Each of the Borrowers and Lender hereby agree as follows:
Certain Defined Terms. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Annex I attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Accounting Terms; Calculations. All accounting and financial terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time. All financial statements shall reflect the Borrowers adoption of FAS 143 (if applicable), and, if any change in GAAP in itself affects the calculation of any financial covenant set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower Representative may by written notice to the Lender, or the Lender may, by written notice to the Borrower Representative, require that such covenant thereafter be calculated in accordance with GAAP as in effect (and applied by the Borrowers) immediately before such change in GAAP occurs. If any such notice is given, compliance certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement after such change shall be accompanied by reconciliations of the difference between the calculation set forth therein and a calculation made in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time after such change occurs.
Authorization of Borrower Representative. For purposes of this Agreement, each of the Borrowers hereby: (i) authorizes the Borrower Representative to make such requests, give such notices or furnish such certificates as may be required or permitted by this Agreement for the benefit of such Borrower and (ii) authorizes the Lender to treat such requests, notices, certificates or consents made, given or furnished by the Borrower Representative as having been made, given or furnished by such Borrower for purposes of this Agreement. Each of the Borrowers agrees to be bound by all such requests, notices, certificates and consents and other such actions by the Borrower Representative and agrees that all notices to and demands upon the Borrower Representative in respect of any Borrower shall constitute effective notice to and demand upon such Borrower for all purposes hereof.
Designation of Borrower Representative as Lead Borrower. For purposes of this Agreement, each of the Borrowers hereby designates and appoints the Borrower Representative to act as the Borrowers’ agent for all purposes under this Agreement.
Exhibit 10.1
. In this Agreement, for the purpose of computing periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”. Unless the context otherwise requires, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument, or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not any particular provision hereof, and (d) any reference to payment, repayment, or prepayment shall be construed as referring to payment of immediately available funds in Dollars.
USA Patriot Act Notification; Representations and Undertaking. Each Borrower is hereby notified that federal Law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. Each Borrower hereby represents that such Borrower is not subject to any anti-terrorism or anti-money laundering law, regulation, or list of any U.S. government agency (including, without limitation, Executive Order No. 13224, the USA Patriot Act and the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control SDN list) that prohibits or limits Lender from making the Loan or from otherwise conducting business with such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to provide such documentary and other evidence of such Borrower’s identity as may be reasonably requested by the Lender at any time to enable the Lender to verify such Borrower’s identity or to comply with any applicable Law or regulation, including, without limitation, the USA Patriot Act.
Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender agrees to make the Loan on the Closing Date.

Lender Discretion; Establishment of Reserves. The Lender shall have the right, from time to time, in the good faith exercise of its reasonable credit judgment, to establish reserves in such amounts and with respect to such matters as the Lender deems necessary or appropriate and to increase or decrease such reserves. In exercising such reasonable credit judgment, the Lender may take into account factors which: (i) will or could reasonably be expected to affect adversely in any material respect the enforceability or priority of the Lender’s Liens or the amount which the Lender would be likely to receive in the liquidation of the Borrowers’ real properties or (ii) may demonstrate that any collateral report or financial information concerning any Borrower is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect. In the exercise of such reasonable credit judgment, the Lender may also establish reserves against anticipated obligations, contingencies or conditions affecting any Borrower or its Subsidiaries including: (a) tax liabilities
Exhibit 10.1
and other obligations owing to governmental entities, (b) asserted litigation liabilities, (c) anticipated remediation for compliance with Environmental Laws, or (d) obligations owing to any lessor of real property, any warehouseman or mortgagor on third party mortgaged sites.

Such entries by the Lender shall not be a condition to any Borrower’s obligation to repay the Obligations. Each entry by the Lender in the Loan Account shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the data entered.
Exhibit 10.1
. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to charge the Loan Account of the Borrowers with the Loan and all other Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Loan Account of the Borrowers will be credited in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement with all payments received by the Lender directly from the Borrowers or otherwise for the account of the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement on the Business Day after such receipt. The Lender shall send the Borrower Representative statements in accordance with the Lender’s standard procedures. Any and all such periodic or other statements or reconciliations of the Loan Account shall, to the extent permitted by law, be final, binding and conclusive upon the Borrowers absent manifest error unless the Lender is notified to the contrary by the Borrower Representative within 30 days after receipt thereof by the Borrower Representative. Such notice shall only be deemed an objection as to those items specifically objected to therein.
