due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender's share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender
maintained pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or
any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made
to the Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative
Agent by any Lender, such Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such
Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans or Revolving
Credit Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of
Exhibit G-l or G-2, respectively (a "Term Note" or "Revolving Credit Note",
respectively), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount;
provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the
occurrence of the Effective Date or the making of the Loans or issuance of
Letters of Credit on the Effective Date.
2.7 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally
agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving
Credit Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Effective
Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the
Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made,
payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and
December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first
of such dates to occur after the date hereof.
(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates from time to time
agreed to in writing by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
32
2.8 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The
Borrowers shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days' notice
to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or,
from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any
prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof,
the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a
whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect.
2.9 Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time
to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty
(except as otherwise provided herein), upon irrevocable notice delivered to the
Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three
Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and no later than
12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto in the case of
Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such
prepayment, whether such prepayment is of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans,
and whether such prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided,
that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts
owing pursuant to Section 2.19. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any
such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of
Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date
on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Credit
Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple
thereof.
2.10 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders
shall otherwise agree, if any Indebtedness shall be incurred by the Borrowers or
any of their Subsidiaries (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance
with Section 7.2 as in effect on the date of this Agreement), then on the date
of such incurrence, the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans (without a
corresponding reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be prepaid
and/or the outstanding Letters of Credit shall be cash collateralized, by an
amount equal to the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance or
incurrence, as set forth in Section 2.10(e). The provisions of this Section do
not constitute a consent to the incurrence of any Indebtedness by the Borrowers
or any of their Subsidiaries.
(b) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if
any Capital Stock shall be issued by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries
(other than in connection with a capital contribution by Holdings to the Capital
Stock of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries), then on the
date of such issuance, the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans (without a
corresponding reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be prepaid,
and/or the outstanding Letters of Credit shall be cash collateralized, by an
amount equal to 50% of the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance, as
set forth in Section 2.10(e). The provisions of this Section do not constitute a
consent to the issuance of any Capital Stock by any entity whose Capital Stock
is pledged pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
33
(c) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if
on any date the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash
Proceeds from any Asset Sale, Purchase Price Refund or Recovery Event then,
unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, on the date
of receipt by a Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Term
Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans (without a corresponding reduction of the
Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be prepaid, and/or the outstanding Letters
of Credit shall be cash collateralized, by an amount equal to the amount of such
Net Cash Proceeds, as set forth in Section 2.10(e); provided, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset
Sales and Recovery Events that may be excluded from the foregoing requirement
pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $2,500,000 in any fiscal year
of the Borrowers and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date the Term Loans
and Revolving Credit Loans (without a corresponding reduction of the Revolving
Credit Commitments) shall be prepaid, and/or the outstanding Letters of Credit
shall be cash collateralized, by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment
Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event, as set forth in Section
2.10(e). The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the
consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.5.
(d) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if,
for any fiscal year of the Borrowers commencing with the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2005, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the relevant Excess
Cash Flow Application Date, the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans
(without a corresponding reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment) shall be
prepaid, and/or the outstanding Letters of Credit shall be cash collateralized,
by an amount equal to the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow, as set forth
in Section 2.10(e). Each such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made
on a date (an "Excess Cash Flow Application Date") no later than five days after
the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrowers
referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such
prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the
date such financial statements are actually delivered.
(e) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant
to this Section shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans,
second, to the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and, third, to replace
outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash in a cash
collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.
2.11 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrowers may elect
from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent at least two Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of
such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made
only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrowers
may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by
giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable
notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial
Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular
Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority
Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their
sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that
34
is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such
Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
(b) The Borrowers may elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan as such
upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by
giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of
the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, provided
that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i)
when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have,
determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or
(ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination
or maturity date of such Facility, and provided, further, that if a Borrower
shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or
if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such
Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of
such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
2.12 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings,
conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all
selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to
such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal
amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal
to $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no
more than five Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.
2.13 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall
bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a
rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the
Applicable Margin in effect for such day.
(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it
is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day
plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.
(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or
Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement
Obligations (whether or not overdue) (to the extent legally permitted) shall
bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans,
the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement
Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit
Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any
Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable
hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the
relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not
relate to a particular Facility, the rate
35
then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2%),
in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such
non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before
judgment).
