available to the Company by the Administrative Agent's crediting the account of
the Company designated to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate amount
actually received by the Administrative Agent from the Deferred Draw Term Loan
Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
(b) The failure of any Deferred Draw Term Loan Lender to make the
Deferred Draw Term Loan to be made by it on any requested borrowing date shall
not relieve any other Deferred Draw Term Loan Lender of its obligation
hereunder to make its Deferred Draw Term Loan on such requested borrowing date,
but no Deferred Draw Term Loan Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Deferred Draw Term Loan Lender to make the Deferred Draw Term Loan to
be made by such other Deferred Draw Term Loan Lender on such requested

on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in such form as may be
approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that such Issuing
Lender shall have no obligation to issue such Special Letter of Credit if,
after giving effect to such issuance, the Special L/C Obligations would exceed
the Aggregate Special L/C Commitment. Each Special Letter of Credit shall (i)
be denominated in Dollars, (ii) be a standby letter of credit issued to support
a Permitted Special L/C Obligation and (iii) expire no later than one year from

exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
4.2 Procedure for Issuance of Special Letters of Credit. The Company
may from time to time request that the Administrative Agent designate an
Issuing Lender with respect to any Special Letter of Credit which the Company
seeks to have issued. In the event that the Administrative Agent is able to
designate an Issuing Lender with respect to such Special Letter of Credit, the
Company shall request that such Issuing Lender issue a Special 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 reasonably may request. Upon receipt of any Application,
such 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 Special Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such
Issuing Lender be required to issue any Special
54
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) by issuing the original of such
Special Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be
agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Company. Such Issuing Lender shall notify
the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly forward such notice to the Special
L/C Participants) promptly following the request for and following the issuance
of the Special Letter of Credit and furnish a copy of such Special Letter of
Credit to the Company and to the Administrative Agent promptly following the
issuance thereof.
4.3 Special L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender with respect to
each Special Letter of Credit irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to
each Special L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue
Special Letters of Credit hereunder, each Special L/C Participant irrevocably
agrees to accept and purchase, and hereby accepts and purchases, from such
Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such
Special L/C Participant's own account and risk an undivided interest equal to
such Special L/C Participant's Special L/C Commitment Percentage in such
Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under each Special Letter of Credit
issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender
thereunder. Each Special L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees
with such Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Special Letter of
Credit issued by it for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by
the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Special L/C
Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing
Lender's address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Special
L/C Participant's Special L/C Commitment Percentage of the amount of such
draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any Special L/C Participant
to an Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 4.3(a) in respect of any
unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any
Special Letter of Credit issued by it is paid to such Issuing Lender within
three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Special L/C
Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the
product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal funds rate, as
quoted by such Issuing Lender, 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 such amount required to be paid by any Special L/C
Participant pursuant to subsection 4.3(a) is not in fact made available to such
Issuing Lender by such Special L/C Participant within three Business Days after
the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover
from such Special L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon
calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Alternate
Base Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender
submitted to any Special L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing
under this subsection 4.3(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment
under any Special Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any
Special L/C Participant its pro
55
rata share of such payment in accordance with subsection 4.3(a), such Issuing
Lender receives any payment related to such Special Letter of Credit (whether
directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral
applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account
thereof, such Issuing Lender promptly will distribute to such Special 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 Special L/C Participant shall return to
such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing
Lender to it.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
subsection 4.3, the failure of any Special L/C Participant to make any payment
due by it under this subsection 4.3 in a timely manner shall not relieve any
other Special L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make its own
payment in a timely manner, but no Special L/C Participant shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Special L/C Participant to make any payment
pursuant to this subsection 4.3 owing by such other Special L/C Participant on
any date.
4.4 Reimbursement Obligation of the Company. The Company agrees to
reimburse each Issuing Lender on each date on which such Issuing Lender
notifies the Company of the date and amount of a draft presented under any
Special Letter of Credit issued 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. Each
such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender at its address for
notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in
immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts
remaining unpaid by the Company under this subsection 4.4 from the date such
amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any
outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans which were then overdue.
4.5 Obligations Absolute. The Company's obligations under this Section
4 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the
Company may have or have had against the relevant Issuing Lender, any
beneficiary of a Special Letter of Credit, any Lender or any other Person. The
Company also agrees with each Issuing Lender with respect to a Special Letter
of Credit that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the
Company's Special L/C Reimbursement Obligations under subsection 4.4 shall not
be affected by, among other things, 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 Company
and any beneficiary of any Special Letter of Credit or any other party to which
such Special Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of
the Company against any beneficiary of such Special 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 Special Letter of Credit
issued by it, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Lender's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company agrees that any action
taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Special
Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing
56
Lender or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care
specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be
binding on the Company and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing
Lender to the Company.
4.6 Special Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented
for payment under any Special Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender in respect
of such Special Letter of Credit shall promptly notify the Company of the date
and amount thereof. The responsibility of such Issuing Lender to the Company in
connection with any draft presented for payment under any Special Letter of
Credit issued by it shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly
provided for in such Special Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that
the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Special Letter of
Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Special
Letter of Credit.
4.7 Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application
related to any Special Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of
this Section 4, the provisions of this Section 4 shall apply.
4.8 Cash Collateral for Special Letters of Credit. (a) (i) If the
Special L/C Lenders holding the majority of the Aggregate Special L/C
Commitment shall so request at any time and from time to time when an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) at any time and from time to
time when the Required Lenders so request, the Company shall promptly deposit
in a cash collateral account opened and maintained by the Administrative Agent
(which cash collateral account shall be separate from that which is opened and
maintained pursuant to subsection 7.8) an amount at least equal to the
aggregate amount of all Undrawn Special L/C Obligations.
(b) The Company hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Special L/C Lenders, as collateral security for the
payment in full of all Payment Obligations of the Company on account of Special
Letters of Credit owing to the Special L/C Lenders, a security interest in all
amounts from time to time held in the cash collateral account maintained
pursuant to paragraph (a) above. Amounts held therein shall at all times be
under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent shall at all times have the exclusive right of withdrawal
with respect thereto; provided that the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that
it shall withdraw amounts from such cash collateral account only in accordance
with the provisions of clauses (c) and (d) below.
(c) Amounts held in the cash collateral account maintained pursuant to
paragraph (a) above shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment
of unreimbursed Special L/C Reimbursement Obligations, with the unused portion
thereof (if any) after all such Special Letters of Credit shall have expired or
been fully drawn upon and reimbursed (i) during such time as an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, being applied to pay other Payment
Obligations of the Company on account of amounts outstanding under the
Aggregate Initial Term Loan Commitment, the Aggregate Deferred Draw Term Loan
Commitment, the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment, the Aggregate Acquisition
Loan Commitment and the Aggregate
57
Special L/C Commitment and (ii) otherwise, being returned to the Company in
accordance with the provisions of subsection 4.8(d).
(d) Without diminishing the sole dominion and control of the
Administrative Agent over amounts from time to time on deposit in the cash
collateral account maintained pursuant to clause (a) above, the Administrative
Agent shall from time to time return to the Company amounts on deposit in such
cash collateral account as follows:
(i) after all outstanding Special Letters of Credit shall have expired
or been fully drawn upon and reimbursed, the Administrative Agent shall
return to the Company all amounts on deposit in such cash collateral
account; provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
then continuing;
(ii) to the extent that the amounts on deposit exceed the amount of
Special L/C Obligations then outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall
return to the Company such excess amounts which are on deposit in such cash
collateral account; provided that no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is then continuing;
(iii) after all Payment Obligations of the Company have been Fully
Satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Company all amounts
then on deposit in such cash collateral account which are in excess of the
amount necessary to cause the Payment Obligations then outstanding to be
Fully Satisfied; and
(iv) to the extent required pursuant to subsection 10.3(a).
4.9 Existing Special Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Security Document, each of the
letters of credit described on Schedule IX as a "Special Letter of Credit"
shall, from and after the Closing Date, be deemed to have been issued pursuant
to subsection 4.1(a) of this Agreement, with the Special L/C Lender set forth
in said Schedule IX as the issuing bank for each such existing letter of credit
being deemed to be the Issuing Lender in respect of such Special Letter of
Credit hereunder and with each other Special L/C Lender being deemed to be a
Special L/C Participant with respect to such Special Letter of Credit for
purposes of this Agreement and the Security Documents. The Company shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the relevant Issuing Lender and
Special L/C Participants, the fees and commissions described in subsection 10.7
with respect to each such Special Letter of Credit. The Company hereby
represents and warrants that each letter of credit described on Schedule IX as
a "Special Letter of Credit" supports a Permitted Special L/C Obligation.
58
SECTION 5. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF REVOLVING CREDIT SUB-FACILITY
5.1 Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, each Multi-Currency Lender severally agrees to
make loans in Dollars to the Company (individually, a "Revolving Credit Loan";
collectively, the "Revolving Credit Loans") under the Aggregate Multi-Currency
Commitment from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate
principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed such Multi-Currency
Lender's Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of the amount equal to the
Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment; provided that at no time (after giving
effect to the making of such Revolving Credit Loans and the use of the proceeds
thereof) may (i) the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions
of Credit exceed the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment or (ii) the Available
Multi-Currency Commitment be less than zero. During the Commitment Period, the
Company may use the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment by borrowing Revolving
Credit Loans, repaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
5.2 Obligations of Company. (a) The Company hereby agrees that each
Revolving Credit Loan made by each Multi-Currency Lender to the Company
pursuant hereto shall constitute the promise and obligation of the Company to
pay to such Multi-Currency Lender, at the office of the Administrative Agent
listed in subsection 17.3, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such
Multi-Currency Lender pursuant to subsection 5.1, which amounts shall be due
and payable (whether at maturity or by acceleration) as set forth in this
Agreement and, in any event, on the Termination Date.
(b) The Company hereby agrees that each Multi-Currency Lender is
authorized to record (i) the date and amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made
by such Multi-Currency Lender pursuant to subsection 5.1, (ii) the date of each
interest rate conversion pursuant to subsection 10.8 which is applicable to
such Revolving Credit Loan and the principal amount subject thereto, (iii) the
date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of each Revolving
Credit Loan made by the Company to such Multi-Currency Lender and (iv) in the
case of each Revolving Credit Loan which bears interest at a rate based upon
the Eurodollar Rate, the interest rate and Interest Period, in the books and
records of such Multi-Currency Lender and in such manner as is reasonable and
customary for it and a certificate of an officer of such Multi-Currency Lender,
setting forth in reasonable detail the information so recorded, shall
constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded;
provided that the failure to make any such recording shall not in any way
affect the Payment Obligations of the Company hereunder.
(c) The Company agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative
Agent by any Multi-Currency Lender at any time, the Revolving Credit Loans of
such Multi-Currency Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the
Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit B with appropriate insertions as
to date and principal amount (a "Revolving Credit Note"), payable to the order
of such Multi-Currency Lender and representing the obligation of
59
the Company to pay a principal amount equal to the amount of the Aggregate
Multi-Currency Commitment of such Multi-Currency Lender or, if less, the
aggregate unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans made by such
Multi-Currency Lender, with interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof
from time to time outstanding under such Revolving Credit Note as prescribed in
subsection 10.6. Upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Multi-
Currency Lender at any time, the Company shall execute and deliver to such
Multi-Currency Lender two Revolving Credit Notes, one of which shall evidence
the Eurodollar Loans of such Multi-Currency Lender, and the other of which
shall evidence the Alternate Base Rate Loans of such Multi-Currency Lender.
5.3 Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Credit Loans. (a) The Company
may request a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans during the Commitment Period
on any Working Day, if the Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed are Eurodollar
Loans, or on any Business Day, if the Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed are
Alternate Base Rate Loans, by giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative
Agent, specifying (i) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed, (ii) the
requested borrowing date, (iii) whether the Revolving Credit Loans to be
borrowed are to be Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a
combination thereof and, if a combination, the respective aggregate amount of
each type of borrowing and (iv) if the Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed
are Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest Period or Interest Periods
applicable thereto; provided that any Revolving Credit Loans to be made to the
Company on the Closing Date shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans. Any
such notice of borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to
11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Working Days prior to the requested
borrowing date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and one Business Day prior to
the requested borrowing date, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans. Each
borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall, subject to subsection 10.8(h), be in
an aggregate principal amount equal to (x) $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) or (y) the
lesser of $5,000,000 (or, if less, the maximum amount which is then available
to the Company pursuant to subsection 5.1(a)) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000
in excess thereof (in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans). Upon receipt of
any such notice, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
Multi-Currency Lender thereof. Each Multi-Currency Lender will make available
to the Administrative Agent at the office of the Administrative Agent specified
in subsection 17.3 (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent may
direct), by 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested borrowing date, an
amount equal to the Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of such Multi-
Currency Lender times the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Loans requested to be borrowed in Dollars, in funds immediately available to
the Administrative Agent. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans received
by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall promptly be made available to the
Company by the Administrative Agent's crediting the account of the Company
designated to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate amount actually
received by the Administrative Agent from the Multi-Currency Lenders and in
like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
(b) The failure of any Multi-Currency Lender to make the Revolving
Credit Loan to be made by it on any requested borrowing date shall not relieve
any other Multi-Currency Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its
Revolving Credit Loan on such borrowing date,
60
but no Multi-Currency Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Multi-Currency Lender to make the Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such
other Multi-Currency Lender on such borrowing date.
5.4 Use of Proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans. The proceeds of the
Revolving Credit Loans hereunder shall be used for the purpose of refinancing
certain outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries under the
Existing Agreement, repurchasing or redeeming the Sinking Fund Debentures and
for general corporate purposes (other than to finance Investments with respect
to which the Investment Consideration is more than $5,000,000 in the
aggregate).
5.5 Refunded Revolving Credit Loans. (a) At any time and from time to
time when the aggregate principal amount (net of amounts previously refunded
under this subsection 5.5) of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans which
have been used to finance Investments is more than $5,000,000, the
Administrative Agent shall (on behalf of the Company) request a borrowing of
Syndicated Acquisition Loans (which shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans)
from the Acquisition Direct Lenders under the Aggregate Acquisition Loan
Commitment in the amount of such Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans
(the "Refunded Revolving Credit Loan") outstanding on the date such notice is
given.
(b) Unless any of the events described in paragraph (m) of Section 15
shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of clause (c) of this
subsection 5.5 shall apply) each Acquisition Direct Lender shall make the
proceeds of its Syndicated Acquisition Loan available to Administrative Agent,
for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Swing Line Lender (as
the case may be), at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in
subsection 17.3 prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) in funds immediately
available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given.
The proceeds of such Syndicated Acquisition Loans shall be immediately applied
to repay the Refunded Revolving Credit Loan.
(c) If, prior to the making of a Syndicated Acquisition Loan pursuant
to clause (b) above, one of the events described in paragraph (m) of Section 15
shall have occurred, each Acquisition Direct Lender will, on the date such
Syndicated Acquisition Loan was to have been made, purchase an undivided
participating interest in the Refunded Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal
to its Acquisition Loan Commitment Percentage of such Refunded Revolving Credit
Loan. Each Acquisition Direct Lender will immediately transfer to the
Administrative Agent (for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the
Swing Line Lender, as the case may be), in immediately available funds, the
amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent
will (on behalf of the Swing Line Lender or the relevant Revolving Credit
Lenders, as the case may be) deliver to such Acquisition Direct Lender a
Refunded Revolving Credit Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of
receipt of such funds and in such amount. Whenever, at any time after the
Administrative Agent has received from any Acquisition Direct Lender such
Acquisition Direct Lender's participating interest in a Refunded Revolving
Credit Loan pursuant to this clause (c), the Administrative Agent receives any
payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such
Acquisition Direct Lender its participating interest in such amount
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
61
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Acquisition Direct
Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded) in like funds as
received; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by
the Administrative Agent is required to be returned, such Acquisition Direct
Lender will return to the Administrative Agent any portion thereof previously
distributed by the Administrative Agent to it in like funds as such payment is
required to be returned by the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 6. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF SWING LINE SUB-FACILITY
6.1 Swing Line Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make swing line loans (individually, a
"Swing Line Loan"; collectively, the "Swing Line Loans") to the Company under
the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment from time to time during the Commitment
Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to
exceed $30,000,000, provided that at no time (after giving effect to the making
of such Swing Line Loan and the use of the proceeds thereof) may (i) the sum of
the Aggregate Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit exceed the
Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment or (ii) the Available Multi-Currency
Commitment be less than zero. Amounts borrowed by the Company under this
subsection 6.1 may be repaid and, up to but excluding the last day of the
Commitment Period, reborrowed. All Swing Line Loans shall be made as Alternate
Base Rate Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurodollar
Loans. The Company shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (which
notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 11:00 A.M., New York
City time) on the requested borrowing date specifying the amount of each
requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 or a
whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. The proceeds of each Swing Line
Loan will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to the Company by
crediting the account of the Company designated to the Swing Line Lender with
such proceeds.
(b) The Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note of
the Company substantially in the form of Exhibit C, with appropriate insertions
(the "Swing Line Note"), payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender and
representing the obligation of the Company to pay the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Swing Line Loans, with interest thereon as prescribed
in subsection 10.6. The Swing Line Lender is hereby authorized to record the
borrowing date, the amount of each Swing Line Loan and the date and amount of
each payment or prepayment of principal thereof, on the schedule annexed to and
constituting a part of the Swing Line Note and, in the absence of manifest
error, any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the
accuracy of the information so recorded, provided that the failure of the Swing
Line Lender to make such recordation (or any error in such recordation) shall
not affect the Payment Obligations of the Company hereunder or under such Note.
The Swing Line Note shall (a) be dated the Closing Date, (b) be stated to
mature on the Termination Date and (c) bear interest for the period from the
Closing Date on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time
outstanding at the applicable interest rate per annum determined as provided
in, and payable as specified in, subsection 10.6.
62
(c) The Swing Line Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion, may, and at any time as there shall be $25,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding shall, on behalf of the
Company (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its
behalf) request each Multi-Currency Lender, including Chase, to make a
Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Multi-Currency Lender's
Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Line Loans (the
"Refunded Swing Line Loans") outstanding on the date such notice is given.
Unless any of the events described in paragraph (m) of Section 15 shall have
occurred (in which event the procedures of paragraph (d) of this subsection 6.1
shall apply) each Multi-Currency Lender shall make the proceeds of its
Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Line Lender for its own account at
the office specified for Chase in subsection 17.3 prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York
City time) in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding
the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans
shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans.
(d) If, prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to
paragraph (c) of subsection 6.1, one of the events described in paragraph (m)
of Section 15 shall have occurred, each Multi-Currency Lender will, on the date
such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made, purchase an undivided
participating interest in the Refunded Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to
its Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of such Refunded Swing Line Loan. Each
Multi-Currency Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in
immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt
thereof the Swing Line Lender will deliver to such Multi-Currency Lender a
Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such
funds and in such amount.
(e) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received
from any Multi-Currency Lender such Multi-Currency Lender's participating
interest in a Refunded Swing Line Loan pursuant to clause (d) above, the Swing
Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will
distribute to such Multi-Currency Lender its participating interest in such
amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect
the period of time during which such Multi-Currency Lender's participating
interest was outstanding and funded) in like funds as received; provided,
however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender
is required to be returned, such Multi-Currency Lender will return to the Swing
Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Line Lender
to it in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by the Swing
Line Lender.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Multi-Currency Lender shall be
required to make such a Revolving Credit Loan to the Company for the purpose of
refunding a Swing Line Loan pursuant to clause (c) above or to purchase a
participating interest in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to clause (d) above if,
prior to the making by the Swing Line Lender of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing
Line Lender has received written notice from such Multi-Currency Lender
specifying that such Multi-Currency Lender believes in good faith that a
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, describing the
nature of such Default or Event of Default and stating that, as a result
thereof, such Multi-Currency Lender shall cease to make such Revolving Credit
Loans or purchase such participating interests, as the case may be; provided
63
that the obligation of such Multi-Currency Lender to make such Revolving Credit
Loans and to purchase such participating interests shall be reinstated upon the
earlier to occur of (i) the date upon which such Multi-Currency Lender notifies
the Swing Line Lender that its prior notice has been withdrawn and (ii) the
date upon which the Default or Event of Default specified in such notice no
longer is continuing (it being understood that, in the event that such Default
or Event of Default was not continuing at the time that the Swing Line Lender
received such notice, such Multi-Currency Lender shall be obligated to make its
Revolving Credit Loan or purchase its participating interest in such Swing Line
Loan promptly upon discovery that its good faith belief was erroneous).
6.2 Participations. Each Multi-Currency Lender's obligation to
purchase participating interests pursuant to paragraph (d) of subsection 6.1
shall (except to the extent expressly set forth in subsection 6.1(f)) be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Multi-Currency Lender may have against the
Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default; (c) any adverse
change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any other
Person; (d) any breach of this Agreement by the Company or any other
Multi-Currency Lender; or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
6.3 Use of Proceeds of Swing Line Loans. The proceeds of the Swing
Line Loans hereunder shall be used by the Company for any purpose for which the
proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans may be used.
SECTION 7. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF OPERATING LETTER OF CREDIT
SUB-FACILITY
7.1 Operating Letter of Credit Facility. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance upon the representations
and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents and upon the
agreements of the other Multi-Currency Lenders set forth in subsections 7.3(a)
and (b), agrees to issue under the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment any
letter of credit (each, an "Operating Letter of Credit") requested to be issued
by it and so issued by it for the account of the Company on any Business Day
during the Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time
by such Issuing Lender; provided that such Issuing Lender shall have no
obligation to issue such Operating Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to
such issuance, (i) the Operating L/C Obligations would exceed $25,000,000 or
(ii) the Available Multi-Currency Commitment would be less than zero. Each
Operating Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) be either
(x) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, which are of a type for which
Revolving Credit Loans (if the obligations were then due and payable) or
Special Letters of Credit would be available (a "Standby Letter of Credit"), or
(y) a documentary letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods or
services by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
business (a "Commercial Letter of
64
Credit") and (iii) expire no later than one year from the date of issue;
provided that the Undrawn Operating L/C Obligations in respect of each
Operating Letter of Credit which expires after the last day of the Commitment
Period shall be Fully Secured from and after such day.
(b) Each Operating Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform
Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of
New York.
(c) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any
Operating Letter of Credit hereunder to the extent that such issuance would
conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any Operating L/C Participant to
exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
7.2 Procedure for Issuance of Operating Letters of Credit. The Company
may from time to time request that the Administrative Agent designate an
Issuing Lender with respect to any Operating Letter of Credit which the Company
seeks to have issued. In the event that the Administrative Agent is able to
designate an Issuing Lender with respect to such Operating Letter of Credit,
the Company shall request that such Issuing Lender issue an Operating 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 reasonably may request. Upon receipt of any
Application, such 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 Operating Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no
event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue any Operating 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) by issuing the original of such Operating Letter
of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such
Issuing Lender and the Company. Such Issuing Lender shall (i) in the case of
each Standby Letter of Credit, notify each Operating L/C Participant and the
Administrative Agent promptly following the request for and following the
issuance of the Standby Letter of Credit and furnish a copy of such Standby
Letter of Credit to the Company and to the Administrative Agent promptly
following the issuance thereof and (ii) in the case of Commercial Letters of
Credit, provide to each Operating L/C Participant and the Administrative Agent,
promptly following the end of each calendar month during which it has issued
Commercial Letters of Credit, a monthly activity report of the Commercial
Letters of Credit issued by it during such month.
7.3 Operating L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender with respect
to each Letter of Credit irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each
Operating L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters
of Credit hereunder, each Operating L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to
accept and purchase, and hereby accepts and purchases, from such Issuing
Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such Operating L/C
Participant's own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such
Operating L/C Participant's Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage in such
Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under each Operating Letter of Credit
issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid
65
by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each Operating L/C Participant
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with such Issuing Lender that, if a
draft is paid under any Operating Letter of Credit issued by it for which such
Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Company in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, such Operating L/C Participant shall pay to such
Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender's address for notices
specified herein an amount equal to such Operating L/C Participant's
Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part
thereof, which is not so reimbursed.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any Operating L/C Participant
to an Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 7.3(a) in respect of any
unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any
Operating Letter of Credit issued by it is paid to such Issuing Lender within
three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Operating L/C
Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the
product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal funds rate, as
quoted by such Issuing Lender, 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 such amount required to be paid by any Operating L/C
Participant pursuant to subsection 7.3(a) is not in fact made available to such
Issuing Lender by such Operating L/C Participant within three Business Days
after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Operating L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable
to Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate of the relevant Issuing
Lender submitted to any Operating L/C Participant with respect to any amounts
owing under this subsection 7.3(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment
under any Operating Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any
Operating L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with
subsection 7.3(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such
Operating Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Company or otherwise,
including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or
any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender promptly will
distribute to such Operating 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
Operating L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion
thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
subsection 7.3, the failure of any Operating L/C Participant to make any
payment due by it under this subsection 7.3 in a timely manner shall not
relieve any other Operating L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make
its own payment in a timely manner, but no Operating L/C Participant shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Operating L/C Participant to make any
payment pursuant to this subsection 7.3 owing by such other Operating L/C
Participant on any date.
66
7.4 Reimbursement Obligation of the Company. The Company agrees to
reimburse each Issuing Lender on each date on which such Issuing Lender
notifies the Company of the date and amount of a draft presented under any
Operating Letter of Credit issued 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. Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender at its
address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any
and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Company under this subsection 7.4 from
the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate which would be
payable on any outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans which were then overdue.
7.5 Obligations Absolute. The Company's obligations under this Section
7 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the
Company may have or have had against the relevant Issuing Lender, any
beneficiary of an Operating Letter of Credit, any Lender or any other Person.
The Company also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall
not be responsible for, and the Company's Operating L/C Reimbursement
Obligations under subsection 7.4 shall not be affected by, among other things,
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 Company and any beneficiary of any
Operating Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Operating Letter of
Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Company against any
beneficiary of such Operating 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 Operating Letter of Credit issued by it,
except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Lender's gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The Company agrees that any action taken or omitted by
any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Operating Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Lender or the related drafts or documents, if done in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with
the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
New York, shall be binding on the Company and shall not result in any liability
of such Issuing Lender to the Company.
7.6 Operating Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be
presented for payment under any Operating Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender
in respect of such Operating Letter of Credit shall promptly notify the Company
of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of such Issuing Lender to
the Company in connection with any draft presented for payment under any
Operating Letter of Credit issued by it shall, in addition to any payment
obligation expressly provided for in such Operating Letter of Credit, be
limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered
under such Operating Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are
in conformity with such Operating Letter of Credit.
