Β
-19-
Β
("Term
Loan")Β in
an original principal amount equal to Fifty-Five Million Seven Hundred
Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars ($55,765,000). Each Lender's obligation to
fund the
Term Loan shall be limited to such Lender's Term Loan Commitment Percentage,
and
no Lender shall have any obligation to fund any portion of any Term Loan
required to be funded by any other Lender, but not so funded. No Borrower
shall
have any right to reborrow any portion of the Term Loan that is repaid
or
prepaid from time to time.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β [Reserved.]
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Mandatory
Prepayments.
There
shall become due and payable and Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan in
an
amount equal to the following on the following dates:
Β
(i)Β Β Β Β An
amount
equal to any Casualty Proceeds that Administrative Agent elects to apply
to the
Obligations in accordance with Section
9.3,
plus
any Casualty Proceeds that Administrative Agent elects to not apply to
the
Obligations in accordance with Section
9.3,
but
only if Borrowers fail to reinvest such Casualty Proceeds in replacement
assets
comparable to the assets giving rise to such Casualty Proceeds if such
reinvestment is permitted pursuant to the terms of SectionΒ 9.3;
and
Β
(ii)Β Β Β Β An
amount
equal to any Covenant Prepayment required under Section
6.7,
on the
date provided for in Section
6.7.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Optional
Prepayments.
Other
than mandatory prepayments under Sections
2.1(c)(i)
and
2.1(c)(ii),
the
Term Loan may not be prepaid during the Closed Period. The Term Loan may
be
prepaid in full, but not in part, at any time following the expiration
of the
Closed Period, provided,
however,
that
Borrowers shall have given Administrative Agent at least thirty (30)Β days
prior written notice of the date of such prepayment together with an
appropriately completed Payment Notification.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β All
Prepayments.
Except
as this Agreement may specifically provide otherwise, all prepayments of
the
Term Loan shall be applied by Administrative Agent to the Obligations in
such
order and manner as Administrative Agent may elect.
Β
(f)Β Β Β Β Extension
Option.
Borrowers may extend the Commitment Expiry Date two (2) times for a period
of
twelve (12) months each (each, an "Extension Option") upon Borrowers'
satisfaction of the following conditions:
Β
(i)Β Β Β Β Borrowers
shall have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice of each such
election (an "Extension Notice") no earlier than ninety (90) days and no
later
than forty-five (45) days prior to the applicable Commitment Expiry
Date;
Β
(ii)Β Β Β Β no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Event of Default shall
have
occurred;
Β
(iii)Β Β Β Β Administrative
Agent shall have received each Borrower's and Guarantor's current financial
statements, certified as correct by each Borrower and
Β
Guarantor,
and no material adverse change with respect to any Project, any Borrower
or
Guarantor shall have occurred; and
Β
(iv)Β Β Β Β the
principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan shall be $4,200,000 or
less.
Β
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β Interest.
From
and following the Closing Date, the Loans and the other Obligations shall
bear
interest at the sum of the Base Rate plus the applicable Base Rate Margin.
Interest on all Loans is payable in arrears on the first (1st) day of each
month
and on the maturity of such Loans, whether by acceleration or
otherwise.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Commitment
Fee.
Prior
to or contemporaneous with Borrowers' execution of this Agreement, Borrowers
have or shall pay Administrative Agent, for its own account and not for
the
benefit of any other Lenders, a fee in an amount equal to Five Hundred
Fifty-Seven Thousand Six Hundred Fifty Dollars ($557,650).
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Exit
Fee.
On the
Termination Date or upon any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan as permitted
hereunder or upon any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan, Borrowers
shall pay
to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders a fee (the "Exit
Fee")Β equal
to the Term Loan Commitment multiplied
by
the
Applicable Exit Fee Percentage. If any such prepayments are made, then
upon such
prepayment, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the proportionate
amount
of the Exit Fee attributable to such prepayment; provided,
however,
that in
the event of a casualty or Taking and the application of any Casualty Proceeds
therefrom to a prepayment of a portion of the Obligations is required by
Administrative Agent, payment of the Exit Fee allocable to such prepayment
shall
not be required. The term "Applicable
Exit Fee Percentage"
means:
one percent (1.0%)Β if the payment is made on or before the twenty-fourth
(24th)Β full
calendar month following the Closing Date; and one half of one percent
(.50%)Β if the payment is made during or after the twenty-fifth
(25th)Β full calendar month following the Closing Date; provided,
however,
that if
the Termination Date occurs during the Closed Period, the Exit Fee shall
be an
amount equal to the sum of one percent (1.0%)Β multiplied
by
the Term
Loan Commitment plus
the
amount of interest which would have been due and payable from the Termination
Date through the end of the Closed Period, assuming a Base Rate equal to
the
Base Rate as of the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
(i) the
Term Loan is repaid with the proceeds of an acquisition or refinancing
mortgage
loan facility provided by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx with respect to both Projects or
(ii)
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx fails to deliver a term sheet with respect to providing such
mortgage loan facility within thirty (30) days after receipt from Borrowers
of a
written request for a term sheet, the Exit Fee will be waived.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Audit
Fees.
Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account and not
for the
benefit of any other Lenders, all reasonable fees and expenses in connection
with audits of Borrowers' books and records, audits, valuations or appraisals
of
Β
the
Collateral, audits of Borrowers' compliance with applicable Laws and such
other
matters as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, which shall be
due and
payable on the first Business Day of the month following the date of issuance
by
Administrative Agent of a written request for payment thereof to Borrowers.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Event of Default has occurred
and remains outstanding, Administrative Agent shall not charge audit fees
in
respect of any inspections or related actions unless such audit shows
discrepancies exceeding 10%. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and
is then
continuing audits by Lender shall not be undertaken more frequently than
annually.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β Wire
Fees.
Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account and not
for the
account of any other Lenders, on written demand, any and all reasonable
fees,
costs or expenses which Administrative Agent pays to a bank or other similar
institution (including, without limitation, any fees paid by Administrative
Agent to any other Lender)Β arising out of or in connection with
(i)Β the forwarding to Borrowers or any other Person on behalf of Borrowers,
by Administrative Agent, of proceeds of the Loans made by any Lender to
Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii)Β the depositing for
collection, by Administrative Agent, of any check or item of payment received
or
delivered to Administrative Agent on account of Obligations.
Β
(f)Β Β Β Β Real
Property Inspection Fee.
Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account and not
for the
benefit of any other Lenders, on the Closing Date, and on each anniversary
of
the Closing Date thereafter, a real property inspection fee of Two Thousand
Dollars ($2,000)Β per Project per year.
Β
(g)Β Β Β Β Late
Charges.
If
payments of principal (other than a final installment of principal upon
the
Termination Date), interest due on the Obligations, or any other amounts
due
hereunder or under the other Financing Documents are not timely made and
remain
overdue for a period of five (5)Β days, Borrowers, without notice or demand
by Administrative Agent, promptly shall pay to Administrative Agent, for
its own
account and not for the benefit of any other Lenders, as additional compensation
to Administrative Agent in administering the Obligations, an amount equal
to
five percent (5%)Β of each delinquent payment.
Β
(h)Β Β Β Β Computation
of Interest and Related Fees.
All
interest and fees under each Financing Document shall be calculated on
the basis
of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
The date of funding of Loan shall be included in the calculation of interest.
The date of payment of a Loan shall be excluded from the calculation of
interest. If a Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made, one
(1)Β day's interest shall be charged. Interest on all Loans is payable in
arrears on the first (1st)Β day of each month and on the maturity of such
Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
Β
(i)Β Β Β Β Automated
Clearing House Payments.
If an
Event of Default has occurred and Administrative Agent so elects, monthly
payments of interest and amortization shall be paid to Administrative Agent
by
Automated Clearing House debit of immediately available funds from the
financial
institution account designated by Borrower Representative
Β
in
the
Automated Clearing House debit authorization executed by Borrowers or Borrower
Representative in connection with this Agreement, and shall be effective
upon
receipt. Borrowers shall execute any and all forms and documentation necessary
from time to time to effectuate such automatic debiting. In no event shall
any
such payments be refunded to Borrowers.
Β
Β
The
portion of the Term Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced, if so
requested
by such Lender, by a promissory note executed by Borrowers on a joint and
several basis (a "Term
Loan Note")Β in
an original principal amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
Term
Loan Commitment.
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β Requirements.
Borrowers agree to establish and maintain all of the reserves and escrows
required in this Section
2.5.
All
sums so reserved or escrowed may be commingled with the general funds of
Administrative Agent and no such sums shall be deemed to be held in trust
for
the benefit of Borrowers. Interest at the rates available to Lender for
escrow
depository accounts shall accrue and be added to the funds held by Lender
pursuant to Sections
2.5(b)Β and
2.5(c)Β hereunder.
No interest shall be payable on any other funds reserved or escrowed hereunder.
All sums so reserved or escrowed shall be part of the Collateral and shall
stand
as additional security for all of the Obligations. If Administrative Agent
at
any time reasonably determines that the amount on deposit in any reserve
or
escrow is insufficient for its intended purposes, Borrowers shall, within
ten
(10)Β days following notice from Administrative Agent, deposit such
additional sums as may reasonably be required by Administrative Agent.
In the
event of any default by Borrowers under the terms of this Agreement or
any other
Financing Document, Administrative Agent may, at its discretion, apply
amounts
on hand in the reserves or escrows to cure such default. Upon demand of
Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall replenish the applicable reserve
or escrow
to restore any sums so applied by Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence
of
an Event of Default and/or the maturity of any portion of the Obligations,
the
moneys then remaining on deposit with Administrative Agent shall, at
Administrative Agent's option, be applied against the Obligations in such
order
and manner as Administrative Agent may elect or as may otherwise be required
under this Agreement.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Real
Property Taxes.
At the
time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or
interest
due under the Notes, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent a sum
equal to
one-twelfth (1/12)Β of the amount estimated by Administrative Agent to be
sufficient (when aggregated with an initial deposit to be designated by
Administrative Agent and paid by Borrowers to Administrative Agent on the
Closing Date or otherwise upon demand of Administrative Agent)Β to pay at
least thirty (30)Β days before they become due and payable, all taxes,
assessments and other similar charges levied against any portion of the
Collateral constituting real property (collectively, the "Taxes").
In
the event such real property or any portion thereof is part of a larger
tract
for purposes of taxation and assessments, Administrative Agent may require
the
Borrowers
Β
to
have
the real property taxed and assessed as a separate parcel or separate parcels,
or, in the alternative, to make the deposits required under this section
based
upon the taxation and assessment of the larger tract. So long as no Event
of
Default exists hereunder, Administrative Agent shall apply the escrows
sums to
pay the Taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the obligation
of
Borrowers to pay the Taxes is not affected or modified by the provisions
of this
paragraph.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Insurance
Premiums.
If an
Event of Default or failure to timely pay insurance premiums occurs, then
Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an initial deposit amount which
is
sufficient when aggregated with the monthly payment described below to
pay the
Insurance Premiums next becoming due and on the first (1st)Β day of each
calendar month thereafter a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12)Β of the amount
estimated by Administrative Agent to be sufficient to pay at least thirty
(30)Β days before they become due and payableΒ all insurance premiums
and other similar charges in connection with the insurance required to
be
carried by Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or the other Financing
Documents
(collectively, the "Insurance
Premiums").
So
long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, Administrative Agent shall
apply
the sums to pay the Insurance Premiums. Except as provided in the preceding
sentence, the obligation of Borrowers to pay the Insurance Premiums is
not
affected or modified by the provisions of this section. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, if the insurance premiums are paid via a premium financing
arrangement to which Administrative Agent has given its written consent,
which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, then (i)Β the amount to be
escrowed with Administrative Agent at any given time in respect of such
Insurance Premiums shall be three (3)Β months of payments under the premium
finance arrangement, (ii)Β Borrowers shall tender to Administrative Agent
each month (on such schedule as Administrative Agent shall reasonably
request)Β evidence that Borrowers (or the owner of the policy if the
Borrowers share in a blanket policy)Β has paid the applicable premium
finance amount due for the preceding month, and (iii)Β Administrative Agent
shall have no obligation to remit such escrowed sums in payment of the
premium
finance amounts.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Capital
Replacement Reserve.
At the
time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or
interest
due under any of the Notes, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent
monthly
deposits in the amount of $25 per residential unit at each Project (the
"Replacement
Minimum")Β to
be held by Administrative Agent in a capital replacement reserve ("Capital
Replacement Reserve").
So
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the funds
contained in the Capital Replacement Reserve shall be utilized to pay directly
or to reimburse Borrowers solely for capital improvements approved in advance
by
Administrative Agent in writing. Subject to the foregoing, Administrative
Agent
shall release funds from the Capital Replacement Reserve for the actual
cost of
such approved capital improvements upon Borrowers' providing Administrative
Agent with paid receipts, lien waivers and other documentation deemed reasonably
necessary by Administrative Agent with minimum draws of $25,000.00 which
shall
occur no more frequently than once per month. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrowers' obligation to make deposits shall be suspended so long as no
Event of
Default has occurred and is then continuing and Borrowers provide Administrative
Agent with
Β
Β
satisfactory
evidence, on an annual basis beginning JanuaryΒ 1,Β 2007, that Borrowers
have expended during the preceding calendar year for approved capital
improvements at each Licensed Location an amount equal or greater than
$300 per
residential unit at each Project; provided
that if
Borrowers do not satisfy said $300 per residential unit at each Project
requirement, then, no later than JanuaryΒ 31 of the applicable year,
Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount
by
which $300 per residential unit at each Project exceeds the amount actually
spent during such year at such Project which amount shall be held by
Administrative Agent in the Capital Replacement Reserve.
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β All
payments to be made by each Borrower under any Financing Document, including
payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other
Financing Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements,
shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money
of
the United States and in immediately available funds. If any payment hereunder
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments
of
principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during
such extension (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes
of
calculating financial covenants and computations contained herein and
determining compliance therewith, if payment is made, in full, on any such
extended due date, such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on the
original due date without giving effect to any extension thereto). Any
payments
received in the Payment Account before noon (Chicago time)Β on any date
shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent on such date, and any
payments
received in the Payment Account after noon (Chicago time)Β on any date shall
be deemed received by Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business
Day.
Any optional or mandatory prepayment of a Term Loan shall be accompanied
by
timely delivery to Administrative Agent of an appropriately completed Payment
Notification, as provided in Section
2.1.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Administrative
Agent shall maintain a loan account (the "Loan
Account")Β on
its books to record Loans and other extensions of credit made by the Lenders
hereunder or under any other Financing Document, and all payments thereon
made
by each Borrower. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance
with Administrative Agent's customary accounting practices as in effect
from
time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded in Administrative
Agent's books and records at any time shall be conclusive and binding evidence
of the amounts due and owing to Administrative Agent by each Borrower absent
clear and convincing evidence to the contrary; provided,
however,
that any
failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise
affect any Borrower's duty to pay all amounts owing hereunder or under
any other
Financing Document. Administrative Agent shall endeavor to provide Borrowers
with a monthly statement regarding the Loan Account (but neither Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability if Administrative Agent shall
fail
to provide any such statement). Unless any Borrower notifies Administrative
Agent of any objection to any such statement (specifically describing the
basis
for such objection)Β within thirty (30)Β days after the date
of
Β
Β
receipt
thereof, it shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers
in all
respects as to all matters reflected therein.
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β In
no
event shall the interest charged with respect to the Notes (if any)Β or any
other obligations of any Borrower under any Financing Document exceed the
maximum amount permitted under the laws of the State of Illinois or of
any other
applicable jurisdiction.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of
interest payable hereunder or under any Note or other Financing Document
(the
"Stated
Rate")Β would
exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable law
to be
charged (the "Maximum
Lawful Rate"),
then
for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of
interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided,
however,
that if
at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful
Rate,
each Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to pay interest
at
the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received
is equal
to the total interest which would have been received had the Stated Rate
been
(but for the operation of this provision)Β the interest rate payable.
Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and
until
the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event
this
provision shall again apply.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β In
no
event shall the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount
which it
could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full
term
hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence,
any
Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful
Rate,
such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance
of
the Loans or to other amounts (other than interest)Β payable hereunder, and
if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess
or part
thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrowers.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β In
computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable
to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal
to the
Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which
such
calculation is made.
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β All
payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
present
or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, payroll, employment, property
or
franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings
or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including interest and penalties
thereon)Β imposed by any taxing authority, excluding taxes imposed
on or measured by Administrative Agent's or any Lender's net income by
the
jurisdiction under which Administrative Agent or such Lender is organized
or
conducts business (other than solely as the result of entering into any
of
the
Β
Β
Financing
Documents or taking any action thereunder)Β (all non-excluded items being
called "Taxes").
If
any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by any Borrower
hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable
Law,
then
Borrowers will: (i)Β pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount
required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii)Β promptly forward to
Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory
to
Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and
(iii)Β pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Administrative Agent
and Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure
that the
net amount actually received by Administrative Agent and each Lender will
equal
the full amount Administrative Agent and such Lender would have received
had no
such withholding or deduction been required. If any Taxes are directly
asserted
against Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment
received
by Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, Administrative Agent
or such
Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrowers will promptly pay such additional
amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense)Β as is necessary in
order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of
such
Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount)Β shall equal the
amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted
so long
as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy
(270)Β days prior to the date on which Administrative Agent or such Lender
first made written demand therefor.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β If
any
Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority
or
fails to remit to Administrative Agent, for the account of Administrative
Agent
and the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, Borrowers shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders for
any
incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by
Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Each
Lender that (i)Β is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than
the United States, and (ii)(A) is a party hereto on the Closing Date or
(B)Β purports to become an assignee of an interest as a Lender under this
Agreement after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender
hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) (each such Lender a
"Foreign
Lender")
shall
execute and deliver to each of Borrowers and Administrative Agent one or
more
(as Borrowers or Administrative Agent may reasonably request) United States
Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (as applicable) and
other
applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the United States
Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by Administrative Agent
certifying as to such Lender's entitlement to a complete exemption from
withholding or deduction of Taxes. Borrowers shall not be required to pay
additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.8 with respect
to United States withholding and income Taxes to the extent that the obligation
to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure
of such
Lender to comply with this paragraph other than as a result of a change
in law.
Β
Β
If
any
Lender shall reasonably determine that the adoption or taking effect of,
or any
change in, any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, in each instance,
after the
Β
Β
Closing
Date, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation, administration
or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation, administration or application thereof,
or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with
any
request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or
not
having the force of law)Β of any such Governmental Authority, central bank
or comparable agency adopted or otherwise taking effect after the Closing
Date,
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's
or
such controlling Person's capital as a consequence of such Lender's obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person
could have achieved but for such adoption, taking effect, change,
interpretation, administration, application or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's or such controlling Person's policies with
respect
to capital adequacy)Β then from time to time, upon written demand by such
Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth
the basis
for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail,
a
copy of which shall be furnished to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall
promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such
Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction, so long as such amounts
have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270)Β days
prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor.Β
Β
Β
If
any
Lender requires compensation under SectionΒ 2.9,
or
requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
2.8,
then,
upon the written request of Borrower Representative,
such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office
for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder (subject to the terms of this Agreement)Β to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (a)Β would eliminate or materially reduce amounts
payable pursuant to any such Section, as the case may be, in the future,
and
(b)Β would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (as determined in
its sole
discretion). Without limitation of the provisions of Section
12.1,
Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Β
Β
Each
Borrower hereby designates Borrower Representative as its representative
and
agent on its behalf for the purposes of giving instructions with respect
to the
disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, giving and receiving all other
notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents
and
taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with
covenants)Β on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Financing
Documents. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no
Borrower other than Borrower Representative shall be entitled to take any
of the
foregoing
Β
Β
actions.
The proceeds of each Loan made hereunder shall be advanced to or at the
direction of Borrower Representative and if not used by Borrower Representative
for the purposes provided in this Agreement shall be deemed to be immediately
advanced by Borrower Representative to the appropriate other Borrower hereunder
as an intercompany loan (collectively, "Intercompany
Loans").
Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other
communication pursuant to any Financing Document from Borrower Representative
as
a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or
communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or all
Borrowers
hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or all
Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation
and
warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower
Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such
Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower
to the
same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