Crediting and Application of Specific Payments. The Borrowers shall make all payments to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect to the Obligations not later than 2:00 p.m. (Central time) on the day when due, without setoff, counterclaim, defense or deduction of any kind, to the Lender’s account maintained for such purpose at the Payment Office of the Lender. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. (Central time) shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.
Payment not on Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any such extension or reduction of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fees or other compensation.
Repayment. Commencing on the dates specified in the Note, and continuing on the same day of each month until the Loan Termination Date, Borrowers shall pay interest only on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan at the rate of interest set forth in the Note. The entire principal balance of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be due and payable in full on the Loan Termination Date.
Prepayment. Borrowers shall have no right to prepay all or any part of the principal of the Note prior to the Loan Termination Date, without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole discretion.
General Cash Management Provisions. Item 5.1 of the Disclosure Schedule lists: (i) all present Lockboxes and all Deposit Accounts maintained by each Borrower and each Subsidiary thereof, (ii) the name and address of each such Lockbox and (iii) the account number of each such Deposit Account.
Remittances of Net Proceeds. Each Borrower shall notify all remitters of Net Proceeds to forward such Net Proceeds directly to the Lender. Any Remittances of Net Proceeds received directly by any Borrower shall be deemed held by such Borrower in trust and as fiduciary for the Lender. Each Borrower agrees not to commingle any such Remittances of Net Proceeds with any of such Borrower’s other funds or property, but to hold such funds separate and apart in
Exhibit 10.1
trust and as fiduciary for the Lender until such Remittances are transferred to the Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to deliver immediately such directly received Remittances of Net Proceeds to the Lender for application to the Loan Account.
Actions Upon Event of Default. Upon request by the Lender during the existence of an Event of Default, each Borrower will forthwith, upon receipt, transmit and deliver to the Lender, in the form received, all cash, checks, drafts and other instruments or writings for the payment of money (properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by the Lender) which may be received by such Borrower at any time in full or partial payment or otherwise as Proceeds of any of the Collateral. Except as the Lender may otherwise consent in writing, any such items which may be so received by such Borrower during the existence of an Event of Default will not be commingled with any other of its funds or property, but will be held separate and apart from its own funds or property and upon express trust for the Lender until delivery is made to the Lender. Each Borrower will comply with the terms and conditions of any consent given by the Lender pursuant to the foregoing sentence. Upon written notice by the Lender to the Borrower Representative during the existence of an Event of Default (a “Control Election”), all items or amounts which are delivered by each Borrower to the Lender on account of partial or full payment or otherwise as Proceeds of any of the Collateral shall be deposited to the credit of a Deposit Account (a “Cash Collateral Account”) of such Borrower maintained by the Lender, as security for payment of the Obligations. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall also have the right to require the Borrowers to provide the Lender with exclusive control of all of their Lockboxes (and the Lender shall have the option, at its discretion to apply any items of payment received therein to the Obligations). Following the Control Election, no Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any funds or checks or other items of payment deposited in any Cash Collateral Account or any Lockbox. The Lender may, from time to time, in its discretion, and shall upon request of the Borrower Representative made not more than once in any week, apply all or any of the then balance, representing collected funds, in any Cash Collateral Account, toward payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order of application as the Lender may determine, and the Lender may, from time to time, in its discretion, release all or any of such balance to the Borrowers.
Costs of Collection. All reasonable costs of collection of each Borrower’s Accounts, including out-of-pocket expenses, administrative and record-keeping costs, reasonable attorney’s fees, and all service charges and costs shall be the responsibility of such Borrower, whether the same are incurred by the Lender or such Borrower. To the extent that the Lender incurs any such costs, fees or charges in enforcing its rights hereunder, the Lender, in its sole discretion, may charge such costs, fees and charges against the Loan Account as an Obligation. Each Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Lender harmless from and against any loss or damage with respect to any Collection deposited in any Cash Collateral Account which is dishonored or returned for any reason. If any Collection or Remittance of Net Proceeds is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, the Lender, in its sole discretion, may charge the amount thereof against the Loan Account as an Obligation (but only if such amount was credited to the Loan Account prior thereto). The Lender shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from any error, omission, failure or negligence on the part of the Lender, except losses or damages resulting from the Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Exhibit 10.1
. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to: (a) notify any or all Account Debtors that the Accounts have been assigned to the Lender, and the other holders of Obligations, and that the Lender has a security interest therein, and (b) direct such Account Debtors to make all payments due from them to such Borrower upon the Accounts directly to the Lender or to a Lockbox designated by the Lender; provided, however, with respect to the occurrence of a particular Event of Default, the Lender’s right to send such notice shall expire as to such Event of Default if the Lender has not exercised such right prior to the time that such Event of Default is no longer continuing.