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section
shall be payable from time to time on demand.
2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and
commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate
Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the
interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the
case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent
shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrowers and the relevant Lenders of
each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a
Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve
Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on
which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify the Borrowers and the relevant Lenders of the effective date
and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of a Borrower, deliver to the
Borrowers a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in
determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.13(a).
2.15 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day
of any Interest Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by
reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the
Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as
conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their
affected Loans during such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the
Borrowers and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such
notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested
to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate
Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been
converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be
continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the
relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate
36
Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no
further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued
as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the
relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.
2.16 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the
Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder, each assignment by LCPI of Loans to
Lenders hereunder on the Effective Date, each payment by the Borrowers on
account of any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee, and any reduction of the
Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the respective
Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of
the relevant Lenders. Each payment of interest in respect of the Loans and each
payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of
such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective
amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.
(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal
of the Term Loans outstanding under any Term Loan Facility shall be allocated
among the Term Loan Lenders holding such Term Loans pro rata based on the
principal amount of such Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders, and shall be
applied to the installments of such Term Loans pro rata based on the remaining
outstanding principal amount of such installments. Amounts prepaid on account of
the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account
of principal of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to
the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then
held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement
Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing
Lender that issued such Letter of Credit.
(d) The application of any payment of Loans under any Facility
(including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base
Rate Loans under such Facility and, second, to Eurodollar Loans under such
Facility. Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Revolving Credit
Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the
date of such payment on the amount paid.
(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers
hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall
be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon,
New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrowers after 12:00 Noon,
New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next
following Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the
Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any
payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment
into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment
of
37
principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be
payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in
writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the
amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is
making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant
Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the
Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period
until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative
Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such borrowing made
available by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower is not made
available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days
after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to
recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to
Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrowers.
(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in
writing by the Borrowers prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the
Borrowers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers are
making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required
to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their
respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not
made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers within three Business Days
after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on
demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant
to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per
annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein
shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
against the Borrowers.
(h) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of payments on behalf of
Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to the
Lender or Lenders entitled thereto, in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent.
2.17 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance
by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to
the date hereof:
(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held
by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances,
loans or other extensions of
38
credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such
Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the
Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or
(ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender,
by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in
Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect
thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender,
upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for
such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled
to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly
notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by
reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of
Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy)
by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after
submission by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
corporation for such reduction.
(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The
obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.
2.18 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrowers under this
Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or
hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental
Authority, excluding net income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net
income taxes) and branch profits taxes imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a
result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and
the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any
such connection arising solely from such Agent's or such Lender's having
executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or
enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings
("Non-Excluded Taxes") or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any
amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender
39
hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after
payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other
amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to
increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded
Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the
requirements of paragraph (d), (e) or (f) of this Section, (ii) that are
attributable to the certifications made in the forms delivered by such Lender
pursuant to (d), (e) or (f) of this Section being untrue or inaccurate on the
date delivered in any material respect or (iii) that are United States
withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such
Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such
Lender's assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive
additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes
pursuant to this paragraph (a).
(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by a
Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter such Borrower shall send to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as
the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by
such Borrower showing payment thereof. If a Borrower fails to pay any
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority
or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other
required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Agents and the
Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable
by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(c), the Borrowers shall not be
obligated to indemnify any Agent or any Lender for any portion of such
incremental taxes, interest or penalties accruing on such Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes to the extent such liability is attributable to a failure or delay
by the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in making demand for such
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes. The agreements in this Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a "U.S. Person" as defined
in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the
Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two
copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility
of such Non-U.S. Lender for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming
exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of
the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest" a statement
substantially in the form of Exhibit H and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent
versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by
such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of,
U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrowers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each
Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or,
in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases
the related participation). In
40
addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the
obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S.
Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers at any time it
determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously
delivered certificate to the Borrowers (or any other form of certification
adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 2.18(d), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required
to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not
legally able to deliver.
(e) Upon the Borrower's reasonable request, each Lender that is a
"United States person" as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form).
(f) A Lender (or Transferee) that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender
(or Transferee) is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such
documentation and in such Lender's (or Transferee's) reasonable judgment such
completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal
position of such Lender (or Transferee).
