(g) At any time during an Availability Compliance Period, in connection with Inventory purchased pursuant to Letter of Credit Accommodations during such Availability Compliance Period, each Borrower shall, at Agent’s request, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver them to Agent and/or subject to Agent’s order, and if they shall come into any Borrower’s possession, to deliver them, upon Agent’s request, to Agent in their original form. Each Borrower shall also, at Agent’s request, designate Agent as the consignee on all bills of lading and other negotiable and non-negotiable documents.
41
(h) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any issuer of a Letter of Credit Accommodation to name such Borrower as the account party therein and to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit Accommodations and to accept and rely upon Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations or the applications therefor. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to grant any Borrower any right or authority to pledge the credit of Agent or any Revolving Loan Lender in any manner. Agent and Revolving Loan Lenders shall have no liability of any kind with respect to any Letter of Credit Accommodation provided by an issuer other than Agent or any Revolving Loan Lender unless Agent has duly executed and delivered to such issuer the application or a guarantee or indemnification in writing with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation. Borrowers shall be bound by any reasonable interpretation made in good faith by Agent, or any other issuer or correspondent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodation or any documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder, notwithstanding that such interpretation may be inconsistent with any instructions from any Borrower.
(i) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall have the right and authority to, and no Borrower shall, without the prior written consent of Agent, (i) approve or resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents, (ii) give any instructions as to acceptance or rejection of any documents or goods, (iii) execute any and all applications for steamship or airway guaranties, indemnities or delivery orders, (iv) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payments for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or documents, and (v) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder or any letters of credit included in the Collateral. Agent may take such actions either in its own name or in any Borrower’s name.
(j) At any time, so long as no Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, any Borrower may, with Agent’s consent, (i) grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or documents, and (ii) agree to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of the applications, Letter of Credit Accommodations, or documents, drafts or acceptances thereunder or any letters of credit included in the Collateral; provided, that, such Borrower may approve or resolve any questions of non-compliance of documents following notice to Agent thereof and without Agent’s consent except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2(i).
(k) Any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by any Borrower to any issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement in favor of any issuer or correspondent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been granted or undertaken by such Borrower to Agent for the ratable benefit of Revolving Loan Lenders. Any duties or obligations undertaken by Agent to any issuer or correspondent in any application for any Letter of Credit Accommodation, or any other agreement by Agent in favor of any issuer or correspondent to the extent relating to any Letter of Credit Accommodation, shall be deemed to have been undertaken
42
by such Borrower to Agent for the ratable benefit of Revolving Loan Lenders and to apply in all respects to such Borrower.
(l) Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit Accommodation, each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation (including, without limitation, all Obligations with respect thereto).
(m) Borrowers are irrevocably and unconditionally, jointly and severally, obligated, without presentment, demand or protest, to pay to Agent any amounts paid by an issuer of a Letter of Credit Accommodation with respect to such Letter of Credit Accommodation (whether through the borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(a) or otherwise). In the event that Borrowers fail to pay Agent on the date of any payment under a Letter of Credit Accommodation in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, Agent (to the extent it has actual notice thereof) shall promptly notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such payment and each Revolving Loan Lender agrees, upon one (1) Business Day’s notice, to fund to Agent the purchase of its participation in such Letter of Credit Accommodation in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the unpaid amount. The obligation of each Revolving Loan Lender to deliver to Agent an amount equal to its respective participation pursuant to the foregoing sentence is absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuance of any Event of Default, the failure to satisfy any other condition set forth in Section 4 or any other event or circumstance. If such amount is not made available by a Revolving Loan Lender when due, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s option based on the arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of Agent’s demand, at the highest Revolving Loan Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Prime Rate Loans.
2.3 Term Loan.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, upon the initial closing under this Agreement, each Term Loan Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees to make a term loan to Borrowers (collectively, the “Term Loan”) in an amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000). Except as Agent and Term Loan Lenders may otherwise agree, each Term Loan Lender shall make the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds by no later than 12:00 noon New York time on the date of the initial closing under this Agreement. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds, Agent shall make the proceeds of the Term Loan available to Borrowers as provided in Section 6.5 hereof.
43
(b) The outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date of termination of this Agreement, whether by its terms, by prepayment, or by acceleration, or (iii) the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d) below, the Term Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, but once repaid may not be reborrowed.
(c) Agent, on behalf of Borrowers, agrees to record the Term Loan on the Register. The Term Loan recorded on the Register (the “Registered Term Loan”) may not be evidenced by promissory notes other than a Registered Term Note (as defined below). Upon the registration of a Term Loan, any promissory note (other than a Registered Term Note) evidencing the same shall be null and void and shall be returned to Borrowers. Borrowers agree, at the request of the Required Term Loan Lenders, to execute and deliver to Term Loan Lenders a promissory note in registered form to evidence such Registered Term Loan (i.e., containing registered note language) and registered as provided in Section 14.7(b) hereof (a “Registered Term Note”), payable to the order of each Term Loan Lender and otherwise duly completed. Once recorded on the Register, the Obligations evidenced by such Registered Term Note may not be removed from the Register so long as it remains outstanding, and a Registered Term Note may not be exchanged for a promissory note that is not a Registered Term Note.
(d) Borrowers may prepay, retire or acquire (and thereupon retire) the outstanding balance of the Term Loan (i) so long as: (A) at all times during the thirty (30) day period immediately prior to such payment and after giving effect to such payment, Borrowers have Excess Availability plus Qualified Cash of no less than $40,000,000; (B) Borrowers’ EBITDA for the twelve-month period most recently ended is $55,000,000 or more; (C) both before and after giving effect to such payment, no Default or Event of Default exists or would occur or (ii) out of (A) the net cash proceeds of any issuance or sale of, or capital contribution in respect of, any capital stock or other equity securities of NY&Co after the date hereof in each case, to the extent the transaction giving rise to such proceeds is not prohibited under the terms of the Financing Agreements or is otherwise consented to by Agent in writing or (B) the net cash proceeds of a refinancing of the Term Loan on terms and conditions satisfactory to Agent.
2.4 Commitments. The aggregate amount of each Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations shall not exceed the amount of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Commitment, as the same may from time to time be amended in accordance with the provisions hereof. The aggregate amount of each Term Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, as the same may from time to time be amended, with the written acknowledgment of Agent.
2.5 Bank Products. Any Borrower or any of Subsidiary of a Borrower may (but no such Person is required to) request that the Agent provide or arrange for such Person to obtain Bank Products from Agent or its Affiliates, and Agent may, in its sole discretion, provide or arrange for such Person to obtain the requested Bank Products. Any Borrower or Subsidiary of a Borrower that obtains Bank Products shall indemnify and hold Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates harmless from any and all obligations now or hereafter owing to any other Person by Agent or its Affiliates in connection with any Bank Products. Each Borrower and its
44
Subsidiaries acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of Bank Products from the Agent and its Affiliates (a) is in the sole discretion of the Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of the Person that provides the Bank Product.
SECTION 3. INTEREST AND FEES
3.1 Interest.
(a) Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the (i) Revolving Loan Lenders, interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans at the Revolving Loan Interest Rate and (ii) Term Loan Lenders, interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan at the Term Loan Interest Rate. All interest accruing hereunder on and after the date of any Event of Default or termination hereof shall be payable on demand.
(b) Any Borrower may from time to time request that Revolving Loans be made as Eurodollar Rate Loans or may request that Revolving Loans which are Prime Rate Loans be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or that any existing Revolving Loans which are Eurodollar Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period. Such request from a Borrower shall specify the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of such Prime Rate Loans to be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loans to be continued (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, two (2) Business Days after receipt by Agent of such a request from such Borrower, such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or such Prime Rate Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall continue, as the case may be, provided, that, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement, (iii) such Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as are established by Agent and specified by Agent to Borrowers for Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) exclusive of the Term Loan, no more than six (6) Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time, (v) exclusive of the Term Loan, the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans must be in an amount not less than $3,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (vi) Agent and each Revolving Loan Lender shall have determined that the Interest Period or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is available to Agent and such Revolving Loan Lender and can be readily determined as of the date of the request for such Eurodollar Rate Loan by such Borrower. Any request by or on behalf of any Borrower for Revolving Loans that are to be Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Revolving Loans that are Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue any existing Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent and Lenders shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable Eurodollar Rate market to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Agent and Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund the Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(c) Any Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Agent has received and approved a request to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan at least two (2) Business Days prior to such last day in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Revolving Loans that are
45
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, at Agent’s option, upon notice by Agent to Borrowers, be subsequently converted to Prime Rate Loans in the event that this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Facility shall terminate or not be renewed. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Revolving Loan Lenders, upon demand by Agent (or Agent may, at its option, charge any loan account of Borrowers) any amounts required to compensate any Revolving Loan Lender or Participant for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such person, as a result of the conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing.
(d) Interest shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent, for the account of Lenders, monthly in arrears not later than the first day of each calendar month and shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. The interest rate on non-contingent Obligations (other than Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the first day of the month after any change in such Prime Rate is announced based on the Prime Rate in effect on the last day of the month in which any such change occurs. In no event shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrowers to Agent and Lenders exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, and if any such part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto.
3.2 Fees.
(a) Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Loan Lender, monthly an unused line fee at a rate equal to one-quarter percent (0.25%) per annum in aggregate of the difference between (i) the average daily principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding and (ii) $80,000,000 (the “Unused Line Fee”), which fee shall be payable on the first day of each month in arrears; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on a quarterly basis, effective on the first day of the first month following receipt of Borrowers’ quarterly financial statements, the Unused Line Fee will be adjusted to reflect the lowest Unused Line Fee applicable based on (i) Borrowers’ EBITDA, during the twelve (12) month period ending on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, or (ii) Borrowers’ Average Excess Availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, as set forth below:

(b) Servicing Fees. Borrowers shall pay: (i) to Agent, for its own account, a servicing fee in the amount of $7,500 per month, which fee will be charged and fully earned when due, payable monthly, on the first day of each month, in advance, and non-refundable when paid; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or during an Availability Compliance Period, such servicing fee shall be increased to $10,000; and (ii) to Agent, for the account of Ableco, a servicing fee in the amount of $5,000 per month, which fee will be charged and fully earned when due, payable monthly, commencing on the date of this Agreement and on the first day of each month thereafter, in advance, and non-refundable when paid.
(c) Arrangement Letter Amounts. Borrowers shall pay to Arranger the amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Arrangement Letter in the manner set forth therein.
3.3 Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Loans.
(a) If after the date of the Original Loan Agreement, either (i) any change in, or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation is introduced, including, without limitation, with respect to reserve requirements, applicable to any Lender or any banking or financial institution from whom any Lender borrows funds or obtains credit (a “Funding Bank”), or (ii) a Funding Bank or any Lender complies with any future guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (iii) a Funding Bank or any Lender determines that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof has or would have the effect described below, or a Funding Bank or any Lender complies with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, and in the case of any event set forth in this clause (iii), such adoption, change or compliance has or would have the direct or indirect effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Funding Bank’s or such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, and the result of any of the foregoing events described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) is or results in an increase in the cost to any Lender of funding or maintaining the Loans or its Total Commitment
47
(other than any increased cost resulting from (1) Taxes (as to which Section 6.4(d) and the limitations thereto shall govern) or (2) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Agent or such Lender is organized or in which the Agent’s or such Lender’s lending office is located or any political subdivision thereof), then Borrowers shall from time to time upon demand by Agent pay to Agent additional amounts sufficient to indemnify Lenders against such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be submitted to Borrowers by Agent and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (i) Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, (ii) Agent has received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Loans during such Interest Period, or (iii) Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to which such Interest Period is to be applicable are not generally available in the London interbank market, Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Borrowers and Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter, and will also give prompt written notice to Borrowers when such conditions no longer exist. If such notice is given (A) any Eurodollar Rate Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Prime Rate Loans, (B) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted to or continued as Prime Rate Loans and (C) each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period thereof, to Prime Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by Agent, no further Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall Borrowers have the right to convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or final, non-appealable determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the date of the Original Loan Agreement shall make it unlawful for Agent or any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) Agent or such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to Borrowers and Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (ii) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, continue Eurodollar Rate Loans as such and convert Prime Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make a Prime Rate Loan when a Eurodollar Rate Loan is requested and (iii) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Prime Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.3(d) below.
48
(d) Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Lender and hold Agent and each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Agent or such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by any Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or extension of Eurodollar Rate Loans after any Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan after any Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. With respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or extended, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or extend to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or extend, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Rate Loans provided for herein over (B) the amount of interest (as determined by Agent or such Lender) which would have accrued to Agent or such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

