Each U. S. Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the U.S. Borrower to such U.S. Lender resulting from each U.S. Revolving Credit Loan of such U.S. Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid to such U.S. Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
Each U. S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such U.S. Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the U.S. Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.
Each U. S. Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrowers) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each such Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrowers under Section 9.04, to the extent that the Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers. For purposes of this Section 8.05(b), the U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the aggregate principal amount of the Existing U.S. Letter of Credit Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective U.S. Revolving Credit Lenders. The failure of any such Lender Party to reimburse the Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Issuing Bank as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Issuing Bank for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each such Lender Party contained in this Section 8.05(b) shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
Each U. S. Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Revolving Lenders with respect to any of the U.S. Finance Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Finance Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to any the Administrative Agent or any member of the Lender Group hereunder or under any of the Bank Product Agreements are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the U.S. Finance Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any U.S. Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such U.S. Finance Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other U.S. Borrower therefor.
Each U. S. Borrower further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in favor of any other U.S. Borrower or any other Person.
Each U. S. Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such U.S. Borrower will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other U.S. Borrower owing to such U.S. Borrower until the U.S. Finance Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such U.S. Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such U.S. Borrower as trustee for the Administrative Agent, and such U.S. Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to the Administrative Agent for application to the U.S. Finance Obligations in accordance with Section 2.3(b).
Each U. S. Borrower and Canadian Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable decision issued by a court of competent jurisdiction) and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on each such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Lender or L/C Participant to any Borrower.
Each U. S. Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness or other obligations owing by any U.S. Borrower to any other U.S. Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the U.S. Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each U.S. Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such U.S. Borrower will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other U.S. Borrower owing to such U.S. Borrower until the U.S. Obligations shall have been paid in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any U.S. Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such U.S. Borrower as trustee for Agent, and such U.S. Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to Agent for application to the U.S. Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Each U. S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.
Each U. S. Borrower Guarantor that is a Buyer Loan Party shall have duly executed and delivered the Closing Date U.S. Subsidiary Guaranty and (b) each Non-U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Buyer Loan Party shall have duly executed and delivered the Closing Date Non-U.S. Subsidiary Guaranty.
