The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to disregard as invalid any bid submitted by the Designated Independent Dealer or Independent Dealer, as applicable, if, in the Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment:

54


(b) Each Company shall be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations, regardless of which Company actually receives the Advances hereunder or the amount of the Obligations received or the manner in which any Agent or any Lender accounts for the Obligations on its books and records. Each Company’s obligations with respect to Advances made to it, and each Company’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Company hereunder, with respect to Advances made to and other Obligations owing by the Companies hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such obligations shall be primary obligations of each Company.

(c) Each Company’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Company hereunder with respect to Advances and other Obligations owing by the Companies hereunder shall, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (A) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the obligations of any other Company or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the obligations of any other Company, (B) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Company, any other guarantor, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (C) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by any Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the obligations of any other Company, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Company and delivered to any Agent or any Lender, (D) the failure by any Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the obligations of any other Company, (E) any Agent’s or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or similar provision under any other applicable debtor relief law, (F) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Company, as Debtor In Possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or similar provision under any other applicable debtor relief law, (G) the disallowance of all or any portion of any Agent’s or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the obligations of any other Company under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or similar provision under any other applicable debtor relief law, or (H) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Company (other than the defense of payment).

(e) In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable debtor relief law or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Company hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability hereunder, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Company or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 2.08. Additional Companies and Parents. The Companies may from time to time request that any Affiliate thereof be joined to this Agreement as a borrower hereunder (any such Affiliate a, “New Borrower”) for the purpose of acquiring or holding Portfolio Investments for which an Approval Supplement has been approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) any such New Borrower is approved by the Administrative Agent in its commercially reasonable discretion and (ii) such New Borrower has duly executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent documentation substantially similar, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, to that documentation executed by the Companies at the Effective Date (other than any Underlying Issuer Letter to the extent the Portfolio Investment pledged by such New Borrower is not a Portfolio Investment previously pledged by any Company hereunder), including but not limited to an amendment and/or joinder agreement to this Agreement (which shall include representations by the New Borrower on the date of such amendment and/or joinder to the effect set forth in Section 6.01) and such other documents, filings and notices as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided further that the Administrative Agent shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such approval with respect to any New Borrower pledging any portion of a Delayed Draw Required Collateral Amount if (x) the constituent documents of such New Borrower are substantially similar to that of the Companies, as determined in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, (y) such New Borrower complies with Sanctions or any similar applicable regulatory prohibition which is then in effect and otherwise satisfactorily provides all information reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in connection with applicable “know your customer” or anti-money laundering requirements and (z) any new Parent is an alternative investment vehicle of an existing Parent.

ARTICLE 3

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE ADVANCES

Section 3.01. The Advances.

(a) Making the Advances. If the Lenders are required to make an Advance to any Company as provided in Section 2.03, then each Lender shall make such Advance on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collateral Agent for deposit to the applicable Collection Account or an account of an Underlying Issuer specified in the applicable Request for Advance, or as otherwise specified in any applicable Steps Memo. Each Lender at its option may make any Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of a Company to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Company may borrow and prepay Advances. Once repaid or prepaid, Advances may not be reborrowed.

(b) Interest on the Advances. Subject to Section 3.01(h), all outstanding Advances shall bear interest (from and including the date on which such Advance is made to but excluding the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the date on which such Advance is repaid) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Advance or any other amount payable hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to the Advances as provided in the preceding sentence.

(c) Evidence of the Advances. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Companies to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and the applicable currency thereof. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Companies, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the “Register”) in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Companies to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the Register maintained pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such Register or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Companies to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

57


Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, a Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(d) Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise provided herein, all borrowings of, and payments in respect of, the Advances shall be made on a pro rata basis by or to the Lenders in accordance with their respective portions of the Financing Commitments in respect of Advances held by them.

(e) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Companies that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful for the Advances to bear interest by reference to the Term SOFR Rate or EURIBOR Rate, as applicable, then the Advances denominated in the applicable currency shall bear interest (from and after the last day of the Calculation Period ending immediately after such adoption or change) at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for the Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.

(f) Increased Costs. (i) If any Change in Law shall:

(A) impose on any Lender any increased cost or expense (other than Taxes) incurred in connection with agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Advances; or

(B) subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining its portion of the Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make its portion of the Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Companies will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

58


(ii) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have 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 Advances 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) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Companies 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 suffered.