being encumbered as a matter of law, except for the products and proceeds thereof, (ii) such Borrower’s rights or interests in any license, contract or agreement to which such Borrower is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder to the extent, but only to the extent, that such a grant would, under the terms of such license, contract or agreement, applicable laws or otherwise, result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a default under any license, contract or agreement to which such Borrower is a party (except for the products and proceeds thereof); provided, however, upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such provision, the Collateral shall include, and such Borrower shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all such rights and interests as if such provision had never been in effect, and (iii) the Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary to the extent that such Capital Stock constitutes more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the Voting Stock of all classes of the Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary that are entitled to vote, except for the products and proceeds thereof. In addition, the Collateral shall exclude any rights to any Intellectual Property, License Agreements or software that would be rendered invalid or unenforceable under the terms thereof or under applicable laws by the grant of a security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, for as long as such prohibition or reason for invalidity exists, except for the products and proceeds thereof.
5.2 Perfection of Security Interests.
(a) Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes Agent (or its agent) to file at any time and from time to time such financing statements with respect to the Collateral naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and such Borrower as debtor, as Agent may require, and including any other information with respect to such Borrower or otherwise required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction as Agent may determine, together with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto, which authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on, prior to or after the date of the Original Loan Agreement. Each Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all financing statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower, as debtor with respect to the Collateral (and any amendments with respect to such financing statements) filed by or on behalf of Agent prior to the date of the Original Loan Agreement and ratifies and confirms the authorization of Agent to file such financing statements (and amendments, if any). Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to adopt on behalf of such Borrower any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the description of the collateral in any financing statement naming Agent or its designee as the secured party and any Borrower as debtor includes assets and properties of such Borrower that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the other Financing Agreements or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Borrower to the extent of the Collateral included in such description and it shall not render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no event shall any Borrower at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto) naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower as debtor.
(b) No Borrower has any chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic) or instruments as of the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 5.2(b). In the event that any Borrower shall be entitled to or shall receive any chattel paper or instrument after the date
53
hereof, such Borrower shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of such Borrower (including by any agent or representative), such Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent, all tangible chattel paper and instruments that such Borrower has or may at any time acquire, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Agent may from time to time specify, in each case except as Agent may otherwise agree. At Agent’s option, such Borrower shall, or Agent may at any time on behalf of such Borrower, cause the original of any such instrument or chattel paper to be conspicuously marked in a form and manner acceptable to Agent with the following legend referring to chattel paper or instruments as applicable: “This [chattel paper][instrument] is subject to the security interest of Congress Financial Corporation, as Agent, and any sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance of this [chattel paper][instrument] violates the rights of such secured party.”
(c) In the event that any Borrower shall at any time hold or acquire an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record” (as such term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction), such Borrower shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon Agent’s request, such Borrower shall take, or cause to be taken, such actions as Agent may request to give Agent control of such electronic chattel paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC and control of such transferable record under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in such jurisdiction.
(d) No Borrower has any deposit accounts as of the date hereof, except as set forth in such Borrower’s Information Certificate. No Borrower shall, directly or indirectly, after the date hereof open, establish or maintain any Central Collection Deposit Account unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) Agent shall have received not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the intention of such Borrower to open or establish such account which notice shall specify in reasonable detail and specificity acceptable to Agent the name of the Central Collection Deposit Account, the owner of the Central Collection Deposit Account, the name and address of the bank at which such Central Collection Deposit Account is to be opened or established, the individual at such bank with whom such Borrower is dealing and the purpose of the Central Collection Deposit Account, (ii) the bank where such Central Collection Deposit Account is opened or maintained shall be acceptable to Agent, and (iii) on or before the opening of such Central Collection Deposit Account, such Borrower shall as Agent may specify either (A) deliver to Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such Central Collection Deposit Account duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Borrower and the bank at which such deposit account is opened and maintained or (B) arrange for Agent to become the customer of the bank with respect to the deposit account on terms and conditions acceptable to Agent. The terms of this subsection (d) shall not apply to deposit accounts specifically and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of such Borrower’s salaried employees.
(e) No Borrower owns or holds, directly or indirectly, beneficially or as record owner or both, any investment property, as of the date hereof, or has any investment account, securities account, commodity account or other similar account with any bank or other
54
financial institution or other securities intermediary or commodity intermediary as of the date hereof, in each case except as set forth on Schedule 5.2(e).
(i) In the event that any Borrower shall be entitled to or shall at any time after the date hereof hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Borrower shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Agent may from time to time specify. If any securities, now or hereafter acquired by any Borrower are uncertificated and are issued to such Borrower or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Borrower shall immediately notify Agent thereof and shall as Agent may specify, either (A) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from Agent as to such securities, without further consent of such Borrower or such nominee, or (B) arrange for Agent to become the registered owner of the securities.
(ii) No Borrower shall, directly or indirectly, after the date hereof open, establish or maintain any investment account, securities account, commodity account or any other similar account (other than a deposit account) with any securities intermediary or commodity intermediary unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: (A) Agent shall have received not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the intention of such Borrower to open or establish such account which notice shall specify in reasonable detail and specificity acceptable to Agent the name of the account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the securities intermediary or commodity intermediary at which such account is to be opened or established, the individual at such intermediary with whom such Borrower is dealing and the purpose of the account, (B) the securities intermediary or commodity intermediary (as the case may be) where such account is opened or maintained shall be acceptable to Agent, and (C) on or before the opening of such investment account, securities account or other similar account with a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, such Borrower shall as Agent may specify either (1) execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered to Agent, an Investment Property Control Agreement with respect thereto duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Borrower and such securities intermediary or commodity intermediary or (2) arrange for Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property on terms and conditions acceptable to Agent.
(f) No Borrower is the beneficiary or otherwise entitled to any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument as of the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 5.2(f). In the event that any Borrower shall be entitled to or shall receive any right to payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or any similar instrument, whether as beneficiary thereof or otherwise after the date hereof, such Borrower shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Such Borrower shall immediately, as Agent may specify, either (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent, with respect to any such letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument, the written agreement of the issuer and any other nominated person obligated to make any payment in respect thereof (including any confirming or negotiating bank), in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, consenting to the
55
assignment of the proceeds of the letter of credit to Agent by such Borrower and agreeing to make all payments thereon directly to Agent or as Agent may otherwise direct or (ii) cause Agent to become, at Borrowers’ expense, the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar instrument (as the case may be).
(g) No Borrower has any commercial tort claims with respect to which the amount claimed exceeds $1,000,000 and either a written demand therefor has been made or legal action has commenced, except as set forth on Schedule 5.2(g). In the event that any Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof have any such commercial tort claims, or if an Event of Default exists, if any Borrower has any commercial tort claims, such Borrower shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing, which notice shall (i) set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and nature of such commercial tort claim and (ii) include the express grant by such Borrower to Agent of a security interest in such commercial tort claim (and the proceeds thereof). In the event that such notice does not include such grant of a security interest, the sending thereof by such Borrower to Agent shall be deemed to constitute such grant to Agent. Upon the sending of such notice, any commercial tort claim described therein shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall be deemed included therein. Without limiting the authorization of Agent provided in Section 5.2(a) hereof or otherwise arising by the execution by such Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized from time to time and at any time to file such financing statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and such Borrower as debtor, or any amendments to any financing statements, covering any such commercial tort claim as Collateral. In addition, such Borrower shall promptly upon Agent’s request, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to Agent such other agreements, documents and instruments as Agent may require in connection with such commercial tort claim.
(h) No Borrower has any goods, documents of title or other Collateral in the custody, control or possession of a third party as of the date hereof, except as set forth in such Borrower’s Information Certificate. In the event that any goods, documents of title or other Collateral are at any time after the date hereof in the custody, control or possession of any other person not referred to in a Borrower’s Information Certificate or such carriers, such Borrower shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing. Promptly upon Agent’s request, such Borrower shall deliver to Agent a Collateral Access Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by such person and such Borrower.
(i) Each Borrower shall take any other actions reasonably requested by Agent from time to time to cause the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Agent to enforce, the security interest of Agent in any and all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC or other applicable law, to the extent, if any, that such Borrower’s signature thereon is required therefor, (ii) causing Agent’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Agent to enforce, the security interest of Agent in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Agent to enforce, the security interest of Agent in such Collateral, (iv) obtaining the consents and approvals of any Governmental Authority or third
56
party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, and taking all actions required by any earlier versions of the UCC or by other law, as applicable in any relevant jurisdiction.
SECTION 6. COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION
6.1 Borrowers’ Loan Accounts. Agent shall maintain one or more Loan accounts on its books in which shall be recorded (a) the Term Loan, all Revolving Loans, all Letter of Credit Accommodations, all other Obligations and the Collateral, (b) all payments made by or on behalf of Borrowers and (c) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including fees, charges, costs, expenses and interest. All entries in the loan accounts shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary practices as in effect from time to time.
6.2 Statements. Agent shall render to Borrowers a monthly statement setting forth the balance in the Borrowers’ loan accounts maintained by Agent for Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses as of the end of such month. Agent shall use its best efforts to provide such monthly statement to Borrowers by the 15th day of each month. Each such statement shall be subject to subsequent adjustment by Agent but shall, absent manifest errors or omissions, be considered correct and deemed accepted by Borrowers and conclusively binding upon Borrowers as an account stated except to the extent that Agent receives a written notice from Borrowers of any specific exceptions of Borrowers thereto within sixty (60) days after the date such statement has been received by Borrowers. Until such time as Agent shall have rendered to Borrowers a written statement as provided above, the balance in Borrowers’ loan accounts shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by Borrowers.
(a) Prior to the occurrence of a Compliance Triggering Event or Event of Default, Borrowers shall retain control of their cash, including payments and proceeds of Collateral. Concurrently with this Agreement, Borrowers shall establish and maintain, at their expense, blocked accounts or lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in either case, “Blocked Accounts”), as Agent may specify, with such banks as are acceptable to Agent. Such Blocked Accounts may be Central Collection Deposit Accounts, and the term Blocked Accounts shall mean and include the Central Collection Deposit Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon a Compliance Triggering Event and during any Availability Compliance Period, and upon Agent’s request, each Borrower shall promptly deposit into one or more Blocked Accounts, and direct its account debtors to directly remit into such Blocked Accounts all payments on Receivables, other than the Non-Borrower Receivables, and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner. Concurrently with this Agreement, each Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent, a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by each bank where a Blocked Account is maintained which agreement shall provide that upon notice from Agent (which shall be given upon an Event of Default or a Compliance Triggering Event and revoked promptly after the expiration of the related Availability Compliance Reinstatement Date or waiver of such Event of Default in accordance with the terms hereof, as applicable), such bank will send funds
57
on a daily basis to the Agent Payment Account and otherwise take instruction with respect to such Blocked Account only from Agent. Promptly upon Agent’s request, each Borrower shall execute and deliver such agreements or documents as Agent may require in connection therewith. Each Borrower agrees that after notice by Agent to the bank under the Deposit Account Control Agreement, all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Agent, whether in respect of the Receivables, as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall be treated as payments to Agent, for itself and the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers, in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the property of Agent, for itself and the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers, to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations; provided, however, that in the event any Non-Borrower Receivable is deposited into the Blocked Accounts, in error or otherwise, such deposit shall be treated as a non-refundable payment to Agent, for itself and the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers, in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the property of Agent, for itself and the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers, to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations.
(b) For purposes of calculating the amount of the Revolving Loans available to Borrowers, such payments will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations on the Business Day of receipt by Agent of immediately available funds in the Agent Payment Account provided such payments and notice thereof are received in accordance with Agent’s usual and customary practices as in effect from time to time and prior to 12:00 p.m. New York time, and if not, then on the next Business Day. For the purposes of calculating interest on the Obligations, for the sole and equal benefit of Congress and Documentation Agent, such payments or other funds received will be applied (conditional upon final collection) to the Obligations (i) upon an Event of Default or any Compliance Triggering Event and during any Availability Compliance Period, one (1) Business Day after receipt of immediately available funds by Agent in the Agent Payment Account or (ii) at all other times, on the same day of the receipt of immediately available funds by Agent in the Agent Payment Account provided such payments or other funds and notice thereof are prior to 12:00 p.m. New York time, and if not, then on the next Business Day.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon any Compliance Triggering Event and during any Availability Compliance Period, each Borrower and its shareholders, directors, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall, acting as trustee for Agent, receive, as the property of Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral which come into their possession or under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Agent. In no event shall the same be commingled with any Borrower’s funds. Borrowers agree to reimburse Agent on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank at which a Blocked Account or any other deposit account is established or any other bank or person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Agent’s payments to or indemnification of such bank or person. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Agent for such amounts pursuant to this Section 6.3(c) shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.
58
6.4 Payments.
(a) Borrowers shall pay all Obligations when due. Payments on Obligations shall be made by Borrowers remitting funds to the Agent Payment Account or, at any time when an Event of Default or an Availability Compliance Period exists, by payments and proceeds of Collateral being directly remitted to the Agent Payment Account as provided in Section 6.3 or such other place as Agent may designate from time to time. Agent shall apply payments received or collected from Borrowers or Obligors or for the account of Borrowers or Obligors (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) to the specific Obligation designated by Borrowers in connection with such payment so long as a Priority Event has not occurred and is continuing, and otherwise, as follows:
(i) so long as no Priority Event shall have occurred and be continuing, or will result from any of the following payment applications:
(A) first, to pay in full all indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to Agent from Borrowers and the Guarantors (other than fees);
(B) second, ratably to pay in full indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to Lenders from Borrowers and Guarantors (other than fees);
(C) third, ratably to pay in full all fees payable by Borrowers under the Financing Agreements then due;
(D) fourth, ratably to pay in full interest due in respect of the Loans;
(E) fifth, to pay or prepay principal in respect of Special Agent Advances;
(F) sixth, to pay principal amounts permitted to be paid under the terms of Section 2.3(d) hereof, if any, in respect of the Term Loan;
(G) seventh, to pay principal in respect of the Revolving Loans then outstanding (whether or not then due) until paid in full;
(H) eighth, to cash collateralize any outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations if required under the terms of this Agreement;
(I) ninth, to pay any Obligations due in respect of the Bank Products, if any; and
(J) tenth, to pay any other Obligations then due, in such order and manner as Agent determines; or
(ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Priority Event:
59
(A) first, to pay in full the expenses of Agent for the collection and enforcement of the Obligations and for the protection, preservation or sale, disposition or other realization upon the Collateral, including all expenses, liabilities and advances (including Special Agent Advances) incurred or made by or on behalf of Agent, in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and other expenses of Agent);
(B) second, to pay all Obligations, other than (1) the Term Loan and any Obligations related to the Term Loan, (2) the Early Termination Fee, and (3) any Obligations due with respect to Bank Products, until paid in full, in cash or other immediately available funds, in such order and manner as Agent shall elect in its discretion (including cash collateral for any outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement);
(C) third, to pay any Obligations due with respect to the Bank Products up to the amount of the then extant Bank Product Reserve,
(D) fourth, to pay the Term Loan and any Obligations related to the Term Loan until paid in full;
(E) fifth, to pay in full the Early Termination Fee;
(F) sixth, to pay any remaining Obligations due in respect of the Bank Products; and
(G) seventh, ratably to pay in full all other Obligations.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:
(i) if the payment of any expenses, costs, scheduled servicing fees (such servicing fees to consist of scheduled servicing fees existing on the date hereof along with any increases to such servicing fees which have been consented to by Ableco) and/or interest (other than default interest charged during the existence of an Event of Default) to Agent for the account of itself and Revolving Loans would accrue and become due but for the occurrence of an Insolvency Event and any such amounts are not allowed or allowable in whole or in part (any such amounts are hereinafter referred to as the “Specified Amounts”), then Agent and Revolving Loans shall receive payment in full of the Specified Amounts (but not the items excluded from Specified Amounts above) before any payment of the Term Loan or any Obligations related to the Term Loan; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent Agent or the Revolving Loans from recovering any default interest charged during the existence of an Event of Default from any Borrower or Guarantor not subject to an Insolvency Event, which amounts shall be payable to Agent and Revolving Loans before any payment of the Term Loan or any Obligations related to the Term Loan;
60
(ii) should any payment or distribution on security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by a Lender other than in accordance with this Section 6.4, such Lender shall receive and hold the same in trust, for the benefit of Agent, the other Lenders and the Bank Product Providers, and shall forthwith deliver the same to Agent (together with any endorsement or assignment of such Lender where necessary), for application by Agent to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.4;
(iii) unless so directed by Borrowers, Agent shall not apply any payments which it receives to any Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans except on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans and if payments are received or collected from Borrowers that otherwise would be applied to Eurodollar Rate Loans, provided no Event of Default or Availability Compliance Period exists, Borrowers may instruct Agent to remit such funds to Borrowers, otherwise, such payments shall be held by Agent and shall bear interest at the Federal Funds Rate per annum commencing on the second Business Day following the date such payments are received or collected from Borrowers and continuing through the date such payments are applied to the Obligations, which shall be upon the expiration of the first Interest Period after receipt or collection of such payments, to the extent of the principal amount of the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loan or otherwise, in Agent’s sole discretion, remitted to Borrowers; and
(iv) to the extent any Borrower uses any proceeds of the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral or to repay any Indebtedness used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral, payments in respect of the obligations shall be deemed applied first to the Obligations arising from Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations that were not used for such purposes and second to the Obligations arising from Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations the proceeds of which were used to acquire rights in or the use of any Collateral in the chronological order in which such Borrower acquired such rights or use.
(c) At Agent’s option, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements may be charged directly to the loan accounts of Borrowers maintained by Agent. Borrowers shall make all payments to Agent and Lenders on the Obligations free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any setoff, counterclaim, defense, restrictions or conditions of any kind. If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, Agent or any Lender is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender. Borrowers shall be liable to pay to Agent and Lenders, and do hereby indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders harmless for the amount of any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 6.4(c) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by
61
Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 6.4(c) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(d) Except as required by law, Borrowers shall make all payments hereunder free and clear of and without deduction for or withholding of any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions or charges and penalties, interest and all other liabilities with respect thereto imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof (collectively, “Taxes”), excluding (1) Taxes imposed on or measured by the Agent’s or any Lender’s net income or capital and franchise taxes imposed on the Agent or any Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Agent or such Lender is organized or in which the Agent’s or such Lender’s lending office is located or any political subdivision thereof and (2) Taxes that are in effect and would apply at the time such Lender becomes a Lender (all such nonexcluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Covered Taxes”). If the Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Covered Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Agent or any Lender, then the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required withholdings and deductions of Covered Taxes (including deductions and withholdings of Covered Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this paragraph), the Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum the Agent or such Lender would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. The Borrowers shall make such deductions or withholdings and the Borrowers shall pay the full amount so deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. The Agent and each Lender shall provide any documentation prescribed by applicable law, properly completed and executed, as will permit payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder without the imposition of Covered Taxes. If the Agent or any Lender receives a refund or credit in respect of Covered Taxes, then the Agent or such Lender will pay over the amount of such refund or credit to Borrowers to the extent that the Agent or such Lender has received indemnity payments or additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6.4(d), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining such refund or credit and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund or credit).
6.5 Authorization to Make Loans. Agent and Lenders are authorized to make the Loans and provide the Letter of Credit Accommodations based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an officer of a Borrower or other authorized person or, at the discretion of Agent, if such Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations; provided, however, that Agent and Lenders shall direct the Loans only into those accounts of a Borrower authorized in writing by more than one Authorized Officer. The foregoing sentence notwithstanding, if Agent or a Lender makes a Loan into an account of a Borrower designated by a Person who no longer is an Authorized Officer and Agent did not receive notice that such Person is no longer an Authorized Officer, such Loan will still be considered an Obligation hereunder. All requests for Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder shall specify the date on which the requested advance is to be made or Letter of Credit Accommodations established (which day shall be a Business Day for any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation and must be the date hereof with respect to the Term Loan) and the amount of the requested Loan. Requests received after 12:00 p.m. New York time on any day shall be deemed to have been made as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. All Loans under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to, and
62
at the request of and for the benefit of, Borrowers or when deposited to the credit of any Borrower or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of Borrowers or in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6.6 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Term Loan provided by or on behalf of the Term Loan Lenders to Borrowers hereunder only for (a) to pay the dividend permitted under Section 9.11(i) hereof, (b) costs, expenses and fees in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and consummation of any other permitted transactions contemplated hereby which will take place on the Closing Date, and (c) for general operating, working capital and other proper corporate purposes of Borrowers not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof. All Revolving Loans made or Letter of Credit Accommodations provided to or for the benefit of Borrowers pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by Borrowers only for general operating, working capital and other proper corporate purposes of Borrowers and Parent not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof. None of the proceeds of any Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended.
6.7 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement: (a) the making and conversion of Loans shall be made among the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to the Loans and (b) each payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of Lenders in respect of any Obligations due on a particular day shall be allocated among the Lenders entitled to such payments based on their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall be distributed accordingly.
6.8 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
(a) Each Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (but subject, as among Agent and Lenders, to the provisions of Section 12.3(b) hereof), to offset balances held by it for the account of any Borrower at any of its offices, in dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any Loans owed to such Lender or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to any Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify Borrowers and Agent thereof; provided, that, such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.
(b) If any Lender (including Agent) shall obtain from any Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more than its Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Loans or more than its share of such other amounts then due
63
hereunder or thereunder by Borrowers to such Lender than the percentage thereof received by any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the amount of such excess and simultaneously purchase from such other Lenders a participation in the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or such interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as otherwise agreed by Lenders. To such end all Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participation sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
(c) Each Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation (or direct interest) as provided in this Section may exercise, in a manner consistent with this Section, all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
(d) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaims or similar rights or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, assign such rights to Agent, for itself and the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers, and, in any event, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
(a) In order to administer the Credit Facility in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between Agent and Lenders, Agent may, at its option, subject to the terms of this Section, make available, on behalf of Lenders, the full amount of the Loans requested or charged to Borrowers’ loan accounts or otherwise to be advanced by Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof, without requirement of prior notice to Lenders of the proposed Loans.
(b) With respect to all Loans made by Agent on behalf of Lenders as provided in this Section, the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans shall be computed weekly, and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Loans as of 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each settlement computation; provided, that, Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the above described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly, but in no event more than twice in any week. Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders after the end of each week, or at such lesser period or periods as Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereinafter referred to as a “Settlement Period”). If the summary statement is sent by Agent and received by a Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. New York time, then
64
such Lender shall make the settlement transfer described in this Section by no later than 3:00 p.m. New York time on the same Business Day and if received by a Lender after 12:00 p.m. New York time, then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer by no later than 3:00 p.m. New York time on the next Business Day following the date of receipt. If, as of the end of any Settlement Period, the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans is more than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans as of the end of the previous Settlement Period, then such Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the preceding sentence) transfer to Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the increase. Alternatively, if the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans for the previous Settlement Period, then, if the summary statement is prepared and delivered to Lenders by Agent prior to 12:00 p.m. New York time, then Agent shall make the transfer described in this Section by no later than 3:00 p.m. New York time on the same Business Day and if prepared and delivered to Lenders by Agent after 12:00 p.m. New York time, then Agent shall make the transfer by no later than 3:00 p.m. New York time on the next Business Day following the date of receipt, by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the decrease. The obligation of each of the Lenders and the Agent to transfer such funds and effect such settlement shall be irrevocable. Agent and each Lender agrees to xxxx its books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations. Each Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Loans to the extent such Loans have been funded by such Lender. Because the Agent on behalf of Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Loans prior to the time when Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid such Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by Agent in accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by Borrowers or actually settled with the applicable Lender as described in this Section.
(c) To the extent that Agent has made any such amounts available and the settlement described above shall not yet have occurred, upon repayment of any Loans by Borrower, Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to any amounts made available by Agent pursuant to this Section. In lieu of weekly or more frequent settlements, Agent may, at its option, at any time require each Lender to provide Agent with immediately available funds representing its Pro Rata Share of each Loan, prior to Agent’s disbursement of such Loan to Borrowers. In such event, all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan hereunder.
(d) If Agent is not funding a particular Loan to Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.9(a) on any day, Agent may assume that each Lender will make available to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan requested or otherwise made on such day and Agent may, in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to or for the benefit of Borrowers on such day. If Agent makes such corresponding amount
65
available to Borrowers and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s option based on the arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of Agent’s demand, at the highest interest rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to such Loans. During the period in which such Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, the amount so advanced by Agent to or for the benefit of Borrowers shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Loan made by Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay Agent, Agent shall promptly thereafter notify Borrowers of such failure and Borrowers shall pay such corresponding amount to Agent for its own account within five (5) Business Days of Borrowers’ receipt of such notice. A Lender who fails to pay Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Loans made available by the Agent on such Lender’s behalf, or any Lender who fails to pay any other amount owing by it to Agent, in each case within two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due, is a “Defaulting Lender”. Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, relend to Borrowers the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Total Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0). This Section shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until such default is cured. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by any Borrower or any Obligor of their duties and obligations hereunder.
(e) Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Total Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by any Lender hereunder in fulfilling its Total Commitment.
6.10 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and subject to Section 12.3 hereof, each Lender shall be entitled
66
to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
SECTION 7. COLLATERAL REPORTING AND COVENANTS