the
event any Borrower fails to provide Administrative Agent with evidence
of the
insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent may
purchase
insurance at Borrowers' expense to protect Administrative Agent's interests
in
the Collateral. This insurance may, but need not, protect any Borrower's
interests. The coverage purchased by Administrative Agent may not pay any
claim
made by any Borrower or any claim that is made against any Borrower in
connection with the Collateral. The applicable Borrower may later cancel
any
insurance purchased by Administrative Agent, but only after providing
Administrative Agent with evidence that such Borrower has obtained insurance
as
required by this Agreement. If Administrative Agent purchases insurance
for the
Collateral, to the fullest extent provided by law Borrowers will be responsible
for the costs of that insurance, including interest and other charges imposed
by
Administrative Agent in connection with the placement of the insurance,
until
the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance.

of the insurance may be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance
may
be more than the cost of insurance each Borrower is able to obtain on its
own.

either (i)Β a material portion of the assets of any such Person in favor of
any Governmental Authority, or (ii)Β any portion of the

any of
their respective books and records, to conduct a collateral audit and analysis
of their respective operations and the Collateral and to discuss their

give the applicable Borrower commercially reasonable prior notice of such
exercise, and shall not (except for and in addition to the annual inspection

Determinations
of compliance with the covenants in this Section
6.5
(collectively, the "Financial
Covenants")Β shall
be calculated as of the first (1st)
day of
each calendar quarter (commencing with a calculation as of JanuaryΒ 1,
2007).
Β
Β
Borrowers
shall furnish to Lender, concurrently with the financial reports and
documentation required by Section
4.1(b)(v),
evidence (in form and content satisfactory to Lender)Β of Borrowers'
compliance with the covenants in this Article and evidence that no Event
of
Default specified in this Article has occurred. Such evidence shall include,
without limitation, (a)Β a statement and report, on a form approved by
Administrative Agent, detailing Borrowers' calculations, and (b)Β if
requested by Administrative Agent, back-up documentation (including, without
limitation, invoices, receipts and other evidence of costs incurred during
such
quarter as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require)Β evidencing the
propriety of the calculations.
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β In
the
event that Borrowers fail to satisfy either of the Financial Covenants
as of any
calculation date (i.e., the date as of which covenant compliance is
Β
Β
calculated;
not the date on which the determination of compliance or non-compliance
is
made), Borrowers shall, within ten (10)Β calendar days after the date the
financial reports and compliance certificates required by Sections
4.1(b)(v)Β and
6.6
are due,
pay to Administrative Agent, as a mandatory prepayment, an amount (a
"Covenant
Prepayment")Β which,
if such amount were applied against the outstanding principal balance of
the
Loans, would be sufficient to satisfy each of the Financial Covenants as
of such
calculation date, calculating the outstanding principal balance of the
Loans
after giving proforma effect to such Covenant Prepayment. Failure to satisfy
one
or both of the Financial Covenants shall be deemed an Event of Default
under
Section
11.1
only if
Borrowers fail to make the Covenant Prepayment, together with the proportionate
amount of the Exit Fee owing with respect thereto, within said ten (10)Β day
period.
Β
(b)Β Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 6.7(a), if Borrowers fail to satisfy one or both
of
the Financial Covenants for the first or second time during the term of
the
Loans and no monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, then, instead of applying the required Covenant Prepayment
to the
Loans, Administrative Agent shall hold such Covenant Prepayment as a cash
collateral deposit ("Covenant Deposit")Β without interest, and the
proportionate amount of the Exit Fee otherwise payable with respect thereto
will
not be payable except as and until provided below. If at any time after
Administrative Agent receives a Covenant Deposit, Borrowers satisfy the
Financial Covenants (without having to make a Covenant Prepayment and without
taking into account the Covenant Deposit)Β for two (2)Β consecutive
calendar quarters and provided that the Covenant Deposit has not theretofore
been applied to the Indebtedness as a result of the occurrence of an Event
of
Default or the occurrence of a third failure to satisfy either or both
of the
Financial Covenants, the Covenant Deposit shall be returned to Borrowers.
The
Covenant Deposit, if any, shall be given proforma application to principal
balance of the Loans solely for purposes of determining whether an additional
amount should be paid to Administrative Agent and added to the Covenant
Deposit
if the Financial Covenants is not satisfied for a second time. If the Financial
Covenants is not satisfied (whether or not a Covenant Prepayment is
made)Β for a third time, then (i)Β Administrative Agent shall no longer
be required to hold any Covenant Prepayments as a Covenant Deposit and
all
subsequent Covenant Prepayments shall be applied to the principal balance
of the
Loans and (ii)Β the Covenant Deposit, if any, shall be applied to the
principal balance of the Loans and the proportionate amount of the Exit
Fee with
respect thereto shall be due and payable within ten (10)Β calendar days
after the date of determination of non-compliance. The Covenant Deposit
shall be
Collateral. If an Event of Default occurs at any time, the Covenant Deposit
may
be immediately applied to the Indebtedness in such order as Administrative
Agent
determines and the Exit Fee shall be due with respect thereto.
Β

(i)Β with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot and
Borrowers represent and covenant that each Project is are and shall remain
a
separate tax lot, or (ii)Β with any portion of the Projects which may be
deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby

of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be
assessed or levied or charged to the Project as a single lien.
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β Borrowers
shall notify Administrative Agent promptly of the commencement or threat
of any
Taking of the Projects or any portion thereof or of the occurrence of any