(iii) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate, and the basis for such compensation of, such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the Companies and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Companies shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(iv) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Companies shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Companies of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’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.

(v) Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Companies may reasonably request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f); provided that no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, due to a loss of money). In no event will the Companies be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f) which relates to any other entities to which any Lender provides financing.

 

59


(vi) If any Lender (A) requests compensation under this Section 3.01(f) or (B) defaults in its obligation to make Advances hereunder, then the Companies may, at their sole expense and effort, upon written 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, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents to an assignee identified by the Companies that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign), provided that, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of such assignment and (y) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Companies to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(g) No Set-off or counterclaim. Subject to Section 3.03, all payments to be made hereunder by the Companies in respect of the Advances shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that every such payment (after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future Taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which any Company is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority therein or thereof) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement.

(h) Alternate Rate of Interest. (i) If prior to the commencement of any Calculation Period: (x) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate or EURIBOR Rate (including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Rate or EURIBOR Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Calculation Period; or (y) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Term SOFR Rate or EURIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Calculation Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advance) included in such Advance for such Calculation Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Companies and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Companies and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, if any Advance is requested, such Advance shall accrue interest at the applicable Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Benchmark Transition Event and the related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

 

60


(iii) [Reserved]

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Margin Loan Documentation, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(v) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Companies and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (vi) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.01(h), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.01(h).

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR Rate or the EURIBOR Rate) and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Calculation Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Calculation Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

 

61


(vii) During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, if any Advance is requested, such Advance shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.

Section 3.02. [Reserved.].

Section 3.03. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments to be made hereunder by or on account of any obligation of any Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law (including FATCA). If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Companies and the Administrative Agent, then the Companies, the Administrative Agent or the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Companies shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Companies. The Companies shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Companies. The Companies shall indemnify each Lender, within 13 Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Companies by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 13 Business Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Companies have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Companies to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection

 

62


with any document entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. 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 otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Companies to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Companies 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.

(f) Status of Secured Parties. (i) Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Companies and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Companies or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Companies or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Companies or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Companies or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Companies or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.03(f) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Companies and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Companies or the Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

64


(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Companies and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Companies or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Companies or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to 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 Companies and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Companies 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 Companies or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Companies and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Companies and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-

 

65


pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Financing Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) shall be a permitted transferee of the registration rights of the Companies under any Investment Agreement (the “Registration Rights”) upon transfer of the related Convertible Notes, Preferred Shares and/or the Common Stock in connection with the exercise of remedies under this Agreement. In addition, the Companies shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned the Registration Rights to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in connection with any foreclosure thereof or other exercise of remedies pursuant to this Agreement.

Interest Proceeds shall be retained in the applicable Collection Account and held in cash and/or invested (and reinvested) at the written direction of the Companies delivered to the Collateral Agent in dollar-denominated Cash Equivalents selected by the Companies (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a Market Value Cure Failure has occurred, in which case, selected by the Administrative Agent) (“Eligible Investments”). All investment income on such Eligible Investments shall constitute Interest Proceeds.

Interest Proceeds on deposit in the applicable Collection Account shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent (i) to be applied pursuant to the Interest Priority of Payments and (ii) at the written direction of the Companies (or, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Cure Failure, the Administrative Agent) to be remitted to the Administrative Agent to be applied to pay accrued and unpaid interest in respect of any repaid or prepaid portion of the Advances made in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.02. Principal Proceeds.

(a) The Companies shall notify the Underlying Issuer with respect to each Portfolio Investment to remit all amounts that constitute Principal Proceeds to the applicable Collection Account. To the extent Principal Proceeds are received other than by deposit into the applicable Collection Account, the Companies shall cause all Principal Proceeds received on the Portfolio Investments to be deposited in the applicable Collection Account or remitted to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall credit (or cause to be credited) to the applicable Collection Account all Principal Proceeds received by it immediately upon receipt thereof in accordance with the written direction of the Companies.

(b) All Principal Proceeds shall be retained in the applicable Collection Account and, if in the form of cash, held in cash and/or invested (and reinvested) at the written direction of the Administrative Agent in Eligible Investments selected by the Companies (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a Market Value Cure Failure has occurred, in which case, selected by the Administrative Agent). All investment income on such Eligible Investments shall constitute Interest Proceeds.