(ix) such other reports as to the Collateral as Agent shall reasonably request from time to time.
(b) If any Borrower’s records or reports of the Collateral are prepared or maintained by an accounting service, contractor, shipper or other agent, such Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes such service, contractor, shipper or agent to deliver such records, reports, and related documents to Agent and to follow Agent’s instructions with respect to further services at any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing.
7.2 Accounts Covenants.

No credit, discount, allowance or extension or agreement for any of the foregoing shall be granted to any account debtor, Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor except in the ordinary course of such
68
Borrower’s business in accordance with the current practices of such Borrower as in effect on the date of the Original Loan Agreement. So long as an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, no Borrower shall, without the prior consent of Agent, settle, adjust or compromise any material claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with any account debtor, Credit Card Issuer, Credit Card Processor. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall, at its option, have the exclusive right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with account debtors, Credit Card Issuers or Credit Card Processors or grant any credits, discounts or allowances.
(b) With respect to each Account: no payments shall be made thereon except payments delivered to Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, there shall be no material setoffs, deductions, contras, defenses, counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto except as reported to Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and none of the transactions giving rise thereto will violate any applicable State or Federal Laws or regulations, all documentation relating thereto will be legally sufficient under such laws and regulations and all such documentation will be legally enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(c) Each Borrower shall notify Agent promptly of: any notice of a material default by such Borrower under any of the Credit Card Agreements or of any default which has a reasonable likelihood of resulting in the Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor ceasing to make payments or suspending payments to such Borrower, any notice from any Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor that such person is ceasing or suspending, or will cease or suspend, any present or future payments due or to become due to such Borrower from such person, or that such person is terminating or will terminate any of the Credit Card Agreements, and the failure of such Borrower to comply with any material terms of the Credit Card Agreements or any terms thereof which has a reasonable likelihood of resulting in the Credit Card Issuer or Credit Card Processor ceasing or suspending payments to such Borrower.
(d) Upon an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right at any time or times, in Agent’s name or in the name of a nominee of Agent, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Receivables or other Collateral, by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or otherwise.

