidiary are not Affiliates (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (any such Unrestricted Subsidiary being herein referred to as a
“Special Unrestricted Subsidiary”) or (y) transactions with Guggenheim providing for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other lending or investment banking activities.
(b) Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to the following:
(A) any employment, consulting, service, indemnification, termination or severance agreement or compensation plan or arrangement entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and the transactions customarily provided for by any such agreement, plan or arrangement;
(B) reasonable compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including retirement, health, stock option and other benefit plans and transactions contemplated thereby) for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
(C) transactions between or among the Company and/or any Restricted Subsidiaries;
(D) any transaction with any non-Affiliate that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction;
(E) (x) any agreement existing on the Issue Date, as in effect on the Issue Date, or as modified, amended, amended and restated, supplemented or replaced so long as the terms of such agreement as modified, amended, amended and restated, supplemented or replaced, taken as a whole, are not materially more disadvantageous to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, than the terms of such agreement as in effect on the Issue Date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, and (y) any transaction provided for by any such agreement;
(F) loans or advances to employees or consultants (other than to a Permitted Holder) in the ordinary course of business or approved by the Board of Directors, but in any event not to exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate outstanding at any one time, and cancellation or forgiveness or modification of the terms of such loans or advances;
(G) the issuance or sale of any Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company;
(H) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary solely because the Company directly or indirectly owns Equity Interests in, or controls, such Affiliate, other than transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries;
(I) the transfer of Timeshare Loans and related rights and assets in connection with any Permitted Securitization, and any other transaction effected in the ordinary course as part of a Permitted Securitization;
(J) any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) or other Restricted Payment, in each case permitted to be made pursuant to (but only to the extent included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments made pursuant to) paragraph (a)(3) of Section 4.04; and
(K) the acquisition of Vacation Interests and any related rights from a Special Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the entire consideration for such acquisition consists of cash proceeds that have been received from the sale by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of Vacation Interests representing the Vacation Interests being so acquired.
SECTION 4.08. Limitation on Line of Business. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than Related Businesses.
SECTION 4.12. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind upon any of their assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, other than:
(i) in the case of any asset that does not constitute Collateral, Permitted Liens; provided, however, that any Lien on such asset shall be permitted notwithstanding that it is not a Permitted Lien if all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien; and
(ii) in the case of any asset that constitutes Collateral, Permitted Collateral Liens.
In the case of the proviso in clause (i) of this Section 4.12, if the obligations so secured are expressly subordinated by their terms to the Notes, the Lien securing such obligations shall also be so subordinated by its terms at least to the same extent.
SECTION 4.15. Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property unless:
(i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to (A) incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.03 and (B) create a Lien
on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.12;
(ii) the net proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such property; and
(iii) the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 4.06.
SECTION 5.01. Mergers or Asset Transfers. (a) Neither the Company, Intermediate Holdco nor the Issuer shall consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, another Person unless:
(i) the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer, as the case may be, is the surviving entity (which in the case of the Issuer must be a corporation) or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer, as the case may be) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer, as the case may be) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the obligations of the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer, as the case may be, under this Indenture and with respect to the Notes or its Notes Guarantee, as the case may be, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;
(iii) except in the case of a merger or consolidation of the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, immediately before and after such transaction no Default has occurred and is continuing; and
(iv) except in the case of a merger or consolidation of the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer, as the case may be), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made shall, at the time of such transaction and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction had occurred at the end of the applicable fiscal quarter, either (A) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Ratio Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or
(B) have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio no less than that of the Company at such time without giving such pro forma effect thereto.
Upon the consummation of any transaction effected in accordance with this Section 5.01(a), if the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer, as the case may be, is not the continuing Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer, as applicable, under this Indenture and with respect to the Notes or its Notes Guarantee, as the case may be, with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer, as applicable, in this Indenture. Upon such substitution the Company, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer, as applicable, except in the case of a lease, shall be released from its obligations under this Indenture, and with respect to the Notes or its Notes Guarantee, as the case may be, and the Security Documents.
(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than any Guarantor whose Notes Guarantee is to be released in accordance with Section 10.06) shall not, and the Company shall not cause or permit any such Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge with or into any Person other than the Company, the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor unless:
(i) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;
(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee;
(iii) immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction, no Default has occurred and is continuing; and
(iv) except in the case of a merger or consolidation of a Guarantor with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the use of any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the Company could satisfy Section 5.01(a)(iv).
(c) The following additional conditions shall apply to each transaction set forth in Sections 5.01(a) and 5.01(b):
(i) the Company, Intermediate Holdco, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantor or the relevant surviving entity, as applicable, shall cause such amendments or other instruments to be filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Lien of the Security Documents on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such Person, together with such financing statements as may be required to perfect any security interests
in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant states;
(ii) the Collateral owned by or transferred to the Company, Intermediate Holdco, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantor or the relevant surviving entity, as applicable, shall
(1) continue to constitute Collateral under the Security Documents and this Indenture;
(2) be subject to the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent (to the extent that such Lien is not prohibited by any related Acquired Indebtedness that is secured by such assets); and
(3) not be subject to any Lien other than Liens permitted by the Security Documents and this Indenture;
(iii) the assets of the Person which is merged or consolidated with or into the relevant surviving entity, to the extent that they are assets of the types which would constitute Collateral under the Security Documents and which would be required to be pledged thereunder, shall be treated as after–acquired property and such surviving entity shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to cause such assets to be made subject to the Lien of the Security Documents in the manner and to the extent required in the Security Documents and this Indenture; and
(iv) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with the applicable provisions of this Indenture and, with respect to the Officers’ Certificate only, that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied and, with respect to the Opinion of Counsel only, that such supplemental indenture and Security Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable, subject to customary qualifications;
provided, however, that clauses (iii) and (iv) of each of Sections 5.01(a) and 5.01(b) shall not be applicable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary merging with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in another permitted jurisdiction.

Schedule 3.09
Litigation
FLRX Litigation
FLRX is a defendant in a lawsuit originally filed in July 2003, alleging the breach of certain contractual terms relating to the obligations under a stock purchase agreement for the acquisition of FLRX in 1998, as well as certain violations under applicable consumer protection acts. FLRX currently conducts no operations and has no material assets other than an indirect interest in two undeveloped real estate parcels in Mexico. In January 2010, following a jury trial, a Washington state court entered a judgment against FLRX, awarded plaintiffs damages of $30.0 million plus post-judgment interest at a rate of 12% per annum and attorney’s fees of approximately $1.5 million plus accrued interest, and ordered specific performance of certain ongoing contractual obligations pursuant to the breach of contract claim.
FLRX appealed the verdict. On November 14, 2011, we received notice that the Court of Appeals for the State of Washington affirmed the lower court decision upholding the judgment against FLRX. On February 27, 2012, FLRX filed a petition for review with the State Supreme Court. On June 6, 2012, the petition was denied. Any liability in this matter is not covered by insurance. Neither Diamond Resorts Corporation nor any of its other subsidiaries is party to this lawsuit. Sunterra Corporation was originally named as a defendant in this matter, but it was later dismissed from the case. It is possible that FLRX may at some point determine to file for protection under the Federal Bankruptcy Code.
In April 2012, the plaintiffs in the FLRX case filed a lawsuit in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington against Diamond LLC and Diamond Resorts Corporation. The complaint, which alleges two claims for alter ego and fraudulent conveyance, seeks to hold Diamond Resorts Parent, LLC and Diamond Resorts Corporation liable for the judgment entered against FLRX. Plaintiffs claim that the defendants manipulated the corporate form of FLRX and caused fraudulent transfers of assets from FLRX.
On May 18, 2012, the case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, Case No. 2:12-cv-00870. On August 29, 2012, Diamond Resorts Corporation filed an answer to the complaint, denying all material allegations therein and raising various affirmative defenses. On September 24, 2012, the court entered an order dismissing Diamond LLC. The court has set the case for trial on December 3, 2013. The parties are currently engaged in written discovery. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims. Although we believe that we will not have any material liability when these matters are ultimately resolved, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had an estimated litigation accrual of $1.1 million in accrued liabilities, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, which represents the write-down of FLRX’s investment in subsidiaries to $0. Legal fees associated with these cases are expensed as incurred.

accruals of revenue in the ordinary course of business to the extent required by accrualbased
accounting). Notwithstanding the foregoing, items specified in clauses (a) and (c)
through (p) above (other than clauses (k) and (o) above) that are attributable to a
Restricted Subsidiary shall be added to Consolidated Net Income to compute Adjusted
EBITDA only to the extent (and in the same proportion, including by reason of minority
interests) that such items of such Restricted Subsidiary were included in calculating
Consolidated Net Income and only, with respect to items specified in clauses (a) and (c)
through (l) above (other than clause (k) above), if a corresponding amount would be

Restricted Subsidiary without prior approval (that has not been obtained), pursuant to the
terms of its certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive document or any
agreement or instrument or any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation or order of
any court or other Governmental Authority, in each case applicable to such Restricted
Subsidiary or its stockholders.