Interest Rate and Fees.
Interest Rate. The unpaid principal balance of the Loan from day to day outstanding shall bear interest as specified in the Note.
Default Interest. If any principal, interest or fees due under this Agreement shall not be paid when due or if the Note or any amounts due under the Note shall not be paid at maturity, whether such maturity occurs by reason of lapse of time or by operation of any provision of acceleration of maturity therein contained, or if there shall otherwise occur an Event of Default which is continuing, then the principal of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, the unpaid interest thereon shall, upon the Lender’s written election, bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate equal to the Past Due Rate (as defined in the Note)(sometimes referred to herein or the other Loan Documents as the “Post-Default Rate”).
Computations of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest on the Loan hereunder and of fees and other compensation hereunder shall be made in all cases on the basis of a year of 360 days in each case for the actual number of days elapsed (commencing on the day the Loan was advanced but excluding the day the Loan shall be paid in full) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Lender of interest, fees or other amounts of compensation due hereunder shall be rebuttably presumed to be correct.
Additional Payments. In addition to the payments of principal and interest to be made pursuant to the Note, Borrowers shall pay to Lender an additional payment (the “Annual Additional Payment”) for each Loan Year equal to eight percent (8%) (the “Percentage Rate”) of the following: Gross Receipts attributable for all Collateral for such Loan Year in excess of $35,000,000. Within 60 days following the end of each Loan Year, Borrowers shall furnish Lender with a statement, verified by a corporate officer of Borrowers, showing the amount of such Gross Receipts for the preceding Loan Year, which statement shall be accompanied by Borrowers payment of the Annual Additional Payment, if any, due. The term “Loan Year” as used in this Agreement shall mean a period of 12 full calendar months. The first Loan Year shall begin on the first day of the calendar month following the Effective Date. Each succeeding Loan Year shall commence on the anniversary of the first Loan Year.
Audit Rights. Lender shall have the right, not more often than once each year, to audit Borrowers’ records of Gross Receipts, but only for the purpose of ascertaining the amount
Exhibit 10.1
of Gross Receipts during the preceding Loan Year. Such audit shall be made on behalf of Lender by a certified public accountant to be selected by Lender. If Lender wishes to audit Borrowers’ records for any Loan Year, Lender shall notify Borrowers and proceed with such audit within 12 months after the end of the Loan Year in question. Should Lender fail to exercise the right to audit the records of Borrowers within 12 months after the end of any Loan Year, then Lender shall have no further right to audit the records of Borrowers for such Loan Year, and Borrowers’ statement of Gross Receipts for such Loan Year shall conclusively be deemed to be correct. Any such audit by Lender shall be at Lender’s own expense, except as hereinafter provided. If any such audit discloses that Borrowers have understated the Gross Receipts for such Loan Year by more than 3% and Lender is entitled to any additional Annual Additional Payment as a result of such understatement, then Borrowers shall promptly pay to Lender the cost of such audit. Borrowers shall, in any event, pay Lender the amount of any deficiency in Annual Additional Payment.