7.5 Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent (and all persons designated by Agent) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes Agent, in such Borrower’s, or Agent’s name, to, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing (i) demand payment on Receivables or other Collateral, (ii) enforce payment of Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of such Borrower’s rights and remedies to collect any Receivable or other Collateral, (iv) sell or assign any Receivable upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as the Agent deems advisable, (v) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew an Account, (vi) discharge and release any Receivable, (vii) prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against an account debtor or other obligor in respect of any Receivables or other Collateral, (viii) notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of remittances from account debtors or other obligors in respect of Receivables or other proceeds of Collateral to an address designated by Agent, and open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Borrower and handle and store all mail relating to the Collateral, (ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in Agent’s determination, to fulfill such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, (x) take control in any manner of any item of payment in respect of Receivables or constituting Collateral or otherwise received in or for deposit in the Blocked Accounts or otherwise received by Agent or any Lender, (xi) have access to any lockbox or postal box into which remittances from account debtors or other obligors in respect of Receivables or other proceeds of Collateral are sent or received, (xii) endorse such Borrower’s name upon any items of payment in respect of Receivables or constituting Collateral or otherwise received by Agent and any Lender and deposit the same in Agent’s account for application to the Obligations, (xiii) endorse such Borrower’s name upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, or similar document or agreement relating to any Receivable or any goods pertaining thereto or any other Collateral, including any warehouse or other receipts, or bills of lading and other negotiable or non-negotiable documents, (xiv) clear Inventory the purchase of which was financed with Letter of Credit Accommodations through U.S. Customs or foreign export control authorities in such Borrower’s name, Agent’s name or the name of Agent’s designee, and to sign and deliver to customs officials powers of attorney in such Borrower’s own name for such purpose, and to complete in such Borrower’s or Agent’s name, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith and collect the proceeds thereof, and (xv) sign such Borrower’s name on any verification of Receivables and notices thereof to account debtors or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof.

7.6 Right to Cure. Agent may, at its option, upon notice to Borrowers, (a) cure any default by any Borrower under any material agreement with a third party that affects the Collateral, its value or the ability of Agent to collect, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or the rights and remedies of Agent or any Lender therein or the ability of any Borrower or any
71

Agent may add any amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge Borrowers’ loan accounts therefor, such amounts to be repayable by Borrowers on demand. Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of any Borrower or any Obligor. Any payment made or other action taken by Agent or any Lender under this Section shall be (a) made by Agent or such Lender after Agent or such Lender makes reasonable efforts to consult with Borrowers with respect thereto, and (b) without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed accordingly.
7.7 Access to Premises. From time to time as requested by Agent, at the cost and expense of Borrowers, (a) Agent and its designees (which shall include Documentation Agent) shall contemporaneously have complete access to all of each Borrower’s personnel and premises during normal business hours and after notice to, or at any time and without notice to Borrowers if an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, for the purposes of inspecting, verifying and auditing the Collateral and all of each Borrower’s books and records, including the Records, and (b) Borrowers shall promptly furnish to Agent such copies of such books and records or extracts therefrom as Agent may request, and (c) Agent or any Lender or Agent’s designee may use during normal business hours such of any Borrower’s equipment, supplies and premises as may be reasonably necessary for the foregoing and if an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing for the collection of Receivables and realization of other Collateral.
SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders the following (which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement), the truth and accuracy of which are a continuing condition of the making of Loans and providing Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrowers:
8.1 Corporate Existence, Power and Authority. Each Borrower is a corporation duly organized and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation identified in its Information Certificate and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing in all states or other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on such Borrower’s financial condition, results of operation or business or the rights of Agent in or to any of the Collateral. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder by each Borrower (a) are all within such Borrower’s corporate powers, (b) have been duly authorized, (c) are not in contravention of law or the terms of such Borrower’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which such Borrower is a party or by which such Borrower or its property are bound, except for those lease agreements of Xxxxxx
72
for which Xxxxxx did not obtain consents from the parties thereto with respect to the Acquisition and this Agreement and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of, or require or give rise to any obligation to grant, any lien, security interest, charge or other encumbrance upon any property of such Borrower other than liens in favor of Agent or any Lender as contemplated hereby. This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to which each Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
8.2 Name; State of Organization; Chief Executive Office; Collateral Locations.
(a) The exact legal name of each Borrower is as set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement and in each Borrower’s Information Certificate. No Borrower has, during the five years immediately prior to the date of the Original Loan Agreement, been known by or used any other corporate or fictitious name or been a party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets out of the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in such Borrower’s Information Certificate.
(b) Each Borrower is an organization of the type and organized in the jurisdiction set forth in such Borrower’s Information Certificate. Each Borrower’s Information Certificate accurately sets forth the organizational identification number of such Borrower or accurately states that such Borrower has none and accurately sets forth the federal employer identification number of such Borrower.
(c) The chief executive office and mailing address of each Borrower and each Borrower’s Records concerning Accounts are located only at the address(es) identified as such in such Borrower’s Information Certificate and its only other places of business and the only other locations of Collateral, if any, are the addresses set forth in such Borrower’s Information Certificate, subject to the rights of Borrowers to establish new locations in accordance with Section 9.2 below. Each Borrower’s Information Certificate correctly identifies any of such locations which are not owned by such Borrower and sets forth the owners and/or operators thereof.
8.3 Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change. All financial statements relating to Borrowers (or any of them) which have been or may hereafter be delivered by Borrowers (or any of them) to Agent and Lenders have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as to any interim financial statements, to the extent such statements are subject to normal year-end adjustments and do not include any notes) and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and the results of operation of Borrowers as at the dates and for the periods set forth therein. Except as disclosed in any interim financial statements furnished by Borrowers to Agent prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise fully and accurately disclosed to Agent and Ableco in writing, there has been no act, condition or event which has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect since the date of the most recent audited financial statements of Borrowers furnished by Borrowers to Agent prior to the date of this Agreement.
8.4 Priority of Liens; Title to Properties. The security interests and liens granted to Agent under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements upon filing the appropriate
73
documents (including UCC financing statements and filings with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office), but only if and to the extent that a security interest may be so perfected under applicable laws, constitute valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests in and upon the Collateral subject only to the liens indicated on the Information Certificates and the other liens permitted under Section 9.8 hereof.
8.5 Tax Returns. Each Borrower has filed, or caused to be filed, in a timely manner (including any extensions) all federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns, reports and declarations that are required to be filed by it. All information in such tax returns, reports and declarations is complete and accurate in all material respects. Each Borrower has paid or caused to be paid all taxes due and payable or claimed due and payable in any assessment received by it, except taxes (i) the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and available to such Borrower and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside on its books or (ii) the nonpayment of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Adequate provision has been made for the payment of all accrued and unpaid material Federal, State, county, local, foreign and other taxes whether or not yet due and payable and whether or not disputed.
8.6 Litigation. Except as set forth in the Information Certificates, (a) there are no investigations by any Governmental Authority pending, or to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge threatened, against or affecting any Borrower, its assets or business and (b) there is no action, suit, proceeding or claim by any Person pending, or to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge threatened, against any Borrower or its assets or goodwill, or against or affecting any transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, which if adversely determined against such Borrower has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

10.2 Remedies.
(a) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent and Lenders shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the UCC and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to or consent by any Borrower or any Obligor, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder, under any of the other Financing Agreements, the UCC or other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in Agent’s discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by any Borrower or any Obligor of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Subject to Section 12 hereof, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, at any time or times, proceed directly against any Borrower or any Obligor to collect the Obligations without prior recourse to the Collateral.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent may, in its discretion, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall (i) accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Agent, for itself and the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h), all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable), (ii) make Reserves for all sales, excise or similar taxes that are past due, (iii) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (iv) require Borrowers or any Obligor, at Borrowers’ expense, to assemble and make available to Agent any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Agent, (v) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (vi) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, (vii) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, at any office of Agent or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Agent may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the Agent having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of any Borrower or any Obligor, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by each Borrower and Obligors and/or (viii) terminate this Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Agent upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Agent.

institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, Borrowers waive the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, upon Agent’s request, Borrowers will either, as Agent shall specify, furnish cash collateral to the issuer to be used to secure and fund Agent’s reimbursement obligations to the issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit Accommodations or furnish cash collateral to Agent for the Letter of Credit Accommodations.

(c) At any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent may, in its discretion, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, Agent shall, enforce the rights of any Borrower or any Obligor against any account debtor, secondary obligor or other obligor in respect of any of the Accounts or other Receivables. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may, in its discretion, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders, Agent shall, at such time or times (i) notify any or all account debtors (including Credit Card Issuers and Credit Card Processors), secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof that the Receivables have been assigned to Agent and that Agent has a security interest therein and Agent may direct any or all accounts debtors (including Credit Card Issuers and Credit Card Processors), secondary obligors and other obligors to make payment of Receivables directly to Agent, (ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Receivables or other obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of the Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Receivables or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and Agent and Lenders shall not be liable for any failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto, and (iv) take whatever other action Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests and the interests of Lenders. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at Agent’s request, all invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall state that the Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to Agent and are payable directly and only to Agent and Borrowers and Obligors shall deliver to Agent such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as Agent may require. In the event any account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall, upon Agent’s request, hold the returned Inventory in trust for Agent, segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other property, dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to Agent’s instructions, and not issue any credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto without Agent’s prior written consent.

(f) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent must be returned to any Borrower or any Obligor or paid to any other person pursuant to any
106
insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, that Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or any Obligor or such other person (without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind).
(g) Anything in this Agreement, any Financing Agreement or any other agreements or document related hereto to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action (other than actions against Agent for violating its obligations under this Agreement) to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or one or more Financing Agreements without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement or one or more Financing Agreements shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent. Each Lender agrees and acknowledges that Agent may exercise all rights and remedies provided to Agent under, and in accordance with, the terms of the Financing Agreements and applicable law (including, without limitation, with respect to the liens granted to Agent).
(h) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent or any Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Borrowers, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent or Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent or Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender would not be commercially
107
unreasonable in the exercise by Agent or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to any Borrower or to impose any duties on Agent or Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.
(i) For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise the rights and remedies hereunder, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, to the extent assignable and to the extent that the same would not conflict with or, under applicable law and the terms of such agreement, result in the invalidity or breach of any agreements (other than any agreement between any Borrower or any other Obligor) or otherwise result in the revocation, infringement, unenforceability, misappropriation or dilution of any rights in any Intellectual Property forming the subject thereof, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default) without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Borrower or any other Obligor, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks, trade names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos and other source of business identifiers and other Intellectual Property and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by such Borrower, wherever the same maybe located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
(j) Agent may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by Agent from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in such order as Agent may elect, whether or not then due. Borrowers and Obligors shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.
(k) Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, (i) Agent and Lenders may, at Agent’s option, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the direction of the Required Lenders, Agent and Lenders shall, without notice, (A) cease making Loans or arranging for Letter of Credit Accommodations or reduce the lending formulas or amounts of Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations available to Borrowers and/or (B) terminate any provision of this Agreement providing for any future Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to be made by Agent and Lenders to Borrowers, and (ii) Agent may, at its option, establish such Reserves as Agent determines without limitation or restriction, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein.