Interest Settlement Rates (or to any replacement market convention therefor selected by
the Administrative Agent) for deposits in dollars (as set forth by any service or vendor

error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to
obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition of Federal
Funds Effective Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Alternate Base Rate shall be
determined without regard to clause (b) or (c), as applicable, of the preceding sentence
until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the

limiting paragraph (m) of Article VII hereof, the sale, lease, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the Borrower and the other
Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall be governed by the provisions set forth in
Section 5.01 of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and not by those set forth in Section
4.06 of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, in each case as incorporated by reference
herein pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof);
(b) any issue or sale by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Restricted
Subsidiary to any person (other than Holdings, the Borrower or any other Restricted

Subsidiary to any person (other than Holdings, the Borrower or any other Restricted

transactions that have a Fair Market Value in excess of $1,000,000 or for net proceeds in
excess of $1,000,000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Asset Sale” shall not include (i) a disposition

Section 6.01 hereof, (vi) any surrender or waiver of contract rights or a settlement,

Lien not prohibited by this Agreement and any foreclosure or exercise in respect thereof.

business (including, for clarity, the reorganization transactions in respect of
Holdings and Diamond Resorts Parent, LLC as described in the Registration
Statement), Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period
shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the incurrence
of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first
day of such period; and
(v) if since the beginning of such period any person (that subsequently
became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into Holdings, the
Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period)
shall have made any Asset Sale, any Investment or acquisition of assets that
would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) above if made
by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary during such period,
Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be
calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Sale, Investment
or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period.
For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition
of assets, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of
Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness incurred in connection
therewith, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a Financial
Officer of Holdings. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being
given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate
in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period
(taking into account any interest rate hedging agreement applicable to such Indebtedness
if such agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness is
incurred under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest
on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on the average daily balance of such
Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro forma calculation to the extent
that such Indebtedness was incurred solely for working capital purposes.

The Credits

upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally
and not jointly, to make Loans to the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or
after the date hereof, and until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the
Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in the aggregate principal
amount of such Lender’s outstanding Loans exceeding such Lender’s Commitment.
Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions
and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow
Loans.
SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing
consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall
not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being
understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Loans
comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral
multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available
balance of the applicable Commitments.
(b) Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised
entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to
Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any
domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that
any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such
Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one
Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall
not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than five
Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing,
Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on
the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.
(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the
proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in
New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 4:00 p.m., New
York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so
received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request
or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein
specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective
Lenders.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the
Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c)
above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative
Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not
have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such
amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid
to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to
the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in
the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its
cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such
Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall
not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect
thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three
Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing,
not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of the proposed Borrowing.
Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed
promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing
Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be
a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which
shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are
to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a
Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested
Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as
to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing
shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar
Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03
(and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower
hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender on the
Maturity Date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account
or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from
each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal
and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and, if applicable, the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from
Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b)
and (c) of this Section 2.04 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of
the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any
manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their
terms.
(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a
promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall
request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at
all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to
Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee
named therein or its registered assigns.
SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (other
than a Defaulting Lender for so long as, and with respect to the period during which, such
Lender is a Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, quarterly in arrears,
on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on
each date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as
provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.75% per annum on
the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the applicable quarter
(or other period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Maturity Date or the
date on which the Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All
Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in
a year of 360 days. All Commitment Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among
the Lenders. Once paid, the Commitment Fees shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account,
the administrative fees set forth in the Engagement Letter at the times and in the amounts
specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”). The Administrative Agent Fees
shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative
Agent for its own account. Once paid, the Administrative Agent Fees shall not be
refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, and calculated
from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment
thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
Percentage in effect from time to time.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage
in effect from time to time.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates
applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable
Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an
Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and
such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If (a) the Borrower shall default in the
payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, any Fee or any other amount due
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, by acceleration or otherwise, or (b) if any
Event of Default under Article VII (other than paragraphs (b) or (c) thereunder, which
shall be covered by clause (a) above) has occurred and is continuing and the Required
Lenders so request, then, in the case of clause (a) above, from the date of such default and
until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full or, in the case of clause (b)
above, from the date of such request and until such Event of Default is no longer
continuing, to the extent permitted by law, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment),
payable on demand, (i) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such
Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) in all other cases, at a rate
per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of
360 days at all times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus
2.00% per annum.
SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion,
that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for
a Eurodollar Borrowing (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined that dollar
deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not
generally available in the London interbank market or that reasonable means do not exist
for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders shall have determined that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being
offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or
maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent
shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to
the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the
Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for
a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request
for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this
Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The
Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to
the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate,
or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however,
that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of
$500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Total Commitment shall not be
reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Loans at the time.
(c) Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each
termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so
terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.
SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower
shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent
(a) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of conversion, to convert any
Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York
City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR
Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a
Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 2:00 p.m.,
New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest
Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period,
subject in each case to the following:
(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the
Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans
comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;
(ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing
shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the
limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal
amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;
(iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the
Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan
of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion
thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount;
accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall
be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;
(iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand,
any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;
(v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less
than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar
Borrowing;
(vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into
or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding
clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect
for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; and
(vii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at
the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be
converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.
Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to
this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the
Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be
converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such
notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day)
and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing,
the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such
notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this
Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If
the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue
any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given
notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing
shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the
terms hereof), automatically be continued as an ABR Borrowing.
SECTION 2.11. RESERVED
SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at
any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at
least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly
confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax
notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) on the Business
Day of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before
2:00 p.m., New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than
$1,000,000.
(b) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the
principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be
irrevocable unless conditioned upon a refinancing, in which case it shall still be subject to
Section 2.16, and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount
stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 (other
than prepayments of ABR Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or
permanent reduction of the Commitments) shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise
without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be
accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but
excluding the date of payment.
SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of
all the Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or
prepay all its outstanding Borrowings. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of
the Commitments or at any other time, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Loans would exceed the Total Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such
reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Borrowings in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such excess.
(b) All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to
Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be
accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but
excluding the date of payment.
SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is
reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate), (ii) impose on such Lender or the London
interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or
Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other
than (A) Excluded Taxes and (B) Indemnified Taxes), assessments or other charges on
its loans, loan principal, commitments 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 Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender at the time set forth in paragraph
(c) of this Section 2.14 such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding
capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made pursuant hereto
to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies
and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and
liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in
paragraph (a) or (b) above 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 certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant
to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to
compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs
or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such
request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the
circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such
circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such
increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not
apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any
Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection of this Section shall be
available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or
inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.
SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or
maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby
with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the
Administrative Agent:
(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for
the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be
continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for
such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a
Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar
Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest
Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a
request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to
convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such
declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and
(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made
by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall
be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice
as provided in paragraph (b) below.
In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all
payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay
the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted
Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made
by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender
shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last
day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such
notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.
SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against
any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any
event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations
hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any
amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest
Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or
the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case
other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar
Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to
a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such
Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in
this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any
payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage
Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by
such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject
of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last
day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over
(ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds
released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate
of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise set forth herein, each
Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of
interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the
Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any
Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments shall have
expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their
outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any
Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round
each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower two decimal
places.
SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through
the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any
other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the
United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured
claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or
involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal
portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the
Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from
such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase
price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in
the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then
outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien,
setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding
prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided,
however, that (a) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made
pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be
recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of
such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest,
and (b) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment
made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of
or sale of a participation in any of its Loans. Holdings and the Borrower expressly
consent to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation
in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by Holdings and
the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a
Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment
(including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts)
hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or
counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its
offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed received on
the next Business Day (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and any applicable
interest shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to
each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such
Lender.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment
(including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts)
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would
occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.
(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such
payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to, but
excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).
SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by
or on account of any obligation of any Loan 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 Loan 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.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall timely pay
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the
option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other
Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan 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 copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified
Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not
already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without
limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such
Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f) 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 (d).
(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by
any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Loan
Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.
(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of 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
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 2.20(f)(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, in the event that the
Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(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;
(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:
(1) 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 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 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;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such
Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of 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
(4) 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, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, 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 a U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 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
(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.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this
Section 2.20 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 (g) (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event
that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event
will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party
pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in
a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if
the Tax 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.
(h) Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 2.20 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 Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(i) Defined Term. For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “applicable law”
includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances;
Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting
compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in
Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (v) any Lender
refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan
Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of
the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other
modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, then, in each case, the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and
recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall
assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (v) above, shall consent to
such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document (which
Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided
that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any
court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee
shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to
the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the
outstanding Loans of such Lender, plus all Commitment Fees and other amounts accrued
for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts
under Sections 2.14 and 2.16); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and
assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for
compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant
to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs
or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease
to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being
payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken
by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right
to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or
event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further
payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to
the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then
such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment
hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power
of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of
such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any
assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by
this Section 2.21(a).
(b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any
Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay
any Indemnified Taxes or any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender shall
use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss
or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its
internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden
deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably
requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer
its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or
assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to
withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing
or assignment, delegation and transfer.

