Section 9.02 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers, and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers, and privileges provided by law. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall comply with 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 Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Lender, or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Lender and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay:

(i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges, and disbursements of counsel for the Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, waivers, or other modifications of the provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or such amendments, waivers, and other modifications are consummated) and;

(ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender, including the fees, charges, and disbursements of any counsel for the Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (i) in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or (ii) in connection with the Loans issued under this Agreement, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any restructuring, workout, or negotiations in respect of the Loan Documents or such Loans.

 

67


(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender and each of its Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and related expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges, and expenses of any counsel for any Indemnified Party), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party) other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or by reason of:

(i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated in any Loan Document, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations under any Loan Document, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents;

(ii) any Loan or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom;

(iii) any actual presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(iv) any actual or prospective claim, investigation, litigation, 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto;

provided that, such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnified Party to the extent that such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party for material breach of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under any Loan Document, if a court of competent jurisdiction has rendered a final and non-appealable judgment in favor of the Borrower on such claim. This Section 9.03 shall only apply to Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, or similar charges arising from a non-Tax claim.

 

68


(c) Each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages (including any loss of profits or anticipated savings), as opposed to actual or direct damages, resulting from this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of such party’s activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).

(d) All amounts due under Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than (ten) 10 Business Days after written demand is made for payment by the Lender.

(e) The Borrower agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries will settle, compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under Section 9.03 (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, or proceeding) without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise, or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, or proceeding.

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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). 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, and to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) The Lender may, at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (as defined below) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it). For purposes of this Agreement, “Eligible Assignee” means any Person other than a natural Person that is (i) an Affiliate of the Lender and is not a competitor of Borrower, (ii) a commercial bank, insurance company, investment or mutual fund, or other Person that is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act), or (iii) a corporate entity that possesses financial sophistication and standing similar

 

69


to that of the Lender. Subject to notification of an assignment, the assignee shall be a party hereto, and to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 and Section 9.03). The Borrower hereby agrees to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment to this Agreement to provide for multiple lenders and an administrative agent to act on behalf of such lenders. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(c) The Lender may, at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities, in each case, that is not a competitor of Borrower (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.01 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, with respect to any participation, than the Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. The Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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, the Lender shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Revolving Credit Commitment, Loans, or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to

 

70


establish that the Revolving Credit Commitment, any 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 the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d) To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were the Lender.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties made by any Loan Party in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other 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 Lender may have notice or knowledge of any Event of 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 Revolving Credit Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 3.01 and Article IX 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 Revolving Credit Commitment, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

(a) This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements hereto 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 Lender constitute the entire contract among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect 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 Lender and when the Lender shall have received a counterpart hereof executed by the Borrower. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (“pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

71


(b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of similar import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic or digital signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same effect, validity, and enforceability as manually executed signatures or a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for under applicable law, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (15 U.S.C. §§ 7001 to 7031), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), or any state law based on the UETA, including the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. Tech. §§ 301 to 309), provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Lender is under no obligation to agree to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Lender pursuant to procedures approved by it; and provided, further, the Lender reserves the right to require, at any time and at its sole discretion, the delivery of manually executed counterpart signature pages to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the parties hereto agree to promptly deliver such manually executed counterpart signature pages.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings, or litigation among the Lender and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall have the same legal effect, validity, and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense, or right to contest the validity or enforceability of such Agreement or Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of such Agreement or Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent the Lender has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Lender shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature.

(e) The Lender may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity, and enforceability as a paper record).

 

72


(f) For purposes of this Agreement, “Electronic Signature” means an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a Person with the intent to sign such record, including, without limitation, facsimile, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page.

Section 9.07 Severability.