(b) Borrowers, Agent and Lenders irrevocably consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the State of New York and the State and Federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, County of New York, State of New York, whichever Agent may elect, and waive any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only in the courts described above (except that Agent and Lenders shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against any Borrower or any Obligor or its or their property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Agent deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against any Borrower or any Obligor or its or their property).
(c) Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth herein and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or, at Agent’s option, by service upon such Borrower in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service, such Borrower shall appear in answer to such process, failing which such Borrower shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by Agent against such Borrower for the amount of the claim and other relief requested.
(d) BORROWERS, AGENT AND LENDERS EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. BORROWERS, AGENT AND LENDERS EACH HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY BORROWER, AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
(e) Agent and Lenders shall not have any liability to any Borrower or any Obligor (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by such Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships
109
contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Agent and such Lender, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any such litigation, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this Agreement. Each Borrower: (i) certifies that neither Agent, any Lender nor any representative, agent or attorney acting for or on behalf of Agent or any Lender has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Agent and Lenders would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and (ii) acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, Agent and Lenders are relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications set forth in this Section 11.1 and elsewhere herein and therein.

No notice to or demand on any Borrower which Agent or any Lender may elect to give shall entitle any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

(c) Agent and Lenders shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its or their rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed as provided herein. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Agent or any Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Agent or any Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.3(a) above, in connection with any amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, in the event that any Lender whose consent thereto is required shall fail to consent or fail to consent in a timely manner (such Lender being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), but the consent of any other Lenders to such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that is required is obtained, if any, then Congress shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time thereafter, and upon the exercise by Congress of such right, such Non-Consenting Lender shall have the obligation, to sell, assign and transfer to Congress or such Eligible Transferee as Congress may specify, the Total Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender and all rights and interests of such Non-Consenting Lender pursuant thereto. Congress shall provide the Non-Consenting Lender with prior written notice of its intent to exercise its right under this Section, which notice shall specify on date on which such purchase and sale shall occur. Such purchase and sale shall be pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance (whether or not executed by the Non-Consenting Lender), except that on the date of such purchase and sale, Congress, or such Eligible Transferee specified by Congress, shall pay to the Non-Consenting Lender the amount equal to: (i) the principal balance of the Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender outstanding as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the effective date of such purchase and sale, plus (ii) amounts accrued and unpaid in respect of interest and fees payable to the Non-Consenting Lender to the effective date of the purchase (but in no event shall the Non-Consenting Lender be deemed entitled to any portion of the Early Termination Fee), minus (iii) if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Revolving Loan Lender, the amount of any closing fee received by such Non-Consenting Lender in connection with the Original Loan Agreement and any closing, consent or amendment fee received by such Non-Consenting Lender in connection with this Agreement, multiplied by the fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining, in the then current term of the Revolving Loan Facility and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the then current term of the Revolving Loan Facility. Such purchase and sale shall be effective on the date of the payment of such amount to the Non-
113
Consenting Lender and the Total Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender shall terminate on such date.
(e) The consent of Agent shall be required for any amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of Agent hereunder or under any of the other Financing Agreements, in addition to the consent of the Lenders otherwise required by this Section and the exercise by Agent of any of its rights hereunder with respect to Reserves, Eligible Credit Card Receivables, Eligible Damaged Goods Vendors Receivables, Eligible Sell-Off Vendors Receivables or Eligible Inventory shall not be deemed an amendment to the advance rates provided for in this Section 11.3.
11.4 Waiver of Counterclaims. Each Borrower waives all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other then compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto.
11.5 Indemnification. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold Agent and each Lender, and its officers, directors, agents, employees, advisors and counsel and their respective Affiliates (each such person being an “Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the fees and expenses of counsel except that no Borrower shall not have any obligation under this Section 11.5 to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to a matter covered hereby resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction (but without limiting the obligations of any Borrower as to any other Indemnitee). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to Agent and Lenders in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower 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, any of the other Financing Agreements or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable upon demand. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.
SECTION 12. THE AGENT
12.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes Congress to act as Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements with such powers as are specifically delegated to Agent by the terms of this
114
Agreement and of the other Financing Agreements, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Financing Agreements, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by any Borrower or any Obligor or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and (c) shall not be responsible to Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until the assignment thereof pursuant to an agreement (if and to the extent permitted herein) in form and substance satisfactory to Agent shall have been delivered to and acknowledged by Agent.
12.2 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders or all of Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Agents and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders.
12.3 Events of Default.
(a) Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or other failure of a condition precedent to the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, unless and until Agent has received written notice from a Lender, or a Borrower specifying such Event of Default or any unfulfilled condition precedent, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default or Failure of Condition” (each a “Notice of Default or Failure of Condition”). In the event that Agent receives such a Notice of Default or Failure of Condition, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Agent shall (subject to Section 12.7) take such action with respect to any such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to or by reason of such Event of Default or failure of condition precedent, as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of
115
Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding the existence or occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or any other failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement to the contrary, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12.8, Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, make Loans and issue or cause to be issued Letter of Credit Accommodations for the ratable account and risk of Lenders from time to time if Agent reasonably and in good faith believes making such Loans or issuing or causing to be issued such Letter of Credit Accommodations is in the best interest of Lenders.
(b) Except with the prior written consent of Agent, no Lender may assert or exercise any enforcement right or remedy in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations or other Obligations, as against any Borrower or any Obligor or any of the Collateral or other property of any Borrower or any Obligor.
12.4 Congress in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Total Commitment and the Loans made and Letter of Credit Accommodations issued or caused to be issued by it (and any successor acting as Agent), so long as Congress shall be a Lender hereunder, it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Congress in its individual capacity as Lender hereunder. Congress (and any successor acting as Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower (and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Agent, and Congress and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or any Obligor and any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.
12.5 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers hereunder and without limiting any obligations of Borrowers hereunder) ratably, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, for any and all claims of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the costs and expenses that Agent is obligated to pay hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided, that, no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement.
12.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Agent or other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrowers and Obligors and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other
116
Financing Agreements. Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrowers or Obligors of any term or provision of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any Borrower or any Obligor. Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any information received by Agent from any Borrower or any Obligor which is required to be provided to Lenders or which is deemed to be requested by Lenders hereunder and with a copy of any Notice of Default or Failure of Condition received by Agent from any Borrower or any Lender; provided, that, Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any other credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Borrower or any Obligor that may come into the possession of Agent.
12.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements, Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.5 hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
12.8 Additional Revolving Loans. Agent shall not make any Revolving Loans or provide any Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations would cause the aggregate amount of the total outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations to Borrowers to exceed the Borrowing Base, without the prior consent of all Lenders, provided, that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Agent may make any such additional Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation so long as: (a) the total principal amount of such additional Revolving Loans or such additional Letter of Credit Accommodations together with the principal amount of Special Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 12.11, shall not exceed the least of (i) $7,500,000, (ii) sum of (x) the amount which, when added to all other Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations and Special Agent Advances, would not cause the principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations and Special Agent Advances to exceed the Borrowing Base and (y) if applicable, an amount equal to any reduction, made with the consent of all Lenders, of the Excess Availability required by Section 9.17, and (iii) the amount which would not cause the total principal amount of all Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations and Special Agent Advances to exceed the Revolving Loan Limit, and (b) no such additional Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations shall be outstanding more than ninety (90) days after the date such additional Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation is made or issued (as the case may be), except as the Required Lenders may otherwise agree. Each Lender shall be obligated to pay Agent the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any such additional Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations.