SECTION 3.12. Investment Company Act. None of Holdings, the Borrower or
any other Restricted Subsidiary is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to
regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
SECTION 3.13. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the
Loans only for the purposes specified in the introductory statement to this Agreement and

tax returns or materials required to have been filed by it with a Governmental Authority
and has paid or caused to be paid all material taxes due and payable by it and all
assessments received by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as

material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were, are or will be made, not misleading; provided that to the extent
any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule was based upon or

such forecasts and projections were made available to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender.
SECTION 3.16. Employee Benefit Plans. (a) The Borrower and each of its

ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together
with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material
liability of the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates. The present value of all benefit
liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting
Standard Codifications No. 715, as amended or revised from time to time) did not, as of
the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $1,000,000 the fair
market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of
all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting
Standard Codifications No. 715, as amended or revised from time to time) did not, as of
the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed by more than $1,000,000 the
fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.
(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance with all requirements of law
applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such

result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of
Holdings or its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or
agents has engaged in a transaction that could subject Holdings, the Borrower or any
other Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty that could reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With
respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial
statements furnished to Lenders in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with
applicable law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with
ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Pension Plan is
maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities with respect to such Foreign Pension
Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; the present
value of the aggregate accumulated benefit liabilities of all such Foreign Pension Plans
(based on those assumptions used to fund each such Foreign Pension Plan) did not, as of
the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the
assets of all such Foreign Pension Plans by an amount that, if required to be paid by
Holdings and the Subsidiaries, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.17. Environmental Matters. (a) Except as set forth in
Schedule 3.17 and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, none
of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply
with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or
other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any
Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any
Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.
(b) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of
the matters disclosed on Schedule 3.17 that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted
in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.18. Insurance. Schedule 3.18 sets forth a true, complete and correct
description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower and the
other Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. As of such date, such insurance is in
full force and effect and all premiums have been duly paid. Holdings, the Borrower and
the other Restricted Subsidiaries have insurance in such amounts and covering such risks
and liabilities as are in accordance with normal industry practice.
SECTION 3.19. Security Documents. (a) The Security Agreement, upon
execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Collateral
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable
security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) and the proceeds
thereof and when financing statements or other filings in appropriate form are filed in the
offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a) (or, in the case of Collateral delivered after the date
hereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.12, in the appropriate filing
offices), the Lien created under the Security Agreement will constitute a fully perfected
Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such
Collateral (other than Intellectual Property), in each case prior and superior in right to any
other person, other than Permitted Liens that may take priority as a matter of law, and as
otherwise provided in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement.
(b) Upon the recordation of the Security Agreement (or a short-form security
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
United States Copyright Office, together with the financing statements or such other
filings in appropriate form filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a) (or, in the
case of Collateral delivered after the date hereof in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.12, in the appropriate filing offices), the Lien created under the Security
Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right,
title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property registered or applied for
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or Copyrights (as defined in the
Security Agreement) registered or applied for with the United States Copyright Office, as
the case may be, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person other than
Permitted Liens that may take priority as a matter of law, and as otherwise provided in
the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that subsequent recordings in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office
may be necessary to perfect a Lien on registered or applied for Patents, Trademarks or
Copyrights (each as defined in the Security Agreement), acquired by the Loan Parties
after the date hereof).
SECTION 3.20. Labor Matters. As of the Closing Date, there are no strikes,
lockouts or slowdowns against Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary pending
or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened. The hours worked by and
payments made to employees of Holdings, the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries have
not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal,
state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, except any violations that could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. All payments due from Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, or for
which any claim may be made against Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary,
on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have
been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings, the Borrower or such other
Subsidiary. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of
termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective
bargaining agreement to which Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary is bound.
SECTION 3.21. Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the
Transactions to occur on the Closing Date and immediately following the making of each
Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan (if any) on
the Closing Date, (a) the fair value of the assets of Holdings, the Borrower and the other

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the
Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to
such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including
releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Secured Parties with respect
thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the Security Documents.
The institution serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with
Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not
an Agent hereunder.
Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither
Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and
powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise
by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Secured
Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08 or in the
Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable), and (c) except as expressly set forth in
the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable
for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of
the other Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates in any capacity.
Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at
the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders
or Secured Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.08 or in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable) or in the absence of its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent
by Holdings, the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document,
or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan
Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to
such Agent.
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or
other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper
person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such subagent
may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such
sub-agent.
Subject to the provisions below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying
the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall
be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no
successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by
the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such
resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all
the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such
time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or
Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent
hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 acting as Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.
Each Lender hereby consents to and approves each and all of the provisions of the
Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event any Loan Party incurs any
obligations in respect of Indebtedness that is secured by Liens on any Collateral having
second lien or more junior priority on such Collateral, the Junior Lien Intercreditor
Agreement and irrevocably authorizes and directs the Agents to execute and deliver the
same and to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies and perform its obligations
thereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right individually
to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it
being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents may be exercised solely by the Agents on behalf of the Secured Parties in
accordance with the terms thereof (subject, in the case of the Collateral, to the provisions
of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement). In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral
Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition,
any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such
sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the
Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual
capacities) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment
of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use
and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any
Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or
other disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by
its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations
provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions. The
provisions of this paragraph are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford
any right to, or contribute a defense available to, any Loan Party.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any
other Loan Document, each of the persons named on the cover page hereof as Joint
Bookrunner and Joint Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and
in its capacity as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each
such person and its Affiliates shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement
rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without
limitation of the foregoing, no such person, in its capacity as Joint Bookrunner or Joint
Lead Arranger shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any
fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other person.

of the applicable person provided from time to time by such person.
Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by
the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not
been provided by the Administrative Agent to Holdings and the Borrower, that it will, or
will cause the other Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information,
documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article V, including all notices,
requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other
information materials, but excluding any such communication that (a) is or relates to a

directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, each of Holdings and the Borrower
agrees, and agrees to cause the other Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the
Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the
manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the
Administrative Agent.
Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the
Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information
provided by or on behalf of it hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all
information delivered pursuant to Section 5.4) (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”)
by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the
“Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders
that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings and
its Subsidiaries or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each of Holdings and the
Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to
Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a
minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page
thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Holdings and the Borrower shall
be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such
Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to
Holdings and its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal and
state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials
constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16); (iii) all
Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a
portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as
being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public
Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be
deemed to be marked “PUBLIC”, unless Holdings or the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public
information: (A) the Loan Documents, (B) notification of changes in the terms of this
Agreement and (C) all information delivered pursuant to Section 5.4.
Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such
Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar
designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such
Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance
procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws,
to make reference to, and receive, Communications that are not made available through
the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material nonpublic
information with respect to Holdings and its Subsidiaries or their securities for
purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS
THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE
ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS
LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM
FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN
CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO
EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED
PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR
ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT
BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR
EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT
OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION
OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A
COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY
FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the
Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective
delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan
Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next
sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall
constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the
Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing
(including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail
address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the
foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any
other manner specified in such Loan Document.
SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by Holdings and the Borrower herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon
by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of
any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or
any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is
outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The
provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force
and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the
expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by
or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.
SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and
when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any
of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and
agreements by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns.
(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) each of
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must also give its prior written consent to
such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
(provided that (A) the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall not be
required to any such assignment made to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a
Related Fund and (B) the consent of the Borrower (1) shall not be required after the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (2) shall be deemed
given unless the Borrower shall have objected to such assignment by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof),
(ii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be not less than,
$1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or
Loans); provided that simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds shall
be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement
is met, (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system
acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative
Agent, manually), and the parties to each such assignment (except in the case of an
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund) shall pay to the
Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be
waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and (iv) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit
contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public
information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities)
will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the
assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state
securities laws) and all applicable tax forms described in Section 2.20(e) and 2.20(f).
Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the
remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Commitment Fees
accrued for its account and not yet paid).
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning
Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender
warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby
free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding
balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which
have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance,
(ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the
financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or the performance
or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of any of its obligations
under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible
Assignee and is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;
(iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with
copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered
pursuant to Section 5.04, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis
and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
such assigning Lender 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 decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee agrees to be bound
by the terms of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement; (vii) such assignee appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (viii) such assignee
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the
terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative
Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a
Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above,
if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the
Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms described in Section 2.20(e)
and 2.20(f), the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance
and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be
effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).
(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other persons in all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other persons shall be entitled to the benefit of
the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 (subject to the
requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(f) (it
being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered
to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect
to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the
participation to such participant, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a
greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the applicable banks or
other persons acquired the applicable participation) and (iv) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the
obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees
payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or
the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or
person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for
the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an
interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or
person has an interest or releasing one or more Subsidiary Guarantors representing all or
substantially all of the value of the aggregate Guarantees provided by the Subsidiary
Guarantors or all or substantially all of the Collateral). Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant
and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in obligations
under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have
any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person
(including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s
interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under this Agreement)
except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,
loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United
States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, and such Lender 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.
(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04,
disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information
relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower;
provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as
confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall
execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to
customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on
terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.
(h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations
owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”),
identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any
part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a
commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such
option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender
shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan
by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same
extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto
hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation
under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In
furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall
survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one
day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior
indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in
instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any
SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a
portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions
(consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or
credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of
Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its
Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee
or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(j) Neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or
duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower
agrees to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby
contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made
hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, including local
counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction.
(b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees to, jointly and severally,
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the
foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold
each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties
thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the
Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds
of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether
such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of
Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by
Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to Holdings, the Borrower or the other Subsidiaries; provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) To the extent that Holdings or the Borrower fails to pay any amount required
to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section,
each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed
expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may
be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor the Borrower
shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use
of the proceeds thereof.
(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force
and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the
expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by
or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All
amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time,
except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness
at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the
Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrower now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be
unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or
right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings
or the Borrower in any case shall entitle Holdings or the Borrower to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any other Loan
Document or any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the
Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the
principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or
date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment
or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written
consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the
Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender
without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata
requirements of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this
Section or release one or more Subsidiary Guarantors representing all or substantially all
of the value of the aggregate Guarantees provided by the Subsidiary Guarantors or all or
substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each
Lender, (iv) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of
Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPC or (v) reduce the percentage
contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written
consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required
Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in
the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the
Commitments on the date hereof); provided further that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or
under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent.
(c) The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document
to correct administrative or manifest errors or omissions, or to effect administrative
changes that are not adverse to any Lender; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall become effective until the fifth Business Day after it has been posted to the Lenders,
and then only if the Required Lenders have not objected in writing thereto within such
five Business Day period.
SECTION 9.09. 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 which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable
law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) which 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 9.09 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by
such Lender.
SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter
hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing
in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to
confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and
the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO
HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY
WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION 9.11.
SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any
other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
(and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute
an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and
shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature
page to this Agreement by facsimile or other customary means of electronic transmission
(e.g., “pdf”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this
Agreement.
SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in
interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of
Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of
the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any
thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State
or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided
by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against Holdings, the Borrower
or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State
or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in
the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect
the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each of the
Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors,
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 Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory
authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the
extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights
hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially
the same as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or
participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to Holdings or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower, (g) to the extent such Information
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16, (h) to
the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and
monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the revolving credit facility provided
hereunder or (i) to market data collectors or providers of similar services, providers to the
lending industry and other service providers to the Administrative Agent in connection
with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information
received from Holdings or the Borrower and related to Holdings or any Subsidiary, or
their respective business, other than any such information that was available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by
Holdings or the Borrower; provided that, in the case of Information received from
Holdings or the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at
the time of delivery as confidential. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality
of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 shall be considered to have complied with
its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain
the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord its own confidential
information.
SECTION 9.17. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or
institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against
any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the
exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or
other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence
any remedial procedures, in each case with respect to any Collateral owned by such Loan
Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 9.17
are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a
defense available to, any Loan Party.
SECTION 9.18. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies
Holdings and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act,
it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings and the
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Holdings and the
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent,
as applicable, to identify Holdings and the Borrower in accordance with the USA
PATRIOT Act.