 

67


(c) Principal Proceeds on deposit in the applicable Collection Account shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent (i) to be applied pursuant to the Priority of Payments and (ii) at the written direction of the Companies (or, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Cure Failure, the Administrative Agent), to be remitted to the Administrative Agent to be applied to make prepayments of the Advances in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.03. Principal and Interest Payments; Prepayments; Commitment Fee. (a) The Companies shall pay the unpaid principal amount of each Advance (together with accrued interest thereon) in the currency in which such Advance was made to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the Maturity Date.

(b) Accrued interest on the Advances shall be payable in cash in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to the second sentence of Section 3.01(b) shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Advances, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment; provided further that, in the event amounts on deposit in the Collection Accounts (if any) on any Interest Payment Date are insufficient to pay such cash interest (any insufficient amount, the “PIK Interest”), then such PIK Interest shall be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Advances through the capitalization of such PIK Interest, unless a Company has provided written notice to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior to any Interest Payment Date that the Companies have elected to pay such insufficient amount in cash. Amounts representing the PIK Interest shall be added to the principal balance of the Advances on the Interest Payment Date that such PIK Interest would otherwise have been due and payable and shall thereafter bear interest at the interest rate applicable to the Advance. For the avoidance of doubt, PIK Interest shall not constitute the use of Financing Commitments. Each payment of interest on an Advance (including PIK Interest) shall be made in the currency in which such Advance was made.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 4.05(a) or Section 4.05(c), the Companies shall not have the right to prepay outstanding Advances at any time from and including the Effective Date to and including the date that is one year after the Effective Date (such period, the “Non-Call Period”). Subject to the requirements of this Section 4.03(c), other than during the Non-Call Period, each Company shall have the right from time to time to prepay outstanding Advances (which prepayment shall result in a termination of Financing Commitments to the extent required pursuant to Section 4.07) in whole or in part on any Business Day. Except in connection with a Market Value Cure, each Company shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator by electronic mail of any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.03(c) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date

 

68


and the principal amount of the Advances to be prepaid and the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to each Portfolio Investment to apply such prepayment in accordance with this Section 4.03(c); provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned 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 may be revoked by the Companies (by notice to the Administrative Agent, which shall deliver such notice to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, on or prior to the specified effective date of termination) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Except in connection with a Market Value Cure, each partial prepayment of outstanding Advances shall be in an amount not less than U.S.$5,000,000. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest and, at the request of any Lender in respect of any prepayment on a date other than an Interest Payment Date shall be accompanied by any costs incurred by such Lender in respect of the breakage of its funding at the Applicable Rate for the related Calculation Period. The Administrative Agent shall apply a prepayment of outstanding Advances made pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) first to any outstanding PIK Interest, and the Companies may direct the Administrative Agent to apply any remaining prepayment of outstanding Advances made pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) to any Allocated Loan Amount. All such prepayments shall be made in the currency of the applicable Advances and accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest in the same currency.

(d) The Companies agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee in accordance with the Priority of Payments which shall accrue at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the daily unused amount of the Financing Commitments of such Lender during the period from and including the effective date of such Financing Commitments to but excluding the last day of the related Investment Period. Accrued commitment fees shall be earned as of each Interest Payment Date, and as of the date on which the Financing Commitments terminate and shall be payable in accordance with the Interest Priority of Payments and the Principal Priority of Payments, as applicable. 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).

(e) As set forth in the Additional Terms Letter.

(f) [Reserved.]

(g) If a Facility Adjustment Event occurs in respect of any Portfolio Investment and the Administrative Agent determines that no adjustment could be made pursuant to Section 10.05 which would produce a commercially reasonably result, then the applicable Portfolio Investment underlying such Facility Adjustment Event shall be deemed to be an Ineligible Investment.

 

69


Section 4.04. MV Cure Accounts. Each Company shall cause all cash received by it in connection with a Market Value Cure to be deposited in the applicable MV Cure Account or remitted to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall credit to the MV Cure Accounts such amounts received by it (and identified in writing as such) immediately upon receipt thereof. Prior to the Maturity Date, all cash amounts in the MV Cure Accounts shall be invested in overnight Eligible Investments at the written direction of the Administrative Agent (as directed by the Required Lenders). All amounts contributed to the Companies by the Parents in connection with a Market Value Cure shall be paid free and clear of any right of chargeback or other equitable claim.

(b) [Reserved.]