(g) If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its discretion, that it
has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over such
refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.18 with respect to
the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such
Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) by the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall
not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax
returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
2.19 Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and
to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may
sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by a Borrower in making a
borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after such
Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by a Borrower in making any prepayment
after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar
Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect
thereto. Such indemnification may
41
include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted
or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure
to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in
the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that
would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable
rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the
Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as
reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on
such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with
leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any
amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrowers by any
Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder.
2.20 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such
Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and
convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b)
such Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be
converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the
then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier
period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on
a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be
required pursuant to Section 2.19.
2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.17, 2.18(b) or
2.20 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use
reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to
designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the
object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such
designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause
such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect
or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18(b) or 2.20.
2.22 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower
shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for
amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18 or gives a notice of illegality
pursuant to Section 2.20 or (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans
hereunder, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such
replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement,
(iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action
under Section 2.21 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts
owing pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18 or to eliminate the illegality referred
to in such notice of illegality given pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) the
replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other
amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement,
(v) the Borrower shall be
42
liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.19 (as though Section 2.19 were
applicable) if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be
purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto,
(vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) the Borrower shall
pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18,
as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such
replacement shall be consummated, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Prior to the Effective Date, the Existing
Issuing Lender has issued the Existing Letters of Credit which, from and after
the Effective Date, shall constitute Letters of Credit hereunder. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements
of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to
issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Effective
Date pursuant to this Section 3, together with the Existing Letters of Credit,
collectively, the "Letters of Credit") for the account of the Borrowers on any
Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may
be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing
Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving
effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment
or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would
be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and
(ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date
of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving
Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term
may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall
in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).
(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any
Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such
Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any
applicable Requirement of Law.
3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. Each Borrower may from
time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by
delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an
Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and
such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such
Issuing Lender may request. Concurrently with the delivery of an Application to
an Issuing Lender, the relevant Borrower shall deliver a copy thereof to the
Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will
process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and
information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its
customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested
thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary
thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the relevant
43
Borrower (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any
Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the
Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers
and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender
of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter
of Credit to the relevant Borrower. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly give
notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Lender (including the face amount thereof), and shall
provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent as soon as
possible after the date of issuance.
3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrowers will pay a fee on the
aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum
rate equal to 1.50%, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in
accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages and payable
quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In
addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own
account a fronting fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit issued by it equal to a percentage to be agreed upon between
the relevant Borrower and such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on
each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrowers shall pay or
reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses
as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating,
effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit.
3.4 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to
grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing
Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably
agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing
Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C
Participant's own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C
Participant's Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender's obligations
and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder
and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder (including
any interest payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.5). Each L/C
Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender
that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing
Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand
at such Issuing Lender's address for notices specified herein (and thereafter
the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount
equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of
such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (including any
interest payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.5). Each L/C
Participant's obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may
have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event
of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in
Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of
the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any
44
other Loan Document by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other L/C
Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b) If any amount (a "Participation Amount") required to be paid by
any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect
of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any
Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days
after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall so notify the
Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the L/C Participants, and each
L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such
Issuing Lender, on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such
Participation Amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate
during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender,
times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse
during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any Participation
Amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is
not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant
Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender
shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such
Participation Amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the
rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of an Issuing Lender
to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment
under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent any
L/C Participant's pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section
3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of
Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of
collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest
on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such L/C Participant (and thereafter the Administrative
Agent will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant) its pro rata share
thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by
such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender,
such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly
return to such Issuing Lender) the portion thereof previously distributed by
such Issuing Lender.
3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. Each Borrower jointly
and severally agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, on each date on which
such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrowers of the date and amount of a draft
presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender, for the
amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs
or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the
amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any
drawing, collectively, the "Payment Amount"). Each such payment shall be made to
such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money
of the United States of America and in
45
immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount
from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set
forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable
drawing, Section 2.13(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.13(c). Each drawing
under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in
clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with
respect to the Borrowers, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4
for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the related
Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of
Base Rate Loans in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect
to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving
Credit Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5, if the Administrative Agent
had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent
receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such
Letter of Credit.