Exhibit A to the
Security Agreement
SUPPLEMENT NO. [●] (this “Supplement”) dated as of [●], 20[●] to the Security Agreement dated as of September 11, 2013 (the “Security Agreement”), among DIAMOND RESORTS CORPORATION, a Maryland Corporation (the “Borrower”), DIAMOND RESORTS INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware
corporation (“Holdings”), the other Subsidiaries of Holdings from time to time party thereto (each such Subsidiary individually a “Subsidiary Grantor” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Grantors”; the Subsidiary Grantors, the Borrower and Holdings are referred to collectively herein as the “Grantors”) and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as collateral agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined therein).
A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of September 11, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Holdings, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”). The Lenders have agreed to extend credit to the Borrower pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in, the Credit Agreement.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement, as applicable.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans. Section 6.16 of the Security Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of Holdings may become Subsidiary Grantor under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Grantor under the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and as consideration for Loans previously made.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.16 of the Security Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a “Subsidiary Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of (i) any and all Equity Interests and Pledged Debt Securities now owned by the New Subsidiary and (ii) any and all Intellectual Property now owned by the New Subsidiary and (b) set forth under its signature hereto, is the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary and its jurisdiction of organization.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Security Agreement) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Subsidiary shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of September 11, 2013 (this “Agreement”), among DIAMOND RESORTS CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation (the “Borrower”), DIAMOND RESORTS INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), the Subsidiaries of Holdings from time to time party hereto and CREDIT SUISSE AG, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with it successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of September 11, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Holdings, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent. The Lenders have agreed to extend credit to the Borrower pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in, the Credit Agreement.
The obligations of the Lenders to extend credit to the Borrower are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Borrower, Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Guarantor is an affiliate of the Borrower, will derive substantial benefits from the extension of credit to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and each Guarantor is willing to execute and deliver this Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to extend such credit. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE II
Guarantee
SECTION 2.01. Guarantee. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, by way of independent payment obligation, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from such Guarantor, and that such Guarantor will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any Obligation, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 2.02. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any Collateral held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other person. Each Guarantor further agrees that, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, subject, in the case of enforcing against any Collateral, to the Security Agreement and the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, institute legal proceedings directly against such Guarantor without first proceeding against the Borrower.
SECTION 2.03. No Limitations, Etc. (a) Except for the limitations set forth in Section 2.07 and/or the termination or release of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 5.13, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligations of each Guarantor shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement (other than the termination or release of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 5.13), including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, (iii) the release or any impairment of or failure to perfect any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party as security for any of the Obligations, (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, (v) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations, (vi) except as expressly set forth in Section 5.13, any change in ownership of such Guarantor or (vii) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). Each Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent may take and hold any Collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations, may exchange, waive or release any or all such Collateral (with or without consideration), may enforce or apply such Collateral and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in its sole discretion or may release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party (including any defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral) or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election and to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents and by applicable law, foreclose on any Collateral held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any Collateral.
SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise.
SECTION 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent pay, or cause to be paid,
in cash, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties, the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article III.
SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Loan Party’s financial condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
SECTION 2.07. Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Agreement, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable laws relating to financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
ARTICLE III
Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination
SECTION 3.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3.03), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part a claim of any Secured Party, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.
SECTION 3.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 3.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Obligation or assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 3.01, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to (a) the amount of such payment or (ii) the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 5.14, the date of the
supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 3.01 to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 3.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and all other rights of the Guarantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of its obligations hereunder.
(b) The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agree that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations.
ARTICLE IV
Representations and Warranties
Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that (a) the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Agreement are within such Guarantor’s corporate or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational and, if required, stockholder or other equityholder action, and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability, and (b) as of the date hereof, all representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement as to such Guarantor are true and correct.
ARTICLE V
Miscellaneous
SECTION 5.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 5.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan, any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated.
SECTION 5.03. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder.
SECTION 5.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns.
SECTION 5.05. Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder in accordance with Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Loan Party jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and each Related Party of any of the Secured Parties against, and hold each Secured Party and its Related Parties harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Secured Party and its Related Parties incurred by or asserted against any Secured Party or its Related Parties arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Secured Party or any of its Related Parties is a party thereto or whether initiated by a third party or by any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof; provided that such indemnity shall not,
as to any Secured Party or any of its Related Parties, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Secured Party or such Related Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives any claim against any Secured Party and its Related Parties, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loans or the use of proceeds thereof.
(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations guaranteed hereunder and secured by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 5.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 5.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor and shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 2.06(a) of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 5.06. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 5.07. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.07, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan under the Credit Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver,
amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 5.08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.08.
SECTION 5.09. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 5.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 5.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 5.12. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each Guarantor agrees that a final judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.12. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 5.13. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement and the guarantees made herein shall terminate when all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement.
(b) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary.
(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.05, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for all costs and out of pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.13.
SECTION 5.14. Additional Guarantors. Any Subsidiary that is required to become a party hereto pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement shall enter into this Agreement as a Guarantor and a Subsidiary Guarantor. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and such Subsidiary of a supplement in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Supplement”), such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor and Subsidiary Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any Supplement shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 5.15. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 5.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.

The Lenders have agreed to extend credit to the Borrower pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in, the Credit Agreement.