All interest calculated using the Term SOFR Rate or the EURIBOR Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and all interest calculated using the Base Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days in each case, payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) If after receipt of an invoice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.06(a) and at least one (1) Business Day prior to any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, the Companies do not have a sufficient amount of funds in a Permitted Non-USD Currency on deposit in the Collateral Accounts that will be needed (1) to pay to the Lenders all of the amounts required to be paid in such Permitted Non-USD Currency on such date and/or (2) to pay any expenses required to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments, in each case, in the Permitted Non-USD Currency required for such payment (a “Currency Shortfall”), then, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Market Value Trigger Event has occurred, the applicable Company shall exchange, in each case with the consent of the Administrative Agent, amounts in U.S. Dollars held in the Collateral Accounts for such Permitted Non-USD Currency in an amount necessary to cure such Currency Shortfall. Each such exchange shall occur no later than one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as applicable, and shall be made at the Spot Rate. If for any reason the Companies shall have failed to effect any such currency exchange by such date, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (but shall not be obligated to) direct such currency exchange on behalf of the Companies.

(c) At any time following the occurrence of a Market Value Trigger Event or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion direct the Securities Intermediary, the Bank or the other financial institution maintaining such Collateral Account, as applicable, to exchange amounts held in any Permitted Non-USD Currency for U.S. Dollars at the Spot Rate for application hereunder.

Section 4.07. Termination or Reduction of Financing Commitments. (a) The Companies shall be entitled at their option to either terminate all or reduce in part the Financing Commitments. The Companies shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator by electronic mail of any termination or reduction, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 4.07 not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of termination or reduction, as applicable. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date of termination or reduction, as applicable, the principal amount of the Financing Commitments to be so terminated or reduced, as applicable, and the Delayed Draw Allocated Financing Commitment to be so terminated or reduced, as applicable; provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned 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 may be revoked by the Companies (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date of termination) 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 reduction of Financing Commitments shall be in an amount not less than U.S.$5,000,000. In addition, the Financing Commitments shall be automatically and irrevocably reduced by the amount of any prepayment of Advances pursuant to 4.03(c).

(a) Establishment and Maintenance of Collateral Accounts. Each Company hereby appoints Citibank, N.A. as Securities Intermediary to establish, and the Securities Intermediary does hereby establish, the applicable Securities Account for such Company. The Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain each Securities Account as a “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC), in the name of the applicable Company subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Company hereby appoints Citibank, N.A., as bank (in such capacity, the “Bank”) to establish, and the Bank does hereby establish, the applicable Collection Account(s) and MV Cure Account(s) for such Company (such accounts, along with any other “deposit account” as defined in UCC Article 9-102(a)(29), collectively, the “Deposit Accounts” and, together with the Securities Accounts, the “Collateral Accounts”). The Bank agrees to maintain each Deposit Account as a “bank” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC), in the name of the applicable Company subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

(b) Collateral Agent in Control of Collateral Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (1) each Securities Account shall be deemed to be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC), (2) each Deposit Account shall be deemed to be a “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(29) of the UCC), (3) all property credited to any Securities Account, including cash, shall be treated as a financial asset for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC and (4) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent will be exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to each Securities Account and to give instructions to the Bank directing the disposition of the funds in the Deposit Accounts. The parties hereto agree that the Securities Intermediary and the Bank (x) shall comply with entitlement orders and other instructions with respect to the Collateral Accounts originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent by any Company or any other Person and (y) shall not comply with entitlement orders or other instructions with respect to the Collateral Accounts delivered by any other Person.

(c) Subordination of Lien, Etc. If the Securities Intermediary or the Bank has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Collateral Account or any security entitlement or funds credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary and the Bank each hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent. The property credited to any Collateral Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Agent (except that the Securities Intermediary and the Bank may each set-off (1) all amounts due to it in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Collateral Accounts, and (2) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any Collateral Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

(d) Property Registered, Indorsed, etc. to Securities Intermediary.

(e) Jurisdiction; Governing Law of Accounts. The establishment and maintenance of each Collateral Account and all interests, duties and obligations related thereto shall be governed by the law of the State of New York and the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) with respect to the Securities Intermediary and the “bank’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) with respect to the Bank shall be, in each case, the State of New York. As permitted by Article 4 of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary (the “Hague Convention”), the parties hereto agree that the law of the State of New York shall govern each of the Securities Accounts and the issues specified in Article 2 of the Hague Conventions.

