Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Overview. On September 7, 2016, Denali Intermediate Inc. (“Denali Intermediate”), Dell, Dell International L.L.C. (“Dell International”), Merger Sub, EMC and certain other direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Denali Intermediate entered into a credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as term loan B administrative agent and as collateral agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as term loan A / revolver administrative agent and swingline lender, and certain other financial institutions as agents, issuing banks and/or lenders.

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) in the aggregate principal amount of $17,575 million comprising (a) term loan facilities consisting of a $5,000 million term loan B facility, a $3,700 million term loan A-1 facility, a $3,925 million term loan A-2 facility and a $1,800 million term loan A-3 facility and (b) a $3,150 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which includes capacity for up to $500 million of letters of credit and for borrowings of up to $400 million under swing-line loans. Dell International and EMC are the borrowers under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities provide that the borrowers have the right at any time subject to customary conditions to request incremental term loans or incremental revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to (a) the greater of (i) $10,000 million and (ii) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) plus (b) an amount equal to voluntary prepayments of the term loan facilities and the revolving credit facility, subject to certain requirements, plus (c) an additional unlimited amount subject to a pro forma net first lien leverage ratio of 3.25:1.0.

Interest Rate and Fees. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin, plus, at the borrowers’ option, either (a) a base rate, which, under the term loan B facility, is subject to an interest rate floor of 1.75% per annum, and under all other borrowings is subject to an interest rate floor of 0% per annum, or (b) a LIBOR rate, which, under the term loan B facility, is subject to an interest rate floor of 0.75% per annum, and under all other borrowings is subject to an interest rate floor of 0% per annum. The applicable margin under the term loan B facility is subject to reduction based on a first lien leverage ratio test. The applicable margins under the term loan A-1 facility, the term loan A-2 facility, the term loan A-3 facility and the revolving credit facility vary based upon a corporate ratings-based pricing schedule.

The borrowers are required to pay a commitment fee on any unutilized commitments under the revolving credit facility. The borrowers are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees.

Prepayments. The term loan facilities require the borrowers to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with a portion of certain excess cash flow, net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property, and net cash proceeds of certain debt not permitted to be incurred under the term loan facilities. In addition, the borrowers may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans, except that voluntary prepayments of the term loan B facility are subject to a 1% prepayment premium in the event of certain voluntary prepayments or refinancings thereof that reduce the effective yield of the term loan B facility during the six-month period commencing on the date of the consummation of the Merger.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary affirmative covenants including, among others: delivery of annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements; delivery of notices of defaults, material litigation and material ERISA events; submission to certain inspections; maintenance of property and customary insurance; payment of taxes; and compliance with laws and regulations.

Shares of the Class V Common Stock have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “DVMT” and began trading on September 7, 2016. The Class V Common Stock is a type of common stock that is commonly referred to as a tracking stock. The shares of Class V Common Stock are intended to track and reflect the economic performance of approximately 65% of the Company’s interest in the “Class V Group” of the Company. The Class V Group currently consists of the Company’s current economic interest in the business of VMware, which as of the closing date of the Merger consisted of approximately 343 million shares of VMware common stock. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Class V Common Stock will, in fact, reflect the performance of such economic interest.

The issuance of the Class V Common Stock in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Form S-4 Registration Statement. The Form S-4 Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains a description of the Merger Agreement and other information about the Merger.

The consideration for the Merger and the repayment of certain existing indebtedness of the Company and EMC at the closing of the Merger, which is described in Item 1.02 of this report, were funded by the debt financing arrangements described in Item 1.01 of this report, the cash equity contributions described in Item 3.02 of this report, and cash on hand at the Company and its subsidiaries.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note, in Item 1.01 of this report under the heading “Debt Financing for the Merger” and in Item 2.01 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.

Existing EMC Notes

As of September 7, 2016, EMC had outstanding approximately $2,500 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.875% Notes due June 2018 (the “2018 Notes”), approximately $2,000 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.650% Notes due June 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) and approximately $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.375% Notes due June 2023 (the “2023 Notes” and, together with the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes, the “EMC Notes”), all of which were issued on June 6, 2013. The EMC Notes remain outstanding following the consummation of the Merger. The EMC Notes are not guaranteed by any subsidiaries of EMC and are not guaranteed by the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company. The EMC Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of June 6, 2013 (the “EMC Base Indenture”), as supplemented by an Officer’s Certificate, dated as of June 6, 2013 (together with the EMC Base Indenture, the “EMC Indenture”), between EMC and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.

The EMC Notes are senior unsecured obligations of EMC and rank equally in right of payment with all of EMC’s existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to any future indebtedness of EMC that expressly provides for the subordination of such indebtedness to the EMC Notes. The EMC Notes are structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of EMC’s subsidiaries.

The EMC Indenture and the EMC Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants applicable to investment grade debt securities. The covenants include limitations on liens, sale and leaseback transactions, and mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of EMC’s assets. The EMC Notes may be redeemed at any time, in whole or in part, prior to maturity at redemption prices that include a make-whole premium, as specified in the EMC Indenture, except that no make-whole premium will be payable for redemption of the 2023 Notes on or after March 1, 2023.

The foregoing summary of the EMC Indenture and the EMC Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the EMC Base Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.11 to this report, the text of the Officer’s Certificate establishing the terms of the EMC Notes, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.12 to this report, and the forms of the EMC Notes, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.13, 4.14 and 4.15 to this report, each of which documents is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and Items 1.01 and 2.01 of this report are incorporated herein by reference.

On September 7, 2016, in connection with the Merger, the Company issued and sold the following shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $27.50 per share to the persons identified below (the “Common Equity Investors”) for an aggregate purchase price of $4.4 billion, pursuant to four separate common stock purchase agreements (as amended, the “Common Stock Purchase Agreements”):

 

    109,748,740 shares of Class A Common Stock to the MD Stockholders;

 

    6,999,487 shares of Class A Common Stock to the MSDC Stockholders;

 

    38,805,040 shares of Class B Common Stock to the SLP Stockholders; and

 

    18,181,818 shares of Class C Common Stock to Temasek.

The Company applied the proceeds from the sale of the shares of the Company’s common stock to the Common Equity Investors to finance a portion of the consideration for the Merger. A description of the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreements is contained in the Form S-4 Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section captioned “The Merger Agreement—Common Stock Purchase Agreements.”

The issuance and sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreements were made in reliance on the private offering exemption from registration under the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) thereof. The Company relied on such exemption from registration based in part on representations made in the Common Stock Purchase Agreements by the Common Equity Investors with respect to their ability to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the common stock and their investment intent.

    no person who is not a non-employee director participating in the Restated Plan may receive performance awards denominated in cash in excess of 0.5% of the Company’s aggregate consolidated operating income in the fiscal year immediately preceding the date such performance award is granted; and

The Exchange Offer shall comply with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act and other applicable laws. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) prepare and file with the SEC the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with respect to the Exchange Offer; (y) keep the Exchange Offer open for at least 20 Business Days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date that notice of the Exchange Offer is delivered to Holders; and (z) consummate the Exchange Offer on or prior to the day that is five years after the Merger Date.

Each Holder (including, without limitation, each Participating Broker-Dealer) that participates in the Exchange Offer, as a condition to participation in the Exchange Offer, will be required to represent to the Issuers in writing (which may be contained in the applicable letter of transmittal) that: (i) any Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Registrable Securities tendered are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the Person receiving such Exchange Securities, whether or not such recipient is such Holder itself; (ii) at the time of the commencement or consummation of the applicable Exchange Offer neither such Holder nor, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, any other Person receiving Exchange Securities from such Holder has an arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the applicable Exchange Securities in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act; (iii) neither the Holder nor, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, any other Person receiving Exchange Securities from such Holder is an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405) of an Issuer or, if it is an affiliate of an Issuer, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable and will provide information to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 6 hereof in order to have their Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement and benefit from the provisions regarding Additional Interest in Section 5 hereof; (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, neither such Holder nor, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, any other Person receiving Exchange Securities from such Holder is engaging in or

 

-5-


intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Securities; and (v) if such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer, such Holder has acquired such Registrable Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act (including, but not limited to, the prospectus delivery requirements thereunder).

Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this Section 2, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply, mutatis mutandis, solely with respect to Registrable Securities that are Private Exchange Notes (and the related Guarantees) and Exchange Securities as to which Section 2(d)(iv) is applicable and Exchange Securities held by Participating Broker-Dealers, and the Issuers shall have no further obligation to register Registrable Securities (other than Private Exchange Notes (and the related Guarantees) and Exchange Securities as to which clause 2(d)(iv) hereof applies) pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

(b) The Issuers shall include within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution,” which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the SEC with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that is the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Notes received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such positions or policies represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also expressly permit, to the extent permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all Participating Broker-Dealers, and include a statement describing the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities in compliance with the Securities Act.

The Issuers and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein in order to permit such Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as is necessary to comply with applicable law in connection with any resale of the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that such period shall not be required to exceed 90 days, such longer period if extended pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6 hereof (the “Applicable Period”).

If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchasers hold any Notes acquired by them that have the status of an unsold allotment in the initial distribution, the Issuers, upon the request of the Initial Purchasers, shall simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Notes issue and deliver to the Initial Purchasers, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for such Notes held by any such Initial Purchasers, a like principal amount of the applicable series of notes (the “Private Exchange Notes”) of the Issuers, guaranteed by the Guarantors, if applicable, that are identical in all material respects to the Exchange Notes except for the placement of a restrictive legend on such Private Exchange Notes. The Private Exchange Notes shall be issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Exchange Notes and bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Notes if permitted by the CUSIP Service Bureau.

In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers shall:

(1) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Holder of record entitled to participate in the Exchange Offer a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;

 

-6-


(2) use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer open for at least 20 Business Days from the date that notice of the Exchange Offer is delivered to Holders of the applicable series of Notes (or longer if required by applicable law);

(3) [Reserved];

(4) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Notes at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last Business Day on which the Exchange Offer remains open; and

(5) otherwise comply in all material respects with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Exchange Offer.

As soon as practicable after the expiration of the Exchange Offer and any Private Exchange, the Issuers shall:

(1) accept for exchange all Registrable Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any Private Exchange;

(2) deliver to the applicable Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange; and

(3) cause the applicable Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the applicable series of Notes of such Holder so accepted for exchange; provided that, in the case of any Notes held in global form by a depositary, authentication and delivery to such depositary of one or more replacement Notes of the applicable series in global form in an equivalent principal amount thereto for the account of such Holders in accordance with the Indenture shall satisfy such authentication and delivery requirement.

The Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that (i) the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, as the case may be, does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC; (ii) no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency which might materially impair the ability of the Issuers to proceed with the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, and no material adverse development shall have occurred in any existing action or proceeding with respect to the Issuers; (iii) all governmental approvals shall have been obtained, which approvals the Issuers deem necessary for the consummation of the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange; and (iv) the accuracy of customary representations of the Holders and other representations as may reasonably be necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations, the satisfaction by the Holders of customary conditions relating to the delivery of Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and the execution and delivery of customary documentation relating to the Exchange Offer.

(c) The Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) shall be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical in all material respects to the Indenture and which, in either case, has been qualified under the TIA or is exempt from such qualification and shall provide that the Exchange Securities shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture or such indenture shall provide that the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Notes of a series outstanding shall vote

 

-7-


and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes or the Notes outstanding of a series will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

(d) If, (i) because of any change in law or in currently prevailing interpretations of the staff of the SEC, the Issuers are not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated within five years of the Merger Date, (iii) any holder of Private Exchange Notes so requests in writing to the Issuers at any time within 30 days after the consummation of the Exchange Offer, or (iv) in the case of any Holder that participates in the Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Issuers within the meaning of the Securities Act) and so notifies the Issuers within 30 days after such Holder first becomes aware of such restrictions, in the case of each of clauses (i) to and including (iv) of this sentence, then the Issuers shall promptly (but, for the avoidance of doubt, no earlier than the date that is five years after the Merger Date) deliver to the applicable Trustee (to deliver to the Holders of the applicable series of Notes) written notice thereof (the “Shelf Notice”) and shall file a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

 

  3. Shelf Registration

If at any time a Shelf Notice is delivered as contemplated by Section 2(d) hereof, then:

(a) Shelf Registration. The Issuers shall as promptly as practicable file with the SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Securities (the “Initial Shelf Registration”). The Issuers and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration on or prior to the Filing Date. The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-1, Form S-3 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by Holders in the manner or manners designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings).

The Issuers and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earliest of (i) the date that is seven years after the Merger Date, (ii) such shorter period ending when all Registrable Securities covered by the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration or, if applicable, a Subsequent Shelf Registration or (iii) the date upon which all Registrable Securities are resold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”); provided, however, that the Effectiveness Period in respect of the Initial Shelf Registration shall be extended to the extent required to permit dealers to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the Securities Act and as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time, the Issuers may delay the filing of any Initial Shelf Registration Statement or delay or suspend the effectiveness thereof, for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of 90 consecutive days or more than three (3) times during any calendar year (each, a “Shelf Suspension Period”), if the Boards of Directors of the Issuers determine reasonably and in good faith that the filing of any such Initial Shelf Registration Statement or the continuing effectiveness thereof would require the disclosure of non-public material information that, in the reasonable judgment of the Boards of Directors of the Issuers, would be detrimental to the Issuers if so disclosed or would otherwise materially adversely affect a financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other material transaction or such disclosure is required by applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Issuers nor the Guarantors shall be obligated to file a Shelf Registration, or cause a Shelf Registration to be effective or continue to be effective, prior to the date that is five years after the Merger Date.

(b) Withdrawal of Stop Orders; Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the Securities registered thereunder or a Shelf Suspension Period), the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall file an additional Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Securities covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration (each, a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Issuers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective for a period equal to the number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration was previously continuously effective. As used herein the term “Shelf Registration” means the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registration.

(c) Supplements and Amendments. The Issuers shall promptly supplement and amend the Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities (or their counsel) covered by such Registration Statement with respect to the information included therein with respect to one or more of such Holders, or, if reasonably requested by any underwriter of such Registrable Securities, with respect to the information included therein with respect to such underwriter.

  5. Additional Interest

(a) The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Issuers or the Guarantors fail to fulfill their respective obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Issuers and the Guarantors agree to pay, jointly and severally, as liquidated damages, additional interest on the Registrable Securities of the applicable series of Notes (“Additional Interest”) if (A) the Issuers have neither (i) exchanged Exchange Securities for all Securities of such series validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer nor (ii) had a Shelf Registration Statement declared effective, in either case on or prior to the day that is five years after the Merger Date or (B) if applicable, a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the Securities registered thereunder), then Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the applicable series of Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum (which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such Additional Interest continues to accrue, provided that the rate at which such Additional Interest accrues may in no event exceed 1.00% per annum) (such Additional Interest to be calculated by the Issuers) commencing on the (x) the

 

-9-


day after the date that is five years after the Merger Date, in the case of (A) above or (y) the day such Shelf Registration (if required) ceases to be effective in the case of (B) above; provided, however, that upon the exchange of the Exchange Securities for all Securities of such series tendered (in the case of clause (A) of this Section 5), or upon the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective (in the case of (B) of this Section 5), Additional Interest on the Notes of such series in respect of which such events relate as a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5, the Issuers shall not be obligated to pay Additional Interest provided in Section 5(a)(B) during a Shelf Suspension Period permitted by Section 3(a) hereof; provided, that no Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes following the seventh anniversary of the Merger Date.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Issuers nor the Guarantors shall be obligated to pay any Additional Interest, and no Additional Interest shall accrue, on any series of Notes prior to the date that is five years after the Merger Date.

(b) The Issuers shall notify the applicable Trustee within three business days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an “Event Date”). Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 5 will be payable in cash semiannually on the interest payment dates stated in the Indenture with respect to the applicable series of Notes (to the holders of record of such series of Notes on the record dates stated in the Indenture with respect to such series of Notes immediately preceding such dates), commencing with the first such date occurring after any such Additional Interest commences to accrue with respect to such series of Notes. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by the Issuers by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the applicable series of Registrable Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30 day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360.

 

  6. Registration Procedures

In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, the Issuers shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of the securities covered thereby in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto and in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Issuers hereunder, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall:

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC (prior to the applicable Filing Date in the case of a Shelf Registration), a Registration Statement or Registration Statements as prescribed by Section 2 or 3 hereof, and use reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that if (1) such filing is pursuant to Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period relating thereto from whom the Issuers have received prior written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Issuers shall furnish to and afford counsel for the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by

 

-10-


such Registration Statement (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof) or counsel for such Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement), as the case may be, and counsel to the managing underwriters, if any, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least three business days prior to such filing). The Issuers shall not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto if the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object.

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period (other than during a Shelf Suspension Period), the Applicable Period or until consummation of the Exchange Offer, as the case may be; cause the related prospectus to be supplemented by any prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any securities being sold by an Participating Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus in all material respects. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed not to have used commercially reasonable efforts to keep a Registration Statement effective if they voluntarily take any action that is reasonably expected to result in selling Holders of the Registrable Securities covered thereby or Participating Broker-Dealers seeking to sell Exchange Securities not being able to sell such Registrable Securities or such Exchange Securities during that period unless such action is required by applicable law or permitted by this Agreement.

(c) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period relating thereto from whom the Issuers have received written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, notify the selling Holders of Registrable Securities (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof), or each such Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement), as the case may be, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly (but in any event within three Business Days), and confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective under the Securities Act (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, at the sole expense of the Issuers, one conformed copy (which may be in electronic form) of such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if at any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection

 

-11-


with sales of the Registrable Securities or resales of Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers the representations and warranties of the Issuers contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 6(m) hereof cease to be true and correct, (iv) of the receipt by the Issuers of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Securities or the Exchange Securities to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event, the existence of any condition or any information becoming known that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in or amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the Issuers’ determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

(d) Use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities or the Exchange Securities to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer, for sale in any jurisdiction.

(e) If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 and if requested during the Effectiveness Period by the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any) or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering, (i) as promptly as practicable incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any), such Holders or counsel for either of them reasonably request to be included therein, (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Issuers have received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, and (iii) supplement or make amendments to such Registration Statement.

(f) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof) and to each such Participating Broker-Dealer who so requests (with respect to any such Registration Statement) and to its counsel and each managing underwriter, if any, at the sole expense of the Issuers, one conformed copy (which may be in electronic form) of the Registration Statement or Registration Statements and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if requested, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits.

 

-12-


(g) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, deliver to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof), or each such Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement), as the case may be, its counsel, and the underwriters, if any, at the sole expense of the Issuers, as many copies (which may be in electronic form) of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of preliminary prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein as such Persons may reasonably request; and, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6, the Issuers hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus contained in any Shelf Registration or Exchange Offer Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by, or the sale by Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Securities pursuant to, such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities or any delivery of a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, use reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any selling Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer, or the managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request in writing; provided, however, that where Exchange Securities held by Participating Broker-Dealers or Registrable Securities are offered other than through an underwritten offering, the Issuers agree to cause their counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and file registrations and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 6(h), keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Exchange Securities held by Participating Broker-Dealers or the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where they are not then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject them to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where they are not then so subject or (C) subject themselves to taxation in any such jurisdiction where they are not then so subject.

(i) If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company; and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations (subject to applicable requirements contained in the Indenture) and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or Holders may request.

 

-13-


(j) Use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other U.S. governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling Holder’s business, in which case the Issuers will cooperate in all respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals.

(k) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph 6(c)(v) or 6(c)(vi) hereof, as promptly as practicable prepare and (subject to Section 6(a) hereof) file with the SEC, at the sole expense of the Issuers, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof) or to the purchasers of the Exchange Securities to whom such Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement), any such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(l) Prior to the effective date of the first Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities, (i) provide the applicable Trustee with certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for the applicable series of Registrable Securities.

(m) In connection with any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration, enter into an underwriting agreement as is customary in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities (including, without limitation, a customary condition to the obligations of the underwriters that the underwriters shall have received “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters from the independent certified public accountants of the Issuers (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of the Issuers, or of any business acquired by the Issuers, for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), addressed to representatives of the underwriters, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities), and take all such other actions as are reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of such Registrable Securities and, in such connection, (i) make such representations and warranties to, and covenants with, the underwriters with respect to the business of the Issuers (including any acquired business, properties or entity, if applicable), and the Registration Statement, Prospectus

The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting agreement, or as and to the extent required thereunder.

(n) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, make available for inspection by any Initial Purchaser, any selling Holder of such Registrable Securities being sold (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof), or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such selling Holder or each such Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement), as the case may be, or underwriter who, in each case, shall certify to the Issuers that they have, or, in the case of any attorney, accountant or other agent, that they are acting on behalf of one or more Selling Holders, Participating Broker-Dealers or underwriters, as applicable, who has a current intention to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration (any such Initial Purchasers, Holders, Participating Broker-Dealers, underwriters, attorneys, accountants or agents, collectively, the “Inspectors”), upon written request, at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and instruments of the Issuers and subsidiaries of the Issuers (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary, in the opinion of counsel for such Inspector, to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Issuers and any of its subsidiaries to supply all information (“Information”) reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such due diligence responsibilities. Each Inspector shall agree in writing that it will keep the Records and Information confidential, to use the Information only for due diligence purposes, to abstain from using the Information as the basis for any market transactions in securities of the Issuers, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries and that it will not disclose any of the Records or Information that the Issuers determine, in good faith, to be confidential and notifies the Inspectors in writing are confidential unless (i) the disclosure of such Records or Information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or material omission in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the release of such Records or Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) disclosure of such Records or Information is necessary or advisable, in the opinion of counsel for any Inspector, in connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or potentially involving such Inspector and arising out of, based upon, relating to, or involving this Agreement or the Purchase

 

-15-


Agreement, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or arising hereunder or thereunder, or (iv) the information in such Records or Information has been made generally available to the public other than by an Inspector or an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405) thereof; provided, however, that prior notice shall be provided as soon as practicable to the Issuers of the potential disclosure of any information by such Inspector pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of this sentence to permit the Issuers to obtain a protective order (or waive the provisions of this paragraph (n)) and that such Inspector shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information (if practicable) to the extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests of the Holder or any Inspector.

(o) Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture or the trust indentures provided for in Section 2(a) hereof, as the case may be, to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities; and in connection therewith, cooperate with the trustee under any such indentures and the Holders of the Registrable Securities, to effect such changes (if any) to such indentures as may be required for such indentures to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable such indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.

(p) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its securityholders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, a consolidated earning statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 45 days after the end of any fiscal quarter (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of Denali Holding Inc., after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods; provided that this requirement shall be deemed satisfied by the Issuers complying with Section 4.03 of the Indenture.

(q) Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange, obtain an opinion of counsel to the Issuers, in a form customary for underwritten transactions, addressed to the applicable Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, that the Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Notes (and the related Guarantees), as the case may be, the related guarantee, if applicable, and the related indenture constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable, enforceable against the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications. If the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Registrable Securities by Holders to the Issuers (or to such other Person as directed by the Issuers), in exchange for the applicable series of Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Notes (and the related Guarantees), as the case may be, the Issuers shall mark, or cause to be marked, on such Registrable Securities that such Registrable Securities are being cancelled in exchange for the applicable series of Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Notes (and the related Guarantees), as the case may be; in no event shall such Registrable Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.

 

-16-


(r) Use reasonable efforts to cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. (“FINRA”).

(s) Use reasonable efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Exchange Securities and/or Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby.

The Issuers may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Issuers such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Issuers may, from time to time, reasonably request. The Issuers may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any seller so long as such seller fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. Each seller as to which any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Issuers all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Issuers by such seller so that any prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration shall not contain, with respect to such Seller, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

If any such Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Issuers, then such Holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Issuers, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required.

Each Holder of Registrable Securities and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon actual receipt of any notice from the Issuers of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(c)(ii), 6(c)(iv), 6(c)(v), or 6(c)(vi) hereof, such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus or Exchange Securities to be sold by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, until such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k) hereof, or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Issuers that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto. In the event that the Issuers shall give any such notice, each of the Applicable Period and the Effectiveness Period shall be extended by the number of days during such periods from and including the date of the

 

-17-

  8. Indemnification and Contribution

(a) The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling

 

-18-


Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, and each Person, if any, who controls such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a “Participant”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any Participant may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus included therein (as amended or supplemented if the Issuers shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus; or

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state, in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus included therein (as amended or supplemented if the Issuers shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or any other document or any amendment or supplement thereto, in respect of such Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or, in respect of such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

except, in each case, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or any Holder furnished to the Issuers in writing through the Initial Purchasers or any selling Holder expressly for use therein;

and agree (subject to the limitations set forth in the proviso to this sentence) to reimburse, as incurred, the Participant for any reasonable legal or other out of pocket expenses incurred by the Participant in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, neither the Issuers nor the Guarantors will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Issuers shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to any Participant furnished to the Issuers by such Participant specifically for use therein. The indemnity provided for in this Section 8 will be in addition to any liability that the Issuers may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be liable under this Section 8 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by the Issuers and the Guarantors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Each Participant, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, the Guarantors, their respective directors (or equivalent), their respective officers who sign any Registration Statement, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the

 

-19-


Issuers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Issuers, the Guarantors or any such director, officer, affiliate or controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus, or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Participant, furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of such Participant, specifically for use therein; and subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Issuers, the Guarantors or any such director, officer, affiliate or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. The indemnity provided for in this Section 8 will be in addition to any liability that the Participants may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. The Participants shall not be liable under this Section 8 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by the Participants, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of written notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from any liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest (based on the advice of counsel to the indemnified person); (ii) such action includes both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel to the indemnified person) that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the

 

-20-


indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or separate but related or substantially similar proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel that is required to effectively defend against any such proceedings) representing the indemnified parties under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this Section 8, as the case may be, who are parties to such action or actions. Any such separate firm for any Participants shall be designated in writing by Participants who sold a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities and Exchange Securities sold by all such Participants in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 8 or the Issuers in the case of paragraph (b) of this Section 8. In the event that any Participants are indemnified persons collectively entitled, in connection with a proceeding or separate but related or substantially similar proceedings in a single jurisdiction, to the payment of fees and expenses of a single separate firm under this Section 8(c), and any such Participants cannot agree to a mutually acceptable separate firm to act as counsel thereto, then such separate firm for all such indemnified parties shall be designated in writing by Participants who sold a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities and Exchange Securities sold by all such Participants. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include any statement as to, or any admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.

(d) After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the third sentence of paragraph (c) of this Section 8 or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such indemnified party waived in writing its rights under this Section 8, in which case the indemnified party may effect such a settlement without such consent.

(e) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 8 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (other than by virtue of the failure of an indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party of its right to indemnification pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8, where such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses)), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or

 

-21-


liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). The relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand and such Participant on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) of the Securities received by the Issuers bear to the total discounts and commissions received by such Participant in connection with the sale of the Securities (or if such Participant did not receive discounts or commissions, the value of receiving the Securities, Private Exchange Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act). The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand, or the Participants on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The parties agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (e). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (e), no Participant shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts, commissions and other compensation or net proceeds on the sale of Securities received by such Participant in connection with the sale of the Securities, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such Participant has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue or alleged untrue statements or the omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact, and no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls a Participant within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Participants, and each director of the Issuers and the Guarantors, each officer of the Issuers and the Guarantors and each person, if any, who controls any of the Issuers and the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers.

 

  9. Rule 144A

The Issuers covenant and agree that they will use reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and, if at any time the Issuers are not required to file such reports, the Issuers will, upon the reasonable request of any Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities, make available such information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A. The Issuers further covenant and agree, for so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding that they will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144A unless the Issuers are then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and reports filed thereunder satisfy the information requirements of Rule 144A then in effect.

 

-22-


  10. Underwritten Registrations

The Issuers shall not be required to assist in an underwritten offering unless requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities. If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Registrable Securities included in such offering and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuers.

No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

  11. Miscellaneous

(a) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Issuers has, as of the date hereof, and the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Issuers’ other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall not enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any of the Securities which will grant to any Person piggy-back registration rights with respect to any Registration Statement.

(b) Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Registrable Securities as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement with respect to each series of Notes may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, otherwise than with the prior written consent of (I) the Issuers, and (II) (A) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Registrable Securities of such series of Notes and (B) in circumstances that would adversely affect the Participating Broker-Dealers, the Participating Broker-Dealers holding not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of Exchange Notes held by all Participating Broker-Dealers; provided, however, that Section 8 and this Section 11(c) may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of each Holder and each Participating Broker-Dealer (including any person who was a Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer of Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, disposed of pursuant to any Registration Statement) affected by any such amendment, modification or supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Securities of a series of Notes whose securities are being sold pursuant to

 

-23-


a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities of such series that are not being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities of the applicable series of Notes being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement.

FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

This FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of September 6, 2016, by and among Diamond 1 Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco 1”), Diamond 2 Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finco 2” and, together with Finco 1, the “Fincos”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Fincos and the Trustee have heretofore executed and delivered an indenture, dated as of June 22, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the supplemental indenture for each series of Initial Notes (as defined below) (together with the Base Indenture, the “Initial Indenture” and, together with this Supplemental Indenture, and as further amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of $1,625,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2021 and $1,625,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2024 (each, a “series of Initial Notes”);

WHEREAS, Section 9.01(10) of the Base Indenture provides that, without the consent of Holders of any series of Notes, the Fincos and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Notes of such series; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01(10) of the Base Indenture, the Fincos and the Trustee are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture to amend or supplement the Base Indenture without the consent of any Holder of any series of Notes.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree as follows:

(1) Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Initial Indenture.

(2) Amendments. Subject to and effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto, the Indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to all Notes issued pursuant thereto, including the Initial Notes) hereby is amended as follows:

(a) Amendment to Section 4.03(d)(1). Clause (1) of Section 4.03(d) of the Base Indenture hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(1) as promptly as reasonably practicable after furnishing to the Trustee the annual and quarterly reports required by Section 4.03(a), hold a conference call to discuss such reports and the results of operations for the relevant reporting period; provided, however, that such conference call may be held earlier in the case that Dell, in its sole discretion, elects (but shall not be obligated) to furnish (and has furnished) to the Trustee and the other Persons specified in Section 4.03(c) and in the manner provided in Section 4.03(c) for any relevant reporting period, in addition to, and not in lieu of, the annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, required by Section 4.03(a) with respect to such reporting period, annual or quarterly summary financial information, as applicable, containing a summary discussion of the results of operations for such reporting period and


summary condensed consolidated annual or quarterly income statement and balance sheet, as applicable, without notes thereto, with respect to such reporting period (such summary financial information, a “Summary Report”), so long as such annual or quarterly report for such reporting period does not contain material information that would customarily be discussed on an earnings conference call, other than (x) information that was already discussed on such conference call or (y) information contained in the Summary Report for such reporting period (which conference call, for the avoidance of doubt, may be held prior to such time that the annual or quarterly reports required by Section 4.03(a) for such reporting period are furnished to Holders); and”

(b) Amendment to definition of “Grandfathered Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” The reference to “SecureWorks Holding Corp.” in the definition of “Grandfathered Unrestricted Subsidiaries” in the Base Indenture is replaced by the words “SecureWorks Corp.”

(3) Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indenture Part of Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Initial Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.

(4) Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(5) Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

(6) Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

(7) Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals. The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Fincos, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture.

in each case, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCA Election”), with such option to be exercised on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreements related to such Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Company could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Company or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations; however, if any ratios improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Company has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of the incurrence ratios subject to the LCA Election on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and, other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required hereby.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice the Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrowers (or other Person on behalf of the Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Swingline Lender to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and thereafter to the Borrowers, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

(d) The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional Swingline Lenders one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as a Swingline Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, executed by the Borrowers, the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent and such designated Swingline Lender, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as a lender of Swingline Loans hereunder.

(e) The Borrowers may terminate the appointment of any Swingline Lender as a “Swingline Lender” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Swingline Lender, with a copy to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Swingline Lender’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the Swingline Exposure of such Swingline Lender shall have been reduced to zero. Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such termination, but shall not make any additional Swingline Loans.

 

-68-


(f) Any Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Term A/Revolver Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Term A/Revolver Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of a Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

(g) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, any Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Term A/Revolver Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.04(f) above.

SECTION 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.22), each Issuing Bank that is so requested by a Borrower agrees, in reliance upon the agreement of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in dollars, euro or Sterling for any Borrower’s own account (or for the account of any Subsidiary so long as a Borrower and such other Subsidiary are co-applicants and jointly and severally liable in respect of such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, which shall reflect the standard operating procedures of such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period and prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, provided that, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be issued hereunder; provided, further, that if applicable Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures do not provide for the issuance of electronic Letters of Credit, it shall only be required to issue paper Letters of Credit hereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired (without any drawing having been made thereunder that has not been rejected or honored) or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(b) Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), a Borrower shall deliver in writing by hand delivery or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the recipient) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent (at least five Business Days before the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension or such shorter period as the applicable Issuing Bank and the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent may agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section 2.05), the currency and amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, such Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit or bank guarantee application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit (an “LC Application”). Other than with respect to the deemed issuance hereunder of each Existing Letter of Credit on the Effective Date, a Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit

 

-69-


the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) subject to Section 9.04(b)(ii), the Applicable Fronting Exposure of each Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment or its Revolving Commitment (other than to the extent of any Existing Letters of Credit issued thereby), (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments, (iii) the Revolving Exposure of the applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Revolving Commitment, (iv) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments and (v) the LC Exposure of the applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment. No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue (or amend) any Letter of Credit that is not a Standby Letter of Credit, unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank, or to issue (or amend) any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing (or amending) the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit the issuance (or amendment) of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of general application of such Issuing Bank now or hereafter applicable to letters of credit generally, (iii) except as otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $500,000 or (iv) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, if after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv), any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with such Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued (or amended) or such Letter of Credit and all other LC Exposure as to which such Issuing Bank has Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure.

(c) Notice. Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not permit any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall have given to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent any written notice thereof required under paragraph (m) of this Section and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees to give such notice.

(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit (other than each Existing Letter of Credit) shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided that if such expiry date is not a Business Day, such Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to close of business on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit may, upon the request of a Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof within the time period specified in such Letter of Credit or, if no such time period is specified, at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date, that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed; provided, further, that with respect to any Existing Letter of Credit that expires later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, (A) no Revolving Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in respect of such Existing Letter of Credit) shall have any liabilities or obligations in respect of such Existing Letter of Credit after the Revolving Maturity Date and (B) on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall pledge and deposit with or deliver to each Issuing Bank that issued any such Existing Letter of Credit cash or deposit account balances under the sole dominion and control of such Issuing Bank or, if such Issuing Bank shall agree in its sole discretion, other credit support, in each case pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank and in an amount equal to the amount available to be drawn under each such Existing Letter of Credit.

(e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof (or, in the case of any Existing Letter of Credit, on the Effective Date), and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally acquires from such Issuing Bank without recourse or warranty (regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall have

 

-70-


been satisfied), a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 2.05 in dollars, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Existing Letter of Credit), the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank, with notice of such payment given to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent, an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the same currency as the LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrowers receive notice of such LC Disbursement; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000, the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing or a Swingline Loan, in each case in an equivalent amount, and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Loan Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement (expressed in dollars in the amount of Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than dollars), the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in dollars and in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank in dollars or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ joint and several obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 2.05 and the obligations of the Revolving Lenders as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (v) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that such Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, the Issuing Bank or any other person, or (vi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error,

 

-71-


omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or refusal shall be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent and the Borrowers by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic communication (if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.

(i) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to (x) in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in dollars, ABR Revolving Loans and (y) in the case of an LC Disbursement that is not denominated in dollars, Eurocurrency Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 2.05, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable within two Business Days of demand or, if no demand has been made, within two Business Days of the date on which the Borrowers reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full. If any Revolving Lender shall not have made its Applicable Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent as provided in clause (f) above, such Revolving Lender shall agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid at a rate determined by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50.0% of the aggregate LC Exposure of all Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent, in the name of the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, an amount of cash in dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the portions of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (h) or (i) of Section

 

-72-


7.01. The Borrowers also shall deposit Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit shall be held by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, if any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), then promptly upon the request of the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). The Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent in Permitted Investments and at the Borrowers risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50.0% of the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Revolving Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or after the termination of Defaulting Lender status, as applicable. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrowers would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(k) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, executed by the Borrowers, the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent and such designated Revolving Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.

(l) Termination of an Issuing Bank. The Borrowers may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit.

(m) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be reasonably requested by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) within five Business Days following the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the currency and face amount of the Letters of Credit issued,

 

-73-


amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and currency and amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; provided that Bank of America, N.A. shall not be required to produce such reports in its capacity as an Issuing Bank.

(n) Existing Letters of Credit. The Existing Letters of Credit will be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement on the Effective Date.

(o) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP98 shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of UCP shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit, and as to all matters not governed thereby, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in dollars by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the Applicable Account of the applicable Administrative Agent most-recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The applicable Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(f) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(b) Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the applicable Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to a Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the applicable Administrative Agent. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the applicable Administrative Agent therefor, the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower, and the applicable Borrower agrees to pay such corresponding amount to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The applicable Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or applicable Borrower interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the applicable Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, if such Borrowing is denominated in dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.13. If such Lender pays such amount to the applicable Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(c) Obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.03(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and, other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.03(c).

(2) The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C). The Borrowers agree to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

 

-79-


(3) If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrowers will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro-rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrowers of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and tranches of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (z) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrowers and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the applicable Borrower shall be due and payable by such Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(D) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrowers may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrowers, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate dollar amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the tranche or tranches of Term Loans the applicable Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by such Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.

(2) The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrowers with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrowers shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrowers (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrowers elect to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of

 

-80-


receipt by the Borrowers from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrowers shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrowers by the Acceptance Date, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(3) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrowers at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.11(a)(ii)(D)). If the Borrowers elect to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrowers agree to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrowers will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the Borrowers of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the tranches to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to each Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to each Borrower shall be due and payable by the applicable Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(E) In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrowers and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from the Borrowers in connection therewith.

(F) If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (B) through (D) above, the applicable Borrower shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Such Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Auction Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so

 

-81-


prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the tranches of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.

(G) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent, with the provisions in this Section 2.11(a)(ii), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the applicable Borrower or Borrowers.

(H) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(I) Each of the Borrowers and the Term Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.11(a)(ii) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.

(J) The Borrowers shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to this subclause (J), any failure by the Borrowers to make any prepayment to a Term Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 7.01 or otherwise).