The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor and a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and as consideration for Loans previously made.
Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.14 of the Guarantee Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Guarantor and a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and a Subsidiary Guarantor, and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor and a Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor and a Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date. Each reference to a “Guarantor” or a “Subsidiary
Guarantor” in the Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Guarantee Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guarantee Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Guarantee Agreement) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Subsidiary shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

Re: | $25,000,000 Diamond Resorts Corporation Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Facility") |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Diamond Resorts Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), Diamond Resorts Holdings, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Holdings"), Diamond Resorts International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), each of the direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries of the Company (each, a "Subsidiary, and collectively, the "Subsidiaries"), which are guaranteeing the payment and performance of the Obligations, as indicated on Schedule 2 (and, together with Parent and Holdings, each, a "Guarantor" and collectively, the "Guarantors"), in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 11, 2013 (the "Agreement") among the Company, Parent, the Lenders and Credit Suisse AG, as Administrative Agent, governing the extension of credit under the Facility by the Lenders to and for the benefit of the Company, as described in the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents itemized on Schedule 3 attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the "Transaction"). This opinion is being rendered at the request of the Company, together with Holdings, Parent and the other Guarantors (collectively, the "Loan Parties") and is being delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(i) of the Agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Agreement or the Security of Agreement, as defined below, as applicable .
In connection with this opinion, we have examined copies or forms of each of the Transaction Documents, each dated, unless otherwise noted, as of the date hereof.
We have examined the original or certified copies of those limited liability company, partnership, corporate and other records, agreements and instruments of the Loan Parties, certificates of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Loan Parties, and such other documents and records, and those matters of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. The partnership agreements, limited liability company agreements, certificates or articles of incorporation or formation, by-laws, operating agreements and the other organizational documents of the Loan Parties, including those listed on Schedule 4, are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Organizational Documents." As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established by us, relied upon the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Transaction Documents.
In making such examination, with your permission, we have assumed:
| |
(i) | the genuineness of all signatures other than those of the Loan Parties; |
| |
(ii) | all natural persons who are signatories to the Transaction Documents have sufficient legal competency to enter into and perform their respective obligations thereunder; and the copies of all documents submitted to us are accurate and complete and conform to originals; |
| |
(iii) | that each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Loan Parties) has the power to enter into and perform each of its respective obligations thereunder; |
| |
(iv) | the due authorization, execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by each of the parties thereto (other than the Loan Parties); |
| |
(v) | the accuracy of representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Transaction Documents as to factual matters only (and not as to legal conclusions); |
| |
(vi) | the conduct of the parties to the Transaction Documents complies with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing, conscionability and commercial reasonableness; |
| |
(vii) | there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence with respect to any party. |
We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the "NY-UCC"), the Limited Liability Company Act as in effect in the State of Delaware, the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act as in effect in the State of Delaware, the General Corporation Law as in effect in the State of Delaware, the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware (the "DE-UCC"; and the NY-UCC and the DE-UCC are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "UCC") and federal statutes of the United States (collectively, the "Subject Laws"). As to all matters regarding the existence and good standing of Loan Parties organized under the laws of the States of Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Maryland, Missouri and Washington, we have relied upon the applicable Organizational Documents of such Loan Party. As to all matters regarding the laws of the States of Maryland, California, Arizona and Nevada, we have relied exclusively, without further investigation, upon the opinion of Ballard Spahr LLP, dated as of the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. As to all matters regarding the laws of the State of Florida, we have relied exclusively, without further investigation, upon the opinion of Holland & Knight, dated as of the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. As to all matters regarding the laws of the State of Hawaii, we have relied exclusively, without further investigation, upon the opinion of Imanaka Asato LLLC, dated as of the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C. As to all matters regarding the laws of the State of Missouri, we have relied exclusively, without further investigation. upon the opinion of Summers Compton Wells LLC, dated as of the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. The opinions attached as Exhibits A through D are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Local Opinions."
We have reviewed and have relied upon, and assume for all purposes of this opinion the completeness and accuracy of, National Corporate Research, Ltd. 's lien search reports for the Loan Parties (collectively, the "UCC Search Reports"), which were ordered by the Loan Parties. We confirm that the UCC Search Reports set forth the proper filing offices as to each Loan Party and the proper debtors (which we assume are only the Loan Parties) necessary to identify those persons who, under the applicable UCC, have on file financing statements against the searched parties covering the Collateral as of various dates through the date hereof. We confirm that the UCC Search Reports identify no Person that filed any such financing statement describing any collateral that does or could include the Collateral except as set forth in the summary of the various financing statements and secured parties attached hereto as Exhibit E (collectively, the "Filed Statements").
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the comments and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
| |
1 | The Company is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland. Parent is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Holdings is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. Each other Loan Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation, as delineated in Schedule 2. Each Loan Party has all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability power and authority to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. |
| |
2 | Each Loan Party is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, to transact business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than jurisdictions in which the failure so to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. |
| |
3 | The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the performance by it of its obligations thereunder, the obtaining of credit thereunder, the guarantee of the Obligations and the grant of security interests pursuant to the Transaction Documents do not (a) violate the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party, (b) violate any law, rule or regulation of the United States of America, the State of New York or the respective jurisdiction of organization of each Loan Party that we, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Loan Parties or the Transaction, or generally applicable to transactions similar to the Transaction, or ( c) to our knowledge, result in a breach of or a default under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing indebtedness, or any other agreement or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which any of its assets are bound. |
| |
4 | None of the Loan Parties is in violation of its respective charter or by-laws or in default (or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would be in default) under any existing obligation agreement, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, lease or other agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of the properties of any of them is subject, |
except such defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
| |
5. | The Transaction Documents have each been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party thereto. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject in each case to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. |
(a) The execution and delivery by each Guarantor of the Guarantee Agreement and
the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all corporate,
partnership or limited liability company action on the part of such Guarantor and has been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor. The Guarantee of each Guarantor constitutes valid and legally binding obligations of such Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
| |
(b) | The execution and delivery by each of the Company and each Guarantor of the Security Agreement, the performance of its obligations thereunder and the grant of security interests pursuant thereto have been duly authorized by all corporate, partnership or limited liability company action on the part of the Company and each of the Guarantors and constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company and each of the Guarantors enforceable against the Company and each of the Guarantors, in accordance with its terms and entitled to the benefits and security provided by the Transaction Documents. The Security Agreement, when duly executed and delivered, will create valid and (when all required filings and recordings with respect to, and deliveries of, Collateral have been made as described in the Security Agreement) perfected security interests in the Collateral (subject to the exceptions contemplated or permitted by the Agreement and the Security Agreement). Upon timely delivery to the Collateral Agent of the Pledged Securities (to the extent not previously delivered to the Collateral Agent) in the State of New York, endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers endorsed to the Collateral Agent or in blank, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, will have a security interest in the Pledged Securities perfected by control of the Pledged Securities under the NY-UCC. Upon the execution and delivery of the Security Agreement and Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent will have, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in the Pledged Securities delivered to the Collateral Agent prior to the date hereof pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes Documents, perfected by control of such Pledged Securities under the NY -UCC. Subject to the terms of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, no interest of any other creditor of such applicable grantor. |
| |
(c) | The execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Agreement, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than the Security Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement) to which it is a party, the performance of its obligations thereunder and the grant of security interests pursuant to such Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all corporate, partnership or limited liability action on the part of such Loan Party. The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantors. |
| |
(d) | Each of the Financing Statements attached hereto in Annex A to be filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware is in proper form for filing with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware. The filing of the Financing Statements in the office of the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware are the only filings necessary to perfect by filing the security interest in those items of the Collateral covered by Article 9 of the DE-UCC as described in such Financing Statement which is owned by the applicable Delaware-formed Loan Party. |
| |
6. | No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any person (including any governmental agency or body or any court) is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in connection with the Transaction, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders and registrations or qualifications (i) as have been |
obtained on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) with respect to the perfection of security interests in the Collateral.
| |
7. | Assuming that the Company complies with the provisions of the Agreement relating to the use of proceeds of Loans under the Facility, the execution and delivery of the Agreement by the Company and Parent and the extension of credit under the Agreement and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. |
| |
8. | None of the Loan Parties is, and after giving effect to the making and borrowing of Loans under the Facility and the application of the proceeds thereof, no Loan Party shall be an "investment company" as defmed in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. |
| |
9. | To our knowledge, other than as set forth in the schedules to the Transaction Documents, there are no pending actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that, if determined adversely to the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries, would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company or the Guarantors to perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents or which are otherwise material in the context of the Transaction; and no such actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or, to our knowledge, contemplated. |
| |
10. | To our knowledge, the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or, except for the Security Agreement, result in the imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries pursuant to the charter or by-laws of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries, any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their properties or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the properties of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries is subject, or the charter or by-laws of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries. |
| |
11. | To our knowledge, the Company, the Guarantors and their respective subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real properties and all other properties and assets owned by them, in each case free from liens, charges, encumbrances and defects that would materially affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them, except (i) as disclosed in the schedules to the Transaction Documents, (ii) as created pursuant to the Security Agreement or (iii) liens permitted under the Agreement and the Security Agreement; and, except as disclosed in the schedule to the Transaction Documents, the Company, the Guarantors and their respective subsidiaries hold any leased real or personal property under valid and enforceable leases with no terms or provisions that would materially interfere with the use made, or to be made, thereof by them. |
| |
12. | All the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary of the Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non--assessable and all of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Company's subsidiaries |
are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, free and clear of any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, restriction on voting or transfer or any other claim of any third party, except for those created pursuant to the Security Agreement and as disclosed in the schedules to the Transaction Documents.
The opinions expressed in Paragraph 5(b) are subject to the following additional qualifications:
(i) We call your attention to the fact that the Collateral Agent's security interest in the Collateral may be subject to the rights of account debtors in respect of the Collateral, claims and defenses of such account debtors and the terms of agreements with such account debtors.
(ii) We have assumed that none of the Collateral arises or will arise under agreements that prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of any portion of the Collateral. We express no opinion as to the effect of any such prohibitions, restrictions or conditions on assignment contained in any account, lease, instrument, chattel paper, payment intangible, health care receivable or letter of credit right. We note that any such prohibition or restriction is subject to the provisions of Sections 9-406,9-407,9-408 and 9-409 of the applicable UCC.
The opinions expressed above are, in addition to any other assumptions, comments or qualification set forth in this letter, subject to the following qualifications and comments:
(a) There may be possible limitations imposed by law (together with associated delays and costs of enforcement) upon the exercise of certain provisions of any or all of the Transaction Documents, provided that such limitations do not, in our opinion, make the remedies and provisions (taken as a whole) contained in the Transaction Documents invalid as a whole or, subject to increased costs and delay that may be occasioned by such limitations, rendered inadequate for the practical realization of the material rights and benefits afforded thereby.
(b) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any rights to contribution or indemnification provided for in the Transaction Documents which are violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation).
(c) In connection with our opinions expressed in Paragraph 5(b) above, the provisions of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would prevent the Collateral Agent from extending its security interest to property acquired by any Loan Party after the commencement by or against such Loan Party of a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, unless such property constitutes proceeds, products, offspring, rents or profits of property owned by such Loan Party, prior to commencement of any such case.
(d) Continuation of the validity, perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent's security interest in proceeds of any Collateral is limited to the extent set forth in Section 9-315 of the UCC.
(e) Article 9 of the UCC requires the filing of continuation statements within specified periods prior to the expiration of five years from the date of the original filing in order to maintain the perfection of the filings referred to in Paragraph 5(b).
(f) In the case of Collateral acquired by any Loan Party more than a specified period after such Loan Party changes its name, identity or corporate structure as to make UCC Financing Statements seriously misleading, the security interest will not be perfected or have priority unless new appropriate financing statements indicating the new name, identity or corporate structure of the appropriate Loan