67
7.7 Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application
related to any Operating Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions
of this Section 7, the provisions of this Section 7 shall apply.
7.8 Cash Collateral for Operating Letters of Credit. (a) (i) If the
Lenders holding the majority of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment shall
so request at any time and from time to time when an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or (ii) at any time and from time to time when the
Required Lenders so request, the Company shall promptly deposit in a cash
collateral account opened and maintained by the Administrative Agent (which
cash collateral account shall be separate from that which is opened and
maintained pursuant to subsection 4.8) the amount equal to the lesser of (x)
the sum of the aggregate amount of all Undrawn Operating L/C Obligations and
(y) the amount equal to the Benefited Multi-Currency Portion then in effect
(such lesser amount, the "Deposit Requirement"). The Company further agrees
that, from and after any such request for cash collateralization, the Company
will deposit from time to time into such cash collateral account any such
additional amounts as shall be necessary to cause the amount on deposit therein
to be not less than the amount of the Deposit Requirement then in effect.
(b) The Company hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Multi-Currency Lenders, as collateral security for the
payment in full of all Payment Obligations of the Company on account of the
Benefited Facilities, a security interest in all amounts from time to time held
in the cash collateral account maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) above.
Amounts held therein shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control
of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall at all times
have the exclusive right of withdrawal with respect thereto; provided that the
Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it shall withdraw amounts from such
cash collateral account only in accordance with the provisions of clauses (c)
and (d) below.
(c) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, the Administrative Agent may apply amounts held in the cash
collateral account maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) above to the payment of
the Payment Obligations on account of the Benefited Facilities in such order as
the Administrative Agent shall elect, with any amounts remaining on deposit
therein after giving effect to such application being returned to the Company.
(d) Without diminishing the sole dominion and control of the
Administrative Agent over amounts from time to time on deposit in the cash
collateral account maintained pursuant to clause (a) above, the Administrative
Agent shall from time to time (upon the request of the Company) promptly return
to the Company any amounts on deposit in such cash collateral account which are
in excess of the amount of the Deposit Requirement then in effect and, prior to
such return to the Company, the Administrative Agent shall not have any Lien on
or security interest in any such excess amounts.
7.9 Existing Operating Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Security Document, each of the
letters of credit
68
described on Schedule IX as an "Operating Letter of Credit" shall, from and
after the Closing Date, be deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection
7.1(a) of this Agreement, with the Multi-Currency Lender set forth in said
Schedule IX as the issuing bank for each such existing letter of credit being
deemed to be the Issuing Lender in respect of such Operating Letter of Credit
hereunder and with each other Multi-Currency Lender being deemed to be an
Operating L/C Participant with respect to such Operating Letter of Credit for
purposes of this Agreement and the Security Documents. The Company shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the relevant Issuing Lender and
Operating L/C Participants, the fees and commissions described in subsection
10.7 with respect to each such Operating Letter of Credit.
SECTION 8. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOCAL LOAN SUB-FACILITY
8.1 Local Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, each Local Fronting Lender severally agrees to make loans (and,
to the extent provided in subsection 8.9, to create Acceptances) under the
Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment in Dollars and in the Denomination Currency
set forth opposite its name on Schedule III to the Company and to the Local
Subsidiary for such Denomination Currency from time to time during the
Commitment Period (individually, a "Local Loan"; collectively, the "Local
Loans"); provided that, after giving effect to the making and the use of
proceeds thereof, the aggregate amount of the Local Outstandings of such Local
Fronting Lender shall not exceed the amount equal to its Currency Sublimit then
in effect. The Local Loans made by each Local Fronting Lender generally shall
be made by such Local Fronting Lender from a lending office which is located
within the jurisdiction of its respective Denomination Currency; provided that,
in the event that the Company or the relevant Local Subsidiary so requests and
the relevant Local Fronting Lender (in its sole discretion) so agrees, any
Local Loans to be made by such Local Fronting Lender may be made from a lending
office of such Local Fronting Lender which is not located in the jurisdiction
of its Denomination Currency. During the Commitment Period, the Local Borrowers
may use the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment by borrowing Local Loans and
Acceptances, repaying the Local Loans and Acceptances in whole or in part and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
8.2 Obligations of Local Borrowers. (a) Each Local Borrower hereby
agrees that each Local Loan made by each Local Fronting Lender to such Local
Borrower pursuant hereto shall constitute the promise and obligation of such
Local Borrower to pay to such Local Fronting Lender, at the office of such
Local Fronting Lender listed on Schedule III hereto (or, if such Local Fronting
Lender has notified such Local Borrower that a Local Loan was funded by a
different lending office of such Local Fronting Lender, the lending office from
which such Local Loan was funded), in lawful money of the Denomination Currency
(or, with respect to Local Loans which are Dollar Loans, in Dollars) and in
immediately available funds the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Local
Loans made by such Local Fronting Lender pursuant to subsection 8.1, which
amounts shall be due and payable (whether at maturity or by acceleration) as
set forth in this Agreement and, in any event, on the Termination Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Local Subsidiary
shall be obligated under any
69
Credit Document to pay any amounts owing by or on account of the Company or any
other Local Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.
(b) Each Local Borrower hereby agrees that each Local Fronting Lender
is authorized to record (i) the date, amount and currency of each Local Loan
made by such Local Fronting Lender to such Local Borrower pursuant to
subsection 8.1, (ii) the date of each interest rate conversion pursuant to
subsection 10.8 which is applicable to such Local Loan and the principal amount
subject thereto, (iii) the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of
principal of each Local Loan made by such Local Borrower to such Local Fronting
Lender and (iv) in the case of each Local Loan which bears interest at a rate
based upon the relevant Eurocurrency Rate or Eurodollar Rate or (if it is
customary in the relevant jurisdiction for Local Rate Loans to be subject to
Interest Periods) Local Loan Rate, the interest rate and Interest Period, in
the books and records of such Local Fronting Lender and in such manner as is
reasonable and customary for it and a certificate of an officer of such Local
Fronting Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the information so
recorded, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the
information so recorded; provided that the failure to make any such recording
shall not in any way affect the Payment Obligations of the relevant Local
Borrower hereunder.
8.3 Procedure for Borrowing Local Loans. Each Local Borrower may
request a borrowing of Local Loans under the Aggregate Multi-Currency
Commitment in Dollars or in the relevant Denomination Currency from the
applicable Local Fronting Lender during the Commitment Period on any Working
Day, if the Local Loans to be borrowed are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency
Loans, or on any Business Day, if the Local Loans to be borrowed are Alternate
Base Rate Loans or Local Rate Loans, by giving irrevocable notice to the
relevant Local Fronting Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
specifying (i) the aggregate principal amount of the relevant currency to be
borrowed, (ii) the requested borrowing date, (iii) whether the Local Loans to
be borrowed are to be Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans (in the
case of Dollar Loans) or Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate Loans (in the case of
other Local Loans) or (in either case) a combination thereof and, if a
combination, the respective aggregate amount of each type of borrowing and (iv)
if the Local Loans to be borrowed are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans or
(if it is customary in the relevant jurisdiction for Local Rate Loans to be
subject to Interest Periods) Local Rate Loans, the length of the Interest
Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto; provided that any Local Loans to
be made to the Company or a Local Subsidiary on the Closing Date shall be made
as Local Rate Loans. Any such notice of borrowing must be received by the
relevant Local Fronting Lender prior to 11:00 A.M., local time, three Working
Days prior to the requested borrowing date (or such shorter period prior
thereto as such Local Fronting Lender may agree) in the case of Eurodollar
Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, and on the requested borrowing date, in the case
of Alternate Base Rate or Local Rate Loans (with the presentation by any third
party of any check or draft drawn on the account of the relevant Local Borrower
or any other borrowing by way of overdraft being deemed to constitute a notice
of borrowing of Local Rate Loans in the amount of such check, draft or other
borrowing, to the extent that insufficient funds are then available for the
payment thereof in the account of such Local Borrower with the relevant Local
Fronting Lender); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, at any
time and from time to time in its
70
sole discretion, suspend the right of the Local Borrowers with respect to any
one or more Denomination Currencies to borrow Alternate Base Rate Loans or
Local Rate Loans on the basis of same-day notice by providing written notice of
such suspension to the Company and the affected Local Subsidiaries (with a copy
to the relevant Local Fronting Lender) not less than two Business Days prior to
the effectiveness thereof (or, during such time as any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, on the date of such effectiveness), in
which event any such notice of borrowing (other than any notice of borrowing
deemed to be made on account of a check, draft or other customary means of
borrowing by way of overdraft drawn by such Local Borrower prior to the date of
such notice of suspension) of Alternate Base Rate Loans or Local Rate Loans
must (until such notice of suspension has been revoked by the Administrative
Agent) be received by the Local Fronting Lender prior to 11:00 A.M., local
time, one Business Day prior to the requested borrowing date. In the event that
the relevant Local Fronting Lender determines on the requested borrowing date
that the making of such requested Local Loan will not cause the Local
Outstandings of such Local Fronting Lender to exceed the amount equal to its
Currency Sublimit then in effect (in each case, as has been notified to such
Local Fronting Lender by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection
8.8(b)), such Local Fronting Lender will make the requested Local Loan
available to the relevant Local Borrower, at the principal lending office of
such Local Fronting Lender in the relevant jurisdiction, by 1:00 P.M., local
time, on the requested borrowing date, in funds immediately available to such
Local Borrower. Promptly following the making of each such Local Loan, such
Local Fronting Lender shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of the
amount thereof. The minimum amount of each borrowing of Local Loans shall,
subject to subsection 10.8(h), be in an aggregate principal amount (not to
exceed the relevant Currency Sublimit) to be mutually agreed upon by the
relevant Local Fronting Lender and the relevant Local Borrower. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 8.3, no Local Fronting
Lender shall be obligated hereunder to advance any Local Loan by way of an
overdraft, but rather shall provide overdrafts only if it elects (in its sole
discretion) to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Local Loans (as
defined in the Existing Agreement) which are outstanding on the Closing Date
from a Local Fronting Lender hereunder shall be deemed to be "Local Loans" (as
defined herein) which are outstanding hereunder.
8.4 Currency Conversion and Contingent Funding Agreement. (a) Each
Multi-Currency Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to
purchase (in Dollars) an undivided participating interest in its ratable share
of such Local Loans and Acceptances made by such Local Fronting Lenders as the
Administrative Agent may at any time request; provided that:
(i) the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, it will not request any such
purchase of participating interests unless the Administrative Agent has
given to the Company and the relevant Local Subsidiary three Business Days'
prior notice thereof;
(ii) the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it promptly will
request that the Multi-Currency Lenders purchase such participating
interest in all Local Loans and Acceptances made by any Local Fronting
Lender which provides to the Administrative
71
Agent a written certification that an Event of Default described in Section
15(a) is continuing with respect to the Local Loans or Acceptances made by
such Local Fronting Lender and requesting that such request be made by the
Administrative Agent;
(iii) in the event that any of the events specified in clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii) of Section 15(m) shall have occurred with respect to any
Local Borrower, each Multi-Currency Lender shall be deemed to have
purchased, automatically and without request, such participating interest
in the Local Loans and Acceptances made to such Local Borrower; and
(iv) General Electric Capital Corporation's obligation to purchase
participating interests from the Local Fronting Lender for France shall be
subject to the provisions of clause (e) below.
Any such request by the Administrative Agent shall be made in writing to each
Multi-Currency Lender and shall specify the amount of Dollars (based upon the
actual exchange rate at which the Administrative Agent anticipates being able
to obtain the relevant Denomination Currency, with any excess payment being
refunded to the Multi-Currency Lenders and any deficiency remaining payable by
the Multi-Currency Lenders) required from such Multi-Currency Lender in order
to effect the purchase by such Multi-Currency Lender of a participating
interest in the amount equal to its Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage times
the aggregate then outstanding principal amount (in the Denomination Currency)
of the relevant Local Loans and Acceptances (together with accrued interest
thereon and other amounts owing in connection therewith) in such Denomination
Currency. Promptly upon receipt of such request, each Multi-Currency Lender
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (in immediately available funds) the
amount so specified by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
convert such amounts into the relevant Denomination Currency and shall promptly
deliver the proceeds of such conversion to the relevant Local Fronting Lender
in immediately available funds. Promptly following receipt thereof, such Local
Fronting Lender will deliver to each Multi-Currency Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Local Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of
receipt of such funds and in such amount. From and after such purchase, (i) the
outstanding Local Loans and Acceptances in which the Multi-Currency Lenders
have purchased such participations shall be deemed to have been converted into
Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (with such conversion
constituting, for purposes of subsection 10.12, a prepayment of such Local
Loans and Acceptances before the last day of the Interest Period with respect
thereto), (ii) any further Local Loans to be made to such Borrower shall be
made in Dollars, with each Multi-Currency Lender purchasing a participating
interest therein in the manner described in the foregoing provisions of this
subsection 8.4(a) immediately upon the making thereof in the amount equal to
such Multi-Currency Lender's Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage thereof (with
the Administrative Agent hereby agreeing to provide prompt notice to each such
Multi-Currency Lender of its receipt from the relevant Local Fronting Lender of
a notice of borrowing and of making the relevant Local Loan), (iii) no further
Acceptances shall be created for the account of such Borrower, (iv) all amounts
from time to time accruing, and all amounts from time to time payable, on
account of such Local Loans and Acceptances (including, without limitation, any
interest and other amounts which were accrued
72
but unpaid on the date of such purchase) shall be payable in Dollars as if such
Local Loan or Acceptance, as the case may be, had originally been made in
Dollars and shall (other than with respect to the portion of the Applicable
Margin which, pursuant to subsection 8.6, is expressly stated to be paid for
the account of the Local Fronting Lender) be distributed by the relevant Local
Fronting Lender to the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the
Multi-Currency Lenders, on account of such participating interests.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 8.4, the
failure of any Multi-Currency Lender to purchase its participating interest in
any Local Loan or Acceptance shall not relieve any other Multi-Currency Lender
of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interest in a timely
manner, but no Multi-Currency Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Multi-Currency Lender to purchase the participating interest to be
purchased by such other Multi-Currency Lender on any date.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any Multi-Currency Lender
pursuant to subsection 8.4(a) is paid to the Administrative Agent within three
Business Days following the date upon which such Multi-Currency Lender receives
notice from the Administrative Agent that the Local Loan or Acceptance in which
such Multi-Currency Lender has purchased a participating interest has been made
or created (as the case may be), such Multi-Currency Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such
amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted by the
Administrative Agent, during the period from and including the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the Administrative Agent, 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 such amount required to be paid by any Multi-Currency Lender
pursuant to subsection 8.4(a) is not in fact made available to the
Administrative Agent within three Business Days following the date upon which
such Multi-Currency Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent that
the Local Loan or Acceptance in which such Multi-Currency Lender has purchased
a participating interest has been made or created (as the case may be), the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such Multi-Currency
Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due
date at the rate per annum applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Multi-Currency Lender
with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 8.4(b) shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Amounts payable by any
Multi-Currency Lender pursuant to this subsection 8.4(b) shall be paid to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Local Fronting Lender;
provided that, if the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) has elected
to fund on behalf of such Multi-Currency Lender the amounts owing to such Local
Fronting Lender, then the amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent,
for its own account.
(c) Whenever, at any time after the relevant Local Fronting Lender has
received from any Multi-Currency Lender such Multi-Currency Lender's
participating interest in a Local Loan or Acceptance pursuant to clause (b)
above, the Local Fronting Lender receives any payment on account thereof, such
Local Fronting Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of such Multi-Currency Lender, such Multi-Currency Lender's
participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of
interest payments, to
73
reflect the period of time during which such Multi-Currency Lender's
participating interest was outstanding) in like funds as received; provided,
however, that in the event that such payment received by such Local Fronting
Lender is required to be returned, such Multi-Currency Lender will return to
such Local Fronting Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by such
Local Fronting Lender to such Multi-Currency Lender in like funds as such
payment is required to be returned by such Local Fronting Lender.
(d) Each Multi-Currency Lender's obligation to purchase participating
interests pursuant to clause (a) above shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (a)
any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such
Multi-Currency Lender may have against the relevant Local Fronting Lender, the
relevant Local Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the
occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of the relevant Local Borrower or any other
Person; (d) any breach of this Agreement by the relevant Local Borrower, any
other Local Borrower or any other Lender; or (e) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided that no Multi-Currency Lender shall be obligated to purchase
participating interests in any Local Loans made by a Local Fronting Lender to
the extent that such Local Loans (at the time when made) caused the amount of
Local Loans outstanding from such Local Fronting Lender to be in excess of the
Currency Sublimit then in effect with respect to such Local Fronting Lender.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in herein,
General Electric Capital Corporation ("GE Capital") shall have no obligation,
and shall not, purchase participating interests pursuant to this subsection 8.4
from the Local Fronting Lender for France and such participating interests as
otherwise would have been purchased by GE Capital (the "GE Share") shall
instead be purchased from such Local Fronting Lender by Citibank. In connection
with such obligation to purchase the GE Share, Citibank shall have all rights
which otherwise would be attributable to GE Capital hereunder with respect to
the GE Share (including, without limitation, the right to receive interest and
other amounts accruing on account thereof); provided, however, that, for
purposes of voting under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, GE
Capital shall be deemed to hold the GE Share and shall be entitled to exercise
voting rights on account thereof.
8.5 Designation of Additional Denomination Currencies. (a) The Company
may from time to time request that any one or more additional freely available
currencies which are freely transferable and freely convertible into Dollars be
designated as "Denomination Currencies" hereunder by providing written notice
to the Administrative Agent specifying (i) the relevant Local Subsidiary for
such currency (which need not be an existing Local Subsidiary), (ii) the
requested amount of the Currency Sublimit for such Denomination Currency and
(iii) specifying the Multi-Currency Lender who has agreed to serve as Local
Fronting Lender with respect thereto and the Maximum Sublimit to be inserted in
Schedule III for such Local Fronting Lender; provided that in no event shall
the sum of all Currency Sublimits (after giving effect to the requested
designation of an additional Denomination Currency and any concurrent
reallocation of the Currency Sublimits pursuant to subsection 8.6) exceed the
Aggregate Multi-
74
Currency Commitment then in effect. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
forward to each Multi-Currency Lender a copy of any such notice. Within ten
Business Days following the receipt of such notice, each Multi-Currency Lender
shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing whether such designation is
acceptable to such Multi-Currency Lender (in its sole discretion) and the
Administrative Agent promptly shall notify the Company thereof.
(b) In the event that such designation is acceptable to the Lenders
holding the majority of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment, the Company
shall cause the requested Local Subsidiary to deliver to the Administrative
Agent (i) a Borrowing Subsidiary Joinder Agreement, (ii) such of the Security
Documents contemplated by subsections 13.10, 13.11 and 13.12 and/or such other
documents, instruments, agreements and legal opinions as the Agents reasonably
may request (including, in any event, an opinion of local counsel in the
relevant jurisdiction to the effect that no Multi-Currency Lender, other than
the relevant Local Fronting Lender, shall be deemed to be doing business in the
relevant jurisdiction, or otherwise shall be subject to regulation or taxation
therein, solely as a result of the agreements set forth herein; with such legal
opinions to be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Multi-Currency Lenders holding at least a majority of the Aggregate
Multi-Currency Commitment (including, in any event, General Electric Capital
Corporation so long as it is a Multi-Currency Lender, but other than any
Non-Funding Lenders)) and (iii) a Local Fronting Lender Joinder Agreement from
the Multi-Currency Lender who has agreed to serve as Local Fronting Lender.
(c) From and after the date upon which the Administrative Agent has
received the documents (all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agents) described in subsection 8.5(b), Schedule III hereto
shall be deemed to be amended to reflect (i) the designation of such currency
as a Denomination Currency, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Currency Sublimit
and Maximum Sublimit with respect thereto and (iii) the name and applicable
local lending office of the relevant Local Fronting Lender with respect thereto
and (iv) the name of the relevant Local Subsidiary.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the
Multi-Currency Lenders of the effectiveness of such designation and shall
deliver to each Multi-Currency Lender and the Company a revised version of
Schedule III which reflects such amendment.
8.6 Re-Allocation of Currency Sublimits. (a) The Company (on its own
behalf and as agent of the Local Subsidiaries) may from time to time (but,
unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree, not more frequently than
one time per calendar month) request that the amount of any one or more
Currency Sublimits be increased and/or the amount of any one or more Currency
Sublimits be decreased by delivering a written request for such re-allocation
to the Administrative Agent. Each such request shall specify the amount (in
Dollars) of the increase or decrease, as the case may be, applicable to each
affected Currency Sublimit. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each
affected Local Fronting Lender a copy of such request promptly following
receipt thereof.
(b) Unless the revised Currency Sublimit of any Local Fronting Lender
will, after giving effect to the requested re-allocation of Currency Sublimits,
be in excess of the Maximum
75
Sublimit then in effect for such Local Fronting Lender, then the Currency
Sublimits shall be deemed to be so re-allocated and Schedule III shall be
deemed to be amended to reflect such reallocation; provided that (i) no Local
Fronting Lender shall be required to lend more than its Currency Sublimit (as
in effect prior to the effectiveness of such re-allocation) until such Local
Fronting Lender has received notice from the Administrative Agent of the
effectiveness of such re-allocation (which notice the Administrative Agent
agrees to deliver promptly upon such effectiveness) and (ii) after giving
effect to such re-allocation, the Aggregate Outstanding Multi-Currency
Extensions of Credit will not exceed the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment
then in effect. Promptly following the effectiveness of such re-allocation, the
Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Multi-Currency Lender and the
Company a revised Schedule III which reflects such amendment.
(c) In the event that the revised Currency Sublimit of any Local
Fronting Lender will (after giving effect to the requested re-allocation of
Currency Sublimits) be in excess of the Maximum Sublimit specified for such
Local Fronting Lender on Schedule III, then such Local Fronting Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall have ten Business Days to determine whether (in
their sole discretion) to approve such increase. In the event that such Local
Fronting Lender and the Administrative Agent approve such increase (which
approval shall be delivered in writing to the Company and, in the case of the
approval of such Local Fronting Lender, to the Administrative Agent) then the
Currency Sublimit and the Maximum Sublimit of such Local Fronting Lender shall
be re-allocated to such higher amounts requested for such Local Fronting Lender
in the request delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection
8.6(a). In the event that such Local Fronting Lender and the Administrative
Agent do not approve such increase in accordance with the foregoing terms of
this subsection 8.6(c), then the Currency Sublimit of such Local Fronting
Lender shall be increased only to its existing Maximum Sublimit on the date
upon which either such Local Fronting Lender or the Administrative Agent
notifies the Company that such increase has not been approved (or, if no such
notice is given, at the end of such ten day approval period). Promptly
following the effectiveness of any such reallocation, the Administrative Agent
shall deliver to each Multi-Currency Lender and the Company a revised Schedule
III which reflects such amendment. The Company or the relevant Local Subsidiary
shall pay any stamp, recording or other similar tax payable under the laws of
the local jurisdiction which is required as a result of any such increase in
the Maximum Sublimit of its relevant Local Fronting Lender.
(d) In connection with any re-allocation made in accordance with this
subsection 8.6, the Company may designate that the Currency Sublimit applicable
to any Local Fronting Lender is to be reduced to zero and that the relevant
Local Subsidiary is to cease to be a "Local Subsidiary" hereunder. From and
after any such designation, such Local Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrower
hereunder, such Local Fronting Lender shall cease to be the "Local Fronting
Lender" for the relevant Denomination Currency and (except to the extent that
the provisions of subsection 8.5 subsequently are complied with) no further
Local Loans or Acceptances shall be made to any Borrower in such Denomination
Currency.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such
reallocation shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate
Outstanding Multi-
76
Currency Extensions of Credit will exceed the Aggregate Multi-Currency
Commitment then in effect.
8.7 Resignation or Removal of a Local Fronting Lender. (a) In the
event that the Multi-Currency Commitment of a Local Fronting Lender shall at
any time terminate (otherwise than on termination of the Aggregate Commitment)
or a Local Fronting Lender shall assign all of its Multi-Currency Commitment in
accordance with the provisions of subsection 17.7(c) or a Local Fronting Lender
shall otherwise so elect, such Local Fronting Lender shall resign as Local
Fronting Lender by giving written notice of its resignation to the Company, the
relevant Local Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent, with such resignation
becoming effective on the date which is the earlier of (i) the date upon which
a Multi-Currency Lender reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
the Company (on its own behalf and as agent for the relevant Local Subsidiary)
is designated as a substitute Local Fronting Lender in accordance with the
provisions of subsection 8.7(c) and (ii) such other date upon which such Local
Fronting Lender, the Company and the relevant Local Subsidiary otherwise agree;
provided that such effective date shall in no event be later than the date
which is 30 days following the date upon which such written notice is delivered
to the Company. Any Local Loans and Acceptances made by such Local Fronting
Lender which are outstanding on such termination date shall be due and payable
on such termination date.
(b) The Company (on its own behalf and as agent for the relevant Local
Subsidiary) at any time may request that any Local Fronting Lender cease to be
designated as such by giving written notice of such request to the
Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent promptly shall
deliver to such Local Fronting Lender and to each Multi-Currency Lender).
Immediately upon receipt of such request, such Local Fronting Lender shall
cease to make any additional Local Loans and cease to create any additional
Acceptances, and all Local Loans and Acceptances then maintained by such Local
Fronting Lender shall be due and payable on the date requested by the Company
(which date shall be not earlier than (i) the earlier of (A) 30 days following
delivery of such notice, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, Local Rate
Loans and Acceptances and (B) the last day of the Interest Period then in
effect with respect thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans or Eurodollar
Loans, as the case may be, and (ii) such other date upon which such Local
Fronting Lender, the Company and the relevant Local Subsidiary otherwise
agree). From and after the date upon which all such Local Loans and Acceptances
are repaid (together with accrued interest and other amounts owing to such
Local Fronting Lender on account thereof), such Local Fronting Lender shall
cease to be a "Local Fronting Lender" with respect to such Denomination
Currency.
(c) In the event that the Local Fronting Lender with respect to any
Denomination Currency shall cease to serve as such pursuant to subsection
8.7(a) or (b), the Company (on its own behalf and as agent of the relevant
Local Subsidiary) may designate another Multi-Currency Lender reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent to serve as "Local Fronting Lender" with
respect to such Denomination Currency; provided that no Multi-Currency Lender
shall be so designated without its agreement (in its sole discretion) to serve
as the "Local Fronting Lender" with respect to such Denomination Currency
hereunder. Upon any such designation and the receipt by the Administrative
Agent of a Local Fronting Lender Joinder Agreement, duly
77
executed and delivered by such designated Local Fronting Lender, such
Multi-Currency Lender shall be deemed to be the "Local Fronting Lender" with
respect to such Denomination Currency for all purposes under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents.
(d) During any period when no substitute Local Fronting Lender has
been duly appointed in accordance with the terms of subsection 8.7(c), the
right of the Borrowers to borrow in such Denomination Currency shall be
suspended.
8.8 Reports. (a) Each Local Fronting Lender shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent on the first Business Day of each calendar week and on the
first Business Day of each calendar month (and at any time and from time to
time when the Administrative Agent may so request) a statement, substantially
in the form of Exhibit S-1, showing (i) the aggregate principal amount of Local
Loans in the relevant Denomination Currency outstanding from such Local
Fronting Lender as of the close of business on each Business Day during the
prior week (or portion thereof), (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Local
Loans in Dollars outstanding from such Local Fronting Lender as of the close of
business on each Business Day during the prior week (or portion thereof), (iii)
the aggregate undiscounted face amount of Acceptances outstanding from such
Local Fronting Lender as of the close of business on each Business Day during
the prior week (or portion thereof) and (iv) such other matters as are
contained therein. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to deliver a copy of
each such statement to the Company promptly following its receipt thereof and
of any such statement to any Multi-Currency Lender promptly upon its request
therefor.
(b) Promptly following any change in the Currency Sublimit in effect
for any Local Fronting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such
Local Fronting Lender a statement indicating the new Currency Sublimit in
effect for such Local Fronting Lender.
8.9 Bankers' Acceptances. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Local Fronting Lender may agree (in its sole discretion
from time to time) to create bankers' acceptances under its Currency Sublimit
by way of the acceptance and discount of Drafts (the "Acceptances") pursuant to
this subsection 8.9; provided that no Local Fronting Lender shall have any
obligation to create and/or discount Acceptances, regardless of any prior
practice of doing so for the account of such Local Subsidiary. Any Acceptances
created pursuant to this subsection 8.9 shall be denominated in the
Denomination Currency for the relevant Local Fronting Lender (and not in
Dollars), and shall be for such tenor and in such amount as may be mutually
agreed upon by the relevant Fronting Lender and Local Subsidiary; provided that
in no event shall any Acceptance mature after the date which is 30 days prior
to the Termination Date.
(b) Unless the relevant Local Subsidiary and Local Fronting Lender
otherwise agree, the relevant Local Subsidiary shall give to the relevant Local
Fronting Lender not less than two Business Days' prior written notice of its
intent to borrow by way of Acceptances from any Local Fronting Lender which has
agreed to accept and discount Drafts for the account of such Local Subsidiary,
which notice shall be accompanied by (i) a Draft which has been completed,
executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of such Local Subsidiary
and (ii) such other documents, instruments and certificates as such Local
Fronting Lender reasonably may request;
78
provided that, after giving effect to the creation of such Acceptance, the
Local Outstandings owing to such Local Fronting Lender shall not exceed the
amount equal to its Currency Sublimit then in effect. On the requested
borrowing date, the relevant Fronting Lender will accept such Draft and
discount such accepted Draft in accordance with the provisions of subsection
8.9(c).
(c) Any Local Fronting Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to
discount Drafts of the relevant Local Subsidiary on the date upon which such
Local Fronting Lender accepts such Drafts by discounting such Draft at the rate
per annum equal to the Local Rate (which may be a different rate than the Local
Rate then payable on account of Local Loans in such Denomination Currency) then
in effect plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Local Rate Loans;
provided that, unless the relevant Local Fronting Lender and Local Subsidiary
otherwise agree, such discount shall be calculated by, first, discounting the
aggregate face amount of such Draft at the rate per annum equal to the Local
Rate then in effect and, second, discounting the result thereof at the rate per
annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Local Rate Loans.
Promptly following such discounting (and, in any event, on the date thereof),
such Local Fronting Lender shall make available to such Local Subsidiary the
amount equal to the discounted face amount of such Draft in the manner in which
such Local Fronting Lender makes available Local Loans pursuant to subsection
8.3(b).
(d) Each Local Subsidiary hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the
relevant Local Fronting Lender the aggregate, undiscounted face amount of each
Draft accepted by such Local Fronting Lender hereunder on the maturity date
thereof (or on such earlier date upon which the obligations of such Local
Subsidiary under this Agreement shall become or shall have been declared due
and payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement). Interest
shall accrue on any amount owing pursuant to this subsection 8.9(d) which is
not paid when due (whether by scheduled maturity, mandatory prepayment,
acceleration or otherwise) from the date such amount becomes due until paid in
full at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the rate which would then be
payable on any overdue Local Rate Loans and shall be payable by such Local
Subsidiary upon demand by such Local Fronting Lender.
(e) Each Multi-Currency Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
agrees to purchase undivided participating interests in the Acceptances created
by each Local Fronting Lender in accordance with the provisions of subsection
8.4.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indefeasible prepayment by the relevant Local Subsidiary to the relevant Local
Fronting Lender of all or a portion of any outstanding Acceptance shall be
deemed to constitute a prepayment of such portion of such Acceptance for all
purposes hereunder, regardless of whether the relevant Local Fronting Lender
has distributed such amount to the holder of the underlying Draft.
8.10 Use of Proceeds of Local Loans and Acceptances. The proceeds of
the Local Loans and Acceptances hereunder shall be used by the relevant
Borrower for the purpose of refinancing certain outstanding Indebtedness of
such Borrower and its Subsidiaries under the Existing Agreement, repurchasing
or redeeming the Sinking Fund Debentures and for general corporate purposes of
such Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than to finance Investments).
79
8.11 Existing Local Loans and Acceptances. Each Local Fronting Lender
party hereto which also is a Fronting Lender under (and as defined in) the
Existing Agreement hereby acknowledges that the identity of the Lenders who
have agreed to purchase participating interests in any Local Loans and
Acceptances made by such Local Fronting Lender under the Existing Agreement
which are outstanding on the Closing Date (and the ratable interest of such
Lenders in such Local Loans) will be modified on the Closing Date. Each Local
Fronting Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing
Date, it shall be entitled to seek the purchase of participating interests
pursuant to subsection 8.4 only from the Multi-Currency Lenders hereunder and
only in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of the
Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment, with any Lender who has agreed to purchase
a participating interest in such Local Loans and Acceptances pursuant to the
Existing Agreement being hereby released from such obligation to the extent
that it does not hold a Multi-Currency Commitment hereunder.