12.9 Concerning the Collateral and the Related Financing Agreements. Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
12.10 Field Audit, Examination Reports and other Information; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:
(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report and a monthly or weekly Borrowing Base Certificate, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(vi), prepared by Agent (each field audit or examination report and monthly or weekly report with respect to the Borrowing Base being referred to herein as a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”);
(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent (A) does not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (B) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report;
(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding any Borrower and any Obligor and will rely significantly upon such Borrower’s and Obligor’s books and records, as well as on representations of such Borrower’s and Obligor’s personnel; and
(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use in accordance with the terms of Section 14.5 hereof, and not to distribute or use any Report in any other manner.
12.11 Collateral Matters.
(a) Subject to the limitations in Section 12.8, Agent may, at its option, from time to time, at any time on or after an Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing or upon any other failure of a condition precedent to the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, make such disbursements and advances (“Special Agent Advances”) which Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable either (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof or (ii) to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by Borrowers of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers or Obligors pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements consisting of (A) costs, fees and expenses and (B) payments to any issuer of Letter of Credit Accommodations. Special Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral. Special Agent Advances shall not constitute Revolving Loans but shall otherwise constitute Obligations hereunder. Agent shall notify Lenders and Borrowers in writing of each such Special Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Special Agent Advance. Without limitation of its obligations pursuant to Section 6.10, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to Agent,
118
upon Agent’s demand, in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Special Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to Agent by such Lender, then such Lender shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender and Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds, on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s option based on the arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of Agent’s demand, at the highest Revolving Loan Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Prime Rate Loans.
(b) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any security interest in, mortgage or lien upon, any of the Collateral (i) upon termination of all of the Total Commitments of all Lenders and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations and delivery of cash collateral to the extent required under Section 14.1 below, or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the applicable Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 9.7 hereof (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) constituting property in which no Borrower or Obligor owned an interest at the time the security interest, mortgage or lien was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) having a value in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period of less than $1,000,000 or (v) if required or permitted under the terms of any of the other Financing Agreements, including any intercreditor agreement, or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by all of Lenders. Except as provided above, Agent will not release any security interest in, mortgage or lien upon, any of the Collateral without the prior written authorization of all of Lenders. Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will promptly confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.
(c) Without any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Required Lenders, each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon Agent under this Section. Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the security interest, mortgage or liens granted to Agent upon any Collateral to the extent set forth above; provided, that, (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such security interest, mortgage or liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any security interest, mortgage or lien upon (or obligations of any Borrower or any Obligor in respect of) the Collateral retained by such Borrower or such Obligor.
(d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or any Obligor or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect of the Loans or Letter of
119
Credit Accommodations hereunder, or whether any particular reserves are appropriate, or that the liens and security interests granted to Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Financing Agreements or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender.
12.12 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral of Agent in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of any such Collateral for the benefit of Agent, the other Lenders and the Bank Product Providers as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
12.13 Successor Agent.
(a) Resignation of Current Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders and Borrowers. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and Borrowers, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance by the Lender so selected of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” as used herein and in the other Financing Agreements shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
(b) Upon Termination of Revolving Loan Facility or Purchase of all Revolving Loan Commitments. In the event that either (i) the Revolving Loan Facility is terminated and all Obligations (other than the Term Loan and any fees, interest or expenses solely related thereto) have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) the Term Loan Lenders purchase all of the Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with Section 10.2(d) hereof, Ableco shall immediately succeed (respectively) to the rights, duties and obligations of Agent and Documentation Agent under this
120
Agreement and then current Agent and Documentation Agent shall be released from all of their respective duties and obligations as Agent and Documentation Agent under this Agreement.
SECTION 13. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; SURETYSHIP WAIVERS.
13.1 Independent Obligations; Subrogation. The Obligations of each Borrower hereunder are joint and several. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives any claim, right or remedy which such Borrower now has or hereafter acquires against any other Borrower that arises hereunder including, without limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of Agent or any Lender against any Borrower or any Collateral which Agent or any Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise until the Obligations are fully paid and finally discharged. In addition, each Borrower hereby waives any right to proceed against the other Borrowers, now or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, and any other suretyship rights and claims, whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent, whether arising under express or implied contract or by operation of law, which any Borrower may now have or hereafter have as against the other Borrowers with respect to the Obligations until the Obligations are fully paid and finally discharged. Each Borrower also hereby waives any rights of recourse to or with respect to any asset of the other Borrowers until the Obligations are fully paid and finally discharged.
13.2 Authority to Modify Obligations and Security. Each Borrower acknowledges that any action taken by Agent and/or Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable law to: (a) renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change any other term or condition of, any document or agreement evidencing or relating to any Obligations as such Obligations relate to the other Borrowers, including, without limitation, to increase or decrease the rate of interest thereon; (b) accept, substitute, waive, defease, increase, release, exchange or otherwise alter any Collateral, in whole or in part, securing the other Borrowers’ Obligations; (c) apply any and all such Collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Agent and Lenders, in their sole discretion, may determine; (d) deal with the other Borrowers as Agent or any Lender may elect; (e) in Agent’s and Lenders’ sole discretion, settle, release on terms satisfactory to them, or by operation of law or otherwise, compound, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate any of the other Borrowers’ Obligations and/or any of the Collateral in any manner, and bid and purchase any of the collateral at any sale thereof; (f) apply any and all payments or recoveries from the other Borrowers as Agent or Lenders, in their sole discretion, may determine, whether or not such indebtedness relates to the Obligations; all whether such Obligations are secured or unsecured or guaranteed or not guaranteed by others; and (g) apply any sums realized from Collateral furnished by the other Borrowers upon any of its indebtedness or obligations to Agent or Lenders as they in their sole discretion, may determine, whether or not such indebtedness relates to the Obligations; shall not in any way diminish, release or discharge the liability of any Borrower hereunder (except to the extent that the Obligations are in fact repaid as a result of such action).
13.3 Waiver of Defenses. Upon an Event of Default by any Borrower in respect of any Obligations, Agent and Lenders may, at their option and without notice to any Borrower, proceed directly against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount of the liability
121
hereunder, or any portion thereof, and each Borrower waives any right to require Agent or any Lender to: (a) proceed against the other Borrowers or any other person whomsoever; (b) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral given to or held by Agent or any Lender in connection with the Obligations; (c) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of any of the Collateral except as otherwise provided herein; or (d) pursue any other remedy in Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Borrower whether or not action is brought against the other Borrowers and whether the other Borrowers be joined in any such action or actions; and each Borrower waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, and agrees that any payment of any Obligations or other act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable thereto shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to the liability hereunder.
13.4 Exercise of Agent’s and Lenders’ Rights. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Agent and Lenders in their sole discretion, without any notice or demand to such Borrower whatsoever and without affecting the liability of such Borrower hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which Agent or any Lender may have available to them against the other Borrowers.
13.5 Additional Waivers. Each Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the other Borrowers or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Borrowers or by reason of any act or omission of Agent or any Lender or others which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of the other Borrowers or any Obligations or any Collateral by operation of law or otherwise. The Obligations shall be enforceable against each Borrower without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Obligations with respect to any of the other Borrowers or any of the documents related thereto or any collateral security documents securing any of the Obligations. No exercise by Agent or any Lender of, and no omission of Agent or any Lender to exercise, any power or authority recognized herein and no impairment or suspension of any right or remedy of Agent or any Lender against any Borrower or any Collateral shall in any way suspend, discharge, release, exonerate or otherwise affect any of the Obligations or any Collateral furnished by the Borrowers or give to the Borrowers any right of recourse against Agent or any Lender. Each Borrower specifically agrees that the failure of Agent or any Lender: (a) to perfect any lien on or security interest in any property heretofore or hereafter given any Borrower to secure payment of the Obligations, or to record or file any document relating thereto or (b) to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or other proceeding) of any Borrower shall not in any manner whatsoever terminate, diminish, exonerate or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower hereunder.
13.6 Additional Indebtedness . Additional Obligations may be created from time to time at the request of any Borrower and without further authorization from or notice to any other Borrower even though the borrowing Borrower’s financial condition may deteriorate since the date hereof. Each Borrower waives the right, if any, to require Agent or any Lender to disclose to such Borrower any information it may now have or hereafter acquire concerning the other Borrowers’ character, credit, Collateral, financial condition or other matters. Each Borrower has established adequate means to obtain from the other Borrowers, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to such Borrower’s business and affairs, and assumes the
122
responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial and other conditions of the other Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations which diligent inquiry would reveal. Neither Agent nor any Lender need inquire into the powers of any Borrower or the authority of any of their respective officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act in their behalf, and any Obligations created in reliance upon the purported exercise of such power or authority is hereby guaranteed. All Obligations of each Borrower to Agent and Lenders heretofore, now or hereafter created shall be deemed to have been granted at each Borrower’s special insistence and request and in consideration of and in reliance upon this Agreement.
13.7 Notices, Demands, Etc. Except as expressly provided by this Agreement, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation whatsoever to make or give to any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby waives diligence, all rights of setoff and counterclaim against Agent or any Lender, all demands, presentments, protests, notices of protests, notices of protests, notices of nonperformance, notices of dishonor, and all other notices of every kind or nature, including notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional Obligations.
13.8 Revival. If any payments of money or transfers of property made to Agent or any Lender by any Borrower should for any reason subsequently be declared to be, or in Agent’s counsel’s good faith opinion be determined to be, fraudulent (within the meaning of any state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances), preferential or otherwise voidable or recoverable in whole or in part for any reason (hereinafter collectively called “voidable transfers”) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state law and Agent or any Lender is required to repay or restore, or in Agent’s counsel’s good faith opinion may be so liable to repay or restore, any such voidable transfer, or the amount or any portion thereof, then as to any such voidable transfer or the amount repaid or restored and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of Agent or any Lender related thereto, such Borrower’s liability hereunder shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored and shall exist as though such voidable transfer had never been made to Agent or such Lender.
13.9 Understanding of Waivers . Each Borrower warrants and agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 13 are made with full knowledge of their significance and consequences. If any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
SECTION 14. TERM; MISCELLANEOUS.
14.1 Term.
(a) Subject to Section 14.1(b) hereof, this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall become effective as of the date set forth on the first page hereof and shall continue in full force until the earlier of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date or (ii) the date that all Obligations have been fully and finally repaid in accordance with the terms hereof and all Total Commitments of all Lenders hereunder have been terminated. Borrowers may terminate this Agreement and all other Financing Agreements at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) and Agent may, at its option, and shall at the
123
direction of Required Lenders, terminate this Agreement and all other Financing Agreements at any time on or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
(b) The Revolving Loan Facility shall terminate on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may, at its option (or shall at the direction of any Revolving Loan Lender in writing received by Agent at least sixty (60) days prior to the then current Revolving Loan Maturity Date), terminate the Revolving Loan Facility or Borrowers may terminate the Revolving Loan Facility, in each case, effective on the then current Revolving Loan Maturity Date by giving to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior written notice. Upon the Revolving Loan Maturity Date or any other effective date of termination of the Financing Agreements, Borrowers shall pay to Agent all outstanding and unpaid Obligations, other than the Term Loan and any interest or fees solely related thereto, and shall furnish cash collateral to Agent (or at Agent’s option, a letter of credit issued for the account of Borrowers and at Borrowers’ expense, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, by an issuer acceptable to Agent and payable to Agent as beneficiary) in such amounts as Agent determines are reasonably necessary to secure Agent and Lenders from loss, cost, damage or expense, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection with any contingent Obligations, including issued and outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations and checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations and/or as to which Agent or any Lender has not yet received final and indefeasible payment. The amount of such cash collateral (or letter of credit, as Agent may determine) as to any Letter of Credit Accommodations shall be in the amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the amount of the Letter of Credit Accommodations plus the amount of any fees and expenses payable in connection therewith through the end of the latest expiration date of such Letter of Credit Accommodations. Such payments in respect of the Obligations and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in Federal funds to the Agent Payment Account or such other bank account of Agent, as Agent may, in its discretion, designate in writing to Borrowers for such purpose. Interest shall be due until and including the next Business Day, if the amounts so paid by Borrowers to the Agent Payment Account or other bank account designated by Agent are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, New York time.
(c) No termination of the Revolving Loan Facility, this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall relieve or discharge any Borrower or any Obligor of its respective duties, obligations and covenants under this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements until all Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid, and Agent’s continuing security interest in the Collateral and the rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder, under the other Financing Agreements and applicable law, shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been fully and finally discharged and paid and Lenders have no further obligations hereunder (following which all securing interests, liens and the like shall be released). Accordingly, each Borrower waives any rights it may have under the UCC to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral and Agent shall not be required to send such termination statements to any Borrower, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement and all Total Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations paid and satisfied in full in immediately available funds.
124
(d) If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof, in view of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits as a result thereof, Borrowers agree to pay an early termination fee upon the effective date of such termination (the “Early Termination Fee”) (i) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Loan Lenders, in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the Revolving Loan Limit if such termination occurs prior to November 27, 2004 or (ii) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Loan Lenders other than Congress, in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the Revolving Loan Commitments of all Revolving Loan Lenders other than Congress if such termination occurs on or after November 27, 2004 but prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, if the Revolving Loan Facility is terminated as a result of (x) a debt refinancing or initial public offering in which Arranger or its Affiliates is given the opportunity to participate or (y) the sale of substantially all the assets of Borrowers and Obligors or all the Capital Stock of Parent or NY&Co, then the Early Termination Fee shall be waived. The Early Termination Fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by the Revolving Loan Lenders as a result of such early termination and Borrowers agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. In addition, the Revolving Loan Lenders shall be entitled to the Early Termination Fee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h) hereof, even if Agent and the Lenders do not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement, but elect, at their option, to provide financing to Borrowers, or any of them, or permit the use of cash collateral under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Early Termination Fee constitutes part of the Obligations.