Gross Receipts. The term “Gross Receipts” shall mean: (i) the entire amount of the price charged, whether wholly or partially in cash or on credit, or otherwise, for all goods, wares, merchandise and chattels of any kind sold, leased, licensed or delivered (including, without limitation, ski lift tickets and resort charges), and all charges for services sold or performed in, at, upon or from any part of or through the use of the Collateral or any part thereof by a Payment Borrower or any other party, or by means of any mechanical or other vending device; and (ii) all gross income of Payment Borrowers, and any other party from any operations in, at, upon or from the Collateral which are neither included in nor excluded from Gross Receipts by other provisions of this Agreement, but without duplication. Gross Receipts shall not include, or if included, there shall be deducted (but only to the extent they have been included), as the case may be, (i) the net amount of cash or credit refunds upon Gross Receipts, where the merchandise sold or some part of it is returned by the purchaser to and accepted by any Payment Borrowers (but not exceeding in any instance the selling price of the item in question); (ii) the amount of any sales tax, use tax or retail excise tax which is imposed by any duly constituted governmental authority directly on sales and which is added to the selling price (or absorbed therein) and is paid to the taxing authority by Borrowers (but not any vendor of any Payment Borrowers); (iii) exchanges of merchandise between the Collateral and other ski resorts of Borrowers or its Affiliates to the extent the same are made solely for the convenient operation of a Borrower’s business and not for the purpose of depriving Lender of the benefit of Gross Receipts; (iv) returns of merchandise to shippers, suppliers or manufacturers; (v) discount sale to employees and agents of Payment Borrowers of merchandise not intended for resale; (vi) all receipts or proceeds from borrowings; (vii) gift certificates or like vouchers, if not issued for value, until the time they have been converted into a sale or redemption; (viii) income, revenues, receipts or proceeds from a Payment Borrower’s investment of any funds in a deposit institution; and (ix) separately stated interest and service charges. In addition to the foregoing, the following shall be deducted from Gross Receipts to the extent otherwise included in the calculation thereof: (a) credits or refunds made to customer; (b) all federal, state, county and city sales taxes or other similar taxes, (c) all occupational taxes, use taxes and other taxes which must be paid by a Payment Borrower or collected by a Payment Borrower, by whatever name they are known or assessed, and regardless of whether or not they are imposed under any existing or future orders, regulations, laws or ordinances; and (d) agency commissions paid to independent third parties for selling tickets and surcharges in excess of the standard ticket price for tickets purchased by use of credit cards, but only to the extent such commissions or surcharges are actually remitted to independent third parties.
Exhibit 10.1
. If, after the Effective Date of this Agreement, (a) the introduction of any Law, rule or regulation or any change therein, (b) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Law, rule or regulation by any central bank or other governmental authority or (b) the compliance by Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of Law) shall increase the cost to Lender (other than any increase in the cost of the overhead of Lender) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining the Loan to Borrowers, then Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by Lender to the Borrower Representative, pay to Lender additional amounts sufficient to indemnify Lender for such increased cost.
Risk-Based Capital. If Lender shall have determined that after the Effective Date, 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 by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender or the parent corporation of any thereof 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, in each case made subsequent to the Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by Lender to be material to the rate of return on the capital or assets of Lender or the parent corporation thereof as a consequence of the obligations of Lender hereunder to a level below that which Lender or the parent corporation thereof could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance, then from time to time, within 15 Business Days after demand by Lender to the Borrower Representative, the Borrowers shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or the parent corporation thereof for such reduction.
Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to the Lender, a continuing security interest in and a pledge of all of the tangible and intangible personal property and assets of such Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located including, without limitation: (a) all Accounts, (b) all Inventory, (c) all General Intangibles and Intellectual Property, (d) all Equipment and Fixtures, (e) all Investment Property, (f) all Deposit Accounts and any and all monies credited by or due from the Lender or any other depository to such Borrower, whether in a Cash Collateral Account, any other Deposit Account, or any Lockbox, (g) all Pledged Collateral and any Additional Pledged Collateral (arising after the date hereof), (h) all Instruments, Documents, documents of title, policies and certificates of insurance, securities, goods, choses in action, Chattel Paper, cash or other property, to the extent owned by such Borrower or in which such Borrower has an interest, (i) all Collateral of such Borrower which now or hereafter is at any time in the possession or control of any of the Lender or in transit by mail or carrier to or from any of the Lender or in the possession of any Person acting in Lender’s behalf, without regard to whether Lender received the same in pledge, for safekeeping, as agent for collection or transmission or otherwise or whether Lender had conditionally released the same, and any and all balances, sums, proceeds and credits of such Borrower with Lender, (j) all accessions to, substitutions for, and all replacements, Products and Proceeds of the herein above-referenced
Exhibit 10.1
property of such Borrower described in this Section including, but not limited to, proceeds of insurance policies insuring such property, and proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty payable to such Borrower and (k) all books, records, and other property (including, but not limited to, credit files, programs, printouts, computer software, and disks, magnetic tape and other magnetic media, and other materials and records) of such Borrower pertaining to any such above-referenced property of such Borrower; provided, however, that in no event shall the Borrowers be required to pledge more than 65% of the voting power of all classes of the capital stock of a Subsidiary of any Borrower that is not a Domestic Subsidiary.