of the
81
information so recorded; provided that the failure to make any such recording
shall not in any way affect the Payment Obligations of any Acquisition Borrower
hereunder.
9.3 Procedure for Borrowing Syndicated Acquisition Loans. (a) The
Company may from time to time request a borrowing of Syndicated Acquisition
Loans which are denominated entirely in Dollars and/or in Scheduled Acquisition
Currencies by giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying
(i) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed (which amount shall be
denominated in Dollars), (ii) the requested borrowing date, which borrowing
date shall be a Working Day, if the Syndicated Acquisition Loans to be borrowed
are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, or a Business Day, if the
Syndicated Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are Alternate Base Rate Loans,
(iii) whether the Syndicated Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are to be
denominated in Dollars, Scheduled Acquisition Currencies or a combination
thereof and, if a combination, the respective aggregate amount of each type of
borrowing, (iv) whether the Syndicated Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are to
be Eurocurrency Loans, Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a
combination thereof and, if a combination, the respective aggregate amount of
each type of borrowing and (v) if the Syndicated Acquisition Loans to be
borrowed are Eurocurrency Loans or Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest
Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto. Any such notice of borrowing
must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, four Working Days prior to the requested borrowing date (unless such
requested Syndicated Acquisition Loans are to be denominated solely in Dollars,
in which event such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior
to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, (x) one Business Day prior to the requested
borrowing date, if such Syndicated Acquisition Loans are to be comprised
entirely of Alternate Base Rate Loans and (y) three Business Days prior the
requested borrowing date, otherwise). Upon receipt of any such notice, the
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Acquisition Direct Lender
thereof.
(b) (i) The Company may from time to time request a borrowing of
Syndicated Acquisition Loans which are denominated, in whole or in part, in a
Special Acquisition Currency by giving notice to the Administrative Agent,
specifying (A) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed (which amount
shall be denominated in Dollars) and the Special Acquisition Currencies in
which such amount is to be borrowed, (B) the requested borrowing date, which
borrowing date shall be a Working Day, (C) whether the Syndicated Acquisition
Loans to be borrowed are to be denominated in Dollars, Scheduled Acquisition
Currencies, Special Acquisition Currencies or a combination thereof and, if a
combination, the respective aggregate amount of each type of borrowing, (D)
whether the Syndicated Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are to be Eurocurrency
Loans, Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof
and, if a combination, the respective aggregate amount of each type of
borrowing and (E) if the Syndicated Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are
Eurocurrency Loans or Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest Period or
Interest Periods applicable thereto. Any such notice of borrowing must be
received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time,
not less than 15 Working Days prior to the requested borrowing date.
(ii) Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Acquisition Direct Lender thereof and each Acquisition
Direct Lender shall (prior to 11:00 A.M.,
82
New York City time, on the fifth Working Day prior to the requested borrowing
date) notify the Administrative Agent if it has any objection to providing such
Special Acquisition Currency (which objection shall be based solely upon the
good faith determination by such Acquisition Direct Lender that such proposed
Special Acquisition Currency is not readily available to such Lender in
accordance with its customary funding operations for loans which are
denominated in currencies other than Dollars). On the third Working Day prior
to the requested borrowing date (the "determination date"), the Administrative
Agent shall give written notice (the "determination notice") to the Company and
to each Acquisition Direct Lender specifying:
(A) in the event that each Acquisition Direct Lender has agreed
to provide such Special Acquisition Currency (or, in the event that
any Acquisition Direct Lender does not so agree, but one or more other
Acquisition Direct Lenders has agreed to purchase Direct Acquisition
Participations in the full amount of such Acquisition Direct Lender's
ratable share of the proposed Syndicated Acquisition Loan, in which
event the Direct Acquisition Lender who does not so agree shall be
obligated to sell such Direct Acquisition Participations), that such
Syndicated Acquisition Loan is to be made; or
(B) otherwise, that such Syndicated Acquisition Loan is not to be
made.
(iii) In the event that the Administrative Agent specifies in the
determination notice that such Syndicated Acquisition Loan is to be made, such
Syndicated Acquisition Loan shall be made on the date specified in such notice
of borrowing; provided that the Company may, at any time on or prior to the
fourth Working Day prior to the requested borrowing date (as such borrowing
date may be postponed from time to time pursuant to clause (B) below), either
(A) withdraw such borrowing request or (B) postpone the requested borrowing
date to a specified date which is not more than 90 days following the
originally requested borrowing date. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt
notice to the Acquisition Direct Lenders of any such withdrawal or postponement
notice received from the Company and, in the event that any such postponement
notice is given and the new requested borrowing date is more than 45 days
following the date requested by the Company in its original notice of
borrowing, each Acquisition Direct Lender shall be entitled to withdraw its
agreement to provide the relevant Special Acquisition Currency (which
withdrawal shall be based solely upon the good faith determination by such
Acquisition Direct Lender that such proposed Special Acquisition Currency has
ceased to be readily available to such Lender in accordance with its customary
funding operations for loans which are denominated in currencies other than
Dollars) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent not less than
five Working Days prior to the requested borrowing date. Unless the borrowing
request has been withdrawn or postponed, or any Acquisition Direct Lender has
withdrawn its agreement to provide the relevant Special Acquisition Currency
(and other Acquisition Direct Lenders have not agreed to purchase Direct
Acquisition Participations in the full amount of such Acquisition Direct
Lender's ratable share of the proposed Syndicated Acquisition Loan), as set
forth above on or prior to the fourth Working Day prior to such requested
borrowing date, such borrowing request shall become irrevocable on the third
Working Day prior to such requested borrowing date.
83
(iv) In the event that the Administrative Agent specifies in the
determination notice that such Syndicated Acquisition Loan is not to be made,
the Company's borrowing request shall be deemed to be withdrawn.
(c) (i) The Company (on behalf of any of its wholly-owned Foreign
Subsidiaries) may from time to time request a borrowing by such wholly-owned
Foreign Subsidiary of Syndicated Acquisition Loans which are denominated, in
whole or in part, in Dollars or an Approved Acquisition Currency by giving
notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying (A) the name and jurisdiction of
organization of such wholly-owned Foreign Subsidiary, (B) the jurisdiction in
which such proposed Acquisition Subsidiary intends to borrow, (C) the aggregate
principal amount to be borrowed (which amount shall be denominated in Dollars)
and the Approved Acquisition Currencies (if any) in which such amount is to be
borrowed, (D) the requested borrowing date, which borrowing date shall be a
Working Day (unless such Syndicated Acquisition Loans are to be made entirely
as Alternate Base Rate Loans, in which case such borrowing date shall be a
Business Day), (E) whether the Syndicated Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are
to be denominated in Dollars, Scheduled Acquisition Currencies, Special
Acquisition Currencies or a combination thereof and, if a combination, the
respective aggregate amount of each type of borrowing, (F) whether the
Syndicated Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are to be Eurocurrency Loans,
Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof and, if
a combination, the respective aggregate amount of each type of borrowing and
(G) if the Syndicated Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are Eurocurrency Loans
or Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest Period or Interest Periods
applicable thereto. Any such notice of borrowing must be received by the
Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, not less than 10
Working Days (or, in the event that the requested currencies include one or
more Special Acquisition Currencies, not less than 15 Working Days) prior to
the requested borrowing date.
(ii) Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Acquisition Direct Lender thereof and each Acquisition
Direct Lender shall (prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the fifth
Working Day prior to the requested borrowing date) notify the Administrative
Agent if it has any objection to providing such proposed Special Acquisition
Currency (which objection shall be based solely upon the good faith
determination by such Acquisition Direct Lender that such proposed Special
Acquisition Currency is not readily available to such Lender in accordance with
its customary funding operations for loans which are denominated in currencies
other than Dollars) or to making Syndicated Acquisition Loans to such proposed
Acquisition Subsidiary (with such Acquisition Direct Lenders approval of such
proposed Acquisition Subsidiary not to be unreasonably withheld). On the third
Working Day prior to the requested borrowing date (the "determination date"),
the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (the "determination notice")
to the Company and to each Acquisition Direct Lender specifying:
(x) in the event that each Acquisition Direct Lender has agreed
to provide such proposed Special Acquisition Currency or to make
Syndicated Acquisition Loans to such proposed Acquisition Subsidiary
(or, in the event that any Acquisition Direct Lender does not so
agree, but one or more other Acquisition Direct Lenders has agreed to
purchase
84
Direct Acquisition Participations in the full amount of such
Acquisition Direct Lender's ratable share of the proposed Syndicated
Acquisition Loan, in which event the Direct Acquisition Lender who
does not so agree shall be obligated to sell such Direct Acquisition
Participations), that such Syndicated Acquisition Loan is to be made;
or
(y) otherwise, that such Syndicated Acquisition Loan is not to be
made.
(iii) In the event that the Administrative Agent specifies in the
determination notice that such Syndicated Acquisition Loan is to be made, such
Syndicated Acquisition Loan shall be made on the date specified in such notice
of borrowing; provided that the Company (on behalf of the relevant wholly-owned
Foreign Subsidiary) may, at any time on or prior to the fourth Working Day
prior to the requested borrowing date (as such borrowing date may be postponed
from time to time pursuant to clause (B) below), either (A) withdraw such
borrowing request or (B) postpone the requested borrowing date to a specified
date which is not more than 90 days following the originally requested
borrowing date. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the
Acquisition Direct Lenders of any such withdrawal or postponement notice
received from the Company and, in the event that any such postponement notice
is given and the new requested borrowing date is more than 45 days following
the date requested by the Company in its original notice of borrowing, each
Acquisition Direct Lender shall be entitled to withdraw its agreement to
provide any relevant Special Acquisition Currency (which withdrawal shall be
based solely upon the good faith determination by such Acquisition Direct
Lender that such proposed Special Acquisition Currency has ceased to be readily
available to such Lender in accordance with its customary funding operations
for loans which are denominated in currencies other than Dollars) or to make
Syndicated Acquisition Loans to any relevant proposed Acquisition Subsidiary
(with the maintenance by each Acquisition Direct Lender of its approval of such
proposed Acquisition Subsidiary not to be unreasonably withdrawn) by providing
written notice to the Administrative Agent not less than five Working Days
prior to the requested borrowing date. Unless the borrowing request has been
withdrawn or postponed, or any Acquisition Direct Lender has withdrawn its
agreement to provide the relevant Special Acquisition Currency or to make
Syndicated Acquisition Loans to such proposed Acquisition Subsidiary (and other
Acquisition Direct Lenders have not agreed to purchase Direct Acquisition
Participations in the full amount of such Acquisition Direct Lender's ratable
share of the proposed Syndicated Acquisition Loan), as set forth above on or
prior to the fourth Working Day prior to such requested borrowing date, such
borrowing request shall become irrevocable on the third Working Day prior to
such requested borrowing date.
(iv) In the event that the Administrative Agent specifies in the
determination notice that such Syndicated Acquisition Loan is not to be made,
the Company's borrowing request shall be deemed to be withdrawn.
(d) In the event that the requested Syndicated Acquisition Loans
are to be made on the requested borrowing date, each Acquisition Direct Lender
will make available to the Administrative Agent at the office of the
Administrative Agent specified in subsection 17.3 (or at such other location as
the Administrative Agent may direct), by 1:00 P.M., local time in the relevant
jurisdiction in which such funds are to be made available to the Administrative
Agent,
85
on the requested borrowing date, an amount in the requested currency equal to
the Acquisition Commitment Percentage of such Acquisition Direct Lender times
the aggregate principal amount of the Syndicated Acquisition Loans requested to
be borrowed, in Dollars or the relevant Approved Acquisition Currency (as the
case may be) and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.
Syndicated Acquisition Loan proceeds received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall promptly be made available to relevant Acquisition Borrower by
the Administrative Agent's crediting the account of such Acquisition Borrower
designated to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate amount actually
received by the Administrative Agent from the Acquisition Direct Lenders and in
like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
(e) Each borrowing of Syndicated Acquisition Loans under the
Acquisition Loan Commitments shall, subject to subsection 10.8(h) and except in
the case of Acquisition Loans made in response to an Acquisition Loan
Conversion Notice and Acquisition Loans made pursuant to subsection 5.5 to
refund any Refunded Revolving Credit Loans, be in an aggregate principal amount
equal to (x) $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
(in the case of Eurocurrency Loans and Eurodollar Loans) or (y) the lesser of
$5,000,000 (or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) or the
Available Acquisition Loan Commitment (in the case of Alternate Base Rate
Loans); provided that amounts denominated in an Approved Acquisition Currency
shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Equivalent in such
Approved Acquisition Currency of the amounts set forth above, as rounded
upwards to the nearest 100,000 units (e.g., DM100,000, (pound)100,000 or
(Y)100,000) of the relevant Approved Acquisition Currency.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
subsection 9.3, GE Capital shall not have any right to approve any Special
Acquisition Currencies (which right shall instead be vested in Citibank with
respect to GE Capital's Acquisition Loan Commitment Percentage of any requested
borrowing thereof) and shall have no obligation to, and shall not, fund any
Syndicated Acquisition Loans which are denominated in Approved Acquisition
Currencies. Any portion of a borrowing of Syndicated Acquisition Loans (other
than, except with the consent of Citibank, any such portion which is
attributable to the increased portion of the Aggregate Acquisition Loan
Commitment pursuant to subsection 9.7) which is made in an Approved Acquisition
Currency which would, in the absence of the provisions of this clause (f), have
been funded by GE Capital (the "GE Portion") shall instead be funded by
Citibank. In connection with such obligation to fund the GE Portion, Citibank
shall have all rights which otherwise would be attributable to GE Capital
hereunder with respect to the GE Portion (including, without limitation, the
right to receive interest and other amounts accruing on account thereof);
provided, however, that, for purposes of voting under this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents, GE Capital shall be deemed to hold the GE Portion and
shall be entitled to exercise voting rights on account thereof.
(g) The failure of any Acquisition Direct Lender to make the
Syndicated Acquisition Loan to be made by it on any requested borrowing date
shall not relieve any other Acquisition Direct Lender of its obligation
hereunder to make its Syndicated Acquisition Loan on such borrowing date, but
no Acquisition Direct Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
86
any other Acquisition Direct Lender to make the Syndicated Acquisition Loan to
be made by such other Acquisition Direct Lender on such borrowing date.
9.4 Procedure for Borrowing Fronted Acquisition Loans. (a) The Company
may from time to time request a borrowing of Fronted Acquisition Loans by
giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying (i) the
aggregate principal amount to be borrowed (which amount shall be denominated in
Dollars), (ii) the requested borrowing date, which borrowing date shall be a
Working Day, if the Fronted Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are Eurodollar
Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, or a Business Day, if the Fronted Acquisition
Loans to be borrowed are Alternate Base Rate Loans, (iii) whether the Fronted
Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are to be denominated in Dollars, Scheduled
Acquisition Currencies, Special Acquisition Currencies or a combination thereof
and, if a combination, the respective aggregate amount of each type of
borrowing, (iv) whether the Fronted Acquisition Loans to be borrowed are to be
Eurocurrency Loans, Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a
combination thereof and, if a combination, the respective aggregate amount of
each type of borrowing and (v) if the Fronted Acquisition Loans to be borrowed
are Eurocurrency Loans or Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest Period
or Interest Periods applicable thereto. Such notice of borrowing also shall
identify the relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender and the relevant Acquisition
Borrower with respect thereto and provide any relevant wire transfer
instructions and other funding information with respect thereto. Any such
notice of borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00
A.M., New York City time, four Working Days prior to the requested borrowing
date, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans and Eurodollar Loans, and two Business
Days prior to the requested borrowing date, in the case of Alternate Base Rate
Loans. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender thereof. Each Acquisition
Fronting Lender will make the requested Fronted Acquisition Loan available to
the relevant Acquisition Borrower, at the principal lending office of such
Acquisition Fronting Lender in the relevant jurisdiction, by 1:00 P.M., local
time, on the requested borrowing date, in Dollars or the relevant Approved
Acquisition Currencies (as the case may be) and in funds immediately available
to such Acquisition Borrower. The minimum amount of each borrowing of Fronted
Acquisition Loans shall, subject to subsection 10.8(h), be in an aggregate
principal amount to be mutually agreed upon by the relevant Acquisition
Fronting Lender and the relevant Acquisition Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Acquisition Direct Lender shall have any obligation to serve as an Acquisition
Fronting Lender and any such appointment of an Acquisition Direct Lender as an
Acquisition Fronting Lender shall be made only to the extent that such
Acquisition Direct Lender consents (in its sole discretion) thereto.
9.5 Matters Relating to Syndicated Acquisition Loans. (a) Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may (or, upon the request of the Lenders holding the
majority of the Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment, shall) request from time
to time that any one or more of the Acquisition Loans made in Approved
Acquisition Currencies be converted into Dollars, by delivering to the
Acquisition Lenders and the relevant Acquisition Borrower (and, if such
Acquisition Borrower is an Acquisition Subsidiary, to the Company) a notice to
such effect (an "Acquisition Loan
87
Conversion Notice"); provided that, in the event that any of the events
specified in Section 15(m) has occurred and is continuing, no actual
Acquisition Loan Conversion Notice shall be required, but rather such
Acquisition Loan Conversion Notice shall be deemed to have been delivered
(automatically and without any action by any Person) immediately prior to the
occurrence of such event.
(b) In the event that an Acquisition Loan Conversion Notice is
delivered or deemed to be delivered, all Acquisition Loans specified therein
promptly shall be converted by each Acquisition Lender into Dollars at the
actual exchange rate at which such Acquisition Lender would be able to obtain
the applicable amount of the relevant Approved Acquisition Currency. Promptly
following such conversion, each Acquisition Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent of the exchange rate utilized by it in making its
conversion (which rate shall be deemed to be correct, in the absence of
manifest error) and the amount in Dollars of its relevant Acquisition Loans
(after giving effect to such conversion). The Administrative Agent promptly
shall notify each Acquisition Lender and the relevant Acquisition Borrower
(and, if such Acquisition Borrower is an Acquisition Subsidiary, the Company)
of the aggregate outstanding principal amount (in Dollars) of such converted
Acquisition Loan and shall provide the relevant Acquisition Borrower (and, if
such Acquisition Borrower is an Acquisition Subsidiary, the Company) with the
conversion data provided to the Administrative Agent by each Acquisition
Lender. From and after such conversion, (i) all such specified Acquisition
Loans shall be deemed to be outstanding in Dollars as Alternate Base Rate Loans
and (ii) all amounts from time to time accruing, and all amounts from time to
time payable, on account of such converted Acquisition Loans (including,
without limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but
unpaid on the date of such conversion) shall be payable in Dollars as if such
Acquisition Loan originally had been made in Dollars.
9.6 Matters Relating to Fronted Acquisition Loans. (a) Each
Acquisition Direct Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to
purchase (in Dollars) an undivided participating interest in its ratable share
of such Fronted Acquisition Loans made by such Acquisition Fronting Lenders as
the Administrative Agent may at any time request; provided that:
(i) the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, it will not request any such
purchase of participating interests unless the Administrative Agent has
given to the Company and the relevant Acquisition Subsidiary (if any) three
Business Days' prior notice thereof;
(ii) the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it promptly will
request that the Acquisition Direct Lenders purchase such participating
interest in all Fronted Acquisition Loans made by any Acquisition Fronting
Lender which provides to the Administrative Agent a written certification
that an Event of Default described in Section 15(a) is continuing with
respect to the Fronted Acquisition Loans made by such Acquisition Fronting
Lender and requesting that such request be made by the Administrative
Agent;
88
(iii) in the event that any of the events specified in clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii) of Section 15(m) shall have occurred with respect to any
Acquisition Borrower, each Acquisition Direct Lender shall be deemed to
have purchased, automatically and without request, such participating
interest in the Fronted Acquisition Loans made to such Acquisition
Borrower; and
(iv) Any Restricted Lender's obligation to purchase participating
interests from an Acquisition Fronting Lender shall be subject to the
provisions of clause (e) below.
Any such request by the Administrative Agent shall be made in writing to each
Acquisition Direct Lender and shall specify the amount of Dollars (based upon
the actual exchange rate at which the Administrative Agent anticipates being
able to obtain the relevant Approved Acquisition Currency, with any excess
payment being refunded to the Acquisition Direct Lenders and any deficiency
remaining payable by the Acquisition Direct Lenders) required from such
Acquisition Direct Lender in order to effect the purchase by such Acquisition
Direct Lender of a participating interest in the amount equal to its
Acquisition Loan Commitment Percentage times the aggregate then outstanding
principal amount (in the Approved Acquisition Currency) of the relevant Fronted
Acquisition Loans (together with accrued interest thereon and other amounts
owing in connection therewith) in such Approved Acquisition Currency. Promptly
upon receipt of such request, each Acquisition Direct Lender shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent (in immediately available funds) the amount of Dollars
so specified by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
convert such amounts into the relevant Approved Acquisition Currency and shall
promptly deliver the proceeds of such conversion to the relevant Acquisition
Fronting Lender in immediately available funds. Promptly following receipt
thereof, such Acquisition Fronting Lender will deliver to each Acquisition
Direct Lender (through the Administrative Agent) an Acquisition Loan
Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such
amount. From and after such purchase, (i) the outstanding Syndicated
Acquisition Loans in which the Acquisition Direct Lenders have purchased such
participations shall be deemed to have been converted into Alternate Base Rate
Loans (with such conversion constituting, for purposes of subsection 10.12, a
prepayment of such Fronted Acquisition Loans before the last day of the
Interest Period with respect thereto) and (ii) all amounts from time to time
accruing, and all amounts from time to time payable, on account of such Fronted
Acquisition Loans (including, without limitation, any interest and other
amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such purchase) shall be
payable in Dollars as if such Fronted Acquisition Loan had originally been made
in Dollars and shall (other than with respect to the portion of the Applicable
Margin which, pursuant to subsection 10.6, is expressly stated to be paid for
the account of the Fronting Lender) be distributed by the relevant Acquisition
Fronting Lender to the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the
Acquisition Direct Lenders, on account of such participating interests.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 9.6, the
failure of any Acquisition Direct Lender to purchase its participating interest
in any Fronted Acquisition Loan shall not relieve any other Acquisition Direct
Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interest in a
timely manner, but no Acquisition Direct Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Acquisition Direct Lender to purchase the participating
interest to be purchased by such other Acquisition Direct Lender on any date.
89
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any Acquisition Direct Lender
pursuant to subsection 9.6(a) is paid to the Administrative Agent within three
Business Days following the date upon which such Acquisition Direct Lender
receives notice from the Administrative Agent that the Fronted Acquisition Loan
in which such Acquisition Direct Lender has purchased a participating interest
has been made or created (as the case may be), such Acquisition Direct Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product
of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted
by the Administrative Agent, during the period from and including the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the Administrative Agent, 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 such amount required to be paid by any Acquisition Direct Lender
pursuant to subsection 9.6(a) is not in fact made available to the
Administrative Agent within three Business Days following the date upon which
such Acquisition Direct Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent
that the Fronted Acquisition Loan in which such Acquisition Direct Lender has
purchased a participating interest has been made or created (as the case may
be), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such
Acquisition Direct Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon
calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Alternate
Base Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted
to any Acquisition Direct Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this
subsection 9.6(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Amounts
payable by any Acquisition Direct Lender pursuant to this subsection 9.6(b)
shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant
Acquisition Fronting Lender; provided that, if the Administrative Agent (in its
sole discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of such Acquisition Direct
Lender the amounts owing to such Acquisition Fronting Lender, then the amounts
shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for its own account.
(c) Whenever, at any time after the relevant Acquisition Fronting
Lender has received from any Acquisition Direct Lender such Acquisition Direct
Lender's participating interest in a Fronted Acquisition Loan pursuant to
clause (b) above, the Acquisition Fronting Lender receives any payment on
account thereof, such Acquisition Fronting Lender will distribute to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of such Acquisition Direct Lender, such
Acquisition Direct Lender's participating interest in such amount
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the
period of time during which such Acquisition Direct Lender's participating
interest was outstanding) in like funds as received; provided, however, that in
the event that such payment received by such Acquisition Fronting Lender is
required to be returned, such Acquisition Direct Lender will return to such
Acquisition Fronting Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by such
Acquisition Fronting Lender for the account of such Acquisition Direct Lender
in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by such Acquisition
Fronting Lender.
(d) Each Acquisition Direct Lender's obligation to purchase
participating interests pursuant to clause (a) above shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Acquisition Direct Lender may have against the relevant Acquisition
Lender, the relevant Acquisition Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (b) the
90
occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of the relevant Acquisition Borrower or any
other Person; (d) any breach of this Agreement by the relevant Acquisition
Borrower, any other Acquisition Borrower or any other Lender; or (e) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in herein, if
any Acquisition Direct Lender certifies at any time that such Lender believes
in good faith (after reasonable investigation) that the purchase by it of a
participating interest in any Acquisition Fronting Lender's Fronted Acquisition
Loans could reasonably be expected to cause such Acquisition Direct Lender to
be in violation of any applicable Requirement of Law of the jurisdiction in
which such Fronted Acquisition Loan is to be funded, such Acquisition Direct
Lender may, in lieu of committing to purchase such participating interest,
instead provide to the relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender a standby letter of
credit (from an issuer reasonably acceptable to such Acquisition Fronting
Lender) in the amount of such Acquisition Direct Lender's ratable share of such
Fronted Acquisition Loans, with any fees or other amounts payable by such
Acquisition Direct Lender on account of such standby letter of credit being for
the account of the relevant Acquisition Borrower. Each Acquisition Direct
Lender which provides such standby letter of credit (a "Restricted Lender") may
submit directly to the relevant Acquisition Borrower periodic invoices for the
amounts payable on account of such standby letter of credit (which invoice
shall be deemed to be correct in the absence of manifest error) and such
Acquisition Borrower hereby agrees to pay such amounts directly to such
Acquisition Direct Lender within 10 Business Days following such Acquisition
Borrower's receipt of such invoice.
(f) In the event that (i) the Acquisition Loan Commitment of an
Acquisition Fronting Lender shall at any time terminate (otherwise than on
termination of the Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment), (ii) an Acquisition
Fronting Lender shall assign all of its Acquisition Loan Commitment in
accordance with the provisions of subsection 17.7(c), (iii) an Acquisition
Fronting Lender shall elect to resign as such or (iv) the Company (on its own
behalf or as agent for the relevant Acquisition Subsidiary, as the case may be)
shall request that an Acquisition Fronting Lender do so, such Acquisition
Fronting Lender shall resign as Acquisition Fronting Lender by giving written
notice of its resignation to the Company, the relevant Acquisition Subsidiary
(if any) and the Administrative Agent, with such resignation becoming effective
on the date which is the earlier of (x) the date upon which an Acquisition
Direct Lender reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Company
(on its own behalf and as agent for the relevant Acquisition Subsidiary) is
designated as a substitute Acquisition Fronting Lender in accordance with the
provisions of subsection 9.6(g) and such proposed Acquisition Fronting Lender
executes and delivers an Acquisition Fronting Lender Joinder Agreement and (y)
such other date upon which such resigning Acquisition Fronting Lender, the
Company and the relevant Acquisition Subsidiary otherwise agree; provided that
such effective date shall in no event be later than the date which is 30 days
following the date upon which such written notice of resignation is delivered
to the Company. Any Fronted Acquisition Loans made by such Acquisition Fronting
Lender which are outstanding on such termination date shall (unless such
Fronted Acquisition Loans are then being assigned to another Acquisition
Fronting Lender in
91
accordance with the provisions of clause (x) above and all amounts then owing
to such resigning Acquisition Fronting Lender on account of its Fronted
Acquisition Loans are then paid to it in full) be due and payable on such
termination date.
(g) Each Acquisition Fronting Lender shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent on the first Business Day of each calendar month and on
any other date when any Fronted Acquisition Loan is repaid in whole or in part
a statement, substantially in the form of Exhibit S-3, showing (i) the
aggregate principal amount of Fronted Acquisition Loans denominated in Approved
Acquisition Currencies which are outstanding from such Fronting Lender as of
the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of
such statement, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Local Loans denominated
in Dollars which are outstanding from such Fronting Lender as of the close of
business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such statement
and (iii) the exchange rate utilized by such Acquisition Fronting Lender on the
Business Day immediately preceding the date of such statement in calculating
the Equivalent in Dollars of the aggregate amount of Fronted Acquisition Loans
which are outstanding from such Lender. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees
to deliver a copy of each such statement to the Company promptly following its
receipt thereof and of any such statement to any Acquisition Direct Lender
promptly upon its request therefor.
9.7 Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment Increases. (a) At any time
when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and with the
written consent of the Required Lenders the Company may elect to increase the
Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment. Upon written consent of the Required
Lenders to the amount (the "Offered Increase Amount") of such proposed
increase, the Company may, at its election, (i) offer one or more of the
Lenders the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the Offered
Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (c) below and/or (ii) offer one or more
additional banks, financial institutions or other entities (a "Prospective
Lender") the opportunity to assume all or a portion of the Offered Increase
Amount pursuant to paragraph (b) below; provided that any such offer to a
Prospective Lender which is not an Eligible Assignee shall require the consent
of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(b) Any Prospective Lender which the Company selects to offer the
right to assume a portion of the Offered Increase Amount and which elects to
become a party to this Agreement and obtain an Acquisition Loan Commitment in
an amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to subsection 9.7(a)(ii) shall
execute a New Lender Supplement with the Company and the Administrative Agent,
whereupon such Prospective Lender shall become an Acquisition Direct Lender for
all purposes and to the same extent as if originally an Acquisition Direct
Lender party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement, and Schedule II shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and
Acquisition Loan Commitment of such new Acquisition Direct Lender.
(c) Any Lender which accepts (in its sole discretion) an offer to it
by the Company to participate in all or a portion of the Offered Increase
Amount pursuant to subsection 9.7(a)(i) shall, in each case, execute an
Acquisition Loan Commitment Supplement with the Company and the Administrative
Agent, whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled
92
to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Offered
Increase Amount in which it has agreed to participate, and Schedule II shall be
deemed to be amended to reflect the Acquisition Loan Commitment of such Lender.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 9.7,
the Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment may be increased only in integral
multiples of $15,000,000 and in an aggregate amount not exceeding $200,000,000.
9.8 Mandatory Reduction of Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment. The
Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment shall be reduced on each date set forth
below by the amount set forth opposite such date:

provided that any voluntary reductions of the Aggregate Acquisition Loan
Commitment pursuant to subsection 10.1 shall be applied to satisfy the
commitment reductions otherwise required under this subsection 9.8 in the order
of the scheduled occurrences of such mandatory reductions and provided,
further, that in the event the Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment is
increased pursuant to subsection 9.7, each reduction of the Aggregate
Acquisition Loan Commitment set forth in this subsection 9.8 scheduled to occur
after the date of such increase shall be increased by an amount equal to the
product of (x) the amount of such increase in the Aggregate Acquisition Loan
Commitment and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of such
reduction of the Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment and the denominator of
which is the sum of the remaining reductions of the Aggregate Acquisition Loan
Commitment scheduled to occur after the date of such increase.
9.9 Use of Proceeds of Acquisition Loans. The proceeds of the
Acquisition Loans hereunder shall be used by the relevant Acquisition Borrower
to (a) finance the Investment Consideration for Investments which are permitted
hereunder, (b) refinance the Investment Consideration for Investments which are
permitted hereunder and are made after the date hereof and (c) pay fees and
expenses relating thereto.
93
SECTION 10. PROVISIONS RELATING TO CERTAIN EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT; FEES
AND PAYMENT
10.1 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Aggregate Commitment. The
Company (on its own behalf and as agent for the Borrowing Subsidiaries) shall
have the right at any time, upon not less than five Business Days' notice to
the Administrative Agent, to terminate or, from time to time, permanently
reduce any Commitment, subject to the provisions of subsections 10.8(h) and
10.12, with any such voluntary reduction (a) being in an amount equal to
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (b) reducing
permanently the amount of such Commitment then in effect and (c) being applied,
in the case of reductions of the Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment, to the
remaining scheduled reductions thereof in order of their scheduled occurrence.
10.2 Optional Prepayments. (a) The Company and each Acquisition
Subsidiary may, subject to subsection 10.12, at any time and from time to time,
prepay any Initial Term Loans, Deferred Draw Term Loans, Revolving Credit
Loans, Swing Line Loans or Syndicated Acquisition Loans borrowed by it which
are then outstanding, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at
least three Working Days' irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in
the case of Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans and one Business Day's
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of Alternate Base
Rate Loans, specifying (i) the date and amount of such prepayment, (ii) the
principal amount to be prepaid, (iii) whether the prepayment is of Initial Term
Loans, Deferred Draw Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans or
Acquisition Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof,
the amount of prepayment allocable to each (and, in the case of prepayments of
the Acquisition Loans denominated in Approved Acquisition Currencies, the
relevant Approved Acquisition Currency being prepaid) and (iii) whether the
prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Alternate Base Rate
Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount of
prepayment allocable to each (and, with respect to such Eurodollar Loans and
Eurocurrency Loans, each Tranche thereof). Upon receipt of any such notice, the
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any
such notice is given, the Company will make the prepayment specified therein,
and such prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Each partial prepayment pursuant to this subsection 10.2 shall be in an amount
equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in
the case of Swing Line Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof) and shall comply with subsection 10.8(h). Any such optional
prepayments of the Initial Term Loans or the Deferred Draw Term Loans shall be
applied to the remaining installments thereof in inverse order of their
scheduled maturities (to be applied first to the payments due under subsection
2.4(b) or subsection 3.4(b), as the case may be).
(b) The Company and each Local Subsidiary may, subject to subsection
10.12, at any time and from time to time, prepay any Local Loans borrowed by it
or Acceptances created for its account which are then outstanding, in whole or
in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Working Days'