Notwithstanding anything to contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall permit any transaction permitted by such section to be conducted on a Class by Class basis and on a non-pro rata basis across Classes (but not within a single Class), in each case, as selected by the Company.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments (including as a result of a determination with respect to the Dollar Equivalent of any Letter of Credit made by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 1.06), the Borrowers shall prepay Revolving Loan Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit Cash Collateral in an account with the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount necessary to eliminate such excess.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall, within ten Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received (or, in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” on the date of such Prepayment Event), prepay Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the Disposition Percentage of the amount of such Net Proceeds; provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” after the Company and the Borrowers have met the Reinvestment Trigger, if the Company, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries invest (or commit to invest) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within 450 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds in the business of the Company and the other Subsidiaries (including any acquisitions or other Investment permitted under Section 6.04), then no prepayment shall be required

 

-82-


pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the applicable portion of such Net Proceeds, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested) by the end of such 450 day period (or if committed to be so invested within such 450 day period, have not been so invested within 630 days after receipt thereof), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested); provided, further, that after the Company and the Borrowers have met the Reinvestment Trigger, the Borrowers may use a portion of such Net Proceeds to prepay or repurchase any other Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Borrowings to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Proceeds and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such other Indebtedness.

(d) Following the end of each fiscal year of the Company, commencing with the fiscal year ending February 2, 2018, the Borrowers shall prepay Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year; provided that (A) such amount shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of prepayments of (i) Term Loans (and, to the extent the Revolving Commitments are reduced in a corresponding amount pursuant to Section 2.08, Revolving Loans) made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior to the time such prepayment is due as provided below (provided that such reduction as a result of prepayments pursuant to clause (ii) thereof shall be limited to the actual amount of such cash prepayment) and (ii) other Consolidated First Lien Debt (provided that in the case of the prepayment of any revolving commitments, there is a corresponding reduction in commitments), excluding, in each case, all such prepayments funded with the proceeds of other long-term Indebtedness or the issuance of Equity Interests and (B) no prepayment shall be required under this Section 2.11(d) unless the amount thereof (after giving effect to the foregoing clause (A)) would equal or exceed $25,000,000. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or before the date that is eight Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated.

(e) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrowers shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section. In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loan Borrowings made at a time when Term Loan Borrowings of more than one Class remain outstanding, the Borrowers shall select which Class (or Classes) of Term Loan Borrowings to be prepaid in their sole discretion; provided that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated pro rata among the Term Loan Borrowings of each such Class; provided, further, that (i) while there are any amounts outstanding under the Asset Sale Bridge Facility, Term A-1 Facility or Term A-3 Facility, all mandatory prepayments required pursuant to clause (c) above shall be applied (A) first, to the Asset Sale Bridge Facility until there are no amounts outstanding thereunder, (B) second, to the Term A-1 Facility until there are no amounts outstanding thereunder and (C) third, to the Term A-3 Facility until there are no amounts outstanding thereunder and (ii) any Term Lender (and, to the extent provided in the Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Offer for any Class of Other Term Loans, any Lender that holds Other Term Loans of such Class) may elect, by notice to the applicable Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) at least one Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans or Other Term Loans of any such Class pursuant to this Section (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section or a mandatory prepayment as a result of the Prepayment Event set forth in clause (b) of the definition thereof, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Term Loans or Other Term Loans of any such Class but was so declined shall be retained by the Company, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries (such amounts, “Retained Declined Proceeds”). Optional prepayments of Term Loan Borrowings shall be allocated among the Classes of Term Loan Borrowings as directed by the Borrowers. In the absence of a designation by the Borrowers as described in the preceding provisions of this paragraph of the Type of Borrowing of any Class, the applicable Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.16.

 

-83-


(f) The Borrowers shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the applicable Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. At the Borrowers’ election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Term Loan or Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender and shall be allocated ratably among the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11(c) or (d), (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to a Borrower, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or (d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to a Borrower (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or (d), as applicable, and (B) to the extent that and for so long as a Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or (d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that when such Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or (d), as applicable.

SECTION 2.12 Fees.

(a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent in dollars for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the third Business Day following the last day of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

 

-84-


(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate, in each case, used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure. In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to such Borrower for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (or if terminated on an earlier date to the termination date of such Letter of Credit), computed at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum or such other percentage per annum to be agreed upon between the Borrower Agent and such Issuing Bank of the daily outstanding amount of such Letter of Credit, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each January, April, July and October shall be payable in accordance with clause (c) below; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand until the expiration or cancellation of all outstanding Letters of Credit. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the applicable Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(d) The Company agrees to pay to each Administrative Agent, for its own account, an agency fee payable in the amount and at the times separately agreed upon between Company and such Administrative Agent.

(e) The Company agrees to pay to the Term Loan B Administrative Agent on the Effective Date (and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date) for the account of each Term B Lender a non-refundable ticking fee (the “Ticking Fee”), which shall accrue from and after June 3, 2016 (the “Start Date”) to the Effective Date, in an amount equal to (A) for the period from the Start Date to the Ticking Fee Trigger Date, zero percent (0%), (B) for the 30-day period commencing on the Ticking Fee Trigger Date a rate per annum calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed during such period, equal to 50% of the Applicable Rate applicable to Term B Loans that are Eurocurrency Loans (assuming that the Term B Facility was effective on such dates) (excluding the Adjusted LIBO Rate and associated floor) and (C) thereafter, a rate per annum calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed during such period, equal to 100% of the Applicable Rate applicable to Term B Loans that are Eurocurrency Loans (assuming that the Term B Facility was effective on such dates) (excluding the Adjusted LIBO Rate and associated floor), in each case, calculated in respect of the aggregate principal amount of Term B Loans allocated to such Term B Lenders during such period. At the option of the Company, the Ticking Fee may be netted against the proceeds of the Term B Loans on the Effective Date.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 2.22, no Borrower shall be obligated to pay any amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12; provided that such amounts shall be payable to any non-Defaulting Lender which assumes the obligations of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iv).

SECTION 2.13 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, during the continuance of an Event of Default under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) on any overdue amount, reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that such amounts shall be payable to any non-Defaulting Lender which assumes the obligations of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(iv).

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All computations of interest for ABR Loans (including ABR Loans determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.18, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a) the applicable Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the applicable Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period (in each case with respect to the Loans impacted by this clause (b) or clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”),

(c) the applicable Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the applicable Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the LIBO Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended; provided, however, that, in each case, the Borrowers may revoke any Borrowing Request that is pending when such notice is received.

 

-86-


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of this Section 2.14 and/or is advised by the Required Lenders of their determination in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 2.14 and the Borrowers shall so request, the applicable Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of “LIBO Rate” and other applicable provisions to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change; provided that, until so amended, such Impacted Loans will be handled as otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Lender to any Taxes on its Loans, letters of credit, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the actual cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the actual cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered, provided that to the extent any such costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules, guidelines or directives enacted or promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Basel III after the Effective Date, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to the extent such Lender is imposing such charges on similarly situated borrowers under the other syndicated credit facilities that such Lender is a lender under. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) will not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company in reasonable detail, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof.

 

-87-


(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by any such event (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the actual loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 2.16, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Loan made by it at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt of such demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.16 will not apply to losses, costs or expenses resulting from Taxes, as to which Section 2.17 shall govern.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) an Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law.

(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or by an Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrowers shall deliver to each Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents.

 

-88-


(e) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent (i) as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable the Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse or time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so.

Without limiting the foregoing:

(1) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(2) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms),

(D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or

 

-89-


(E) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(3) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or any Borrower or the applicable Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or a Borrower or the applicable Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA , to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (3), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) If a Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the applicable Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by a Borrower; provided that (a) the applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be prejudiced by cooperating in such challenge, (b) such Borrower pays all related expenses of the applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable and (c) such Borrower indemnifies the applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for any liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge. The applicable Administrative Agent or a Lender shall claim any refund that it determines is reasonably available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. If the applicable Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to the such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at a Borrower’s request, provide such Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that the applicable Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.17(f) shall not be construed to require any Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential to any Loan Party or any other Person).

(g) The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(h) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.

 

-90-


(i) In addition, if applicable, each Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers (x)(I) in the case of the Term Loan B Administrative Agent, prior to the date on which the first payment by the Borrowers is due hereunder or (II) in the case of any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Article VIII that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, prior to the first date on or after the date on which such Administrative Agent becomes a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII on which payment by the Borrowers is due hereunder, as applicable, two copies of a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that such Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code pursuant to Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) or Section 1.441-1T(b)(2)(iv), as applicable, of the United States Treasury Regulations, and (y) on or before the date on which any such previously delivered documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrowers, and from time to time if reasonably requested by the Borrowers, two further copies of such documentation.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or reimbursement of LC Disbursement or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the applicable Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the applicable Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be made as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension. All payments or prepayments of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, all reimbursements of any LC Disbursements shall be made in dollars, all payments of accrued interest payable on a Loan or LC Disbursement shall be made in dollars, and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the applicable Administrative Agent to pay fully all applicable amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of applicable interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the applicable amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of applicable principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of a given Class or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans of the same Class or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class or participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment

 

-91-


giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Company or the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant (including a Purchasing Borrower Party) or (C) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders that have consented to any such extension. The Company and the Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company or the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company or the Borrowers, as applicable, in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company or the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the such Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Company or the Borrowers will not make such payment, such Administrative Agent may assume that the Company or the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Company or the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to such Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), Section 2.05(e), Section 2.05(f), Section 2.06(a), Section 2.06(b), Section 2.06(c), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by such Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by such Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as Cash Collateral for, and to be applied to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or any event that gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.23, (ii) the Company or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender or an Affiliated Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation), provided that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the applicable Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be

 

-92-


required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned and delegated, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender), which consents, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the then market value of the outstanding principal of its Loans and unreimbursed participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued but unpaid interest thereon, accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (C) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the applicable Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii) and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.23, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Company, the applicable Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

-93-


maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Incremental Term Loan, no consent shall be required from the Term Loan B Administrative Agent or any of the Term B Lenders to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is (1) also added for the benefit of any existing Loans or (2) only applicable after the Latest Maturity Date), (E) any Incremental Term Loan that has terms and conditions consistent with the Term A Loans in the reasonable determination of the applicable Borrower (an “Incremental Term A Loan”) shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Company and the applicable Additional Lenders; provided, that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Term A Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (A) or (B) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent (it being understood that, to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Incremental Term Loan, no consent shall be required from the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent or any of the Term A Lenders to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is (1) also added for the benefit of any existing Loans or (2) only applicable after the Latest Maturity Date), and (F) such Incremental Term Loans may be provided in any currency as mutually agreed among the applicable Administrative Agent, the Company and the applicable Additional Lenders. Each Incremental Term Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (unless the applicable Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent otherwise agree); provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000, if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans set forth above; provided that, prior to September 7, 2017, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans incurred pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Incremental Cap” and which have a maturity date less than two years after the Term B Maturity Date or Term A-2 Maturity Date, as applicable, in the event that the Applicable Rates for any (i) Incremental Term B Loan are greater than the Applicable Rates for the Term B Loans by more than 0.50% per annum, then the Applicable Rates for the Term B Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Applicable Rates for the Term B Loans are equal to the Applicable Rates for the Incremental Term B Loans minus 0.50% per annum, or (ii) Incremental Term A Loan are greater than the Applicable Rates for the Term A-2 Loans and/or Term A-1 Loans by more than 0.50% per annum, then the Applicable Rates for the Term A Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Applicable Rates for the Term A-2 Loans and/or Term A-1 Loans are equal to the Applicable Rates for the Incremental Term A Loans minus 0.50% per annum (this proviso, collectively, the “MFN Protection”); provided, further, that with respect to any Incremental Term Loans that do not bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, for purposes of calculating the applicable increase (if any) in the Applicable Rates for the Term B Loans or Term A Loans in the preceding provisos, the Applicable Rate for such Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be the interest rate (calculated after giving effect to any increases required pursuant to the immediately succeeding proviso) of such Incremental Term Loans less the then applicable LIBO Rate; provided, further, that in determining the Applicable Rates applicable to the Term B Loans, the Incremental Term B Loans, the Term A Loans and the Incremental Term A Loans (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed, solely for purposes of this clause (x), to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders of the Term B Loans, the Incremental Term B Loans, the Term A Loans and the Incremental Term A Loans in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID or upfront fees being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) (1) with respect to the Term B Loans, to the extent that the LIBO Rate on the closing date of the Incremental Facility Amendment is less than the “LIBOR floor”, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the Applicable Rate for the Term B Loans solely for the purpose of determining whether an increase in the Applicable Rate for the Term B Loans shall be required, (2) with respect to the Incremental Term B Loans, to the extent that the LIBO Rate on the closing date of the Incremental Facility Amendment is less than the interest rate floor, if any, applicable to the Incremental Term B Loans, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the Applicable Rate for the Incremental Term B Loans solely for the purpose of determining whether an increase in the Applicable Rate for the Term B Loans shall be required), (3) with respect to the Term A Loans, to the extent that the LIBO Rate on the closing date of the Incremental Facility Amendment is less than the “LIBOR floor”, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the Applicable Rate for the Term A Loans solely for the purpose of determining whether an increase in the Applicable Rate for the Term A Loans shall be required and (4) with respect to the Incremental Term A Loans, to the extent that the LIBO Rate on the closing date of the Incremental Facility Amendment is less than the interest rate floor, if any, applicable to the Incremental Term A Loans, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the Applicable Rate for the Incremental Term A Loans solely for the purpose of determining whether an increase in the Applicable Rate for the Term A Loans shall be required) and (z) the Ticking Fee payable to Term B Lenders hereunder, customary arrangement, commitment fees, other ticking fees or other similar fees payable to the Lead Arrangers (or their respective Affiliates) in connection with the Term B Loans, the Term A Loans or the Revolving Loans as applicable, or to one or more arrangers (or their Affiliates) of the Incremental Term B Loans, Incremental Term A Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, shall be excluded. Each Incremental Term Loan may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Term A Loans, Term B Loans, the Term Cash Flow Loans, the Term A-3 Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable.

 

-94-


(c) The Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be treated the same as the Class of Revolving Commitments being increased (including with respect to maturity date thereof) and shall be considered to be part of the Class of Revolving Credit Facility being increased (it being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors and undrawn commitment fees on the Class of Revolving Commitments being increased may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase (without any requirement to pay such fees to any existing Revolving Lenders)).

(d) The Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments (i) shall rank equal in right of payment with the Revolving Loans, shall be secured only by the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations and shall only be guaranteed by the Loan Parties, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Revolving Maturity Date and shall require no mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, (iii) subject to clause (vii) below, shall have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, undrawn commitment fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts, prepayment terms and premiums and commitment reduction and termination terms as determined by the borrowers and the lenders of such commitments, (iv) shall contain borrowing, repayment and termination of Commitment procedures as determined by the Borrowers and the lenders of such commitments, (v) subject to clause (iv) if the Ratings Condition is not satisfied at the time such Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments are established, may include provisions relating to letters of credit, as applicable, issued thereunder, which issuances shall be on terms substantially similar (except for the overall size of such subfacilities, the fees payable in connection therewith and the identity of the letter of credit issuer, as applicable, which shall be determined by the Borrowers, the lenders of such commitments and the applicable letter of credit issuers and borrowing, repayment and termination of commitment procedures with respect thereto, in each case which shall be specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment) to the terms relating to the Letters of Credit with respect to the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (vi) prior to September 7, 2017, with respect to any Incremental Revolving Loans incurred pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Incremental Cap” which have a maturity date less than two years after the Revolving Maturity Date, in the event that the Applicable Rate for any Incremental Revolving Loans are greater than the Applicable Rates for the Revolving Loans by more than 0.50% per annum, then the Applicable Rates for the Revolving Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Applicable Rates for the Revolving Loans are equal to the Applicable Rates for the Incremental Revolving Loans minus 0.50% per annum and (vii) may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Revolving Credit Facility (including currency denomination); provided that (x) except with respect to matters contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) (iii), (iv) and (vi) above, any differences shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent (except for covenants and other provisions applicable only to the periods after the Latest Maturity Date) and (y) the documentation governing any Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments may include financial maintenance covenant so long as the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such financial maintenance covenant for the benefit of each facility (provided, further, however, that, if the applicable new financial maintenance covenant is a “springing” financial maintenance covenant for the benefit of such revolving credit facility or covenant only applicable to, or for the benefit of, a revolving credit facility, such financial maintenance covenant shall be automatically included in this Agreement only for the benefit of each revolving credit facility hereunder (and not for the benefit of any term loan facility hereunder)).

(e) Each notice from the Company or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall set forth the requested amount of the relevant Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases or Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments.

(f) Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by

 

-95-


the Company, the Borrowers, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment (provided that no Lender shall be obligated to provide any loans or commitments under any Incremental Facility unless it so agrees), if any, each Additional Lender, if any, the applicable Administrative Agent and, in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender. Incremental Term Loans and loans under Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be a “Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Incremental Facility Amendment may without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable (including changing the amortization schedule of existing Term Loans in a manner required to make the Incremental Term Loans fungible with such Term Loans), in the reasonable opinion of the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20 (including, in connection with an Incremental Revolving Commitment Increase, to reallocate Revolving Exposure on a pro rata basis among the relevant Revolving Lenders). The Company may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Revolving Commitment Increases and Additional/Replacement Revolving Commitments for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.21 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (a) all or any portion of any Class of Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (b) all or any portion of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (b) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Commitments), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that the Net Proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Term Loans or reduction of Revolving Commitments being so refinanced, as the case may be; provided further that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.21 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans or $10,000,000 in the case of Other Revolving Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (in each case unless the applicable Borrower and the applicable Administrate Agent otherwise agree). Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, or the provision to the Borrowers of Swingline Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under the Revolving Commitments and reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender. The applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agents and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Bank, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Maturity Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.22 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 9.19), if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.11(f), any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to an Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the applicable Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the applicable Administrative Agent hereunder; second, in the case of a Revolving Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the applicable Administrative Agent; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, in the case of a Revolving Lender, if so determined by the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Loan Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Loan Party against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive or accrue any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.12(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.12(b).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.04 and Section 2.05, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender.

 

-97-


(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, such Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the applicable Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company or the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.23 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the applicable Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon three Business Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the applicable Administrative Agent shall, during the period of such suspension, compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component thereof until the applicable Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Each Lender agrees to notify the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 2.24 Loan Modification Offers.

(a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrowers may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the applicable Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to effect one or more Permitted Amendments relating to such Affected Class pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the applicable Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers (including mechanics to permit conversions, cashless rollovers and exchanges by Lenders and other repayments and reborrowings of Loans of Accepting Lenders or Non-Accepting Lenders replaced in accordance with this Section 2.24). Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.

(b) A Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement executed and delivered by Holdings, the Company, each Borrower, each applicable Accepting Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent; provided that no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless Holdings, the Company and the Borrowers shall have delivered to the applicable Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall be reasonably requested by such Administrative Agent in connection therewith. The applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each

 

-98-


Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the applicable Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.24, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed Loan Modification Offer, any Lender declines to consent to such Loan Modification Offer on the terms and by the deadline set forth in such Loan Modification Offer (each such Lender, a “Non-Accepting Lender”) then the Borrowers may, on notice to the applicable Administrative Agent and the Non-Accepting Lender, replace such Non-Accepting Lender in whole or in part by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all or any part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Loans and Commitments of the Affected Class to one or more Eligible Assignees (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that neither the Administrative Agents nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that (a) the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or Commitments on the terms set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment, (b) such Non-Accepting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of the Loans of the Affected Class assigned by it pursuant to this Section 2.24(c), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) and (c) unless waived, the Company or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the applicable Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b).

(d) No rollover, conversion or exchange (or other repayment or termination) of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Loan Modification Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.24 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 7.02 Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries fail to comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, at any time after the beginning of such fiscal quarter until the expiration of the 10th Business Day following the date on which the financial statements with respect to such fiscal quarter (or the fiscal year ended on the last day of such fiscal quarter) are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b), the Company or any Parent Entity thereof shall have the right to issue common Equity Interests or other Equity Interests (provided such other Equity Interests are reasonably satisfactory to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent) for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of the Company as cash common Equity Interests or other Equity Interests (provided such other Equity Interests are reasonably satisfactory to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent) (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Company of the Net Proceeds of such issuance that are not otherwise applied (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Company of such Cure Right such Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustment:

(a) Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter and any four fiscal quarter period that contains such fiscal quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Performance Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;

 

-135-


(b) if, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustment (without giving effect to any portion of the Cure Amount on the balance sheet of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to such fiscal quarter only but with giving pro forma effect to any portion of the Cure Amount applied to any repayment of any Indebtedness), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenants, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; and

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period of the Company there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) during the term of this Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times and (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenant and any amounts in excess thereof shall not be deemed to be a Cure Amount. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Cure Amount received pursuant to any exercise of the Cure Right shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Available Amount, the Available Equity Amount, any financial ratio-based conditions or tests, pricing or any available basket under Article VI of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS AND COLLATERAL AGENT

Each of the Term B Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch to serve as the Term Loan B Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Term Loan B Administrative Agent to take such actions and exercise such powers as are delegated to such Term Loan B Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Term A Lenders, the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to serve as the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent to take such actions and exercise such powers as are delegated to such Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender and each of the Issuing Banks hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender or Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental hereto, and acknowledges that the Collateral Agent is the beneficiary of the parallel debt referred to in the relevant Security Documents and the Collateral Agent will accept the parallel debt arrangements reflected in the relevant Security Documents on its behalf and will enter into the relevant Security Documents as pledgee in its own name. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VIII as though the Collateral Agent (and any such sub-agents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Each Person serving as an Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may

 

-136-


accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any other Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

No Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that no Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion, may expose such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Company, any Borrower, any other Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower, a Lender or Issuing Bank and no Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, or (vi) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have any liability arising from any confirmation of the Revolving Exposure or the component amounts thereof.

Any assignor of a Loan or seller of a participation hereunder shall be entitled to rely conclusively on a representation of the assignee Lender or Participant in the relevant Assignment and Assumption or participation agreement, as applicable, that such assignee or purchaser is an Eligible Assignee. No Agent shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information to, any Disqualified Lender.

Each Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Responsible Officer or Financial Officer of such Person). Each Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent also may rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Financial Officer or a Responsible Officer of such Person). Each Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company or a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

-137-


Each Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. Each Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as provided in this paragraph, an Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the applicable Lenders, Issuing Banks and the Company. If an Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender and is not performing its role hereunder as Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent may be removed as an Administrative Agent hereunder at the request of Holdings and the Required Pro Rata Lenders or the Required Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Pro Rata Lenders or the Required Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable shall have the right, with the Company’s consent (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Pro Rata Lenders or the Required Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, which shall be an Approved Bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such Approved Bank (the date upon which the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is replaced, the “Resignation Effective Date”). In the event that a Class of Loans or Commitments is repaid in full or terminated, as applicable, the Administrative Agent with respect to such Class of Loans or Commitments shall automatically resign as Administrative Agent under such Class of Loans or Commitments without any further action on its part and no successor agent shall be required to be appointed hereunder.

If a Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Pro Rata Lenders or the Required Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable and the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person remove such Person as an Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Company, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Pro Rata Lenders or the Required Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except (i) that in the case of any collateral security held by such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any outstanding payment obligations) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to such retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Pro Rata Lenders or the Required Term Loan B Lenders, as applicable appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as

 

-138-


applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth in this Section. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or any other Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or any other Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption, Incremental Facility Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Agreement pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agents or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

No Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the applicable Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, an Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and any such Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the applicable Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by such Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders at such sale or other disposition. Each Lender, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither any Joint Bookrunner nor any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Lead Arranger shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder, including under Section 9.03, fully as if named as an indemnitee or indemnified person therein and irrespective of whether the indemnified losses, claims, damages, liabilities and/or related expenses arise out of, in connection with or as a result of matters arising prior to, on or after the effective date of any Loan Document.

To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agents may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for an Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of an Administrative Agent to properly

 

-139-


withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify an Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by an Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the applicable Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due such Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of any Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents (to the extent that such waiver, amendment or modification does not affect the rights, duties, privileges or obligations of the Administrative Agents under this Agreement, the Administrative Agents shall execute such waiver, amendment or other modification to the extent approved by the Required Lenders) and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agents and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in principal) or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any change to the definition of “First Lien Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction of interest or fees), provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c), (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension of any maturity date), or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.10 or the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Agreement, or the reimbursement date with respect to any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby), (iv) change any of the

 

-141-


provisions of this Section without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided that any such change which is in favor of a Class of Lenders holding Loans maturing after the maturity of other Classes of Lenders (and only takes effect after the maturity of such other Classes of Loans or Commitments) will require the written consent of the Required Lenders with respect to each Class directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) lower the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) release all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), (vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) or (viii) change the currency in which any Loan is denominated, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, further, that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the applicable Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any amendment of this Section, (B) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency and (C) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into solely by Holdings, Intermediate Parent, the Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders stating that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agents, Holdings, the Company and the Borrowers (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion, (b) this Agreement and other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agents and Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers or any Loan Party as to which such agreement or agreements is to apply, without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or granting of powers by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Collateral Agent, in each case required to create in favor of the Collateral Agent any security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest, where an Administrative Agent shall have been advised by its counsel that such provisions are necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with Holdings, the Company and the Borrowers hereby agreeing to, and to cause their subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements upon reasonable request of an Administrative Agent promptly upon such request) and (c) upon notice thereof by the Company to the Administrative Agents with respect to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agents without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender to include such covenant on the date of the incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition or section.

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as any Lender that is acting as an Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (a) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the applicable Administrative Agent to the extent such

 

-142-


consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amounts under Section 2.11(a)(i)), payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (c) unless waived, the Company or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the applicable Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Revolving Commitments, Revolving Exposure and Term Loans of any Lender that is at the time a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class), all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of a Class) or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 9.02); provided that (i) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the applicable Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in such Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless such Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as such Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of such Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Secured Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Secured Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrowers.

(f) Without any further consent of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to negotiate, execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Intercreditor Agreement in a form substantially consistent with Exhibit E or Exhibit F hereto.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, only the Required Pro Rata Lenders shall have the ability to waive, amend, supplement or modify the covenant set forth in (x) Section 6.10, Article VII (solely as it relates to Section 6.10) or any component definition of the covenant set forth in Section 6.10 (solely as it relates to Section 6.10) or (y) Section 6.11 only to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification does not directly or indirectly affect Lenders (in their capacity as such) holding Loans other than Revolving Commitments and Term A Loans.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Company or the Borrowers shall pay, if the Effective Date occurs, (i) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and their Affiliates (without duplication), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP and to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agents to be necessary one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or otherwise retained with the Borrowers’ consent, in each case for the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent, and to the extent retained with the Borrowers’ consent, consultants, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof and (ii) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agents

 

-143-


and the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their respective rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their respective rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; provided that such counsel shall be limited to one lead counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel per affected party.

(b) The Company and the Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies the Company of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel) for all Indemnitees (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Holdings, the Company, a Borrower, any IPCo or any Subsidiary arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) to the extent in any way arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Holdings, the Company, a Borrower, any IPCo or any Subsidiary and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or a material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties or (ii) any dispute between and among indemnified persons that does not involve an act or omission by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries except that each Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and the Issuing Banks shall be indemnified in their capacities as such to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in clause (i) applies to such Person at such time.

(c) To the extent that the Company or any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to an Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting the Company’s and any Borrower’s obligation to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the applicable Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank, in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate Revolving Exposure, outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02 (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph (c)).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of Holdings, the Company or any Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

 

-144-


(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after written demand therefor; provided, however, that any Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Persons who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) and (iii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issued any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the applicable Administrative Agent) shall not be less than, in the case of a Revolving Loan or Revolving Commitment, $5,000,000 or, in the case of a Term Loan, $1,000,000, unless the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of

 

-145-


Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this subclause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which shall include a representation by the assignee that it meets all the requirements to be an Eligible Assignee), together (unless waived by the applicable Administrative Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or Section 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective; provided further that such recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments by any Affiliate of the Joint Bookrunners and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

Assignments of all or any portion of the Revolving Commitment of a Lender that is also an Issuing Bank may be made; provided that (1) the assignee (or any Lender with a Revolving Commitment who agrees to act in such capacity) shall be or become an Issuing Bank and assume a ratable portion of such assignor’s Letter of Credit Commitment and its rights and obligations in its capacity as Issuing Bank, (2) the assignor agrees, in its discretion, to retain all of its rights with respect to and obligations to make or issue Letters of Credit hereunder in which case the Applicable Fronting Exposure of such assignor may exceed such assignor’s Revolving Commitment for purposes of Section 2.05(b) by an amount not to exceed the difference between the assignor’s Revolving Commitment prior to such assignment and the assignor’s Revolving Commitment following such assignment and (3) if an assignment is not made in compliance with clauses (1) and (2) above, a ratable portion of such assignor’s Letter of Credit Commitment shall be permanently reduced (and the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced); provided that any such reduction of Letter of Credit Commitments pursuant to clause (3) shall increase the amount available under Section 6.01(a)(xvi)(B) on a dollar-for-dollar basis (any such increase, a “Letter of Credit Debt Basket Increase”).

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this Section.

(iv) Each Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company and the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the applicable Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender, nor shall any Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of the Loans or Incremental Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.

(vi) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the applicable Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee; provided that for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Company) (a “Participant”), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(b) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrower’s prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company, the Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrowers and applicable Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

(f) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Affiliated Lenders, subject to the following limitations:

(1) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agents or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agents, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this clause will not apply to the Affiliated Debt Funds;

(2) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document (including such modifications pursuant to Section 9.02), or, subject to Section 9.02(d), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter; and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided that Affiliated Debt Funds will not be subject to such voting limitations and will be entitled to vote as any other Lender;

(3) the aggregate principal amount of Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04 and held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) may not exceed 30% of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans plus the outstanding principal amount of all term loans made pursuant to any Incremental Term Loan calculated at the time such Loans are purchased (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

 

-148-


(4) Affiliated Lenders may not purchase Revolving Loans; and

(5) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Loans shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”); provided that each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required any Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, the aggregate amount of Loans held by any Affiliated Debt Funds shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions.

Each Affiliated Lender by its acquisition of any Loans outstanding hereunder will be deemed to have waived any right it may otherwise have had to bring any action in connection with such Loans against any Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, and will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that any Administrative Agent shall have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.

(g) Assignments of Term Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be permitted through open market purchases and/or “Dutch auctions”, so long as any offer to purchase or take by assignment (other than through open market purchases) by such Purchasing Borrower Party shall have been made to all Term Lenders, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Term Loans purchased are immediately cancelled and (iii) no proceeds from any loan under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be used to fund such assignments. Purchasing Borrower Parties may not purchase Revolving Loans.

(h) Upon any contribution of Loans to a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and upon any purchase of Loans by a Purchasing Borrower Party, (A) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Loans shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrowers on the date of such contribution or purchase (and, if requested by the applicable Administrative Agent, with respect to a contribution of Loans, any applicable contributing Lender shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the applicable Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in such Loans to the Borrowers for immediate cancellation) and (B) the applicable Administrative Agent shall record such cancellation or retirement in the Register.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the

 

-149-


Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Term Loan A/Revolver Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of any Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.05(e) or Section 2.05(f).

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Administrative Agent and when each Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The applicable Lender and applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount set off from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor.

SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each of parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate

 

-150-


court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that any Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each of parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and any failure of such Persons to comply with this Section 9.12 shall constitute a breach of this Section 9.12 by the relevant Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank, or the relevant Lender, as applicable), (b) (x) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process or (y) necessary in connection with the exercise of remedies; provided that, (i) in each case, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency or other routine examinations of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information and (ii) in the case of clause (y) only, each Lender and each Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Information is kept confidential in connection with the exercise of such remedies, and provided, further, that in no event shall any Lender or any Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, (c) to any other party to this Agreement, (d) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective

 

-151-


counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement relating to any Loan Party or their Subsidiaries and its obligations under the Loan Documents, (e) with the consent of the Company, in the case of Information provided by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower, any IPCo or any other Subsidiary, (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to either Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Holdings, the Company or any Borrower or (g) to any ratings agency or the CUSIP Service Bureau on a confidential basis. In addition, each of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Borrowings hereunder. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdings, the Company, any IPCo or any Borrower relating to Holdings, the Company, any Borrower, any IPCo, any Subsidiary or their business, other than any such information that is available to either Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings, the Company or any Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may provide the list of Disqualified Lenders to any potential assignee or participant on a confidential basis for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING HOLDINGS, THE BORROWERS, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR EITHER ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT HOLDINGS, THE BORROWERS, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SECTION 9.13 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender and each Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of Title III of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or such Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Title III of the USA Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.14 Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

 

-152-


(b) The obligations of the Company and the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Company and the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.15 Release of Liens and Guarantees. A Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by (and, in the case of clause (1) and, upon the request of the Borrowers, clause (2) below, the Equity Interests of) such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be automatically released, (1) upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (including pursuant to a merger with a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party or a designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or (2) upon the request of the Borrowers, in connection with a transaction permitted under this Agreement, as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan party ceases to be a wholly-owned Subsidiary. Upon (i) any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party (other than to Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or (ii) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral or the release of any Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to Section 9.02, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents or such guarantee shall be automatically released. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, all obligations under the Loan Documents and all security interests created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agents shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by either Administrative Agent. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agents to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agents or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(iv), (viii) or (xxii) to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agents).

SECTION 9.16 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of Holdings, the Company and each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers, the other Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 9.17 Effectiveness of the Mergers.

(a) The Target shall have no rights or obligations hereunder until the consummation of the Acquisition and the Merger, and any representations and warranties of the Target hereunder shall not become effective until such time. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the Target shall succeed to all the rights and obligations of Merger Sub under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and all representations and warranties of the Target shall become effective as of the date hereof, without any further action by any Person.

(b) Merger Co. shall have no rights or obligations hereunder until the consummation of Merger 2, and any representations and warranties of the Merger Co. hereunder shall not become effective until such time. Upon consummation of Merger 2, the Merger Co. shall succeed to all the rights and obligations of Dell International under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and all representations and warranties of Merger Co. shall become effective as of such time, without any further action by any Person.

 

-153-


SECTION 9.18 Obligations Joint and Several. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Loan Document to the contrary, prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Borrowers shall be severally but not jointly liable for their respective portions of any and all Loan Document Obligations. Immediately after the consummation of each Merger, the Borrowers shall have joint and several liability in respect of all Loan Document Obligations, without regard to any defense (other than the defense that payment in full has been made), setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any other Loan Party against the Lenders, or by any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrowers) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers’ liability hereunder, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, and the Loan Document Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Lenders or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Loan Document Obligations or against any Collateral or Guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that this Agreement is the independent and several obligation of each Borrower (regardless of which Borrower shall have delivered a request for borrowings under Section 2.03) and may be enforced against each Borrower separately, whether or not enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder has been sought against any other Borrower. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives, with respect to any of the Loans made to any other Borrower hereunder and any of the amounts owing hereunder by such other Loan Parties in respect of such Loans, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against such other Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of such amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.19 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Company or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations; however, if any ratios improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Company has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of the incurrence ratios subject to the LCA Election on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to a Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the Administrative Agent. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Administrative Agent therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower, and the applicable Borrower agrees to pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or applicable Borrower interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, if such Borrowing is denominated in dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.13. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Period Election Request shall be irrevocable and confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Period Election Request signed by the applicable Borrower.

(3) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrowers will make prepayment of outstanding Loans pursuant to this paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and tranches of Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2); provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro-rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrowers of the respective Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, tranche and Type of Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrowers and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrowers shall be due and payable by the Borrowers on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(C) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, a Borrower may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrowers, to each Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any Class of Loans on an individual tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the tranche or tranches of Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Loans with respect to each relevant tranche of Loans willing to be prepaid by a Borrower (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrowers shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding relevant Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”). Each relevant Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Loans of the applicable tranche or tranches and the maximum aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Lender’s Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Loan Prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.

(2) The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C). The Borrowers agree to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

(3) If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrowers will prepay the respective outstanding Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro-rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrowers of the respective Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and tranches of Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (z) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrowers and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the applicable Borrower shall be due and payable by such Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(D) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrowers may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrowers, to each Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any Class of Loans on an individual tranche basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate dollar amount of the Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the tranche or tranches of Loans the applicable Borrower is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by such Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time on the third

 

-52-


Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount.

(2) The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrowers with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrowers shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrowers (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrowers elect to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrowers from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrowers shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrowers by the Acceptance Date, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(3) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrowers at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.11(a)(ii)(D)). If the Borrowers elect to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrowers agree to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrowers will prepay outstanding Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the Borrowers of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Loans and the tranches to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of such Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to each Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to each Borrower shall be due and payable by the applicable Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

 

-53-


(E) In connection with any Discounted Loan Prepayment, the Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from the Borrowers in connection therewith.

(F) If any Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (B) through (D) above, the applicable Borrower shall prepay such Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Such Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Auction Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant tranche of Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the tranches of Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Loan Prepayment.

(G) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent, with the provisions in this Section 2.11(a)(ii), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the applicable Borrower or Borrowers.

(H) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(I) Each of the Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.11(a)(ii) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.

(J) The Borrowers shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to this subclause (J), any failure by the Borrowers to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 7.01 or otherwise).

Notwithstanding anything to contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall permit any transaction permitted by such section to be conducted on a Class by Class basis and on a non-pro rata basis across Classes (but not within a single Class), in each case, as selected by the Company.

(b) [Reserved].

 

-54-


(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall, within ten Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received (or, in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” on the date of such Prepayment Event), prepay Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Proceeds.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrowers shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section. In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Loan Borrowings made at a time when Loan Borrowings of more than one Class remain outstanding, unless the terms of such Loans provide otherwise, such prepayment shall be applied pro rata among such Classes. In the absence of a designation by the Borrowers as described in the preceding provisions of this paragraph of the Type of Borrowing of any Class, the Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.16.

(f) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. At the Borrowers’ election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender and shall be allocated ratably among the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11(c), (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) are prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to a Borrower, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c), and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to a Borrower (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c), and (B) to the extent that and for so long as a Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds, the Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c), and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that when such Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds, such Net Proceeds shall be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c), as applicable.

SECTION 2.12 Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an agency fee payable in the amount and at the times separately agreed upon between Company and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.13 Interest.

(a) All Loans shall constitute Fixed Rate Loans prior to the First Anniversary and shall bear interest at 4.875% per annum.

(b) All Loans shall constitute Eurocurrency Loans on and after the First Anniversary and shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, during the continuance of an Event of Default under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section; provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) on any overdue amount or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

(e) All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.18, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period (in each case with respect to the Loans impacted by this clause (b) or clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”),

the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of “LIBO Rate” and other applicable provisions to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change.