To: The Parties on the Attached Exhibit A
Re: Diamond Resorts Corporation $25,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to the parties listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (collectively, the "Covered Entities") in connection with the transactions described in that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 11,2013 (the "Credit Agreement"), among Diamond Resorts Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Borrower"), Diamond Resorts International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("DRI"), the Lenders named therein (the "Lenders"), and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, "Administrative Agent"), relating to

documents (collectively, the "Documents"), each dated, unless otherwise noted, as of the

(11) The Officer's Certificate of the applicable officers of the Covered
Entities (the "Officer's Certificate").
The documents listed above in paragraphs (1) through (7) are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Transaction Documents." The articles or certificates of organization or incorporation, the operating agreements or limited liability company agreements and by-laws of the Covered Entities described above in items (8) and (9) above and listed on Schedule 2 attached hereto are referred to herein collectively as the "Organizational Documents." The good standing certificates described above in item (l0) above and
listed on Schedule 2 are referred to herein collectively as the "Good Standing Certificates. "
We have examined certificates of public officials and such other documents and records and those matters of law as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. We have not examined any records of any court, administrative tribunal or other similar entity in connection with our opinion.
As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established by us, relied upon the representations and warranties of the Covered Entities contained in the Documents.
The terms "AZ Corporate Entity," "CA Corporate Entities," "CA LLC Entities," "MD Corporate Entity," "NV Corporate Entities," and "NV LLC Entities" are designated in Schedule 2 hereto. The AZ Corporate Entity, the CA Corporate Entities, the MD Corporate Entity and the NY Corporate Entities are collectively referred to herein as the "Covered Corporate Entities." The CA LLC Entities and the NV LLC Entities are collectively referred to herein as the "Covered LLC Entities."
Our opinions are expressly limited to:
(i) the laws of the State Arizona under the Arizona Business Corporation Act (Title 10, Chapters 1 through 17 of the Arizona Revised Statutes) (the "AZ Corporation Act") in the case of the AZ Corporate Entity;
(ii) the laws of the State of California under the General Corporation Law (Corporations Code §100 et seq.) (the "CA GCL") in the case of the CA Corporate Entities, and the laws of the State of California under the Beverly-Killea Limited Liability Company Act (Corporations Code § 17000 et seq.) (the "CA LLC Act") in the case of the CA LLC Entities;
(iii) the laws of the State of Maryland under the Maryland General Corporation Law (Titles I through 3, inclusive, of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland (the "MD Corporate Act") in the case of the MD Corporate Entity;
(iv) the laws of the State of Nevada under the Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 78, Private Corporations (the "NV Corporate Code") in the case of the NV Corporate Entities, the laws of the State of Nevada under the Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 86, Limited-Liability Companies (the "NV LLC Statutes") in the case of the NV LLC Entities; and
(v) (i) the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Arizona (the "Arizona UCC"), (ii) the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of California (the "California UCC"), (iii) the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Maryland pursuant to Title 1 through Title 9 of the Commercial Law Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland (the "Maryland UCC"), and (iv) the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Nevada (the "Nevada UCC"), but solely as
to the perfection requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code in such states.
The Applicable Laws (as defined below) under the AZ Corporation Act, the CA GCL, the CA LLC Act, the MD Corporate Act, the NV Corporate Code, the NV LLC Statutes, the Arizona UCC, the California UCC, the Maryland UCC and the Nevada UCC are collectively referred to herein as the "Covered Laws." As used herein, the term "Applicable Laws" means all present statutes, rules or regulations which in our experience are normally applicable both to entities that are not engaged in regulated business activities and to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Security Agreement provides that all references to the Uniform Commercial Code shall mean the New York UCC. In addition, the Transaction Documents purport to be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Notwithstanding the choice of law in the Transaction Documents, (1) our opinion in paragraph 8 is given as if the Arizona UCC, the California UCC, the Maryland UCC and the Nevada UCC govern the Security Agreement and Arizona Financing Statements, the Security Agreement and California Financing Statements, the Security Agreement and Maryland Financing Statement and the Security Agreement and Nevada Financing Statements, respectively, and (2) all other opinions herein are provided under the Covered Laws only. Further, we assume that the result of the application of New York law as specified in the Transaction Documents will not be contrary to a fundamental policy of the law of any other state with which the parties may have material or relevant contact in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and as to which there is a materially greater
interest in determining an issue of the choice of law.
In making such examination, with your permission, we have assumed:
(i) the genuineness of all signatures other than those of representatives of the
Covered Entities;
| |
(ii) | that all natural persons who are signatories to the Documents have sufficient legal competency to enter into and perform their respective |

| |
(v) | the due execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by each of the parties thereto (other than the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities); |
| |
(vi) | the due authorization of each of the Transaction Documents by each of the parties thereto other than the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities; |
| |
(vii) | that the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities) will not violate the Organizational Documents of such entity; |
| |
(viii) | the accuracy of representations and warranties of the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities set forth in the Transaction Documents as to factual matters only (and not as to legal conclusions); and that the conduct of the parties to the Transaction Documents complies with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing, conscionability and commercial reasonableness; |
| |
(ix) | that there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence with respect to any party; |
| |
(x) | that (i) each of the Secured Parties (as defined below) has given adequate value for the liens and security interests granted by the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities under the Transaction Documents, (ii) the security interests granted by the Borrower and the Covered Guarantor Entities under the Transaction Documents have been properly created, (iii) each of the debtors named in the Financing Statements owns the collateral |
described in such Financing Statements, has good title to such collateral, such collateral exists and each such debtor has, or has the power to transfer, rights within the meaning of the Applicable UCC (as defined below) in such collateral, (iv) the descriptions of the collateral in, or attached as schedules to, the Financing Statements, sufficiently describe
the collateral intended to be covered by the Financing Statements, (v) each debtor named in the Financing Statements is organized solely under the state of its organization as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, as the case may be, (vi) the MD Corporate Entity is not a "transmitting utility" as defined in Section 9-102 of the Maryland UCC (vii) the Financing Statements will be duly and properly filed in the applicable Filing Office,
and (viii) the Financing Statements accurately state the correct name of the Secured Party and the correct address of the Secured Party from which information concerning the security interest to be perfected thereby may be obtained; and
| |
(xi) | the NV Corporate Entities and NV LLC Entities do not engage in the business of gaming, liquor, financial institutions, public utilities, insurance or cemeteries. |
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the comments and qualifications set forth
below, we are of the opinion that:
1. Based solely on the applicable Organizational Documents and the respective Good Standing Certificates, each of the AZ Corporate Entity, the CA Corporate Entities, the MD Corporate Entity and the NV Corporate Entities is duly incorporated and validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the States of Arizona, California, Maryland, and Nevada, respectively, with full power to own its existing properties and conduct its business pursuant to its respective
Organizational Documents as identified on Schedule 2.
2. Based solely on the applicable Organizational Documents and the respective Good Standing Certificates, each of the CA LLC Entities and the NV LLC Entities is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the States of California and Nevada, respectively, with full power to own its existing properties and conduct its business pursuant to its respective Organizational Documents as identified on Schedule 2.
3. Each of the Borrower and each Covered Guarantor Entity has all necessary corporate or limited liability company (as applicable) power and authority to execute and deliver and perform its respective obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
4. Based solely on the respective Good Standing Certificates, each Covered Entity is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or foreign limited liability company, as applicable, to transact business and is in good standing in the jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 3 next to each Covered Entity.
5. The execution and delivery by each of the Borrower and each Covered Guarantor Entity of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or limited liability company (as applicable) action on the part of the Borrower and each Covered Guarantor Entity.
6. The execution and delivery by each of the Borrower and each Covered Guarantor Entity of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, as of the date hereof: (a) violate the applicable Organizational Documents of the Borrower or such Covered Guarantor Entity, (b) to our knowledge, violate any Covered Law that we have, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as being directly applicable to the Borrower or such Covered Guarantor Entity or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or (c) violate any judgment, order or decree of any Arizona, California, Maryland or Nevada court or regulatory authority known to us and applicable by name to the Covered Entities.
7. To our knowledge, no consent or approval of, or notice to or filing with, any state regulatory authority is required by the Borrower or any Covered Guarantor Entity under the Covered Laws to which the Borrower or such Covered Guarantor Entity is subject to in connection with the execution and delivery by the Borrower or such Covered Guarantor Entity of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party other than (i) those that have been made or obtained and are in full force and
effect or as to which the failure to be made or obtained or to be in full force and effect would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) such registrations, filings or approvals that may be required in order to perfect or record security interests granted under the Security Agreement.
8. Each Financing Statement attached hereto in Annex 1 is in proper form for filing in the applicable Filing Office (as defined in the Applicable UCC) in the State of Arizona, the State of California, the State of Maryland and the State of Nevada, as applicable.