Β
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Subject
to the provisions of Section
9.4
below,
Administrative Agent may elect to collect, retain and apply against the
Obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Financing
Documents all proceeds of insurance resulting from any loss at any Project
or of
any Taking of all or any portion of a Project (individually and collectively
referred to as "Casualty
Proceeds")Β after
deduction of all expenses of collection and settlement, including attorneys'
and
adjusters' fees and charges. If any insurance proceeds are paid by check,
draft
or other instrument payable to any Borrower and Administrative Agent jointly,
such Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to endorse such Borrower's
name
thereon and do such other things as Administrative Agent may deem advisable
to
reduce the same to cash. Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered,
and
each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its (or
their)Β attorney-in-fact (such appointment is coupled with an interest), at
Administrative Agent's option, to make or file proofs of loss or damage
and to
settle and adjust any claim under insurance policies which insure against
such
risks, or to direct Borrowers, in writing, to agree with the insurance
carrier(s)Β on the amount to be paid in regard to such loss. Any Casualty
Proceeds remaining after repayment of the Obligations shall be paid by
Administrative Agent to Borrowers.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding
anything in Section
9.3(b)Β to
the
contrary, in the event of any casualty to any Project or any Taking of
part of
any Project, Administrative Agent agrees to make available the Casualty
Proceeds
to restoration of the Project if (i)Β no Event of Default exists,
(ii)Β all Casualty Proceeds are deposited with Administrative Agent,
(iii)Β in Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment, the amount of Casualty
Proceeds, together with additional amounts, if any, deposited by Borrower
with
Administrative Agent, available for restoration of the Project is sufficient
to
pay the full and complete costs of such restoration, (iv)Β the casualty or
Taking will not require residential units at the affected Project comprising
in
the aggregate more than fifteen percent (15%)Β of the occupancy space at the
Project to become vacant during the restoration, (v)Β the income to
Borrowers from such affected Project (excluding the effect of business
interruption or rent loss insurance)Β will not decrease more than fifteen
percent (15%)Β as a result of such casualty or Taking, (vi)Β in
Administrative Agent's sole determination, the Obligations will not exceed
seventy-five percent (75%)Β of the fair market value of the Project (based
upon Administrative Agent's allocation of the Loan to such Project) after
completion of restoration but prior to any re-tenanting, (vii)Β in
Administrative Agent's reasonable determination, the affected Project can
be
restored to an architecturally and economically viable project in compliance
with applicable Laws, and (viii)Β in Administrative Agent's reasonable
determination, such restoration is likely to be completed not later than
six
(6)Β months prior to the Termination Date.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the damage to the Project does not exceed $1,250,000,
and so
long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall be entitled
to receive the Casualty Proceeds attributable thereto, provided, however,
that
Borrowers shall use the Casualty Proceeds to restore or rebuild the Project
in
all material respects to its condition prior to such casualty or
Taking.
Β
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β In
case
Administrative Agent does not elect to apply or does not have the right
to apply
the Casualty Proceeds to the Obligations, as provided in Section
9.3
above,
Borrowers shall:
Β
(i)Β Β Β Β Proceed
with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate governmental
authorities and except as provided in Section
9.3(d)Β above,
cause the Casualty Proceeds to be deposited with Administrative
Agent;
Β
(ii)Β Β Β Β In
the
event of any delay in making settlement with insurers or the appropriate
governmental authorities or effecting collection of the Casualty Proceeds,
deposit with Administrative Agent the full amount required to complete
construction as aforesaid;
Β
(iii)Β Β Β Β If
the
damage exceeds $1,250,000, in the event the Casualty Proceeds are insufficient
to assure Administrative Agent that the all contemplated repairs or construction
will be completed, promptly deposit with Administrative Agent any amount
necessary to assure that such contemplated repairs or construction will
be
completed; and
Β
(iv)Β Β Β Β Promptly
proceed with the assumption of construction of the applicable Project,
including
the repair of all damage resulting from such fire, Taking or other cause
and
restoration to its former or reasonably equivalent condition in all material
respects.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Any
request by Borrowers for a disbursement by Administrative Agent of Casualty
Proceeds and funds deposited by Borrowers shall be subject to reasonable
construction loan type draw requirements as determined by Administrative
Agent.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, if the damage to the applicable Project does
not
exceed $1,250,000 and so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrowers may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Administrative
Agent and agree with the insurance company or companies (or Governmental
Authority, in the case of a Taking)Β on the amount to be paid upon the loss,
provided, however, that such adjustment is carried out in a competent and
timely
manner. Any monies collected under this subsection (c)Β shall be applied in
accordance with Section
9.3(d)Β below.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β If
the
damage to the applicable Project exceeds $1,250,000, then Administrative
Agent
may elect to file the respective proof of loss, settle and adjust any claim
without the consent of Borrowers and agree with the insurance company on
the
amount of the Casualty Proceeds in the place and stead of Borrowers and
without
the consent of Borrowers; provided, however,
that so long as no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent agrees
to work
with Borrowers and to keep Borrowers fully apprised of any and all action
Administrative Agent takes to settle or adjust any claim. Borrowers
hereby release
Β
Β
Administrative
Agent from any and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment
by Administrative Agent of any claims in respect of any casualty.Β
Β
Β
After
and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall be deemed
to have
appointed Administrative Agent as their attorney-in-fact to seek a reduction
or
reductions in the assessed valuation of the Projects for real property
tax
purposes or for any other purpose and to prosecute any action or proceeding
in
connection therewith. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall
be
irrevocable for so long as any part of the Obligations remains unpaid and
any
Event of Default shall be continuing.Β
Β
Β
No
Borrower has commingled the funds related to the Projects with funds from
any
other property. Neither Borrowers nor any partner, stockholder, member
or other
principal in Borrowers is or will be, and no legal or beneficial interest
of a
partner, stockholder, member or other principal in Borrowers is or will
be held,
directly or indirectly, by a "foreign corporation", "foreign partnership",
"foreign trust", "foreign estate", "foreign person", "affiliate" of a "foreign
person" or a "United States intermediary" of a "foreign person" within
the
meaning of the Internal Revenue Code SectionsΒ 897, 1445 or 7701, the
Foreign Investments in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, the International
Foreign
Investment Survey Act of 1976, the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure

Β
Β
To
induce
Administrative Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make
the
Loans and other credit accommodations contemplated hereby, each Borrower
hereby
represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and each Lender the following
with respect to each individual Project, standing alone and without reliance
upon any other Project:
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β Except
as
disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing, (i)Β no condemnation of any
portion of any Project, has commenced or, to any Borrower's knowledge,
is
contemplated by any Governmental Authority, (ii)Β except as disclosed to
Administrative Agent in writing, no condemnation or relocation of any roadways
abutting any Project has commenced or, to any Borrower's knowledge, is
contemplated by any Governmental Authority, and (iii)Β no proceeding to deny
access to any Project from any point or planned point of access to any
Project,
has commenced or, to any Borrower's knowledge, is contemplated by any
Governmental Authority.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Except
as
disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing the contemplated use of any
Project
as an independent living facility and the contemplated accessory uses do
not
violate, in any material respects, (i)Β any Laws (including subdivision,
zoning and building Laws and Environmental Laws), or (ii)Β any building
permits, covenants,
Β
Β
conditions
and restrictions of record, or agreements affecting any Project or any part
thereof. Neither the zoning authorizations, subdivision approvals or variances
nor any other right to construct or to use any Project is to any extent
dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the real property
constituting the Collateral. Except as disclosed to Administrative Agent
on the
land title surveys delivered to Administrative Agent prior to the Closing
Date,
no building or other improvement encroaches upon any property line, building
line, set back line, side yard line or any recorded or visible easement
(or
other easement of which Borrowers are aware or has reason to believe may
exist)Β with respect to any Project. Except as disclosed on such surveys, no
Project is situated in an area designated as having special flood hazards
as
defined by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, or designated
as a wetland by any governmental entity having jurisdiction over the Project.
All Permits required for the use and occupancy of the Project have been
obtained. All Laws relating to the construction of and operation of the
Improvements have been complied with in all material respects and all permits
and licenses required for the construction of and operation of the Project
have
been obtained. The Project is accessible through fully improved and dedicated
roads, accepted for maintenance and public use by public authority having
jurisdiction. The Project has adequate water, gas and electrical supply,
storm
and sanitary sewerage facilities, telephone facilities, other required
public
utilities, fire and police protection, and means of access between the
Project
and public highways; none of the foregoing will be foreseeably delayed
or
impeded by virtue of any requirements under any applicable Laws. The Project
includes all property and rights that may be reasonably necessary or desirable
to promote the present uses and enjoyment thereof. To the best of each
Borrower's knowledge, there are no, nor are there any alleged or asserted,
violations of law, regulations, ordinances, codes, permits, licenses,
declarations, covenants, conditions or restrictions of record, or other
agreements relating to any Project, or the improvements thereto, or any
part
thereof. Final certificates of occupancy or non-residential use permits
have
been obtained for all improvements on the Project. The parcels of land
comprising the Project are contiguous, subdivided parcels and are in full
compliance with applicable subdivision ordinances. No subdivision or
resubdivision of such parcels is required to: (y)Β convey, transfer, assign
or lease such parcels, either individually or as a whole; or (z)Β rebuild
after a casualty all or any portion of the improvements on the Project
to
current size and configuration.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β The
Project is taxed separately without regard to any other property and for
all
purposes the Project may be mortgaged, conveyed and otherwise dealt with
as an
independent parcel. There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other
taxes or assessments on or against any Project or any part thereof, except
general real estate taxes for fiscal year 2006 not yet due or payable.
To each
Credit Party's knowledge, there is no pending or contemplated action pursuant
to
which any special assessment may be levied against any portion of any
Project.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β There
has
been no damage or destruction of any part of any Project by fire or other
casualty that has not been repaired. Except for the deferred maintenance
items,
if any, reflected on Schedule
4.14
or as
part of routine maintenance or capital improvements required to be made
by
Borrowers under this Agreement, there are presently no material
Β
Β
existing
defects in any Project and no material repairs or alterations thereof are
reasonably necessary or appropriate.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β No
Borrower has entered into any Material Leases that are currently in effect
other
than as set forth on the rent roll delivered by Borrower to Administrative
Agent
prior to the closing of the Loans, which Borrower certifies is true and
correct
in all material respects. True, correct and complete copies of the form
of
Lease, Resident Agreement and other lease or care documents and all
non-residential Leases, as amended, as in effect with respect to Borrower's
or
Operator's operation of the Project, have been delivered to Administrative
Agent. All Material Leases are in full force and effect. Neither Borrower
nor
any tenant is in material default under any Material Lease. Borrower has
disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing any material default by any
tenant
under any Material Lease and no notice of termination has been issued under
any
Lease. All rents or other payments required of the tenant under the Material
Lease due to date have been collected and have been collected no more than
one
(1)Β month in advance, and no tenant has been granted any rent concession or
inducement whatsoever except as reflected on the rent roll previously delivered
to Administrative Agent.

(f)Β Β Β Β The
Resident Agreements comply with all applicable Laws in all material respects,
including Healthcare Laws.