 

-56-


SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject any Lender to any Taxes on its Loans, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the actual cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered, provided that to the extent any such costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules, guidelines or directives enacted or promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Basel III after the Effective Date, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to the extent such Lender is imposing such charges on similarly situated borrowers under the other syndicated credit facilities that such Lender is a lender under. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) will not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company in reasonable detail, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(e) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (c) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in

 

-57-


any such event, the Borrowers shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by any such event (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the actual loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 2.16, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Loan made by it at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt of such demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.16 will not apply to losses, costs or expenses resulting from Taxes, as to which Section 2.17 shall govern.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law.

(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (i) as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse or time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so.

Without limiting the foregoing:

(1) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(2) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or

(E) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(3) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or any Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA , to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (3), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) If a Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by a Borrower; provided that (a) the Administrative Agent or such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be prejudiced by cooperating in such challenge, (b) such Borrower pays all related expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable and (c) such Borrower indemnifies the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for any liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge. The Administrative Agent or such Lender shall claim any refund that it determines is reasonably available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. If the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to the such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at a Borrower’s request, provide such Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.17(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential to any Loan Party or any other Person).

(g) The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(h) In addition, if applicable, in the case of any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Article VIII that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, such successor Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers (x) prior to the first date on or after the date on which such Administrative Agent becomes a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII on which payment by the Borrowers is due hereunder, as applicable, two copies of a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that such successor Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code pursuant to Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) or Section 1.441- 1T(b)(2)(iv), as applicable, of the United States Treasury Regulations and (y) on or before the date on which any such previously delivered documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrowers, and from time to time if reasonably requested by the Borrowers, two further copies of such documentation.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating

 

-60-


interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension. All payments or prepayments of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, all payments of accrued interest payable on a Loan shall be made in dollars, and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all applicable amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of applicable interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the applicable amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of applicable principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of a given Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans of the same Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Company or the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant (including a Purchasing Borrower Party) or (C) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders that have consented to any such extension. The Company and the Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company or the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company or the Borrowers, as applicable, in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company or the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Company or the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company or the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Company or the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

-61-


(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(a), Section 2.06(b), Section 2.06(c), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or any event that gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.23, (ii) the Company or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender or an Affiliated Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation), provided that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the then market value of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued but unpaid interest thereon, accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (C) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii) and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.23, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.20 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.21 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.22 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 9.19), if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02.

 

-62-


(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.11(e), any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to an Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Loan Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Loan Party against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company or the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.23 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon three Business Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay Eurocurrency Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of “LIBO Rate” and other applicable provisions to preserve the original intent thereof during the period of such suspension . Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Upon any prepayment or conversion pursuant to this Section 2.23, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 2.24 Loan Modification Offers.

(a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrowers may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to effect one or more Permitted Amendments relating to such Affected Class pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers (including mechanics to permit conversions, cashless rollovers and exchanges by Lenders and other repayments and reborrowings of Loans of Accepting Lenders or Non-Accepting Lenders replaced in accordance with this Section 2.24). Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and

 

-63-


conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.

(b) A Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement executed and delivered by Holdings, the Company, each Borrower, each applicable Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless Holdings, the Company and the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.24, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed Loan Modification Offer, any Lender declines to consent to such Loan Modification Offer on the terms and by the deadline set forth in such Loan Modification Offer (each such Lender, a “Non-Accepting Lender”) then the Borrowers may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Accepting Lender, replace such Non-Accepting Lender in whole or in part by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all or any part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Loans and Commitments of the Affected Class to one or more Eligible Assignees (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that (a) the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or Commitments on the terms set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment, (b) such Non-Accepting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of the Loans of the Affected Class assigned by it pursuant to this Section 2.24(c), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) and (c) unless waived, the Company or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b).

(d) No rollover, conversion or exchange (or other repayment or termination) of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Loan Modification Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.24 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to serve as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any other Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Company, any Borrower, any other Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower, a Lender and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

-97-


Any assignor of a Loan or seller of a participation hereunder shall be entitled to rely conclusively on a representation of the assignee Lender or Participant in the relevant Assignment and Assumption or participation agreement, as applicable, that such assignee or purchaser is an Eligible Assignee. No Agent shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information to, any Disqualified Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Responsible Officer or Financial Officer of such Person). The Administrative Agent also may rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Financial Officer or a Responsible Officer of such Person). The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company or a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, an Administrative Agent may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the applicable Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Company’s consent (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be an Approved Bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such Approved Bank (the date upon which the retiring Administrative Agent is replaced, the “Resignation Effective Date”).

If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders and the Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Company, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the

 

-98-


Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth in this Section. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or Loan Modification Agreement pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

No Lender shall have any right individually to enforce any Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Lender, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Guarantees of the Guaranteed Obligations, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither any Joint Bookrunner nor any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Lead Arranger shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder, including under Section 9.03, fully as if named as an indemnitee or indemnified person therein and irrespective of whether the indemnified losses, claims, damages, liabilities and/or related expenses arise out of, in connection with or as a result of matters arising prior to, on or after the effective date of any Loan Document.

To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for an Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

Each Borrower hereby appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices, it being understood that the Borrowers will receive the proceeds of the initial Loans on the Effective Date. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by a Borrower shall be valid and effective if given or taken by the Company, whether or not any Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Borrowers.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent (to the extent that such waiver, amendment or modification does not affect the rights, duties, privileges or obligations of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall execute such waiver, amendment or other modification to the extent approved by the Required Lenders) and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in principal) or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c), (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension of any maturity date), or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the principal amount of any Loan, as applicable, under the applicable Loan Modification Agreement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby), (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided that any such change which is in favor of a Class of Lenders holding Loans maturing after the maturity of other Classes of Lenders (and only takes effect after the maturity of such other Classes of Loans or Commitments) will require the written consent of the Required Lenders with respect to each Class directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) lower the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) release all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), (vii) [Reserved] or (viii) change the currency in which any Loan is denominated, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, further, that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, any amendment of this Section, (B) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency and (C) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into solely by Holdings, Intermediate Parent, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders stating that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings, the Company and the Borrowers (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion, (b) this Agreement and other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers or any Loan Party as to which such agreement or agreements is to apply, without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions and (c) upon notice thereof by the Company to the Administrative Agent with respect to

 

-101-


the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender to include such covenant on the date of the incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition or section.

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as any Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (a) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amounts under Section 2.11(a)(i)), payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (c) unless waived, the Company or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Loans of any Lender that is at the time a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class), all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of a Class) or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 9.02); provided that (i) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended nor the amounts owed to such Lender reduced or the final maturity thereof extended, without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Guaranteed Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Guaranteed Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrowers.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Company or the Borrowers shall pay, if the Effective Date occurs, (i) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (without duplication), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP and to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or otherwise retained with the Borrowers’ consent for the Administrative Agent, and to the extent retained with the Borrowers’ consent, consultants, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof and (ii) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their respective rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their respective rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans; provided that such counsel shall be limited to one lead counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel per affected party.

(b) The Company and the Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies the Company of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel) for all Indemnitees (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Holdings, the Company, a Borrower, any IPCo or any Subsidiary arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) to the extent in any way arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Holdings, the Company, a Borrower, any IPCo or any Subsidiary and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or a material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties or (ii) any dispute between and among indemnified persons that does not involve an act or omission by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries except that each Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners shall be indemnified in their capacities as such to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in clause (i) applies to such Person at such time.

(c) To the extent that the Company or any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to an Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting the Company’s and any Borrower’s obligation to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate outstanding Loans at the time. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(a) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph (c)).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of Holdings, the Company or any Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

 

-103-


(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after written demand therefor; provided, however, that any Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Persons who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) and (iii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (g) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Company) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of (A) the Company (such consent (except with respect to assignments to competitors of the Company) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment (1) by a Lender to any Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or (2) if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, by a Lender to any other assignee; and provided, further, that the Company shall have the right to withhold its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Company would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority and (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or to the Company or any Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.04 to the contrary, if any Person the consent of which is required by this paragraph with respect to any assignment of Loans has not given the Administrative Agent written notice of its objection to such assignment within 10 Business Days after written notice to such Person, such Person shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this subclause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which shall include a representation by the assignee that it meets all the requirements to be an Eligible Assignee), together (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or Section 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective;

 

-104-


provided further that such recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments by any Affiliate of the Joint Bookrunners and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company and the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender, nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of the Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b).

(vi) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee; provided that for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Company) (a “Participant”), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Holdings, the Company, the

 

-105-


Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(b) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrower’s prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

 

-106-


(f) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Affiliated Lenders, subject to the following limitations:

(1) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this clause will not apply to the Affiliated Debt Funds;

(2) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document (including such modifications pursuant to Section 9.02), or, subject to Section 9.02(d), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter; and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided that Affiliated Debt Funds will not be subject to such voting limitations and will be entitled to vote as any other Lender;

(3) the aggregate principal amount of Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04 and held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) may not exceed 30% of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans calculated at the time such Loans are purchased (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

(4) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”); provided that each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, the aggregate amount of Loans held by any Affiliated Debt Funds shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions.

Each Affiliated Lender by its acquisition of any Loans outstanding hereunder will be deemed to have waived any right it may otherwise have had to bring any action in connection with such Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, and will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.

(g) Assignments of Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be permitted through open market purchases and/or “Dutch auctions”, so long as any offer to purchase or take by assignment (other than through open market purchases) by such Purchasing Borrower Party shall have been made to all Lenders, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Loans purchased are immediately cancelled.

(h) Upon any contribution of Loans to a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and upon any purchase of Loans by a Purchasing Borrower Party, (A) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Loans shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrowers on the date of such contribution or purchase (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, with respect to a contribution of Loans, any applicable contributing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in such Loans to the Borrowers for immediate cancellation) and (B) the Administrative Agent shall record such cancellation or retirement in the Register.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The applicable Lender shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

(b) Each of parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that any Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each of parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

case, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency or other routine examinations of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information and (ii) in the case of clause (y) only, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Information is kept confidential in connection with the exercise of such remedies, and provided, further, that in no event shall any Lender or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, (c) to any other party to this Agreement, (d) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement relating to any Loan Party or their Subsidiaries and its obligations under the Loan Documents, (e) with the consent of the Company, in the case of Information provided by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower, any IPCo or any other Subsidiary, (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Holdings, the Company or any Borrower or (g) to any ratings agency or the CUSIP Service Bureau on a confidential basis. In addition, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Borrowings hereunder. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdings, the Company, any IPCo or any Borrower relating to Holdings, the Company, any Borrower, any IPCo, any Subsidiary or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings, the Company or any Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may provide the list of Disqualified Lenders to any potential assignee or participant on a confidential basis for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING HOLDINGS, THE BORROWERS, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT HOLDINGS, THE BORROWERS, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SECTION 9.13 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of Title III of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Title III of the USA Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.14 Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Company and the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Company and the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.15 Release of Guarantees. A Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, (1) upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (including pursuant to a merger with a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party or a designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary), (2) upon the request of the Borrowers, in connection with a transaction permitted under this Agreement, as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan party ceases to be a wholly-owned Subsidiary or (3) any concurrent release of such Loan Party under the Credit Facilities Credit Agreement (other than in the case of a refinancing of Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities Credit Agreement). Upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of any Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to Section 9.02, such guarantee shall be automatically released. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, all obligations under the Loan Documents shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.16 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of Holdings, the Company and each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, Holdings, the Company, the Borrowers, the other Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 9.17 Effectiveness of the Mergers. (a) The Target shall have no rights or obligations hereunder until the consummation of the Acquisition and the Merger, and any representations and warranties of the Target hereunder shall not become effective until such time. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the Target succeed to all the rights and obligations of Merger Sub under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and all representations and warranties of the Target shall become effective as of the date hereof, without any further action by any Person and (b) Merger Co. shall have no rights or obligations hereunder until the consummation of Merger 2, and any representations and warranties of the Merger Co. hereunder shall not become effective until such time. Upon consummation of Merger 2, Merger Co. shall succeed to all the rights and obligations of Dell International under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and all representations and warranties of Merger Co. shall become effective as of such time, without any further action by any Person.

 

-111-


SECTION 9.18 Obligations Joint and Several. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Loan Document to the contrary, prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Borrowers shall be severally but not jointly liable for their respective portions of any and all Guaranteed Obligations. Immediately after the consummation of each Merger, the Borrowers shall have joint and several liability in respect of all Guaranteed Obligations, without regard to any defense (other than the defense that payment in full has been made), setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any other Loan Party against the Lenders, or by any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrowers) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers’ liability hereunder, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, and the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Lenders or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any Guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that this Agreement is the independent and several obligation of each Borrower (regardless of which Borrower shall have delivered a request for borrowings under Section 2.03) and may be enforced against each Borrower separately, whether or not enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder has been sought against any other Borrower. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives, with respect to any of the Loans made to any other Borrower hereunder and any of the amounts owing hereunder by such other Loan Parties in respect of such Loans, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against such other Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of such amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 9.19 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All computations of interest for ABR Loans (including ABR Loans determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.18, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period (in each case with respect to the Loans impacted by this clause (b) or clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”),

(c) the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the LIBO Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended; provided, however, that, in each case, the Borrower may revoke any Borrowing Request that is pending when such notice is received.

 

-23-


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of this Section 2.14 and/or is advised by the Required Lenders of their determination in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 2.14 and the Borrower shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of “LIBO Rate” and other applicable provisions to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change; provided that, until so amended, such Impacted Loans will be handled as otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject any Lender to any Taxes on its Loans, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the actual cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered, provided that to the extent any such costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules, guidelines or directives enacted or promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Basel III after the Effective Date, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to the extent such Lender is imposing such charges on similarly situated borrowers under the other syndicated credit facilities that such Lender is a lender under. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) will not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by any such event (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the actual loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.16, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Loan made by it at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt of such demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.16 will not apply to losses, costs or expenses resulting from Taxes, as to which Section 2.17 shall govern.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the amount payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability and delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (i) as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse or time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material

 

-25-


respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so.

Without limiting the foregoing:

(1) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(2) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms),

(D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or

(E) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(3) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of

 

-26-


the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA , to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (3), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Borrower; provided that (a) the Administrative Agent or such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be prejudiced by cooperating in such challenge, (b) the Borrower pays all related expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable and (c) the Borrower indemnifies the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for any liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge. The Administrative Agent or such Lender shall claim any refund that it determines is reasonably available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. If the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.17(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential to the Borrower or any other Person).

(g) The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(h) In addition, if applicable, in the case of any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Article VIII that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, such successor Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower (x) prior to the first date on or after the date on which such Administrative Agent becomes a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII on which payment by the Borrower is due hereunder, as applicable, two copies of a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that such successor Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code pursuant to Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) or Section 1.441 1T(b)(2)(iv), as applicable, of the United States Treasury Regulations and (y) on or before the date on which any such previously delivered documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time if reasonably requested by the Borrower, two further copies of such documentation.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension. All payments or prepayments of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, all payments of accrued interest payable on a Loan shall be made in dollars, and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all applicable amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of applicable interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the applicable amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of applicable principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of a given Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans of the same Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant (including a Purchasing Borrower Party) or (C) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders that have consented to any such extension. The Borrower consent to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

-28-


(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to, Section 2.06(a), Section 2.06(b), Section 2.06(c), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or any event that gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.23, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender or an Affiliated Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation), provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consents, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the then market value of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued but unpaid interest thereon, accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (C) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii) and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.23, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.20 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.21 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of any Class of the Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for the avoidance of doubt, will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Loans), in the form of Other Loans or Other Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that the Net Proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Loans; provided, further that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued,

 

-29-


incurred or obtained. The Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.21 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (in each case unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Loans or Other Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.22 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 9.19), if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.11(f), any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.23 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon three Business Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, during the period of such suspension, compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 2.24 Loan Modification Offers.

(a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to effect one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (including mechanics to permit conversions, cashless rollovers and exchanges by Lenders and other repayments and reborrowings of Loans of Accepting Lenders or Non-Accepting Lenders replaced in accordance with this Section 2.24). Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.

(b) A Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower, each applicable Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.24, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed Loan Modification Offer, any Lender declines to consent to such Loan Modification Offer on the terms and by the deadline set forth in such Loan Modification Offer (each such Lender, a “Non-Accepting Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Accepting Lender, replace such Non-Accepting Lender in whole or in part by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all or any part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Loans and Commitments of the Affected Class to one or more Eligible Assignees (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that (a) the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or Commitments on the terms set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment, (b) such Non-Accepting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the

 

-31-


outstanding principal of the Loans of the Affected Class assigned by it pursuant to this Section 2.24(c), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) and (c) unless waived, the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii).

(d) No rollover, conversion or exchange (or other repayment or termination) of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Loan Modification Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.24 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to serve as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and

any sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Agreement, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VIII as though the Collateral Agent (and any such sub-agents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Each Person serving as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion, may expose the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Company, the Borrower, any other Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by Holdings, the Company, the Borrower, a Lender and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, or (vi) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Agreement.

No Agent shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information to, any Disqualified Lender.

The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the applicable Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, which shall be an Approved Bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such Approved Bank (the date upon which the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is replaced, the “Resignation Effective Date”).

If a Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders and the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except (i) that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any outstanding payment obligations) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to such retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents

as set forth in this Article VIII. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption, Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Agreement pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

No Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders at such sale or other disposition. Each Lender, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither any Joint Bookrunner nor any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Lead Arranger shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder, including under Section 9.03, fully as if named as an indemnitee or indemnified person therein and irrespective of whether the indemnified losses, claims, damages, liabilities and/or related expenses arise out of, in connection with or as a result of matters arising prior to, on or after the effective date of any Loan Document.

To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set

 

-40-


off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by either Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective

 

-41-


unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (to the extent that such waiver, amendment or modification does not affect the rights, duties, privileges or obligations of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall execute such waiver, amendment or other modification to the extent approved by the Required Lenders) and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in principal) or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c), (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension of any maturity date), or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the principal amount of any Loan, as applicable, under the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Agreement or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby), (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided that any such change which is in favor of a Class of Lenders holding Loans maturing after the maturity of other Classes of Lenders (and only takes effect after the maturity of such other Classes of Loans or Commitments) will require the written consent of the Required Lenders with respect to each Class directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) lower the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) [Reserved], (vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) or (viii) change the currency in which any Loan is denominated, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, further, that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any amendment of this Section (B) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency and (C) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into solely by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders stating that it would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion, (b) this Agreement and other Loan Documents may be amended

 

-42-


or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or granting of powers by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Collateral Agent, in each case required to create in favor of the Collateral Agent any security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest, where the Administrative Agent shall have been advised by its counsel that such provisions are necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with the Borrower hereby agreeing to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent promptly upon such request) and (c) upon notice thereof by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender to include such covenant on the date of the incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition or section.

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as any Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts, payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (c) unless waived, the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Loans of any Lender that is at the time a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class), all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of a Class) or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 9.02); provided that (i) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Loan Document Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Loan Document Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower shall pay, if the Effective Date occurs, (i) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their Affiliates (without duplication), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP and to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or otherwise retained with the Borrower’s consent, in each case for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and to the extent retained with the Borrower’s consent, consultants, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof and (ii) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their respective rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their respective rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans; provided that such counsel shall be limited to one lead counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel per affected party.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel) for all Indemnitees (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) to the extent in any way arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Company, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Holdings or any Subsidiary and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or a material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties or (ii) result from any dispute between and among indemnified persons that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower except that each Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners shall be indemnified in their capacities as such to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in clause (i) applies to such Person at such time.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate outstanding Loans at the time. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(a) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph (c)).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet),

 

-44-


provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after written demand therefor; provided, however, that any Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Persons who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) and (iii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (g) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of (A) the Borrower (such consent (except with respect to assignments to competitors of the Borrower) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment (1) by a Lender to any Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender, (2) by a Lender to an Approved Fund or (3) if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, by a Lender to any other assignee; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority and (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this subclause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which shall include a representation by the assignee that it meets all the requirements to be an Eligible Assignee), together (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made

 

-45-


pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or Section 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective; provided further that such recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments by any Affiliate of the Joint Bookrunners and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender, nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of the Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b).

(vi) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee; provided that for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower) (a “Participant”), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely

 

-46-


responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(b) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

 

-47-


(f) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Affiliated Lenders, subject to the following limitations:

(1) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this clause will not apply to the Affiliated Debt Funds;

(2) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document (including such modifications pursuant to Section 9.02), or, subject to Section 9.02(d), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter; and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided that Affiliated Debt Funds will not be subject to such voting limitations and will be entitled to vote as any other Lender;

(3) the aggregate principal amount of Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04 and held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) may not exceed 30% of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans calculated at the time such Loans are purchased (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

(4) [Reserved]; and

(5) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”); provided that each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by the Borrower therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, the aggregate amount of Loans held by any Affiliated Debt Funds shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions.

Each Affiliated Lender by its acquisition of any Loans outstanding hereunder will be deemed to have waived any right it may otherwise have had to bring any action in connection with such Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, and will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.

 

-48-


(g) Assignments of Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be permitted through open market purchases and/or “Dutch auctions”, so long as any offer to purchase or take by assignment (other than through open market purchases) by such Purchasing Borrower Party shall have been made to all Lenders, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Loans purchased are immediately cancelled.

(h) Upon any contribution of Loans to the Borrower and upon any purchase of Loans by a Purchasing Borrower Party, (A) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Loans shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of such contribution or purchase (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, with respect to a contribution of Loans, any applicable contributing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in such Loans to the Borrower for immediate cancellation) and (B) the Administrative Agent shall record such cancellation or retirement in the Register.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each of parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that any Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against the Borrower or its respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each of parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and any failure of such Persons to comply with this Section 9.12 shall constitute a breach of this Section 9.12 by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the relevant Lender, as applicable), (b) (x) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process or (y) necessary in connection with the exercise

 

-50-


of remedies; provided that, (i) in each case, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency or other routine examinations of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information and (ii) in the case of clause (y) only, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Information is kept confidential in connection with the exercise of such remedies, and provided, further, that in no event shall any Lender or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Holdings, the Company, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, (c) to any other party to this Agreement, (d) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (e) with the consent of the Company, in the case of Information provided by Holdings, the Company, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Holdings, the Company or the Borrower or (g) to any ratings agency or the CUSIP Service Bureau on a confidential basis. In addition, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Borrowings hereunder. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdings, the Company or the Borrower relating to Holdings, the Company, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings, the Company or the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may provide the list of Disqualified Lenders to any potential assignee or participant on a confidential basis for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT, WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SECTION 9.13 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of Title III of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Title III of the USA Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.14 [Reserved].

SECTION 9.15 Release of Liens. Upon (i) any sale or other transfer by the Borrower of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under Section 6.01 (without limiting obligations of the Borrower to comply with Section 2.11(e)) or (ii) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under the Collateral Agreement in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Collateral Agreement shall be automatically released. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, all obligations under the Loan Documents and all security interests created by the Collateral Agreement shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by either Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.16 No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 9.17 Effectiveness of the Mergers. The Target shall have no rights or obligations hereunder until the consummation of the Acquisition and the Merger, and any representations and warranties of the Target hereunder shall not become effective until such time. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the Target shall succeed to all the rights and obligations of Merger Sub under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and all representations and warranties of the Target shall become effective as of the date hereof, without any further action by any Person.

SECTION 9.18 [Reserved].

SECTION 9.19 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class.

To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a)(x) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of any Eurocurrency Borrowing to be made on the Effective Date, such shorter period of time as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be delivered by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent and shall be signed by the Borrower. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:

(i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Verdite Bridge Borrowing or a Borrowing of any other Class (specifying the Class thereof);

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iv) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

(v) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified as to any Borrowing, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.05 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in dollars by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the Applicable Account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the Administrative Agent. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Administrative Agent therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower agrees to pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in

 

-19-


the case of such Lender, if such Borrowing is denominated in dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.13. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(c) Obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.03(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.03(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and, other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.03(c).

SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections.

Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing (solely to the extent such Borrowing is denominated in dollars) or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Verdite Bridge Commitments shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date and (ii) 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 16, 2016.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Verdite Bridge Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the entries made pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall control.

(e) Any Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form provided by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section 2.16 hereof.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Dell, Dell International, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds.

(d) [Reserved]

(e) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section. In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Borrowings made at a time when Borrowings of more than one Class remain outstanding unless the terms of such Loans provide otherwise, such prepayment shall be applied pro rata among such Classes. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding provisions of this paragraph of the Type of Borrowing of any Class, the Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.16.

(f) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender and shall be allocated ratably among the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders.

(g) [Reserved].

SECTION 2.13 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, during the continuance of an Event of Default under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.13(c) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All computations of interest for ABR Loans (including ABR Loans determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.18, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period (in each case with respect to the Loans impacted by this clause (b) or clause (a) above, “Impacted Loans”),

(c) the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the LIBO Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended; provided, however, that, in each case, the Borrower may revoke any Borrowing Request that is pending when such notice is received.

 

-23-


Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a) of this Section 2.14 and/or is advised by the Required Lenders of their determination in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 2.14 and the Borrower shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of “LIBO Rate” and other applicable provisions to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change; provided that, until so amended, such Impacted Loans will be handled as otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject any Lender to any Taxes on its Loans, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the actual cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered, provided that to the extent any such costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules, guidelines or directives enacted or promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Basel III after the Effective Date, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to the extent such Lender is imposing such charges on similarly situated borrowers under the other syndicated credit facilities that such Lender is a lender under. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) will not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity requirements), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by any such event (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the actual loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.16, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Loan made by it at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt of such demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.16 will not apply to losses, costs or expenses resulting from Taxes, as to which Section 2.17 shall govern.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the amount payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability and delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (i) as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse or time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material

 

-25-


respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so.

Without limiting the foregoing:

(1) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(2) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1, P-2, P-3 and P-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms),

(D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or

(E) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(3) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of

 

-26-


the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA , to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (3), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Borrower; provided that (a) the Administrative Agent or such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be prejudiced by cooperating in such challenge, (b) the Borrower pays all related expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable and (c) the Borrower indemnifies the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for any liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge. The Administrative Agent or such Lender shall claim any refund that it determines is reasonably available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. If the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.17(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential to the Borrower or any other Person).

(g) The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(h) In addition, if applicable, in the case of any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Article VIII that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, such successor Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower (x) prior to the first date on or after the date on which such Administrative Agent becomes a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII on which payment by the Borrower is due hereunder, as applicable, two copies of a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that such successor Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code pursuant to Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) or Section 1.441 1T(b)(2)(iv), as applicable, of the United States Treasury Regulations and (y) on or before the date on which any such previously delivered documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time if reasonably requested by the Borrower, two further copies of such documentation.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to

 

-27-


the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension. All payments or prepayments of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, all payments of accrued interest payable on a Loan shall be made in dollars, and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all applicable amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of applicable interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the applicable amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of applicable principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of a given Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans of the same Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of such Class of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant (including a Purchasing Borrower Party) or (C) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders that have consented to any such extension. The Borrower consent to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

-28-


(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to, Section 2.06(a), Section 2.06(b), Section 2.06(c), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or any event that gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.23, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender or an Affiliated Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation), provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consents, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the then market value of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued but unpaid interest thereon, accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (C) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii) and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.23, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.20 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.21 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of any Class of the Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for the avoidance of doubt, will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Loans), in the form of Other Loans or Other Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that the Net Proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Loans; provided, further that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued,

 

-29-


incurred or obtained. The Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.21 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (in each case unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Loans or Other Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.22 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 9.19), if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.11(f), any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.23 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest

 

-30-


is determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon three Business Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, during the period of such suspension, compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 2.24 Loan Modification Offers.

(a) At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to effect one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (including mechanics to permit conversions, cashless rollovers and exchanges by Lenders and other repayments and reborrowings of Loans of Accepting Lenders or Non-Accepting Lenders replaced in accordance with this Section 2.24). Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.

(b) A Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrower, each applicable Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.24, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed Loan Modification Offer, any Lender declines to consent to such Loan Modification Offer on the terms and by the deadline set forth in such Loan Modification Offer (each such Lender, a “Non-Accepting Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Accepting Lender, replace such Non-Accepting Lender in whole or in part by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all or any part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Loans and Commitments of the Affected Class to one or more Eligible Assignees (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that (a) the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or Commitments on the terms set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment, (b) such Non-Accepting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the

 

-31-


outstanding principal of the Loans of the Affected Class assigned by it pursuant to this Section 2.24(c), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) and (c) unless waived, the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii).

(d) No rollover, conversion or exchange (or other repayment or termination) of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Loan Modification Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.24 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to serve as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Borrower to secure any of the Loan Document Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental hereto, and acknowledges that the Collateral Agent is the beneficiary of the parallel debt referred to in the Collateral Agreement and the Collateral Agent will accept the parallel debt arrangements reflected in the Collateral Agreement on its behalf and will enter into the Collateral Agreement as pledgee in its own name. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Agreement, or for exercising any rights or remedies

 

-37-


thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VIII as though the Collateral Agent (and any such sub-agents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Each Person serving as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion, may expose the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Company, the Borrower, any other Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by Holdings, the Company, the Borrower, a Lender and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, or (vi) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Agreement.

Any assignor of a Loan or seller of a participation hereunder shall be entitled to rely conclusively on a representation of the assignee Lender or Participant in the relevant Assignment and Assumption or participation agreement, as applicable, that such assignee or purchaser is an Eligible Assignee. No Agent shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information to, any Disqualified Lender.

The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to

 

-38-


have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Responsible Officer or Financial Officer of such Person). The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent also may rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Financial Officer or a Responsible Officer of such Person). The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the applicable Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, which shall be an Approved Bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such Approved Bank (the date upon which the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is replaced, the “Resignation Effective Date”).

If a Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders and the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except (i) that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any outstanding payment obligations) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to such retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth in this Article VIII. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal

 

-39-


hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Bookrunner or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption, Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Agreement pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

No Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders at such sale or other disposition. Each Lender, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither any Joint Bookrunner nor any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Lead Arranger shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder, including under Section 9.03, fully as if named as an indemnitee or indemnified person therein and irrespective of whether the indemnified losses, claims, damages, liabilities and/or related expenses arise out of, in connection with or as a result of matters arising prior to, on or after the effective date of any Loan Document.

To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative

Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (to the extent that such waiver, amendment or modification does not affect the rights, duties, privileges or obligations of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall execute such waiver, amendment or other modification to the extent approved by the Required Lenders) and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in principal) or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c), (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension of any maturity date), or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the principal amount of any Loan, as applicable, under the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Loan Modification Agreement or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby), (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided that any such change which is in favor of a Class of Lenders holding Loans maturing after the maturity of other Classes of Lenders (and only takes effect after the maturity of such other Classes of Loans or Commitments) will require the written consent of the Required Lenders with respect to each Class directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) lower the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) [Reserved], (vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) or (viii) change the currency in which any Loan is denominated, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, further, that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any amendment of this Section (B) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency and (C) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into solely by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders stating that it would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion, (b) this Agreement and other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or granting of powers by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Collateral Agent, in

 

-42-


each case required to create in favor of the Collateral Agent any security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest, where the Administrative Agent shall have been advised by its counsel that such provisions are necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with the Borrower hereby agreeing to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent promptly upon such request) and (c) upon notice thereof by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender to include such covenant on the date of the incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition or section.

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as any Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts, payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (c) unless waived, the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Loans of any Lender that is at the time a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class), all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of a Class) or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 9.02); provided that (i) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Loan Document Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Loan Document Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower shall pay, if the Effective Date occurs, (i) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their Affiliates (without duplication), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP and to

 

-43-


the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or otherwise retained with the Borrower’s consent, in each case for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and to the extent retained with the Borrower’s consent, consultants, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof and (ii) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their respective rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their respective rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans; provided that such counsel shall be limited to one lead counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel per affected party.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel) for all Indemnitees (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) to the extent in any way arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Company, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Holdings or any Subsidiary and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or a material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties or (ii) result from any dispute between and among indemnified persons that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower except that each Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners shall be indemnified in their capacities as such to the extent that none of the exceptions set forth in clause (i) applies to such Person at such time.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate outstanding Loans at the time. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(a) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph (c)).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or a breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or its Related Parties, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

 

-44-


(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after written demand therefor; provided, however, that any Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Persons who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) and (iii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (g) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of (A) the Borrower (such consent (except with respect to assignments to competitors of the Borrower) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment (1) by a Lender to any Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender, (2) by a Lender to an Approved Fund or (3) if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, by a Lender to any other assignee; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority and (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of a Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this subclause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which shall include a representation by the assignee that it meets all the requirements to be an Eligible Assignee), together (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or Section 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective; provided further that such recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments by any Affiliate of the Joint Bookrunners and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or

 

-45-


more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender, nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of the Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b).

(vi) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee; provided that for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower) (a “Participant”), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents

 

-46-


and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(b) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

 

-47-


(f) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the Affiliated Lenders, subject to the following limitations:

(1) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this clause will not apply to the Affiliated Debt Funds;

(2) for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document (including such modifications pursuant to Section 9.02), or, subject to Section 9.02(d), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter; and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided that Affiliated Debt Funds will not be subject to such voting limitations and will be entitled to vote as any other Lender;

(3) the aggregate principal amount of Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04 and held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) may not exceed 30% of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans calculated at the time such Loans are purchased (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

(4) [Reserved]; and

(5) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”); provided that each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by the Borrower therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, the aggregate amount of Loans held by any Affiliated Debt Funds shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions.

Each Affiliated Lender by its acquisition of any Loans outstanding hereunder will be deemed to have waived any right it may otherwise have had to bring any action in connection with such Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, and will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.

(g) Assignments of Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be permitted through open market purchases and/or “Dutch auctions”, so long as any offer to purchase or take by assignment (other than through open market purchases) by such Purchasing Borrower Party shall have been made to all Lenders, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Loans purchased are immediately cancelled.

 

-48-


(h) Upon any contribution of Loans to the Borrower and upon any purchase of Loans by a Purchasing Borrower Party, (A) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Loans shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of such contribution or purchase (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, with respect to a contribution of Loans, any applicable contributing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in such Loans to the Borrower for immediate cancellation) and (B) the Administrative Agent shall record such cancellation or retirement in the Register.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

(v) Board Committees.

(A) Unless otherwise approved by a majority vote of each of the Class A DTI Common Stock and the Class B DTI Common Stock with respect to which a Designation Rights Trigger Event has not previously occurred, in each case, voting separately as a class, the Board shall initially establish and maintain in effect at all times:

(1) an executive committee comprised solely of Group II Directors and Group III Directors (the “Executive Committee”). Each of the Group II Directors and the Group III Directors may designate one or more designees as members of the Executive Committee, however, (i) the Group II Directors who are members of the Executive Committee shall have in aggregate a number of votes on all committee matters that equals a proportion of the total votes of the committee equal to the proportion of the total votes that the Group II Directors then have, relative to the total votes that the Group II Directors and Group III Directors combined then have, with respect to the full Board and (ii) the Group III Directors who are members of the Executive Committee shall have in aggregate a number of votes on all committee matters that equals a proportion of the total votes of the committee equal to the proportion of the total votes that the Group III Directors then have, relative to the total votes that the Group II Directors and Group III Directors combined then have, with respect to the full Board.

(i) the review and approval of any acquisitions and dispositions by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, to the extent requiring approval of the Board and excluding dispositions of shares of Class V Stock or assets or liabilities attributed to the Class V Group (as such term is defined in the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation);

(iii) the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company and or its Subsidiaries, to the extent that such incurrence requires approval of the Board;

For the sake of clarity, the foregoing, including any further delegation of powers, responsibilities and authority to the Executive Committee, is in no way intended to limit, impact or otherwise affect the rights granted pursuant to Section 3.3(a) and Section 3.3(b) hereof.

(e) Board Representation Following an IPO.

(i) Post-IPO Director Nominees. From and after an IPO, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules of the Approved Exchange on which the Company’s equity securities are traded or listed, the Company agrees that, unless otherwise agreed to by the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders, each of (i) the MD Stockholders, on the one hand, and (ii) the SLP Stockholders, on the other hand, shall have the right to nominate at each meeting or action by written consent at which directors will be elected a number of individuals for election to the Board such that if such nominees are elected then the aggregate number of nominees of the MD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders (as applicable) serving on the Board will equal the product of the following (such individuals, the “MD Post-IPO Director Nominees” if nominated by the MD Stockholders and the “SLP Post-IPO Director Nominees” if nominated by the SLP Stockholders): (x) the percentage of the total voting power for the regular election of directors of the Company beneficially owned by the MD Stockholders or by the SLP Stockholders, as the case may be and (y) the number of directors then on the Board; provided, however, that such product shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the MD Stockholders (for so long as the MD Stockholders collectively beneficially own at least 5% of the total voting power for the regular election of directors of all outstanding voting equity securities of the Company), on the one hand, and/or the SLP Stockholders (for so long as the SLP Stockholders collectively beneficially own at least 5% of the total voting power for the regular election of directors of all outstanding voting equity securities of the Company), on the other hand, shall have the right to nominate at least one individual for election to the Board.

(ii) Post-IPO Support. For so long as the MD Stockholders have the right to nominate an MD Post-IPO Director Nominee for election pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i) or the SLP Stockholders have the right to nominate an SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee for election pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i), in connection with each election of directors, each of the Company, and each of the Stockholders party to this Agreement, shall nominate such MD Post-IPO Director Nominee and/or SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee, as the case may be, for election as a director as part of the slate of directors that is included in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) of the Company relating to the election of directors, and shall provide the highest level of

 

32


support for the election of such nominees as it provides to any other individual standing for election as a director of the Company. No Stockholder shall otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to propose to the Company or any of its stockholders to nominate or support any Person as a director who is not an MD Post-IPO Director Nominee, SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee or otherwise nominated by the then incumbent directors of the Company. Each Stockholder shall vote and provide such substantially comparable proxies as is set forth in Section 3.1(c)(iii)(C), mutatis mutandis, with respect to all of its voting securities of the Company in favor of each MD Post-IPO Director Nominee and SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee nominated in accordance herewith, unless and to the extent that the SLP Stockholders may otherwise notify the other Stockholders or the Company (which shall promptly notify the other Stockholders) that it has elected to terminate such arrangements as contemplated in this sentence.