Statement, (ii) the California UCC for the Security Agreement and the California Financing Statements, (iii) the Maryland UCC for the Security Agreement and the Maryland Financing Statement and (iv) the Nevada UCC for the Security Agreement and the Nevada Financing Statements.
(a) Upon the filing and acceptance of the Arizona Financing Statement with the Arizona Secretary of State, the security interest in the collateral described in the Security Agreement in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Arizona UCC and perfected by the filing of a financing statement under Article 9 of the Arizona UCC will be perfected;
(b) Upon the filing and acceptance of the California Financing Statements with the California Secretary of State, the security interest in the collateral described in the Security Agreement in which a security interest may be created under Division 9 of the California UCC and perfected by the filing of a financing statement under Division 9 of the California UCC will be perfected;
(c) Upon the filing of the Maryland Financing Statement with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation, the security interest in the collateral described in the Security Agreement in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Maryland UCC and perfected by the filing of a financing statement under Article 9 of the Maryland UCC will be perfected; and

The opinions given above in this paragraph 8 with respect to the perfection of security interests under the Security Agreement are subject to the following exceptions:
(1) in the case of property as to which the security interest attaches
after the date hereof, Section 552 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code
limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the
commencement of a case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code may
be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement
entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case;
(2) the Secured Parties' security interest will terminate upon a
disposition authorized by the Secured Parties as to such disposed property;
(3) in the case of any interest in or claim in or under any policy of
insurance, the Secured Parties' security interest is limited to
proceeds payable to the each of the debtors named therein and not
to any other party named as loss payee under such policies;
(4) continued perfection of any security interest in proceeds is subject
to Section 9-315 of the Applicable UCC;
(5) in the case of any collateral consisting of goods, the Secured
Parties' security interest is subject to the rights of buyers of the
goods under Section 9-320 of the Applicable UCC and the rights
of lessees of the goods under Section 9-321 of the Applicable UCC;
(6) in the case of any collateral consisting of general intangibles, the
Secured Parties' security interest is subject to the rights of
licensees in the ordinary course of business under Section 9-321 of
the Applicable UCC; and
(7) the continued perfection of the security interests perfected by the
filing of the Financing Statements will depend upon the filing of
periodic continuation statements relating to the Financing
Statements in accordance with the Applicable UCC, and may
depend upon (x) the continued formation of the Borrower and each
Covered Guarantor Entity in its applicable state of formation, and
(y) the continuation of the Borrower's and each Covered Guarantor
Entity's present name.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications:

(b) We express no opinion as to the validity of any provision of the Transaction Documents which (i) permits the Secured Parties to increase the rate of interest or to collect a late charge in the event of delinquency or default to the extent deemed to be penalties or forfeitures; (ii) purports to grant the Secured Parties a power-of-attorney; (iii) purports to entitle the Secured Parties to take possession of any
collateral in any manner other than peaceably and by reason of the peaceable surrender of such possession by the applicable party or by reason of appropriate judicial proceedings; (iv) purports to require that waivers must be in writing to the extent that an oral agreement or implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct modifying provisions of the Transaction Documents has been made; (v) purports to be a waiver of the right to a jury trial, a waiver of any right to object to jurisdiction or venue, a waiver of

purports to require the payment of attorneys' fees to the extent such fees exceed reasonable attorneys' fees; or (x) purports to authorize the Secured Parties to set off and apply any deposits at any time held, and any other indebtedness at any time owing, by the Secured Parties to or for the account of any party or which purports to provide that any purchaser of a participation from the Secured Parties may exercise setoff or similar rights with respect to such participation.
( c) We express no opinion as to the application or requirements of federal or state securities, patent, trademark, copyright, antitrust and unfair competition, pension or employee benefit, labor, environmental, health and safety, tax or bankruptcy
laws.

For purposes of this Opinion, we have assumed (a) the capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the due authorization (other than by the Loan Parties), execution, and delivery by the parties thereto of all Documents referenced herein, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, (b) that the Loan Parties have obtained all required licenses and permits to operate their respective businesses, and that all such licenses and permits are in full force and effect, (c) that the Organizational Documents are correct and complete, have not been further amended, and are in full force and effect as of the date hereof, (d) that descriptions of collateral in the Financing Statements (and any schedules thereto) are accurate and sufficiently describe the property intended to be covered thereby, (e) the proper filing and indexing of the Financing Statements in the Secured Transaction Registry of the Florida Secretary of State, and (f) that all representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the comments and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
| |
1. | Each of the Loan Parties is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation or limited liability company under the laws of the State of Florida. Based solely on the certificates attached hereto as Schedule "1", DRIC is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation in the states of Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Hawaii, Virginia and West Virginia. Based solely on the certificates attached hereto as Schedule "2", MMG is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation in the states of Missouri and Tennessee. Each Loan Party has (i) all necessary corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder, (ii) full corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power to own, lease, and operate its property and transact its business, and (iii) authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the Documents to which it is a party by all necessary corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, |
action. Each of the Documents to which any Loan Party is a party constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party.
| |
2. | The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Documents to which it is a party, the performance by it of its obligations thereunder and the grant by it of security interests pursuant to the Documents do not violate (a) the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party, (b) any law, rule or regulation of the State of Florida that we, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to such Loan Party or the Transaction, or generally applicable to transactions similar to the Transaction, or (c) to our actual knowledge, without inquiry or investigation, any judgment, order or decree of any Florida court that is binding upon such Loan Party. |
| |
3. | Each Financing Statement attached hereto in Exhibit "B" is in proper form for filing in Florida. Assuming the debtor has effectively granted a security interest to the secured party, upon the proper filing of the Financing Statements with the Secretary of the State of Florida, a security interest in that Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the Secretary of the State of Florida under the Florida UCC will be perfected. The filing of the Financing Statements in the office of the Secretary of the State of Florida are the only filings necessary to perfect by filing the security interest in those items of the Collateral covered by Article 9 of the Florida UCC as described in such Financing Statements which is owned by the Loan Party. |
| |
4. | To our actual knowledge, without inquiry or investigation, no consent, authorization, or approval of, or notice to, with, or by any Federal or Florida governmental or regulatory body by or on behalf of the Loan Parties is required to make valid and legally binding the execution and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Documents to which it is respectively a party and the performance of its respective obligations thereunder. We note that the Financing Statements will need to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida in connection with the perfection of security interests granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents. |
This Opinion is subject to the following limitations, qualifications, exceptions, confirmations and exclusions:
| |
1. | We express no opinion as to the effect of, or compliance with, any laws, rules, regulations or policies (collectively referred to herein as "Regulatory Matters") related to (i) taxation, (ii) land use, (iii) zoning, (iv) the environment, (v) health and safety (e.g., OSHA), (vi) building codes, (vii) human disabilities, (viii) transportation, (ix) communication, (x) banking, (xi) securities, including state "Blue Sky" laws and regulations, and laws and regulations relating to commodity (and other) futures and indices and other similar instruments, (xii) Federal Reserve Board margin regulations, (xiii) labor matters, or pension and employee benefits (e.g., ERISA), (xiv) antitrust and unfair competition, (xv) filing and notice requirements (e.g., Hart-Scott-Rodino and Exon-Florio), other than requirements applicable to charter-related documents such as a certificate of merger, (xvi) compliance with fiduciary duty requirements, (xvii) statutes and ordinances, the administrative decisions, and the rules and regulations of counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions, (xviii) fraudulent transfers and fraudulent conveyances, (xix) patent, copyright and trademark, and other intellectual property matters, (xx) racketeering laws and regulations (e.g. RICO) and (xxi) national security and local emergency. |
| |
2. | Nothing herein shall be deemed an opinion as to whether the Loan Parties have all necessary licenses, permits and approvals to conduct their respective businesses. |
| |
3. | Any reference herein to our "knowledge" (or similar reference) means to the actual knowledge of attorneys of this firm who have devoted substantive attention to this Opinion and the Transaction and not |
the knowledge of employees of this firm or the knowledge of other partners who may have represented any of the clients identified herein or their affiliates in any matters other than the Transaction. Further, the knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who have devoted substantive attention to this Opinion and the Transaction does not include constructive notice of matters or information contained in any public records not otherwise specifically identified herein.
This opinion has been rendered solely for your benefit and each of your respective successors and assigns, in connection with the Facility and the Transaction and may not be relied upon for any other purpose without our prior written consent, and is rendered solely as of the date hereof and no responsibility is undertaken for any future changes or development in any statutes, regulations, judicial decisions or other law.