and two Business Day's irrevocable notice to such Local Fronting Lender, in the
case of Alternate
94
Base Rate Loans, Local Rate Loans or Acceptances, specifying (i) the date and
amount of such prepayment, (ii) whether the amounts prepaid are on account of
Acceptances or Local Loans (and, if on account of Local Loans, whether such
Local Loans to be prepaid are denominated in Dollars or in a Denomination
Currency, as the case may be) or a combination thereof, and, if a combination
thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each and (iii) whether the
prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans (in the case of
any prepayment of any such Loans denominated in Dollars) or Eurocurrency Loans
or Local Rate Loans (otherwise) or (in either case) a combination thereof, and,
if of a combination thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each (and,
with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or, to the extent
applicable, Local Rate Loans, each Tranche thereof); provided, however, that
Local Loans borrowed by way of overdrafts may be repaid on same-day notice
without regard to any minimum amount of repayment required by this subsection
10.2(b), with any deposit of funds (whether by clearance of a check, receipt of
a wire transfer or otherwise) in the account of the relevant Local Subsidiary
maintained by the Local Fronting Lender with respect to such overdrafts being
deemed to constitute such notice of prepayment. If any such notice is given,
the relevant Local Borrower will make the prepayment specified therein, and
such prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each
partial prepayment of the Local Loans pursuant to this subsection 10.2 shall be
in such minimum amount as may be mutually agreed upon by the relevant Local
Fronting Lender and the relevant Borrower and shall comply with subsection
10.8(h); provided that in no event shall such minimum amount be greater than
$500,000 or the Equivalent thereof in the relevant Denomination Currency.
(c) The Company and each Acquisition Subsidiary may, subject to
subsection 10.12, at any time and from time to time, prepay any Fronted
Acquisition Loans borrowed by it which are then outstanding, in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Working Days' irrevocable
notice to the relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), in the case of Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans,
and two Business Day's irrevocable notice to such Acquisition Fronting Lender,
in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, specifying (i) the date and amount of
such prepayment, (ii) to the extent applicable, whether the amounts to be
prepaid are on account of Fronted Acquisition Loans which are denominated in
Dollars, Approved Acquisition Currencies or a combination thereof, and, if a
combination thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each and (iii)
whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans (in
the case of any prepayment of any such Loans denominated in Dollars) or a
combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount of prepayment
allocable to each (and, with respect to such Eurodollar Loans and Eurocurrency
Loans, each Tranche thereof). If any such notice is given, the relevant
Acquisition Borrower will make the prepayment specified therein, and such
prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each partial
prepayment of the Fronted Acquisition Loans pursuant to this subsection 10.2(c)
shall be in such minimum amount as may be mutually agreed upon by the relevant
Fronting Lender and the relevant Borrower and shall comply with subsection
10.8(h); provided that in no event shall such minimum amount be greater than
$500,000 or the Equivalent thereof in the relevant Approved Acquisition
Currency.
10.3 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If, at any time and from time to time,
the Aggregate Commitment is temporarily or permanently reduced pursuant to the
terms of this
95
Agreement and, on the date of such reduction, the Company would not be able to
satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in subsection 12.3, the
Company shall (and, if applicable, shall cause the Borrowing Subsidiaries to),
on the date of such reduction, repay the relevant Loans and/or Reimbursement
Obligations (and, to the extent necessary, cause the relevant then outstanding
Undrawn L/C Obligations to be Fully Secured) in accordance with the provisions
of subsections 10.5 by the amount of such reduction (or, if less, the amount of
the Payment Obligations then outstanding). In the event that, at any time after
the Company has caused then outstanding Undrawn L/C Obligations to be Fully
Secured pursuant to this subsection 10.3(a), the Company is able to satisfy the
conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in subsection 12.3 and the
Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment or the Aggregate Special L/C Commitment, as
the case may be, then equals or exceeds the Aggregate Outstanding Multi-
Currency Extensions of Credit or the aggregate amount of Special L/C
Obligations, as the case may be, the amounts deposited by the Company in order
to cause such Undrawn L/C Obligations to be Fully Secured shall be promptly
returned to the Company.
(b) If, at any time and from time to time, the Aggregate Outstanding
Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit exceed the Aggregate Multi-Currency
Commitment then in effect, the Company and/or the Local Subsidiaries shall
immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Line Loans, the Local
Loans, the Acceptances and/or the Operating L/C Reimbursement Obligations (and,
to the extent necessary, cause the then outstanding Undrawn Operating L/C
Obligations to be Fully Secured) in accordance with the provisions of
subsection 10.5 by the amount equal to such excess.
(c) If, at any time and from time to time, the then outstanding
Special L/C Obligations exceed the Aggregate Special L/C Commitment then in
effect, the Company shall immediately repay the Special L/C Obligations (and,
to the extent necessary, cause the then outstanding Undrawn Special L/C
Obligations to be Fully Secured) by the amount equal to such excess.
(d) If, at any time and from time to time, (i) the sum of (A) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Syndicated Acquisition Loans
which are denominated in Dollars, (B) the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Fronted Acquisition Loans which are denominated in Dollars, (C)
the Equivalent in Dollars of 105% of the aggregate principal amount of then
outstanding Syndicated Acquisition Loans which are denominated in Approved
Acquisition Currencies and (D) the Equivalent in Dollars of 105% of the
aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Fronted Acquisition Loans which
are denominated in Approved Acquisition Currencies exceeds (ii) the Aggregate
Acquisition Loan Commitment then in effect, the Acquisition Borrowers shall
immediately repay the Acquisition Loans by the amount equal to such excess.
(e) If, at any time and from time to time, the sum of (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Local Loans denominated in Dollars
which are owing by the Local Borrowers to a Local Fronting Lender, (ii) the
Equivalent in Dollars of 105% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
Local Loans denominated in the relevant Denomination Currency which are owing
by the Local Borrowers to such Local Fronting Lender and (iii) the
96
Equivalent in Dollars of 105% of the aggregate undiscounted face amount of
Acceptances in the relevant Denomination Currency which are owing by the
relevant Local Subsidiary to such Local Fronting Lender, exceeds the Currency
Sublimit for such Local Fronting Lender, such Local Borrowers shall, within
three Business Days, repay the Local Loans and Acceptances owing by them to
such Local Fronting Lender by the amount equal to such excess.
(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 10.3(a) above, the
Initial Term Loans owing to each Initial Term Loan Lender and the Deferred Draw
Term Loans owing to each Deferred Draw Term Loan Lender shall be repaid to the
extent required by subsection 10.5(a); provided that any Initial Term Loan
Lender or any Deferred Draw Term Loan Lender may elect to waive its right to
any payment owing to it pursuant to this subsection 10.3(f) and, if any Initial
Term Loan Lender or any Deferred Draw Term Loan Lender so elects, the amounts
otherwise payable to such Initial Term Loan Lender or such Deferred Draw Term
Loan Lender, as the case may be, shall instead be applied ratably to repay the
other Initial Term Loan Lenders or Deferred Draw Term Loan Lenders, as the case
may be (or, if no other Initial Term Loans or Deferred Draw Term Loans, as the
case may be, are then outstanding or payable to Initial Term Loan Lenders or
Deferred Draw Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, who have not so waived
such payment, to reduce the Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment).
(g) The Acquisition Loans owing to the Acquisition Lenders promptly
(and in any event within one Business Day following receipt by the relevant
Person of such Net Proceeds) shall be repaid by the amount equal to the Net
Proceeds from any Net Proceeds Event in respect of a Resale Transaction;
provided that no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this subsection
10.3(g) to the extent that (i) the Investment Consideration paid by the Company
and its Subsidiaries to acquire the assets being sold pursuant to such Resale
Transaction was financed entirely with Excess Cash Flow of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (a "Designated Resale Transaction") and (ii) the aggregate amount
of such Net Proceeds from all such Designated Resale Transactions does not
exceed $15,000,000.
(h) On the Termination Date, the Aggregate Commitment shall terminate
and the Borrowers shall cause all Payment Obligations to be Fully Satisfied.
10.4 Mandatory Commitment Reductions. (a) Unless the Lenders then
holding more than 85% of the Aggregate Commitment (excluding any portions
thereof held by any Non-Funding Lender) then in effect otherwise agree, the
Aggregate Commitment shall be promptly (and in any event on the date of receipt
by Revlon Holdings, any Revlon Holdings Support Party, the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company of such Net Proceeds) permanently reduced by the
amount equal to the amount of Net Proceeds from any Net Proceeds Event (other
than a Net Proceeds Event described in clause (b) below) which has the effect
of releasing any material collateral provided for in any Security Document.
(b) Unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, the Aggregate
Commitment shall be promptly (and in any event within one Business Day
following receipt by the relevant Person of such Net Proceeds) permanently
reduced by the amount equal to:
97
(i) the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received from Net Proceeds
Events in respect of the incurrence by any Revlon Holdings Support Party,
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness for borrowed money;
(ii) the amount equal to the portion of the aggregate amount of Net
Proceeds (other than the Net Proceeds with respect to Net Proceeds Events
constituting Resale Transactions) received by Revlon Holdings, any Revlon
Holdings Support Parties, the Company and its Subsidiaries from all Net
Proceeds Events in respect of (A) the sale, transfer or other disposition
of capital stock or other equity interests of Revlon Holdings or any Revlon
Holdings Support Party, (B) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition
of assets of Revlon Holdings or any Revlon Holdings Support Party and (C)
the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of assets of the Company and
its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any primary issuance and
sale of equity securities) which (in the case of this clause (C) only) does
not have the effect of releasing material collateral provided for in any
Security Document; provided, however, that (x) no such reduction of the
Aggregate Commitment shall be required pursuant to this subsection
10.4(b)(ii) during any year ending on an anniversary of the date hereof to
the extent that the aggregate amount of such Net Proceeds, together with
all other Net Proceeds described in this subsection 10.4(b)(ii) received
during such year, is less than $10,000,000 or the Equivalent in any other
currency thereof, (y) no such reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall
be required pursuant to this subsection 10.4(b)(ii) with respect to the Net
Proceeds from any Net Proceeds Event in respect of a Resale Transaction,
which Net Proceeds shall instead be applied in accordance with the
provisions of subsection 10.3(g), and (z) for purposes of this subsection
10.4(b)(ii) only, the term "Net Proceeds" shall not include the Net
Proceeds from any Specified Disposition to the extent that the aggregate
amount of Net Proceeds from all Specified Dispositions since the date
hereof does not exceed $25,000,000;
(iii) the amount equal to the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds
received by the Company and its Subsidiaries from any Net Proceeds Events
(other than those otherwise described in this subsection 10.4) of the
Company and its Subsidiaries; and
(c) Unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, the Aggregate
Commitment shall be promptly (and in any event within one Business Day
following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the financial statements
contemplated by subsection 13.1(a) for such year) permanently reduced by the
amount equal to the Net Excess Cash Flow of the Company and its Subsidiaries
for the fiscal year of the Company covered by such financial statements
(commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997); provided that if
the Leverage Ratio of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the period of four
consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal year of the
Company covered by such financial statements is less than or equal to 4.25 to
1.0, the Aggregate Commitment shall not be required to be so reduced.
(d) If, any Borrower would incur costs pursuant to subsection 10.12 as
a result of any payment due pursuant to subsection 10.3 which result from any
commitment reduction
98
required to be made pursuant to this subsection 10.4, such Borrower may deposit
the amount of such payment with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the relevant Lenders, in a cash collateral account, until the end of the
applicable Interest Period at which time such payment shall be made (provided
that such deposit does not violate any provision of any Indenture). Each
Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such
Lenders, a security interest in all amounts in which such Borrower has any
right, title or interest which are from time to time on deposit in such cash
collateral account and expressly waives all rights (which rights such Borrower
hereby acknowledges and agrees are vested exclusively in the Administrative
Agent) to exercise dominion or control over any such amounts.
10.5 Application of Payments and Commitment Reductions. (a) Any
reduction of the Aggregate Commitment required pursuant to subsection 10.4
shall be applied:
(i) ratably to the repayment of the Initial Term Loans and the
Deferred Draw Term Loans then outstanding and the reduction of the
Available Deferred Draw Term Loan Commitment and the Aggregate Acquisition
Loan Commitment (with any such reduction of the Aggregate Acquisition Loan
Commitment being applied ratably to the then remaining scheduled reductions
thereof);
(ii) to the extent that no Initial Term Loans or Deferred Draw Term
Loans remain outstanding, the Available Deferred Draw Term Loan Commitment
is zero and the Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment has been terminated,
to the reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment; and
(iii) to the extent that no Initial Term Loans or Deferred Draw Term
Loans remain outstanding, the Available Deferred Draw Term Loan Commitment
is zero and each of the Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment and the
Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment has been terminated to the reduction of
the Aggregate Special L/C Commitment.
(b) To the extent that any reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency
Commitment necessitates the prepayment of amounts outstanding thereunder
pursuant to subsection 10.3, such prepayment shall be applied, first, to the
Swing Line Loans then outstanding; second, to the Revolving Credit Loans then
outstanding; third, to the reimbursement of all outstanding Operating L/C
Reimbursement Obligations; fourth, to the Local Loans and Acceptances then
outstanding; and, fifth, to causing the then outstanding Undrawn Operating L/C
Obligations to be Fully Secured.
(c) To the extent that any reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency
Commitment necessitates the prepayment of Local Loans and Acceptances
outstanding thereunder pursuant to subsection 10.3, such prepayment shall be
applied, first, to the Local Loans of such Local Borrowers as the Company (on
its own behalf and as agent of the Local Subsidiaries) may elect and, second,
to the Acceptances; provided that, during such time as an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall be applied to the Local Loans
and (to the extent relevant) Acceptances of such Local Borrowers as the Agents
may elect.
99
(d) To the extent that any reduction of the Aggregate Acquisition Loan
Commitment necessitates the prepayment of Acquisition Loans outstanding
thereunder pursuant to subsection 10.3, such prepayment shall be applied in
such manner as the Company (or, following the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent) may
elect;
(e) Any prepayment of the Initial Term Loans or the Deferred Draw Term
Loans required pursuant to subsection 10.3 or 10.4 shall be applied to the
outstanding installments thereof in inverse order of their scheduled maturities
(to be applied first to the payment due under subsection 2.4(b) or subsection
3.4(b), as the case may be).
10.6 Interest Rate and Payment Dates; Risk Participation Fees; Local
Administrative Fee. (a) The Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount thereof for each day during each Interest Period with respect
thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such day plus the
Applicable Margin.
(b) The Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal
amount thereof for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at
a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to the relevant
Denomination Currency or Approved Acquisition Currency, as the case may be, for
such day plus the Applicable Margin.
(d) Each Local Rate Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal
amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Local Rate applicable to the
relevant Denomination Currency plus the Applicable Margin.
(e) If all or a portion of any amount owing hereunder shall not be
paid when due, all of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans,
Acceptances and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, and (to the extent permitted
by applicable law) any overdue interest, fees and other amounts due under the
Credit Documents, shall (i) bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to
the higher of (A) 2% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable thereto
pursuant to this subsection 10.6 and (B) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2-3/4%
and (ii) if such amount is on account of a Eurodollar Loan or a Eurocurrency
Loan, be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan or a Local Rate Loan, as the
case may be, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
(f) Interest on each Syndicated Loan accrued to but not including each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto shall be payable in arrears on each
such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest accruing on the
principal of or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest or any
other amount payable in connection with any such Syndicated Loan not paid when
due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), shall be
payable from time to time upon demand of the Administrative Agent acting on the
affected Lenders' behalf.
100
(g) Interest on each Fronted Loan accrued to but not including each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto shall be payable in arrears to the
relevant Fronting Lender on each such Interest Payment Date; provided, however,
that interest accruing on the principal of, or (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) interest or any other amount payable in connection with, any
Fronted Loan not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), shall be payable from time to time upon demand of the
Administrative Agent acting on the affected Fronting Lender's behalf. Interest
on each Fronted Loan shall be payable to the relevant Fronting Lender in the
Denomination Currency or Approved Acquisition Currency applicable to it (or,
with respect to Fronted Loans which are denominated in Dollars, in Dollars). On
each Interest Payment Date (including, without limitation, each Interest
Payment Date with respect to Acceptances), the Fronting Lender shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent, the Company and the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary an
Interest Allocation Statement, substantially in the form of Exhibit S-2 or S-3
(as applicable), and the Company and the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary shall
(in the absence of manifest error) pay the amount specified therein on such
Interest Payment Date.
(h) As promptly as is practicable following each date upon which a
Local Fronting Lender receives a payment of interest under this Agreement on
account of Local Loans and/or Acceptances, such Local Fronting Lender shall
convert into Dollars (at the exchange rate then applicable to it) the amount
equal to (i) the portion of such payment which constitutes the Applicable
Margin thereon (or, with respect to each Multi-Currency Lender which funded the
purchase of a participating interest in such Local Loan or Acceptance pursuant
to subsection 8.4(a), as the case may be, such Multi-Currency Lender's
Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of the full amount of such interest
payment) minus (ii) 1/4 of 1% per annum on the aggregate undiscounted face
amount of the extensions of credit on account of which such interest payment
was made (which unconverted amount shall be retained by such Local Fronting
Lender for its own account). In consideration of the agreement of the
Multi-Currency Lenders to purchase participating interests in the Local Loans
and Acceptances, each Local Fronting Lender hereby agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Multi-Currency Lender, a
risk participation fee in the amount equal to the proceeds received by such
Local Fronting Lender from such conversion (other than any such proceeds
payable for the account of a Non-Funding Lender, which proceeds shall be
retained by such Local Fronting Lender for its own account) or, if no such
conversion is required, the amount which would have been converted if such
interest had been paid in a Denomination Currency; provided, however, that, in
the event that the Multi-Currency Lenders have funded the purchase of
participating interests in the extensions of credit on account of which such
interest payment was made pursuant to subsection 8.4(a), such Local Fronting
Lender shall instead pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each
Multi-Currency Lender which has so funded such purchase, the amount equal to
such Multi-Currency Lender's Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of the
proceeds received by such Local Fronting Lender from such conversion. Such
amount shall be payable to the Administrative Agent in Dollars on the date upon
which such Local Fronting Lender receives the proceeds of such conversion. For
purposes of this subsection 10.6(h), interest shall be deemed to have been
received by the Local Fronting Lender on account of an Acceptance on the last
day of the calendar month in which such Acceptance matures.
101
(i) On each date upon which any Local Borrower pays interest to a
Local Fronting Lender hereunder on account of any Local Loan and on each date
upon which any Acceptance is created by a Local Lender for the account of a
Local Borrower hereunder, such Local Borrower shall pay to such Local Fronting
Lender (for its own account) a local administrative fee in the amount equal to
1/4 of 1% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of the Local Loans with
respect to which such interest is being paid or on the aggregate undiscounted
face amount of such Acceptance, as the case may be.
(j) As promptly as is practicable following each date upon which an
Acquisition Fronting Lender receives a payment of interest under this Agreement
on account of Fronted Acquisition Loans, such Acquisition Fronting Lender shall
(if necessary) convert into Dollars (at the exchange rate then applicable to
it) the amount equal to the portion of such payment which constitutes the
Applicable Margin thereon (or, with respect to each Acquisition Direct Lender
which funded the purchase of a participating interest in such Fronted
Acquisition Loan pursuant to subsection 9.6(a), such Acquisition Direct
Lender's Acquisition Loan Commitment Percentage of the full amount of such
interest payment). In consideration of the agreement of the Acquisition Direct
Lenders to purchase participating interests in the Fronted Acquisition Loans,
each Acquisition Fronting Lender hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the ratable account of each Acquisition Direct Lender, a risk
participation fee in the amount equal to the proceeds received by such
Acquisition Fronting Lender from such conversion (other than any such proceeds
payable for the account of a Non-Funding Lender, which proceeds shall be
retained by such Acquisition Fronting Lender for its own account). Such amount
shall be payable to the Administrative Agent in Dollars on the date upon which
such Acquisition Fronting Lender receives the proceeds of such conversion.
(k) On each date upon which any Acquisition Borrower pays interest to
an Acquisition Fronting Lender hereunder on account of any Fronted Acquisition
Loan, such Acquisition Borrower shall pay to such Acquisition Fronting Lender
(for its own account) a local administrative fee in the amount agreed upon
between such Acquisition Fronting Lender and such Acquisition Borrower at the
time such Acquisition Fronting Lender agreed to make such Fronted Acquisition
Loan.
10.7 Letter of Credit Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (a) The
Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant
Issuing Lender and the applicable L/C Participants with respect to each Letter
of Credit, a letter of credit commission with respect to such Letter of Credit
in an amount per annum equal to (i) the Applicable Margin applicable to
Eurodollar Loans on the date of payment of such letter of credit commission (of
which 1/4 of 1% per annum shall be for the account of the relevant Issuing
Lender and the remainder of such fee shall be for the accounts of the relevant
L/C Participants and such Issuing Lender to be shared ratably among them in
accordance with their respective Special L/C Commitment Percentages or
Multi-Currency Commitment Percentages, as applicable) times (ii) the undrawn
face amount of such Letter of Credit; provided that in no event shall such
letter of credit commission in respect of any Commercial Letter of Credit be
less than the amount which would be paid in respect of such Commercial Letter
of Credit if it had a tenor of 120 days.
102
(b) Letter of credit commissions which are payable pursuant to clause
(a) above shall be non-refundable and shall be payable to the Administrative
Agent:
(i) with respect to any Commercial Letter of Credit having a tenor of
less than 120 days, in advance on the date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit on account of the period of 120 days; and
(ii) with respect to any other Letter of Credit, in arrears on account
of the period from the issuance date with respect thereto through the day
immediately preceding the next L/C Fee Payment Date (or, if earlier, the
expiry date for such Letter of Credit) and on each succeeding L/C Fee
Payment Date on account of the period from such L/C Fee Payment Date
through the day immediately preceding the next L/C Fee Payment Date (or, if
earlier, the expiry date for such Letter of Credit).
(c) In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Company
shall pay or reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender directly (and not through
the Administrative Agent) in respect of each Letter of Credit for such normal
and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing
Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering
any Letter of Credit issued by it.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall pay to each applicable L/C
Participant and the relevant Issuing Lender all fees and commissions
(including, without limitation, any fees and commissions paid to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each such L/C Participant and such
Issuing Lender on the issuance date of any Letter of Credit) received from time
to time by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to
this subsection 10.7 within one day following each L/C Fee Payment Date.
10.8 Conversion Options, Minimum Tranches and Maximum Interest
Periods. (a) The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert outstanding
Syndicated Loans from Eurodollar Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving
the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day's prior irrevocable notice
of such election. The Borrowers may elect from time to time and at any time to
convert outstanding Syndicated Loans from Alternate Base Rate Loans to
Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Working
Days' irrevocable notice of such election; provided that no Syndicated Loan may
be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have
determined that such a conversion is not appropriate. Upon receipt of such
notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Syndicated
Lender thereof. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each such
affected Syndicated Lender shall take such action as is necessary to effect
such conversion. All or any part of the outstanding Syndicated Loans may be
converted as provided herein.
(b) Any Syndicated Loans which are Eurodollar Loans may be continued
as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by
giving the Administrative Agent at least three Working Days' irrevocable notice
for continuation thereof; provided that no such Eurodollar Loan may be
continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is
103
continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have
determined that such a continuation is not appropriate, and, instead, such
Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate
Loan on the last day of the Interest Period for which a Eurodollar Rate was
determined by the Administrative Agent prior to the Administrative Agent's
obtaining knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. The Administrative
Agent shall notify each affected Syndicated Lender promptly that such automatic
conversion shall occur.
(c) Each Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding
Fronted Loans from Eurodollar Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans (in the case
of Fronted Loans which are in Dollars) by giving (or causing the Company to
give) the relevant Fronting Lender at least two Business Days' prior
irrevocable notice of such election. Each Local Borrower may elect from time to
time to convert outstanding Local Loans from Eurocurrency Loans to Local Rate
Loans (in the case of Local Loans which are in a Denomination Currency) by
giving (or causing the Company to give) the relevant Local Fronting Lender at
least two Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election. Each
Borrower may elect from time to time and at any time to convert outstanding
Fronted Loans from Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans (in the case
of Fronted Loans which are in Dollars) by giving (or causing the Company to
give) the relevant Fronting Lender at least three Working Days' irrevocable
notice of such election; provided that no Alternate Base Rate Loans may be
converted to Eurodollar Loans when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have
determined that such a conversion is not appropriate. Each Local Borrower may
elect from time to time and at any time to convert outstanding Local Rate Loans
to Eurocurrency Loans (in the case of Local Loans which are in a Denomination
Currency) by giving (or causing the Company to give) the relevant Local
Fronting Lender at least three Working Days' irrevocable notice of such
election; provided that no Local Rate Loans may be converted to Eurocurrency
Loans when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined that such a
conversion is not appropriate. Upon receipt of such notice, such Fronting
Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof. On the date on
which such conversion is being made, the relevant Fronting Lender shall take
such action as is necessary to effect such conversion. All or any part of the
outstanding Fronted Loans may be converted as provided herein.
(d) Any Local Loans which are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans
or (to the extent applicable) Local Rate Loans may be continued as such upon
the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by giving the
relevant Local Fronting Lender at least three Working Days' irrevocable notice
for continuation thereof; provided that no such Eurodollar Loan or Eurocurrency
Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have
determined that such a continuation is not appropriate, and, instead, such
Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans
and such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to Local Rate
Loans on the last day of the Interest Period for which a Eurodollar Rate or a
Eurocurrency Rate, as the case may be, was determined by the relevant Local
Fronting Lender prior to its obtaining knowledge of such Default or Event of
Default. The Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Local Fronting
Lenders promptly that such automatic conversion shall occur.
104
(e) Any Acquisition Loans which are Eurocurrency Loans shall be
continued as such for a new Interest Period of one month upon the expiration of
an Interest Period with respect thereto unless the relevant Acquisition
Borrower shall have given to:
(i) the Administrative Agent (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans which
are Syndicated Acquisition Loans) at least three Working Days' irrevocable
notice to the contrary; or
(ii) the relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender (in the case of
Eurocurrency Loans which are Fronted Acquisition Loans) at least four
Working Days' irrevocable notice to the contrary;
provided that, unless such Acquisition Loans are to be repaid upon the
expiration of such Interest Period or to become Converted Acquisition Loans,
any continuation of Syndicated Acquisition Loans which occurs when the
Administrative Agent has knowledge that any Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, and any continuation of Fronted Acquisition Loans
which occurs when the relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender has knowledge
thereof, shall be for an Interest Period of one month. Any Acquisition Loans
which are Eurocurrency Loans shall be converted into another Type of Loan only
in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.16.
(f) In the event that a timely notice of conversion or continuation
with regard to Syndicated Loans which are Eurodollar Loans is not given in
accordance with this subsection 10.7, then, unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received timely notice from the Company in accordance with
subsection 10.2 that such Eurodollar Loans are to be prepaid on the last day of
such Interest Period, the Company shall be deemed irrevocably to have requested
that such Eurodollar Loans be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans on the
last day of such Interest Period.
(g) In the event that a timely notice of conversion or continuation
with regard to Local Loans which are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans is
not given in accordance with this subsection 10.7, then, unless the relevant
Local Fronting Lender shall have received timely notice from the relevant
Borrower in accordance with subsection 10.2 that such Eurodollar Loans or
Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, are to be prepaid on the last day of
such Interest Period, such Borrower shall be deemed irrevocably to have
requested that such Eurodollar Loans be converted into Alternate Base Rate
Loans or such Eurocurrency Loans be converted into Local Rate Loans, as the
case may be, on the last day of such Interest Period. In the event that a
timely notice of continuation with regard to Local Rate Loans which are subject
to an Interest Period is not given in accordance with this subsection 10.7,
then, unless the relevant Local Fronting Lender shall have received timely
notice from the relevant Borrower in accordance with subsection 10.2 that such
Local Rate Loans are to be converted into Eurocurrency Loans or prepaid on the
last day of such Interest Period, such Borrower shall be deemed irrevocably to
have requested that such Local Rate Loans be continued as such on the last day
of such Interest Period for a new Interest Period which is the shortest such
Interest Period available to such Borrower from the relevant Local Fronting
Lender.
105
(h) Any borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency
Loans, or conversion to or from Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, or
payments or prepayments of Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, shall be in
such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving
effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Tranche of
Syndicated Loans which are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans shall be
$10,000,000 or a whole multiple (to the extent possible) of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof, provided that (A) Syndicated Acquisition Loans which are made
to refund any Refunded Revolving Credit Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate
principal amount of $5,000,000 and (B) Syndicated Acquisition Loans which are
denominated in an Approved Acquisition Currency shall be in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the Equivalent in such Approved Acquisition Currency
of the amounts set forth above, as rounded upwards to the nearest 100,000 units
(e.g., DM100,000, (pound)100,000 or (Y)100,000) of the relevant Approved
Acquisition Currency; (ii) the aggregate principal amount of each Tranche of
Local Loans which are Eurodollar Loans, Alternate Base Rate Loans, Eurocurrency
Loans and Local Rate Loans in each Denomination Currency shall be in such
amount as may be mutually agreed upon by the relevant Local Fronting Lender and
the relevant Borrower, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of each Tranche of
Fronted Acquisition Loans shall be in such amount as may be mutually agreed
upon by the relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender and the relevant Acquisition
Borrower, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of all Syndicated Loans which are
Alternate Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) shall be $5,000,000 or
a whole multiple (to the extent possible) of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and
(v) there shall not be more than (A) twelve Tranches of Syndicated Loans which
are Eurodollar Loans at any one time outstanding, (B) two Tranches (or such
other number of Tranches as may be mutually agreed upon by the relevant
Fronting Lender and the relevant Borrowers) of Local Loans which are Eurodollar
Loans, Eurocurrency Loans and (to the extent that an Interest Period is
applicable thereto) Local Rate Loans in each Denomination Currency at any one
time outstanding and (C) two Tranches (or such other number of Tranches as may
be mutually agreed upon by the relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender and the
relevant Acquisition Borrowers) of Fronted Acquisition Loans which are
Eurodollar Loans and Eurocurrency Loans from any Acquisition Fronting Lender at
any one time outstanding.
10.9 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. (a) In the event that the
Administrative Agent or the relevant Fronting Lender shall have determined
(which determination, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and
binding upon each Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the
relevant interbank eurocurrency market, adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate or any relevant Eurocurrency Rate
for any Interest Period with respect to (i) any proposed Loan that the relevant
Borrower has requested be made as Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, (ii)
a Eurodollar Loan that will result from the requested conversion of all or part
of the Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, (iv) a Eurocurrency
Loan that will result from the requested conversion of all or part of the Local
Rate Loans in any Denomination Currency into Eurocurrency Loans, (v) the
continuation of a Eurodollar Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan as such for an
additional Interest Period (any such Loan described in clauses (i), (ii),
(iii), (iv) or (v) of this subsection 10.9(a) being herein called an "Affected
Loan"), the Administrative Agent or the relevant Fronting Lender (as the case
may be) shall forthwith give telecopy or telephonic notice of such
determination, confirmed in writing, to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to
the Company, the
106
Administrative Agent and any affected Lenders) at least two Business Days prior
to, as the case may be, the borrowing date for such Eurodollar Loan or
Eurocurrency Loan, the conversion date for such Alternate Base Rate Loan or
Local Rate Loan or the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such
Eurodollar Loan or Eurocurrency Loan. Unless the relevant Borrower shall have
notified the Administrative Agent (in the case of any Syndicated Loan), the
relevant Local Fronting Lender (in the case of any Local Loan) or the
Administrative Agent and the relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender (in the case
of any Fronted Acquisition Loan) promptly upon receipt of such telecopy or
telephonic notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding
such Affected Loans, then, as the case may be, (x) any requested Eurodollar
Loan shall be made as an Alternate Base Rate Loan, continued as an Alternate
Base Rate Loan or converted into an Alternate Base Rate Loan, (y) any requested
Acquisition Loan which is a Eurocurrency Loan shall be converted into an
Alternate Base Rate Loan in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.19
or (z) any requested Local Loan which is a Eurocurrency Loan shall be made as a
Local Rate Loan, continued as a Local Rate Loan or converted into a Local Rate
Loan. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent or
the relevant Fronting Lender, as the case may be, no further Affected Loans
shall be made.
(b) In the event that the Lenders holding the majority of the relevant
Commitment determine that the rates quoted by the Eurocurrency Reference
Lenders do not accurately reflect the cost to them of making or maintaining any
Syndicated Loans that a Borrower has requested that they make or maintain as,
or convert to, Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telecopy or telephonic notice of such
determination to such Borrower (with a copy to the Company, to the extent that
the Company is not such Borrower) on or before the requested borrowing,
conversion or continuation date for such Syndicated Loans or the next
succeeding Interest Period with respect thereto. Unless the relevant Borrower
shall have notified the Administrative Agent promptly after receipt of such
telecopy or telephonic notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its borrowing
request, then (i) any such Eurodollar Loans shall be made as or converted to
Alternate Base Rate Loans and (ii) any such Syndicated Acquisition Loans which
are Eurocurrency Loans shall be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans in
accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.19.
10.10 Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if
any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the
interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender
(other than a Fronting Lender) to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans or
Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to accept deposits in
order to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the
case may be, (i) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and
the Company thereof, (ii) the agreements of such Lender hereunder to make,
continue or convert to Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may
be, shall be suspended forthwith and (iii) such Lender's Syndicated Loans then
outstanding as Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall (A) in the
case of Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans (other than Acquisition Loans),
automatically become Alternate Base Rate Loans for the duration of the
respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (or, if permitted by applicable
law, at the end of such Interest Periods)
107
and (B) in the case of Acquisition Loans, be converted into Alternate Base Rate
Loans in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.19.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in law,
rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application
thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Local Fronting Lender to make or
maintain Local Loans as Eurodollar Loans in Dollars or Eurocurrency Loans in
the Denomination Currency applicable to it as contemplated by this Agreement or
to accept deposits in order to make or maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, (i)
such Local Fronting Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the
Company and the relevant Local Subsidiary thereof, (ii) the agreements of such
Local Fronting Lender hereunder to make or convert to Eurodollar Loans or
Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended forthwith, (iii)
such Local Fronting Lender's Local Loans then outstanding as (A) Eurocurrency
Loans, if any, shall automatically become Local Rate Loans for the duration of
the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (or, if permitted by
applicable law, at the end of such Interest Periods) or (B) Eurodollar Loans,
if any, shall automatically become Alternate Base Rate Loans for the duration
of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (or, if permitted by
applicable law, at the end of such Interest Periods).
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in law,
rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application
thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Acquisition Fronting Lender to make or
maintain its Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to accept
deposits in order to make or maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, (i) such
Acquisition Fronting Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the
Company and the relevant Acquisition Subsidiary thereof and (ii) such
Acquisition Fronting Lender's Fronted Acquisition Loans shall be converted into
Alternate Base Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.19
at the end of the relevant Interest Period (or on any earlier date as may be
required by applicable law).
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in law,
rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application
thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Multi-Currency Lender to purchase a
participating interest in any Local Loan or Acceptance, such Multi-Currency
Lender shall use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change the
office in which it is booking such participating interest) to avoid such
prohibition; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the
imposition on such Multi-Currency Lender of any additional costs or legal or
regulatory burdens deemed by such Multi-Currency Lender to be material or
otherwise be deemed by such Multi-Currency Lender to be disadvantageous to it
or contrary to its policies. In the event that such efforts are not sufficient
to avoid such prohibition, (i) such Multi-Currency Lender shall be deemed to be
a Non-Funding Lender with respect to such participating interest and the Local
Loan or Acceptance, as the case may be, to which it relates (except that such
Multi-Currency Lender shall not forfeit its voting rights under this Agreement
solely as a result of becoming a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the provisions
of this clause (d)), (ii) such Multi-Currency Lender shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent, the relevant Fronting Lender, the Company and the
relevant Local Subsidiary thereof and (iii) the agreements of such Fronting
Lender to make further Local Loans
108
(or, to the extent applicable, to make further Local Loans upon such interest
rate basis) and Acceptances hereunder shall be suspended forthwith.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in law,
rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application
thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Acquisition Direct Lender to purchase a
participating interest in any Fronted Acquisition Loan, such Acquisition Direct
Lender shall use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change the
office in which it is booking such participating interest) to avoid such
prohibition; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the
imposition on such Acquisition Direct Lender of any additional costs or legal
or regulatory burdens deemed by such Acquisition Direct Lender to be material
or otherwise be deemed by such Acquisition Direct Lender to be disadvantageous
to it or contrary to its policies. In the event that such efforts are not
sufficient to avoid such prohibition, (i) such Acquisition Direct Lender shall
be deemed to be a Non-Funding Lender with respect to such participating
interest and the Fronted Acquisition Loan to which it relates and (ii) such
Acquisition Direct Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the
relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender, the Company and the relevant Acquisition
Subsidiary thereof.
(f) The Company agrees promptly to pay to any Syndicated Lender, and
each Borrower agrees promptly to pay to any Fronting Lender, any additional
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by it as a
consequence of such Borrower making any repayment in accordance with this
subsection 10.10, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable
by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain
its Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be. A certificate
as to any such costs payable pursuant to this subsection 10.10 submitted by an
officer of any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company (on its
own behalf or as agent of the Borrower) shall be conclusive, in the absence of
manifest error.
10.11 Requirements of Law; Changes of Law. (a) In the event that the
adoption of or any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive 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) issued after the
date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i) imposes upon such Lender any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, its Notes, any Letter of Credit, any Application
or any Loan, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of
principal, commitment fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder
(except for (x) income and franchise taxes imposed on such Lender by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by the
jurisdiction of the principal office of such Lender or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or the office of such
Lender from which it is making its Loans or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein, (y) taxes resulting from the
substitution of any such system by another system of taxation, provided
that the taxes payable by such Lender subject to such other system of
taxation are not generally charged to borrowers from such Lender having
loans or advances bearing interest at a rate similar to the
109
Eurodollar Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate or the Local Loan Rate and (z) taxes
imposed by way of deduction or withholding, which shall be exclusively
governed by subsection 10.13);
(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against any Loan made, or
assets held by, or credit extended by, or deposits or other liabilities in
or for the account of, or acquisition of funds by or for the account of,
any office of such Lender, which is not otherwise included in the
determination of the Eurodollar Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate or the Local
Loan Rate, as the case may be, hereunder; or
(iii) imposes on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender
of making, renewing, maintaining or participating in advances or extensions of
credit (including, without limitation, Acceptances) or issuing or participating
in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable by it in respect of its
Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate Loans, then, in any such
case, the relevant Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender any additional
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced
amount receivable as reasonably determined by it with respect to this Agreement
(including, without limitation, its participating interests in Letters of
Credit, Acceptances and Local Loans), its Notes or its Loans after taking into
account any amounts paid or payable pursuant to subsection 10.13(a). If a
Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
subsection 10.11(a), it shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower, through
the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the
foregoing sentence submitted by an officer of a Lender, through the
Administrative Agent, to the relevant Borrower shall be conclusive, in the
absence of manifest error.
(b) In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the
adoption of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or
arising out of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital
Standards or of any Requirement of Law otherwise regarding capital adequacy, or
any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof or
compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or
Governmental Authority, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder
or under any Acceptance or Letter of Credit to a level below that which such
Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking
into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by
an amount which is reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from
time to time, promptly after submission by such Lender, through the
Administrative Agent, to the relevant Borrower of a written request therefor,
such Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
110
(c) The agreements in this subsection 10.11 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans, the Notes, the Drafts,
the Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.12 Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to promptly pay and indemnify
each Lender for, and to hold such Lender harmless from, any loss or expense
which such Lender may sustain or incur in its reemployment of funds obtained in
connection with the making or maintaining of, or converting to, Eurodollar
Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate Loans (including, without limitation,
its participating interests therein) as a consequence of (a) any default by
such Borrower in borrowing such Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Local
Rate Loans after such Borrower has given a notice in respect thereof or (b) any
default by such Borrower in converting (i) Alternate Base Rate Loans to
Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) Eurocurrency Loans to Local Rate
Loans or (iii) Local Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans,
after such Borrower has given a notice in respect thereof or (c) any failure by
such Borrower to prepay Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate
Loans, as the case may be, after such Borrower has given notice in respect
thereof or (e) any payment, prepayment (whether optional or mandatory) or
conversion (whether optional or mandatory) of any Eurodollar Loan or
Eurocurrency Loan (or, to the extent applicable, Local Rate Loan) by such
Borrower on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect
thereto. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the relevant Borrower
agrees to pay to each such Lender an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i)
the amount of interest which otherwise would have accrued on the principal
amount paid, prepaid or not borrowed for (A) the period from the date of such
payment or prepayment to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such
Eurodollar Loan or Eurocurrency Loan (or, to the extent applicable, Local Rate
Loan), as the case may be, or (B) in the case of a failure to borrow or to
convert, the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or Eurocurrency
Loan or Local Rate Loan (or, to the extent applicable, Local Rate Loan), as the
case may be, which would have commenced on the date specified for such
borrowing or conversion, at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar
Loan or Eurocurrency Loan (or, to the extent applicable, Local Rate Loan)
provided for herein (exclusive of any margin applicable thereto) minus (ii) the
interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the relevant
interbank market in respect of such Loan (or, in the case of any Local Rate
Loans, the funding costs of the relevant Fronting Lender) if such Loan were to
be made on the date of such payment, prepayment, failure to borrow or failure
to convert, as the case may be. A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to this subsection 10.12 submitted by an officer of a Lender,
through the Administrative Agent, to the relevant Borrower shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error. The agreements in this subsection 10.12 shall survive
termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans, the Notes, the Drafts,
the Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.13 Taxes. (a) All payments made by each Borrower under this
Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction 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, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent,
the Syndication Agent and each Lender, income and franchise taxes imposed on
the Administrative
111
Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or such Lender by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which it is organized or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by the jurisdiction of
the principal office of the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the
Syndication Agent or such Lender or the office of such Lender from which it is
making its Loans or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein, but not excluding any such tax imposed on or with respect to a
Multi-Currency Lender or an Acquisition Direct Lender that is required to be
withheld by a Fronting Lender or Borrower with respect to any payments due to a
Multi-Currency Lender or an Acquisition Direct Lender, as the case may be, from
such Fronting Lender or Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (all such non-
excluded taxes being called "Taxes"). If any Taxes are required to be withheld
from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent,
the Syndication Agent or any Lender hereunder, under the Notes or in respect of
any Draft or Letter of Credit, the amounts so payable to it shall (without any
obligation on the part of any Borrower to pay such amounts ratably in
accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.16) be increased to the extent
necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the
Syndication Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any
such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified
in this Agreement and the Notes. Whenever any Taxes are payable by a Borrower,
as promptly as possible thereafter, such Borrower shall send to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account or for the account of the
Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or such Lender, as the case may be,
a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof. If
any Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts
or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent and the
Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication
Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this
Section 10.13 all payments made by a Fronting Lender pursuant to this Agreement
shall be treated as if such payments were made by the relevant Borrower.
(b) Except as the Company shall otherwise consent, each Lender hereby
severally (but not jointly) represents that under applicable law and treaties
in effect on the date of this Agreement no United States federal taxes will be
required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent or the Company with respect
to any payments to be made to such Lender in respect of this Agreement. Each
Syndicated Lender which itself is not incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America or a state thereof or which is lending from an office that is
not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state
thereof agrees severally (but not jointly) that it will:
(x) (i) prior to the Closing Date, deliver to the Company and the
Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, or successor applicable
form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Syndicated
Lender is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement, the
Notes and the Drafts payable to it, without deduction or withholding
of any United States federal income taxes;
112
(ii) deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two
further copies of the said Form 1001 or 4224, or successor applicable
form, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or
before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or
after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent form previously delivered by it to the Company; and
(iii) use its best efforts to obtain such extensions or renewals
thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Company, certifying that
such Syndicated Lender is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States
federal income taxes; or
(y) in the case of any Initial Term Loan Lender or Deferred Draw Term
Loan Lender that is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)
of the Code or a "10-percent shareholder" within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (i) represent to the Company (for the benefit of
the Company and the Administrative Agent) that it is not a bank within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or a "10-percent shareholder"
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (ii) agree to
furnish to the Company on or before the date of any payment by the Company,
with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (A) a certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit U-1 hereto (any such certificate a "U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate") and (B) two accurate and complete original signed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, or successor applicable form
certifying to such Term Loan Lender's or such Deferred Draw Term Loan
Lender's, as the case may be, legal entitlement at the date of such
certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions
of Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under
this Agreement (and to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent
two further copies of such form on or before the date it expires or becomes
obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recently provided form and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of
time reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent for
filing and completing such forms), and (iii) agree, to the extent legally
entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Company, to provide to
the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Administrative Agent)
such other forms as may be reasonably required to establish the legal
entitlement of such Term Loan Lender or such Deferred Draw Term Loan
Lender, as the case may be, to an exemption from withholding with respect
to payments under this Agreement (any Term Loan Lender or Deferred Draw
Term Loan Lender which complies with the requirements of this subsection
10.13(b)(y), a "Qualified Foreign Lender");
unless in any such case any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or
directive, or in the interpretation or application thereof, has occurred prior
to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which
renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Syndicated
Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and
such Syndicated Lender advises the Company that it is not capable of receiving
payments
113
without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
Notwithstanding any provision of subsection 10.13(a) to the contrary, the
Company shall have no obligation to pay any amount to or for the account of any
Syndicated Lender on account of any Taxes pursuant to subsection 10.13(a)
(including, without limitation, the second sentence thereof) to the extent that
such amount results from (i) the failure of any Lender to comply with its
obligations pursuant to this subsection 10.13(b) (or, in the case of any
Transferee, pursuant to subsection 17.7(g)) or (ii) any representation or
warranty made or deemed to be made by any Syndicated Lender pursuant to this
subsection 10.13(b) (or, in the case of any Transferee pursuant to subsection
17.7(g)) proving to have been incorrect, false or misleading in any material
respect when so made or deemed to be made.
(c) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable
efforts to change the office in which it is booking its Loans) to avoid or to
minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to subsection
10.11 or this subsection 10.13; provided, however, that such efforts shall not
cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or
regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be material or otherwise be deemed
by such Lender to be disadvantageous to it or contrary to its policies.
(d) In the event that such reasonable efforts pursuant to subsection
10.13(c) are insufficient to avoid all withholding taxes which would be payable
pursuant to this subsection 10.13, then such Lender (the "Taxable Lender")
shall use its best efforts to transfer to any other Lender (which is not
subject to such withholding taxes) its Dollar Loans and its Commitments
hereunder; provided, however, that such transfer shall not be deemed by such
Taxable Lender, in its sole discretion, to be disadvantageous to it or contrary
to its policies. In the event that the Taxable Lender is unable, or otherwise
is unwilling, so to transfer its Dollar Loans and Commitments, the Company may
designate an alternate bank or other financial institution to purchase the
Taxable Lender's Dollar Loans and Commitments and, subject to the approval of
the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld),
the Taxable Lender shall transfer its Dollar Loans and Commitments to such
alternate bank or other financial institution and such alternate bank or other
financial institution shall become a Lender hereunder.
(e) The agreements in this subsection 10.13 shall survive termination
of this Agreement and payment of the Loans, the Notes, the Drafts, the
Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.14 Commitment Fee. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Special L/C Lender, a commitment
fee from and including the Closing Date in the amount equal to the Commitment
Fee Rate on the amount equal to the Special L/C Commitment Percentage of such
Special L/C Lender times the amount equal to the average daily excess of the
Aggregate Special L/C Commitment over the amount of then-outstanding Special
L/C Obligations during the period for which such fee is payable.
(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of each Multi-Currency Lender, a commitment fee from and including the
Closing Date in the amount equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the amount equal
to the Multi-Currency
114
Commitment Percentage of such Multi-Currency Lender times the sum of (i)
average daily Available Multi-Currency Commitment (without reduction for any
amount of Swing Line Loans from time to time outstanding) during the period for
which such fee is payable and (ii) the average daily amount by which the sum of
the Currency Sublimits exceeds the sum of the Equivalent in Dollars (calculated
on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which payment is due) of the
aggregate principal amount of Local Loans and the aggregate, undiscounted face
amount of Acceptances outstanding on each day during the period for which such
fee is payable.
(c) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of each Acquisition Direct Lender, a commitment fee from and including
the Closing Date in the amount equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the amount
equal to (i) the Acquisition Loan Commitment Percentage of such Acquisition
Direct Lender times (ii) the amount by which the average daily amount of the
Aggregate Acquisition Loan Commitment exceeds the amount equal to the sum of
(A) the aggregate principal amount of the Acquisition Loans which are
outstanding in Dollars and (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (calculated on the
last day of the fiscal quarter for which payment is due) of the aggregate
principal amount of Acquisition Loans which are outstanding in Approved
Acquisition Currencies, in each case on each day during the period for which
such fee is payable.
(d) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of each Deferred Draw Term Loan Lender, a commitment fee from and
including the Closing Date in the amount equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on
the amount equal to the Deferred Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentage of such
Deferred Draw Term Loan Lender times the average daily Available Deferred Draw
Term Loan Commitment during the period for which such fee is payable.
(e) Each commitment fee owing pursuant to this subsection 10.14 shall
be payable, in arrears, (x) for each fiscal quarter of the Company (or portion
thereof) following the Closing Date, on the date which is two Business Days
following the last day of each such fiscal quarter (commencing on June 30,
1997); provided, that if the Company shall not have received from the
Administrative Agent the documentation supporting calculations of such
commitment fee prior to such date, then, on the date which is two Business Days
after the date of the Company's receipt from the Administrative Agent of such
supporting documentation and (y) on the last day of the Commitment Period (or,
in the case of the commitment fee owing pursuant to clause (d) of this
subsection 10.14, on the last day of the Deferred Draw Term Loan Commitment
Period).
10.15 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest in respect of the
Alternate Base Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate based upon the Prime Rate,
Letter of Credit commissions and commitment fees shall be calculated on the
basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the actual days
elapsed. Interest in respect of the Local Rate Loans and Acceptances shall be
calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the
actual days elapsed or on such other basis as may be agreed from time to time
by the relevant Fronting Lender and the relevant Borrowers to reflect customary
practices in the relevant jurisdiction. Interest in respect of the Alternate
Base Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate based
115
upon the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Base CD Rate, the Eurodollar Loans
and the Eurocurrency Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
for the actual days elapsed (or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, such other
basis as may be agreed from time to time by the relevant Fronting Lender and
the relevant Borrower to reflect customary practices in the relevant
jurisdiction). The Administrative Agent will, as soon as practicable, notify
the Company and the Syndicated Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar
Rate with respect to Syndicated Loans and of any change in the Alternate Base
Rate with respect to Syndicated Loans and the effective date thereof. Each
Local Fronting Lender will, as soon as practicable, notify the relevant
Borrower and the Administrative Agent of each determination of a Eurocurrency
Rate for its Denomination Currency, of a Eurodollar Rate for its Local Loans
which are Dollar Loans, of any change in the Local Rate for its Denomination
Currency, of any change in the Alternate Base Rate for its Local Loans which
are Dollar Loans and (in each case) the effective date thereof. Each
Acquisition Fronting Lender will, as soon as practicable, notify the relevant
Acquisition Borrower and the Administrative Agent of each determination of a
Eurocurrency Rate or Eurodollar Rate, as the case may be, for its Fronted
Acquisition Loans, of any change therein and (in each case) the effective date
thereof. Any change in the interest rate on a Syndicated Loan which is an
Alternate Base Rate Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate due
to a change in the Prime Rate, Base CD Rate or Federal Funds Effective Rate
shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such
change in the Prime Rate, Base CD Rate or Federal Funds Effective Rate, as the
case may be, shall become effective. Any change in the interest rate on a
Fronted Loan which is an Alternate Base Rate Loan resulting from a change in
the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business in
the jurisdiction of the local lending office of the relevant Fronting Lender on
the day on which such change shall become effective. Any change in the interest
rate on a Local Rate Loan resulting from a change in the Local Rate shall
become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change
in the Local Rate shall become effective. Any change in the interest rate on a
Loan resulting from an increase or decrease in the relevant Applicable Margin
shall become effective as of the relevant Adjustment Date (regardless, in the
case of Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or, to the extent applicable,
Local Rate Loans, of the interest rate determined to be applicable or payable
in respect thereof on the first day of the relevant Interest Period). Any
change in the Letter of Credit commissions resulting from an increase or
decrease in the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Loans shall become
effective as of the next L/C Fee Payment Date for which payment is due in
respect of the relevant Letter of Credit.
(b) Except as set forth in subsection 10.9, each determination of an
interest rate by the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Lender, as the case
may be, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and
binding on the relevant Borrower and the Lenders, in the absence of manifest
error.
(c) If the Multi-Currency Commitment of a Eurocurrency Reference
Lender terminates (otherwise than on termination of the Aggregate Commitment)
or all of its Syndicated Loans are assigned, prepaid or repaid for any reason
whatsoever, such Eurocurrency Reference Lender shall cease to be a Eurocurrency
Reference Lender hereunder and the Administrative Agent (after consultation
with the Company and the affected Lenders) shall, by notice to the
116
Company and such Lenders, designate another Multi-Currency Lender as a
Eurocurrency Reference Lender so that there shall at all times be at least two
Eurocurrency Reference Lenders.
(d) If either of the Eurocurrency Reference Lenders shall be unable or
shall otherwise fail to provide notice of a rate to the Administrative Agent as
contemplated in the definition of "Eurodollar Rate" or "Eurocurrency Rate" in
subsection 1.1, the Eurodollar Rate or Eurocurrency Rate, as the case may be,
that was to be determined in part on the basis of such rate shall be determined