(iii) Post-IPO Director Replacements. In the event that any MD Post-IPO Director Nominee shall cease to serve as a director for any reason (other than the reduction in the right to nominate pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i)), the MD Stockholders shall have the right to nominate another MD Post-IPO Director Nominee to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom. In the event that any SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee shall cease to serve as a director for any reason (other than the reduction in the right to nominate pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i)), the SLP Stockholders shall have the right to nominate another SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom. Additionally, (1) the MD Stockholders shall take all actions, including voting any Securities, that may be required in order to elect any such MD Post-IPO Director Nominee or SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee so long as an MD Post-IPO Director Nominee is then serving on the Board and (2) the SLP Stockholders shall take all actions, including voting any Securities, that may be required in order to elect any such MD Post-IPO Director Nominee or SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee so long as an SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee is then serving on the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the failure of the stockholders of the Company to elect any MD Post-IPO Director Nominee or SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee shall not affect the right of the MD Stockholders or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, to nominate any MD Post-IPO Director Nominee or any SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee, as the case may be, for election pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i) in connection with any future election of directors of the Company.

(iv) Post-IPO Board Committees. (A) For so long as the MD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders have the right to nominate an MD Post-IPO Director Nominee or SLP Post-IPO Director Nominee, as the case may be, for election pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i) and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules of the Approved Exchange on which the Company’s equity securities are traded or listed, the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be entitled to have at least one of their applicable MD Post-IPO Director Nominees and SLP Post-IPO Director Nominees, as the case may be, to the extent then serving on the Board, serve as a member of each committee of the Board (other than the Audit Committee and the Capital Stock Committee); provided, however, that if the Board shall establish a committee to consider a proposed transaction between any Sponsor Stockholder (or any

 

33


of its Affiliates), on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including for this purpose VMware and its subsidiaries), on the other hand, then the directors nominated by such Sponsor Stockholder whose (or whose Affiliate’s) transaction is being considered by such committee may be excluded from participation in such committee (and for purposes of this proviso, the MSD Partners Stockholders, the MSD Partners Co-Investors and their respective Permitted Transferees shall be deemed to be Affiliates of the MD Stockholders).

Section 3.2. Specified Subsidiaries.

(a) Additional Specified Subsidiaries. Each of the Company and the Specified Subsidiaries shall cause any Subsidiary that (i) is not then a party to this Agreement and (ii) becomes, or otherwise satisfies the criteria of, a Specified Subsidiary, to promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) become party to this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Company a Specified Subsidiary Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A-2, and to agree to be bound and shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a “Specified Subsidiary.” No later than one (1) Business Day following such execution, the Company shall deliver to each Sponsor Stockholder a notice thereof, together with a copy of such Specified Subsidiary Joinder Agreement.

(ii) approving the annual budget for the Company and its Subsidiaries for the ensuing fiscal year, which shall, among other things, include the line items and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) it is understood that a transfer of limited partnership interests, limited liability company interests or similar interests in any of the Sponsor Stockholders, any other private equity fund or any parent entity with respect to any such Sponsor Stockholder or private equity fund shall not constitute a transfer for purposes of this Agreement so long as there is no change of control of such entity, and such entity (other than a Sponsor Stockholder or a Co-Investor party hereto) was not formed for the purpose of acquiring a direct or indirect interest in DTI Securities of the Company, (2) the foregoing clause (1) is not intended to, and shall not permit, the transfer of any direct or indirect interest in any DTI Securities of the Company held by an MSD Partners Stockholder or its direct or indirect equityholders to the MD Stockholders or their Affiliates or Permitted Transferees other than one or more acquisitions by an MD Stockholder or one or more of its Affiliates or Permitted Transferees of direct or indirect interests in an MSD Partners Stockholder from an employee or investment professional of MSD Partners or any of its Affiliates in connection with the departure or termination of such employee or investment professional from MSD Partners or such Affiliate; provided, that subject to the immediately succeeding clause (3), any DTI Securities acquired by an MD Stockholder or one or more of its Affiliates or Permitted Transferees pursuant to this clause (2) shall be subject to the transfer restrictions in this ARTICLE IV if such DTI Securities are proposed to be subsequently transferred by such MD Stockholder, Affiliate or Permitted Transferee to any Person that is not an employee or investment professional of MSD Partners or any of its Affiliates or Permitted Transferee of the MD Stockholders, (3) nothing herein prohibits MD Stockholders from having a direct or indirect interest in the MSD Partners Stockholders on the Closing Date or from selling or transferring any interest in an MSD Partners Stockholder at any time following the Closing Date to an employee or investment professional of MSD Partners or any of its Affiliates and no such sale shall be deemed a “transfer” hereunder and (4) (A) any conversion of Class A DTI Common Stock, Class B DTI Common Stock or Class D DTI Common Stock to Class C DTI Common Stock and/or (B) any redemption or reclassification of the Series A Stock or Series B Stock as contemplated by the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall not be deemed a “transfer” hereunder; provided, that in the case of clauses (2) and (3), at no time shall the MD Stockholders, without the prior written consent of the SLP Stockholders, hold direct or indirect interests in the MSD Partners Stockholders representing more than 25% of the outstanding equity interests of the MSD Partners Stockholders in the aggregate.

 

41


(ii) Any purported transfer of DTI Securities or any interest in any DTI Securities by any Stockholder that is not in compliance with this Agreement shall be null and void, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such transfer for any purpose and shall not reflect in its register of stockholders or otherwise any change in record ownership of DTI Securities pursuant to any such transfer.

(iii) Prior to an IPO, the Company shall not issue any DTI Securities upon original issue or reissue or otherwise dispose of any DTI Securities (other than DTI Securities registered under the Securities Act) unless the recipient or transferee of such DTI Securities (if other than a Stockholder) shall agree to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VII hereof or, to the extent such DTI Securities are issued pursuant to an employee plan or agreement with a Person other than an MD Stockholder, the Management Stockholders Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof.

(c) Securities Law Acknowledgement. Each Stockholder acknowledges that the DTI Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be transferred, except as otherwise provided herein, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each Stockholder agrees that it will not transfer any DTI Common Stock at any time if such action would (i) constitute a violation of any securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction or a breach of the conditions to any exemption from registration of DTI Common Stock under any such laws or a breach of any undertaking or agreement of such Stockholder entered into pursuant to such laws or in connection with obtaining an exemption thereunder, (ii) cause the Company to become subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time or (iii) be a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute “plan assets” for purposes of fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Each Stockholder agrees it shall not be entitled to any certificate for any or all of the DTI Common Stock, unless the Board shall otherwise determine.

(d) Legend.

(i) Each certificate (or book-entry share) evidencing DTI Common Stock shall bear the following restrictive legend, either as an endorsement or on the face thereof:

Section 4.4. Tag-Along Rights.

(a) Subject to Section 4.4(h) and receipt of prior written approval of any applicable Stockholder as may be required pursuant to Section 4.1 and/or Section 4.2, (x) if any Initiating Tag-Along Seller proposes to transfer all or a portion of their DTI Securities to any Person (other than to a Permitted Transferee of such Initiating Tag-Along Seller) or (y) a Sale Transaction is entered into by the MD Stockholders that either is a Qualified Sale Transaction or has been approved by the SLP Stockholders (each of the transfers in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), a “Tag-Along Sale”), then the Initiating Tag-Along Seller shall give, or direct the Company to give and the Company shall so promptly give, written notice (a “Tag-Along Sale Notice”) of such proposed transfer to all Eligible Tag-Along Sellers with respect to such Tag-Along Sale at least fifteen (15) days prior to each of the consummation of such proposed transfer and the delivery of a Tag-Along Sale Notice setting forth (i) the number and type of each class of DTI Securities proposed to be transferred, (ii) the consideration to be received for such DTI

 

47


Securities by such Initiating Tag-Along Seller, including any Additional Consideration received, (iii) the identity of the purchaser (the “Tag-Along Buyer”), (iv) a copy of all definitive documents relating to such Tag-Along Sale, including all documents that the Eligible Tag-Along Seller would be required to execute in order to participate in such Tag-Along Sale and all other agreements or documents referred to, or referenced, therein, (v) a detailed summary of all material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, (vi) the fraction, expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of DTI Securities to be purchased from the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees by the total number of DTI Securities held by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees (the “Tag-Along Sale Percentage”) and (vii) an invitation to each Eligible Tag-Along Seller to irrevocably agree to include in the Tag-Along Sale up to a number of DTI Securities held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller equal to the product of the total number of DTI Securities held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller multiplied by the Tag-Along Sale Percentage, subject to adjustment pursuant to the Tag-Along Sale Priority and the Tag-Along Sale Proration as contemplated in Section 4.4(c) (such amount of DTI Securities with respect to each Eligible Tag-Along Seller, such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s “Tag-Along Shares”). In the event that any MD Related Party directly or indirectly receives any compensation or other consideration or benefit arising out of or in connection with the applicable Tag-Along Sale (other than any bona fide cash and/or equity compensation (whether in the form of an initial equity grant or otherwise) for service as an executive officer of the acquiring or surviving company or any of their Subsidiaries or, with respect to MD Related Parties, any bona fide commercial arrangement that is not a “Related Party Transaction” because of the proviso of the definition thereof between an MD Related Party and the proposed Tag-Along Buyer or any of its Affiliates which commercial arrangement has been binding and in full force and effect (or, in the absence of a binding legal arrangement, to the extent a course of dealing has been in place) for at least twelve (12) months prior to the date that the Tag-Along Sale Notice is provided to the Eligible Tag-Along Seller) pursuant to any non-competition, non-solicitation, no-hire, or other arrangement separate from the transfer of the DTI Securities of the Company (“Additional Consideration”), the value of such Additional Consideration (as reasonably determined by the Board, subject to the consent of the SLP Stockholders not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be deemed to have been part of the consideration paid or payable to the MD Stockholders in respect of their DTI Securities in such Tag-Along Sale and shall be reflected in the amount offered by the Tag-Along Buyer set forth in the applicable Tag-Along Sale Notice. In the event that more than one MD Stockholder, more than one MSD Partners Stockholder or more than one SLP Stockholder, as the case may be, proposes to execute a Tag-Along Sale as an Initiating Tag-Along Seller, then all such transferring MD Stockholders, MSD Partners Stockholders and/or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be treated as the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, and the DTI Securities held and to be transferred by such MD Stockholders, MSD Partners Stockholders or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be aggregated as set forth in Section 9.16, including for purposes of calculating the applicable Tag-Along Sale Percentage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.4 to the contrary, but subject to Section 4.4(c), if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller is transferring DTI Common Stock or vested in-the-money Company Stock Options in such Tag-Along Sale, each of the Eligible Tag-Along Sellers shall be entitled to transfer the same proportion of DTI Securities held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller as the proportion of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller’s DTI Common Stock and vested in-the-money Company Stock Options relative to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller’s total number of such DTI Securities that are being sold by the

 

48


Initiating Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, no DTI Securities that are subject to any vesting or similar condition may be transferred prior to such time as such DTI Securities have fully vested; provided, that it is understood that if such DTI Securities vest in connection with such Tag-Along Sale, such DTI Securities may be transferred in connection therewith in accordance with this Section 4.4.

(b) Upon delivery of a Tag-Along Sale Notice, each Eligible Tag-Along Seller may elect to include all or a portion of such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares in such Tag-Along Sale (Eligible Tag-Along Sellers who make such an election being an “Electing Tag-Along Seller” and, together with the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and all other Persons (other than any Affiliates of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller) who otherwise are transferring, or have exercised a contractual or other right to transfer, DTI Securities in connection with such Tag-Along Sale, the “Tag-Along Sellers”), at the same price per share equivalent of DTI Common Stock and pursuant to the same terms and conditions as agreed to by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and otherwise in accordance with this Section 4.4, by sending an irrevocable written notice (a “Tag-Along Participation Notice”) to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller within fifteen (15) days of the date the Tag-Along Sale Notice is received by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller, indicating such Electing Tag-Along Seller’s irrevocable election, subject to Section 4.4(d), to include its Tag-Along Shares in the Tag-Along Sale and setting forth the number of Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares it elects to include. Following such fifteen (15) day period, each Electing Tag-Along Seller that has delivered a Tag-Along Participation Notice shall be entitled to sell to such proposed transferee, on the same terms and conditions as, and concurrently with, the other Electing Tag-Along Sellers and the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, such Electing Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares it elects to include, which terms and conditions have been set forth in the Tag-Along Sale Notice, subject to the Tag-Along Sale Priority and the Tag-Along Sale Proration as contemplated in Section 4.4(c). Each Eligible Tag-Along Seller who does not deliver a Tag-Along Participation Notice within such fifteen (15) day period shall have waived and be deemed to have waived all of such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s rights with respect to such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that in order to be entitled to exercise its right to include Tag-Along Shares in a Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 4.4, each Electing Tag-Along Seller must agree to make the same representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements to the Tag-Along Buyer as made by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and any Electing Tag-Along Seller in connection with the Tag-Along Sale (and shall be subject to the same escrow or other holdback arrangements as such Persons so long as such escrows or other holdbacks are proportionately based on the amount of consideration received for the sale of DTI Securities in such Tag-Along Sale transaction); provided, that:

(i) each Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion (based on the relative amount (and taking into account the per share equivalent of DTI Common Stock) of DTI Securities sold in such Tag-Along Sale transaction) of any deferred consideration or indemnification payments relating to such Tag-Along Sale (provided, however, that, with respect to any unexercised Company Stock Options proposed to be transferred in such Tag-Along Sale by any Tag-Along Seller, the per share consideration in respect thereof shall be reduced by the exercise price of such options or, if required pursuant to the terms of such options or such Tag-Along Sale, such Tag-Along Seller must exercise the relevant option and transfer the relevant shares of DTI Common Stock (rather than the option) (in each case, net of any amounts required to be withheld by the Company in connection with such exercise));

 

49


(ii) the aggregate amount of liability of each Electing Tag-Along Seller shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Electing Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale;

(iii) all indemnification obligations (other than with respect to the matters referenced in Section 4.4(b)(iv)) shall be on a several and not joint basis to the Tag-Along Sellers pro rata (based on the amount of consideration received by each Tag-Along Seller in the Tag-Along Sale transaction);

(iv) no Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be responsible for any indemnification obligations and/or liabilities (including through escrow or hold back arrangements) for (A) breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties made with respect to any other Tag-Along Seller’s (1) ownership of and title to DTI Securities, (2) organization and authority or (3) conflicts and consents and any other matter concerning such other Person and/or (B) breaches of any covenant specifically relating to any other Tag-Along Seller; and

(v) no Stockholders that have elected to be an Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be required in connection with such Tag-Along Sale transaction to agree to (A) any employee, customer or other non-solicitation, no-hire or other similar provision, (B) any non-competition or similar restrictive covenant and/or (C) any term that purports to bind any portfolio company or investment of any Electing Tag-Along Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.4 to the contrary, if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller is any of the MD Stockholders (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any of their Permitted Transferees) and such Initiating Tag-Along Seller seeks to transfer DTI Common Stock representing a majority of the DTI Common Stock beneficially owned by the MD Stockholders immediately following the Original Closing, then the number of Tag-Along Shares that an Eligible Tag-Along Seller may include in any Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be an amount equal to 100% of the equity securities in the Company, Dell and their respective Subsidiaries (excluding any shares of Class V Stock) held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller (such right, the “Tag-Along Sale Priority”). Further, in the event that Stockholders having the right to participate in a Tag-Along Sale (including the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, the “Participating Sellers”) have elected to include more DTI Securities in the aggregate than the Tag-Along Buyer is willing to purchase (the “Tag-Along Demand”), the number of DTI Securities permitted to be sold by the Participating Sellers shall be reduced such that each Tag-Along Seller is permitted to sell only its pro rata share of the Tag-Along Demand (in proportion to the number of DTI Securities held by each Participating Seller) (the “Tag-Along Sale Proration”); provided that, in a Tag-Along Sale subject to Tag-Along Sale Priority rights, the number of DTI Securities to be sold by Participating Sellers with Tag-Along Sale Priority shall not be reduced.

(d) Notwithstanding the delivery of any Tag-Along Sale Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Tag-Along Sale and as to the timing, manner, price and, subject to Section 4.4(b)(i) through (v), other terms and conditions of any such Tag-Along Sale shall be at the sole discretion of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, and none of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any liability to any Electing Tag-Along Seller arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Tag-Along Sale except to the extent such Initiating Tag-Along Seller failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4; provided, that (i) if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller agrees to amend, restate, modify or supplement the terms and/or conditions of the Tag-Along Sale after such time that any Stockholder has elected to be an Electing Tag-Along Seller in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.4, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller shall promptly notify the Company and each Electing Tag-Along Seller of such amendment, restatement, modification and/or supplement and (ii) each such Electing Tag-Along Seller shall have the right to withdraw its Tag-Along Participation Notice by delivering written notice of such withdrawal to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt of such notice from the Initiating Tag-Along Seller.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.4 to the contrary, this Section 4.4 shall not apply to (i) any transfers of DTI Securities to a Permitted Transferee of the transferring Stockholder, (ii) any transfers of DTI Securities pursuant to Section 4.5 and/or (iii) any transfer of DTI Common Stock in a registered public offering (whether in a Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration, Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or otherwise), it being understood that participation rights in connection with transfers of DTI Common Stock in a registered public offering (whether in a Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration, Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or otherwise) shall be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(f) All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or the Tag-Along Sellers in connection with such Tag-Along Sale shall be allocated and borne on a pro rata basis by each Tag-Along Seller in accordance with the amount of consideration otherwise received by each Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that this Section 4.4(f) shall not prevent any Tag-Along Sale to be structured in a manner such that some or all of the such costs and expenses result in a pro rata reduction in the consideration received by the Tag-Along Sellers in such Tag-Along Sale.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller has not completed the proposed Tag-Along Sale within one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery of the Tag-Along Sale Notice in accordance with this Section 4.4, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller may not then effect such proposed Tag-Along Sale without again complying with the provisions of this Section 4.4; provided, that if such proposed Tag-Along Sale is subject to, and conditioned on, one or more prior regulatory approvals, then such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended solely to the extent necessary until no later than the expiration of ten (10) days after all such approvals shall have been received.

 

51


(h) The “tag-along” rights described in this Section 4.4 shall survive an IPO (and shall be exercisable by any Stockholder) in respect of a single or series of related transfers of DTI Securities by the MD Stockholders equal to 10% or more of the then outstanding DTI Common Stock to the same Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) (other than a Permitted Transferee of the MD Stockholders) and shall automatically terminate upon, the earlier of (i) the 18-month anniversary of an IPO and (ii) such time following an IPO that the MD Stockholders no longer beneficially own DTI Common Stock representing a majority of the DTI Common Stock beneficially owned by the MD Stockholders immediately following the Original Closing Date, provided, that in addition to any other applicable provisions in this Section 4.4 (including the Tag-Along Sale Priority and the Tag-Along Sale Proration), such transfer of DTI Securities shall also be subject to the Priority Sell-Down pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, further, that any registered offering of DTI Securities shall be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 4.5. Drag-Along Rights.

(a) Subject to Section 4.5(h), an Initiating Drag-Along Seller shall be entitled to give, or direct the Company to give and the Company shall so promptly give, written notice (a “Drag-Along Sale Notice”) to the other Stockholders that such Initiating Drag-Along Seller or the Company has entered into a Qualified Sale Transaction (a “Drag-Along Sale”), and that such Initiating Drag-Along Seller is requiring the other Stockholders (all Stockholders participating in a Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 4.5, the “Dragged-Along Sellers,” and together with the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and all other Persons (other than any Affiliates of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller) who otherwise are transferring, have a contractual obligation to transfer, or have exercised a contractual or other right to transfer, DTI Securities in connection with such Drag-Along Sale, the “Drag-Along Sellers”) to participate, agree and take such actions reasonably necessary to sell in such Drag-Along Sale, on the same price per share equivalent of DTI Common Stock, consideration, terms and conditions as the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and in the manner set forth in this Section 4.5, a number of DTI Securities held by such Dragged-Along Seller determined by multiplying (A) the number of DTI Securities held by such Dragged-Along Seller at the time the Drag-Along Sale Notice for such Drag-Along Sale is given by (B) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of DTI Securities to be transferred by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees in such Drag-Along Sale and the denominator of which is the total number of DTI Securities held at such time by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees (such fraction, the “Drag-Along Sale Percentage”), subject to adjustment pursuant to the Drag-Along Sale Priority as contemplated in Section 4.5(c). The Drag-Along Sale Notice shall be delivered to all Dragged-Along Sellers at least fifteen (15) days prior to each of the consummation of such Drag-Along Sale and the delivery of a Drag-Along Sale Notice setting forth (i) the number and type of each class of DTI Securities proposed to be transferred, (ii) the consideration to be received for such DTI Securities, including any Additional Consideration received, (iii) the identity of the other Person(s) party to the Drag-Along Sale, (iv) a detailed summary of all material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, (v) the Drag-Along Sale Percentage, (vi) the date of the anticipated completion of the proposed Drag-Along Sale (which date shall not be less than fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such notice) and (vii) any action or actions required of the Dragged-Along Sellers in connection with the Drag-Along Sale. In the event that any MD Related Party directly or indirectly receives any Additional Consideration in connection with any

 

52


Drag-Along Sale, the value of such Additional Consideration (as reasonably determined by the Board, subject to the consent of the SLP Stockholders, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be deemed to have been part of the consideration paid or payable to the MD Stockholders in respect of their DTI Securities in such Drag-Along Sale transaction and shall be reflected in the amount offered by the proposed transferee set forth in the applicable Drag-Along Sale Notice. In the event that more than one MD Stockholder and/or more than one SLP Stockholder is the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, then all such transferring MD Stockholders and/or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be treated as the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, and the DTI Securities held and to be transferred by such MD Stockholders and/or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be aggregated as set forth in Section 9.16, including for purposes of calculating the applicable Drag-Along Sale Percentage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.5 to the contrary, but subject to Section 4.5(c), if the MD Stockholders and the MSD Partners Stockholders are transferring some, but not all of their DTI Common Stock or vested in-the-money Company Stock Options in any Drag-Along Sale, each of the other Stockholders shall be entitled to transfer the same proportion of DTI Common Stock held by it as the proportion, in the aggregate, of the MD Stockholders’ and the MSD Partners Stockholders’ DTI Common Stock and vested in-the-money Company Stock Options (relative to the MD Stockholders’ and the MSD Partners Stockholders’ total number of such DTI Securities) that are being sold by the MD Stockholders and the MSD Partners Stockholders in such Drag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, no DTI Securities that are subject to any vesting or similar condition may be transferred prior to such time as such DTI Securities have fully vested; provided, that it is understood that if such DTI Securities vest in connection with such Drag-Along Sale, such DTI Securities shall be required to be transferred in connection therewith in accordance with this Section 4.5.

(b) Upon delivery of a Drag-Along Sale Notice, all Dragged-Along Sellers participating in a Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be required to agree to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the applicable Initiating Drag-Along Seller and all other Drag-Along Sellers in such Drag-Along Sale (and shall be subject to the same escrow or other holdback arrangements as such Persons so long as such escrows or other holdbacks are proportionately based on the amount of consideration received for the sale of DTI Securities in such Drag-Along Sale transaction); provided, that:

(i) each Dragged-Along Seller shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion (based on the relative amount (and taking into account the per share equivalent of DTI Common Stock) of DTI Securities sold in such Drag-Along Sale transaction) of any deferred consideration or indemnification payments relating to such Drag-Along Sale transaction (provided, however, that, with respect to any unexercised Company Stock Options proposed to be transferred in such Drag-Along Sale by any Drag-Along Seller, the per share consideration in respect thereof shall be reduced by the exercise price of such options or, if required pursuant to the terms of such options or such Drag-Along Sale, such Drag-Along Seller must exercise the relevant option and transfer the relevant shares of DTI Common Stock (rather than the option) (in each case, net of any amounts required to be withheld by the Company in connection with such exercise));

 

53


(ii) the aggregate amount of liability of each Dragged-Along Seller shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Dragged-Along Seller in such Drag-Along Sale;

(iii) all indemnification obligations (other than with respect to the matters referenced in Section 4.5(b)(iv)) shall be on a several and not joint basis to the Drag-Along Sellers pro rata (based on the amount of consideration received by each Drag-Along Seller in the Drag-Along Sale transaction);

(iv) no Dragged-Along Seller shall be responsible for any indemnification obligations and/or liabilities (including through escrow or hold back arrangements) for (A) breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties made with respect to any other Drag-Along Seller’s (1) ownership of and title to equity securities, (2) organization and authority or (3) conflicts and consents and any other matter concerning such other Person and/or (B) breaches of any covenant specifically relating to any other Drag-Along Sellers; and

(v) no Dragged-Along Seller shall be required in connection with such Drag-Along Sale transaction to agree to (A) any employee, customer or other non-solicitation, no-hire or other similar provision, (B) any non-competition or similar restrictive covenant and/or (C) any term that purports to bind any portfolio company or investment of any a Dragged-Along Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.5 to the contrary, (i) if a Drag-Along Sale is structured or otherwise effected (A) such that less than 100% of the DTI Securities are being transferred or (B) as a sale of less than all of the assets of the DTI Group (as defined in the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation), each Stockholder (other than any MD Stockholder) shall have the option of selling in such Drag-Along Sale 100% of the equity securities of the Company, Dell and their respective Subsidiaries held by such Stockholder (excluding any shares of Class V Stock) on the same terms and conditions as applicable to other DTI Securities being sold in such Drag-Along Sale (such right, the “Drag-Along Sale Priority”) and (ii) in the event that in connection with a Drag-Along Sale, MD, the MD Stockholders, the MSD Partners Stockholders or their Permitted Transferees, Affiliates or family members that beneficially own DTI Securities, roll over or exchange (or are entitled to roll over or exchange) all or a portion of such DTI Securities in such Drag-Along Sale, they shall only be permitted to do so if the other Stockholders are permitted, but not required, to roll over a pro rata portion of their DTI Securities at the same price per DTI Security and with the same rights and preferences related thereto (other than differences in governance rights attributable to the size of such Person’s post-Drag-Along Sale ownership).

(d) In connection with a Drag-Along Sale, at the request of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller or the Company (at the direction of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller), each Drag-Along Seller shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.5(b):

(i) (A) sign a written resolution voting all of such Dragged-Along Seller’s voting DTI Securities in favor of such Drag-Along Sale (if such a vote is required) or (B) at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders or at any other meeting

 

54


of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, in each case to the extent that such Dragged-Along Seller’s DTI Securities are entitled to vote thereon, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the stockholders of the Company is sought, (x) appear at each meeting of stockholders or otherwise cause all of the voting DTI Securities beneficially owned by such Dragged-Along Seller as of the applicable record date to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (y) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of such Dragged-Along Seller’s voting DTI Securities as of the applicable record date in favor of such Drag-Along Sale (if such a vote is required); and

(ii) take or cause to be taken all such actions as are reasonably required or necessary in order to facilitate and consummate expeditiously such Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 4.5, including (A) executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments and (B) filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities.

(e) Notwithstanding the delivery of any Drag-Along Sale Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Drag-Along Sale and as to the timing, manner, price and, subject to Section 4.5(b)(i) through (v), other terms and conditions of any such Drag-Along Sale shall be at the sole discretion of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, and none of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any liability to any Dragged-Along Seller arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Drag-Along Sale except to the extent such Initiating Drag-Along Seller failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.5; provided, that (i) if the Initiating Drag-Along Seller agrees to amend, restate, modify or supplement the terms and/or conditions of the Drag-Along Sale after such time that the Drag-Along Sale Notice has been delivered to the Dragged-Along Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.5, the Initiating Drag-Along Seller shall promptly notify the Company and cause to be delivered to each Dragged-Along Seller a revised Drag-Along Sale Notice containing all of the items required of a Drag-Along Sale Notice as set forth in Section 4.5(a) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such Drag-Along Sale.

(f) All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or any of the Sponsor Stockholders and their Permitted Transferees in connection with a Drag-Along Sale shall either be (i) borne in full by the Company or (ii) allocated and borne on a pro rata basis by each Drag-Along Seller in accordance with the amount of consideration otherwise received by each Drag-Along Seller in such Drag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that this Section 4.5(f) shall not prevent any Drag-Along Sale to be structured in a manner such that some or all of the such costs and expenses result in a pro rata reduction in the consideration received by the Drag-Along Sellers in such Drag-Along Sale.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Initiating Drag-Along Seller has not completed the proposed Drag-Along Sale within one hundred eighty (180) days following delivery of the Drag-Along Sale Notice in accordance with this Section 4.5, then

 

55


such Drag-Along Sale Notice shall be null and void, each Dragged-Along Seller shall be released from its obligations under such Drag-Along Sale Notice and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag-Along Sale Notice to be furnished by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, and the other terms and provisions of this Section 4.5 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 4.5; provided, that if such proposed Drag-Along Sale is subject to, and conditioned on, one or more prior regulatory approvals, then such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended solely to the extent necessary until no later than the expiration of ten (10) days after all such approvals shall have been received.

(h) This Section 4.5 automatically terminates without any further action upon an IPO.

Section 4.6. Diligence Access and Cooperation. The Company agrees to provide, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates and its and their respective officers, employees, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, agents and other representatives to provide, such cooperation as may reasonably be requested (including with respect to timeliness) in connection with and to assist in the structuring and/or facilitation of any sale or transfer of DTI Securities by any Sponsor Stockholder, Co-Investor and/or their respective Permitted Transferees permitted by this ARTICLE IV, including Section 4.5. Such reasonable cooperation will include (a) participation in meetings, drafting sessions and due diligence sessions, (b) access to the properties, facilities, material contracts and books and records, including financial statements, projections and accountants’ work papers, (c) access to the officers, management, employees, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, agents and other representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be required or requested in connection with such transaction, (d) promptly furnishing to the transferor, any Initiating Drag-Along Seller (if applicable), transferee or acquiror and its or their advisors and representatives financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by the transferor or Initiating Drag-Along Seller (if applicable) and (e) assisting the transferor or Initiating Drag-Along Seller (if applicable) and their advisors and/or representatives in the preparation and execution of any documents in connection with such transfer or sale, each of subclauses (a) through (e) to the extent reasonably requested and required for such sale or transfer or Drag-Along Sale (if applicable) to be effectuated. Prior to the Company, its Subsidiaries or its or their respective officers, employees, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, agents and other representatives providing any confidential information to a third party as contemplated in this Section 4.6, such third party shall be required to execute a confidentiality agreement as provided for in Section 6.3(c)(ii).

(D) (x) on or after October 29, 2018 or (y) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Disabling Event, no minimum implied return or amount shall be applicable (provided, that if the Disabling Event is a Disability of MD, then this subclause (y) shall cease to apply upon the cessation of such Disabling Event; provided, further, that so long as the SLP Stockholders have delivered an SLP IPO Notice during the continuation of a Disabling Event, then the Company shall proceed with a Minimum Float IPO),

then the SLP Stockholders may provide written notice to the Company requesting that the Company commence a Minimum Float IPO (such notice, an “SLP IPO Notice”).

(ii) Reasonable Best Efforts. Upon receipt of an SLP IPO Notice, the Company and the Stockholders shall each use their respective reasonable best efforts to effect a Minimum Float IPO as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event, within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Company’s receipt of an SLP IPO Notice, provided, that reasonable best efforts shall not be deemed to require that any Stockholder sell shares in the IPO. Without limiting the foregoing, following receipt of an SLP IPO Notice, the Stockholders and the Company agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly take, and cause each of their Subsidiaries, officers, employees, agents and representatives to promptly take, all such actions, and cause to be done all such things, as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate a Minimum Float IPO, including pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Registration Rights Agreement and causing the Company to (A) promptly engage such financial advisors, accountants, attorneys and other advisors as may be appropriate (and the Stockholders shall waive, and cause their Affiliates to waive, any conflicts of interest resulting from the engagement of such Persons by the Company), (B) reorganize, consolidate, exchange, combine or otherwise restructure the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be appropriate (and in accordance with Section 6.9), (C) amend, modify, repeal or restate the governing, constituent or Organizational Documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (D) participate in and

58


effect a Minimum Float IPO as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event, within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Company’s receipt of an MD IPO Notice, provided, that reasonable best efforts shall not be deemed to require that any Stockholder sell shares in the IPO. Without limiting the foregoing, following receipt of an MD IPO Notice, the Stockholders and the Company agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly take, and cause each of their Subsidiaries, officers, employees, agents and representatives to promptly take, all such actions, and cause to be done all such things, as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate a Minimum Float IPO, including pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Registration Rights Agreement and causing the Company to take the IPO Efforts. In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall keep the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders reasonably apprised of the status of effecting such Minimum Float IPO.

(i) General. Subject to Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, each Participation Eligible Stockholder shall have the right to purchase such portion of the Participation Securities to be included in the Post-Closing Issuance as may be requested by such Stockholder (subject to Section 5.1(c), not to exceed such Stockholder’s Participation Portion of the total amount of Participation Securities to be included in the Post-Closing Issuance), on the same terms and conditions and at the same price per unit, with respect to each Participation Security issued, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders. In order to exercise such right, each Participation Eligible Stockholder shall provide written notice of such exercise to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt of the Participation Notice specifying the number or aggregate principal amount of Participation Securities (subject to Section 5.1(c), not to exceed such Stockholder’s Participation Portion of the total number of Participation Securities to be included in the Post-Closing Issuance) that such Participation Eligible Stockholder desires to purchase (each an “Exercising Stockholder”). Each Participation Eligible Stockholder who does not exercise such right in compliance with the above requirements, including the applicable time periods, shall be deemed to have waived all of such Participation Eligible Stockholder’s rights to participate in such Post-Closing Issuance, and the Company shall thereafter be free to issue Participation Securities in such Post-Closing Issuance to the Prospective Purchaser, any Exercising Stockholders and any other stockholders of the Company, at a price no less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice and on other principal terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the Prospective Purchaser than those set forth in the Participation Notice (“Compliant Terms”), without any further obligation to such non-exercising Participation Eligible Stockholder pursuant to this ARTICLE V. If, prior to consummation of the proposed Post-Closing Issuance, the terms of such proposed Post-Closing Issuance shall change with the result that the price shall be less than the minimum price set forth in the Participation Notice or the other principal terms shall be materially more favorable to the Prospective Purchaser than those set forth

in the Participation Notice, it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 5.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Post-Closing Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.1.

(ii) Irrevocable Exercise. The exercise by each Exercising Stockholder of its rights under this ARTICLE V shall be irrevocable except as hereinafter provided, and each such Exercising Stockholder shall be bound and obligated to acquire the Participation Securities in the Post-Closing Issuance as such Exercising Stockholder shall have specified in such Exercising Stockholder’s written commitment on the price, terms and conditions of such Post-Closing Issuance so long as they are Compliant Terms.

(iii) Time Limitation. If at the end of the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after the date of the delivery of the Participation Notice the Company has not completed the Post-Closing Issuance, each Exercising Stockholder shall be released from such holder’s obligations under this ARTICLE V with respect to the offer subject to such Participation Notice, the Participation Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate Participation Notice to be furnished to all Stockholders, and the terms and provisions of this Section 5.1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Post-Closing Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.1; provided, that such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for up to one-hundred and eighty (180) days to the extent necessary to comply with any regulatory requirements applicable to such proposed Post-Closing Issuance.

(c) Calculation of Participation Securities. The Exercising Stockholders shall be entitled to purchase in the Post-Closing Issuance a number of Participation Securities equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum number of Participation Securities such Exercising Stockholder has elected to purchase in the Post-Closing Issuance in its, his or her irrevocable written notice of acceptance and (B) such Exercising Stockholder’s Participation Portion.

(d) Post-Issuance Participation Notice. Notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 5.1(a), the Company may elect to deliver a Participation Notice with respect to any Post-Closing Issuance after completion of such Post-Closing Issuance. If the Company shall so elect to deliver any Participation Notice after completion of the applicable Post-Closing Issuance, then the terms of such Post-Closing Issuance shall be required to permit each of the Participation Eligible Stockholders receiving such Participation Notice a period of not less than ten (10) Business Days after delivery thereof to deliver to the Company with a written commitment to purchase such Participation Eligible Stockholder’s Participation Portion of the total amount of Participation Securities included in such Post-Closing Issuance (whether pursuant to the resale of Participation Securities by the initial purchaser(s) of such Participation Securities or the issuance by the Company of additional Participation Securities) upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Section 5.1.

(e) Further Assurances. Each Exercising Stockholder shall take or cause to be taken all such reasonable actions as are reasonably necessary in order to consummate expeditiously each Post-Closing Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.1, including (i) executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments, (ii) filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments

 

61


with governmental authorities and (iii) otherwise cooperating with the Company and the Prospective Purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Exercising Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such subscription and other agreements as shall be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such Post-Closing Issuance.

(f) Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred by the Company and the Sponsor Stockholders in connection with any proposed Post-Closing Issuance of Participation Securities (whether or not consummated), including all attorney’s fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and, only with respect to the Company, all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, shall be paid by the Company. The Sponsor Stockholders shall be required to pay their own finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions, if any, in connection with any proposed Post-Closing Issuance of Participation Securities, unless otherwise agreed with the Company.

(g) Closing. The consummation of a Post-Closing Issuance pursuant to this Section 5.1 (the “Participation Closing”) shall take place on such date, at such time and at such place as the Company shall specify by notice to each Exercising Stockholder, but in any event, not earlier than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date such notice is provided to each Exercising Stockholder (unless otherwise agreed to by each such Exercising Stockholder). At any Participation Closing, each Exercising Stockholder shall be delivered the certificates or other instruments evidencing the Participation Securities to be issued to such Exercising Stockholder, registered in the name of such Exercising Stockholder or such holder’s designated nominee, with any transfer tax stamps affixed, if applicable (other than any transfer tax stamps required by reason of the Participation Securities being registered in a name other than that of the Exercising Stockholder), against delivery by such Exercising Stockholder of the applicable consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Company.

Section 5.2. Excluded Transactions. The provisions of this ARTICLE V shall not apply to Post-Closing Issuances by the Company of any Excluded Securities.

In addition to any other indemnification rights that the directors have pursuant to the Organizational Documents of the Company, each of the directors of the Company shall have the right to enter into, and the Company agrees to enter into, an indemnification agreement substantially in the form of Annex C attached hereto (the “Director Indemnification Agreements”).