127
but this Agreement shall be construed as though it did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid or unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law.
14.5 Confidentiality.
(a) Agent and each Lender shall use all reasonable efforts to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information and safe and sound lending practices, any non-public information supplied to it by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement which is clearly and conspicuously marked as confidential at the time such information is furnished by any Borrower to Agent or such Lender, provided, that, nothing contained herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information: (i) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation, subpoena or court order, (ii) to bank examiners and other regulators, auditors and/or accountants, in connection with any litigation to which Agent or such Lender is a party, (iii) to any Lender or Participant (or prospective Lender or Participant) or to any Affiliate of any Lender so long as such Lender or Participant (or prospective Lender or Participant) or Affiliate shall have been instructed to treat such information as confidential in accordance with this Section 14.5, or (iv) to counsel for Agent or any Lender or Participant (or prospective Lender or Participant).
(b) In the event that Agent or any Lender receives a request or demand to disclose any confidential information pursuant to any subpoena or court order, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law or if permitted by applicable law, to the extent Agent or such Lender determines in good faith that it will not create any risk of liability to Agent or such Lender, Agent or such Lender will promptly notify Borrowers of such request so that Borrowers may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief or remedy and (ii) if disclosure of such information is required, disclose such information and, subject to reimbursement by Borrowers of Agent’s or such Lender’s expenses, cooperate with Borrowers in the reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the disclosed information which Borrowers so designate, to the extent permitted by applicable law or if permitted by applicable law, to the extent Agent or such Lender determines in good faith that it will not create any risk of liability to Agent or such Lender.
(c) In no event shall this Section 14.5 or any other provision of this Agreement, any of the other Financing Agreements or applicable law be deemed: (i) to apply to or restrict disclosure of information that has been or is made public by any Borrower, any Obligor or any third party or otherwise becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation hereof, (ii) to apply to or restrict disclosure of information that was or becomes available to Agent or any Lender (or any Affiliate of any Lender) on a non-confidential basis from a person other than a Borrower, (iii) to require Agent or any Lender to return any materials furnished by any Borrower to Agent or a Lender or prevent Agent or a Lender from responding to routine informational requests in accordance with the Code of Ethics for the Exchange of Credit Information promulgated by The Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Associates or other applicable industry standards relating to the exchange of credit information. The obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Section 14.5 shall supersede and replace the obligations of Agent

and Lenders under any confidentiality letter signed prior to the date of the Original Loan Agreement.
14.6 Successors. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Agent, Lenders, Bank Product Providers, Borrowers, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign its rights under this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein without the prior written consent of Agent and Lenders. Any such purported assignment without such express prior written consent shall be void. No Lender may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent, except as provided in Section 14.7 below. The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of Borrowers, Agent and Lenders with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and there shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements.
14.7 Assignments; Participations.
(a) Each Lender may, with the prior written consent of Agent, assign all or, if less than all, a portion equal to at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender, of such rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Transferees or Approved Funds (but not including for this purpose any assignments in the form of a participation), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Acceptance; provided, that, such transfer or assignment will not be effective until: (i) it is recorded by Agent on the Register; and (ii) Agent shall have received for its sole account payment of a processing fee from the assigning Lender or the assignee in the amount of $5,000. Anything contained in this Section 14.7 hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, the consent of Borrowers or Agent shall not be required, the minimum assignment amount shall not be applicable, an Assignment and Acceptance shall not be required to be delivered to, accepted by or recorded by Agent on the Register in order to be effective, valid, binding and enforceable and payments of the processing fee shall not be required if (x) such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of a Lender or (y) such assignment is made by a Term Loan Lender with regard to all or any portion of its Term Loan Commitment; provided, however, that Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned until such time as written notice of such assignment shall have been delivered by the assigning Lender or the assignee to Agent. The foregoing notwithstanding, unless the Term Loan Lenders exercise their rights under Section 10.2(d) or the Revolving Loan Facility has been terminated, Congress agrees that it shall hold not less than 33 1/3% of the Revolving Loan Commitments and Congress and The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. agree that they shall hold, collectively, not less than 66 2/3% of the Revolving Loan Commitments.
(b) Agent, acting for this purpose only as agent of Borrowers, shall maintain a register of the names and addresses of Lenders, their Total Commitments and the principal amount of their Loans (the “Register”); provided, that, in the case of an assignment or delegation
129
covered by Section 14.7(a) hereof, which is not reflected in the Register, the assigning Lender shall maintain a comparable register (the “Lender Register”) on behalf of Borrowers. Agent shall also maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall modify the Register to give effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register and Lender Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Obligors, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register or Lender Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and Lender Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(c) If required under Section 14.7, upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, and otherwise from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and to the other Financing Agreements and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations (including, without limitation, the obligation to participate in Letter of Credit Accommodations) of a Lender hereunder and thereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.
(d) By execution and delivery to each other of an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignor and assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or the execution, legality, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower, any Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Borrower or any Obligor of any of the Obligations; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, together with such other documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements are required to be performed by it as a Lender. Agent and Lenders may furnish any information concerning any Borrower or any Obligor in the possession of Agent or any Lender from time to time to assignees and Participants.
130
(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Total Commitment and the Loans owing to it and its participation in the Letter of Credit Accommodations, without the consent of Agent or the other Lenders); provided, that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Total Commitment hereunder) and the other Financing Agreements shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and Borrowers, the other Lenders and Agent 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 Financing Agreements, (iii) the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by Borrowers or any Obligor hereunder (including any amounts payable under Sections 3.3 or 6.4(d)) shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.
(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lenders from such Federal Reserve Bank. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Loans (a ”Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Xxxxx’x, Standard & Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). Borrowers shall cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization, provided that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose material additional costs on the Borrowers and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or materially increase the obligations, of the Borrowers under the Financing Agreements or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Borrowers the financial terms of the Loans, (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization, and (c) providing in connection with any rating of the Loans a certificate (i) agreeing to indemnify the Lenders and their Affiliates, any of the Rating Agencies, or any party providing credit support or otherwise participating in the Securitization (collectively, the “Securitization Parties”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the ”Liabilities”) to which the Lenders, their Affiliates or such Securitization Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Financing Agreement or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of any Borrower, Guarantor or Obligor to the Lenders in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or their successors or assigns of the Loans and (ii) agreeing to reimburse the Lenders and their Affiliates
131
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Liabilities.
(g) Borrowers shall assist Agent or any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 14.7 in whatever manner reasonably necessary in order to enable or effect any such assignment or participation, including (but not limited to) the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be requested and the delivery of informational materials, appraisals or other documents for, and the participation of relevant management in meetings and conference calls with, potential Lenders or Participants. Borrowers shall certify the correctness, completeness and accuracy, in all material respects, of all descriptions of Borrowers and their affairs provided, prepared or reviewed by Borrowers that are contained in any selling materials and all other information provided by it and included in such materials.
(h) A Registered Term Loan (and the Registered Term Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register or any comparable Register that is maintained by the assigning Lender (and each Registered Term Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Term Loan (and the Registered Term Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, or any comparable Register that is maintained by the assigning Lender, together with the surrender of the Registered Term Note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such Registered Term Note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new Registered Term Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Term Loan (and the Registered Term Note, if any evidencing the same), Agent and Borrowers shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Term Loan (and the Registered Term Note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of an assignment by a Lender that is not reflected in Agent’s Register, the assigning Lender shall maintain a comparable register on behalf of Agent. In the event that any Term Loan Lender sells participations in a Registered Term Loan, such Term Loan Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in such Registered Term Loan (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Term Loan (and the Registered Term Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Registered Term Note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Term Loan (and the Registered Term Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.
14.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, any supplements hereto or thereto, and any instruments or documents delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith represents the entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof between the parties hereto, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter hereof, whether oral
132
or written. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any schedule or exhibit hereto, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
14.9 Counterparts, Etc. This Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements by telefacsimile shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of such other Financing Agreements. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of any such agreement by telefacsimile shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of such agreement.
133
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Documentation Agent, Agent, the Lenders and Borrowers have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