and the Notes which is, and to the payment of any Drafts and Reimbursement
Obligations which are, then due and payable, ratably among the Lenders in

Issuing Lender and each Local Fronting Lender by any Non-Funding Lender
before the application of such amounts to other obligations owing to the
Multi-Currency Lenders pursuant to this clause "fourth" and (y) the
Acquisition Fronting Lenders shall be applied to the ratable payment of all
amounts owing in respect of participating interests that are owed to the
relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender by any Non-Funding Lender before the

each Issuing Lender and each Local Fronting Lender by any Non-Funding
Lender before the application of such amounts to other obligations owing to
the Multi-Currency Lenders pursuant to this clause "second" and (y) the
Acquisition Fronting Lenders shall be applied to the ratable payment of all
amounts owing in respect of participating interests that are owed to the
relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender by any Non-Funding Lender before the
application of such amounts to other obligations owing to the Acquisition
Direct Lenders pursuant to this clause "fourth"); and third, to the payment
of any other Payment Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in accordance
with the aggregate amount owed to each Lender; and any balance shall be
returned to the Company (for its own account or as agent for the relevant
Borrowing Subsidiary);
provided, however, that any payments received on account of a Local Loan or an
Acceptance shall be applied to the payment of principal, interest, fees and
other amounts owing on account of such Local Loan or Acceptance, as the case
may be, with any balance after the payment in full of such Local Loan being (to
the extent permitted under applicable law) applied by the Administrative Agent
to other amounts owing hereunder.
118
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 10.16(b), on any date
when and to the extent that, in the reasonable determination of the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the Borrowers would be able, under
the terms and conditions hereof, to reborrow the amount of such payment (or
otherwise obtain additional extensions of credit) under the Aggregate
Commitment and to satisfy any conditions precedent to such reborrowing (or
other extension of credit), no portion of any such payment shall be distributed
to any Lender (a "Non-Funding Lender") which has (x) failed to make a Loan or
Refunded Swing Line Loan or to purchase (or otherwise make any payment on
account of) any participating interest held by such Non-Funding Lender in any
Reimbursement Obligation, Acceptance or Local Loan or (y) given notice to the
Company, any Fronting Lender or the Administrative Agent that it will not make,
or that it has disaffirmed or repudiated any obligation to make, any Loans or
Refunded Swing Line Loans, or to purchase (or otherwise make any payment on
account of) any participating interest held by such Non-Funding Lender in any
Reimbursement Obligation, Acceptance or Local Loan, in any such case by reason
of the provisions of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement
Act of 1989 or otherwise (other than as the result of a good faith belief that
the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in subsection 12.3 have not
been satisfied).
(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company on
account of principal, interest and fees (other than those relating to Local
Loans and Acceptances) shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall
be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders
(or, in the case of payments on account of Swing Line Loans, to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender) at the office of
the Administrative Agent specified in subsection 17.3, or at such other
location as the Administrative Agent may direct, on or prior to 1:00 P.M., New
York City time, in lawful money of the United States of America (or, in the
case of Acquisition Loans which are denominated in Approved Acquisition
Currencies, in such Approved Acquisition Currency) and in immediately available
funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments in accordance
with the provisions of subsection 10.16(b) promptly upon receipt in like funds
as received; provided that payments received by the Administrative Agent on
account of interest or fees on the Local Loans and Acceptances may be held by
the Administrative Agent and distributed to the Multi-Currency Lenders not less
frequently than weekly.
(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Local
Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees relating to Local Loans and
Acceptances shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to
the Local Fronting Lender to which such amounts are owing at the office of such
Local Fronting Lender specified in Schedule III, or at such other location as
such Local Fronting Lender may direct, on or prior to 1:00 P.M., local time at
the principal lending office of such Local Fronting Lender. Each such payment
shall, to the extent that it is owing on account of Local Loans which are
Dollar Loans, be paid in Dollars and, otherwise, shall be paid in the relevant
Denomination Currency and in immediately available funds. Each Local Fronting
Lender shall give prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of amounts from
time to time received by it hereunder.
(f) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Acquisition
Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees relating to Fronted
Acquisition Loans shall be
119
made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Acquisition
Fronting Lender to which such amounts are owing at the office of such
Acquisition Fronting Lender specified in Schedule III, or at such other
location as such Acquisition Fronting Lender may direct, on or prior to 1:00
P.M., local time at the principal lending office of such Acquisition Fronting
Lender. Each such payment shall, to the extent that it is owing on account of
Fronted Acquisition Loans which are denominated in Dollars, be paid in Dollars
and, otherwise, shall be paid in the relevant Approved Acquisition Currency and
in immediately available funds. Each Acquisition Fronting Lender shall give
prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of repayments of principal from time
to time received by it hereunder.
(g) If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans
or Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and,
with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the
then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment hereunder on a
Eurodollar Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other
than a Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Working Day unless the effect 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 Working Day.
(h) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by
telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Syndicated Lender prior to a borrowing
date that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its
Commitment Percentage of the borrowing to be made on such date available to the
Administrative Agent on such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Syndicated Lender has made such amount available to the
Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available
to the Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such
Syndicated Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount
equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate
during such period as determined by the Administrative Agent times (ii) such
amount times (iii) a fraction of which the numerator is the number of days from
and including such borrowing date to the date on which such amount becomes
immediately available to the Administrative Agent and of which the denominator
is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Syndicated
Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (g) shall be
conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact
made available to the Administrative Agent by such Syndicated Lender within
three Business Days after such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to recover such amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum
then applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder, within eight Business
Days after demand, from the relevant Borrower.
10.17 Payments on Account of Loans and Fees. All payments and
prepayments hereunder shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
subsection 10.16(d) and (e).
10.18 Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of the Interest Act
(Canada), whenever any interest under this Agreement on account of Local Loans,
Acceptances or
120
Acquisition Loans which are made in Canada or made to any Borrowing Subsidiary
which is organized under the laws of Canada or any Province thereof is
calculated using a rate based upon a year of 360 days, such rate determined
pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent
to (x) the applicable rate based upon a year of 360 days, (y) multiplied by the
actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such
interest is payable ends, and (z) divided by 360. The rates of interest
specified in this Agreement are nominal rates and all interest payments and
computations are to be made without allowance or deduction for deemed
reinvestment of interest.
10.19 Converted Acquisition Loans. (a) In the event that any
Acquisition Loan shall be required to be converted into an Alternate Base Rate
Loan pursuant to the provisions of subsection 10.9(a), 10.9(b) or 10.10(a)
(each such Acquisition Loan, a "Converted Acquisition Loan"), such Acquisition
Loan immediately shall be deemed to be repaid to the relevant Acquisition
Lenders in the Approved Acquisition Currency applicable to it and to be
immediately re-borrowed in the Equivalent in Dollars of the amount so repaid.
Any amounts so re-borrowed in Dollars shall be borrowed as Alternate Base Rate
Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the relevant
Acquisition Borrower shall not be required to satisfy the conditions precedent
to borrowing contained in Section 12.3 with respect to such re-borrowing of
Converted Acquisition Loans. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice
to the Acquisition Lenders and to the relevant Acquisition Borrower (with a
copy to the Company, to the extent that it is not the relevant Acquisition
Borrower) of any such conversion.
(b) In the event that the circumstances which caused a Converted
Acquisition Loan to be so converted shall terminate, the relevant Acquisition
Borrower may request that such Converted Acquisition Loan be converted from
Dollars into the Approved Acquisition Currency from which it was originally
converted and such Converted Acquisition Loan shall be so converted into the
Equivalent in such Approved Acquisition Currency (without any requirement that
the conditions precedent to borrowing contained in Section 12.3 be satisfied
with respect to such conversion) on the date which is three Business Days
following the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of such request;
provided that no such conversion from Dollars into the relevant Approved
Acquisition Currency shall be permitted during such time as (i) any Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) the Available
Acquisition Loan Commitment (after giving effect to such conversion) will be
less than zero.
SECTION 11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
In order to induce the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the
Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent to enter into this Agreement and
to make the Loans and to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder,
the Company hereby represents and warrants to each of them that:
11.1 Corporate Existence. Each Borrower is duly organized, validly
existing and (to the extent applicable under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its organization) in good standing
121
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the corporate (or
other requisite legal) power to own its assets and to transact the business in
which it is presently engaged, and is (to the extent applicable under the laws
of the relevant jurisdiction) duly qualified as a foreign corporation and (to
the extent applicable under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction) in good
standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of
property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where
all such failures to so qualify and be in good standing would, in the
aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
11.2 Corporate Power. (a) Each Borrower has the corporate power,
authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, the
Applications, the Notes, the Drafts and the Security Documents to which it is a
party and to borrow hereunder, and it has taken as of the Closing Date all
necessary corporate action to authorize its borrowings on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, the Applications, the Notes, the Drafts and the
Security Documents to which it is a party.
(b) No consent of any other Person (including, without limitation,
stockholders or creditors of any Borrower or of any Parent of the Company), and
no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, or
registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is
required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement, the Applications, the Notes, the Drafts and
the Security Documents to which any Borrower is a party by or against such
Borrower, except for (i) filing of amendments to, and assignments of, the
Mortgages, (ii) any filings required under the Uniform Commercial Code, (iii)
any filings required to be made with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office and the United States Copyright Office, (iv) any filings, notices,
consents, licenses, permits, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
declarations required under the laws of jurisdictions other than the United
States or any political subdivision thereof in connection with the pledge of
stock or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries, (v) with respect to any consent
required or purportedly required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of any Security Document, any such consents the absence of which,
in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on the value of such category of the Collateral and (vi) any consents,
licenses, permits, approvals or authorizations, exemptions, registrations,
filings or declarations that have already been obtained and remain in full
force and effect.
(c) This Agreement has been, and the Notes, the Drafts, the
Applications and the Security Documents to which it is a party will be,
executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of each Borrower. This
Agreement constitutes, and the Notes, the Drafts, the Applications and the
Security Documents to which it is a party, when executed and delivered by it
and the other parties thereto, will constitute, the legal, valid and binding
obligations of each Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with their
respective terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and except as enforceability may be limited by
general principles of equity.
122
11.3 No Legal Bar to Loans. The execution, delivery and performance by
each Borrower of this Agreement, the Notes and the Drafts to which it is a
party, and by each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries of each Security
Document to which it is a party, will not violate any Contractual Obligation
(subject to, with respect to the Yen Credit Agreement, the execution and
delivery by the Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of
the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof) or material
Requirement of Law to which such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a
party, or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any Parent of the Company is a
party or by which such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the best
knowledge of the Company, any Parent of the Company or any of their respective
material properties or assets may be bound, and will not result in the creation
or imposition of any Lien (other than under the Security Documents) on any of
their respective material properties or assets pursuant to the provisions of
any Contractual Obligation.
11.4 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or
administrative proceeding of or before any court, arbitrator or Governmental
Authority is presently pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened
against it, any of its Subsidiaries or Revlon, Revlon Holdings or any Revlon
Holdings Support Party, or any of its or their properties or assets, (a) with
respect to this Agreement, any Note, any Draft, any Security Document, any
Affiliate Subordination Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby, (b) with respect to the validity or enforceability of the
obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
to which it is a party, (c) with respect to the rights of the relevant Issuing
Lender, any L/C Participant, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or
the Administrative Agent with respect to any Application or Letter of Credit,
(d) with respect to the rights of the relevant Local Fronting Lender or the
Multi-Currency Lenders with respect to any Local Loan or Acceptance, (e) with
respect to the rights of the relevant Acquisition Fronting Lender or the
Acquisition Direct Lenders with respect to any Fronted Acquisition Loan or (f)
which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except (in
the case of this clause (f) only) for any litigation, investigation or
administrative proceeding which has been disclosed in writing to the Lenders
prior to the date of this Agreement or which arises out of the same facts and
circumstances, and alleges substantially the same complaints and damages, as
any litigation, investigation or proceeding so disclosed in writing and in
which there has been no material adverse change since the date of such
disclosure.
11.5 No Default. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default
in any material respect in the payment or performance of any material
obligations or in the performance of any Contractual Obligation to which it is
a party or by which it or any of its material properties or assets may be
bound, and no Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing. No Borrower nor
any of its Subsidiaries is in default under any material order, award or decree
of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority binding upon or affecting it
or by which any of its material properties or assets is bound or affected, and
no such order, award or decree would be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
11.6 Ownership of Properties; Liens. Except as is or would be
permitted pursuant to subsection 14.3, each Borrower and its Subsidiaries has
(a) good and marketable title to all its owned, and valid leasehold interests
in all its leased, real property and (b) good title to
123
all its owned, and valid leasehold interests in all its leased, personal
properties and assets, in each case subject to no Lien.
11.7 Taxes. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and, to the
best knowledge of the Company, any other member (as such term is defined in
Treasury Regulations ss.1.1502-1(b)) of the consolidated group (if any) of
which the Company is a member, has timely filed or caused to be timely filed
all material tax returns (including, without limitation, information returns)
which to the knowledge of the Company are required to be filed, and have paid
all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments
made against them (other than those being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves (in accordance with GAAP)
have been provided on the books of such Borrower or such Subsidiary, or other
member of the consolidated group, as the case may be), and no tax Liens which
violate subsection 14.3(a) have been filed. The period within which United
States federal income taxes may be assessed against any Borrower and each of
its Subsidiaries' has expired without further extension or waiver for all
taxable years ending on or before December 31, 1985.
11.8 ERISA. No Reportable Event has occurred during the immediately
preceding six-year period with respect to any Plan that resulted or would be
reasonably likely to result in any unpaid liability that would be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Plan (other than any
Multiemployer Plan or any multiemployer health or welfare plan) has complied
and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. The amount by which the present
value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan maintained by
each Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity (based on then current
assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation date
applicable thereto, exceeds the value of the assets of each such Plan allocable
to such benefits, in the aggregate for all such Plans as to which such present
value of benefits exceeds the value of its assets (the "Unfunded Pension
Amount"), when aggregated with the Potential Withdrawal Liability (as
hereinafter defined), is less than (a) during such time as the Company is under
common control with MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. within the meaning of
Section 4001 of ERISA or is part of a group which includes MacAndrews & Forbes
Holdings Inc. and which is treated as a single employer under Section 414 of
the Code, $60,000,000 and (b) thereafter, the Stand-Alone ERISA Amount. No
Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has during the immediately
preceding six-year period had a complete or partial withdrawal from any
Multiemployer Plan that resulted or would be reasonably likely to result in any
unpaid withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA that would be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the withdrawal
liability under Section 4201 of ERISA to which a Borrower or any Commonly
Controlled Entity would become subject under ERISA if such Borrower or any
Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer
Plans as of the most recent valuation date applicable thereto (the "Potential
Withdrawal Liability"), when aggregated with the Unfunded Pension Amount, is
not in excess of (a) during such time as the Company is under common control
with MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. within the meaning of Section 4001 of
ERISA or is part of a group which includes MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc.
and which is treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code,
$60,000,000 and (b) thereafter, the Stand-Alone
124
ERISA Amount. No Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has received
notice that any Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent where such
Reorganization or Insolvency has resulted, or would be reasonably likely to
result in an unpaid liability that would be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect nor, to the best knowledge of such Borrower, is any
such Reorganization or Insolvency reasonably likely to occur.
11.9 Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of
the Company and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 1996 and the related
audited consolidated statements of operations and stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the fiscal year ended on such date present fairly the consolidated
financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such date, and
the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the fiscal year
then ended. The unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet of the Company
and its Subsidiaries as at March 31, 1997 and the related unaudited
consolidated condensed statements of operations and stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the three-month period ended on such date present fairly the
consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such
date, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the
three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and
the absence of footnotes). All such financial statements, have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP (subject, in the case of the financial statements for the
fiscal period ended March 31, 1997, to normal year-end audit adjustments and
the absence of footnotes) applied consistently throughout the periods presented
except as disclosed in such financial statements or in writing to the Lenders
prior to the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has any material Contingent Obligation or any material obligation,
liability or commitment, direct or contingent (including, without limitation,
any liability for taxes or any material forward or long-term commitment), which
is not (A) reflected in the foregoing statements or otherwise disclosed in
writing to the Lenders prior to the date hereof or (B) permitted to be incurred
under this Agreement.
11.10 No Change. Since December 31, 1996, there has been no material
adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
performance, properties or prospects of either of (a) Revlon or (b) the Company
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
11.11 Federal Regulations. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is
engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in
the business of extending credit for the purpose of "purchasing" or "carrying"
any "margin stock" within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms
under Regulation U or G of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. No part of the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit
hereunder will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions of
Regulation G, T, U or X of said Board of Governors. In the event that any part
of the proceeds of the extensions of credit hereunder are used to "purchase" or
"carry" any such "margin stock," the Company will (and will cause its
Subsidiaries to) provide such documents and information (including, without
limitation, duly completed and executed originals of Federal Reserve Form U-1)
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as the Administrative Agent
reasonably may request in order to evidence that the representations and
warranties contained in this subsection 11.11 remain true and correct in all
material respects.
125
11.12 Not an "Investment Company". No Borrower, nor any Guarantor,
Pledgor or Grantor is an "investment company" within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
11.13 Matters Relating to Subsidiaries. Set forth in Schedule IV is a
complete and accurate list showing all Subsidiaries of Revlon Holdings (other
than National Health Care Group, Inc. and its Subsidiaries) as of the date of
this Agreement.
11.14 Pledge Agreements. (a) Each Pledge Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor party thereto, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general
equitable principles.
(b) Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of the stock
certificates evidencing the Pledged Stock of which the issuer is a corporation
organized under the laws of any jurisdiction within the United States, the
security interests granted pursuant to the Pledge Agreements will constitute a
valid, perfected first priority security interest on such Pledged Stock (except
with respect to the Pledged Stock of CCI, with respect to which such priority
shall be as described in the Intercreditor Agreement), enforceable as such
against all creditors of the respective Pledgor and any Persons purporting to
purchase any such Pledged Stock from the respective Pledgor.
(c) Except as set forth in the legal opinions provided to the
Administrative Agent by counsel in the relevant jurisdictions pursuant to
subsection 12.1(p)(vi) or subsection 13.11, the security interests in the
capital stock or other equity interests of each Directly Pledged Subsidiary
that is a Foreign Subsidiary granted pursuant to the Pledge Agreements will
constitute a valid, perfected first priority security interest on such Pledged
Stock (to the extent applicable under the relevant local laws or otherwise
reasonably acceptable to the Agents), enforceable as such against all creditors
of the respective Pledgor and any Persons purporting to purchase any such
Pledged Stock from the respective Pledgor.
11.15 Security Agreements. (a) Each Security Agreement (other than any
Security Agreement to which a Borrowing Subsidiary is a party) constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Grantor party thereto, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general
equitable principles.
(b) Except with respect to the Collateral located in any facility
which is not owned or leased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with
respect to which no filing is required pursuant to subsection 11.30(b), upon
filing by the Administrative Agent of (i) the financing statements listed on
Schedule XI hereto (and, after the Closing Date, any additional filings
required to be made pursuant to the Credit Documents), (ii) any filings
required with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and (iii) any
filings required with the United States
126
Copyright Office, the security interests granted pursuant to the Security
Agreements (other than any Security Agreement to which a Borrowing Subsidiary
is a party) will constitute a valid, perfected first priority security interest
on the Collateral (as defined therein), enforceable as such against all
creditors of any Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any such
Collateral from any Grantor (except purchasers of Inventory in the ordinary
course of business).
11.16 Security Documents of Borrowing Subsidiaries. (a) Each Security

accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable
principles.
(b) Except as set forth in the legal opinions provided to the
Administrative Agents by counsel in the relevant jurisdictions pursuant to
subsection 12.1(p)(vi) or subsection 13.12, as the case may be, the security
interests granted pursuant to each Security Document to which a Borrowing
Subsidiary is a party constitute valid, perfected first priority security
interests on the collateral security provided pursuant thereto (to the extent
that the concept of "perfection" is applicable pursuant to applicable local
law), enforceable as such against all creditors of such Borrowing Subsidiary
and any Persons purporting to purchase any such collateral security from any
Pledgor.
11.17 Mortgages. Each Mortgage is effective to grant a legal, valid
and enforceable mortgage lien on all of the mortgagor's right, title and
interest in the Mortgaged Property thereunder. When each Mortgage is duly
recorded in the office or offices listed on Schedule I to such Mortgage and the
mortgage recording fees and taxes in respect thereof are paid and compliance is
otherwise had with the formal requirements of state law applicable to the
recording of real estate mortgages generally, such Mortgage shall constitute a
fully perfected, first-priority lien on and security interest in such Mortgaged
Property, subject only to the encumbrances and exceptions to title expressly
set forth therein and except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.
11.18 Guarantees. The provisions of each Guarantee are effective to

equitable principles.
127
11.20 Intellectual Property. The Company or a Subsidiary thereof owns,
or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents,
technology, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as
currently conducted that are material to the business, condition (financial or
otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Company and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (the "Intellectual Property"). Except as has
been disclosed to the Lenders in writing prior to the date hereof, no claim has
been asserted and is pending by any Person with respect to the use of any such
Intellectual Property, or challenging or questioning the validity or
effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, and neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries knows of any valid basis for any such claim, nor does
the use of such Intellectual Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries
infringe on the rights of any Person, except (in each case) to the extent that
such claims and infringements which would not (including, without limitation,
any liability arising therefrom), in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
11.21 Solvency. (a) The aggregate value of all of the assets of the
Company on a consolidated and an unconsolidated basis, at a fair valuation,
exceeds the total liabilities of the Company on a consolidated and an
unconsolidated basis (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and
unliquidated liabilities). The Company has the ability to pay its debts as they
mature and it does not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct
its business. For purposes of this subsection 11.21, the "fair valuation" of
such assets shall be determined on the basis of that amount which may be
realized within a reasonable time, in any manner through realization of the
value of or dispositions of such assets at the regular market value, conceiving
the latter as the amount which could be obtained for the property in question
within such period by a capable and diligent business person from an interested
buyer who is willing to purchase under ordinary selling conditions.
(b) Each Borrower is in compliance with all material Requirements of
Law applicable to it with respect to capitalization and, to the knowledge of
the Company or such Borrowing Subsidiary, has sufficient capital with which to
conduct its business in accordance with past practice. No Borrower is
undercapitalized to such an extent that, solely as a result of such
undercapitalization, (i) any Lender would be deemed under the laws of the
relevant jurisdiction to owe a fiduciary duty to any other creditor of such
Borrower or (ii) the Local Loans made or the Acceptances created by the
relevant Local Fronting Lender or the Acquisition Loans made by the relevant
Acquisition Lenders (as the case may be) to such Borrower would be subordinated
to any obligations of such Borrower owing to any other Person.
11.22 Environmental Matters. (a) Except as set forth in Schedule XII
hereto, and except to the extent provided in subsection (b) hereof:
(i) To the best knowledge of the Company, the Mortgaged Properties do

contamination which could materially interfere with the continued operation
of the Mortgaged Properties or materially impair the fair saleable value
thereof;
(iii) None of Revlon Holdings, any Revlon Holdings Support Party, the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has received, or is aware of, any
existing or contemplated notice of violation or advisory action by any
regulatory agency regarding environmental control matters or permit
compliance with regard to the Mortgaged Properties;
(iv) To the best knowledge of the Company, Hazardous Materials have
not been transferred from the Mortgaged Properties to any other location in
violation of any applicable Environmental Laws; and

under any applicable Environmental Laws to which Revlon Holdings, any
Revlon Holdings Support Party, the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company
or any mortgagor is or will be named as a party with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties.
(b) To the best knowledge of the Company, each of the representations
and warranties set forth in subsection 11.22(a) are true and correct with
respect to each parcel of real property owned or operated by Revlon Holdings,
any Revlon Holdings Support Party, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
except to the extent that the facts and circumstances giving rise to any such
failure to be so true and correct would not be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
11.23 Models. (a) The financial models and pro forma financial
statements referenced in subsection 12.1(u), together with any notes thereto,
were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein,
which assumptions were reasonable in light of conditions existing at the time
of delivery of such models and pro forma financial statements, and represented,
at the time of delivery, the Company's best estimate of its future financial
performance.
(b) After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries will have recorded assets and
liabilities substantially similar to the recorded assets and liabilities
contemplated for such date by the pro forma balance sheet referenced in
subsection 12.1(u).
(c) The financial models (if any) relating to the Company and provided
to each Lender pursuant to subsection 13.1(b), together with any notes thereto,
were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein,
which assumptions were reasonable in light
129
of conditions existing at the time of delivery of such models and represented,
at the time of delivery, the Company's best estimate of its future financial
performance.
11.24 Disclosure. No information, schedule, exhibit or report or other
document furnished by the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to the