Upon
the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative
Agent may, and shall if requested by Required Lenders, by notice to Borrower
Representative declare the Obligations to be, and the Obligations shall
thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by
each
Borrower and Borrowers will pay the same; provided, however, that in the
case of
any of the Events of Default specified in Section
11.1(f)Β or
11.1(g)Β above,
without any notice to any Borrower or any other act by Administrative Agent
or
the Lenders, all of the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which
are hereby waived by each Borrower and Borrowers will pay the same.
Β
Β
Β
Β
At
the
election of Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, after the occurrence
of an
Event of Default and for so long as it continues, the Loans and other
Obligations shall bear interest at rates that are five percent (5.0%)Β per
annum in excess of the rates otherwise payable under this Agreement (each,
the
"Default
Rate").
Β
Β
During
the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized
by
each Borrower at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt
subsequent notice to such Borrower (any prior or contemporaneous notice
being
hereby expressly waived)Β to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and
all (a)Β balances held by such Lender or any of such Lender's Affiliates at
any of its offices for the account of such Borrower (regardless of whether
such
balances are then due to such Borrower), and (b)Β other property at any time
held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of
such
Borrower, against and on account of any of the Obligations; except that
no
Lender shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent
of
Administrative Agent. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall purchase
for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell)Β interests in each of such other
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause
all
Lenders to share the amount so set off with each other Lender in accordance
with
their respective Pro Rata Share of the Obligations. Each Borrower agrees,
to the
fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender and any of such Lender's
Affiliates may exercise its right to set off with respect to the Obligations
as
provided in this Section
11.5.
Β
Β
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence
and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a)Β each Borrower
irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments
at any time or times thereafter received by Administrative Agent from or
on
behalf of such Borrower or any Guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations,
and, as between Borrowers on the one hand and Administrative Agent and
Lenders
on the other, Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive
right
to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations
in
such manner as Administrative Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding
any
previous application by Administrative Agent and (b)Β the proceeds of any
sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall
be
applied: first,
to all
reasonable fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses
incurred by or owing to Administrative Agent with respect to this Agreement,
the
other Financing Documents or the Collateral; second,
to all
reasonable fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses
incurred by or owing to any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the
other
Financing Documents or the Collateral; third,
to
accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest
which,
but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,
Β
Β
would
have accrued on such amounts); fourth,
to the
principal amount of the Obligations outstanding (excluding any Obligations
in
respect of any Swap Contract); fifth,
to the
Obligations owing to any Eligible Swap Counterparty in respect of any Swap
Contracts permitted by the terms of this Agreement; and fifth,
to any
other indebtedness or obligations of Borrowers owing to Administrative
Agent or
any Lender under the Financing Documents. Any balance remaining shall be
delivered to Borrowers or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive
such
balance (including any holder of the indebtedness evidenced by the Affiliated
Financing Documents)Β or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In
carrying out the foregoing, (y)Β amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the
next
succeeding category, and (z)Β each of the Persons entitled to receive a
payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its
pro rata
share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β Except
as
otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted
by
applicable law, each Borrower waives: (i)Β presentment, demand and protest,
and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration,
protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension or renewal of any or all Financing Documents, the Notes or any
other
notes, commercial paper, accounts, contracts, documents, instruments, chattel
paper and Guarantees at any time held by Lenders on which any Borrower
may in
any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lenders may
do in
this regard; (ii)Β all rights to notice and a hearing prior to
Administrative Agent's or any Lender's taking possession or control of,
or to
Administrative Agent's or any Lender's replevy, attachment or levy upon,
any
Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court
prior to
allowing Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any of its remedies;
and
(iii)Β the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption Laws. Each
Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices
and
decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents
and the
transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Each
Borrower for itself and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties and their
heirs,
legal representatives, successors and assigns, (i)Β agrees that its
liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension
of
time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by Lender;
(ii)Β consents to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals,
waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Administrative Agent or
any
Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of the Financing
Documents, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the Collateral,
or
any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition
or
release of any Borrower, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, or whether
primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to any other Borrower and
without affecting its liability hereunder; (iii)Β agrees that its liability
shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other
Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender for any tax on the indebtedness;
and (iv)Β to
the
fullest extent permitted by law,
expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law
Β
Β
or
equity
now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a
result
contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β To
the
extent that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have acquiesced in any
noncompliance with any requirements or conditions precedent to the closing
of
the Loans or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence
shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Administrative Agent or any
Lender
of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds
and Administrative Agent may at any time after such acquiescence require
Borrowers to comply with all such requirements. Any forbearance by
Administrative Agent or Lender in exercising any right or remedy under
any of
the Financing Documents, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, including
any
failure to accelerate the maturity date of the Loans, shall not be a waiver
of
or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy nor shall it serve as a
novation
of the Notes or as a reinstatement of the Loans or a waiver of such right
of
acceleration or the right to insist upon strict compliance of the terms
of the
Financing Documents. Administrative Agent's or any Lender's acceptance
of
payment of any sum secured by any of the Financing Documents after the
due date
of such payment shall not be a waiver of Administrative Agent's and such
Lender's right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums
so
secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The
procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges
by
Administrative Agent as the result of an Event of Default shall not be
a waiver
of Administrative Agent's right to accelerate the maturity of the Loans,
nor
shall Administrative Agent's receipt of any condemnation awards, insurance
proceeds, or damages under this Agreement operate to cure or waive any
Credit
Party's default in payment of sums secured by any of the Financing
Documents.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Without
limiting the generality of anything contained in this Agreement or the
other
Financing Documents, each Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is
continuing (i)Β Administrative Agent and Lenders are not subject to any "one
action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii)Β all Liens and other
rights, remedies or privileges provided to Administrative Agent or Lenders
shall
remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent or Lenders have
exhausted all remedies against the Collateral and any other properties
owned by
Borrowers and the Financing Documents and other security instruments or
agreements securing the Loans have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise
realized upon in satisfaction of Borrowers' obligations under the Financing
Documents.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β Nothing
contained herein or in any other Financing Document shall be construed
as
requiring Administrative Agent or any Lender to resort to any part of the
Collateral for the satisfaction of any of Borrowers' obligations under
the
Financing Documents in preference or priority to any other Collateral,
and
Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral
or any
part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of Borrowers' obligations
under the Financing Documents. In addition, Administrative Agent shall
have the
right from time to time to partially foreclose upon any Collateral in any
manner
and for any amounts secured by the Financing Documents then due and payable
as
determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, including, without
limitation, the following circumstances: (i)Β in the event any Borrower
defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more
scheduled payments of principal
Β
Β
and/or
interest, Administrative Agent may foreclose upon all or any part of the
Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii)Β in the event
Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding
principal balance of the Loans, Administrative Agent may foreclose all
or any
part of the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the
Loans
as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of
the
Financing Documents as Administrative Agent may elect. Notwithstanding
one or
more partial foreclosures, any unforeclosed Collateral shall remain subject
to
the Financing Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Financing
Documents and not previously recovered.
Β
(f)Β Β Β Β To
the
fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors
and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral
any equitable right otherwise available to any Credit Party which would
require
the separate sale of the any of the Collateral or require Administrative
Agent
or Lenders to exhaust their remedies against any part of the Collateral
before
proceeding against any other part of the Collateral; and further in the
event of
such foreclosure each Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize,
at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or
together
of each part of the Collateral.
Β
Β
The
parties acknowledge and agree that, for certain Events of Default,
Administrative Agent and Lenders may have no adequate remedy in money damages
and, accordingly, shall be entitled to an injunction (including without
limitation, a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, writ
of
attachment, or order compelling an audit)Β against such Events of Default.
However, no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable
remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition against any other
legal or
equitable remedies in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any
provision of this Agreement.
Each
Credit Party waives, to
the
fullest extent permitted by law,
the
requirement of the posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive
relief. By joining in the Financing Documents as a Credit Party, each Credit
Party specifically joins in this Section as if this Section were a part
of each
Financing Documents executed by the Credit Party.
Β
Β
Administrative
Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor
of any
Credit Party, or against or in payment of any of the other Obligations
or any
other obligation owed to Administrative Agent or Lenders by any Credit
Party.
Β
Β
EXPENSES
AND INDEMNITY
Β
Β
Each
Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay (a)Β all reasonable costs and
expenses of Administrative Agent (including without limitation the reasonable
fees, costs and expenses of counsel to, and independent appraisers and
consultants retained by Administrative Agent)Β in connection with the
examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation, negotiation
and
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents, in
connection with the performance by Administrative Agent of its rights and
remedies under the Financing Documents and in connection with the continued
administration of the Financing Documents, including (i)Β any amendments,
modifications, consents and waivers to and/or under any and all Financing
Documents and (ii)Β any periodic public record searches conducted by or at
the request of Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, title
investigations, UCC searches, fixture filing searches, judgment, pending
litigation and tax lien searches and searches of applicable corporate,
limited
liability, partnership and related records concerning the continued existence,
organization and good standing of certain Persons), (b)Β without limitation
of the preceding clause (a), all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent
(including recordation and transfer taxes)Β in connection with the creation,
perfection and maintenance of Liens pursuant to the Financing Documents,
(c)Β without limitation of the preceding clause (a), all costs and expenses
of Administrative Agent in connection with (i)Β protecting, storing,
insuring, handling, maintaining or selling any Collateral; (ii)Β any
litigation, dispute, suit or proceeding relating to any Financing Document;
and
(iii)Β any workout, collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement
proceedings under any and all of the Financing Documents, and (d)Β all costs
and expenses incurred by Lenders in connection with any litigation, dispute,
suit or proceeding relating to any Financing Document and in connection
with any
workout, collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings
under any and all Financing Documents, provided, however, that to the extent
that the costs and expenses referred to in this clause (d)Β consist of fees,
costs and expenses of counsel, Borrowers shall be obligated to pay such
fees,
costs and expenses for counsel to Administrative Agent and for only one
counsel
acting for all Lenders (other than Administrative Agent).
Β
Β
Each
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, pay and hold harmless Administrative
Agent
and Lenders and the officers, directors, employees, trustees, agents, investment
advisors, collateral managers, servicers, and counsel of Administrative
Agent
and Lenders (collectively called the "Indemnitees")Β from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of
any kind
or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for
such
Indemnitee)Β in connection with any investigative, response, remedial,
administrative or judicial matter or proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitee
shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated
by or on behalf of a Credit Party, and the reasonable expenses of investigation
by engineers, environmental
Β
Β
consultants
and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation
claimed
by any broker (other than any broker retained by Administrative Agent or
Lenders)Β asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated
hereby, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee
as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
or by
the other Financing Documents (including (a)(i)Β as a direct or indirect
result of the presence on or under, or escape, seepage, leakage, spillage,
discharge, emission or release from, any property now or previously owned,
leased or operated by any Borrower, or any other Person of any Hazardous
Materials or any Hazardous Materials Contamination, (ii)Β arising out of or
relating to the offsite disposal of any materials generated or present
on any
such property or (iii)Β arising out of or resulting from the environmental
condition of any such property or the applicability of any governmental
requirements relating to Hazardous Materials, whether or not occasioned
wholly
or in part by any condition, accident or event caused by any act or omission
of
any Borrower, (b)Β proposed and actual extensions of credit under this
Agreement)Β and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans and
(c)Β any brokerage claims in connection with the sale or any leasing of any
Project, except that no Borrower shall have any obligation hereunder to
an
Indemnitee with respect to any liability resulting from the gross negligence
or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or for any liability with
respect
to clauses (a)Β or (c)Β first occurring after transfer of title of a
Project following a foreclosure or pursuant to a conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure provided that the applicable Borrower is no longer in possession
of
the applicable Project. To the extent that the undertaking set forth in