3.6 Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower's obligations under this
Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the
Borrowers may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit or any other Person. Each Borrower also agrees with each
Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and such
Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by
the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even
though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged,
or any dispute between or among the Borrowers and any beneficiary of any Letter
of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred
or any claims whatsoever of the Borrowers against any beneficiary of such Letter
of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any
error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of
any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of
Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. Each Borrower agrees
that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection
with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if
done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance
with the standards or care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State
of New York, shall be binding on such Borrower and shall not result in any
liability of such Issuing Lender to such Borrower.
3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for
payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly
notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount
thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in
connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in
addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited to determining that the
documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in
connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with
such Letter of Credit.
3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application
related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this
Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
46
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and
to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, each
Borrower hereby jointly and severally represents and warrants to each Agent and
each Lender that:
4.1 Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance sheet of the Borrowers and their consolidated Subsidiaries as at
December 31, 2004 (including the notes thereto) (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet"),
copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared
giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the
consummation of the Transactions and the payment of the Delek US Dividend, (ii)
the Loans to be made on the Effective Date and the use of proceeds thereof and
(iii) the payment of estimated fees and expenses in connection with the
foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best
information available to the Borrowers as of the date of delivery thereof, and
presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated combined financial position
of the Borrowers and their consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2004,
assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually
occurred at such date.
(b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of each of MAPCO Express
and its consolidated Subsidiaries and MAPCO Family and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, and the related
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended
on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from
Ernst & Young LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each
Lender, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of MAPCO Express and
its consolidated Subsidiaries and MAPCO Family and its consolidated
Subsidiaries, respectively, as at such date, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then
ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes
thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently
throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm
of accountants and disclosed therein). The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries do
not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and
liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term
commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign
currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of
derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements
referred to in this paragraph. During the period from December 31, 2004 to and
including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries of any material part of their business or Property.
4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2004 there has been no development
or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
4.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the
corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its
Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the
business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct
of its business requires such qualification except to the
47
extent the failure to so qualify would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith
would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
4.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan
Party has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make,
deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case
of each Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary
corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to
authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subject
to Schedule 4.4, no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other
act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is
required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices that
have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings
referred to in Section 4.19. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and
delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement
constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto,
enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether
enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the
borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any
material Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues
pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other
than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or
Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding
of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened by or against any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with
respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or (b) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
4.7 No Default. Neither of the Borrowers nor any of their Subsidiaries
is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any
respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
48
4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Except as described on Schedule 4.8,
each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a
valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a
valid leasehold interest in, all its other property, and none of such property
is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.
4.9 Intellectual Property. Each of the Borrowers and each of their
Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all intellectual property necessary
for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No material claim has
been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of
any intellectual property or the validity or effectiveness of any intellectual
property, nor does any Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The
use of intellectual property by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries does not,
to their knowledge after due inquiry, infringe on the rights of any Person in
any material respect.
4.10 Taxes. Each of the Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries has
filed or caused to be filed all federal and state income tax returns and other
material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown
to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or
any of its Property and all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed
on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the
amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with
GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, as
the case may be); and no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the
Borrowers, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or
other charge (other than Liens for current taxes not yet due and payable).
4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any loans, and no
other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for "purchasing" or
"carrying" any "margin stock" within the respective meanings of each of the
quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect
or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board.
If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers will
furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing
effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-l
referred to in Regulation U.
4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes
against the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge
of any Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and
payment made to employees of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries have not been
in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable requirement
of law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from
the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries on account of employee health and
welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued
as a liability on the books of the relevant Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary.
4.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated funding
deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of
ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this
representation is made or
49
deemed made with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and each Single Employer
Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of
ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and
no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period
on the assets of a Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity. The present value
of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those
assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation
date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made,
exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits
by a material amount. Neither of the Borrowers nor any Commonly Controlled
Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that
has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability
under ERISA, and neither of the Borrowers nor any Commonly Controlled Entity
would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if a Borrower or any
such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all
Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on
which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is
in reorganization or insolvent.
4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an
"investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company",
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan
Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than
Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.
4.15 Subsidiaries. (a) The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15
constitute all the Subsidiaries of the Borrowers at the date hereof. Schedule
4.15 sets forth as of the Effective Date the name and jurisdiction of
incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to each Subsidiary, the percentage of
each class of Capital Stock owned by each Loan Party.