Section 8.2. Indemnification of Stockholders.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will, and will cause each of the Specified Subsidiaries to, indemnify, exonerate and hold the Stockholders and each of their respective partners, stockholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents and each of the partners, stockholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, proceedings, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of any action, cause of action, suit, arbitration or claim arising directly or indirectly out of, or in any way relating to, (i) such Stockholder’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of Securities or such Stockholder’s or its Affiliates’ control or ability to influence the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (which for purposes of this ARTICLE VIII shall include VMware and its subsidiaries) or their respective predecessors or successors (other than any such Indemnified Liabilities (x) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise out of any willful breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or other related Persons or (y) without limiting any other rights to indemnification, to the extent such control or the ability to control the Company or any of its Subsidiaries derives from such Stockholder’s or its Affiliates’ capacity as an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or (ii) the business, operations, properties, assets or other rights or liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company will, and will cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. For the purposes of this Section 8.2, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by the Company or any of the Specified Subsidiaries, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Indemnitee to the Company and the Specified Subsidiaries, as applicable. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any

 

72


such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation or under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the Indemnitee in respect of Indemnified Liabilities in connection with any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, pursuant to and in accordance with (as applicable) the terms of (i) applicable law, (ii) the Organizational Documents of the Company, (iii) the Director Indemnification Agreements, (iv) this Agreement, (v) any other agreement between the Company or any Specified Subsidiary and the Indemnitee pursuant to which the Indemnitee is indemnified, (vi) the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Specified Subsidiary and/or (vii) the Organizational Documents of any Specified Subsidiary (clauses (i) through (vii) collectively, the “Indemnification Sources”), irrespective of any right of recovery the Indemnitee may have from any Indemnitee Related Entities. Under no circumstance shall the Company or any Specified Subsidiary be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of advancement or recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the Indemnitee or the obligations of the Company or any Specified Subsidiary under the Indemnification Sources. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification with respect to any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, (x) the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, reimburse the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment to the extent of such payment promptly upon written demand from such Indemnitee-Related Entity, (y) to the extent not previously and fully reimbursed by the Company and/or any Specified Subsidiary pursuant to clause (x), the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of the outstanding balance of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Company and/or any Specified Subsidiary, as applicable, and (z) Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related Entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(c) The Company and Stockholders agree that each of the Indemnitees and Indemnitee-Related Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 8.2, entitled to enforce this Section 8.2 as though each such Indemnitee and Indemnitee-Related Entity were a party to this Agreement. The Company shall cause each of the Specified Subsidiaries to perform the terms and obligations of this Section 8.2 as though each such Specified Subsidiary was a party to this Agreement.

Section 8.3. Insurance. The Company shall, and shall cause the Specified Subsidiaries to, at all times maintain a policy or policies of insurance providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders, and Indemnitees shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage provided to any other director or officer of the Company or any Specified Subsidiary. If, at the time the Company or any of the Specified Subsidiaries receives from an Indemnitee any notice of the commencement of any action, cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding, and the Company or a Specified Subsidiary has such insurance in effect which would reasonably be expected to cover such Action or Proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such action, cause

 

73


of action, suit, claim or proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in such policy or policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or reasonably desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitees, all amounts payable as a result of such action, cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy or policies.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Management Stockholders Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Class A Stockholders Agreement, the Class C Stockholders Agreement and the Subscription Agreements) constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case, written or oral, of any and every nature with respect thereto. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any document executed or delivered to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including the Organizational Documents of any Person, this Agreement shall govern as among the parties hereto. Each of the parties hereto shall exercise all voting and other rights and powers available to it so as to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and, if necessary, to procure (so far as it is able to do so) any required amendment to the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents, in order to cure any such inconsistency.

Section 9.2. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective solely upon (i) execution of this Agreement by each of the Company and the Sponsor Stockholders and (ii) the consummation of the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement). In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason without the Closing having occurred, this Agreement shall not become effective, shall be void ab initio and the Original Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without amendment or restatement.

Section 9.3. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that, in the event of breach by any party, damages would not be an adequate remedy and each of the other parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. The parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief.

Section 9.4. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

 

74


Section 9.5. Submissions to Jurisdictions; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably acknowledges and consents that any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to and accepts with regard to any such action or proceeding, for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware). Each party hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) lacks jurisdiction over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party.

(b) Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party, at its address for notices as provided in Section 9.13 of this Agreement, such service to become effective ten (10) days after such mailing. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other documents contemplated hereby, that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Subject to Section 9.5(c), the foregoing shall not limit the rights of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except as provided above and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the respective parties to this Agreement.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to commence by publication any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations under or relating to this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives the objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) is not a convenient forum for any such suit, action or proceeding.

 

75


(d) The parties hereto agree that any judgment obtained by any party hereto or its successors or assigns in any action, suit or proceeding referred to above may, in the discretion of such party (or its successors or assigns), be enforced in any jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(e) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.5(e).

Section 9.6. Obligations. All obligations hereunder shall be satisfied in full without set-off, defense or counterclaim.

Section 9.7. Consents, Approvals and Actions.

(a) MD Stockholders. All actions required to be taken by, or approvals or consents of, the MD Stockholders under this Agreement, the Management Stockholders Agreement, the Class A Stockholders Agreement, the Class C Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of MD or his permitted assignee; provided, that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Disabling Event, such approval or consent shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of, the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by the MD Stockholders, and in each case, such consent, approval or agreement shall constitute the necessary action, approval or consent by the MD Stockholders.

(b) SLP Stockholders. All actions required to be taken by, or approvals or consents of, the SLP Stockholders under this Agreement, the Management Stockholders Agreement, the Class A Stockholders Agreement, the Class C Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by the SLP Stockholders, and in each case such consent, approval or agreement shall constitute the necessary action, approval or consent by the SLP Stockholders.

(c) MSD Partners Stockholders. All actions required to be taken by, or approvals or consents of, the MSD Partners Stockholders under this Agreement, the Management

 

76


Stockholders Agreement, the Class A Stockholders Agreement, the Class C Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, shall be taken by consent or approval by, or agreement of, the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by the MSD Partners Stockholders, and such consent, approval or agreement shall constitute the necessary action, approval or consent by the MSD Partners Stockholders.

Section 9.8. Amendment; Waiver.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 9.8(b), any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to or of any provision of this Agreement, the Management Stockholders Agreement, the Class A Stockholders Agreement, the Class C Stockholders Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement shall require the prior written approval of the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders; provided, that if the express terms of any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver disproportionately and adversely affects a Stockholder (other than the Sponsor Stockholders) or an MSD Partners Stockholder relative to the SLP Stockholders, it shall require the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the DTI Securities held by such affected Stockholders and their Permitted Transferees in the aggregate.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any addition of a transferee of DTI Securities or a recipient of DTI Securities as a party hereto pursuant to ARTICLE VII shall not constitute an amendment hereto and the applicable Joinder Agreement need be signed only by the Company and such transferee or recipient and (ii) the Company shall promptly amend the books and records of the Company appropriately and as and to the extent necessary to reflect the removal or addition of a Stockholder, any changes in the amount and/or type of DTI Securities beneficially owned by each Stockholder and/or the addition of a transferee of DTI Securities or a recipient of any DTI Securities, in each case, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Any failure by any party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed a waiver of such provision or any other provisions hereof. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 9.9. Assignment of Rights By Stockholders.

(a) Subject to Section 9.9(b), no Stockholder may assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement except with the prior consent of the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders. Any purported assignment of rights or obligations under this Agreement in derogation of this Section 9.9 shall be null and void.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but without limiting the restrictions on transfer contained in ARTICLE IV):

(i) the MD Stockholders may assign or transfer their rights under this Agreement solely in connection with, and subject to the consummation of, a Qualified Sale Transaction; and

 

77


(ii) the SLP Stockholders may assign or transfer all of their rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom the SLP Stockholders transfer DTI Securities beneficially owned by the SLP Stockholders (and such transferee who is transferred such rights shall be deemed to be the SLP Stockholders for all purposes hereunder); provided, that the SLP Stockholders may only assign or transfer all of their rights under or pursuant to ARTICLE III and Section 4.7(a) (and thereafter the SLP Stockholders shall retain no such rights) to any Person or group of Affiliated Persons to whom the SLP Stockholders transfer greater than a majority of the DTI Securities beneficially owned by the SLP Stockholders immediately following the Closing (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event occurring after the Closing) (and such transferee who is transferred such rights shall be deemed to be the SLP Stockholders for all purposes hereunder); provided, further, that the SLP Stockholders may only assign or transfer (A) all of their rights under or pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(iv)(B) prior to an IPO and (B) their rights set forth in Section 3.3, in whole but not in part; provided, further, that the SLP Stockholders shall retain the right, at their election, to be deemed the “SLP Stockholders” for purposes of ARTICLE IV (other than the right to be an Initiating Drag-Along Seller pursuant to clause (y) of the definition thereof); and

(iii) the MSD Partners Stockholders may assign or transfer all of their rights under this Agreement to any Person or group of Affiliated Persons to whom the MSD Partners Stockholders transfer greater than a majority of the DTI Securities beneficially owned by the MSD Partners Stockholders immediately following the Closing (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event occurring after the Closing) (and such transferee who is transferred such rights shall be deemed to be the MSD Partners Stockholders for all purposes hereunder).

Section 9.10. Binding Effect. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties’ successors and permitted assigns.

Section 9.11. Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 3.5, Section 6.2, ARTICLE VIII and Section 9.14 (which will be for the benefit of the Persons set forth therein, and any such Person will have the rights provided for therein), this Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any Person that is not a party hereto, and it does not create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto.

Section 9.12. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate only (i) by written consent of the MD Stockholders (for so long as the MD Stockholders own DTI Securities) and the SLP Stockholders (for so long as the SLP Stockholders own DTI Securities), (ii) upon the consummation of a Drag-Along Sale or (iii) upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; provided, that Section 3.5 shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect; provided, further, that in the case of a termination pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii), Section 6.7 and

 

78

(b) Subject to Section 9.16(c), without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

Annex C

FORM OF DIRECTOR INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into, effective                     , by and between Dell Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                      (“Indemnitee”). This Agreement shall supersede the prior indemnification agreement between the Company and Indemnitee dated as of                      and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall apply to any Expenses, Indemnifiable Claims and Indemnifiable Losses incurred or arising on, prior to or after the date of this Agreement.

Recitals

 

A. Competent and experienced persons are reluctant to serve or to continue to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or indemnification (or both) against claims against them arising out of their service and activities as directors.

 

B. Uncertainties relating to the availability of adequate insurance for directors and officers have increased the difficulty for corporations to attract and retain competent and experienced persons to serve as directors or officers.

 

C. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the continuation of present trends in litigation will make it more difficult to attract and retain competent and experienced persons to serve as directors or officers of the Company and, in some cases, of its subsidiaries, that this situation is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure its directors and officers that there will be increased certainty of adequate protection in the future.

 

D. It is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to obligate itself contractually to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in order to induce them to serve or continue to serve as directors or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries.

 

E. Indemnitee’s willingness to continue to serve in his or her current capacity is predicated, in substantial part, upon the Company’s willingness to indemnify him or her to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware and upon the other undertakings set forth in this Agreement.

 

F.

In recognition of the need to provide Indemnitee with substantial protection against personal liability, in order to procure Indemnitee’s continued service, and to enhance Indemnitee’s ability to serve the Company in an effective manner, and in order to provide such protection pursuant to express contract rights (intended to be enforceable irrespective of any amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (collectively, the “Constituent Documents”), any


  Change of Control (as defined in Section 1(a)) or any change in the composition of the Board), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancement of Expenses (as defined in Section 1(e)) to Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement.

Now, therefore, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, Indemnitee’s agreement to continue to serve the Company in his or her current capacity and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Certain Definitions — In addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, the following terms shall have the respective meanings indicated below when used in this Agreement:

 

  (a) Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

  (i) The acquisition after the date of this Agreement by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 15% or more of either the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this paragraph (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control:

 

  (A) any acquisition directly from the Company or any Controlled Affiliate of the Company;

 

  (B) any acquisition by the Company or any Controlled Affiliate of the Company;

 

  (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Controlled Affiliate of the Company;

 

  (D) any acquisition by Mr. Michael S. Dell, his Affiliates or Associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act), his heirs or any trust or foundation to which he has transferred or may transfer Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding Company Voting Securities; or

 

  (E) any acquisition by any entity or its security holders pursuant to a transaction that complies with clauses (A), (B), and (C) of paragraph (iii) below;


  (ii) Individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Board (collectively, the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual who becomes a director of the Company subsequent to the date of this Agreement and whose election or appointment by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the then Incumbent Directors, shall be considered as an Incumbent Director, unless such individual’s initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

 

  (iii)

Consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or an acquisition of assets of another corporation (a “Business Combination”), unless, in each case, following such Business Combination (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including a corporation that as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or the corporation resulting from such Business Combination and any Person referred to in clause (D) of paragraph (i) above) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership of the Company existed prior to the Business Combination and (C) at least a majority of the members of


  the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination;

 

  (iv) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

 

  (v) The occurrence of any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) under the Exchange Act, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred if, after the occurrence of any of the events described in Sections 1(a)(i), 1(a)(ii), 1(a)(iii), 1(a)(iv) or 1(a)(v), Dell Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation, directly or indirectly through a Controlled Affiliate, beneficially owns a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

 

  (b) Claim” shall mean (i) any threatened, asserted, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding (including any cross claim or counterclaim in any action, suit or proceeding), whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, investigative or other and whether made pursuant to federal, state or other law (including securities laws); and (ii) any inquiry or investigation (including discovery), whether made, instituted or conducted by the Company or any other party, including any federal, state or other governmental entity, that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding.

 

  (c) Controlled Affiliate” shall mean any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise, whether or not for profit, that is directly or indirectly controlled by the Company. For purposes of this definition, the term “control” shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of an entity or enterprise, whether through the ownership of voting securities, through other voting rights, by contract or otherwise; provided, however, that direct or indirect beneficial ownership of capital stock or other interests in an entity or enterprise entitling the holder to cast 20% or more of the total number of votes generally entitled to be cast in the election of directors (or persons performing comparable functions) of such entity or enterprise shall be deemed to constitute “control” for purposes of this definition.


  (d) Disinterested Director” shall mean a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Claim with respect to which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

 

  (e) Expenses” shall mean all costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses) and obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending (including affirmative defenses and counterclaims), being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in (including on appeal), any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Claim.

 

  (f) Indemnifiable Claim” shall mean any Claim based upon, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:

 

  (i) Any actual, alleged or suspected act or failure to act by Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, trustee, fiduciary or agent (collectively, a “Representative”) of any Controlled Affiliate or other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other entity or enterprise, whether or not for profit, as to which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Representative;

 

  (ii) Any actual, alleged or suspected act or failure to act by Indemnitee with respect to any business, transaction, communication, filing, disclosure or other activity of the Company or any other entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of this Section 1(f); or

 

  (iii) Indemnitee’s status as a current or former director or officer of the Company or as a current or former Representative of the Company or any other entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of this Section 1(f) or any actual, alleged or suspected act or failure to act by Indemnitee in connection with any obligation or restriction imposed upon Indemnitee by reason of such status.

In addition to any service at the actual request of the Company, for purposes of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be deemed to be serving or to have served at the request of the Company as a Representative of another entity or enterprise if Indemnitee is or was serving as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, trustee, fiduciary or agent of such entity or enterprise and (A) such entity or enterprise is or at the time of such service was a Controlled Affiliate, (B) such entity or enterprise is or at the time of such service was an employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or a Controlled Affiliate or (C) the Company or a Controlled Affiliate directly or indirectly caused Indemnitee to be nominated, elected, appointed, designated, employed, engaged or selected to serve in such capacity.


  (g) Indemnifiable Losses” shall mean any and all Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Indemnifiable Claim.

 

  (h) Independent Counsel” shall mean a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and, as of the time of selection with respect to any Indemnifiable Claim, is not nor in the past five years has been retained to represent (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement or other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements) or (ii) any other party to the Indemnifiable Claim giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

 

  (i) Losses” means any and all Expenses, damages (including punitive, exemplary and the multiplied portion of any damages), losses, liabilities, judgments, payments, fines, penalties (whether civil, criminal or other), awards and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or incurred in connection with or with respect to any of the foregoing).

 

2. Indemnification Obligation — Subject to Section 9, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware in effect on the date hereof or as such laws may from time to time hereafter be amended to increase the scope of such permitted indemnification, against any and all Indemnifiable Claims and Indemnifiable Losses.

 

3. Exclusions Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification payment in connection with any Claim involving Indemnitee:

 

  (a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess Losses beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or

 

  (b)

for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of


  securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) or (iii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, including but not limited to any such policy adopted to comply with stock exchange listing requirements implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act; or

 

  (c) except as provided in Sections 5 and 24 of this Agreement, in connection with any Claim initiated by Indemnitee, including any Claim initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Claim prior to its initiation or (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.

 

4. Advancement of Expenses — Indemnitee shall have the right to advancement by the Company prior to the final disposition of any Indemnifiable Claim of any and all Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from any Indemnifiable Claim paid or incurred by Indemnitee and as to which Indemnitee provides supporting documentation. Indemnitee’s right to such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within 15 calendar days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses; provided, however, that Indemnitee shall repay, without interest, any amounts actually advanced to Indemnitee that, at the final disposition of the Indemnifiable Claim to which the advance related, were in excess of amounts paid or incurred by Indemnitee with respect to Expenses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement, which shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee undertakes to repay the amounts advanced (without interest) to the extent that it ultimately is determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. No other form of undertaking shall be required other than the execution of this Agreement. This Section 4 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 3.

 

5.

Indemnification for Additional Expenses — Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse


  Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within 15 calendar days of such request accompanied by supporting documentation for specific Expenses to be reimbursed or advanced, any and all Expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Claim made, instituted or conducted by Indemnitee for (a) indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under any provision of this Agreement or under any other agreement or provision of the Constituent Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to Indemnifiable Claims or (b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless in each case of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, reimbursement, advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be; provided, however, that Indemnitee shall return, without interest, any such advance of Expenses (or portion thereof) that remains unspent at the final disposition of the Claim to which the advance related.

 

6. Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness — Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of an Indemnifiable Claim, a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Claim to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

 

7. Partial Indemnity — If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Indemnifiable Loss but not for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

 

8. Procedure for Notification — To obtain indemnification under this Agreement with respect to an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, including a brief description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss. If, at the time of the receipt of such request, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss is potentially available, the Company shall give prompt written notice of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers and copies of all subsequent correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof by the Company. The failure by Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss and such failure results in forfeiture by the Company of substantial defenses, rights or insurance coverage.


9. Determination of Right to Indemnification —

 

  (a) To the extent that Indemnitee shall have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or any portion thereof or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim in accordance with Section 2 and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in paragraph (b) below) shall be required.

 

  (b) To the extent that the provisions of Section 9(a) are inapplicable to an Indemnifiable Claim that shall have been finally disposed of, any determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law that is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against Indemnifiable Losses relating to, arising out of or resulting from such Indemnifiable Claim (a “Standard of Conduct Determination”) shall be made as follows:

 

  (i) If a Change of Control has not occurred, or if a Change of Control has occurred but Indemnitee has requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to this clause (i):

 

  (A) By a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board;

 

  (B) If such Disinterested Directors so direct, by a majority vote of a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of all Disinterested Directors; or

 

  (C) If there are no such Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and

 

  (ii) If a Change of Control has occurred and Indemnitee has not requested that the Standard of Conduct Determination be made pursuant to clause (i) above, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.

Indemnitee will cooperate with the person or persons making such Standard of Conduct Determination, including providing to such person or persons, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure


and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within 15 calendar days of such request, accompanied by supporting documentation for specific expenses to be reimbursed or advanced, any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person making such Standard of Conduct Determination.

 

  (c) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Standard of Conduct Determination required under Section 9(b) to be made as promptly as practicable. If (i) the person or persons empowered or selected under Section 9(b) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall not have made a determination within 30 days after the later of (A) receipt by the Company of written notice from Indemnitee advising the Company of the final disposition of the applicable Indemnifiable Claim (the date of such receipt being the “Notification Date”) and (B) the selection of an Independent Counsel, if such determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, that is permitted under the provisions of Section 9(e) to make such determination and (ii) Indemnitee shall have fulfilled his or her obligations set forth in the second sentence of Section 9(b), then Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct; provided, however, that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person making such determination in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation or information relating thereto.

 

  (d) If (i) Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 9(a), (ii) no determination of whether Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses or (iii) Indemnitee has been determined or deemed pursuant to Section 9(b) or (c) to have satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law that is a legally required condition precedent to indemnification of Indemnitee hereunder against any Indemnifiable Losses, then the Company shall pay to Indemnitee, within 15 calendar days after the later of (x) the Notification Date with respect to the Indemnifiable Claim or portion thereof to which such Indemnifiable Losses are related, out of which such Indemnifiable Losses arose or from which such Indemnifiable Losses resulted and (y) the earliest date on which the applicable criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall have been satisfied, an amount equal to the amount of such Indemnifiable Losses.


  (e) If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b)(i), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b)(ii), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case, Indemnitee or the Company, as applicable, may, within five business days after receiving written notice of selection from the other, deliver to the other a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Counsel” in Section 1(h) and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit and (ii) the non-objecting party may, at its option, select an alternative Independent Counsel and give written notice to the other party advising such other party of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected, in which case the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences and clause (i) of this sentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice. If applicable, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to successive alternative selections. If no Independent Counsel that is permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(e) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall have been selected within 30 days after the Company gives its initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9(e) or Indemnitee gives its initial notice pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 9(e), as the case may be, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for resolution of any objection that has been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person or firm so appointed will act as Independent Counsel. In all events, the Company shall pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel incurred in connection with the Independent Counsel’s determination pursuant to Section 9(b).

 

10.

Presumption of Entitlement — In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct, and the


  Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by Indemnitee in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. No determination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to any Claim by Indemnitee for indemnification by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.

 

11. No Other Presumption — For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any applicable standard of conduct or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not permitted.

 

12. Non-ExclusivityThe rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Constituent Documents, the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, any other contract or otherwise (collectively, “Other Indemnity Provisions”). No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by Indemnitee prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Constituent Documents and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Subject to Section 15, the assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

 

13.

Liability Insurance and Funding — For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director or officer of the Company and thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending or possible Indemnifiable Claim, to the extent the Company maintains policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for directors and officers of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies, in accordance with their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any other director or officer of the Company. Upon request of Indemnitee, the Company shall provide Indemnitee with a copy of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related


  materials and shall provide Indemnitee with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the same. Without limiting the generality or effect of the two immediately preceding sentences, no discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of coverage from one policy period to the next shall be effective (a) without the prior approval thereof by a majority vote of the Incumbent Directors, even if less than a quorum, or (b) if at the time that any such discontinuation or significant reduction in the scope or amount of coverage is proposed there are no Incumbent Directors, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the Company’s directors and officers most favorably insured by such policy. The Company may, but shall not be required to, create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means, including a letter of credit, to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy its obligations to indemnify and advance expenses pursuant to this Agreement.

 

14. Subrogation — The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by an Indemnitee-Related Entity (as defined herein). The Company hereby agrees that (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Indemnitee-Related Entity to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) it shall be required to advance the full amount of Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws (or any agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Indemnitee-Related Entity, and (iii) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Indemnitee-Related Entity from any and all claims against the Indemnitee-Related Entity for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Indemnitee-Related Entity on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Indemnitee-Related Entity shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The term “Indemnitee-Related Entity” means any company, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Company or the insurer under and pursuant to an insurance policy of the Company) from whom an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses with respect to which the Company may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation.


15. No Duplication of Payments — Subject to the provisions of Section 14 of this Agreement, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (net of Expenses incurred in connection therewith) under any insurance policy, the Constituent Documents or Other Indemnity Provisions or otherwise (including from any entity or enterprise referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Indemnifiable Claim” in Section 1(f)) with respect to such Indemnifiable Losses otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

 

16. Defense of Claims — The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee; provided, however, that if Indemnitee believes, after consultation with counsel selected by Indemnitee, that (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict, (b) the named parties in any such Indemnifiable Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall conclude that there may be one or more legal defenses available to him or her that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or (c) any such representation by such counsel would be precluded under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel with respect to any particular Indemnifiable Claim) at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim that Indemnitee is or could have been a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnifiable Claim. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement; provided, however, that Indemnitee may withhold consent to (i) any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee or (ii) any settlement which imposes a monetary payment obligation upon Indemnitee which is not being paid in full by the Company, insurance coverage or any other party for the benefit of Indemnitee.

 

17. Successors and Binding Agreement —

 

  (a)

The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee and his or her counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be


  binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including any person acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor will thereafter be deemed the “Company” for purposes of this Agreement), but shall not otherwise be assignable or delegatable by the Company.

 

  (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Indemnitee’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, legatees and other successors.

 

  (c) This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the other, assign or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 17(a) and 17(b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, Indemnitee’s right to receive payments hereunder shall not be assignable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than by a transfer by Indemnitee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and in the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 17(c), the Company shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred.

 

18. Duration of Agreement — This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any proceeding then pending in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 24 of this Agreement relating thereto.

 

19. Notices — For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications, including notices, consents, requests or approvals, required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered or dispatched by electronic facsimile transmission (with receipt thereof orally confirmed), or five business days after having been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or one business day after having been sent for next-day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company (to the attention of the Secretary of the Company) and to Indemnitee at the addresses shown on the signature page hereto, or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of address will be effective only upon receipt.

 

20.

Governing Law — The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles


  of conflict of laws of such State. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding that arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware.

 

21. Validity — If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected, and the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal shall be reformed to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to make it enforceable, valid or legal. In the event that any court or other adjudicative body shall decline to reform any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the parties thereto shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to replace the provision so held to be invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal with one or more alternative provisions that effectuate the purpose and intent of the original provisions of this Agreement as fully as possible without being invalid, unenforceable or otherwise illegal.

 

22. Amendments; Waivers — No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such amendment, modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Indemnitee and the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

 

23. Complete Agreement — No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.

 

24.

Legal Fees and Expenses — It is the intent of the Company that Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to Indemnitee hereunder. Accordingly, without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, if it should appear to Indemnitee that the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, the Company irrevocably authorizes Indemnitee from time to time to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Company as hereafter provided, to


  advise and represent Indemnitee in connection with any such interpretation, enforcement or defense, including the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Company or any director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Company, in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client relationship between the Company and such counsel, the Company irrevocably consents to Indemnitee’s entering into an attorney-client relationship with such counsel, and in that connection the Company and Indemnitee agree that a confidential relationship shall exist between Indemnitee and such counsel. Without respect to whether Indemnitee prevails, in whole or in part, in connection with any of the foregoing, the Company will pay and be solely financially responsible for any and all attorneys’ and related fees and expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any of the foregoing.

 

25. Certain Interpretive Matters —

 

  (a) No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in favor of, or against, either of the parties hereto by reason of the extent to which any such party or its counsel participated in the drafting thereof or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof or thereof.

 

  (b) It is the Company’s intention and desire that the provisions of this Agreement be construed liberally, subject to their express terms, to maximize the protections to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder.

 

  (c) All references in this Agreement to Sections, paragraphs, clauses and other subdivisions refer to the corresponding Sections, paragraphs, clauses and other subdivisions of this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise. Titles appearing at the beginning of any Sections, subsections or other subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of such Sections, subsections or other subdivisions and shall be disregarded in construing the language contained in such subdivisions. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and “hereof,” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The word “or” is not exclusive, and the word “including” (in its various forms) means “including without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine or neuter genders shall be construed to state and include any other gender, and words, terms and titles (including terms defined herein) in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise expressly requires.

 

26. Counterparts — This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.


In witness whereof, Indemnitee has executed, and the Company has caused its duly authorized representative to execute, this Agreement as of the date first above written.

In the event that more than one Stockholder proposes to execute a Tag-Along Sale as an Initiating Tag-Along Seller, then all such transferring Stockholders shall be treated as the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, and the DTI Securities held and to be transferred by such Stockholders shall be aggregated as set forth in Section 7.15, including for purposes of calculating the applicable Tag-Along Sale Percentage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary, if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller is transferring DTI Common Stock or vested in-the-money Company Stock Options in such Tag-Along Sale, each of the Eligible Tag-Along Sellers shall be entitled to transfer the same

 

23


proportion of Transferable Shares held by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller as the proportion of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller’s DTI Common Stock and vested in-the-money Company Stock Options (relative to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller’s total number of such DTI Securities) that are being sold by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale (with each vested in the money Company Stock Option counting as a share of DTI Common Stock for purposes of the foregoing calculation). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, no DTI Securities that are subject to any vesting or similar condition may be transferred prior to such time as such DTI Securities have fully vested and become Transferable Shares; provided, that it is understood that if such DTI Securities vest in connection with such Tag-Along Sale and would become Transferable Shares, such Transferable Shares may be transferred in connection therewith in accordance with this Section 3.4.

(b) Upon delivery of a Tag-Along Sale Notice, each Eligible Tag-Along Seller may elect to include all or a portion of such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares in such Tag-Along Sale (Eligible Tag-Along Sellers who make such an election being an “Electing Tag-Along Seller” and, together with the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and all other Persons (other than any Affiliates of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller) who otherwise are transferring, or have exercised a contractual or other right to transfer, Transferable Shares in connection with such Tag-Along Sale, the “Tag-Along Sellers”), at the same price per Share (it being understood that all classes or series of DTI Common Stock shall be at the same price per share) and pursuant to the same terms and conditions as agreed to by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and otherwise in accordance with this Section 3.4, by sending an irrevocable written notice (a “Tag-Along Participation Notice”) to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller within fifteen (15) days of the date the Tag-Along Sale Notice is received by such Eligible Tag-Along Seller, indicating such Electing Tag-Along Seller’s irrevocable election, subject to Section 3.4(c), to include its Tag-Along Shares in the Tag-Along Sale and setting forth the number of Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares it elects to include. Following such fifteen (15) day period, each Electing Tag-Along Seller that has delivered a Tag-Along Participation Notice shall be entitled to sell to such proposed transferee on the same terms and conditions as and, concurrently with, the other Electing Tag-Along Sellers and the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, such Electing Tag-Along Seller’s Tag-Along Shares it elects to include, which terms and conditions have been set forth in the Tag-Along Sale Notice. Each Eligible Tag-Along Seller who does not deliver a Tag-Along Participation Notice within such fifteen (15) day period shall have waived and be deemed to have waived all of such Eligible Tag-Along Seller’s rights with respect to such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that in order to be entitled to exercise its right to include Tag-Along Shares in a Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.4, each Electing Tag-Along Seller must agree to make the same representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements to the Tag-Along Buyer as made by the Initiating Tag-Along Seller and any Electing Tag-Along Seller in connection with the Tag-Along Sale (and shall be subject to the same escrow or other holdback arrangements as such Persons so long as such escrows or other holdbacks are proportionately based on the amount of consideration received for the sale of DTI Securities in such Tag-Along Sale transaction); provided, that:

(i) each Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion (based on the relative amount and type of Transferable Shares sold in such Tag-Along Sale transaction) of any deferred consideration or indemnification payments relating to such Tag-Along Sale (provided, however, that, with respect to any unexercised

 

24


Company Stock Options proposed to be transferred in such Tag-Along Sale by any Tag-Along Seller, the per share consideration in respect thereof shall be reduced by the exercise price of such options or, if required pursuant to the terms of such options or such Tag-Along Sale, such Tag-Along Seller must exercise the relevant option and transfer the relevant Transferable Shares (rather than the option) (in each case, net of any amounts required to be withheld by the Company in connection with such exercise));

(ii) the aggregate amount of liability of each Electing Tag-Along Seller shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Electing Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale;

(iii) all indemnification obligations (other than with respect to the matters referenced in Section 3.4(b)(iv)) shall be on a several and not joint basis to the Tag-Along Sellers pro rata (based on the amount of consideration received by each Tag-Along Seller in the Tag-Along Sale transaction); and

(iv) no Electing Tag-Along Seller shall be responsible for any indemnification obligations and/or liabilities (including through escrow or hold back arrangements) for (A) breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties made with respect to any other Tag-Along Seller’s (1) ownership of and title to DTI Securities, (2) organization and authority or (3) conflicts and consents and any other matter concerning such other Person and/or (B) breaches of any covenant specifically relating to any other Tag-Along Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding the delivery of any Tag-Along Sale Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Tag-Along Sale and as to the timing, manner, price and, subject to Section 3.4(b)(i) through (iv), other terms and conditions of any such Tag-Along Sale shall be at the sole discretion of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, and none of the Initiating Tag-Along Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any liability to any Electing Tag-Along Seller arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Tag-Along Sale except to the extent such Initiating Tag-Along Seller failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.4 ; provided, that (i) if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller agrees to amend, restate, modify or supplement the terms and/or conditions of the Tag-Along Sale after such time that any Stockholder has elected to be an Electing Tag-Along Seller in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.4, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller shall promptly notify the Company and each Electing Tag-Along Seller of such amendment, restatement, modification and/or supplement and (ii) each such Electing Tag-Along Seller shall have the right to withdraw its Tag-Along Participation Notice by delivering written notice of such withdrawal to the Initiating Tag-Along Seller within five (5) Business Days of the date of receipt of such notice from the Initiating Tag-Along Seller.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4 to the contrary, this Section 3.4 shall not apply to (i) any transfers of DTI Securities to a Permitted Transferee of the transferring Stockholder, (ii) any transfers of DTI Securities by the Sponsor Stockholders and/or their Permitted Transferees pursuant to Section 3.5 and/or (iii) any transfer of shares of Class C DTI Common Stock in a registered public offering (whether in a Demand Registration,

 

25


Piggyback Registration, Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or otherwise), it being understood that Management Stockholders’ participation rights in connection with transfers of Transferable Shares in a registered public offering (whether in a Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration, Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or otherwise) shall be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(e) All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Sponsor Stockholders and/or one (1) outside legal counsel acting jointly for the Management Stockholders (which legal counsel shall have been approved in advance by the Sponsor Stockholders), in each case, in connection with such Tag-Along Sale shall be allocated and borne on a pro rata basis by each Tag-Along Seller in accordance with the amount of consideration otherwise received by each Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that this Section 3.4(e) shall not prevent any Tag-Along Sale to be structured in a manner such that some or all of the such costs and expenses result in a pro rata reduction in the consideration received by the Tag-Along Sellers in such Tag-Along Sale.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Initiating Tag-Along Seller has not completed the proposed Tag-Along Sale within one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery of the Tag-Along Sale Notice in accordance with this Section 3.4, the Initiating Tag-Along Seller may not then effect such proposed Tag-Along Sale without again complying with the provisions of this Section 3.4; provided, that if such proposed Tag-Along Sale is subject to, and conditioned on, one or more prior regulatory approvals, then such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended solely to the extent necessary until no later than the expiration of ten (10) days after all such approvals shall have been received.

Section 3.5. Drag-Along Rights.

(a) Subject to Section 3.5(g), an Initiating Drag-Along Seller shall be entitled to give, or direct the Company to give and if so directed by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller the Company shall so promptly give, written notice (a “Drag-Along Sale Notice”) to the Management Stockholders that such Initiating Drag-Along Seller or the Company has entered into one or a series of related transactions (including any merger or consolidation) involving the sale, transfer, exchange or conversion of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of DTI Common Stock and other debt securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into DTI Common Stock, or any option, warrant or other right to acquire any DTI Common Stock or such debt securities of the Company to any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, one or more Affiliates or Permitted Transferees of such Initiating Drag-Along Seller) (a “Drag-Along Sale”), and that such Initiating Drag-Along Seller is requiring the Management Stockholders (all Management Stockholders participating in a Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.5, the “Dragged-Along Sellers”, together with the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and all other Persons (other than any Affiliates of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller) who otherwise are transferring, have a contractual obligation to transfer, or have exercised a contractual or other right to transfer, DTI Securities in connection with such Drag-Along Sale, the “Drag-Along Sellers”) to

 

26


participate, agree and take such actions reasonably necessary to sell in such Drag-Along Sale, on the same price, consideration, terms and conditions as the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and in the manner set forth in this Section 3.5, a number of Transferable Shares held by such Dragged-Along Seller determined by multiplying (A) the number of Transferable Shares held by such Dragged-Along Sellers at the time of the consummation of such Drag-Along Sale, by (B) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of DTI Securities to be transferred by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees in such Drag-Along Sale and the denominator of which is the total number of DTI Securities held at such time by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller and its Permitted Transferees (such fraction, the “Drag-Along Sale Percentage”). The Drag-Along Sale Notice shall be delivered to all Dragged-Along Sellers at least fifteen (15) days prior to each of the consummation of such Drag-Along Sale and the delivery of a Drag-Along Sale Notice setting forth (i) the number and type of each class of DTI Securities proposed to be transferred, (ii) the consideration to be received for such DTI Securities, (iii) the identity of the other Person(s) party to the Drag-Along Sale, (iv) a detailed summary of all material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, (v) the Drag-Along Sale Percentage, (vi) the date of the anticipated completion of the proposed Drag-Along Sale (which date shall not be less than fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such notice) and (vii) any action or actions required of the Dragged-Along Sellers in connection with the Drag-Along Sale. In the event that more than one MD Stockholder and/or more than one SLP Stockholder is the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, then all such transferring MD Stockholders and/or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be treated as the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, and the DTI Securities held and to be transferred by such MD Stockholders and/or SLP Stockholders, as the case may be, shall be aggregated as set forth in Section 7.15, including for purposes of calculating the applicable Drag-Along Sale Percentage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.5 to the contrary, if the MD Stockholders and MSD Partners Stockholders are transferring some, but not all of their DTI Common Stock or vested in-the-money Company Stock Options in any Drag-Along Sale, each of the Management Stockholders shall be entitled to transfer the same proportion of Transferable Shares held by it as the proportion, in the aggregate, of the MD Stockholders’ and the MSD Partners Stockholders’ DTI Common Stock and vested in-the-money Company Stock Options (relative to the MD Stockholders’ and the MSD Partners Stockholders’ total number of such DTI Securities) that are being sold by the MD Stockholders and the MSD Partners Stockholders in such Drag-Along Sale (with each vested in the money Company Stock Option counting as a share of DTI Common Stock for purposes of the foregoing calculation). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, no DTI Securities that are subject to any vesting or similar condition may be transferred prior to such time as such DTI Securities have fully vested and become Transferable Shares; provided, that it is understood that if such DTI Securities vest in connection with such Drag-Along Sale and would become Transferable Shares, such Transferable Shares shall be required to be transferred in connection therewith in accordance with this Section 3.5.