the
immediately preceding sentence may be unenforceable, each Borrower shall
contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy
under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all such indemnified
liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.
Β
ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT
Β
Β
Each
Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent
to enter
into each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party (other than
this
Agreement)Β on its behalf and to take such actions as Administrative Agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Financing Documents
as are
delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with all
such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of
Section
13.16
and to
the terms of the other Financing Documents, Administrative Agent is authorized
and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement
or the
other Financing Documents on behalf of Lenders. The provisions of this
Article
13 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and neither
any Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third
party
beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions
and
duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent
of
Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any
obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower
or
any other Credit Party. Administrative Agent
Β
Β
may
perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Financing Documents,
by or
through its agents or employees.
Β
Β
Administrative
Agent
shall
have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents as any other
Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it
were
not Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may
lend
money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each
Credit Party or Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not Administrative
Agent hereunder.
Β
Β
The
duties of Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in
nature.
Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any
of the
Financing Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon
Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any
of the
Financing Documents except as expressly set forth herein or
therein.
Β
Β
Administrative
Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and
other
experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts.
Β
Β
Neither
Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in
connection with the Financing Documents, except that Administrative Agent
shall
be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder but only
to
the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge
thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent
jurisdiction. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain,
inquire into or verify (a)Β any statement, warranty or representation made
in connection with any Financing Document or any borrowing hereunder;
(b)Β the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements
specified in any Financing Document; (c)Β the satisfaction of any condition
specified in any Financing Document; (d)Β the validity, effectiveness,
sufficiency or genuineness of any Financing Document, any Lien purported
to be
created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished
in
connection therewith; (e)Β the existence or non-existence of any Default or
Event of Default; or (f)Β the financial condition of any Credit Party.
Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance
upon
any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may
be a
bank wire, telex, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar
writing)Β believed by it to be
Β
Β
genuine
or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Administrative Agent shall
not
be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it
in good
faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined
to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment
was
due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in
excess
of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other
Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments
received by them).
Β
Β
Each
Lender shall, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify Administrative
Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers)Β upon demand against any
cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand,
action,
loss or liability (except such as result from Administrative Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)Β that Administrative Agent
may suffer or incur in connection with the Financing Documents or any action
taken or omitted by Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. If any
indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the
opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired,
Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not
commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Required
Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished.
Β
Β
Administrative
Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to
any
actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of
the
Financing Documents Administrative Agent is permitted or desires to take
or to
grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Administrative
Agent
shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold
any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person
for
refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the
Financing Documents until it shall have received such instructions from
Required
Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed
by
this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any
right
of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative
Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the
other
Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders
(or
all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this
Agreement)Β and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders (or
such other applicable portion of the Lenders), Administrative Agent shall
have
no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such
action
would violate applicable Law or exposes Administrative Agent to any liability
for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance
with
the provisions of Section
13.6.
Β
Β
Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and
Β
Β
information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter
into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and
based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action
under the Financing Documents.
Β
Β
Lenders
irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
to (a)Β release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent under
any Security Document (i)Β upon payment
in full of all Obligations or (ii)Β constituting property sold or disposed
of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under any
Financing Document (it being understood and agreed that Administrative
Agent may
conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible
Officer as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in full
compliance with the provisions of the Financing Documents); and (b)Β release
or subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent under
any
Security Document constituting property described in Section
5.7(b)Β (it
being
understood and agreed that Administrative Agent may conclusively rely without
further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the
identification of any property described in SectionΒ 5.7(b)).
Upon
request by Administrative Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm Administrative
Agent's authority
to release and/or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant
to this Section
13.9.
Β
Β
Administrative
Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the
purpose
of perfecting Administrative Agent's security interest in assets which,
in
accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction,
can
be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than
Administrative Agent)Β obtain possession or control of any such assets, such
Lender shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon
Administrative Agent's request therefor, shall deliver such assets to
Administrative Agent or in accordance with Administrative Agent's instructions
or transfer control to Administrative Agent in accordance with Administrative
Agent's instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right
individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to
realize
upon any Collateral for the Loans unless instructed to do so by Administrative
Agent (or consented to by Administrative Agent, as provided in Section
11.5),
it
being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised
only
by Administrative Agent.
Β
Β
Administrative
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of any
Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment
of
principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent
for the
account of Lenders, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written
notice from a Lender or a
Β
Β
Borrower
referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default
and
stating that such notice is a "notice of default". Administrative Agent
will
notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent
shall
take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may
be
requested by Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders
as
shall be prescribed by this Agreement)Β in accordance with the terms hereof.
Unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request,
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)Β take such action,
or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event
of
Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of
Lenders.
Β
Β
Administrative
Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and
Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with Borrowers, to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, and provided that, if no Default or Event of Default
has
occurred and is outstanding, Borrowers shall have the right to consent
to any
such successor Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon the acceptance of a successor's
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and notice of such acceptance
to
the retiring Administrative Agent, such successor shall succeed to and
become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
(or
retired)Β Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent's
resignation shall become immediately effective and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder
and
under the other Financing Documents (if such resignation was not already
effective and such duties and obligations not already discharged, as provided
below in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor
Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be the same as those payable
to
its predecessor unless otherwise agreed among Borrowers and such successor.
If
no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and
shall
have accepted such appointment within thirty (30)Β days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders (but without any
obligation)Β appoint a successor Administrative Agent, and provided that, if
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is outstanding, Borrowers
shall
have the right to consent to any such successor Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably, withheld, conditioned or delayed. From
and
following the expiration of such thirty (30)Β day period, Administrative
Agent shall have the exclusive right, upon one (1)Β Business Days' notice to
Borrower Representative and the Lenders, to make its resignation effective
immediately. From and following the effectiveness of such notice, (a)Β the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, and (b)Β all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to
or
through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender
directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative
Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. The provisions of this Agreement
shall continue in effect for the benefit of any retiring Administrative
Agent
and its sub-agents after the effectiveness of its resignation hereunder
and
under the other
Β
Β
Financing
Documents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any
of them
while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting or was continuing to
act as
Administrative Agent.
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β Term
Loan Payments.
Payments of principal, interest and fees in respect of the Term Loans will
be
settled on the date of receipt if received by Administrative Agent on the
last
Business Day of a month or on the Business Day immediately following the
date of
receipt if received on any day other than the last Business Day of a
month.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Return
of Payments.
Β
(i)Β Β Β Β If
Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in
the
belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received
by
Administrative Agent from a Borrower and such related payment is not received
by
Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover
such
amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction
of
any kind, together with interest accruing on a daily basis at the Federal
Funds
Rate.
Β
(ii)Β Β Β Β If
Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by
Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower
or
paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then,
notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other
Financing Document, Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute
any
portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to
Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Administrative
Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate,
if
any, as Administrative Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such
other
Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Defaulted
Lenders.
The
failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required by it hereunder
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make payment,
but
neither any other Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible
for the
failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulted
Lender
shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any
Financing Document or constitute a "Lender" (or be included in the calculation
of "Required Lenders" hereunder)Β for any voting or consent rights under or
with respect to any Financing Document.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Sharing
of Payments.
If any
Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary,
involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise)Β on account of any Loan
(other than pursuant to the terms of Section
2.9)Β in
excess of its pro rata share of payments entitled pursuant to the other
provisions of this Section
13.13,
such
Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in extensions
of credit made by such other Lenders (without recourse, representation
or
warranty)Β as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share
the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of
Β
Β
them;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or
other
recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase
shall
be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing
Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable
extent of such recovery, without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any
Lender
so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this clause
(d)Β may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of
payment (including pursuant to Section
11.5)Β with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation. If under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives
a
secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this clause (d)Β applies, such
Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect
of such
secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled
under this clause (d)Β to share in the benefits of any recovery on such
secured claim.
Β
Β
Upon
and
during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, Administrative
Agent
itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause any obligation of any
Credit
Party hereunder or under any other Financing Document to be performed at
Borrowers' expense. Upon and during the continuance of any Default or Event
of
Default, Administrative Agent is further authorized by Borrowers and the
Lenders
to make expenditures from time to time which Administrative Agent, in its
reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (a)Β preserve
or protect the business conducted by Borrowers, the Collateral, or any
portion
thereof, and/or (b)Β enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of,
repayment of the Loans and other Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees
to
reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for any and all costs (which costs
shall be reasonable), liabilities and obligations incurred by Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section
13.14.
Each
Lender hereby agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent upon demand for
any and
all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Administrative Agent
pursuant
to this Section
13.14,
in
accordance with the provisions of Section
13.6.
Β
Β
Except
for rights and powers, if any, expressly reserved under this Agreement
to any
bookrunner, arranger or to any titled agent named on the cover page of
this
Agreement, other than Administrative Agent (collectively, the "Additional
Titled Agents"),
and
except for obligations, liabilities, duties and responsibilities, if any,
expressly assumed under this Agreement by any Additional Titled Agent,
no
Additional Titled Agent, in such capacity, has any rights, powers, liabilities,
duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the other Financing
Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, no Additional Titled Agent shall
have
nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. At any
time that
any Lender serving as an Additional Titled Agent shall have transferred
to any
other Person (other than any Affiliates)Β all of its interests in the Loans,
such Lender shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Additional
Titled Agent.