E. the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement dated as of September 11, 2013, among the Borrower, Holdings, other Guarantors (including the Company) party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Collateral Agent and the Authorized Representative for the Indenture Secured Parties, Credit Suisse AG, as the Authorized Representative for the Initial Additional Secured Patties and each Additional Authorized Representative party thereto ("Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement");

I. the Certificate of the Company ( the "Certificate") certifying that the Partnership Agreement is true, correct and complete and is in full force and effect on the date of the Certificate as well as other matters necessary to permit the issuance of the opinion contained herein; and
J. such other records, agreements, certificates and documents that we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed herein.
The documents itemized in Sections A. through G. above are collectively referred to herein as the "Transaction Documents."
In making such examination, with your permission, we have assumed the following:
a. the genuineness of all signatures;
b. that all natural persons who are signatories to the Transaction Documents have sufficient legal competency to enter into and perform their respective obligations thereunder; and the copies of all documents submitted to us are accurate and complete and conform to originals;
c. that each of the patties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Company) has the power to enter into and perform each of its respective obligations thereunder;

e. the accuracy of representations and warranties of the parties set forth in the Transaction Documents as to factual matters only (and not as to legal conclusions);
f. the conduct of the parties to the Transaction Documents complies with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing, conscionability and commercial reasonableness;
g. there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence with respect to any party;
h. The Company has "rights" (within the meaning of the UCC, as hereinafter defined) in the "Collateral" and in the "Pledged Collateral" described (and as defined) in the Security Agreement, respectively; and
i. All of the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) which
has been certificated (the "Pledged Stock") (together with executed stock powers in blank) has been delivered to the Collateral Agent and will be continuously in the possession of the Collateral Agent and the interest in the applicable entities represented by the Pledged Stock shall at all times be represented by the certificated securities delivered to the Collateral Agent.

Furthermore, none of the factual matters dealt with in the Certificate have been independently established or verified by us.
Although we have, with your consent, relied on certain assumptions set forth above based on the Certificate and other materials, we have done so in good faith, and we are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause us to conclude that reliance on such assumptions or such materials, without further inquiry or investigation, is unreasonable.

Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party constitute the valid and binding

3.

5. The Financing Statement attached hereto in Annex A is in proper form for filing in the State of Hawaii.

The documents listed in paragraphs (1) through (10) are referred to collectively as the "Documents". We have also examined (a) originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such agreements, documents, certificates, corporate, limited liability company and official records, affidavits, and other instruments and (b) such laws and regulations as we deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.
As to factual matters, we have, in certain instances, examined and relied upon certificates of limited liability company officials, certificates of corporate officials, and certificates of public officials.
In making such examination, with your permission, we have assumed:
(i) the genuineness of all signatures other than those of the Companies;
(ii) all natural persons who are signatories to the Transaction Documents have sufficient legal competency to enter into and perform their respective obligations thereunder; and the copies of all documents submitted to us are accurate and complete and conform to originals;
(iii) that each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Companies) has the power to enter into and perform each of its respective obligations thereunder;

(viii) the Companies have "rights" (within the meaning of the Missouri UCC, as hereinafter defined) in the "Collateral" described in the Financing Statements.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the additional qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
1.The Companies (a) are limited liability companies duly formed and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Missouri with full limited liability company power to own, lease and operate their property and transact their business and (b) have full limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their obligations under each of the Transaction Documents.
2.The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents to which the Companies are parties and the performance of their obligations thereunder, including the Companies' guarantee of the Obligations and grant of security interests contained in the Transaction Documents, have been duly authorized by all requisite limited liability company action on the part of the Companies. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Companies are parties constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Companies.
3.The execution and delivery by the Companies of each Transaction Document to which they are parties and the performance of their obligations thereunder will not result in any violation by the Companies of (a) any provision of their Articles of Organization or LLC Agreements, (b) to our knowledge, any law, rule or regulation of Missouri or (c) any judgment, order or decree of any Missouri court or regulatory authority known by us to be applicable to the Companies or their assets or properties.
4.No consent, approval, license or exemption by, or order or authorization of, filing, recording or registration with, or notice to, any Missouri governmental authority or regulatory body is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Companies of each Transaction Documents to which they are parties, including the Companies' guarantee of the Obligations and grant of security interests contained in the Transaction Documents, other than (i) those that have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect or as to which the failure to be made or obtained or to be in full force and effect would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) such registrations, filings or approvals that may be required in order to perfect or record security interests granted under the Security Agreement.
5.Each of the Financing Statements attached hereto in Schedule II is in proper form for filing in Missouri. Upon the proper filing of the Financing Statements with the SOS Office, that Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the SOS Office under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date hereof in Missouri ("Missouri UCC") will be perfected.
The filing of the Financing Statements in the SOS Office are the only filings necessary to perfect by filing the security interest in those items of the Collateral covered by Article 9 of the Missouri UCC as described in such Financing Statements which is owned by the Companies.
The opinions expressed in Paragraphs 5 are subject to the following additional qualifications:
| |
(a) | We have assumed that the Collateral exists and that the Companies have sufficient rights |
in the Collateral for the security interest to attach, and we express no opinion as to the nature or extent of any rights of the Companies in, or title to, any of the Collateral.
| |
(b) | Our security interest opinions expressed in Paragraph 5 above, are limited to the Missouri |
UCC and therefore such opinions do not address: (i) laws of jurisdictions other than Missouri; or (ii) collateral of a type not subject to Article 9 of the Missouri UCC.
| |
(c) | We express no opinion as to the priority of any security interest given to the Secured |
Parties under the Transaction Documents.
(d)We call your attention to the fact that the security interest in the Collateral may be subject
to the rights of account debtors in respect of the Collateral, claims and defenses of such account debtors and the terms of agreements with such account debtors.
(e) We have assumed that none of the Collateral arises or will arise under agreements that prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of any portion of the Collateral. We express no opinion as to the effect of any such prohibitions, restrictions or conditions on assignment contained in any account, lease, instrument, chattel paper, payment intangible, health care receivable or letter of credit right. We note that any such prohibition or restriction is subject to the provisions of Sections 400.9-406, 400.9-407, 400.9-408 and 400.9-409 of the Missouri UCC.
The opinions expressed above are, in addition to any other assumptions, comments or qualification set forth in this letter, subject to the following qualifications and comments:
| |
(a) | The opinions contained herein are hereby specifically qualified by reference to and are |
based solely upon laws, rulings and regulations in effect on the date hereof, and are subject to modification to the extent that such laws, rulings and regulations may be changed in the future. In addition, these opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Missouri and we express no opinions as to matters which may be governed by the substantive laws of any state other than Missouri.
(b)We have assumed that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will
be effected in the future in accordance with the terms thereof.
| |
(c) | We have assumed that all representations and warranties, and other statements as to |
factual matters in the Documents, are true and correct as they are set forth in those documents. We have also assumed that any certificate, opinion from another attorney, representation or other document on which we have relied continues to remain accurate, insofar as relevant to the opinions in this letter, from their respective dates through and including the date of this letter.
| |
(d) | The legality, validity, binding nature and enforceability of the Transaction Documents is |
subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether the question is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar law from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally. In addition, we express no opinion as to whether a court would grant specific performance or any other equitable remedy with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, or whether a court would grant a particular right or remedy provided therein or at law or in equity.
(e)No opinion is given or expressed, or should any opinion be inferred or implied, as to: (i)
the financial ability of the Companies to meet or satisfy their obligations; (ii) the truthfulness, completeness or accuracy of any applications, reports, plans, documents, financial statements or other matters furnished to the Lenders or their agents or representatives by the Companies or by any other party acting by, for, or at the discretion of the Companies or in conjunction with the Credit Agreement as evidenced by the Transaction Documents; and (iii) the truthfulness, completeness or accuracy of any