 

27


(b) Upon delivery of a Drag-Along Sale Notice, all Dragged-Along Sellers participating in a Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be required to agree to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the applicable Initiating Drag-Along Seller and all other Drag-Along Sellers in such Drag-Along Sale (and shall be subject to the same escrow or other holdback arrangements as such Persons so long as such escrows or other holdbacks are proportionately based on the amount of consideration received for the sale of DTI Securities in such Drag-Along Sale transaction); provided, that:

(i) each Dragged-Along Seller shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion (based on the relative amount and type of Transferable Shares sold in such Drag-Along Sale transaction) of any deferred consideration or indemnification payments relating to such Drag-Along Sale transaction (provided, however, that, with respect to any unexercised Company Stock Options proposed to be transferred in such Drag-Along Sale by any Drag-Along Seller, the per share consideration in respect thereof shall be reduced by the exercise price of such options or, if required pursuant to the terms of such options or such Drag-Along Sale, such Drag-Along Seller must exercise the relevant option and transfer the relevant shares of DTI Common Stock (rather than the option) (in each case, net of any amounts required to be withheld by the Company in connection with such exercise));

(ii) the aggregate amount of liability of each Dragged-Along Seller shall not exceed the proceeds received by such Dragged-Along Seller in such Drag-Along Sale;

(iii) all indemnification obligations (other than with respect to the matters referenced in Section 3.5(b)(iv)) shall be on a several and not joint basis to the Drag-Along Sellers pro rata (based on the amount of consideration received by each Drag-Along Seller in the Drag-Along Sale transaction); and

(iv) no Dragged-Along Seller shall be responsible for any indemnification obligations and/or liabilities (including through escrow or hold back arrangements) for (A) breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties made with respect to any other Drag-Along Seller’s (1) ownership of and title to equity securities, (2) organization and authority or (3) conflicts and consents and any other matter concerning such other Drag Along Seller and/or (B) breaches of any covenant specifically relating to any other Drag-Along Sellers.

(c) In connection with a Drag-Along Sale, at the request of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller or the Company (at the direction of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller), each Drag-Along Seller shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.5(b):

(i) (A) sign a written resolution voting all of such Dragged-Along Seller’s voting DTI Securities in favor of such Drag-Along Sale (if such a vote is required) or (B) at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders or at any other meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, in each case to the extent that such Dragged-Along Seller’s DTI Securities are entitled to vote thereon, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the stockholders of the Company is sought, (x) appear at each meeting of stockholders or otherwise cause all of the voting DTI Securities beneficially owned by such Dragged-Along Seller as of the applicable record date to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (y) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of such Dragged-Along Seller’s voting DTI Securities as of the applicable record date in favor of such Drag-Along Sale (if such a vote is required); and

 

28


(ii) take or cause to be taken all such actions as are reasonably required or necessary in order to facilitate and consummate expeditiously such Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.5, including (A) executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments and (B) filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities.

(d) Notwithstanding the delivery of any Drag-Along Sale Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Drag-Along Sale and as to the timing, manner, price and, subject to Section 3.5(b)(i) through (iv), other terms and conditions of any such Drag-Along Sale shall be at the sole discretion of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, and none of the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any liability to any Dragged-Along Seller arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Drag-Along Sale except to the extent such Initiating Drag-Along Seller failed to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.5; provided, that (i) if the Initiating Drag-Along Seller agrees to amend, restate, modify or supplement the terms and/or conditions of the Drag-Along Sale after such time that the Drag-Along Sale Notice has been delivered to the Dragged-Along Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.5, the Initiating Drag-Along Seller shall promptly notify the Company and cause to be delivered to each Dragged-Along Seller a revised Drag-Along Sale Notice containing all of the items required of a Drag-Along Sale Notice as set forth in Section 3.5(a) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such Drag-Along Sale.

(e) All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of the Sponsor Stockholders and their Permitted Transferees and/or one (1) outside legal counsel acting jointly for the Management Stockholders (which legal counsel shall have been approved in advance by the Sponsor Stockholders), in each case, in connection with a Drag-Along Sale shall either be (i) borne in full by the Company or (ii) if the Company determines not to bear in full such costs and expenses, allocated and borne on a pro rata basis by each Drag-Along Seller in accordance with the amount of consideration otherwise received by each Drag-Along Seller in such Drag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that this Section 3.5(e) shall not prevent any Drag-Along Sale to be structured in a manner such that some or all of the such costs and expenses result in a pro rata reduction in the consideration received by the Drag-Along Sellers in such Drag-Along Sale.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Initiating Drag-Along Seller has not completed the proposed Drag-Along Sale within one hundred eighty (180) days following delivery of the Drag-Along Sale Notice in accordance with this Section 3.5, then such Drag-Along Sale Notice shall be null and void, each Dragged-Along Seller shall be released from its obligations under such Drag-Along Sale Notice and it shall be necessary for a separate Drag-Along Sale Notice to be furnished by the Initiating Drag-Along Seller, and the other terms and provisions of this Section 3.5 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 3.5; provided, that if such proposed Drag-Along Sale is subject to, and conditioned on, one or more prior regulatory approvals, then such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended solely to the extent necessary until no later than the expiration of ten (10) days after all such approvals shall have been received.

Section 3.6. Black-Out Periods.

(a) In the event of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (whether a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Registration Rights Agreement or an underwritten offering of Shares pursuant to Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 of the Registration Rights Agreement, each of the Management Stockholders agrees if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such underwritten offering (or if requested by (A) the Shelf Take-Down Initiating Sponsor Holders in the case of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (whether a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Registration Rights Agreement or (B) the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders in the case of an underwritten Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Registration Rights Agreement), not to (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge, hypothecate, transfer, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option or right to purchase of or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any DTI Securities (including DTI Securities that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Management Stockholder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and DTI Securities that may be issued upon exercise of any Company Stock Options or warrants or settlement of any Company Awards) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for DTI Securities, (2) enter into any swap, hedging arrangement or other derivatives transaction with respect to any DTI Securities (including DTI Securities that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Management Stockholder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and DTI Securities that may be issued upon exercise of any Company Stock Options or warrants or settlement of any Company Awards) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for DTI Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of DTI Securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (1) through (3), during each of the following time periods: (X) in the case of an IPO, during the period beginning seven (7) days before, and ending one hundred eighty (180) days (subject to any customary “booster shot” extensions) thereafter, (Y) in the case of any other underwritten offering but subject to clause (Z), during the period beginning seven (7) days before, and ending ninety (90) days (subject to any customary “booster shot” extensions) thereafter and (Z) in the case of any other offering or shelf take-down, such other period as may be requested by the Company that is no less favorable to the Management Stockholders than that applicable to the Sponsor Holders, the managing underwriter or underwriters, or the Person initiating such offering or shelf take-down; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit a Management Stockholder from exercising its rights, if any, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters of any such underwritten offering, each Management Stockholder shall execute a customary agreement reflecting its agreement set forth in this Section 3.6.

(a) If an Applicable Employee (other than an Applicable Employee who is or was serving solely as a Non-Sponsor Director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (which for this purpose includes VMware and its subsidiaries)) engages in Repayment Behavior while employed by or providing services to the Company and/or any of its Affiliates or at any time during the one (1) year period following such Applicable Employee’s date of termination of employment or service with the Company and all of its Affiliates, then upon the date on which the Applicable Employee first engages in such Repayment Behavior (such date, the “Trigger Date”):

(i) all of such Applicable Employee’s and any member of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group’s unvested Company Awards and any Company Stock Options then held by such Applicable Employee and/or any member of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group, if any, that first vested and became exercisable during the two (2) year period immediately preceding the earlier of (A) the Trigger Date and (B) such Applicable Employee’s date of termination of employment or service to the Company and all of its Affiliates shall be automatically forfeited for no consideration (such two-year period, the “Claw Back Period”);

(i) all of such Applicable Employee’s and any member of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group’s Post-Termination Vesting Eligible Shares then held by such Applicable Employee and/or any member of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group, if any, that remain subject to a Company Stock Option or other Company Award on the Services Commencement Date, whether or not vested, shall be automatically forfeited for no consideration;

(ii) any Shares then held by such Applicable Employee and/or any member of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group that were acquired upon the exercise of any Company Stock Option or in connection with the grant or settlement of any other Company Award and that were Post-Termination Vesting Eligible Shares immediately prior to the later of the date on which such Shares were acquired by or issued to such Applicable Employee or any member of such Applicable

Each Applicable Employee agrees to notify the Company in writing within seven (7) days of commencing any Post-Retirement Services, and to promptly provide the Company all information that the Company reasonably requests in order to determine any amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.8(a) to the Company by such Applicable Employee or any member of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group.

(c) In the event that an Applicable Employee and the members of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group sold Shares and are obligated to pay the Company the Post-Retirement Amount as contemplated in Section 3.8(a)(iii), such Applicable Employee and each member of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group, if applicable, shall promptly (and in any event, no later than five (5) business days following written notification of such repayment obligation by the Company) pay such Post-Retirement Amount to such bank account as instructed, and deliver all such releases and/or instruments or documents properly completed and duly executed, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company.

 

35


(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of any Management Stockholder and/or any Applicable Employee may not be assigned or transferred (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by such Management Stockholder or Applicable Employee to any Person, any assignee or transferee of Shares, or otherwise.

39


Period electing to acquire its entire Participating Sponsor Pro Rata Portion of the Sponsor Call Shares that such Sponsor Stockholders are entitled to purchase their Participating Sponsor Pro Rata Portion (relative to all Sponsor Stockholders being so notified) of such Sponsor Call Shares with respect to which Sponsor Stockholders shall not have exercised their Sponsor Call Right.

Section 4.4. Put Right of the Management Stockholders.

(a) Subject to Section 4.9, and except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Company (with the Board’s prior written approval) and an Applicable Employee, if the employment or service of such Applicable Employee with the Company and all of its Affiliates shall be terminated or end for any reason at any time other than for Cause, such Applicable Employee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver one (1) written notice in the form attached hereto as Annex C (a “Put Notice”) to the Company at any time during the Put Period (but in no event later than the Put Termination Date), to require the Company to purchase, and the Company shall have the obligation to purchase, the amount of vested Shares (including, as provided herein, any Share that is issued upon the exercise of a vested Company Stock Option or similar purchase right or in settlement of a vested Company Award) identified in such Put Notice

 

40


and that have been both (x) collectively owned by such Applicable Employee and/or any member of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group and (y) vested for at least six (6) months prior to the delivery of such Put Notice to the Company (such Shares elected to be sold to the Company, the “Put Shares”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article IV (other than Section 4.5) (a “Put Right”); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Put Right shall be subject to, and the Company shall not be required to purchase any Put Shares that would breach, violate or be inconsistent with, the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in Section 4.6.

The Company shall make the Liquidity Program Repurchase Offers as follows: (1) a Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer shall commence (A) after the last day of the second fiscal quarter of each fiscal year but (B) on or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the last day of such fiscal quarter, and (2) an additional Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer shall commence (A) after the last day of each fiscal year but (B) on or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the last day of such fiscal year; provided, that, for the purposes of this clause (2), if a material event that is outside of the Company’s reasonable control prevents the adoption of audited financial statements for such fiscal year prior to the end of such ninety (90) day period, then such additional Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer shall instead commence within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Company receives an audit opinion with respect to such financial statements from the Company’s independent accounting firm. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer” means a written offer delivered by the Company to purchase for cash any and all outstanding shares of Class C DTI Common Stock. Each written notice of a Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer delivered by the Company to holders of Class C DTI Common Stock shall constitute a “Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer Notice.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) each Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer shall be subject to, and the Company shall not be required to make any Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer that would breach, violate or be inconsistent with, the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in Section 4.6 and (II) to the extent the Company is prohibited from repurchasing Shares pursuant to Section 4.6, the Company shall make the applicable Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer to purchase the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased without violating any provisions thereof.

(b) In order to accept a Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer, a Stockholder must deliver to the Company a properly completed and duly executed irrevocable notice accepting the Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer in the form attached to the Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer Notice (which shall, among other things, identify the number shares of Class C DTI Common Stock elected to be sold to the Company), together with all other documents required to be delivered in connection therewith, properly completed and duly executed, including all such shares of Class C DTI Common Stock elected to be sold by such Stockholder and, if such Stockholder is an Applicable Employee, all members of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group, to the Company in such Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer, and all stock certificates representing such shares of Class C DTI Common Stock if such shares of Class C DTI Common Stock are certificated (or affidavits and other evidence reasonably requested with respect to lost, damaged or destroyed stock certificates), free and clear of all Encumbrances (with any applicable stock transfer tax stamps properly affixed), and deliver all such letters of transmittal and/or instruments of transfer as shall be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer, no later than the expiration of the Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer Window Period (collectively, the “Liquidity Program Repurchase Acceptance Notice”). If any Stockholder fails to deliver to the Company all items required in its Liquidity Program Repurchase Acceptance Notice prior to the expiration of the Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer Window Period, such Stockholder and, if such Stockholder is an Applicable Employee, all members of such Applicable Employee’s Management Stockholder Group, shall have waived and be deemed to have waived all of their rights with respect to such Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer. The Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer shall remain open for the duration of the Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer Window Period. The Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer Notice shall include a form of notice of acceptance to be completed by the applicable Stockholders who wish to accept such Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer. The price for each share of Class C DTI Common Stock set forth in the Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer Notice shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of each such share of Class C DTI Common Stock to be repurchased as of the date of the Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer Notice. The Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer Notice shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to Stockholders to the address, e-mail address or facsimile number appearing in the books and records of the Company or on the signature pages hereto and/or Joinder Agreement (if applicable) of such Stockholders.

The Company will use its good faith efforts to cause any debt financing arrangements to permit at least $100,000,000 of repurchases of DTI Securities each fiscal year; provided, that in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates be required to agree to any, or amend, supplement, waive or modify any, terms or conditions in a manner adverse to the Company or its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates. The Company shall repurchase all Repurchase Shares which the Company failed to purchase due to Repurchase Limitations as soon as practicable, in compliance with, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement.

(b) Repurchase Caps. In addition to the Repurchase Limitations set forth in Section 4.6(a) and subject to the repurchase priority set forth in Section 4.6(c), notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company’s obligation to repurchase shares of DTI Common Stock shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.6(b). Repurchases of shares of DTI Common Stock pursuant to Liquidity Program Repurchase Offers and repurchases of shares of DTI Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of Put Rights or similar contractual rights of stockholders of the Company (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any net share withholding to pay the minimum required tax withholding due in connection with the issuance or vesting of such Shares) are collectively subject to, and the Company is not obligated to purchase any such Shares, in any fiscal year period in excess of the lesser of (i) $300,000,000 in the aggregate and (ii) the amount available at the time of such repurchase under the restricted payment basket in section 6.08(a)(vi) of the Credit Agreement or the lowest amount pursuant to a comparable provision in any other instruments or agreements evidencing debt securities, term loan indebtedness and other debt financing arrangements of the Company and/or its Affiliates (the “Aggregate Cap”) and the Individual Cap (together with the Aggregate Cap, the “Repurchase Caps”); provided, that the Company (solely with the Board’s prior written consent) may waive the Aggregate Cap or (with the prior written consent of the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders) any applicable Individual Cap as it may apply to the Management Stockholder Group of any Applicable Employee. The Company shall repurchase all shares of DTI Common Stock pursuant to Liquidity Program Repurchase Offers and repurchases of shares

 

43


of DTI Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of Put Rights or similar contractual rights of stockholders of the Company (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any net share withholding in connection with the exercise of Company Stock Options to acquire such shares) which the Company failed to purchase due to the Repurchase Caps as soon as practicable, in compliance with, and subject to the terms of, this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.6, until such date as Repurchase Shares held by a Management Stockholder are repurchased in accordance with Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, or Section 4.5, as applicable, the Management Stockholder shall have all the rights and privileges as a holder of Shares with respect to such Repurchase Shares, including but not limited to the rights set forth in Section 3.4 (Tag-Along Rights) and Section 3.5 (Drag-Along Rights).

(c) Repurchase Priority. In the event that either the repurchase of Repurchase Shares of more than one Person has been delayed pursuant to Section 4.6(a) and/or a Management Stockholder Group’s shares of DTI Common Stock cannot be repurchased due to the Repurchase Caps, the Company shall repurchase any then pending Repurchase Shares that it is permitted under this Section 4.6 to repurchase but which the Company failed to purchase due to Repurchase Limitations in the priority set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) below. In addition, if, as of any given date, the Company is, as of such date, obligated to repurchase shares of DTI Common Stock from more than one Management Stockholder Group or Person, irrespective of whether such shares are Put Shares, Call Shares, Shares in a Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer, or otherwise, the Company shall repurchase any shares of DTI Common Stock that it is required to purchase pursuant to this Agreement and/or any other contractual arrangement, in the priority set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) below.

(i) First, subject to the Repurchase Caps, all shares of DTI Common Stock for which a Put Right or similar contractual right of a Stockholder was exercised, on a pro rata basis among all holders of such shares.

(ii) Second, only if all shares of DTI Common Stock in clause (i) have been repurchased by the Company or a Subsidiary within the Repurchase Caps, all shares of DTI Common Stock for which a Call Right or similar contractual right of the Company with respect to a Stockholder was exercised, on a pro rata basis among all holders of such shares; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure of the Company to repurchase shares of DTI Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.4 due to a Repurchase Cap shall not delay, limit or impair the Company’s ability to repurchase shares of DTI Common Stock pursuant to this clause (ii).

(iii) Third, only if all shares of DTI Common Stock in clause (ii) have been repurchased by the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, subject to the Repurchase Caps, all shares of DTI Common Stock for which the Company has received a Liquidity Program Repurchase Acceptance Notice, on a pro rata basis among all holders of such shares.

The right of the Company (or, to the extent provided in Section 4.3, the Sponsor Stockholders) to effect a Call Right and the obligation of the Company to purchase any Put Shares, in each case, as set forth in this Article IV, automatically terminates without any further action upon the consummation of a Change in Control in which the Shares held by Management Stockholders are exchanged for, or converted into, equity securities of a Person, which equity securities are listed on a securities exchange or automated quotation system. In addition, the obligation of the Company to make a Liquidity Program Repurchase Offer or purchase shares of Class C DTI Common Stock pursuant thereto automatically terminates without any further action upon the consummation of a Change in Control.

47


(B) each share of DTI Common Stock held by any of the Sponsor Stockholders or any of their respective Permitted Transferees will be converted into a share of a class of high-voting common stock of the IPO Entity that will entitle its holder to ten (10) votes per share on all matters upon which holders of common stock of the IPO Entity are entitled to vote (the “Post-IPO High Vote Common Stock”), (C) each share of Class C DTI Common Stock (including Class C DTI Common Stock which was issued in exchanged for Class A DTI Common Stock held by Management Stockholder in accordance with the preceding clause (A)) will be converted into a share of regular-voting common stock entitling its holder to one (1) vote on all matters upon which holders of common stock of the IPO Entity are entitled to vote (the “Post-IPO Regular Vote Common Stock”) and (D) each share of common stock of the IPO Entity that is issued or sold in an IPO shall be Post-IPO Regular Vote Common Stock.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, immediately prior to the consummation of an IPO, if (A) the IPO Entity is not the Company and (B) a transaction contemplated by Section 5.3(a) has not occurred, then the Company and the Stockholders shall (x) take such actions as may reasonably be necessary to exchange all DTI Securities for equity securities of such IPO Entity; provided, that all of the Management Stockholders shall, to the extent appropriate, as determined by the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders, execute a stockholders agreement with terms that are substantially equivalent (to the extent practicable) to, mutatis mutandis, the terms of this Agreement (except with respect to any terms herein that do not apply after the consummation of an IPO) and (y) the Company shall assign all rights, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and shall cause the IPO Entity to assume all rights, liabilities and obligations of the Company, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, that no such assignment shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder or under the Registration Rights Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Share Rollover Agreements, the RSU Rollover Agreements and any Company Award between the Company and an Applicable Employee for any Management Stockholder) constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case, written or oral, of any and every nature with respect thereto. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any document executed or delivered to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including the Organizational Documents of any Person, this Agreement shall govern as among the parties hereto. Each of the parties hereto shall exercise all voting and other rights and powers available to it so as to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and, if necessary, to procure (so far as it is able to do so) any required amendment to the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents, in order to cure any such inconsistency.

Section 7.2. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that, in the event of breach by any party, damages would not be an adequate remedy and each of the other parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. The parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief.

Section 7.3. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim

Section 7.4. Submissions to Jurisdictions; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably acknowledges and consents that any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to and accepts with regard to any such action or proceeding, for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware). Each party hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) lacks jurisdiction over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party.

(b) Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party, at its address for notices as provided in Section 7.12 of this Agreement, such service to become effective ten (10) days after such mailing. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other documents contemplated hereby, that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Subject to Section 7.4(c), the foregoing shall not limit the rights of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except as provided above and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the respective parties to this Agreement.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to commence by publication any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations under or relating to this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives the objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to

 

50


this Agreement in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) is not a convenient forum for any such suit, action or proceeding.

(d) The parties hereto agree that any judgment obtained by any party hereto or its successors or assigns in any action, suit or proceeding referred to above may, in the discretion of such party (or its successors or assigns), be enforced in any jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

EACH OF THE PARTIES (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.4(e).

(b) Any failure by the Company or a Sponsor Stockholder at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed a waiver of such provision or any other provisions hereof. The waiver by the Company or a Sponsor Stockholder of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of the Company or a Sponsor Stockholder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or

 

52


otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by the Company or a Sponsor Stockholder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 7.8. Assignment of Rights By Management Stockholders. No Management Stockholder may assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement except with the prior consent of the MD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders.

(a) Filing. Following an IPO, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) file a Shelf Registration Statement for a public offering of all Registrable Securities (or such lesser amount as the Sponsor Stockholders holding Registrable Securities agree, provided, that (x) all Registrable Securities of the Management Holders must be registered under such Shelf Registration Statement, (y) all Registrable Securities held by the Temasek Holders must be registered under such Shelf Registration Statement, and (z) upon the request of any such Sponsor Stockholder, the Company shall increase the number of Registrable Securities registered under such Shelf Registration Statement by the amount requested by such Sponsor Stockholder (or, in the event that no Shelf Registration Statement is effective at the time of such request, shall file and cause to become effective a Shelf Registration Statement covering such number of Registrable Securities), and this parenthetical shall apply to successive requests by Sponsor

 

13


Stockholders holding Registrable Securities) pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act no later than the first day on which such filing can be made with the SEC following the twelfth (12th) full calendar month after the consummation of an IPO and (ii) cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as soon as possible thereafter. To the extent that the Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the time of filing such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall designate such Shelf Registration Statement as an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to remain a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer during the period which such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective in accordance with this Agreement. The Company shall (i) promptly (but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective) give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders and Third Party Holders and (ii) subject to the first sentence of this Section 2.1(a), use its reasonable best efforts to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement as may specified by a Holder pursuant to, and in accordance with, its rights set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Continued Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by the Shelf Holders until the date as of which all Registrable Securities registered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold or have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities. Subject to the Company’s rights under Section 2.1(c), the Company shall not be deemed to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during such period if the Company voluntarily takes any action, or omits to take any commercially reasonable action, that would result in Shelf Holders not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement during such period, unless such action or omission is (x) a Shelf Suspension permitted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or (y) required by applicable law, rule or regulation.

(c) Suspension of Filing or Registration. If the Company shall furnish to the Holders, a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or equivalent senior executive of the Company, stating that the filing, effectiveness or continued use of the Shelf Registration Statement would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, then the Company shall have a period of not more than ninety (90) days, or such longer period as the Shelf Participating Sponsor Holders shall mutually consent to in writing, within which to delay the filing or effectiveness (but not the preparation) of such Shelf Registration Statement or, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement that has been declared effective, to suspend the use by Shelf Holders of such Shelf Registration Statement (in each case, a “Shelf Suspension”); provided, however, that, unless consented to in writing by the MD Holders and the SLP Holders in advance, the Company shall not be permitted to exercise more than two (2) Shelf Suspensions pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) and/or Section 2.2(c) and/or Demand Delays pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(ii) in the aggregate, or aggregate Shelf Suspensions pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) and/or Section 2.2(c) and/or Demand Delays pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(ii) of more than ninety (90) days, in each case, during any twelve-month (12) period.

Company, except (A) in the case of any Shelf Holder, for disclosure to any of such Shelf Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who are obligated to keep it confidential, (B) in the case of any Shelf Participating Sponsor Holder, for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners who have agreed to keep such information confidential, (C) in the case of any Temasek Holder, for disclosures to any Permitted Temasek Transferees who have agreed to keep such information confidential and (D) as required by law, rule, regulation or legal process. In the case of a Shelf Suspension that occurs after the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Shelf Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus for the permitted duration of such Shelf Suspension in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the certificate referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Shelf Holders upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, and (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement that has not been declared effective, shall promptly thereafter file the Shelf Registration Statement and use its reasonable best efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act and (ii) in the case of an effective Shelf Registration Statement, shall, prior to the expiration of the Shelf Suspension, (x) amend or supplement the Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and furnish to the Shelf Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Shelf Holders may reasonably request and (y) if applicable, cause any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to become effective. The Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Shelf Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by any of the MD Holders, the SLP Holders or Shelf Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.

Section 2.2 Holder Initiated Shelf Registration.

(a) Filing. Following an IPO and at any time after the Effectiveness Date, one or more of the Sponsor Holders may deliver a written request to the Company (the Sponsor Holders delivering such a request, the “Shelf Initiating Sponsor Holders”) to file a Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Registration Notice”), and subject to the Company’s rights under Section 2.2(c) and the limitations set forth in Section 2.3, the Company shall (i) promptly (but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective) give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders and Third Party Holders (which such notice will include the applicable Shelf Percentage) and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to file as soon as possible with the SEC (and, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Shelf Initiating Sponsor Holder, in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after the receipt of such Shelf Registration Notice) and cause to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible a Shelf Registration Statement (which shall be designated by the Company as an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if the Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the time of filing such Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC) as will permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Shelf Initiating Sponsor Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such Shelf Registration Notice (such portion,

 

15


the “Shelf Request”), together with (x) all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such demand as are specified in a written demand received by the Company within five (5) days after such written notice is given (subject to the Priority Sell-Down, such amount not in any event to exceed the Shelf Percentage of the total Registrable Securities held by such Holder as of the date of such written notice) and (y) all or such portion of the shares of any Third Party Holder that joins in such demand pursuant to its contractual rights to so participate (each such Third Party Holder, a “Third Party Shelf Holder”) (such amount not in any event to exceed the Shelf Percentage of the total Registrable Securities held by such Third Party Shelf Holder as of the date of such written notice); provided, however, that if a Shelf Registration Notice is delivered prior to the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall not be obligated to file (but shall be obligated to prepare) such Shelf Registration Statement prior to the Effectiveness Date; and provided, further, however, that if the Company is permitted by applicable law, rule or regulation to add selling stockholders to a Shelf Registration Statement without filing a post-effective amendment, a Holder may request the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities (subject to the Priority Sell-Down, such amount not in any event to exceed the Shelf Percentage of the total Registrable Securities held by such Holder) in such Shelf Registration Statement at any time or from time to time, and the Company shall add such Registrable Securities to the Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable, and such Holder shall be deemed a Shelf Holder. Any such request to file a Shelf Registration Statement shall not be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 2.4, a Demand Registration and shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.4(e). If, on the date of any such demand, the Company does not qualify to file a Shelf Registration Statement, then the provisions of Section 2.4 hereof shall apply instead of this Section 2.2. In no event shall the Company be required to file, and maintain effectiveness pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of, more than one Shelf Registration Statement at any one time pursuant to Section 2.1 and/or this Section 2.2. To the extent the Company is eligible under the relevant provisions of Rule 430B under the Securities Act, the Company shall include in such Shelf Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the Holders) in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.

(b) Continued Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by the Shelf Holders until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities registered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) such shorter period as the Shelf Initiating Sponsor Holders and any other Shelf Participating Sponsor Holders may mutually determine (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”). Subject to the Company’s rights under Section 2.2(c), the Company shall not be deemed to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Period if the Company voluntarily takes any action, or omits to take any commercially reasonable action, that would result in Shelf Holders not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf Period, unless such action or omission is (x) a Shelf Suspension permitted pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or (y) required by applicable law, rule or regulation.

 

16

The Company shall immediately notify the Shelf Holders upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, and (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement that has not been declared effective, shall promptly thereafter file the Shelf Registration Statement and use its reasonable best efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act and (ii) in the case of an effective Shelf Registration Statement, shall, prior to the expiration of the Shelf Suspension, (x) amend or supplement the Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and furnish to the Shelf Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Shelf Holders may reasonably request and (y) if applicable, cause any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to become effective. The Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Shelf Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by any Shelf Participating Sponsor Holder.

The Shelf Participating Sponsor Holders shall cooperate with the Company in the negotiation of such underwriting agreement and shall give consideration to the reasonable suggestions of the Company regarding the form thereof. Such underwriting agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of the Shelf Holders and Third Party Shelf Holders party thereto as are customarily made by issuers to selling stockholders in secondary underwritten public offerings. No Shelf Holder or Third Party Shelf Holder shall be entitled to participate in an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down in accordance with this Section 2.3 unless such Shelf Holder or Third Party Shelf Holder, as the case may be, completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting agreement. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder that initiated the applicable Underwritten Shelf Take-Down in connection with such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (to the extent not paid or reimbursed by Company) shall be borne on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities being sold by each of the Shelf Holders, Third Party Shelf Holders and/or the Company in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down.

(c) Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs.

(i) If the plan of distribution set forth in any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice includes a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other substantial marketing effort by the Company and one or more underwriters, in each case, over a period expected to exceed 48 hours (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), promptly upon delivery of such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days thereafter), the Company shall promptly deliver a written notice (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”) of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to all Shelf Holders of Registrable Securities under such Shelf Registration Statement (other than the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated the applicable Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down), and, in each case subject to Section 2.3(c)(ii) and Section 2.10(c), the Company shall include in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down all such Registrable Securities of such Shelf Holders and Third Party Shelf Holders that are registered on such Shelf Registration Statement for which the Company has received written requests, which requests must specify the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities of such Holder to be offered and sold pursuant to such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, for inclusion therein within two (2) Business Days after the date that such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice has been delivered. Notwithstanding the delivery of any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms and conditions of any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be at the sole discretion of the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated the applicable Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down.

(ii) The right of any Shelf Holders and/or Third Party Shelf Holder to participate in a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be conditioned upon such Shelf Holder’s or Third Party Shelf Holder’s, as the case may be, compliance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3(b) and this Section 2.3(c)(ii). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities included in a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall advise the Company and the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated the applicable Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that the number of securities requested to be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the Company shall so advise all Shelf Holders and Third Party Shelf Holders of Registrable Securities that have requested to participate in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (other than the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated the applicable Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down), and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (1) first, shall be allocated pro rata among the Shelf Holders that have requested to participate in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Shelf Holder (provided, that any securities thereby allocated to such a Shelf Holder that exceed such Shelf Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Shelf Holders in like manner), (2) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (1) have been included in such registration, the number of securities that the

 

19


Company proposes to include in such registration that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect and (3) third, and only if all of the securities referred to in clause (2) have been included in such registration, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such registration (including those of any Third Party Shelf Holder) that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be subject to the Priority Sell-Down. No Registrable Securities excluded from a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down by reason of the managing underwriter’s or underwriters’ marketing limitation shall be included in such underwritten offering.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) each Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 2.4, a Demand Registration effected by the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder that initiated such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.4(e) and (y) a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down must reasonably be anticipated to result in a net aggregate offering price (after deduction of underwriter commissions and offering expenses) of at least $100,000,000 (or such lesser amount constituting all remaining Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder that initiated such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down).

(d) Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs.

(i) If the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated the applicable Underwritten Shelf Take-Down intend to effect a plan of distribution pursuant to an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that does not constitute a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (a “Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), such Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders shall provide an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice (a “Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”) of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to the Company and, to the extent there are any Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holders that may be permitted to participate in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the Company shall immediately provide a copy of such notice to each Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holder, in each case, as far in advance of the pricing of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down as possible. Each Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice shall set forth (1) the total number of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (2) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (3) the fraction, expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of Registrable Securities anticipated to be sold by the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated the applicable Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down by the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders (the “Shelf Take-Down Percentage”), (4) to the extent there are any Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holders that may be permitted to participate in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf

Take-Down, an invitation to each Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holder who is a Shelf Holder of Registrable Securities under such Shelf Registration Statement to elect to include, on the same terms and conditions as the applicable Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, Registrable Securities held by such Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holder (subject to the Priority Sell-Down, such amount not in any event to exceed the Shelf Take-Down Percentage of the total Registrable Securities held by such Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holder) and (5) to the extent there are any Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holders that may be permitted to participate in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the action or actions required (including the timing thereof, which shall be reasonable in light of the circumstances applicable to such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) to be taken by such Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holders in connection with such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down should any such Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holder elect to participate in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down. Subject to Section 2.3(c)(ii) and Section 2.10(c), the Company shall include in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down all such Registrable Securities of such electing Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holders that are registered on such Shelf Registration Statement for which the Company has received written requests, which requests must specify the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities of such Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holder to be offered and sold pursuant to such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, for inclusion therein within the time period specified in the applicable Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice (which time period shall be as far in advance of the pricing of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down as the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders shall determine is practicable in light of the circumstances applicable to such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) (the “Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Election Period”). Notwithstanding the delivery of any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms and conditions of any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be at the sole discretion of the applicable Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated the applicable Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down.

(ii) In the case of a Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down initiated by an Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder, in each such case, the right of any Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holder to participate in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be conditioned upon such Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holder’s compliance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3(b) and this Section 2.3(d)(ii). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities included in a Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall advise the Company and the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated the applicable Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that the number of securities requested to be included in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a

 

21


significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the Company shall so advise the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that have initiated such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and, any other Sponsor Holders and the Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holders that have the right to, and have, requested to participate in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in such Non- Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be allocated pro rata among the Shelf-Take Down Initiating Sponsor Holders that have initiated such Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down and the Eligible Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Holders that have the right to, and have, provided the Company written requests to participate in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down within the Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Election Period based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be subject to the Priority Sell-Down.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in the event that an Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder that initiated a Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down abandons or terminates such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, neither such Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder nor any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to initiate a Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down for a period of forty five (45) days following such abandonment or termination and (y) no Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 2.4, a Demand Registration and/or subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.4(e).

Section 2.4 Demand Registration.

(a) Demand for Registration. Following an IPO, if the Company shall receive from one or more of the Sponsor Holders (such Sponsor Holders, the “Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders”) a written demand that the Company effect any registration (a “Demand Registration”, which term shall also include a demand for a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down pursuant to Section 2.3(c), but shall not include a demand for a Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) of Registrable Securities held by such Sponsor Holders having a reasonably anticipated net aggregate offering price (after deduction of underwriter commissions and offering expenses) of at least $100,000,000 (or such lesser amount constituting all remaining Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration), the Company will:

(i) promptly (but in any event within ten (10) days after the date a Registration Statement for such Demand Registration is initially filed) give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and

(ii) use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration as soon as practicable as will permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such demand, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other

 

22


Holders joining in such demand as are specified in a written demand received by the Company within five (5) days after such written notice is given; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any Registration Statement or other disclosure document pursuant to this Section 2.4 (but shall be obligated to continue to prepare such Registration Statement or other disclosure document) if the Company shall furnish to the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders and any other Sponsor Holder participating in such Demand Registration (collectively, the “Demand Participating Sponsor Holders”) a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or equivalent senior executive of the Company, stating that the filing or effectiveness of such Registration Statement would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, in which case the Company shall have an additional period (each, a “Demand Delay”) of not more than ninety (90) days (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed upon by the Demand Participating Sponsor Holders) within which to file such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not exercise more than two (2) Demand Delays pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(ii) and/or Shelf Suspensions pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and/or Section 2.2(c) in the aggregate, or aggregate Demand Delays pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(ii) and/or Shelf Suspensions pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and/or Section 2.2(c) of more than ninety (90) days, in each case, during any twelve-month (12) month period. Each Holder shall keep confidential the fact that a Demand Delay is in effect, the certificate referred to above and its contents for the permitted duration of the Demand Delay or until otherwise notified by the Company, except (A) in the case of any Holder, for disclosure to such Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, (B) in the case of the Sponsor Holders, for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners who have agreed to keep such information confidential, (C) in the case of any Temasek Holder, for disclosures to any Permitted Temasek Transferees who have agreed to keep such information confidential and (D) as required by law, rule, regulation or legal process. In the case of a Demand Delay, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus for the permitted duration of such Demand Delay in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the certificate referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Demand Delay, and (i) in the case of a Registration Statement that has not been declared effective, shall promptly thereafter file the Registration Statement and use its reasonable best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act and (ii) in the case of an effective Registration Statement, shall amend or supplement the Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any material misstatement or omission prior to the expiration of the Demand Delay and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to the Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Demand Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by any Demand Participating Sponsor Holders.

 

23


(b) Effective Registration. The Company shall be deemed to have effected a Demand Registration if the Registration Statement pursuant to such Demand Registration is declared effective by the SEC and remains effective until (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities registered by such Registration Statement pursuant to such Demand Registration have been sold and (ii) such shorter period, if such Registration Statement relates to an underwritten offering, as the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders and the underwriter may mutually determine or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution relating thereto (the applicable period, the “Demand Period”); provided, that no Demand Registration shall be deemed to have been effected if (A) during the Demand Period such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court, (B) the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied other than by reason of a wrongful act, misrepresentation or breach of such applicable underwriting agreement by a participating Holder and/or (C) the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration have terminated, withdrawn and/or delayed any Demand Registration initiated by them pursuant to, and in accordance with Section 2.4(d) and such termination, withdrawal and/or delay is made (1) (x) following the occurrence of a material adverse change of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (y) if, as of the date of such termination withdrawal or delay, the per share stock price of Shares has declined by ten percent (10%) or more as compared to the closing per share stock price of Shares on the date of the delivery of the written notice requesting such Demand Registration or (z) following the discovery by the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration of material adverse or undisclosed information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries of which such Person did not have prior actual knowledge or (2) because the registration would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure.