Β
In
addition to the required signatures under Section
14.5,
no
provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended,
waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification
is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by the following
Persons:
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β if
any
amendment, waiver or other modification would increase a Lender's funding
obligations in respect of any Term Loan, by such Lender; and/or
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β if
the
rights or duties of Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by Administrative
Agent;
Β
Provided
that,
in
each of (a)Β and (b)Β above, no such amendment, waiver or other
modification shall, unless signed by all the Lenders directly affected
thereby,
(i)Β reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or any fees with respect
to any Loan or forgive any principal, interest (other than default
interest)Β or fees (other than late charges)Β with respect to any Loan;
(ii)Β postpone the date fixed for, or waive, any payment (other than a
payment pursuant to SectionΒ 2.1(c)Β or
Section
6.7)Β of
principal of any Loan, or of interest on any Loan (other than default
interest)Β or any fees provided for hereunder (other than late
charges)Β or for any termination of any commitment; (iii)Β change the
definition of the term Required Lenders or the percentage of Lenders which
shall
be required for Lenders to take any action hereunder; (iv)Β release all or
substantially all of the Collateral, authorize any Borrower to sell or
otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any Guarantor
of all or any portion of the Obligations of its Guarantee obligations with
respect thereto, except, in each case with respect to this clauseΒ (iv), as
otherwise may be provided in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents
(including in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder);
(v)Β amend, waive or otherwise modify this Section
13.16
or the