As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all the Companies’ obligations to the Agents and the Lenders, (collectively, the “Secured Parties”) under this Agreement (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), each Company hereby grants a continuing security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in all of such Company’s right, title and interest in, to and under (in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising) all accounts, payment intangibles, general intangibles, chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, investment property, and any and all other property of any type or nature owned by it (all of the property described in this clause (a) being collectively referred to herein as “Collateral”), including, without limitation: (i) each Portfolio Investment, including, without limitation, (A) any Convertible Notes then held by such Company, (B) any Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes then held by such Company are converted, (C) any Preferred Shares then held by such Company, (D) any Common Stock into which the Preferred Shares then held by such Company are converted and (E) any Non-Convertible Portfolio Investments then held by such Company, (ii) all of such Company’s interests in the Collateral Accounts and all investments, obligations and other property from time to time credited thereto, (iii) this Agreement and all rights related thereto, (iv) the Registration Rights and all other property of such Company and (v) all proceeds thereof, all accessions to and substitutions and replacements for, any of the foregoing, and all rents, profits and products of any thereof.

(b) Delivery and Other Perfection. In furtherance of the collateral arrangements contemplated herein, the Companies shall (i) Deliver to the Collateral Agent the Collateral hereunder as and when acquired by the Companies to the extent required for perfection; and (ii) if any of the securities, monies or other property pledged by the Companies hereunder are received by the Companies, forthwith take such action as is necessary to ensure the Collateral Agent’s continuing perfected security interest in such Collateral (including Delivering such securities, monies or other property to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Bank). Each Company hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file a UCC or PPSR financing statement listing “all assets of the debtor” (or substantially similar language) in the collateral description of such financing statement.

 

88


(c) Remedies, Etc. During the period in which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall (but only if and to the extent directed in writing by the Required Lenders) do any of the following:

(i) Exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s or its designee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent or a designee of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may deem commercially reasonable. The Companies agree that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least one (1) calendar day’s prior notice to the Companies of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent or its designee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned;

(ii) Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or a nominee thereof;

(iii) Enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto;

(iv) Endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in the Companies’ name to allow collection of the Collateral;

(v) Take control of any proceeds of the Collateral;

(vi) Execute (in the name, place and stead of any of the Companies) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral; and/or

(vii) Perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to do to protect the Collateral Agent’s rights and interest hereunder.

The Collateral Agent shall provide notice of any actions above to the Companies (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be promptly after the occurrence of such actions). The Administrative Agent may apply any proceeds realized upon an exercise of remedies to the Allocated Loan Amount of any Portfolio Investment in its sole discretion, regardless of the Portfolio Investment against which such remedies were exercised.

 

89


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Agent shall not have the right to transfer Clementia Portfolio Investments into the name of any person other than Clementia Holdco pursuant to an exercise of remedies hereunder except in connection with the sale of such Clementia Portfolio Investments pursuant to such exercise of remedies.

(d) Compliance with Restrictions. The Companies agree that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent or its designee are hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, or in order for each Lender to comply with the requirements of the Underlying Issuer Letters, and the Companies further agree that such compliance shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to the Companies for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in good faith compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

(e) Private Sale. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of a sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to clause (c) above conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Companies hereby waive any claims against each Agent and Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale. The Companies hereby agree that any sale of Collateral in accordance with the terms of the applicable Underlying Issuer Letter, including any private sale pursuant to any “right of first offer” or similar right specified therein, shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. The Companies hereby acknowledge that any such private sale may result in less proceeds upon sale than could have been realized by a public sale or by a private sale not subject to such “right of first offer” or similar right and agree that, notwithstanding that such sale may result in less proceeds, any such sale shall nevertheless be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Companies agree that any exchange of Portfolio Investments of Diamond for Portfolio Investments of Diamond Blocker, and any subsequent sale of such Portfolio Investments of Diamond Blocker, shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable.

 

90


(f) Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Company hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of such Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of such Company and in the name of such Company, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion (exercised at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be), after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Each Company hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this clause is irrevocable during the term of this Agreement and is coupled with an interest.

(g) [Reserved.]

(h) Further Assurances. The Companies covenant and agree that, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent), the Companies will execute and deliver such further documents, and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to protect and preserve the priority and validity of the security interest granted hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral; provided that no such document may alter the rights and protections afforded to the Companies herein or violate the terms of any Underlying Issuer Letter or Permitted Restrictive Condition.