(b) There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls,
rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to
employees or directors and directors' qualifying shares) of any nature relating
to any Capital Stock of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries.
4.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used to
finance the Transactions, the Delek US Dividend and to pay related fees and
expenses. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Letters of Credit
shall be used for general corporate purposes; provided that, up to $10,000,000
of Revolving Credit Loans may be borrowed on the Effective Date to finance a
portion of the Transactions, the Delek US Dividend and to pay related fees and
expenses.
4.17 Environmental Matters. Subject to Schedule 4.17, other than
exceptions to any of the following that would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in the payment of a Material
Environmental Amount (after giving effect to any insurance coverage or any third
party indemnity as to which the third party indemnitor has acknowledged
coverage):
(a) Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries: (i) are, and within the period
of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all
applicable
50
Environmental Laws; (ii) hold all Environmental Permits (each of which is
in full force and effect) required for any of their current or intended
operations or for any property owned, leased, or otherwise operated by any
of them; (iii) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of
limitation have been, in compliance with all of their Environmental
Permits; and (iv) reasonably believe that: each of their Environmental
Permits will be timely renewed and complied with, without material expense;
any additional Environmental Permits that may be required of any of them
will be timely obtained and complied with, without material expense; and
compliance with any Environmental Law that is or is expected to become
applicable to any of them will be timely attained and maintained, without
material expense.
(b) Materials of environmental concern are not present at, on, under,

shall so assert;
then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified
in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to any Borrower,
automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans
hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all
amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then
outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required
thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is
any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be
taken: (i) with the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders,
the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority Revolving
Credit Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the
Borrowers declare the Revolving Credit Commitments to be terminated forthwith,
whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii)
with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon

Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of
Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to
repay other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan
76
Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully
drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all
other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral
account shall be returned to the Borrowers (or such other Person as may be
lawfully entitled thereto).
SECTION 9. THE AGENTS
9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such
capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities,
except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.
9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.
9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i)
liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to
the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such
Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any
manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under
or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party
to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of any Loan Party.
9.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype
message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by
77
the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent
accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and
treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such
Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and all actions
required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken.
Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive
such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by
this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance
with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement,
all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this
Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the
Loans.
9.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless
such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Administrative Agent
shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof
to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required
Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other
instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless
and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither any of the Agents nor any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have
made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent
hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any
affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that
it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender,
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly
78
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder,
no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property,
condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan
Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such
Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates.
9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its
capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without
limiting the obligation of each Borrower to do so), ratably according to their
respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which
indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought
after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans
shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure
Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save each Agent
harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at
any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the
Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent
under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall
be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates
may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of
business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With
respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of
Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and
may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms "Lender" and
"Lenders" shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may
resign as Administrative Agent upon ten days' notice to the Lenders and the
Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders
shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which
successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section
8(f) with respect to any Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be
subject to approval by the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the
rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term
"Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon such
appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or
further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of
the parties to this Agreement
79
or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as
Administrative Agent by the date that is ten days following a retiring
Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the
Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
agent as provided for above. The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice
to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent
hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the
Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the
benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the Syndication
Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent's
resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative
Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any
release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 10.15.
9.11 The Arranger; the Syndication Agent; the Co-Administrative Agent.
Neither the Arranger, the Syndication Agent nor the Co-Administrative Agent, in
their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities,
nor shall any such Person incur any liability, under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or
modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The
Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or
(with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent and
each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a)
enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the
other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof)
for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan
Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as
may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its
consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment,
supplement or modification shall:
(i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled
date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the
scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term
Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable under this
Agreement (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability
of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be
effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each
adversely affected Facility) and (y) that any amendment or
modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this
Agreement shall not
80
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of
this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof,
or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment
of any Lender, in each case without the consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby;
(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or
reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders
or Required Prepayment Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer
by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially
all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the
Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the consent
of all the Lenders;
(iii) amend, modify or waive any condition precedent to any
extension of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility set forth in
Section 5.2 (including, without limitation, the waiver of an existing
Default or Event of Default required to be waived in order for such
extension of credit to be made) without the consent of the Majority
Revolving Credit Facility Lenders;
(iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the
consent of all of the Lenders under such Facility;
(v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9, or any
other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of any
Agent, without the consent of any Agent directly affected thereby;
(vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.16 without
the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without
the consent of each Issuing Lender affected thereby; or
(viii) impose restrictions on assignments and participations that
are more restrictive than, or additional to, those set forth in
Section 10.6 without the consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby.
Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply
equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the
Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any
waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their
former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any
Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver,
amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument
signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed
81
signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement and any other Loan Document
may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party to each relevant
Loan Document (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this
Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding
thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof (collectively,
the "Additional Extensions of Credit") to share ratably in the benefits of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving
Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and
(y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any
determination of the Required Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders and Majority
Revolving Facility Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall
permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably with or with
preference to the Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments without the
consent of the Required Prepayment Lenders.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be
amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and
the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to
permit the refinancing or modification of all outstanding Term Loans
("Refinanced Term Loans") with a replacement "C" term loan tranche hereunder
("Replacement Term Loans"), provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of
such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of
such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term
Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term
Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans
shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such
Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (d) all other terms
applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to,
or no less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than,
those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary
to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the
latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such
refinancing.

Issuing Lender: As notified by such Issuing Lender to
the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers
provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the any Agent, any
Issuing Lender or any Lender shall not be effective until received.
Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be
delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not
apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the
Borrowers may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications.
10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no
delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as
a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
84
10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any document,
certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the
Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.
10.5 Payment of Expenses. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees
(a) to pay or reimburse the Agents for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities
(other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation
and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in
connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the
Administrative Agent and the charges of Intralinks, (b) to pay or reimburse each
Lender and the Agents for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or
therewith, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel
(including the allocated fees and disbursements and other charges of in-house
counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Agents, (c) to pay, indemnify, or
reimburse each Lender and the Agents for, and hold each Lender and the Agents
harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities
with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other
taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection
with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of
the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification
of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify or
reimburse each Lender, each Agent, their respective affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and
controlling persons (each, an "Indemnitee") for, and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by an Indemnitee or asserted against
any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto
or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds thereof
(including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual
or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from
any property owned, occupied or operated by the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries, or any violation of, non-compliance with or liability under any
Environmental Laws related in any way to the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries or any or their respective properties, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in
this clause (d), collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), provided, that
the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect
85
to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found
by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to
have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use
by unauthorized persons of Information or other materials sent through
electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that
are intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages in connection with the Facilities. Without limiting the
foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower agrees
not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and
agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution from
the Lenders or any other rights of recovery from the Lenders with respect to all
claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and
expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws,
that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee,
provided that, such waiver shall not apply if, and to the extent, such claim for
contribution or recovery arises out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee as found by a final nonappealable decision of a
court of competent jurisdiction. All amounts due under this Section shall be
payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable
by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to the president
and the chief financial officer of each Borrower, at the address of MAPCO
Express and MAPCO Family set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or
address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrowers in a notice to the
Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the
Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective
successors and assigns, except that neither of the Borrowers may assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Agents and each Lender.
(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, in
accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial
institutions or other entities (each, a "Participant") participating interests
in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other
interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the
event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant,
such Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible
for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such
Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the
Borrowers and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under
any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any
provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan
Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent
would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1. Each Borrower
agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or
unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in
respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to
86
the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing
such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to
share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as
fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. Each Borrower also agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18
and 2.19 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans
outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided
that, in the case of Section 2.18, such Participant shall have complied with the
requirements of said Section (including the requirements of Section 2.18(d) or
Section 2.18(e) as applicable, as though it were a Lender), and provided,
further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount
pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled
to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such
transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.
(c) Any Lender (an "Assignor") may, in accordance with applicable law
and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time
to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control
Investment Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit
Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Lender (which, in each case,
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided (x) that no such
consent need be obtained by any Xxxxxx Entity and (y) the consent of the
Borrowers need not be obtained with respect to any assignment of Term Loans), to
an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an "Assignee") all or
any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an
Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, executed by
such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, by the Borrowers and such other Persons) and delivered to the
Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided
that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate
thereof, including any Related Fund) shall be in an aggregate principal amount
of less than $1,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a
Lender's interests under this Agreement) and, after giving effect thereto, the
assigning Lender (if it shall retain any commitments or Loans) shall have
commitments and Loans aggregating at least $1,000,000, in each case, unless
otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. Any such
assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution,
delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be
a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or
Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering
all of an Assignor's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor
shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5 in
respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any
provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required
for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set
forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall
be aggregated.