13.16;
or
(vi)Β consent
to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by any Credit Party of
any of
its rights and obligations under any Financing Document or release any
Borrower
of its payment obligations under any Financing Document, except, in each
case
with respect to this clauseΒ (vi), pursuant to a merger or consolidation
permitted pursuant to this Agreement. It is hereby understood and agreed
that
all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or
other
modification of the type described in the preceding clauses (iii), (iv),
(v)Β and (vi)Β of the preceding sentence.
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β Any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or
any
portion of such Lender's Loans together with all related obligations of
such
Lender hereunder. Except as Administrative Agent may otherwise agree, the
amount
of any such assignment (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignment
Agreement or, if a "Trade
Date"
is
specified in such Assignment Agreement, as of such Trade Date)Β shall be in
a minimum
aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the assignor's entire
interests in the outstanding Loans; provided, however, that, in connection
with
simultaneous
Β
Β
assignments
to two or more related Approved Funds, such Approved Funds shall be treated
as
one assignee for purposes of determining compliance with the minimum assignment
size referred to above. Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
the
interests so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until Administrative Agent
shall
have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement
executed,
delivered and fully completed by the applicable
parties thereto
and
a
processing fee of $3,500;
provided,
however,
that
only one processing fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous
assignments to two or more related Approved Funds.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β From
and
after the date on which the conditions described above have been met,
(i)Β such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a
party hereto and, to the extent of the interests assigned to such Eligible
Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii)Β the assigning Lender, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant
to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights and obligations
hereunder (other than those that survive termination pursuant to Section
14.1).
Upon
the request of the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning
Lender)Β pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, each Borrower shall
execute and deliver to Administrative Agent for delivery to the Eligible
Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender)Β Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of the Eligible Assignee's Term Loans (and, as applicable,
Notes in the principal amount of that portion of the principal amount of
the
Term Loans retained by the assigning Lender). Upon receipt by the assigning
Lender of such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower
Representative any prior Note held by it.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section
13.17
or any
other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to
secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such
pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section
13.17
or any
other provision of this Agreement, Administrative Agent has the right,
but not
the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans via an electronic settlement
system acceptable to Administrative Agent as designated in writing from
time to
time to the Lenders by Administrative Agent (the "Settlement
Service").
At
any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion,
to
implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected
by the
assigning Lender and proposed assignee pursuant to the procedures then
in effect
under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be consistent with
the
other provisions of this Section
13.17.
Each
assigning Lender and proposed Eligible Assignee shall comply with the
requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any
assignment of Loans pursuant to the Settlement Service. If so elected by
each of
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, Administrative Agent's and the
Borrowers' approval of such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed to have been
automatically granted with
Β
Β
respect
to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and
assumptions of the Loans shall be effected by the provisions otherwise
set forth
herein until Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service
as
set forth herein.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β Any
Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower
or
Administrative Agent, sell to one or more Persons participating interests
in its
Loans, commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a
"Participant").
In
the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant,
(i)Β such Lender's obligations hereunder
shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii)Β Borrowers and Administrative
Agent shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations hereunder, and (iii)Β all amounts payable by each Borrower shall
be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and
shall
be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or
indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to (x)Β any event
described in Section
13.16
expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable,
all
affected Lenders, and (y)Β the institution or commencement of enforcement
remedies. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding
sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into
with
any Participant. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under
this
Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise),
each
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of
its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same
extent
as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it
as a
Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, that such right of set-off
shall
be subject to the obligation of
each
Participant to share with Lenders, and Lenders agree to share with each
Participant, as provided in Section
11.5.
Β
(f)Β Β Β Β Within
thirty (30)Β days after: (i)Β receipt by Administrative Agent of notice
and demand from any Lender for payment of additional costs as provided
in
Section
2.9,
which
demand shall not have been revoked, (ii)Β any Borrower is required to pay
any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section
2.8,
(iii)Β any Lender is a Defaulted Lender, and the circumstances causing such
status shall not have been cured or waived; or (iv)Β any failure by any
Lender to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any
Financing Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to
such
amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender, or each
Lender
affected thereby, is required with respect thereto, (each relevant Lender
in the
foregoing clausesΒ (i)Β through (iv)Β being an "AffectedΒ Lender")Β each
of Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent may, at its option,
notify
such Affected Lender and, in the case of Borrowers' election, the Administrative
Agent, of such Person's intention to obtain, at Borrowers' expense, a
replacement Lender ("Replacement
Lender")Β for
such Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee and,
in the
event the Replacement Lender is to replace an Affected Lender described
in the
preceding clause (iv), such Replacement Lender consents to the requested
amendment, waiver or modification making the replaced Lender an Affected
Lender.
In the event Borrowers or Administrative Agent, as applicable, obtains
a
Replacement Lender within ninety (90)Β days following notice of its
intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall
Β
Β
sell,
at
par, and assign all of its Loans and funding commitments hereunder to such
Replacement Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
14.6(a);
provided, however, that (i)Β Borrowers shall have reimbursed such Lender for
its increased costs and additional payments for which it is entitled to
reimbursement under Section
2.8
or
Section
2.9,
as
applicable, of this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment
and
(ii)Β Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent the $3,500 processing fee
in respect of such assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does
not
execute an Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section
13.17(a)Β within
five (5)Β Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of
replacement pursuant to this Section
13.17(f)Β and
presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment Agreement evidencing
an
assignment pursuant to this Section
13.17(f),
such
replaced Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such
Assignment Agreement, and any such Assignment Agreement executed by
Administrative Agent, the Replacement Lender and, to the extent required
pursuant to Section
13.17(a),
Borrowers, shall be effective for purposes of this Section
13.17(f)Β and
Section
13.17(a).
Upon
any such assignment and payment, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute
a "Lender" for purposes hereof, other than with respect to such rights
and
obligations that survive termination as set forth in Section
14.1.

