Item 3. Source of Funds.
The Class B Common Stock was issued to Cano America, LLC as consideration in connection with the Business Combination (as described below). Dr. Hernandez was a member of Cano America, LLC.
On June 3, 2021 (the Closing Date), Jaws Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and our predecessor company (Jaws), consummated the previously announced business combination (the Business Combination) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 11, 2020 (as amended, the Business Combination Agreement) by and among Jaws Acquisition Corp. (Jaws), Jaws Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Merger Sub), Primary Care (ITC) Intermediate Holdings, LLC (PCIH) and PCIHs sole member, Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC (Seller). Terms used herein but not defined shall have the respective meanings as set forth in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus (the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) included in Jaws Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-252414), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on January 25, 2021, as amended.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, Jaws changed its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the Domestication), upon which Jaws changed its name to Cano Health, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the Company). Following the Domestication of Jaws to the State of Delaware, Jaws acquired certain equity interests of PCIH from Seller, its sole member, by way of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, merging with and into PCIH, and becoming a direct subsidiary of the Company as a result thereof (the Business Combination). An aggregate of 306,843,662 shares of Class B Common Stock were issued in exchange for the shares of PCIH outstanding as o f immediately prior to the Closing Date, including shares of Class B Common Stock issued to Cano America, LLC.
On August 17, 2021, Cano America, LLC distributed its shares of Class B Common Stock to its members, including Dr. Hernandez. Dr. Hernandez transferred all of the shares of Class B Common Stock to Holdings on August 20, 2021. Holdings has pledged all 22,034,622 shares of Class B Common Stock it holds in connection with a financing arrangement pursuant to a Margin Loan Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2021, among Holdings, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A. The agreements memorializing the financing arrangement contain customary default provisions and in the event of a default under such agreements the counterparties may foreclose upon any and all shares of the Issuers Common Stock pledged to them. Upon foreclosure, the counterparties would exchange the Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock prior to making any public sales of the pledged securities. A copy of the Margin Loan Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit D and is incorporated by reference.
The following tables set forth all transactions with respect to the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Public Warrants effected by the Reporting Persons in the 60 days prior to the date of this Statement.

(i) If such requested release is for a release of Cash or Cash Equivalents constituting Collateral (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Ordinary Cash Dividends) or Other Acceptable Collateral (in each case, other than in the circumstances described in clause (iii)), as long as on the date of such release:
(A) the LTV Ratio, for a period of at least three consecutive Business Days prior to the date Borrower delivers such written request, and immediately after giving effect to, such release shall not exceed the LTV Release Level (or, if such release request is for a release of Cash or Cash Equivalents constituting Tax Distributions (as defined in the PCIH LLC Agreement) the LTV Ratio immediately after giving effect to such release shall not exceed the LTV Margin Call Level); and
(B) no Mandatory Prepayment Event shall have occurred (unless such Mandatory Prepayment Event has been cured or waived) and no Default, Event of Default or Adjustment Determination Period shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such release.
34
(ii) If such requested release is for a release of Collateral Shares, Class B Collateral Shares or Collateral Units for the purpose of settling sales of such Collateral Shares (or the Collateral Shares obtained upon exchange of such Collateral Units, together with the surrender and cancellation of the same n umber of Class B Collateral Shares) for Cash (any such sale, a Permitted Sale Transaction), as long as, (x) in the case of any Permitted Sale Transaction to cure a Collateral Shortfall, Borrower uses Custodian (or its Affiliate) as the broker for such sales and (y) on the date of such release:
(A) (I) 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Permitted Sale Transaction will be credited, on a delivery versus payment basis against the delivery of the relevant Collateral Shares from any Collateral Account, to such Collateral Account or pursuant to other settlement and escrow arrangements reasonably acceptable to each Applicable Lender and (II) the LTV Ratio immediately following execution of such Permitted Sale Transaction shall not exceed the LTV Maintenance Level;
(B) no Mandatory Prepayment Event shall have occurred (unless such Mandatory Prepayment Event has been cured or waived) and no Default, Event of Default or Adjustment Determination Period shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such release.
(iii) If such requested release is for a release of Cash or Cash Equivalents constituting Collateral (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Ordinary Cash Dividends), Other Acceptable Collateral, Collateral Shares, Class B Collateral Shares or Collateral Units that is not pursuant to clause (ii) above, as long as on the date of such release and following such release the Collateral Account contains sufficient Cash or Cash Equivalents equal to the principal amount of all Advances outstanding, plus all fees and interest with respect to such Advances through the Scheduled Maturity Date.
(e) Posting Additional Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, on at least two Business Days notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower may post Cash or Cash Equivalents constituting Acceptable Collateral or Other Acceptable Collateral (which Other Acceptable Collateral may not include Collateral Shares, Class B Collateral Shares or Collateral Units) to the Collateral Accounts at any time; provided that each type of Collateral shall be posted to Collateral Accounts to be provided to the Applicable Lenders, on a Pro Rata Basis; provided further that such Collateral to be posted under this Section 2.06(e) at any one time shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, and such posted Collateral shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the LTV Ratio on the Business Day on which such Collateral is posted unless such Collateral is deposited into the Collateral Accounts, with a SWIFT code evidencing such posting to be furnished to Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day. Borrower shall cause the Company or its transfer agent to deposit into, or credit to, the relevant Collateral Accounts, or, in the case of any property or assets other than Cash and securities entitlements, deliver to Custodian (subject to the Applicable Lenders reasonable delivery instructions), any Ordinary Cash Dividends and any Extraordinary Distribution paid or distributed on the Collateral Shares or any securities or securities entitlements (x) exchanged for, or delivered upon conversion, of the Collateral Shares in a Merger Event or (y) delivered in respect of the Collateral Shares in connection with a Spin-off, and if any such Cash, securities,
35
securities entitlements or other property or assets are received by Borrower for any reason, Borrower shall make such deposit or delivery as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than two Business Days following such receipt (and pending such delivery, shall hold such property in trust for the Applicable Lenders), subject, in each case, to any subsequent release thereof in accordance with Section 2.06(d). Borrower shall not tender any Collateral Shares in any exchange offer (including, without limitation, a Split-off) without the consent of each Lender.