87
(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrowers,
maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment
and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error,
and the Borrowers, each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing
such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment
of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon
appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each
Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a
Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender
for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan,
accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more
new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the
designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative
Agent to the Borrowers marked "canceled". The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to
such Lender's Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person
is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment
to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500
(treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds
as a single assignment) (except that no such registration and processing fee
shall be payable (x) in connection with an assignment by or to a Xxxxxx Entity
or (y) in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate
or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender),
the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and
Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the
information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance
and recordation to the Borrowers. On or prior to such effective date, the
Borrowers, at their own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or
applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new
Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, to the
order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment
and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a
Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request,
a new Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order
of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or
applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new
Note or Notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the
form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.
(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes
relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit
assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without
limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.
88
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an
"SPC"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender
to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the
Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise
be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that
(i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and
(ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide
all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make
such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder
shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as
if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees
that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation
under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting
Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which
agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the
date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute
against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(g), any SPC may
(A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign
all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with
the prior written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions
providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to
support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential
basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency,
commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or
liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with
respect to any Borrower may be disclosed only with such Borrower's consent which
will not be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without
the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such
proposed amendment.
10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this
Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the
Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a "Benefited Lender") shall
at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it,
or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any
such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect
of such other Lender's Obligations, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for
cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each
such other Lender's Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the
benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted
Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with
each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender,
such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned,
to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
89
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by
law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrowers,
any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted
by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by each Borrower
hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set
off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any
other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time
held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the
credit or the account of any Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application
made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of
the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of
said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or of a
Lender Addendum by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement
signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent.
10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the entire agreement of the Borrowers, the Agents, the Arranger and
the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are
no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Arranger, any
Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or
referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in
respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of
the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of
the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and
appellate courts from any thereof;
90
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such
courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such
action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to
plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding
may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail
(or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such
Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address
of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant
thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the
right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it
may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to
in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
10.13 Acknowledgments. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(b) neither the Arranger, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary
relationship with or duty to the Borrowers arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the
relationship between the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders, on one hand,
and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith
is solely that of creditor and debtor; and
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents
or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among
the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders or among the Borrowers and the
Lenders.
10.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to
keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party
pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as
confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any Lender
from disclosing any such information (a) to the Arranger, any Agent, any other
Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee
(each, a "Transferee") or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the
provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of
its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional
advisors, (d) to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect
contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's
professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional
advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Section), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over it, (f) in response to any order of any court or other
Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any
Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding,
91
(h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i)
to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar
organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to
information about a Lender's investment portfolio in connection with ratings
issued with respect to such Lender or (j) in connection with the exercise of any
remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
10.15 Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in
any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrowers in connection with
any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any
Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified
Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its
security interest in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition,
and to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any
Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to
permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan
Documents.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any
other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in
respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement) have been paid in full, all
Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be
outstanding, upon request of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall
(without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of
any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such
actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all
Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations under any Loan
Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be
outstanding Obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements. Any such
release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision
that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release
any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby
shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any
Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for,
any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
10.16 Accounting Changes. In the event that any "Accounting Change"
(as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method
of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement,
then the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations
in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect
such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating
the Borrowers' financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting
Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such
an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants,
standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or
construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. "Accounting Change"
refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation
92
of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if
applicable, the SEC.
10.17 Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each initial Lender shall become a
party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender
Addendum duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent. Execution and delivery by a Lender, LCPI, the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower of a Lender Addendum on the Effective Date shall constitute an
assignment by LCPI to such Lender, and the assumption by such Lender, effective
on the Effective Date, of a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment equal to
its Revolving Credit Percentage (the "Assumed Revolving Credit Commitment"),
together with its pro rata portion of the Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable,