JOINT
AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; GUARANTOR PROVISIONS
Β
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β Borrowers
is defined collectively to include all Persons constituting the Borrowers;
provided, however, that any references herein to "any Borrower", "each
Borrower"
or similar references, shall be construed as a reference to each individual
Person comprising the Borrowers. Each Person comprising Borrowers shall
be
jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of Borrowers under
this
Agreement and the Borrowers under the Affiliated Financing Documents (the
"Affiliated
Borrowers"),
regardless of which of the Borrowers or the Affiliated Borrowers actually
receives the proceeds of the indebtedness governed hereby or the benefit
of any
other extensions of credit hereunder or the benefit of any other extension
of
credit under the Affiliated Financing Documents, or the manner in which
the
Borrowers, the Affiliated Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
account therefor in their respective books and records. In addition, each
entity
comprising Borrowers hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the
representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements
and
other terms contained in this Agreement shall be applicable to and shall
be
binding upon and measured and enforceable individually against each Person
comprising Borrowers as well as all such Persons when taken together. By
way of
illustration, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
terms of
SectionΒ 11.1
of this
Agreement are to be applied to each individual Person comprising the Borrowers
(as well as to all such Persons taken as a whole), such that the occurrence
of
any of the events described in SectionΒ 11.1
of this
Agreement as to any Person comprising the Borrowers shall constitute an
Event of
Default even if such event has not occurred as to any other Persons comprising
the Borrowers or as to all such Persons taken as a whole (except as otherwise
expressly provided therein).
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Each
Borrower acknowledges that it will enjoy significant benefits from the
business
conducted by the other Borrowers and the Affiliated Borrowers because
of,
Β
Β
inter
alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including without
limitation their ability to receive the credit extensions under this Agreement
and the other Financing Documents and the Affiliated Financing Documents
on
favorable terms granted by this Agreement and other Financing Documents
and the
Affiliated Financing Documents which would not have been available to an
individual Borrower acting alone. Each Borrower has determined that it
is in its
best interest to procure the credit facilities contemplated hereunder,
with the
credit support of the other Borrowers as contemplated by this Agreement
and the
other Financing Documents and the credit support of the Affiliated Borrowers
as
contemplated by the Affiliated Financing Documents.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Administrative
Agent and Lenders have advised the Borrowers that each of them is unwilling
to
enter into this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the Affiliated
Financing Documents and make available the credit facilities extended hereby
or
thereby to any Borrower or Affiliated Borrower unless each Borrower agrees,
among other things, to be jointly and severally liable for the due and
proper
payment of the Obligations of each other Borrower under this Agreement
and other
Financing Documents and of each Affiliated Borrower under the Affiliated
Financing Documents. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best
interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce the Administrative
Agent and Lender to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other
documents executed in connection herewith (i)Β because of the desirability
to each Borrower of the credit facilities hereunder and to each Affiliated
Borrower of the credit facilities under the Affiliated Financing Documents
and
the interest rates and the modes of borrowing available hereunder and
thereunder, (ii)Β because each Borrower may engage in transactions jointly
with other Borrowers or Affiliated Borrowers, and (iii)Β because each
Borrower may require, from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement
for the purposes herein set forth. Each Borrower, individually, expressly
understands, agrees and acknowledges, that the credit facilities contemplated
hereunder would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence
of the
collective credit of all of the Persons constituting the Borrowers and
the
Affiliated Borrowers, the joint and several liability of all such Persons,
and
the cross-collateralization of the collateral of all such Persons hereunder
and
under the Affiliated Financing Documents. Accordingly, each Borrower,
individually acknowledges that the benefit to each of the Persons comprising
the
Borrowers as a whole constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless
of the
amount of the indebtedness actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount
of
credit provided to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any individual
Borrower.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Each
Borrower has determined that it is and, after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the Affiliated
Financing Documents (including, without limitation, the inter-Borrower
arrangement set forth in this Section)Β will be Solvent and has and will
have the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection
with
the conduct of its business as such debts mature and that the value of
the
benefits to be derived by such Borrower from the access to funds under
this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the inter-Borrower arrangement
set
forth in this Section)Β is reasonably equivalent to the obligations
undertaken pursuant hereto.
Β
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β The
Borrower Representative (on behalf of each Borrower)Β shall maintain records
specifying (i)Β all Obligations incurred by each Borrower, (ii)Β the
date of such incurrence, (iii)Β the date and amount of any payments made in
respect of such Obligations, and (iv)Β all inter-Borrower obligations
pursuant to this Section. The Borrower Representative shall make copies
of such
records available to the Administrative Agent, upon request.
Β
(f)Β Β Β Β To
the
extent that applicable law otherwise would render the full amount of the
joint
and several obligations of any Borrower hereunder, under the other Financing
Documents and under the Affiliated Financing Documents invalid or unenforceable,
such Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents
and Affiliated Financing Documents shall be limited to the maximum amount
which
does not result in such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however,
that
each Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents
and Affiliated Financing Documents shall be presumptively valid and enforceable
to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof,
as if
this SectionΒ were not a part of this Agreement.
Β
(g)Β Β Β Β To
the
extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this SectionΒ of all or
any of the Obligations (other than credit facilities made to that Borrower
for
which it is primarily liable)Β (a "Joint
Liability Payment")Β which,
taking into account all other Joint Liability Payments then previously
or
concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount which such
Borrower
would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations
satisfied by such Joint Liability Payments in the same proportion that
such
Borrower's Allocable Amount (as defined below)Β (as determined immediately
prior to such Joint Liability Payments)Β bore to the aggregate Allocable
Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the
making
of such Joint Liability Payments, then, following indefeasible payment
in full
in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower
shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments
from, and
be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro
rata
based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior
to
such Joint Liability Payments. As of any date of determination, the
"Allocable
Amount"
of any
Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could
then be
recovered from such Borrower under this SectionΒ without rendering such
claim voidable or avoidable under SectionΒ 548 of Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer
Act,
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.
Β
(h)Β Β Β Β Except
as
specifically provided in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents,
Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the time
and
manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from
any
Borrower or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on
all
Borrowers. All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied,
in whole or in part, to any of the Obligations as Administrative Agent
shall
determine in its sole discretion without affecting the validity or
enforceability of the Obligations of any other Borrower or Affiliated
Borrower.
Β
Β
(i)Β Β Β Β Each
Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations
hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i)Β the absence of any
attempt to collect the Obligations from any obligor or other action to
enforce
the same; (ii)Β the waiver or consent by Administrative Agent and/or any
applicable Lender(s)Β with respect to any provision of any instrument
evidencing the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other agreement
heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Borrower or Affiliated Borrower
and
delivered to Administrative Agent and/or any Lender; (iii)Β failure by
Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security
interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for
the
Obligations; (iv)Β the institution of any proceeding under the United States
Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against a Borrower or
Affiliated Borrower or Administrative Agent's or any Lender's election
in any
such proceeding of the application of SectionΒ 1111(b)(2)Β of the United
States Bankruptcy Code; (v)Β any borrowing or grant of a security interest
by a Borrower or Affiliated Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under
SectionΒ 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (vi)Β the
disallowance, under XxxxxxxΒ 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code, of
all or any portion of Administrative Agent's or any Lender's claim(s)Β for
repayment of any of the Obligations; or (vii)Β any other circumstance other
than payment in full of the Obligations which might otherwise constitute
a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.
Β
(j)Β Β Β Β Until
all
Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full, no payment made by or
for the
account of a Borrower or Affiliated Borrower including, without limitation,
(i)Β a payment made by such Borrower or Affiliated Borrower on behalf of the
liabilities of any other Borrower or Affiliated Borrower, or (ii)Β a payment
made by any other person under any Guarantee, shall entitle such Borrower
or
Affiliated Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from any
other
Borrower or Affiliated Borrower or from or out of any other Borrower's
or
Affiliated Borrower's property and such Borrower or Affiliated Borrower
shall
not exercise any right or remedy against any other Borrower or Affiliated
Borrower or any property of any other Borrower or Affiliated Borrower by
reason
of any performance of such Borrower or Affiliated Borrower of its joint
and
several obligations hereunder.
Β
(k)Β Β Β Β Any
notice given by one Borrower hereunder shall constitute and be deemed to
be
notice given by all Borrowers and Affiliated Borrowers, jointly and severally.
Notice given by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any one Borrower
or
Affiliated Borrower hereunder or pursuant to any Financing Documents or
Affiliated Financing Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof
shall constitute notice to each and every Borrower and Affiliated Borrower.
The
knowledge of one Borrower or Affiliated Borrower shall be imputed to all
Borrowers and Affiliated Borrowers and any consent by one Borrower or Affiliated
Borrower shall constitute the consent of and shall bind all Borrowers and
Affiliated Borrower.
Β
(l)Β Β Β Β This
SectionΒ is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and
Affiliated Borrowers and nothing set forth in this SectionΒ is intended to
or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to
pay any
amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance
with the
terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Documents. Nothing contained
in
this SectionΒ shall limit the liability of any
Β
Β
Borrower
to pay the credit facilities made directly or indirectly to that Borrower
and
accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such
Borrower
shall be primarily liable.
Β
(m)Β Β Β Β The
parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification
hereunder shall constitute assets of each Borrower to which such contribution
and indemnification is owing. The rights of any indemnifying Borrower against
the other Borrowers or Affiliated Borrowers under this SectionΒ shall be
exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and
the
termination of the credit facilities hereunder and under the Affiliated
Financing Documents.

(a)Β Β Β Β Each
Borrower, as joint and several primary obligor of the Obligations directly
incurred by any other Borrower or by any Affiliated Borrower, authorizes