(c) Underwriting. If the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their demand by means of an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as part of their demand made pursuant to this Section 2.4, and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.4(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering to the extent provided herein. The Company shall, together with all participating Holders and participating Third Party Holders of Registrable Securities of the Company (if any) proposing (and permitted) to distribute their securities through such underwritten offering, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form (containing such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type) with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected by the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration. The Demand Participating Sponsor Holders shall cooperate with the Company in the negotiation of such underwriting agreement and shall give consideration to the reasonable suggestions of the Company regarding the form thereof. Such underwriting agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of the Holders and Third Party Holders party thereto as are customarily made by issuers to selling stockholders in secondary underwritten public offerings. No Holder or Third Party Holder shall be entitled to participate in such underwritten offering unless such Holder or

 

24


Third Party Holder, as the case may be, completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting agreement. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration in connection with such underwritten offering (to the extent not paid or reimbursed by Company) shall be borne on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities being sold by each of the Holders, Third Party Holders and/or the Company in such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything other provision of this Section 2.4, and subject to the “cutback” provisions in Section 2.5(b) (only if the applicable registration is effected in connection with an IPO), if the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration shall advise the Company and the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration that the number of securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the Company shall so advise all Holders and Third Party Holders of Registrable Securities that have requested to participate in such Demand Registration (other than the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration), and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in such Demand Registration (1) first, shall be allocated pro rata among the Demand Participating Sponsor Holders, Management Holders and the Temasek Holders that have requested to participate in such Demand Registration based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Demand Participating Sponsor Holder, Management Holder and Temasek Holder (provided, that any securities thereby allocated to such a Demand Participating Sponsor Holder, Management Holder or Temasek Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Demand Participating Sponsor Holders, Management Holders and the Temasek Holders in like manner), (2) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (1) have been included in such Demand Registration, pro rata among the other Holders that have requested to participate in such Demand Registration based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder (provided, that any securities thereby allocated to such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner), (3) third, and only if all of the securities referred to in clause (2) have been included in such Demand Registration, the number of securities that the Company proposes to include in such Demand Registration that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect and (4) fourth, and only if all of the securities referred to in clause (3) have been included in such Demand Registration, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such Demand Registration (including those of any Third Party Holder) that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in such Demand Registration shall be subject to the Priority Sell-Down. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwritten offering by reason of the managing underwriter’s or underwriters’ marketing limitation shall be included in such Demand Registration. Notwithstanding the delivery of any notice of a Demand Registration, all determinations as to whether to complete any Demand Registration and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms and conditions of any Demand Registration shall be at the sole discretion of the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration.

 

25


Each of the Holders agrees to reasonably cooperate with each of the other Holders to establish notice, delivery and documentation procedures and measures to facilitate such other Holder’s participation in future potential Demand Registrations pursuant this Section 2.4.

(d) Right to Terminate, Withdraw and/or Delay Registration. The Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration shall have the right to terminate, withdraw and/or delay any Demand Registration initiated by them under this Section 2.4 prior to the effectiveness of such Demand Registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration and, thereupon, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities under this Section 2.4 in connection with such Demand Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.6), and in the case of a determination to delay registration, the Company shall delay registering all Registrable Securities under this Section 2.4, for the same period as the delay in registering the Registrable Securities proposed to be included by the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) none of the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders shall have any liability or obligation to any other Holders following their determination to terminate, withdraw and/or delay any Demand Registration initiated by them under Section 2.3 and (ii) none of the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated the applicable Demand Registration shall have any liability or obligation to any other Holder following their determination to terminate, withdraw and/or delay any Demand Registration initiated by them under this Section 2.4.

(e) Restrictions on Demand Registrations and Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs. Notwithstanding the rights and obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.4, in no event shall the Company be obligated to take any action to effect:

(i) more than seven (7) Demand Registrations initiated by the MD Holders and/or the MSD Partners Holders, together with their respective designated transferees or successors pursuant to Section 2.10(a), excluding (A) Demand Registrations that are not deemed to be effected pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and (B) Demand Registrations that are abandoned by the MD Holders, the MSD Partners Holders and/or their respective designated transferees or successors pursuant to Section 2.10(a) and for which the pro rata portion (based on the total number of securities such initiating Holder sought to register, as compared to the total number of securities included on the applicable Registration Statement) of the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Demand Registration are reimbursed by such Holders;

(ii) more than five (5) Demand Registrations initiated by the SLP Holders, together with their designated transferees or successors pursuant to Section 2.10(a), excluding (A) Demand Registrations that are not deemed to be effected pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and (B) Demand Registrations that are abandoned by the SLP Holders and/or their designated transferees or successors pursuant to Section 2.10(a) and for which the pro rata portion (based on the total number of securities such initiating Holder sought to register, as compared to the total number of securities included on the applicable Registration Statement) of the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Demand Registration are reimbursed by such Holders;

(ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification under state securities laws or other compliance), and in any underwritten offering involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests made within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company by any Holder or Holders, except as set forth in Section 2.5(b) below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.5 shall not apply in respect of any Holder (other than a Sponsor Holder or Management Holder) in an IPO, unless (x) one or more of the Sponsor Holders elect to participate in such registration for such IPO or (y) the MD Holders and the SLP Holders, in their sole discretion, provide advanced written consent to the Company to include the Registrable Securities of any one or more other Holders specified in such consent in a registration for such IPO pursuant to this Section 2.5. For the avoidance of doubt, the inclusion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder in such registration pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall in all cases be subject to Section 2.10(c).

 

27


(b) Underwriting. If the Company intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its registration by means of an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering to the extent provided herein. The Company shall, together with all participating Holders and participating Third Party Holders of Registrable Securities of the Company (if any) proposing (and permitted) to distribute their securities through such underwritten offering, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form (containing such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type) with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.

28


requesting Holders in like manner) and (4) fourth, and only if all of the Registrable Securities referred to in clause (3) have been included in such registration, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such registration (including those of any Third Party Holder) that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect in such registration; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if the managing underwriter or underwriters of the IPO shall advise the Company and the Sponsor Holders that have requested to participate in the IPO that the sale of Shares by Management Holders in the IPO would be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect upon the price, timing or distribution of the IPO, then the Management Holders shall not have the right to sell their Shares in the IPO) and (B) the shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in such registration shall be subject to the Priority Sell-Down. No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter’s or underwriters’ marketing limitation shall be included in such registration.

(c) Right to Terminate, Withdraw and/or Delay Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate, withdraw and/or delay any registration initiated by it (and not a Holder) under this Section 2.5 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination to terminate or withdraw any registration, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities under this Section 2.5 in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.6), without prejudice, however, to the rights of the Sponsor Holders who had elected to participate in such registration to request that such registration be effected as a Demand Registration under Section 2.4, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registration, in the absence of a request by the Sponsor Holders who had elected to participate in such registration that such registration be effected as a Demand Registration under Section 2.4, the Company shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities under this Section 2.5, for the same period as the delay in registering the other equity securities covered by such registration.

Section 2.6 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay stock transfer taxes or underwriters’ discounts or selling commissions relating to Registrable Securities.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, each of such Holder’s respective direct or indirect partners, managers, members or stockholders and each of such partner’s, manager’s, member’s or stockholder’s partners, managers, members or stockholders and, with respect to all of the foregoing Persons, each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, trustees, beneficiaries or agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Persons within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any registration, qualification, compliance or sale effected pursuant to this Article II, and each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls any underwriter, of the Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder (collectively, the “Company Indemnifiable Persons”), against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state law arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, offering circular, Free Writing Prospectus or other similar document (including any related Registration Statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification, compliance or sale effected pursuant to this Article II, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any such registration, qualification, compliance or sale, (iii) any failure to register or qualify Registrable Securities in any state where the Company or its agents have affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing (including pursuant to Section 2.7(m)) that the Company (the undertaking of any underwriter being attributed to the Company) will undertake such registration or qualification on behalf of the Holders of such Registrable Securities (provided, that in such instance the Company shall not be so liable if it has undertaken its reasonable best efforts to so register or

 

34


qualify such Registrable Securities) or (iv) any actions or inactions or proceedings in respect of the foregoing whether or not any such Company Indemnifiable Person is a party thereto, and the Company will reimburse, as incurred, each such Company Indemnifiable Person for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Company Indemnifiable Person.

(b) Each Holder (if Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder are included in such registration, qualification, compliance or sale pursuant to this Article II) agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company, each of its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, Affiliates and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls any underwriter, of the Company’s securities covered by such a Registration Statement, and each other Holder, each of such other Holder’s respective direct or indirect partners, members or stockholders and each of such partner’s, member’s or stockholder’s partners, members or stockholders and, with respect to all of the foregoing Persons, each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, trustees or agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Persons within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Holder Indemnifiable Persons”), against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, offering circular, Free Writing Prospectus or other similar document (including any related Registration Statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification, compliance or sale effected pursuant to this Article II, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse, as incurred, each such Holder Indemnifiable Persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) was made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, Free Writing Prospectus or other document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein that was not corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting the claim; provided, however, that the aggregate liability of each Holder hereunder shall be limited to the gross proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Each Company Indemnifiable Person and Holder Indemnifiable Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party required to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim as to which indemnification may be sought promptly after such Indemnified Party has

 

35


actual knowledge thereof (and in any event, within fifteen (15) Business Days) and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnifying Party’s expense if (i) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party (based upon the advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom (in which case, if the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that the Indemnified Party elects to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom on behalf of the Indemnified Party); provided, further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article II, except to the extent that such failure to give notice materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation. An Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, may, without the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) includes as a term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party; provided, that any sums payable in connection with such settlement are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. If such defense is not assumed by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 2.8(c), in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or Parties, (y) an Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other Indemnified Parties, or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an Indemnified Party) between such Indemnified Party and the other Indemnified Parties, in each of which cases the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

(d) If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 2.8(a) or Section 2.8(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of any claims, losses, damages and liabilities referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claims, losses, damages and liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party or Parties, on the other hand, in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such claims, losses, damages and liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with any Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Company, the relative fault of the Indemnifying

 

36


Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.8(d). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the claims, losses, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 2.8(a) and/or Section 2.8(b) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.8(d), in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company, any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the gross proceeds (less underwriting discounts and commissions) received by such Holder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation less any amount paid by such Holders pursuant to Section 2.8(b). If indemnification is available under this Section 2.8, the Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify each Indemnified Party to the full extent provided in Section 2.8(a) and Section 2.8(b) without regard to the provisions of this Section 2.8(d).

(e) The indemnities provided in this Section 2.8 (i) shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by such Holder and (ii) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity or pursuant to any other agreement.

Section 2.9 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall promptly furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Article II.

Section 2.10 Transfer of Registration Rights; Additional Holders; General Transfer Restrictions on Exercise of Rights.

(a) The rights of a Holder contained in Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4 and/or Section 2.5 hereof to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities of such Holder may be assigned in respect of those Registrable Securities (i) conveyed by a Sponsor Holder to its Permitted Transferees, (ii) conveyed by a Management Holder to its Permitted Transferees, (iii) conveyed by a Temasek Holder to a Permitted Temasek Transferee(s) and/or (iv) conveyed by any other Holder solely with the prior written consent of the Sponsor Holders; provided, that such transferee shall only be admitted as a party hereunder upon his, her or its execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement and the acceptance thereof by the Company, whereupon such Person will be treated as a Holder for all purposes of this Agreement, with the same rights,

 

37


benefits and obligations hereunder as the transferring Holder with respect to the transferred Registrable Securities (except that if the transferee was a Holder prior to such transfer, such transferee shall have the same rights, benefits and obligations with respect to such transferred Registrable Securities as were applicable to Registrable Securities held by such transferee prior to such transfer). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, any registration rights or allocations provided under this Agreement to (w) a MD Holder may be assigned without limitation by such MD Holder to any other MD Holder, (x) a MSD Partners Holder may be assigned without limitation by such MSD Partners Holder to any other MSD Partners Holder, (y) a SLP Holder may be assigned without limitation by such SLP Holder to any other SLP Holder and (z) a Temasek Holder may be assigned without limitation by such Temasek Holder to any other Temasek Holder.

(b) An employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or other Person who receives Registrable Securities from the Company may only be conferred the rights of a Holder contained in Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4 and/or Section 2.5 hereof to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities of such Holder (i) with the prior written consent of the Sponsor Holders and (ii) upon his, her or its execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement and the acceptance thereof by the Company, whereupon such person will be admitted as a party hereunder as a Non-Sponsor Holder and treated as a Non-Sponsor Holder for all purposes of this Agreement, with the same rights, benefits and obligations hereunder as the Non-Sponsor Holders.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) each of the Sponsor Holders acknowledges and agrees that any exercise of the rights contained in Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4 and/or Section 2.5 hereof are subject to any limitations or restrictions that such Sponsor Holders have agreed to with the Company pursuant to any other binding contractual commitment, if any, in all respects, (ii) each of the Temasek Holders acknowledges and agrees that any exercise of the rights contained in Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4 and/or Section 2.5 hereof are subject to any limitations or restrictions that such Temasek Holders have agreed to with the Company pursuant to any other binding contractual commitment, if any, in all respects and (iii) each of the Management Holders acknowledges and agrees that any exercise of the rights contained in Section 2.2, Section 2.4 and/or Section 2.5 hereof are subject to any limitations or restrictions that such Management Holders have agreed to with the Company pursuant to any other binding contractual commitment, if any, in all respects.

Section 2.11 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain, and hereby waives any right to seek, an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Article II.

Section 2.12 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the MD Holders and the SLP Holders, enter into any agreement with respect to its Securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders by this Agreement, including by allowing any holder or prospective holder of any Securities of the Company (a) to include any Securities in any registration filed under Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4 and/or Section 2.5 hereof, unless, in each case, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective

 

38


holder may include such Securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such Securities will not diminish the amount of Registrable Securities that are included in such registration or (b) to require the Company to effect a registration pursuant to demand registration rights.

Section 2.13 Reporting. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the reasonable request of any of the Sponsor Holders, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act), and it will take such further action as any Sponsor Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders, following the IPO, to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar or analogous rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC, including making and keeping current public information available, within the meaning of Rule 144 (or any similar or analogous rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC) promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Upon the reasonable request of a Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

Section 2.14 Blackout Periods.

(a) IPO Blackout Period. If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in an underwritten offering, each of the Company and each Holder agrees, and the Company agrees to cause its and each of Dell’s and EMC’s directors and executive officers to agree, during the period beginning seven (7) days before the effective date of a Registration Statement of the Company filed in connection with an IPO, and ending one hundred eighty (180) days (subject to any customary “booster shot” extensions) thereafter, not to take or commit to take any actions that are, or would constitute, a Blackout Period Restriction.

(b) Other Underwritten Offerings Blackout Periods. If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in an underwritten offering, or if requested by the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders in the case of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down pursuant to Section 2.3 or the Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders in the case of an underwritten Demand Registration pursuant Section 2.4, subject to Section 2.14(c), each of the Company and each Holder (other than the Temasek Holders and, solely from and after the two (2) year anniversary of an IPO, a Sub 10% Sponsor Holder that is not an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case provided any such Holder is not participating in such offering) agrees, and the Company agrees to cause its and each of Dell’s and EMC’s directors and executive officers to agree, during the period beginning seven (7) days before the effective date of a Registration Statement of the Company filed in connection with an underwritten offering subsequent to the IPO (other than any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) (or, if

 

39


later in the case of a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the date the underwriting agreement for such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down is entered into) and ending ninety (90) days (subject to any customary “booster shot” extensions) thereafter (or, if applicable, such lesser period as may be agreed by the managing underwriter or underwriters in writing with the applicable Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or Demand Initiating Sponsor Holders that initiated an underwritten Demand Registration, as the case may be), not to take or commit to take any actions that are, or would constitute, a Blackout Period Restriction.

(c) Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Blackout Periods. If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in a Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, or if requested by the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, each of the Company and each Holder (other than the Temasek Holders and, solely from and after the two (2) year anniversary of an IPO, a Sub 10% Sponsor Holder that is not an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case provided any such Holder is not participating in such offering) agrees, and the Company agrees to cause its and each of Dell’s and EMC’s directors and executive officers to agree, during the period beginning on the date that the Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice has been provided to the Company (it being understood the Company shall immediately following receipt of a Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice notify all Holders and such other Persons that are subject to this Section 2.14 of their obligations herein) and ending on the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after the Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down contemplated by such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice is completed and (B) the date that the Company receives notice from the applicable Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holders that initiated such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that it is abandoning or terminating such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, not to take or commit to take any actions that are, or would constitute, a Blackout Period Restriction; provided, that the duration of the period contemplated in this Section 2.14(c) shall not exceed forty five (45) days (subject to any customary “booster shot” extensions).

(d) Certain Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.14(a), Section 2.14(b) and/or Section 2.14(c) to the contrary, (i) no Holder shall be subject to any Blackout Period Restriction for longer duration than that applicable to any directors and/or executive officers of the Company as required by the applicable managing underwriter or underwriters, (ii) no Sponsor Holder shall be subject to any Blackout Period Restrictions for longer duration than that applicable to any other Sponsor Holder (other than Sub 10% Sponsor Holders), (iii) no Sub 10% Sponsor Holder shall be subject to any Blackout Period Restrictions for longer duration than that applicable to any other Sub 10% Sponsor Holder, (iv) if any Sponsor Holder (other than a Sub 10% Sponsor Holder) is released from its Blackout Period Restrictions, the other Sponsor Holders shall be simultaneously released, on a pro rata basis, from such Blackout Period Restrictions and (v) if any Sub 10% Sponsor Holder is released from its Blackout Period Restrictions, the other Sub 10% Sponsor Holders shall be simultaneously released, on a pro rata basis, from such Blackout Period Restrictions, and in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (iv) and (v), it being understood that each of the Company and the Sponsor Holder initially released from its Blackout Period Restrictions must immediately notify in writing the other applicable Sponsor Holders thereof. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.14 to the contrary, during the periods described in this Section 2.14 the Company may effect a Special Registration.

 

40


(e) Certain Matters. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each holder of restricted securities of the Company which securities are the same as or similar to the Registrable Securities being registered, or any restricted securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities, an agreement not to effect any public sale or distribution of such securities during any such period referred to in this Section 2.14, except as part of any such registration, if permitted. Without limiting the foregoing (but subject to Section 2.12), if after the date hereof the Company grants any Person (other than a Holder) any rights to demand or participate in a registration, the Company agrees that the agreement with respect thereto shall include such Person’s agreement to comply with any Blackout Period Restrictions required by this Section 2.14 as if it were a Holder hereunder. If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters of any such underwritten offering, the Company and each Holder shall, and shall cause each other Person subject to the Blackout Period Restrictions referred to in this Section 2.14 to, execute a customary agreement reflecting its agreement set forth in this Section 2.14. The Company shall impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Securities subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the period referenced above.

Section 2.15 Clear Market. With respect to any underwritten offerings of Registrable Securities of the Sponsor Holders (each a “Sponsor Underwritten Offering”), the Company agrees not to effect (other than pursuant to the registration applicable to such Sponsor Underwritten Offering, pursuant to a Special Registration or pursuant to the exercise by any other Sponsor Holder of any of its rights under Section 2.2, Section 2.3 or Section 2.4) any public sale or distribution, or to file any Registration Statement (other than pursuant to the Registration applicable to such Sponsor Underwritten Offering, pursuant to a Special Registration or pursuant to the exercise by any other Sponsor Holder of any of its rights under Section 2.2, Section 2.3 or Section 2.4) covering any of its Securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Securities, during the period not to exceed ten (10) days prior and (i) one hundred eighty (180) days after such Sponsor Underwritten Offering in the event such offering is an IPO or (y) ninety (90) days after any other Sponsor Underwritten Offering.

Section 2.16 Discontinuance of Distributions and Use of Prospectus and Free Writing Prospectus. Each Holder of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement agrees that, upon delivery of any notice by the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.7(h)(iii), (iv), or (v) or Section 2.7(i), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until (a) such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.7(i), (b) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, may be resumed, (c) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company of the termination, expiration or cessation of such order or suspension referenced in Section 2.7(h)(iii) or Section 2.7(h)(v) or (d) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the representations and warranties of the Company in such applicable underwriting agreement are true and correct in all material respects. If so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of delivery of such notice. In the event the Company

 

41


shall give any such notice, the period during which the applicable Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement either receives the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.7(i) or is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus may be resumed.

ARTICLE III

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 3.1 Term. This Agreement shall terminate (a) with respect to all Holders, with the prior written consent of the MD Holders and the SLP Holders or (b) with respect to any Holder, at such time as such Holder, together with its Affiliates, does not beneficially own any Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 2.8, Section 2.13 and all of this Article III shall survive any such termination.

Section 3.2 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective solely upon (i) execution of this Agreement by the Company and each of the Sponsor Stockholders and (ii) the consummation of the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement). In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason without the Closing having occurred, this Agreement shall not become effective, shall be void ab initio and the Original Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without amendment or restatement.

Section 3.3 Further Assurances. From time to time, at the reasonable request of the MD Holders or the SLP Holders and without further consideration, each party hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

42


deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process, law (including under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), exchange listing requirements, regulation, legal or judicial process or audit, inquiries by a regulator, bank examiner or self-regulatory organization, pursuant to mandatory professional ethics rules or this Agreement (but only to the extent so required and after notifying the Company to the extent reasonably practicable and requesting confidential treatment) or (e) in connection with any litigation among the parties hereto.

Section 3.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case, written or oral, of any and every nature with respect thereto. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any document executed or delivered to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational and governing documents) of any company, this Agreement shall govern as among the parties hereto.

Section 3.6 Specific Performance. Subject to Section 2.11, the parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that, in the event of breach by any party, damages would not be an adequate remedy and each of the other parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. The parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief.

Section 3.7 Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

Section 3.8 Submissions to Jurisdictions; WAIVER OF JURY TRIALS.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably acknowledges and consents that any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to and accepts with regard to any such action or proceeding, for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware). Each party hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery

 

43


in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) lacks jurisdiction over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party.

(b) Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any legal action or proceeding brought with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party, at its address for notices as provided in Section 3.14 of this Agreement, such service to become effective ten (10) days after such mailing. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other documents contemplated hereby, that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Subject to Section 3.8(c), the foregoing shall not limit the rights of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except as provided above and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the respective parties to this Agreement.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right it may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to commence by publication any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations under or relating to this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives the objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) is not a convenient forum for any such suit, action or proceeding.

(d) The parties hereto agree that any judgment obtained by any party hereto or its successors or assigns in any action, suit or proceeding referred to above may, in the discretion of such party (or its successors or assigns), be enforced in any jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(e) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF

 

44


ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 3.8(e).

Section 3.9 Obligations. All obligations hereunder shall be satisfied in full without set-off, defense or counterclaim.

45


Section 3.11 Amendment and Waiver.

(a) Any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to or of any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall require the prior written approval of the MD Holders and the SLP Holders; provided, that if the express terms of any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver disproportionately and adversely affects a Holder (other than the Sponsor Holders) or an MSD Partners Holder or Temasek Holder relative to the SLP Holders, it shall require the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by such affected Holders and their designated transferees or successors pursuant to Section 2.10(a) in the aggregate; provided, that the immediately preceding proviso shall not apply with respect to (i) in the case of Non-Sponsor Holders, amendments that do not apply to Non-Sponsor Holders, in the case of MSD Partners Holders, amendments that do not apply to MSD Partners Holders, and in the case of the Temasek Holders, amendments that do not apply to the Temasek Holders or (ii) amendments to reflect the addition of a new third-party holding Registrable Securities (other than (x) a designated transferee of Registrable Securities as a party hereto pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or (y) an additional Non-Sponsor Holder as a party hereto pursuant to Section 2.10(b)).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any addition of (i) a designated transferee of Registrable Securities as a party hereto pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or (ii) an Other Holder as or a recipient of Securities as a party hereto pursuant to Section 2.10(b) in each case shall not constitute an amendment hereto and the applicable Joinder Agreement need be executed only by the Company and such transferee, recipient or additional Non-Sponsor Holder.

(c) Any failure by any party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed a waiver of such provision or any other provisions hereof. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 3.12 Binding Effect. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties’ successors and permitted assigns.

Section 3.13 Third Party Beneficiaries.

DELL TECHNOLOGIES INC.

Compensation Program for Independent Non-Employee Directors

Each independent non-employee member of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Dell Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) shall be entitled to the payments described below while serving as a director on the Board. Other directors of the Board shall receive no compensation for their Board service. Any new director compensation policies enacted from time to time are deemed to be incorporated herein upon their effective date.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 7, 2016

ANNUAL COMPENSATION:

 

  Annual Board Retainer: $300,000, payable as follows:

 

    $75,000 in cash (the “Annual Cash Retainer”), unless the independent non-employee director (hereafter, a “director”) makes a timely election to receive all or a portion of the Annual Cash Retainer in the form of deferred stock units (“DSUs”) (subject to the split and limitations described below), and

 

    $225,000 (the “Annual Stock Retainer”), paid in:

 

    25% options to purchase shares of Class C common stock (“Class C Shares”) of the Company (such options, “Class C Options”);

 

    25% options to purchase shares of Class V common stock of the Company (“Class V Shares” and together with Class C Shares, “Shares”) (such options, “Class V Options” and together with Class C Options, “Options”);

 

    25% restricted stock units that settle in Class C Shares (“CDTAs”); and

 

    25% restricted stock units that settle in Class V Shares (“VDTAs” together with the CDTAs, “DTAs”);

 

    Unless the director makes a timely election to receive all or a portion of the CDTAs as DSUs over Class C Shares or all or a portion of the VDTAs as DSUs over Class V Shares (subject to the limitations described below).

 

  Committee Chair Retainers: $25,000, all payable in cash unless the director makes a timely election to receive such payment in DSUs (subject to the split and limitations described below).

 

  Sign-On Equity Grant: $1,000,000, paid in 50% Class C Options and 50% Class V Options.

 

  All of the foregoing equity-based awards will be granted under the Dell Technologies Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Plan”), with the Sign-On Equity Grant being made as soon as practicable after the director becomes a board member and all other awards being granted annually. The Sign-On Equity Grant vests annually in equal installments over four years from the date of grant with full acceleration of outstanding options subject thereto in event of death, permanent disability, termination without Cause or a Change in Control. The other equity awards are subject to vesting as described below.

 

  DSU Split. All DSU grants made as a result of any deferral election for either the Annual Cash Retainer or any Committee Chair Retainer will be split equally between DSUs over Class C Shares and DSUs over Class V Shares.


TIMING OF ELECTIONS:

 

  Generally: An election must be made prior to the beginning of the calendar year to which it relates.

 

  New directors: Each new director can make an election within 30 days after becoming a director, but this election will only apply to the portion of the Annual Board Retainer, Committee Chair Retainer (if applicable) or DTA grant earned after the date of the election.

 

  Once the calendar year to which an election relates commences, the election is irrevocable with respect to that year. A director may submit a new election for each subsequent calendar year prior to the beginning of that calendar year (and, if no new election is submitted, the current election will remain in effect for subsequent years as provided in the election form).

INDIVIDUAL COMPENSATION ELECTIONS:

 

  Directors may elect the form of payment of their compensation on an individual basis.

 

  Elections must be made in multiples as follows:

 

    Allocation of the Annual Cash Retainer between DSUs and cash must be made in multiples of 25%.

 

    Allocation of the DTA portion of the Annual Stock Retainer to DSUs must be made in multiples of 25%.

 

    Election to receive DSUs (in lieu of cash) for a Committee Chair Retainer must be made in multiples of 25%.

(rr) “Stock Appreciation Right” shall mean a stock appreciation right granted pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan.

(ss) “Stock Award” shall mean (i) an Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Other Stock-Based Award granted (or sold) pursuant to the Plan or (ii) a cash-denominated award, or portion thereof, under the 2012 LTIP that the Committee determines to settle in shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock.

(tt) “Stock Award Agreement” shall mean a written agreement between the Company and a holder of a Stock Award, executed by the Company, evidencing the terms and conditions of the Stock Award.

(uu) “Subsidiary” shall mean with respect to any Person, any entity of which (i) a majority of the total voting power of shares of stock or equivalent ownership interests entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote in the election of directors, managers, trustees or other members of the applicable governing body thereof is at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by that Person or one or more of the other Subsidiaries of that Person or a combination thereof, or (ii) if no such governing body exists at such entity, a majority of the total voting power of shares of stock or equivalent ownership interests of the entity is at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by that Person or one or more Subsidiaries of that Person or a combination thereof.

6


partnership, association or other similar business entity if such Person or Persons shall be allocated a majority of limited liability company, partnership, association or such other business entity gains or losses or shall be or control the managing member or general partner of such limited liability company, partnership, association or such other business entity.

Although any Sub-Plan may be designated a separate and independent plan from the Plan in order to comply with applicable local laws, the Absolute Share Limit and the other limits specified in Section 4(a) and Section 5 of the Plan shall apply in the aggregate to the Plan and any Sub-Plan adopted hereunder.

3. Administration by Committee.

(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which may delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof, and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, the Committee shall be composed exclusively of members who are independent directors in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s stock is listed. To the extent the Company deems it necessary to (i) comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (if the Board is not acting as the Committee under the Plan) or (ii) obtain the exception for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, as applicable, it is intended that each member of the Committee shall, at the time such member takes any action with respect to a Stock Award under the Plan that is intended to qualify for the exemptions provided by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, as applicable, be a Qualifying Director. However, the fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify as a Qualifying Director shall not invalidate any Stock Award granted by the Committee that is otherwise validly granted under the Plan.

(b) Stock Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by any entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines. The number of shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable, underlying such substitute awards shall be counted against the aggregate number of such shares available for Stock Awards under the Plan.

The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned (including, without limitation, Participants and their beneficiaries or successors). The Committee shall have the full power and authority to establish the terms and conditions of any Stock Award consistent with the provisions of the Plan and to waive any such terms and conditions at any time (including, without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting conditions).

 

7


(d) The Committee may delegate the authority to grant Stock Awards under the Plan to any employee or group of employees of the Company or an Affiliate; provided, that such delegation and grants are consistent with Applicable Law and guidelines established by the Board from time to time; and, provided, further, that the Committee may not delegate authority hereunder to (i) make awards to directors of the Company, (ii) make awards to employees who are officers of the Company or who are delegated authority to make awards under this Section 3(d), or (iii) interpret the Plan, any award or any Stock Award Agreement.

4. Shares Subject to the Plan and Participation.

(a) Available Shares. Subject to Section 10 of the Plan, (i) the total number of shares of Class C Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan is 75,000,000, which number is also the maximum number of shares for which ISOs may be granted, and (ii) the total number of shares of Class V Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan is 500,000 (such total number of shares under clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Absolute Share Limit”). The shares of Class C Common Stock and/or Class V Common Stock may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, shares held in the treasury of the Company, shares purchased on the open market or by private purchase or a combination of the foregoing. The issuance of shares or the payment of cash upon the exercise of a Stock Award or in consideration of the cancellation or termination of a Stock Award shall reduce the total number of shares available under the Plan, as applicable. Shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable, which are subject to Stock Awards which terminate or lapse without the payment of consideration may be granted again under the Plan, unless prohibited by Applicable Law.

(b) Participation. Employees, Consultants, non-employee directors and other service providers of the Company and its Affiliates shall be eligible to be selected to receive Stock Awards under the Plan; provided, that ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Company or any subsidiary corporation, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, of the Company.

5. General Limitations.

(a) Tenth Anniversary. No Stock Award may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Stock Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond such date.

(b) Stock Award Limitations for Participants who are not Non-Employee Members of the Board.

 

  (i) Subject to Section 10 of the Plan, grants of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan in respect of no more than (A) 10,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock, and (B) 500,000 shares of Class V Common Stock, in each case, may be made to any individual Participant who is not a non-employee member of the Board during any single fiscal year of the Company (for this purpose, if a Stock Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with an Option (such that the Stock Appreciation Right expires with respect to the number of shares for which the Option is exercised), only the shares of the same class of stock underlying the Option shall count against each limitation);

 

8


  (ii) Subject to Section 10 of the Plan, no more than (A) 3,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock, and (B) 500,000 shares of Class V Common Stock, in each case, may be issued in respect of Performance Compensation Awards denominated in such shares granted pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan to any individual Participant who is not a non-employee member of the Board for a single fiscal year of the Company during a Performance Period (or with respect to each single fiscal year in the event a Performance Period extends beyond a single fiscal year), or in the event such share-denominated Performance Compensation Award is paid in cash, other securities, other Stock Awards or other property, no more than the Fair Market Value of such shares on the last day of the Performance Period to which such Stock Award relates;

 

  (iii) The maximum amount that may be paid to any individual Participant who is not a non-employee member of the Board for a single fiscal year of the Company during a Performance Period (or with respect to each single fiscal year in the event a Performance Period extends beyond a single fiscal year) pursuant to a Performance Compensation Award denominated in cash (described in Section 9(a) of the Plan) shall not exceed 0.5% of the Company’s aggregate consolidated operating income in the fiscal year immediately preceding the date such Performance Compensation Award is granted.

(c) Stock Award Limitations for Participants who are Non-Employee Members of the Board. Except for the Initial Director Grant, subject to Section 10 of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Class C Common Stock and Class V Common Stock subject to Stock Awards granted during a single fiscal year of the Company to any non-employee member of the Board, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee member of the Board during the fiscal year, shall not, in each case, exceed $1,000,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Stock Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Stock Awards for financial reporting purposes and excluding, for this purpose, the value of any dividend equivalent payments paid pursuant to any Stock Award granted in a previous fiscal year).

6. Terms and Conditions of Options.

Options granted under the Plan shall be, as determined by the Committee, non-qualified or ISOs for federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by the related Stock Award Agreements, and shall be subject to the foregoing and the following terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent therewith, as the Committee shall determine.

(a) Option Price. The Option Price per share shall be determined by the Committee, but, in the case of an Option over Class C Common Stock, shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Class C Common Stock or, in the case of an Option over Class V Common Stock, shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Class V Common Stock, in each case on the date an Option is granted (other than in the case of Options granted in substitution of previously granted awards, as described in Section 3 of the Plan).

 

9


(b) Exercisability. Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date it is granted.

(c) Exercise of Options. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time to time any part, of the shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable, for which it is then exercisable. For purposes of this Section 6, the exercise date of an Option shall be the latest of (i) the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company, (ii) the date payment is received by the Company pursuant to clause (A) or (B) of the following sentence, and (iii) the date on which any condition imposed by the Committee that is consistent with the terms of the Plan and the applicable Stock Award Agreement is satisfied. The purchase price for the shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable, as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company as designated by the Committee or as specified in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, pursuant to one or more of the following methods: (A) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by personal check or wire transfer); or (B) in each case to the extent explicitly permitted by the Committee in the applicable Stock Award Agreement or otherwise: (1) in shares of the applicable class of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the shares being purchased and satisfying such other reasonable requirements as may be imposed by the Committee; provided, that such shares of such class of Common Stock have been held by the Participant for no less than six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment applying GAAP), (2) partly in cash and partly in such shares, (3) if the class of shares of Common Stock for which an Option is exercised is registered under the Exchange Act and traded on a national securities exchange, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell such shares obtained upon the exercise of such Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the shares being purchased, (4) by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note, or (5) through net settlement in shares of the class of Common Stock for which the Option is being exercised. No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full for such shares and, if applicable, has satisfied any other reasonable conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan. No fractional shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable, will be issued upon exercise of an Option, but instead cash will be paid for a fraction or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of shares will be rounded downward to the next whole share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect at any time to pay cash or part cash and part shares of the applicable class of Common Stock for which an Option is being exercised in lieu of issuing only shares in respect of such exercise. If a cash payment is made in lieu of issuing any shares in respect of the exercise of an Option, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the product of the number of shares for which a cash payment is being made multiplied by excess of the Fair Market Value per share of the class of Common Stock for which the Option was exercised as of the date of exercise over the Option Price.

 

10


(d) ISOs. The Committee may grant Options exercisable for Class C Common Stock under the Plan that are intended to be ISOs. Such ISOs shall comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code (or any successor section thereto). No ISO may be granted to any Participant who, at the time of such grant, owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, unless (i) the Option Price for such ISO is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the applicable share on the date the ISO is granted and (ii) the date on which such ISO terminates is a date not later than the day preceding the fifth anniversary of the date on which the ISO is granted. Any Participant who disposes of shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO either (i) within two (2) years after the date of grant of such ISO or (ii) within one (1) year after the transfer of such shares to the Participant, shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition. All Options granted under the Plan are intended to be nonqualified stock options, unless the applicable Stock Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an ISO. If an Option is intended to be an ISO, and if for any reason such Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a nonqualified stock option granted under the Plan; provided, that such Option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with the Plan’s requirements relating to nonqualified stock options. In no event shall any member of the Committee, the Company or any of its Affiliates (or their respective employees, officers or directors) have any liability to any Participant (or any other Person) due to the failure of an Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.

(e) Attestation. Wherever in the Plan or any Stock Award Agreement a Participant is permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable, the Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such shares, in which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and/or shall withhold such number of shares from the shares acquired by the exercise of the Option, as appropriate.

(f) Compliance With Laws, Etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner in which the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as it may be amended from time to time, or any other Applicable Law or the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or traded.

7. Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Grants. The Committee may grant (i) a Stock Appreciation Right independent of an Option or (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right in connection with an Option or a portion thereof. A Stock Appreciation Right granted pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted at the time the related Option is granted or at any time prior to the exercise or cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the same class of shares as is covered by the related Option and the same number of shares of the class of Common Stock covered by such Option (or such lesser number of shares as the Committee may determine), and (C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by this Section 7 (or such additional limitations as may be included in the applicable Stock Award Agreement).

 

11


(b) Terms. The exercise price per share of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be an amount determined by the Committee but in no event shall such amount be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of the class of Common Stock covered by the Stock Appreciation Right on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted (other than in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted in substitution of previously granted awards, as described in Section 3 of the Plan); provided, that in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, the exercise price may not be less than the Option Price of the related Option. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of the applicable class of Common Stock on which the Stock Appreciation Right is granted over (B) the exercise price per share, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock covered by the Stock Appreciation Right. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion thereof, shall entitle a Participant to surrender to the Company the unexercised Option, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of the applicable class of Common Stock over (B) the Option Price per share, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock covered by the Option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered. In addition, each Stock Appreciation Right that is granted in conjunction with an Option or a portion thereof shall automatically terminate upon the exercise of such Option or portion thereof, as applicable. Payment shall be made in shares or in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash (any such shares valued at such Fair Market Value), all as shall be determined by the Committee. Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised from time to time upon actual receipt by the Company of written notice of exercise stating the number of shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. The date a notice of exercise is received by the Company shall be the exercise date. No fractional shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable, will be issued in payment for Stock Appreciation Rights, but instead cash will be paid for a fraction or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of shares will be rounded downward to the next whole share.

(c) Limitations. The Committee may impose, in its discretion, such conditions upon the exercisability of Stock Appreciation Rights as it may deem fit, but in no event shall a Stock Appreciation Right be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date it is granted.

8. Other Stock-Based Awards.

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant or sell Stock Awards of shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, Stock Awards of restricted shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock and Stock Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of, shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock (“Other Stock-Based Awards”). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive, or vest with respect to, one or more shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable (or the equivalent cash value of such shares), upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence

 

12


of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Stock Awards granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made; the number and class of shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based Awards; whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares; and all other terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable). The Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect at any time to pay cash or part cash and part shares in lieu of issuing any shares in respect of such Other-Stock Based Awards; provided, that, if a cash payment is made in lieu of issuing any shares in respect of an Other Stock-Based Award, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the product of the number of shares for which a cash payment is being made multiplied by the Fair Market Value per share of the class of Common Stock covered by the Other Stock-Based Award.