Perfection.
Perfection by Filing; Authorization by Debtor. Each Borrower (i) hereby authorizes the Lender, at any time and from time to time, to file financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that comply with and contain any other information required by the UCC for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any such financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment and (ii) otherwise agrees to take such other action and execute such assignments or other instruments or documents, in each case as the Lender may request, to evidence, perfect, or record the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, now existing or hereafter arising, or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to any Collateral. Any such financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment may be filed by the Lender on behalf of the Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to file financing statements listing the collateral granted to the Lender hereunder as “all personal property and other assets of the debtor” or words of similar effect.
Other Perfection Methods. Each Borrower shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as the Lender may reasonably request for the Lender: (i) to obtain a perfected security interest in any Pledged Collateral existing on the date hereof or any Additional Pledged Collateral hereafter arising, (ii) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, of any bailee, warehouseman or consignee having possession of any of the Collateral, stating that such Person holds such Collateral for the Lender as secured party, (iii) to obtain “control” of any Investment Property, Letter-of-credit rights, or “electronic chattel paper” (as such terms are defined by the UCC with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes “control” for such items of Collateral), with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, and (iv) otherwise to assure the continued perfection and priority of the Lender’s security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein. If any Borrower shall at any time acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC), the Borrower Representative shall promptly notify the Lender thereof in a writing, therein providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and upon delivery thereof to the Lender, such Borrower shall be deemed to thereby grant to the Lender (and such Borrower hereby grants to the Lender) a security interest and lien in and to such commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of and governed by this Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to narrow the scope of the Lender’s security interests or the perfection or priority thereof or to impair or otherwise limit any of the rights, powers, privileges, or remedies of the Lender under the Loan Documents.
Exhibit 10.1
. No Borrower shall nor shall any Borrower permit any Subsidiary to, without giving the Lender at least 30 days' prior written notice thereof: (a) make any change in any location where Inventory or Equipment of such Borrower or such Subsidiary is maintained, or locate any of such Inventory or Equipment at any location not listed on the Disclosure Schedule (other than in connection with sales of Inventory or Equipment in the ordinary course of business or Inventory or Equipment in transit), (b) change its jurisdiction of organization or make any change in the location of its chief executive office, principal place of business or the office where its records pertaining to its Accounts and General Intangibles are kept, (c) add any new places of business or (d) make any change in its legal name or corporate structure.
Reinstatement. The provisions of this Section 8 and Section 9 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in respect of the Borrowers should any petition be filed by or against any Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, should any Borrower become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any part of such Borrower’s assets or should any other Financial Impairment relating to such Borrower occur. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
Further Assurances.

No further direction or authorization from Borrowers shall be necessary for such disbursements, and all such disbursements shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Lender with respect to the funds so disbursed. The execution of this Agreement by Borrowers shall and hereby does constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to Lender so disburse such funds and make such performance.
Borrower Cross-Guaranty; Maximum Liability. To induce the Lender to make the Loan to the Borrowers, and in consideration thereof, each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally and irrevocably: (a) guarantees, jointly and severally, to the Lender the due and punctual payment in immediately available funds of all Obligations owing by any or all of the other Borrowers hereunder (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and the other Loan Documents, and (b) agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Lender in enforcing its rights with respect to such Obligations (collectively, the “Borrower Guaranteed Obligations”). To the extent that the Obligations of a Borrower are construed to be a Borrower Guaranty of the Obligations of any other Borrower to the Lender, and to the extent it is necessary for the enforceability of such a Borrower Guaranty, the maximum liability of a Borrower Guarantor under its Borrower Guaranty shall be the greatest amount which, after taking into consideration all other valid and enforceable debts and liabilities of such Borrower Guarantor, an applicable court has determined (after any appeals) would not render such Borrower Guarantor insolvent, unable to pay its debts as they become due, inadequately capitalized for the business which it intends to conduct (in all such cases, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §101, et. seq., or any other similar state Law), or unable to pay a judgment rendered upon a claim that is the subject of an action or proceeding pending at the time when the obligations of this Borrower Guaranty are incurred or increased. In addition to the foregoing, each Borrower shall also execute the Guaranty, as a Guarantor.
Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower Guarantors under the Borrower Guaranty shall be joint and several, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by, except for payment of Obligations and to the extent permitted by applicable Law (i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of the Loan or any other obligation under this Agreement or any Loan Document by operation of Law or otherwise; (ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any Loan Document; (iii) any modification, amendment, waiver, release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security, or of any guarantee or other liability of any third party, of the Obligations of any Borrower or its Subsidiary with respect to which the Borrower Guaranty relates; (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower Guarantor or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any of the Obligations of the Borrower Guarantors contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document; (v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which any Borrower Guarantor may have at any time against the Lender or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, provided, however, that nothing herein
Exhibit 10.1
shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; (vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Borrower or its Subsidiary for any reason of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any provision of applicable Law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Borrower under this Agreement or any Loan Document; or (vii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by a Borrower, a Borrower Guarantor, the Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under this Section 14.
Discharge; Reinstatement. The obligations of each Borrower Guarantor under this Section 14 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of any amount payable by Borrower Guarantor under this Section 14, any other section of this Agreement or other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower Guarantor or otherwise, the other Borrower Guarantors’ obligations under this Section 14 with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time. This Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until the payment in full of all amounts payable under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents.
Waiver. No Borrower Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce any remedy which the Lender now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, any endorser or any Guarantor or other Borrower Guarantor in respect of all or any part of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations paid by such Borrower Guarantor until all of the Obligations shall have been fully and finally paid to the Lender. Each Borrower Guarantor hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Lender and to secure payment of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Borrower Guarantor to the Lender. Each Borrower Guarantor also waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Borrower Guaranty. Each Borrower Guarantor further waives all notices of the existence, creation or incurring of additional Obligations by any other Borrower, and also waives all notices that the principal amount, or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect all or any part of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the extent permitted by Law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any Collateral given to the Lender to secure payment of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations.
Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Borrower or Borrower Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of a Borrower Guaranteed Obligation is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or Borrower Guarantor all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the other Borrower Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Lender.
Subrogation and Contribution Rights. If any Borrower Guarantor makes a payment in respect of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, it shall be subrogated to the rights, if any, of
Exhibit 10.1
the payees against the other Borrower Guarantors with respect to such payment and shall have the rights of contribution set forth below against the other Borrower Guarantors; provided, however, that such Borrower Guarantor shall not enforce its rights to any payment by way of subrogation or by exercising its right of contribution until all the Obligations, as the case may be, owing to the Lender, shall have been finally paid in full and may not under applicable insolvency laws be required to be repaid by the Lender.
Guaranteed Obligation and Contribution Payments. Subject to all of the Obligations owing to the Lender having been finally paid in full and not subject to required repayment under applicable insolvency laws, each Borrower Guarantor shall make, and agrees with each of the other Borrower Guarantors (and the successors and assigns of such Borrower Guarantors) to make, payments in respect of the Obligations of such Borrower Guarantor to which such other Borrower Guarantors are subrogated or contribution payments to which such other Borrower Guarantors are entitled, such that, taking into account all such payments on account of subrogation or contribution rights.
Pro Rata Sharing. Each Borrower Guarantor shall have paid to the other Borrower Guarantors on account of such subrogation and contribution rights, (A) all Obligations the benefit of which has been received by such Borrower Guarantor or which relate to Obligations the benefit of which has been received by such Borrower Guarantor or (B) if the aggregate of all such payments by all Borrower Guarantors to all other Borrower Guarantors would exceed the outstanding Obligations, such Borrower Guarantor’s pro rata share of the outstanding Obligations, in accordance with the amount of the benefit received by the Borrower Guarantor as described under subsection (A) hereinabove; and
Deficiency. If there remain Obligations unpaid after application of the payments referred to above, the deficiency shall be shared among the Borrower Guarantors pro rata in proportion to their respective net worth on the Closing Date of this Agreement.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent Lender. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 15.2 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
Assignment by Lender. Lender may assign, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate all or any portion of this Agreement or grant participations herein, or in any of its rights and security hereunder, including, without limitation, the Note and, in case of such assignment, Borrowers will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of Lender in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrowers by such assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable by Lender but for such assignment. In connection with any such assignment,