(i) Termination. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and termination of the Financing Commitments, the security interest granted herein shall automatically (and without further action by any party) terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Companies. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the Companies’ sole expense, deliver to the Companies, or cause the Securities Intermediary or the Bank, as applicable, to deliver, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary or the Bank hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Companies or its nominee such documents as the Companies shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(j) No Rehypothecation. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and without limiting the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder following a Market Value Cure Failure), neither the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall have the right to rehypothecate, use, borrow, lend, pledge or sell any Collateral.

ARTICLE 9

THE AGENTS

Section 9.01. Appointment of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each, an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”) as its agent and authorizes such Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or the Australian Pledge, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Australian Pledge.

(b) Each financial institution serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such financial institution and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Companies as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

(c) No Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (x) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (y) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except that the foregoing shall not limit any duty expressly set forth in this Agreement to include such rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by (i) in the case of the Collateral Agent (A) in respect of the exercise of remedies under Section 8.02(c), the Required Lenders, or (B) in all other cases, the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any Agent, the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (z) except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Companies that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving in the capacity of such Agent (except insofar as provided to it as Agent hereunder) or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or with the consent or at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or Market Value Cure Failure unless and until a Responsible Officer has received written notice thereof from the Companies, a Lender or the Administrative Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (3) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, value or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other agreement,

 

92


instrument or document or the Collateral, or (5) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be required to risk or expend its own funds in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder if it reasonably believes it will not receive reimbursement therefor hereunder.

(d) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, direction, opinion, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Companies), independent accountants and other experts selected by it.

(e) In the event the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall receive conflicting instruction from the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, the instruction of the Required Lenders shall govern. Neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations under or in respect of any other agreement (including any agreement that may be referenced herein) to which it is not a party. The grant of any permissive right or power to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall not be construed to impose a duty to act.

(f) It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not be under any duty to monitor or determine, compliance with the Eligibility Criteria in any instance, to determine if the conditions of “Deliver” have been satisfied or otherwise to monitor or determine compliance by any other Person with the requirements of this Agreement.

(g) Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. No Agent shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any sub-agent or attorney appointed by such Agent with due care. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Person and its Affiliates (the “Related Parties”) for such Agent. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each 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 or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

(h) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’ notice to each other agent, the Lenders and the Companies. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right (with, so long as (1) no Event of Default of the type

 

93


set forth in Section 7(a), (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing, (2) no Market Value Cure Failure has occurred or (3) no Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 7(c), (h), (i) or (j) has occurred for 15 or more calendar days, the consent of the Companies (any circumstance referred to in the preceding clauses (1), (2) and (3) that negates the consent right of the Companies being herein referred to as a “Non-Consent Situation”)) to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor (with, absent a Non-Consent Situation, the consent of the Companies) which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring agent gives notice of its resignation, such agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring agent, and the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the retiring agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

(i) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time with 30 days’ notice by any Company (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent), with notice to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Lenders. Upon any such removal, any Company shall have the right (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent) to appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable. If no successor to any such Person shall have been so appointed by a Company and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after such notice of removal, then the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution with the prior written consent of each Company. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed agent, and the removed agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the removed agent’s removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such removed 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 it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

 

94


(j) Upon the request of any Company or the Administrative Agent or the successor agent, such retiring or removed agent shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring or removed agent, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor agent all property and money held by such retiring or removed agent hereunder. Upon request of any such successor agent, the Companies and the Administrative Agent shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor agent all such rights, powers and trusts.

(k) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(l) Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if such Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(m) All calculations and determinations made by the Administrative Agent shall be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of such Agent or the Collateral Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent or the Collateral Administrator was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct.

(n) Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement, direction or opinion furnished to it in connection with this Agreement.

(o) Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, consent, order, approval, bond or other document or have any responsibility for filing or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or Lien granted to it hereunder.

 

95


(p) In the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Agents, the Agents may conclusively rely, as to the truth of statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instruction, certificate, opinion or other document expressed therein, upon any request, instruction, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to the Agents, reasonably believed by the Agents to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the property party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of a request, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Agents, the Agents shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement to determine that it conforms to the form required by such provision.

(q) No Agent shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots and acts of war. In connection with any payment, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are entitled to rely conclusively on any instructions provided to them by the Administrative Agent.

(r) The rights and protections given to the Agents in this Section 9.01 shall likewise be available and applicable to the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator.

Section 9.02. Additional Provisions Relating to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator.