9. Performance Compensation Awards.

(a) General. In addition to Stock Awards, the Committee shall have the authority to make an award of a cash bonus (including a cash bonus under the 2012 LTIP) to any Participant and designate such award as a Performance Compensation Award. Any Stock Award or cash bonus award (including a cash bonus under the 2012 LTIP) designated by the Committee as a Performance Compensation Award shall be subject to achievement of Performance Goals over a Performance Period, as established by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9. The Committee shall have the authority, at or before the time of grant of any Stock Award or cash bonus award, to designate such Stock Award or cash bonus award as a Performance Compensation Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the Company determines that a Participant who has been granted an award designated as a Performance Compensation Award is not (or is no longer) a “covered employee” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code), the terms and conditions of such award may be modified without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth in this Section 9 (but subject otherwise to the provisions of Section 15 of the Plan).

(b) Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance Compensation Awards. For Performance Compensation Awards, the Committee shall have sole discretion to select the length of Performance Periods, the type(s) of Performance Compensation Awards to be issued, the Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s), the kind(s) and/or level(s) of the Performance Goal(s) that is (are) to apply and the Performance Formula(e). Within the first ninety (90) days of a Performance Period (or, within any other maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, with regard to the Performance Compensation Awards to be issued for such Performance Period, exercise its discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence and record the same in writing.

(c) Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s) for Performance Compensation Awards may be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company (and/or the DHI Group, the Class V Group, one or more of the Company or any of its Affiliates, divisions or operational and/or business units,

 

13


product lines, brands, business segments, administrative departments or any combination of the foregoing) and shall be limited to the following, which may be determined in accordance with GAAP or on a non-GAAP basis: (i) net earnings, net income (before or after taxes) or consolidated net income; (ii) basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes); (iii) net revenue or net revenue growth; (iv) gross revenue or gross revenue growth, gross profit or gross profit growth; (v) net operating profit (before or after taxes); (vi) return measures (including, without limitation, return on investment, assets, capital, employed capital, invested capital, equity or sales); (vii) cash flow measures (including, without limitation, operating cash flow, free cash flow or cash flow return on capital), which may but are not required to be measured on a per share basis; (viii) actual or adjusted earnings before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization (including EBIT and EBITDA); (ix) gross or net operating margins; (x) productivity ratios; (xi) share price (including, without limitation, growth measures and total stockholder return); (xii) expense targets or cost reduction goals, general and administrative expense savings; (xiii) operating efficiency; (xiv) objective measures of customer/client satisfaction; (xv) working capital targets; (xvi) measures of economic value added or other ‘value creation’ metrics; (xvii) enterprise value; (xviii) sales; (xix) stockholder return; (xx) customer/client retention; (xxi) competitive market metrics; (xxii) employee retention; (xxiii) objective measures of personal targets, goals or completion of projects (including, without limitation, succession and hiring projects, completion of specific acquisitions, dispositions, reorganizations or other corporate transactions or capital-raising transactions, expansions of specific business operations and meeting divisional or project budgets); (xxiv) comparisons of continuing operations to other operations; (xxv) market share; (xxvi) cost of capital, debt leverage year-end cash position or book value; (xxvii) strategic objectives; or (xxviii) any combination of the foregoing. Any one or more of the Performance Criteria may be stated as a percentage of another Performance Criteria, or used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of the Company and/or the DHI Group, the Class V Group, one or more of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, or any divisions or operational and/or business units, product lines, brands, business segments or administrative departments of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem appropriate, or any of the above Performance Criteria may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison companies, or a published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Stock Award or cash bonus award based on the achievement of Performance Goals pursuant to the Performance Criteria specified in this paragraph. To the extent required under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall, within the first ninety (90) days of a Performance Period (or, within any other maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for such Performance Period.

(d) Modification of Performance Goal(s). In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Criteria without obtaining stockholder approval of such alterations, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such alterations without obtaining stockholder approval. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time a Performance Compensation Award is granted, the Committee shall, during the first ninety (90) days of a Performance Period (or, within any other maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), or at any time thereafter to the extent the exercise of such authority at such time would not cause the Performance Compensation Awards granted to any Participant for such Performance Period to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, specify adjustments or modifications to

 

14


be made to the calculation of a Performance Goal for such Performance Period, based on and in order to appropriately reflect the following events: (i) asset write-downs; (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (iii) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles or other laws or regulatory rules affecting reported results; (iv) any reorganization and restructuring programs; (v) acquisitions or divestitures; (vi) any other specific, unusual or nonrecurring events or objectively determinable category thereof; (vii) foreign exchange gains and losses; (viii) discontinued operations and nonrecurring charges; and (ix) a change in the Company’s fiscal year.

(e) Payment of Performance Compensation Awards.

 

  (i) Condition to Receipt of Payment. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company on the last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award for such Performance Period.

 

  (ii) Limitation. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, a Participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award only to the extent that (A) the Performance Goals for such Performance Period are achieved, and (B) all or some portion of such Participant’s Performance Compensation Award has been earned for the Performance Period based on the application of the Performance Formula to such achieved Performance Goals.

 

  (iii) Certification. Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee shall review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, calculate and certify in writing that amount of the Performance Compensation Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance Formula. The Committee shall then determine the amount of each Participant’s Performance Compensation Award actually payable for the Performance Period and, in so doing, may apply Negative Discretion.

 

  (iv) Use of Negative Discretion. In determining the actual amount of an individual Participant’s Performance Compensation Award for a Performance Period, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance Compensation Award earned under the Performance Formula in the Performance Period through the use of Negative Discretion. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, the Committee shall not have the discretion to (A) grant or provide payment in respect of Performance Compensation Awards for a Performance Period if the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have not been attained, or (B) increase a Performance Compensation Award above the applicable limitations set forth in Section 4 of the Plan.

(f) Timing of Performance Compensation Award Payments. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, Performance Compensation Awards granted for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants as soon as administratively practicable following completion of the certifications required by this Section 9 of the Plan.

10. Adjustments upon Certain Events.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all Stock Awards granted hereunder:

(a) Generally. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Class C Common Stock or the Class V Common Stock, as applicable, by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, stock rights offering, spin-off, combination, transaction or exchange of such shares or other corporate exchange, or any transaction similar to the foregoing, the Committee shall make such substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems to be equitable in order to prevent the enlargement or diminution of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan (subject to Section 19 of the Plan), as to (i) the number or kind of shares or other securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan or pursuant to outstanding Stock Awards, (ii) the Option Price or exercise price of any Stock Appreciation Right and/or (iii) any other affected terms of such Stock Awards; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events that is an “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Section 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (FASB ASC 718)), the Committee shall make an equitable adjustment to outstanding Stock Awards to reflect such event.

(b) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control after the Effective Date, the Committee may (subject to Section 19 of the Plan and any Participant’s rights under a Stock Award Agreement), but shall not be obligated to, (i) accelerate, vest or cause the restrictions to lapse with respect to all or any portion of a Stock Award, (ii) subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, cancel such Stock Awards for fair value (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion in good faith) which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, may, if so determined by the Committee, equal the excess, if any, of value of the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control transaction, directly or indirectly, to holders of the same number and class of shares of Common Stock subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or, if no consideration is paid in any such transaction, the Fair Market Value of the applicable class of shares of Common Stock subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) over the aggregate Option Price of such Options or exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Rights (it being understood that, in such event, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right having a per share Option Price or exercise price equal to, or in excess of, such Fair Market Value may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor), (iii) subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, provide for the issuance of substitute Stock Awards that will preserve the rights under, and the otherwise applicable terms of, any affected Stock Awards previously granted hereunder as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion in good faith, and/or (iv) provide that for a period of at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Change in Control, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable as to all shares subject thereto (whether or not vested) and that upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

 

16


11. No Right to Employment or Stock Awards.

The granting of a Stock Award under the Plan shall impose no obligation on the Company or any of its Affiliate to continue the Employment of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s right or any of its Affiliates’ rights to terminate the Employment of such Participant. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Stock Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Stock Awards. The terms and conditions of Stock Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated).

12. Successors and Assigns.

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and each Participant, including without limitation, the estate of each such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of any such estate and, if applicable, any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the creditors of any such Participant.

13. Nontransferability of Stock Awards.

Unless expressly permitted by the Committee in a Stock Award Agreement or otherwise in writing, and, in each case, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, a Stock Award shall not be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or by operation of law, by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided, that this Section 13 shall not prevent transfers by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. A Stock Award exercisable after the death of a Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or distributees of the Participant, subject to any conditions or qualifications imposed by the Board.

14. Tax Withholding.

(a) A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or one or more of its Affiliates, as applicable, an amount in cash (by check or wire transfer) equal to the aggregate amount of any income, employment and/or other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld in respect of a Stock Award. Alternatively, the Company or any of its Affiliates may elect, in its sole discretion, to satisfy this requirement by withholding such amount from any cash compensation or other cash amounts owing to a Participant.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 14(a) of the Plan, the Committee may (but is not obligated to), in its sole discretion, in a Stock Award Agreement or otherwise, permit or require a Participant to satisfy, all or any portion of the minimum income, employment and/or other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld with respect to a Stock Award by (i) the delivery of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) that have been both held by the Participant and vested for at least

 

17


six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment under applicable accounting standards) having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such minimum statutorily required withholding liability (or portion thereof); or (ii) having the Company withhold from the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, the Participant upon the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of the Stock Award, as applicable, a number of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to an amount, subject to Section 14(c) of the Plan below, not in excess of such minimum statutorily required withholding liability (or portion thereof).

(c) The Committee, subject to its having considered the applicable accounting impact of any such determination, has full discretion to allow Participants to satisfy, in whole or in part, any additional income, employment and/or other applicable taxes payable by them with respect to a Stock Award by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, a Participant upon the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of the Stock Award, as applicable, shares of the applicable class of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding liability (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum statutory withholding amount(s) in a Participant’s relevant tax jurisdictions).

15. Amendments or Termination.

The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made, (a) without the approval of the requisite stockholders of the Company, if such action would (except as is provided in Section 10 of the Plan) increase the total number of shares reserved for the purposes of the Plan or, if applicable, change the maximum number of shares for which Stock Awards may be granted to any Participant, materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan or otherwise require stockholder approval under Applicable Law, or (b) without the consent of a Participant, if such action would diminish the rights of such individual Participant under any Stock Award theretofore granted to such Participant under the Plan; provided, that anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as it deems necessary to cause a Stock Award to comply with the requirements of the Code or other Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, to avoid adverse tax consequences) or for changes in GAAP or new accounting standards; provided, further, that such amendment shall not adversely affect the rights or potential benefits of the Participant under the Stock Award, unless the Participant consents thereto in writing.

16. Choice of Law.

The Plan and the Stock Awards granted hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

 

18


17. Effective Date; Section 162(m) Approval.

(a) The Plan was first effective as of the Effective Date, and amended and restated effective as of September 7, 2016.

(b) If so determined by the Committee, (i) the Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval in a manner that complies with Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder at such time as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, and (ii) after the Section 162(m) Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan regarding Performance Compensation Awards shall be disclosed and reapproved by stockholders no later than the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which stockholders previously approved such provisions, in each case in order for certain awards granted after such time to be exempt from the deduction limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code. Nothing in this clause, however, shall affect the validity of awards granted after such time if such stockholder approval has not been obtained or require the Company to submit the Plan for such stockholder approval.

18. Foreign Law.

The Committee may grant Stock Awards to eligible individuals who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States and who are not (and who are not expected to be) “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures or Sub-Plans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.

19. Section 409A.

The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an exemption or exclusion therefrom and, with respect to amounts that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, it is intended that the Plan be administered in all respects in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment under any Stock Award shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. A Participant may not, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under any Stock Award that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Stock Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company), amounts that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that would otherwise be payable on account of a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and during the six-month period immediately following a Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Separation from Service”) shall instead be paid or provided on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Participant’s Separation from Service. If the Participant

 

19


dies following the Separation from Service and prior to the payment of any amounts delayed on account of Section 409A of the Code, such amounts shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate within thirty (30) days after the date of the Participant’s death. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 19 in good faith; provided, that neither the Company, the Committee nor any of the Company’s employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to any Participant with respect to this Section 19.

20. Clawback / Repayment

All Stock Awards shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (i) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Committee and as in effect from time to time, and (ii) Applicable Law. Further, to the extent that the Participant receives any amount in excess of the amount that the Participant should otherwise have received under the terms of the Stock Award for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company.

*        *        *         *        *        *

As originally adopted by the Board of Directors of Denali Holding Inc. on October 29, 2013.

Amended and restated by the Board of Directors of Dell Technologies Inc. on September 2, 2016, approved by the stockholders of Dell Technologies Inc. on September 5, 2016 and effective as of September 7, 2016.

Dell Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) sets forth herein the terms of its 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as follows:

 

1. PURPOSE

The Plan is intended to (a) provide eligible persons with an incentive to contribute to the long-term success of the Company and to operate and manage the Company’s business in a manner that will provide for the Company’s long-term growth and profitability to benefit its stockholders and other important stakeholders, including its employees and customers, (b) provide a means of obtaining, rewarding and retaining key personnel and (c) ensure that key personnel act in the best interest of the Company during and after their service to the Company as a condition to enjoying the benefits of such rewards. To this end, the Plan provides for the grant of cash-denominated Awards made as performance incentives to reward the holders of such Awards for the achievement of performance goals or a period of Service in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

The Plan is an amendment and restatement of the Prior Plans. All awards granted under a Prior Plan prior to the Amendment Date will be subject to the terms of such Prior Plan as then in effect.

 

2. DEFINITIONS

For purposes of interpreting the Plan documents (including any Award Agreements), the following definitions shall apply:

2.17 “Disability” with respect to a Grantee means that the Committee (1) has determined that the Grantee has a permanent physical or mental impairment of sufficient severity as to prevent the Grantee from performing duties for the Company or any Affiliate and (2) has provided written notice to the Grantee that the Grantee’s employment is terminated due to a permanent “Disability” for purposes of this Plan. The Committee, or its designee, may establish any process or procedure it deems appropriate for determining whether a Grantee has a “Disability.” Whether a Grantee’s employment is terminated due to “Disability” for purposes of this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in the Committee’s complete discretion.

2.30 “Performance Measures” means measures as specified in Section 7.5.4 on which the performance goals under Performance-Based Awards are based and which are approved by the Company’s stockholders pursuant to, and to the extent required by, the Plan in order to qualify such Performance-Based Awards as Performance-Based Compensation.

2.36 “Service” means service of a Grantee as a Service Provider to the Company or any Affiliate.

If a Service Provider’s employment or other service relationship is with an Affiliate and the applicable entity ceases to be an Affiliate, a termination of Service shall be deemed to have occurred when such entity ceases to be an Affiliate unless the Service Provider transfers his or her employment or other service relationship to the Company or any other Affiliate. Any determination by the Committee whether a termination of Service shall have occurred for purposes of the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive.

2.37 “Service Provider” means, as of any date of determination, an Employee, officer, or director of the Company or any Affiliate, or a consultant (who is a natural person), a contractor (who is a natural person) or adviser (who is a natural person) to the Company or any Affiliate who provides services to the Company or any Affiliate.

In addition, any other entity may be designated by the Committee as a Subsidiary; provided, that such entity could be considered as a subsidiary according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in the Plan to “including” shall mean “including without limitation.”

References in the Plan to any Code Section shall be deemed to include, as applicable, regulations promulgated under such Code Section.

3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

3.1 Power, Authorities, and Composition of the Committee.

3.1.1 Administration.

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which may delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof, and, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, the Committee shall be composed exclusively of members who are independent directors in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Stock is listed. To the extent the Company deems it necessary (i) to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (if the Board is not acting as the Committee under the Plan), it is intended that each member of the Committee shall, at the time such member takes any action with respect to an Award under the Plan that is intended to qualify for the exemptions provided by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, be a Non-Employee Director or (ii) to obtain the exception for performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), it is intended that each member of the Committee shall, at the time such member takes any action with respect to an Award under the Plan that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), be an Outside Director. However, the fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify as a Non-Employee Director or as an Outside Director shall not invalidate any Award granted by the Committee that is otherwise validly granted under the Plan.

3.1.2 Power and Authorities.

Subject to the terms of the Plan and each Award Agreement, the Committee is authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties concerned (including, but not limited to, participants and their beneficiaries or successors).

3.1.3 Delegation of Authority.

The Committee may delegate the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to any Employee or group of Employees of the Company or an Affiliate; provided, that such delegation and grants are consistent with Applicable Laws and guidelines established by the Board from time to time; provided, further, that the Committee may not delegate authority hereunder to (i) make Awards to directors of the Company, (ii) make Awards to Employees who are officers of the Company or who are delegated authority to make Awards under this Section 3.1.3, or (iii) interpret the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement.

3.2 Board.

The Board from time to time may exercise any or all of the powers and authorities related to the administration and implementation of the Plan, as set forth in Section 3.1 and other applicable provisions of the Plan, as the Board shall determine, consistent with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Applicable Laws.

(i) designate Grantees;

(ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be made to a Grantee;

(iv) prescribe the form of any Award Agreement evidencing an Award; and

(v) amend, modify or supplement the terms of any outstanding Award, which authority shall include the authority, in order to effectuate the purposes of the Plan but without amending the Plan, to make Awards or to modify outstanding Awards made to eligible natural persons who are foreign nationals or are natural persons who are employed outside the United States to reflect differences in local law, tax policy, or custom; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or supplement of the terms of any outstanding Award shall, without the consent of the Grantee thereof, impair such Grantee’s rights under such Award.

The Committee shall have the right, in its discretion, to make Awards in substitution or exchange for any award granted under another compensatory plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity acquired or to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate or with which the Company or an Affiliate has combined or will combine.

3.3.2 Forfeiture; Recoupment.

The Committee may reserve the right in an Award Agreement (or another written agreement) to cause a forfeiture of the gain realized by a Grantee with respect to an Award thereunder on account of actions taken by, or failed to be taken by, such Grantee as and to the extent specified in such agreement, including, but not limited to, Conduct Detrimental to the Company as that term is defined in the applicable agreement. The Committee may rescind an outstanding Award if the Grantee thereof is an Employee and is terminated for Conduct Detrimental to the Company as defined in the applicable agreement or for “cause” as defined in any other agreement between the Company or such Affiliate and such Grantee, as applicable.

Any Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to mandatory repayment by the Grantee to the Company to the extent the Grantee is, or in the future becomes, subject to (a) any Company “clawback” or recoupment policy including, but not limited to, any requirement set forth in this Plan or in any Award Agreement, or (b) any law, rule or regulation which imposes mandatory recoupment, under circumstances set forth in such law, rule or regulation.

3.4 Deferral Arrangement.

The Committee may permit or require a Grantee to defer receipt of any Award into a deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish. Any such deferrals shall be made in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A.

4.3 Amendment and Termination.

The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. The effectiveness of any amendment to the Plan shall be contingent on approval of such amendment by the Company’s stockholders to the extent provided by the Board or required by Applicable Laws (including the rules of any Stock Exchange on which the Stock is then listed). No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore made under the Plan without the consent of the Grantee thereof.

6. AWARD AGREEMENT

An Award granted pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall be in such form or forms as the Committee shall from time to time determine to be necessary or advisable. Award Agreements employed under the Plan from time to time or at the same time need not contain similar provisions, but shall be consistent with the terms of the Plan. Awards under the Plan may be Performance-Based Awards or cash-denominated Awards based on continued Service.

 

7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

7.1 Grant of Performance-Based Awards.

Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Performance-Based Awards to a Plan participant in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine.

7.2 Value of Performance-Based Awards.

Each grant of a Performance-Based Award shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of grant. The Committee shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are achieved, shall determine the value subject to a Performance-Based Award that will be paid out to the Grantee thereof.

7.3 Form and Timing of Payment of Performance-Based Awards.

Payment of earned Performance-Based Awards shall be as determined by the Committee pursuant to the written grant documentation. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance-Based Awards in the form of cash, shares of Stock or other property (or a combination thereof) equal to the value of such earned Performance-Based Awards and shall pay the Awards that have been earned at the close of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Committee has determined that the performance goal or goals relating thereto have been achieved; provided, that, unless specifically provided in the Award Agreement for such Awards, such payment shall occur no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which such Performance Period ends. Any shares of Stock paid out under such Performance-Based Awards may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. The determination of the Committee with respect to the form of payout of such Performance-Based Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement therefor.

 

8


7.4 Performance Conditions.

The right of a Grantee to receive a grant or settlement of any Performance-Based Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions. If and to the extent required under Code Section 162(m), any power or authority relating to an Award intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m) shall be exercised by the Committee and not by the Board.

7.5 Performance-Based Awards Granted to Designated Covered Employees.

If and to the extent that the Committee determines that a Performance-Based Award to be granted to a Grantee should constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code Section 162(m), the grant and/or settlement of such Award shall be contingent upon achievement of pre-established performance goals and other terms set forth in this Section 7.5.

7.5.1 Performance Goals Generally.

The performance goals for Performance-Based Awards shall consist of one or more business criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent with this Section 7.5. Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Code Section 162(m), including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee result in the achievement of performance goals being “substantially uncertain.” The Committee may determine that such Awards shall be granted and/or settled upon achievement of any single performance goal or of two (2) or more performance goals. Performance goals may differ for Awards granted to any one Grantee or to different Grantees.

7.5.2 Timing For Establishing Performance Goals.

Performance goals for any Performance-Based Award shall be established not later than the earlier of (a) 90 days after the beginning of any Performance Period applicable to such Award, and (b) the date on which twenty-five percent (25%) of any Performance Period applicable to such Award has expired, or at such other date as may be required or permitted for compensation payable to a Covered Employee to constitute Performance-Based Compensation.

7.5.3 Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance-Based Awards.

For Performance-Based Awards, the Committee shall have sole discretion to select the length of Performance Periods, the types of Performance-Based Awards to be issued, the Performance Measures that will be used to establish the performance goals, and the kinds and/or levels of the performance goals that is are to apply. Within the first ninety (90) days of a Performance Period (or, within any other maximum period allowed under Code Section 162(m)), the Committee shall, with regard to the Performance-Based Awards to be issued for such Performance Period, exercise its discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence and record the same in writing.

 

9


7.5.4 Performance Measures.

The Performance Measures that will be used to establish the performance goals for Performance-Based Awards may be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company (and/or the DHI Group, the Class V Group, one or more of the Company or any of its Affiliates, divisions or operational and/or business units, product lines, brands, business segments, administrative departments, or any combination of the foregoing) and shall be limited to the following, which may be determined in accordance with GAAP or on a non-GAAP basis:

(xxiv) comparisons of continuing operations to other operations;

(xxv) market share;

(xxvi) cost of capital, debt leverage year-end cash position or book value;

(xxvii) strategic objectives; or

Any one or more of the Performance Measures may be stated as a percentage of another Performance Measure, or used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of the Company and/or the DHI Group, the Class V Group, one or more of the Company or any of its Affiliates, divisions or operational and/or business units, product lines, brands, business segments, administrative departments, or any combination of the foregoing, as the Committee may deem appropriate, or any of the above Performance Measures may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison companies, or a published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to the Performance Measures specified in this Section 7.5.4. To the extent required under Code Section 162(m), the Committee shall, within the first ninety (90) days of a Performance Period (or, within any other maximum period allowed under Code Section 162(m)), define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance Measures it selects to use for such Performance Period.

7.5.5 Modifications to Performance.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time a Performance-Based Award is granted, the Committee shall, during the first ninety (90) days of a Performance Period (or, within any other maximum period allowed under Code Section 162(m)), or at any time thereafter to the extent the exercise of such authority at such time would not cause the Performance-Based Awards granted to any participant for such Performance Period to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), specify adjustments or modifications to be made to the calculation of a performance goal for such Performance Period, based on and in order to appropriately reflect the following events: (i) asset write-downs; (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (iii) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or regulatory rules affecting reported results; (iv) any reorganization and

 

11


restructuring programs; (v) acquisitions or divestitures; (vi) any other specific, unusual or nonrecurring events, or objectively determinable category thereof; (vii) foreign exchange gains and losses; (viii) discontinued operations and nonrecurring charges; and (ix) a change in the Company’s fiscal year. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect Awards to Covered Employees that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, such inclusions or exclusions shall be prescribed in a form that meets the requirements of Code Section 162(m) for deductibility.

7.5.6 Adjustment of Performance-Based Compensation and Negative Discretion.

The Committee shall have the sole discretion to adjust Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, either on a formula or discretionary basis, or on any combination thereof, as the Committee determines consistent with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) for deductibility. In determining the actual amount of an individual participant’s Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance-Based Award earned in the Performance Period through the use of Negative Discretion. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall not have the discretion to (A) grant or provide payment in respect of a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period if the performance goals for such Performance Period have not been attained, or (B) increase a Performance-Based Award above the applicable limitations set forth in Section 5.2 of the Plan.

7.5.7 Committee Discretion.

In the event that Applicable Laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Measures without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining stockholder approval; provided, that the exercise of such discretion shall not be inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 162(m). In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that shall not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and base vesting on Performance Measures other than those set forth in Section 7.5.4.

7.5.8 Status of Awards Under Code Section 162(m).

It is the intent of the Company that Performance-Based Awards under Section 7.5 granted to persons who are designated by the Committee as likely to be Covered Employees within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations promulgated thereunder shall, if so designated by the Committee, constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m). Accordingly, the terms of Section 7.5, including the definitions of Covered Employee and other terms used therein, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Code Section 162(m). If any provision of the Plan or any agreement relating to any such Performance-Based Award does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 162(m), such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

 

12


8. PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

If any Grantee is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Code Section 280G(c), then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by such Grantee with the Company or an Affiliate, except an agreement, contract, or understanding that expressly addresses Code Section 280G or Code Section 4999 (an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Grantee (including groups or classes of Grantees or beneficiaries of which the Grantee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Grantee (a “Benefit Arrangement”), any right of the Grantee to any vesting, payment, or benefit under the Plan shall be reduced or eliminated:

(i) to the extent that such right to vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Grantee under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any vesting, payment, or benefit to the Grantee under the Plan to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2) as then in effect (a “Parachute Payment”); and

(ii) if, as a result of receiving such Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Grantee from the Company under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by the Grantee without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment.

The Company shall accomplish such reduction by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments (with the payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Performance-Based Awards, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Parachute Payments.

 

9. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

9.1 General.

The Company shall not be required to offer, sell or issue any shares of Stock under any Award if the offer, sale or issuance of such shares of Stock would constitute a violation by the Grantee, the Company or an Affiliate, or any other person, of any provision of Applicable Laws, including any federal or state securities laws or regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares of Stock subject to an Award upon any securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the offering, issuance, sale or purchase of shares of Stock in connection with any Award, no shares of Stock may be offered, issued or sold to the Grantee or any other person under such Award, unless such listing, registration or qualification shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of such Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the delivery of any shares of Stock underlying an Award, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock subject to such Award, the Company shall not be

 

13


required to offer, sell or issue such shares of Stock unless the Committee shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other person accepting delivery of such shares may acquire such shares of Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company may register, but shall in no event be obligated to register, any shares of Stock or other securities issuable pursuant to the Plan pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the issuance of shares of Stock or other securities issuable pursuant to the Plan or any Award to comply with any Applicable Laws.

9.2 Rule 16b-3.

During any time when the Company has a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intention of the Company that Awards which may be settled in Stock pursuant to the Plan under the MEP shall qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee does not comply with the requirements of such Rule 16b-3, such provision or action shall be deemed inoperative with respect to such Awards to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and deemed advisable by the Committee, and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the event that such Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board may exercise its discretion to modify the Plan in any respect necessary or advisable in its judgment to satisfy the requirements of, or to permit the Company to avail itself of the benefits of, the revised exemption or its replacement.

 

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 No Limitations on Company.

The making of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets (including all or any part of the business or assets of any Subsidiary or other Affiliate) or engage in any other transaction or activity.

10.2 Disclaimer of Rights.

No provision in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or Service of the Company or an Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Company or an Affiliate either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any natural person or entity at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any natural person or entity and the Company or an Affiliate. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, in another agreement with the Grantee, or otherwise in writing, no Award granted under the Plan shall be affected by any change of duties or position of the Grantee thereof, so long as such Grantee continues to provide Service. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to the Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts provided herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan and Awards

 

14


shall in no way be interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third-party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any Grantee or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan.

10.3 Nonexclusivity of the Plan.

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Board to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or particular individuals) as the Board in its discretion determines desirable.

10.4 Withholding Taxes.

The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award or upon the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to an Award. At the time of such vesting or lapse, the Grantee shall pay in cash to the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount that the Company or such Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation.

10.5 Captions.

The use of captions in the Plan or any Award Agreement is for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan or such Award Agreement.

10.6 Other Provisions.

Each Award granted under the Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

10.7 Number and Gender.

With respect to words used in the Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form and the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, as the context requires.

10.8 Severability.

If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction.

10.9 Governing Law.

The validity and construction of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards granted hereunder to the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

15


10.10 Foreign Jurisdictions.

To the extent the Committee determines that the material terms set by the Committee imposed by the Plan preclude the achievement of the material purposes of the Plan in jurisdictions outside the United States, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to modify those terms and provide for such additional terms and conditions as the Committee determines to be necessary, appropriate, or desirable to accommodate differences in local law, policy or custom or to facilitate administration of the Plan. The Committee may adopt or approve sub-plans, appendices or supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative version of the Plan as in effect for any other purposes. The special terms and any appendices, supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions, however, shall not include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as in effect, unless the Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the stockholders.

10.11 Resolution of Disputes.

Any controversy arising out of or relating to any Award shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures in the applicable Award Agreement. Such dispute resolution procedures may include binding mandatory arbitration.

10.12 Code Section 409A.

The Company intends to comply with Code Section 409A, or an exemption to Code Section 409A, with regard to Awards hereunder that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A. To the extent that the Company determines that a Grantee would be subject to the additional twenty percent (20%) tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Code Section 409A as a result of any provision of any Award granted under the Plan, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Committee.

EX-99.3

Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of loss for the six months ended July 29, 2016 and the year ended January 29, 2016 combine the historical consolidated statements of income (loss) of Dell Technologies Inc. (formerly known as Denali Holding Inc.) (“the Company”) and EMC Corporation (“EMC”), giving effect to the merger and related financing transactions as if they had occurred on January 31, 2015, the first day of the fiscal year ended January 29, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of loss for the year ended January 29, 2016 additionally reflects the classification as discontinued operations of Dell Services and Dell Software Group due to their anticipated dispositions as if they had occurred on January 31, 2015. The anticipated dispositions of Dell Services and Dell Software Group have already been accounted for as discontinued operations in the Company’s statement of income (loss) for the six months ended July 29, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of July 29, 2016 combines the historical consolidated statements of financial position of the Company and EMC, giving effect to the merger and related financing transactions as if they had occurred on July 29, 2016. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of loss, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and EMC, including the related notes, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, as it relates to the EMC merger, has been prepared by the Company using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The Company has been treated as the acquirer in the merger for accounting purposes. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The assets and liabilities of EMC have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable based on information that is currently available to it. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur, and those differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Description of Transaction

On September 7, 2016, Universal Acquisition Co, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), merged with and into EMC (the “merger”), with EMC surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, upon the completion of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of EMC (the “EMC Common Stock”) was converted into the right to receive (1) $24.05 in cash, without interest, and (2) 0.11146 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company designated as Class V Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class V Common Stock”), plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. The shares of Class V Common Stock are intended to track and reflect the economic performance of the “Class V Group” of the Company, which initially has attributed to it approximately 65% of EMC’s current economic interest in the business of VMware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VMware”), which currently consists of approximately 343 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of VMware held by EMC. The Class V Common Stock is intended to track the performance of such portion of the Company’s economic interest in the VMware business following the completion of the merger, but there can be no assurance that the market price of the Class V Common Stock will, in fact, reflect the performance of such economic interest.

The issuance of the Class V Common Stock in connection with the merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4 Registration Statement”). The proxy statement/prospectus included in the Form S-4 Registration Statement contains additional information about the merger.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for the Dell Technologies Inc./EMC merger and are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and EMC. The Company’s fiscal year end is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the Friday nearest January 31 while EMC’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company’s fiscal year ended January 29, 2016 included 52 weeks. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of loss for the six months ended July 29, 2016 combines the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for the six months ended July 29, 2016 with EMC’s condensed consolidated income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of loss for the year ended January 29, 2016 combines the Company’s consolidated statement of income (loss) for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2016 with EMC’s consolidated income statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of loss for the year ended January 29, 2016 additionally reflects the classification as discontinued operations of Dell Services and Dell Software Group due to their anticipated dispositions as if they had occurred on January 31, 2015. The anticipated dispositions of Dell Services and Dell Software Group have already been accounted for as discontinued operations in the Company’s statement of income (loss) for the six months ended July 29, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of July 29, 2016 combines the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position as of July 29, 2016 with EMC’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. In addition, EMC’s historical “restructuring and acquisition-related expenses” have been reclassified to conform with the Company’s presentation as shown below:

The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC 805, and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred, or if related to the

 

5


issuance of debt, recorded as a contra-liability. Acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred by the Company include estimated fees related to the issuance of long-term debt, as well as financial advisory, legal and accounting fees. Total acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred by the Company and EMC are estimated to be approximately $1.8 billion, which includes an estimated $1.1 billion of debt issuance costs and discounts. During the year ended January 29, 2016, the Company incurred $39 million of acquisition-related costs and EMC incurred $15 million of acquisition-related costs. During the six months ended July 29, 2016, the Company incurred $42 million of acquisition-related costs and EMC incurred $16 million of acquisition-related costs.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of July 29, 2016 is required to include adjustments which give effect to events that are directly attributable to the merger regardless of whether they are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results or are non-recurring. Therefore, acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred by the Company and EMC subsequent to July 29, 2016 of approximately $1.7 billion are reflected as a pro forma adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of July 29, 2016 as follows:

 

    a decrease to cash of $1.7 billion;

 

    a decrease to long-term debt of $1.1 billion for debt discounts and fees;

 

    a decrease in other current liabilities of $135 million for the assumed tax benefit of transaction costs expensed; and

 

    a decrease to accumulated earnings (deficit) of $414 million, net of related tax benefits.

ASC 820 defines the term “fair value,” sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. As a result of these standards, the Company may be required to record the fair value of assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair value measures that do not reflect the Company’s intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect all potential divestitures that may occur subsequent to the completion of the merger, the projected realization of revenue synergies and cost savings following completion of the merger or any potential changes in compensation plans. Although the Company projects that revenue synergies and cost savings will result from the merger, there can be no assurance that these cost savings will be achieved. Management currently estimates that cost savings will be approximately $3.4 billion resulting from increased efficiencies in the operations of the combined company, as well as initiatives to reduce costs for the Company and EMC on a standalone basis.

 

3. Accounting Policies

Based on the Company’s preliminary review of EMC’s accounting policies, the Company has identified a difference between the Company’s and EMC’s policies in the presentation of accounts receivable. In certain circumstances, EMC presents these balances net of related deferred revenue, while the Company primarily presents these receivables and the related deferred revenue on a gross basis. For the presentation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position, EMC’s presentation has been conformed to the Company’s presentation, resulting in an increase in accounts receivable and deferred revenue of $1.4 billion prior to purchase accounting adjustments. The Company is currently performing a further review of EMC’s accounting policies. As a result of that review, the Company may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

(1) The fair value of the Class V Common Stock is based on the issuance of approximately 223 million shares with a per-share fair value of $45.07 (the opening share price of the Class V Common Stock on September 7, 2016, the first day of trading), which shares are intended to track and reflect the economic performance of approximately 65% of EMC’s economic interest in the VMware business. No adjustment has been made for the potential settling of merger consideration through appraisal as such amounts are not expected to be material.
(2) Rollover equity is comprised of non-controlling interests of $6.3 billion. The fair value of the non-controlling interest relating to VMware was calculated by multiplying outstanding shares of VMware common stock that were not owned by EMC by $73.28 (the opening share price of VMware common stock on September 7, 2016).
(3) Pursuant to the guidelines of ASC 805, a portion of the consideration related to EMC equity awards will be recorded as post-merger stock compensation expense. The adjustment represents the estimated portion of stock compensation expense incurred in conjunction with the merger attributable to post-merger service.
(4)

Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the total consideration transferred and the aggregate values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized.

(5) Identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value, and these acquired assets could include assets that are not intended to be used or sold or that are intended to be used in a manner other than their highest and best use. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and consistent with the ASC 820 requirements for fair value measurements, it is assumed that all assets will be used, and that all acquired assets will be used in a manner that represents the highest and best use of those acquired assets.

The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using variations of the “income approach,” which is based on the present value of the future after-tax cash flows attributable to each identifiable intangible asset. Other valuation methods, including the market approach and cost approach, were also considered in estimating the fair value.

As of the date of this filing, the Company does not have sufficient information as to the amount, timing, and risk of the cash flows from all of EMC’s identifiable intangible assets to definitively determine their fair value. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of intangible asset values, from the perspective of a market participant, include, but are not limited to: the amount and timing of projected future cash flows (including revenue and profitability); the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; the assessment of the asset’s life cycle; and the competitive trends impacting the asset. However, for purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the fair value of EMC’s identifiable intangible assets and their weighted-average useful lives have been preliminarily estimated as follows:

 

     Estimated life
(years)
     Estimated fair

      $ 27,500   
     

 

 

 

 

5. Pro Forma Adjustments

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Statement of Loss:

 

(a) To record the decrease in revenue related to the decrease in fair value of EMC’s deferred revenue based on the purchase price allocation. As a portion of EMC’s deferred revenue relates to three-year maintenance contracts, it is expected that EMC’s revenue will be impacted by the fair value adjustment recorded in acquisition accounting for up to three years.

(d) To eliminate historical amortization of capitalized software as its fair value is recorded in developed technology in the preliminary purchase price allocation.
(e) To record the increase in interest expense due to the incurrence of $45.9 billion of debt to finance the merger, the decrease in interest expense related to the debt of the Company and EMC that is to be repaid as part of the merger, and the recording of the debt at fair value based on the preliminary purchase price allocation as follows:

 

(in millions)

   Year Ended

Total interest expense adjustment

   $ 1,929       $ 750   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The weighted-average interest rate of new debt incurred is assumed to be 4.50%. A change in the assumed weighted average interest rate of 0.125% would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the annual interest expense by $57 million.

 

(f) To eliminate historical investment income relating to investments that will be liquidated as a financing source for the merger.