Documents, as such information, schedule, exhibit or report or other document
has been amended, supplemented or superseded by any other information,
schedule, exhibit or report or other document later delivered to the same
parties receiving such information, schedule, exhibit or report or other
document, contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a
material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein,
in light of the circumstances when made, not materially misleading.
11.25 Senior Indebtedness. The obligations of the Company for the
payment of principal and interest under this Agreement and the Loans, the
Drafts and the Notes, and the obligations of the Company in respect of
Reimbursement Obligations, constitute "Senior Indebtedness" for purposes of the
Subordinated Notes.
11.26 Regulation H. No Mortgaged Property is located in an area that
has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an
area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made

creation of an Acceptance) shall constitute a representation and warranty by
the Company and (to the extent that such Borrower is
138
not the Company) such Borrower, as of the date of such borrowing or other
extension of credit, that the conditions contained in paragraphs (a) and (b) of

(Parent) ceases to have any significant Indebtedness, Revlon and its
Subsidiaries) as either Agent, or any Lender acting through the
Administrative Agent, may from time to time reasonably request.
13.3 Payment of Obligations. The Company will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity
or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all its Indebtedness and
other material obligations of whatever nature, except when the amount or
validity thereof is then being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and reserves with respect thereto to the extent, if any, required
by GAAP have been provided on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary, as
the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing
sentence, the Company shall not be in default under this subsection 13.3 unless

its Subsidiaries have so failed to pay, discharge or satisfy before they become
delinquent and which remain delinquent at the time of determination is more
than $5,000,000 (or, with respect to any other currency, the Equivalent
thereof) in the aggregate.
13.4 Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence. Except as
permitted by this Agreement, the Company will continue to engage in business of

Agreement, the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and
take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges and franchises
necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except as
otherwise permitted pursuant to subsections 14.5 and 14.6, and comply with all
Contractual Obligations and Requirements of Law except to the extent that all
failures to comply therewith would not in the aggregate, be reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company will not make any material
change in its present method of conducting business. The Company will cause
each of its Subsidiaries which is a Directly Pledged Subsidiary on the Closing
Date to engage primarily in
141
no business other than the business of developing, manufacturing, distributing
and/or selling (including marketing and advertising) beauty, skin care,
fragrance, personal care and/or related products (or of holding properties
incidental to such businesses).
13.5 Maintenance of Property; Insurance. The Company will, and will
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) keep all property useful and necessary
in its business in good working order and condition, except where the failure
to do so would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect and (b) maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance
companies insurance on such of its property and against such liabilities in at
least such amounts and against at least such risks as are customarily insured
against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar
business and furnish to the Agents, upon written request, and to each Lender
which makes a written request through the Administrative Agent, reasonable
information as to the insurance carried.
13.6 Inspection of Property; Books and Records; Discussions. The
Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) keep proper books

relation to its businesses and activities and which shall permit the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and (b) permit
representatives of any Lender or any Agent to visit and inspect such of its
properties during normal business hours as such Lender reasonably may request
through the Administrative Agent or such Agent reasonably may request and
(during such visit or inspection, or otherwise upon request through the
Administrative Agent) examine and make abstracts from such of its books and
records as it may reasonably request at any reasonable time and as often as may
reasonably be desired, and to discuss the business, condition (financial or
otherwise), performance, properties and prospects of the Company and its
Subsidiaries with officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries
and with its then independent certified public accountants.
13.7 Notices. The Company will promptly give notice to the Agents and
each Lender, through the Administrative Agent:
(a) of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;
(b) of any default or event of default by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries under any Contractual Obligation of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or the institution of, or the occurrence of any material
adverse change, in the status or likely result of, any litigation,

or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the best of its knowledge, to any other
Person under, any Environmental Laws which would be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect;
(e) of any of the following events, as soon as possible, and in any
event, within 30 days after the Company knows or has reason to know

Insolvency) would be reasonably likely to result in liability to the
Company and the Guarantors, in the aggregate, in excess of $1,000,000;
(f) of a material adverse change in the business, condition (financial
or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or of any event which would
be reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the ability of the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to perform the obligations of
the Borrowers under the Credit Documents;
(g) solely during the period that the Sinking Fund Debentures remain
outstanding, of the acquisition or construction, or of the commencement of
construction, of any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
which is, or upon completion will be, a "Principal Property" and of any
other property of the Company or of its Subsidiaries for any reason
becoming or being designated as a "Principal Property" (as such term may be

such Restricted Payment.
Each notice pursuant to this subsection 13.7 shall be accompanied by a
statement of a Responsible Officer of the Company setting forth details of the
occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the Company proposes to
take with respect thereto.
13.8 Maintenance of Corporate Identity. The Company will operate its
businesses, and will cause its Subsidiaries to operate their respective
businesses, and maintain their records, independently from any Person (a
"Parent") which, directly or indirectly, is in control (as defined in Rule
12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company and
independently from any Subsidiary of such Parent other than the Company and its
Subsidiaries; and the Company will maintain bank accounts separate from the
bank accounts of each Parent of the Company and act solely in its own corporate
name and through its own authorized officers and agents.
13.9 Environmental Laws. The Company will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to:
(a) Comply with and require compliance by all tenants and subtenants,
if any, with all Environmental Laws and obtain and comply in all material
respects with and maintain, and require that all tenants and subtenants
obtain and comply with and maintain, any and all licenses, approvals,
registrations or permits required by Environmental Laws, except to the
extent that the failure to do so would not be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Conduct and complete all investigations, studies, sampling and
testing, and all remedial, removal and other actions required under
Environmental Laws and promptly comply in all material respects with all
lawful orders and directives of all Governmental Authorities respecting
Environmental Laws, except (i) to the extent that the failure to perform
any of the obligations contained in this clause (b) would not be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) to the extent that such
obligations are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and the pendency of such proceedings would not be reasonably likely to have
a Material Adverse Effect; and
(c) Defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the
Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders,
and their respective employees, agents, officers and directors, from and
against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements,
damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown,
contingent or otherwise, arising out of, or in any way relating to the
violation of or noncompliance with any Environmental Laws by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, or any orders, requirements or demands of
Governmental Authorities related thereto, including without limitation
reasonable attorney and consultant fees, investigation and laboratory fees,
court costs and litigation
144
expenses, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arise out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification
therefor.
13.10 Additional Guarantees. The Company will from time to time cause
each Domestic Subsidiary thereof which has not previously done so to execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Subsidiaries Guarantee, substantially
in the form of Exhibit G-1. Each such Subsidiaries Guarantee shall be
accompanied by such resolutions, incumbency certificates and legal opinions as
are reasonably requested by either Agent and are in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
13.11 Additional Stock Pledges. (a) The Company will, and will cause
each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to, pledge to the Administrative Agent 100%
of the issued and outstanding capital stock or other equity interests (other
than directors' qualifying shares) of each Domestic Subsidiary of the Company
which has not previously been pledged hereunder. Such pledge shall be granted
pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit F-2 or G-2, as the case may be.
(b) The Company will, and will cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries
to, pledge to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the laws of the
jurisdiction of organization of the issuer thereof 66% (rounded downward to
eliminate any fraction of a share) of the issued and outstanding shares of each
class of capital stock or other ownership interests entitled to vote (within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations ss.1.956-2(c)(2)) ("Voting Stock") and 100%
of the issued and outstanding shares of each class of capital stock or other
ownership interests not entitled to vote (within the meaning of such
Regulation) ("Non-Voting Stock") of each first-tier Foreign Subsidiary of the
Company which (in each case) is owned of record by the Company or such Domestic
Subsidiary and which has not previously been pledged hereunder. Each such
pledge shall be granted pursuant to a Pledge Agreement in such form as (x) may
be reasonably required in order to perfect a security interest in the Pledged
Stock delivered thereto under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the issuer
of such Pledged Stock is organized and (y) is in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless
either the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall at any time
otherwise reasonably request, no such pledge shall be required pursuant to this
subsection 13.11(b) with respect to the capital stock or other equity interests
of any first-tier Foreign Subsidiary listed on Schedule IV which is not pledged
on the Closing Date or is acquired or formed after the date hereof and either
(A) is listed on Schedule IV as being slated for dissolution or (B) does not
have assets in excess of $5,000,000 (or, with respect to any other currency,
the Equivalent thereof).
(c) The Company will, and will cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries
to, pledge to the Administrative Agent pursuant to a Generic Pledge Agreement
66% (rounded downward to eliminate any fraction of a share) of the issued and
outstanding shares of each class of capital stock or other ownership interests
entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations ss.1.956-2(c)(2))
("Voting Stock") and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of each class of
capital stock or other ownership interests not entitled to vote (within the
meaning of such Regulation) ("Non-Voting Stock") of each first-tier Foreign
Subsidiary of the Company
145
which (in each case) is owned of record by the Company or such Domestic
Subsidiary and (except to the extent pledged pursuant to subsection 13.11(b),
which shall not impair the requirement that a pledge complying with this
subsection 13.11(c) also be granted) which has not previously been pledged
hereunder. Each such pledge shall be granted pursuant to a Generic Pledge
Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F-3 or G-3, as the case may be.
(d) Each Pledge Agreement required to be executed and delivered
pursuant to this subsection 13.11 shall be promptly executed and delivered
after the organization, acquisition or identification of any such Subsidiary or
first-tier Foreign Subsidiary and shall be accompanied by share certificates
evidencing the Pledged Stock thereunder (to the extent that such Pledged Stock
is certificated), together with an undated stock power for each such share
certificate (duly executed in blank and delivered by a duly authorized officer
of the Pledgor of the Pledged Stock represented by such certificate). Each
Pledge Agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this subsection 13.11
(other than any Generic Pledge Agreement) shall be accompanied by (i) in the
case of the pledge of capital stock or other ownership interests of any Foreign
Subsidiary, evidence of the taking of all such other actions as may be
necessary or appropriate for the perfection and first priority of such pledge,
and (ii) in the case of any Subsidiary, such resolutions, incumbency
certificates and legal opinions as are reasonably requested by the Agents or
the Administrative Agent and shall otherwise be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Each Borrowing Subsidiary in the United Kingdom and Canada which
is designated as such after the date hereof will pledge to the Administrative
Agent 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock or other ownership
interests (other than directors' qualifying shares) of each direct Subsidiary
of such Borrowing Subsidiary which has not previously been pledged hereunder
(except to the extent that the Agents, in their reasonable judgment, determine
that the transaction costs, regulatory burdens and operational restrictions
resulting from such pledge are not justified by the value of the capital stock
to be pledged). Each such pledge shall be granted pursuant to a Pledge
Agreement in such form as (x) may be reasonably required in order to perfect a
security interest in the Pledged Stock delivered thereto under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the issuer of such Pledged Stock is organized and (y) is
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each pledge granted pursuant to this subsection
13.11(e) shall secure only the obligations of such Local Subsidiary on account
of the Local Loans and Acceptances made to it.
(f) In the event that there shall be a change in law that
substantially eliminates the adverse tax consequences to the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries that would have resulted on the date hereof from the pledge of
more than 66-2/3% of the Voting Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary, the Company
will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) pledge such additional
amount of shares of such Voting Stock (with respect to each Foreign Subsidiary
the Voting Stock of which then is pledged hereunder) and (ii) notwithstanding
the provisions of subsection 13.11(b) and (c), pledge the maximum amount of
shares of such Voting Stock (with respect to each Foreign Subsidiary the Voting
Stock of which is pledged thereafter), in each case which can be so pledged
without the incurrence of adverse tax consequences and take or cause to be
taken such further action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request
(including,
146
without limitation, the delivery of legal opinions) in order to perfect its
security interest in such stock.
13.12 Additional Security Agreements. (a) The Company will cause each
of its Domestic Subsidiaries which has not previously done so to execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent a Subsidiary Security Agreement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4, and (to the extent applicable) any
Intellectual Property Security Agreements and to take such other action as
reasonably shall be necessary or as the Administrative Agent reasonably shall
request to grant to the Administrative Agent a first priority perfected
security interest in all collateral described in such Security Agreement
(subject to any Liens contemplated by subsection 14.3(l)). Each such Security
Agreement shall be accompanied by such evidence of the taking of all actions as
may be necessary or appropriate for the perfection and first priority of such
security interest (including, without limitation, the filing of any necessary
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) and such resolutions, incumbency
certificates and legal opinions as are reasonably requested by the Agents or
the Administrative Agent, all of which shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(b) Each Borrowing Subsidiary in the United Kingdom and Canada which
is designated as such after the date hereof will take such action as reasonably
shall be necessary or as the Administrative Agent reasonably shall request to
grant to the Administrative Agent a first priority, perfected security interest
in all material accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and
equipment of such Borrowing Subsidiary (except to the extent that (i) such
assets are subject on the date hereof to Liens which are permitted under
subsection 14.3, in which case no such security interests need be granted
pursuant to this clause (b) while such existing Liens, and the Indebtedness
secured thereby on the date hereof, remain in effect, or (ii) the Agents, in
their reasonable judgment, determine that the transaction costs, regulatory
burdens and operational restrictions resulting from such grant are not
justified by the value of the assets to be encumbered). Each such security
interest shall be granted pursuant to a Security Agreement in such form as (x)
may be reasonably required in order to perfect a security interest in the
relevant assets pledged pursuant thereto and (y) is in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each security interest granted pursuant to this subsection 13.12(b)
shall secure only the obligations of such Borrowing Subsidiary on account of
the Local Loans and Acceptances made to it.
13.13 Asset Transfers. (a) The Company will grant to the
Administrative Agent a first priority, perfected security interest (subject to
any Liens thereon which are permitted to encumber the relevant asset pursuant
to subsection 14.3) in all properties and assets (whether tangible or
intangible) of a type that constitutes Collateral under (and as defined in) any
Security Agreement or Pledge Agreement to which the Company or any of its
Domestic Subsidiaries is a party which are sold, transferred, conveyed or
otherwise distributed to the Company (including, without limitation, by way of
merger or consolidation) from any of its Subsidiaries simultaneously with the
effectiveness of such sale, transfer, conveyance or other distribution.
(b) Each Domestic Subsidiary of the Company will take such action from
time to time as is necessary (or otherwise reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent) to ensure
147
that the Administrative Agent at all times holds a perfected security interest
in all Collateral under (and as defined in) the Security Documents.
13.14 Intellectual Property. (a) The Company will, and will cause each
of its Domestic Subsidiaries to, take such action as is necessary (or as
otherwise is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) in order to
grant to the Administrative Agent a first priority, perfected security interest
in any copyright registration in which the Company or any of its Domestic
Subsidiaries may from time to time obtain any interest. Such security interest
shall be granted pursuant to a Copyright Security Agreement (substantially in
the form of the Copyright Security Agreement delivered on the date hereof) or
such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent which is in
proper form for recordation in the United States Copyright Office.
(b) The Company will, to the extent permitted by Title 15 of the
United States Code, submit, and will cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to
submit, to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for registration or
recordation, as applicable:
(i) a completed application for trademark registration, in such class
or classes as is in conformity with its ordinary business practice then
obtaining, of each Trademark acquired or adopted and used or intended to be
used by it, with respect to any xxxx which, in the Company's reasonable
judgment, is a Significant Trademark; provided that within 30 days after
receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, the Company shall, or
shall cause the applicable Domestic Subsidiary to, submit to the United
States Patent and Trademark Office for registration a completed application
for trademark registration, in such class or classes as is in conformity
with its ordinary business practice then obtaining, of any Trademark
acquired or adopted and used or intended to be used by it, with respect to
any xxxx which the Required Lenders reasonably deem to be of such
significance as to require the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary to take
such steps as may be necessary or desirable to grant to the Administrative
Agent a perfected, first priority security interest in such Trademark to
the extent that it has any ownership interest in such Trademark which is
registerable by it under trademark or other applicable law; and
(ii) with respect to any interest acquired after the date hereof by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a Significant Trademark, any
appropriate assignment to the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary of the
interest acquired by it in the United States in such Significant Trademark,
including, without limitation, all previously unrecorded assignments to the
Company's or such Domestic Subsidiary's predecessors-in-interest of which
the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary is or becomes aware.
The Company will, and will cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to, use its
respective best efforts to comply with all requirements of the Xxxxxx Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder, as from time to time in effect, or other
applicable law necessary in order to validly register and maintain the
registration of any such Significant Trademark with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office, except as permitted pursuant to subsections 13.4, 14.5
and 14.6
148
hereof. The Company will submit, and will cause each of its Domestic
Subsidiaries to submit, to the Administrative Agent, by each January 31 and
July 31 of each year following the Closing Date, commencing January 31, 1998
(or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably so requests in writing, more often;
provided that, except during such time as a Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not so request more
frequently than monthly), a document confirming the security interest of the
Administrative Agent in any Trademark acquired or with respect to which the
Company or any Domestic Subsidiary filed an application for trademark
registration during the two prior calendar quarters, duly executed and in
proper form for recordation in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
(c) The Company will, to the extent permitted by Title 35 of the
United States Code, submit, and will cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to
submit, to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for issuance or
recordation, as applicable:
(i) an application for letters patent for each patentable invention
acquired by or invented by or for it which invention is of such a nature
that the Company or its Subsidiaries in accordance with its ordinary
business practice then obtaining would file an patent application in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office with respect to it; and
(ii) with respect to any interest acquired after the date hereof by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a Patent, any appropriate
assignment to the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary of the interest
acquired by it in the United States in such Patent, including, without
limitation, all previously unrecorded assignments to the Company's or such
Domestic Subsidiary's predecessors-in-interest of which the Company or any
Domestic Subsidiary is or becomes aware.
The Company will, and will cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to, use its
respective best efforts to comply with all requirements of the United States
Patent Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, as from time to time in
effect, or other applicable law necessary in order to validly obtain and
maintain any Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, except
as permitted pursuant to subsections 13.4, 14.5 and 14.6 hereof. The Company
will submit, and will cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to submit, to the
Administrative Agent, by each January 31 and July 31 of each year following the
Closing Date, commencing January 31, 1998 (or, if the Administrative Agent
reasonably so requests in writing, more often; provided that, except during
such time as a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall not so request more frequently than monthly), a
document confirming the security interest of the Administrative Agent in any
Patent acquired or with respect to which the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary
filed an application for letters patent during the two prior calendar quarters,
duly executed and in proper form for recordation in the United States Patent
and Trademark Office.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
subsection 13.14, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have the right to
license their respective Patents and Trademarks to third parties on an arms'
length basis (and, during such time as no Default or
149
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to retain the proceeds
thereof); provided, except with respect to Trademarks and Patents which
constitute Disposition Assets or with respect to which the only substantial use
by the Company and its Subsidiaries is in connection with a business
constituting a Disposition Asset, that any such license of (i) a Trademark
shall be for use with respect to products which are not reasonably likely to be
competitive with those produced and/or marketed by the Company and its
Subsidiaries and (ii) a Patent shall be for applications which would not be
reasonably likely to diminish the value of any product line of the Company and
its Subsidiaries. Each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees
that any security interest held by the Administrative Agent in any Patent or
Trademark which is licensed in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection 13.14(d) shall be subordinate to such license agreement and each
Lender hereby instructs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such
instruments, documents and agreements as the Company reasonably may request in
order to confirm such subordination.

account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount of cash in Dollars equal
170
to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount thereof (or, with respect to
the Operating Letters of Credit, the Operating L/C Deposit Requirement in
effect at such time). Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent (in such order as it shall elect) to the
payment of the Payment Obligations on account of the Benefited Facilities which
are then or thereafter due and payable and to cause any then-outstanding
Undrawn L/C Obligations to be Fully Secured. Following the payment of all such
Payment Obligations and the termination of all Letters of Credit, any balance
remaining in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Company.
Except as expressly provided above in this Section 15, presentment,
demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.
SECTION 16. THE AGENTS
16.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints Chase (and any successors thereto who are appointed in accordance with
the provisions of subsection 16.10) as the Administrative Agent under the
Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints
Citibank as the Documentation Agent under the Credit Documents. Each Lender
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Xxxxxx as the Syndication Agent
under the Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Chase
(and any such successors thereto), as the Administrative Agent for such Lender,
Citibank, as the Documentation Agent for such Lender, and Xxxxxx, as the
Syndication Agent for such Lender, to take such action, in the Administrative
Agent's, the Documentation Agent's or the Syndication Agent's discretion, as
the case may be, on its behalf under the provisions of the Credit Documents and
to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to
the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent, as
the case may be, by the terms of the Credit Documents, together with such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Chase hereby accepts its
appointment as the Administrative Agent and the authorization set forth above.
Citibank hereby accepts its appointment as the Documentation Agent and the
authorization set forth above. Xxxxxx hereby accepts its appointment as the
Syndication Agent and the authorization set forth above. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in the Credit Documents, neither the Administrative
Agent, the Documentation Agent nor the Syndication Agent shall have any duties
or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in the Credit Documents,
nor any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into the Credit Documents or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent,
the Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent in such capacity. Except as
otherwise set forth in this Agreement or in the Security Documents, the duties
of the Administrative Agent with respect to the collateral provided pursuant to
the Security Documents shall terminate upon termination of the Commitments
under this Agreement and (x) if a Notice of an Actionable Event has been
delivered and remains in effect, on the Termination Date (as defined in the
Collateral Agency Agreements) and (y) if no such Notice of an Actionable Event
remains in effect, on the date upon which the Payment Obligations have been
Fully Satisfied; provided that nothing contained herein shall impair the rights
of the Administrative Agent to any indemnity, which rights shall survive
171
the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of all amounts owing
to the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent,
the Arranger and the Lenders under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree that
the Co-Agents shall have no rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities in
their respective capacities as such and that no Co-Agent shall have the
authority to take any action hereunder in its capacity as such.
16.2 Consultation with Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall consult with each of the Documentation Agent and the
Syndication Agent with respect to any material issues related to the Borrowers
or any material provision under this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
any amendment or waiver pursuant to subsection 17.1.
16.3 Delegation of Duties. Each of the Agents may execute any of its
respective duties under the Credit Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. None of the Agents shall be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it
with reasonable care.
16.4 Exculpatory Provisions. None of either Agent, the Arranger, the
Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Fronting Lender, nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates, shall be (a) liable to any of the Lenders for any action lawfully
taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with
the Credit Documents (except for its or such Person's own gross negligence or
willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for
any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or
any officer thereof contained in the Credit Documents or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received
by it under or in connection with, the Credit Documents or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the
Credit Documents (other than with respect to its own due execution and delivery
thereof) or the perfection of any security interest contemplated thereby or for
any failure of any party thereto (other than such Agent in such capacity) to
perform its obligations thereunder. None of either Agent, the Arranger, the
Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Fronting Lender shall 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, the Credit
Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any party to any
thereof.
16.5 Reliance by the Agents. Each of the Agents, the Arranger and each
Lender (including, without limitation, the Swing Line Lender, each Fronting
Lender and each Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, 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 the
proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent
accountants and other experts selected by such Agent or Arranger, as the
172
case may be. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note
or on account of any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a
written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been
filed with it (in its capacity as such). Each Agent and the Arranger shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Credit
Document unless it shall have received such advice or concurrence of the
Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall have been expressly
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders or, at its option, the Required
Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it
by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action (except that no such
indemnification need include any indemnification for any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Agent or the Arranger, as the case may be). Each Agent, the
Arranger and each Lender (including, without limitation, the Swing Line Lender,
each Fronting Lender and each Issuing Lender), and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the
Credit Documents upon advice of counsel or in accordance with a request of the
Required Lenders (except in cases in which a greater number of Lenders is
required, in which case the Agents, the Arranger and each Lender, and their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates, shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, under the Credit Documents in accordance with a request of such
Lenders), and such request, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto, shall be binding upon all Lenders and all future holders of the Loans
and the Notes.
16.6 Notice of Default. None of the Agents shall be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless
the Administrative Agent has 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 receives any such notice, it shall promptly give notice
thereof to each of the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent (in such
capacity) and to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action
with respect to any Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed
by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have received any such directions, it 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.
16.7 Non-Reliance on the Agents, the Arranger and the Other Lenders.
Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents, nor the Arranger,
nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, has made any representations or warranties to
such Lender and that no act by such Lender hereinafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any
of the foregoing, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty
by the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or
the Arranger to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has or
will, independently and without reliance upon the either Agent, the Arranger or
any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
or will deem appropriate, made and will make its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and
173
creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and made
and will make its own decision to make its Loans and other extensions of credit
and enter into the Credit Documents to which it is or will be a party. Each
Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon
either Agent or the Arranger 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 the Credit 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 Company and its Subsidiaries
and Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that no action on the part of either
Agent or the Arranger shall relieve such Lender from performing its own credit
analysis and making its own determination prior to, and from time to time
after, its entering into this Agreement with respect to the nature of the
transaction contemplated hereby and assuming any risks or disadvantages to it
that may arise out of any such determination. Except for notices, reports and
other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders, or obtained,
by the Agents or the Arranger, as the case may be, under the Credit Documents,
the Agents and the Arranger in such respective capacities shall have no duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates which may
come into the possession of either of them or the possession of any of their
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. The
Administrative Agent hereby agrees that, promptly following the Closing Date,
it will provide to each Lender a copy of each of the documents required to be
furnished by the Company to the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date
pursuant to subsection 12.1.
16.8 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agents, the
Co-Agents and the Arranger (in their respective capacities as such), the
Special L/C Lenders agree to indemnify the Issuing Lender with respect to
Special Letters of Credit and the Multi-Currency Lenders agree to indemnify the
Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lender with respect to Operating Letters of
Credit and each Fronting Lender (in their respective capacities as such), and
(in any such case) their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, to the extent not reimbursed by the Company
and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so, ratably according
to the respective amounts of their pro rata shares of the Aggregate Commitment
at the time of occurrence of the event giving rise to such claim for indemnity,
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, legal fees and disbursements,
but other than amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender on account of principal,
interest or the funding of participating interests required to be purchased by
such Non-Funding Lender hereunder) which may at any time (including, without
limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans, Notes and other
Payment Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such
indemnified Person, in its respective capacity as such, in any way relating to
or arising out of the Credit Documents, or any documents contemplated by or
referred to therein or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action
taken or omitted by such indemnified Person, in its respective capacity as
such, thereunder or in connection therewith, 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
174
or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such indemnified Person, in its respective capacity as such, or, in the case of
a claim against either Agent or the Arranger (in its respective capacity as
such) arising from a lawsuit against such Agent or the Arranger, as the case
may be, if such Lender was not given notice of said lawsuit and an opportunity
to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense. The agreements in
this subsection 16.8 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the Notes, the
Drafts, the Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall have the right to deduct any amount owed to it
by any Lender under this subsection from any payment made by it to such Lender
hereunder.
16.9 Each of the Agents and the Arranger in Its Individual Capacity.
Each of the Agents, the Co-Agents and the Arranger and their Affiliates may
make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as though
it were not an Agent, a Co-Agent or the Arranger, as the case may be,
hereunder. With respect to its Loans and any Notes or other promissory note
issued to it (in its capacity as a Lender), with respect to any Local Loan or
Acceptance made, created or participated in by it (in its capacity as a Lender)
and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it (in
its capacity as a Lender), each Agent, each Co-Agent and the Arranger, shall
have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, a Co-Agent or the Arranger,
as the case may be, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include each of
the Agents, the Co-Agents and the Arranger, in its respective individual
capacity.
16.10 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent, the Documentation
Agent or the Syndication Agent may resign as Administrative Agent,
Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be, upon 30 days'
notice to the Lenders and the Company (on its own behalf and as agent for the
Borrowing Subsidiaries). If the Administrative Agent shall resign as such, then
Citibank, N.A. shall be appointed (automatically and without any act on the
part of, or notice to, any Person) as successor Administrative Agent for the
Lenders; provided that, if Citibank shall have ceased to hold any portion of
the Loans or Commitments hereunder, the Required Lenders shall appoint from
among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which
successor Administrative Agent shall be approved by the Company, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld (or, if the Required Lenders and the Company
are unable to select such successor Administrative Agent within such 30-day
period, a successor Administrative Agent shall be selected by the Agents). From
and after such appointment of a successor administrative agent, such successor
administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
resigning Administrative Agent under all of the Credit Documents, and the term
"Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor Administrative Agent effective
upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and
duties as the 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 or any holders of the Loans, the Notes, the
Drafts or the other Payment Obligations. If the Documentation Agent, the
Syndication Agent or the Arranger shall resign as such, no successor
Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent or Arranger shall be appointed, and the
Administrative Agent shall succeed to all of the rights, powers and duties of
the resigning Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent or
175
Arranger, as the case may be, under all of the Credit Documents, and the former
Documentation Agent's, Syndication Agent's or Arranger's rights, powers and
duties as Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent or Arranger, as the case may
be, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part
of such former Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent or Arranger. After any
retiring Administrative Agent's or Documentation Agent's or Syndication Agent's
or Arranger's resignation hereunder as such, the provisions of this Section 16
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was the Administrative Agent or the Documentation Agent or the
Syndication Agent or the Arranger under the Credit Documents.
SECTION 17. MISCELLANEOUS
17.1 Amendments and Waivers. (a) Except as set forth in the next
succeeding sentence or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent, on the one hand and the affected Borrowers or the
Pledgors or the Guarantors, as the case may be, as party thereto, on the other
hand, may from time to time with the prior written consent of the Required
Lenders enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications for the
purpose of adding, deleting or modifying any provision of any Credit Document
or changing in any manner the rights, remedies, obligations and duties of the
parties thereto, and with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may execute and deliver a
written instrument waiving, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in
such instrument, any of the requirements applicable to such Borrowers or the
Pledgors or the Guarantors, as the case may be, party to any Credit Document,
or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences. Except as otherwise