(a) Collateral Agent May Perform. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time take such action (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein and the Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent in writing to take any action incidental thereto; provided that in each case the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any such action in the absence of such direction and shall have no obligation to comply with any such direction if it reasonably believes that the same (i) is contrary to Applicable Law or (ii) is reasonably likely to subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, issuing such instruction make provision reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent.

If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent shall request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder.

 

96


(b) Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided that (i) the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as any Company reasonably requests at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens thereon.

(c) Collateral Agent Not Liable. Except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal conduct, fraud or reckless disregard of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable by reason of its compliance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to (i) the investment of funds held thereunder in Eligible Investments (other than for losses attributable to the Collateral Agent’s failure to make payments on investments issued by the Collateral Agent, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as Collateral Agent, in accordance with their terms) or (ii) losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity.

(d) Certain Rights and Obligations of the Collateral Agent. Without further consent or authorization from any Lenders, the Collateral Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale, conversion, redemption or other disposition or transfer of assets permitted by this Agreement or as otherwise permitted or required hereunder or to which the Required Lenders have otherwise consented. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale during an Event of Default, any Agent or Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender in its individual capacity unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree), 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 the purchaser at such sale.

(e) Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary and Collateral Administrator Fees and Expenses. The Companies agree to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator such fees as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, may agree in writing, subject to the Priority of Payments. The Companies further agree to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, or reimburse the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator for paying, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including attorney’s fees, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the Priority of Payments.

 

97


(f) Execution by the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are executing this Agreement solely in their capacity as Collateral Agent and Collateral Administrator hereunder and in no event shall have any obligation to make any Advance, provide any Advance or perform any obligation of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

(g) Reports by the Collateral Administrator. The Companies hereby appoint Virtus Group, LP as Collateral Administrator and directs the Collateral Administrator to prepare the reports substantially in the form reasonably agreed by the Companies, the Collateral Administrator and the Administrative Agent.

(h) Information Provided to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator. Without limiting the generality of any terms of this Section, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall have liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Companies or the Required Lenders to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and, absent gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal conduct, fraud or reckless disregard of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Agent’s or Collateral Administrator’s, as applicable, part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01. Non-Petition; Limited Recourse. Each of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, and the Collateral Administrator hereby agrees not to commence, or join in the commencement of, any proceedings in any jurisdiction for the bankruptcy, winding-up or liquidation of the Companies or any similar proceedings, in each case prior to the date that is one year and one day (or if longer, any applicable preference period plus one day) after the payment in full of all amounts owing to the parties hereto. The foregoing restrictions are a material inducement for the parties hereto to enter into this Agreement and are an essential term of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent or the Companies may seek and obtain specific performance of such restrictions (including injunctive relief), including, without limitation, in any bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation or similar proceedings. The Companies shall promptly object to the institution of any bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation or similar proceedings against it and take all necessary or advisable steps to cause the dismissal of any such proceeding; provided that such obligation shall be subject to the availability of funds therefor. Nothing in this Section 10.01 shall limit the right of any party hereto to file any claim or otherwise take any action with respect to any proceeding of the type described in this Section that was instituted by the Companies or against the Companies by any Person other than a party hereto.

 

98

All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when (a) transmitted by facsimile, (b) personally delivered, (c) in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, or (d) in the case of notices and communications transmitted by electronic mail or any other electronic messaging system, upon delivery, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. Any notice to any Company shall be deemed validly given if given to the applicable General Partner.

Section 10.03. No Waiver. No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 

99

The rights of each Lender under this clause (d) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 10.05. Amendments(a) . (a) Subject to Section 3.01(h)(ii), no amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including, without limitation, a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission or electronic mail) and executed by each of the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Required Lenders and each Company; provided further that the Administrative Agent may waive any of the Eligibility Criteria and the requirements set forth in Schedule 3 or Schedule 4 to the Additional Terms Letter in its sole discretion; provided further that none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be required to execute any amendment that affects its rights, duties or protections without its consent; provided further that any Material Amendment shall require the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of any Facility Adjustment Event, the Administrative Agent shall (a) adjust one or more of the terms or provisions of this Agreement as the Administrative Agent determines necessary to account for the effect of the Facility Adjustment Event on the credit facility contemplated by this Agreement (unless the Administrative Agent determines that no such adjustment is necessary) and (b) determine the effective time of the adjustment (and in the case of a Portfolio Investment of a Public Underlying Issuer, may take into account, among other factors, volatility, correlation, liquidity and free float of the applicable Portfolio Investment).

(c) To the extent reasonably practicable and requested by any Company, Administrative Agent shall consult in good faith with such Company regarding any such adjustments; provided that, if Administrative Agent determines that it is advisable to notify Lenders of its proposed adjustment prior to the end of the second Business Day immediately following the occurrence of any Facility Adjustment Event, then Administrative Agent shall be entitled to so notify Lenders; and provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the ultimate determination of such adjustment shall be within the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, subject to the rights of the Required Lenders described below in this paragraph. Within two Business Days following the occurrence of any Facility Adjustment Event, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the adjustments to the terms or provisions of this Agreement that it proposes to make in respect thereof, and the proposed effective time therefor (or its determination that no such adjustment is necessary). If, within three Business Days of receiving such notice, Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent that they disagree with such proposed

 

101


adjustments or effective time (or Administrative Agent’s determination that no such adjustment is necessary), and include in such notice an alternative set of adjustments that Required Lenders propose to make in respect of such Facility Adjustment Event, and a proposed effective time therefor, then Administrative Agent shall notify the Companies that such alternative adjustments apply as of such effective time. Except with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not make any adjustment in respect of a Facility Adjustment Event or notify the Companies of its determination that no such adjustment is necessary prior to the earlier of (i) the fifth Business Day following the occurrence thereof and (ii) its receipt of notice from Required Lenders of any alternative adjustments (and a proposed effective time therefor) or that they agree with Administrative Agent’s proposed adjustments (and the effective time therefor). Any such adjustments pursuant to this paragraph shall be binding on all parties hereto and all such parties shall enter into such documentation required or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to reflect such adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Companies shall have the right, exercisable within two (2) Business Days of receipt of notice of the adjustment otherwise to be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, to notify the Administrative Agent that the Companies disagree with such adjustment and to elect that the adjustment proposed by the Administrative Agent shall not apply and that, instead, the applicable Portfolio Investment shall be deemed to be an Ineligible Investment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to making any adjustment following the occurrence of a Specified Facility Adjustment Event, the Administrative Agent shall give the Companies a reasonable opportunity to make arrangements with Diamond such that the Diamond Portfolio Investments shall not be subject to Transfer Restrictions other than the Transfer Restrictions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of Permitted Transfer Restrictions; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to delay such adjustment beyond such time as the Administrative Agent shall determine is prudent in its sole discretion; and provided, further, that if the Administrative Agent makes any adjustment in respect of a Specified Facility Adjustment Event and the relevant initial public offering is withdrawn, the Administrative Agent shall rescind such adjustment upon such withdrawal.

Section 10.06. Successors; Assignments. (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, subject to Section 6.02(r), the Companies and the General Partners may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Companies or the General Partners without such consent shall be null and void). Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

102


(b) Subject to the conditions set forth below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent and any Company; provided that (i) no consent of the Administrative Agent or any Company shall be required for an assignment of any Financing Commitment or Advance (A) to an assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or (B) to any Eligible Assignee and (ii) no consent of any Company shall be required if a Non-Consent Situation exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or condition herein to the contrary, no such assignment shall be made to (x) a natural person or (y) a Disqualified Institution.

Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (i) 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; and (ii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof below, 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 as a Lender but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.04).

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Companies, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each assignment and assumption delivered to it and the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the parties hereto 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Companies and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of a duly completed assignment and assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment and assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(c) Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Lender Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent and any Company; provided that (1) no consent of the Administrative Agent or any Company shall be required for a participation (a) to a Lender Participant that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such participation or (b) to any Eligible Assignee and (2) no consent of any Company shall be required if a Non-Consent Situation exists; provided, further, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and

 

103


(iii) the Companies, the Agents 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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

(d) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Companies, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Lender Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Lender Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Lender Participant or any information relating to a Lender Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations hereunder) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or any successor provision. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Companies agree that each Lender Participant shall be entitled through the Lender granting such participation (and for the avoidance of doubt shall have no direct rights against any Company) to the benefits of Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.03(f) shall be delivered to the Lender that sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Lender Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.01(f) relating to replacement of Lenders as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.06 and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03, with respect to any participation, than the Lender that sells the participation 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 Lender Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Companies’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Companies to effectuate the replacement of Lenders provisions set forth in Section 3.01(f) with respect to any Lender Participant.