modification shall:

thereby, extend or waive any scheduled installment or the final scheduled
maturity of any of the Loans or the Notes, or reduce the rate or extend the
time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount
thereof, or change the amount or terms (including, without limitation, fees

Lender, amended, supplement or otherwise modify any provision of subsection

Lender directly affected thereby, amend, supplement or otherwise modify any

provisions of subsection 8.4(a)(iv), 8.4(e) and 9.3(f) may be amended,

only of Citibank, General Electric Capital Corporation, the Administrative
Agent and any Fronting Lender which is directly affected thereby.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
(including, without limitation, the provisions of subsection 17.1(a)), this
Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by the Company and
the Agents (with the consent of any Fronting Lender which is directly affected
thereby, but otherwise without notice to or consent of any other Lender
177
or any Borrowing Subsidiary) in order to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect
or inconsistency in any of the provisions of Section 8 or 9 or otherwise
relating to the Aggregate Local Loan Commitment, the Aggregate Acquisition Loan
Commitment and the administration of either thereof. Any such amendment,
supplement or other modification pursuant to this subsection 17.1(c) shall be
made in writing and shall be distributed to each affected Lender by the
Administrative Agent promptly following the effectiveness thereof.
(d) Any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this

Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Administrative Agent shall
be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes
and the Security Documents, and any Default or any Event of Default waived
shall, to the extent provided in such waiver, be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but, no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default

supplement, modification or waiver to each Lender.
17.2 Releases of Collateral Security and Guarantee Obligations.

Document, upon request of the Company the Administrative Agent shall, as
promptly as possible (without any notice to or vote or consent of the
Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Lender), take action having
the effect of releasing:
(a) any collateral and or guarantee obligations provided by any
Borrowing Subsidiaries to the extent that (i) the Currency Sublimit for
such Borrowing Subsidiary has been reduced to zero, (ii) no Payment
Obligations are then owing by such Borrowing Subsidiary and (iii) the
Company has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that such
Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a "Borrowing Subsidiary"; and
(b) any collateral and/or guarantee obligations provided for in any
Security Document to the extent necessary to permit the consummation of (i)

extent applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), (iii)
any Net Proceeds Event, (iv) any asset dispositions permitted by subsection

other disposition by Revlon Holdings of the real property and improvements

gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person, (ii) legal
proceedings commenced against any such indemnified person by any security
holder or creditor (other than the Company, its Subsidiaries and its
Affiliates) thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such
security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such, (iii) legal
proceedings commenced against any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Swing Line
Lender (in their respective capacities as such) by any other Lender or by the
Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Administrative Agent
(provided that for purposes of this clause (iii) only, each of such other
Lender, Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender, the Documentation Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Arranger and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to indemnity hereunder to the extent that such legal proceedings have been
commenced by it to enforce the provisions of the Credit Documents) or (iv)
amounts of the types referred to in clauses (a) through (c) above except as
provided therein. The agreements in this subsection 17.6 shall survive
repayment of the Loans, the Notes, the Drafts, the Reimbursement Obligations
and all other amounts payable hereunder.
17.7 Successors and Assigns; Loan Participations. (a) This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the
Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders, all future holders of the Loans and the Notes, and their respective
successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of each Lender.
(b) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time
sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating
interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, the Note held by such Lender, any
Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder or
under any other Credit Document. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of
participating interests 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
181
responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of
any such Loan, Note, Commitment or other interest for all purposes under this
Agreement and each Borrower, each Fronting Lender and the Administrative Agent
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees
that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due and
unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have
the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing
under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its
participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this
Agreement or any Note; provided, that such right of setoff shall be subject to
the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders
agree to share with such Participant, as provided in subsection 17.8. Each
Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
subsections 10.11 and 10.12 with respect to its participation in the Loans and
other Payment Obligations outstanding from time to time; provided, that no
Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such
subsections 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 may, in accordance with applicable law:
(i) at any time sell all or any part of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement and any of the Loans, the Notes, the Acceptances, the
L/C Obligations and any other Credit Document to any Lender or any
Affiliate thereof or to a Related Fund of any Lender;
(ii) at any time sell to one or more additional Lenders or financial
institutions ("Purchasing Lenders") which are Eligible Assignees, all or
any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any of the
Loans, the Notes, the Acceptances, the L/C Obligations and any other Credit
Document, provided that, unless the Company (on its own behalf and as agent
for the Borrowing Subsidiaries) otherwise consents or unless the selling
Lender is selling all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the Loans, any Notes, any Acceptances, any L/C Obligations and each
other Credit Document, (x) each such sale pursuant to this clause (ii)
shall be in an amount of $10,000,000 or more and (y) after giving effect to
such sale, the rights and obligations of such selling Lender under this
Agreement and the Loans, the Notes, the Acceptances, the L/C Obligations
and any other Credit Document shall be in an amount equal to no less than
$10,000,000; and
(iii) with the consent of the Company (on its own behalf and as agent
for the Borrowing Subsidiaries) (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld) sell to one or more Purchasing Lenders which are not Lenders,
Affiliates thereof or Eligible Assignees, all or any part of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the Loans, the Notes, any Acceptances,
any L/C Obligations and any other Credit Document, provided that, unless
the Company (on its own behalf and as agent for the Borrowing
182
Subsidiaries) otherwise consents or unless the selling Lender is selling
all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loans, any
Notes, any Acceptances, any L/C Obligations and each other Credit Document,
(x) each such sale pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be in an amount of
$10,000,000 or more and (y) after giving effect to such sale, the rights
and obligations of such selling Lender under this Agreement and the Loans,
the Notes, the Acceptances, the L/C Obligations and any other Credit
Document shall be in an amount equal to no less than $10,000,000;
; provided that, any such sale by a Lender of all or a portion of its
Acquisition Loan Commitment or Multi-Currency Commitment which is effected
prior to the Closing Date shall be accompanied by the sale of a ratable share
of its other such Commitment. Any such sale pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of
this subsection 17.7(c) shall be made pursuant to a Commitment Transfer
Supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit N (a "Commitment Transfer
Supplement"), executed by the Administrative Agent, such Purchasing Lender and
such transferor Lender (and, in the case of any such transfer made pursuant to
clause (iii), by the Company, acting on its own behalf and on as agent for any
relevant Borrowing Subsidiary), and delivered to the Administrative Agent for
its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below). Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Transfer
Effective Date (as defined in the Commitment Transfer Supplement) determined
pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (x) the Purchasing Lender
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the transferor Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest transferred, as reflected in
such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and, in the case of a Commitment
Transfer Supplement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Such
Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Schedule II hereto) to the extent, and only to
the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the
resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by
such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of
such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Loans, the Notes, the
Acceptances and the L/C Obligations. On or prior to the Transfer Effective Date
determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, the Company, at its
own expense and upon the request of such Purchasing Lender or the transferror
Lender, shall execute and deliver (or cause the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary
to execute and deliver) to the Administrative Agent in exchange for any
surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Purchasing Lender in an amount
equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Commitment Transfer
Supplement and, if the transferor Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder
(and has previously requested a Note evidencing its Loans thereunder), a new
Note to the order of the transferor Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment
retained by it hereunder. Any such new Note shall be dated the date of the
original Note and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby.
Any Note surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by the
Administrative Agent to the Company marked "canceled."
183
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to
in subsection 17.3 a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to
it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments and Commitment Percentages of the
Loans and other obligations hereunder owing to each Lender from time to time.
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest
error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent,
the Syndication Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan or other obligation, as the
case may be, recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by any Borrower, the Documentation Agent, the
Syndication Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by a
transferor Lender and a Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing
Lender that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Company and
the Administrative Agent), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of
a registration and processing fee of $3,500 if the Purchasing Lender is not a
Lender prior to the execution of such supplement and $1,000 otherwise, the
Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Commitment Transfer
Supplement and (ii) on the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant thereto
record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of
such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Company (and, to the
extent relevant, any affected Borrowing Subsidiaries).
(f) Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any
Participant or Purchasing Lender (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective
Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession
concerning the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates which has been
delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, or which has been delivered to such
Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower in connection with such Lender's credit
evaluation of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates prior to
becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that such Transferee or potential
Transferee shall have acknowledged that it is receiving such information
subject to the provisions of subsection 17.15(e).
(g) Unless the Company shall otherwise consent, if, pursuant to this
subsection 17.7, any interest in this Agreement or any Loan, Note, Acceptance,
Application or Letter of Credit is transferred to any Transferee which is
organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or
any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the
transferor Lender (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative
Agent and the Company) that under applicable law and treaties at the time in
effect no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent,
the Company or the transferor Lender with respect to any payments to be made to
such Transferee in respect of the Loans and other amounts owing under this
Agreement, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any
Purchasing Lender registered in the Register, the Administrative Agent and the
Company) either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224, U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form 1001 or (in the case of a Qualified Foreign Lender)
184
U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (and accompanying U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate), or (in any such case) any successor applicable form, as the case
may be (wherein such Transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from
U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder), (iii) to
agree (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and
the Company) to provide the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any
Purchasing Lender registered in the Register, the Administrative Agent and the
Company) a new Form 4224, Form 1001 or (in the case of a Qualified Foreign
Lender) Form W-8 (and accompanying U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate) upon the
expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable
statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and
amendments duly executed and completed by such Transferee, and to comply from
time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such
withholding tax exemption and (iv) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor
Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company) to be bound by the provisions
of subsections 10.13(b), (c) and (d) as if such Transferee were a Lender
hereunder.
(h) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that the provisions of this subsection 17.7 concerning assignments of Loans and
Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not
prohibit assignments creating security interests, 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. Upon request of any
Acquisition Direct Lender from time to time, the Company will provide to such
Acquisition Direct Lender a promissory note (in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to such Acquisition Direct Lender and, in any event, in form
suitable for assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank) evidencing the Syndicated
Acquisition Loans of such Acquisition Direct Lender which are denominated in
Dollars.
17.8 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) On the date of occurrence of any Event
of Default specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 15(m), each Lender
shall be deemed to have purchased an interest in the Payment Obligations owing
to each other Lender (and, to the extent necessary after giving effect to any
actual recoveries on such Payment Obligations, shall actually fund such
purchase) such that, after giving effect to all such purchases or deemed
purchases, each Lender is owed directly or through such purchase or deemed
purchase the portion of the aggregate amount of Payment Obligations then
outstanding with respect to each of the Aggregate Initial Term Loan Commitment,
the Aggregate Deferred Draw Term Loan Commitment, the Aggregate Special L/C
Commitment, the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment and the Aggregate
Acquisition Loan Commitment equal to such Lender's ratable share of all Payment
Obligations then outstanding with respect to each such Aggregate Commitment.
Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to purchase such
Payment Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this subsection
17.8(a) shall be irrevocable and unconditional.
(b) If any Syndicated Lender (a "benefitted Lender") shall at any time
receive any payment of all or part of any of its Loans or Reimbursement
Obligations owing to it under any Commitment, or interest thereon, pursuant to
a guarantee or otherwise, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise), in a greater proportion
than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Syndicated
Lender, if
185
any, in respect of such other Lender's Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, as
the case may be, owing to it under such Commitment or interest thereon, such
benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Syndicated Lenders
such portion of each such other Syndicated Lender's similar Loans or
Reimbursement Obligations, or shall provide such other Syndicated Lenders with
the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or
benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Syndicated
Lenders which hold such Commitment; 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. Each
Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's
Loans or Reimbursement Obligations may exercise all rights of payment
(including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion
as fully as if such purchasing Lender were the direct holder of such portion.
(c) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Syndicated Lenders
provided by law, upon both the occurrence of an Event of Default and
acceleration of the obligations owing in connection with this Agreement, each
Syndicated Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company,
any such notice being expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable
law, to set off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or
unmatured, of the Company to such or any other Syndicated Lender any amount
owing from such Syndicated Lender to the Company at, or at any time after, the
happening of both of the above mentioned events, and such right of set-off may
be exercised by such Syndicated Lender against the Company or against any
trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, receiver, custodian or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of
the Company, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Company or
such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor,
notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been
exercised by such Syndicated Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance, or
service upon such Syndicated Lender of, or of notice of, any such petition,
assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the
appointment of a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or
warrant. Each Syndicated Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the
Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such
Syndicated Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such set-off and application.
(d) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Fronting Lenders
provided by law, upon both the occurrence of an Event of Default and
acceleration of the obligations owing in connection with this Agreement, each
Fronting Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any
such notice being expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law,
to set off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of
such Borrower to such Fronting Lender any amount owing from such Fronting
Lender to such Borrower at, or at any time after, the happening of both of the
above mentioned events, and such right of set-off may be exercised by such
Fronting Lender against such Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver,
custodian or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of such Borrower, or
against anyone else
186
claiming through or against such Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor
in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, or execution,
judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of
set-off shall not have been exercised by such Fronting Lender prior to the
making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Fronting Lender of, or of
notice of, any such petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors,
appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of
execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Fronting Lender agrees promptly to
notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and
application made by such Fronting Lender, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
17.9 Delegation by each Borrowing Subsidiary. Each Borrowing
Subsidiary hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company as the agent
of such Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents for the purpose of giving notices and taking other actions delegated
to such Borrowing Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Borrowing
Subsidiary hereby irrevocably grants to the Company such Borrowing Subsidiary's
power-of-attorney, and hereby authorizes the Company, to act in place of such
Borrowing Subsidiary with respect to matters delegated to such Borrowing
Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents and to take such other actions as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby further acknowledges and agrees that the
Company shall receive all notices to such Borrowing Subsidiary for all purposes
of this Agreement. The Company hereby agrees to provide prompt notice to the
relevant Borrowing Subsidiary of any notices received and all action taken by
the Company under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents on behalf of
such Borrowing Subsidiary.
17.10 Judgment. The Obligations of each Borrower in respect of each
Acquisition Loan, Local Loan and Acceptance reimbursement obligation due to any
party hereto in Dollars (including, without limitation, by virtue of any
conversion of a Local Loan or Acceptance from a Denomination Currency into
Dollars pursuant to the provisions of subsection 8.4) or any holder of any bond
which is denominated in Dollars, shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a
currency (the "judgment currency") other than Dollars, be discharged only to
the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such party or such
holder (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment
currency such party or such holder (as the case may be) may in accordance with
normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with the judgment currency; if the
amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such
party or such holder (as the case may be) in Dollars, such Borrower agrees, as
a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such
party or such holder (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount
of Dollars so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any party to this
Agreement or any holder of Notes (as the case may be), such party or such
holder (as the case may be), agrees to remit to such Borrowing Subsidiary, such
excess.
17.11 QFL Notes. (a) Any Qualified Foreign Lender shall at the request
of the Company or the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of a copy of such a
request from the Company or the Administrative Agent, exchange any Initial Term
Loan Note or any Deferred
187
Draw Term Loan Note held by it for a QFL Term Loan Note in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit U-2 (a "QFL Term Loan Note"). Any QFL Term Loan Notes issued
in exchange for any existing Initial Term Loan Notes or Deferred Draw Term Loan
Notes pursuant to this Section shall be dated the Effective Date and shall be
in issued in the same principal amounts as such existing Initial Term Loan
Notes or Deferred Draw Term Loan Notes, as the case may be. Any Initial Term
Loan Note or Deferred Draw Term Loan Note exchanged pursuant to this Section is
sometimes referred to herein as an "Exchanged Note."
(b) The Company agrees that, upon delivery of a request to a Qualified
Foreign Lender pursuant to subsection 17.11(a), it shall execute and deliver a
QFL Term Loan Note in exchange for the Exchanged Note surrendered in connection
with such request conforming to the requirements of such subsection 17.11(a).
Each Qualified Foreign Lender shall surrender its Term Loan Note or Deferred
Draw Term Loan Note, as the case may be, at the request of the Company or the
Administrative Agent in connection with any exchange pursuant to this
subsection 17.11. Once issued, QFL Term Loan Notes (i) shall be deemed to and
shall be "Notes" for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, (ii) may not be exchanged for Initial Term Loan Notes or Deferred
Draw Term Loan Notes and (iii) shall at all times thereafter be QFL Term Loan
Notes, including, without limitation, following any transfer or assignment
thereof.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall separately record the names and
addresses of each Qualified Foreign Lender which holds a QFL Term Loan Note,
whether issued as a result of an exchange pursuant to this subsection 17.11 or
a transfer pursuant to subsection 17.7(c) of the Agreement, in the Register
maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 17.7(d) of the
Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall also record the aggregate principal
amount of Initial Term Loans or Deferred Draw Term Loans, as the case may be,
owing to such Qualified Foreign Lender in the Register.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, no
assignment under subsection 17.7(c) of the Agreement of any rights or
obligations under or in respect of QFL Term Loan Notes shall be effective
unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have recorded such assignment
in the Register pursuant to subsection 17.11(c). The Administrative Agent shall
record the name of the transferor, the name of the transferee, and the amount
of the transfer in the Register after receipt of all documents required
pursuant to subsection 17.7 of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the QFL Term Loan Note being assigned in connection with such transfer, and
such other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
Subject to the provision of this subsection 17.11(d), assignments of and
participations in QFL Term Loan Notes shall be governed by subsection 17.7 of
this Agreement and, upon assignment of any QFL Term Loan Note, new QFL Term
Loan Notes shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of subsection 17.7
of this Agreement.
17.12 Collateral Agency Agreements and Intercreditor Agreement. (a)
Each Lender hereby acknowledges that it has fully reviewed each Collateral
Agency Agreement and agrees to be comply with the terms thereof as if it were a
direct signatory thereto.
188
(b) Each Lender hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative
Agent to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and agrees to comply
with the terms thereof as if it were a direct signatory thereto.
17.13 Certain Waivers. (a) To the extent that the execution, delivery
or performance of any Credit Document hereunder constitutes a Default or an
Event of Default under (and as defined in) the Existing Agreement, each Lender
hereunder which is a party to the Existing Agreement hereby waives such Default
or Event of Default. Each Lender hereby agrees that any Security Document under
(and as defined in) the Existing Agreement, and any financing statement or
similar filing on account thereof, which remains in effect after the date
hereof and is not required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be
deemed not to constitute a "Lien" for purposes of this Agreement to the extent
that the Company is using best efforts to terminate or cause to be terminated
such Security Document or other filing.
(b) Each Lender hereby agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 12 of this Agreement, certain of the Pledge Agreements relating to
capital stock of Foreign Subsidiaries and certain of the Security Agreements
with respect to assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries which are located
outside of the United States may not be delivered prior to or on the Closing
Date. Each Lender hereby waives compliance with the provisions of Section 12 of
this Agreement to the extent and only to the extent necessary to permit the
Closing Date to occur without the delivery of such Pledge Agreements, Security
Agreements, and other documentation relating thereto and to permit the
Borrowers to borrow under this Agreement. The Company hereby covenants that it
shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, deliver to the Administrative Agent
all such Pledge Agreements, Security Agreements and related documentation
within 30 days following the Closing Date and that the failure to deliver any
such Pledge Agreement, Security Agreement or related documentation within such
30 day period shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder; provided that,
with the consent of the Agents, such 30 day period may be extended by not more
than an additional 30 days.
17.14 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which 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.
17.15 Effectiveness; Counterparts; Confidentiality. (a) This Agreement
shall become binding upon the parties hereto (and, notwithstanding the
provisions of the proviso to this clause (a), each party hereto shall be
irrevocably obligated to perform all of its obligations hereunder from and
after the Closing Date) when the Administrative Agent shall have received one
or more counterparts of this Agreement, executed by a duly authorized officer
of each party hereto or, in the case of any Lender, telex or telecopier
confirmation to the Administrative Agent that a duly authorized officer of such
Lender has executed a counterpart of this Agreement and that such counterpart
has been sent to the Administrative Agent (the "Effective Date"); provided
that, during the period from the Effective Date to the Closing Date, the
provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions of subsection 10.14
and, with respect to any amounts
189
requested to be borrowed hereunder on or after the Closing Date, subsection
10.12) shall be of no force and effect (and the Existing Agreement shall not be
amended hereby).
(b) Upon delivery of each Security Document that is executed and
delivered prior to the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement, such Security
Document shall become binding upon the parties thereto; provided that each such
Security Document shall become effective (without any action by or notice to
any party) on the Closing Date. The provisions of this subsection 17.15(b)
shall not affect or impair the effectiveness of any Security Documents
delivered pursuant to the Original Agreement (as defined below) or the Existing
Agreement, as the case may be, prior to or after the date hereof, which
Security Documents the Company hereby represents and warrants are and shall
remain (or, in the case of any such Security Documents delivered after the date
hereof, will be upon their delivery) in full force and effect. Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees and acknowledges that each reference to any
section or subsection of the credit agreement executed by the Borrower and
certain of its Subsidiaries as of February 28, 1995 (the "Original Agreement")
or the Existing Agreement, as the case may be, in any Security Document, shall
be deemed a reference to such section or subsection of the Original Agreement
or the Existing Agreement, as the case may be, as amended and restated, in the
case of the Original Agreement, by the Existing Agreement and this Agreement,
and, in the case of the Existing Agreement, as amended and restated by this
Agreement.
(c) In the event that the Closing Date does not occur on or prior to
June 30, 1997 or the Company otherwise provides written notice to the
Administrative Agent prior to such date that the Company elects to terminate
the amendments contemplated hereby, this Agreement, and any amended and
restated guarantees and other security documents which are executed and
delivered pursuant hereto (but which were not executed and delivered in
connection with the Existing Agreement), shall cease to be of any further
effect (other than the obligation to pay any accrued fees and indemnities owing
hereunder or thereunder). Upon any such termination of the amendments
contemplated hereby and cessation of effectiveness of this Agreement, the
Existing Agreement and all Security Documents and other Credit Documents (in
each such case, as defined in the Existing Agreement) executed in connection
therewith shall remain in full force and effect.
(d) 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. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties
shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent.
(e) Each Lender agrees that it will not disclose Confidential
Information (as defined below) to any Person other than (i) as may be consented
to by the Company, (ii) as may be required by law or pursuant to legal process
and (iii) to prospective Participants and Purchasing Lenders and those of such
Lender's directors, officers, employees, examiners and professional advisors
who have a need to know the Confidential Information in accordance with
customary banking practices and who receive the Confidential Information having
been made aware of the restrictions of this subsection 17.15(e). As used
herein, the term "Confidential Information" means all information contained in
materials relating to the Company and its
190
Subsidiaries provided to the Lenders by the Company or its representatives or
agents other than (x) information which is at the time so provided or
thereafter becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of
a disclosure by one or more Lenders, (y) information which was available to any
Lender prior to its disclosure to the Lenders by the Company, its
representatives or agents and (z) information which becomes available to one or

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
---------------------
1. In 1985, the Mortgaged Property in Edison, New Jersey became subject to the
requirements of the Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act ("ECRA"), as
amended by the Industrial Site Recovery Act. Pursuant to the requirements of
ECRA, Revlon Holdings (and, when owned by the Company, the Company) have
conducted investigations of the soil and groundwater, have undertaken certain
remedial activities with respect to the soil, and have submitted to the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection a proposed plan to remediate
remaining soils and groundwater. Groundwater remedial activities have
commenced. As required by ECRA, Revlon Holdings has posted financial assurance
with the Department of Environmental Protection in the amount of $5.5 million.
2. In April 1997, the Mortgaged Property in Phoenix, Arizona received a
hazardous waste inspections report, including a notice of violation. The
Company has responded to the notice of violation indicating that most of the
items identified were not violations since the materials were not hazardous and
therefore not subject to regulation. All other items have been corrected.