(f) Any partial prepayment pursuant to Subsections (a) or (c)(ii) of this Section 2.06 shall be allocated, on a Pro Rata Basis, to any Advances then outstanding in the order specified by Borrower in the notice delivered by Borrower pursuant to Subsection (a) or (c), as applicable (or, if not so specified shall be allocated, on a Pro Rata Basis).
Section 2.07. Increased Costs; Break Funding.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;
(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender or participation therein; or
(iii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnified Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (3) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining the Advances hereunder (or of maintaining its Commitments) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reasonable additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, unless otherwise waived by such Lender.
(b) If a 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 Lenders capital or on the capital of such Lenders 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 Lenders holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lenders policies and the policies of such Lenders holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lenders holding company for any actual losses with respect to such reduction.
36
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts (and the calculation thereof) necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph )a( or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to Administrative Agent, who shall deliver or cause to be delivered such certificate to Borrower. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lenders right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lenders 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.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.07 or Borrower must pay increased amounts or any amounts for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 2.08, then the applicable Lender will, if requested by Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Advance, or portion thereof, affected by the relevant event if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation would (i) avoid the requirement for or reduce the amount of such compensation, increased amounts or amounts for Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that such efforts need only be made on terms that, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided further that nothing in this Section 2.07(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(a) through (d) or Section 2.08. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation.
(f) Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request (in the form of a certificate) by such Lender (which certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts and shall be conclusive absent manifest error), for all reasonable loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) deemed to be incurred by it (determined pursuant to the following paragraph) as a result of:
(i) any payment or prepayment of an Advance on a day other than an Interest Payment Date (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
(ii) any failure by Borrower to prepay or borrow any Advance on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance in breach of its obligation hereunder).
37
Such loss, cost or expense for any Lender shall be deemed to be an amount determined by such Lender equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Advance had such event not occurred, at the reference interest rate that would have been applicable to such Advance, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then-current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Advance), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.
(g) All of Borrowers obligations under this Section 2.07 shall survive termination of the Facility and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
Section 2.08. Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Margin Loan Documentation shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then 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 Borrower 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 2.08) each Lender or Administrative Agent 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 Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.08, Borrower shall deliver to 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 Administrative Agent.
(d) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Lender or Administrative Agent, within 10 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 2.08) payable or paid by such Lenders or Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from any payment to such Lender or Administrative Agent 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
38
(e) Status of Lenders.
(i) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Taxes with respect to payments made under any Margin Loan Documentation, it shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or 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 2.08(e)(ii)(A)(C) below) shall not be required if in a Lenders 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) Each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and Borrower on or before it becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time as may be necessary thereafter, duly completed copies of IRS Form W- 8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-9, as may be applicable, together with any required attachments or certifications, if required to establish that such Lender is exempt from U.S. withholding taxes. The Administrative Agent shall deliver on or before it becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time as may be necessary thereafter, duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-9, as may be applicable, together with any required attachments, to Borrower, if required to establish that the Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of any Lender or Administrative Agent is required to provide any form that they are not legally eligible to provide.
(B) If Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Borrower on or before the date it becomes Administrative Agent under this Agreement a duly completed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying either (a) its status as a qualified intermediary, its assumption of primary U.S. federal income tax withholding responsibility for purposes of chapter 3 and chapter 4 of the Code and its assumption of primary IRS Form 1099 reporting and U.S. federal income backup withholding responsibility or (b) that it is a U.S branch of a foreign bank and that it agrees to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to any payments associated with such IRS Form W-8IMY.
39
(C) If a payment made to a Lender under any Margin Loan Documentation 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 Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lenders obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (B), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(D) Each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or before the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the U.S. withholding or deduction required to be made.
Each Lender and Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender or Administrative Agent 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 2.08 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08), it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.08 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or Administrative Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or Administrative Agent, shall repay to such Lender or Administrative Agent the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender or Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will any Lender or Administrative Agent be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place such Lender or Administrative Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender or Administrative Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or
40
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 Lender or Administrative Agent to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
(g) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lenders failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(c) 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 Administrative Agent in connection with any Margin Loan Documentation, 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 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Margin Loan Documentation or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g).
(h) Borrower shall deliver to each Agent, on or before the Closing Date (and thereafter promptly from time to time upon the reasonable request of an Agent), a duly executed copy of the appropriate IRS Form W-9 (along with any applicable attachments) certifying that it is (or if it is disregarded, its regarded owner is) a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Borrower shall promptly notify the applicable Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide the IRS Form or documentation described in this paragraph (h). If treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes, Borrower shall timely make such elections as permitted by law and shall follow the procedures required in connection with such elections so as not to be liable for any imputed underpayment under Section 6225 of the Code.
(i) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation that it is legally entitled to deliver and that is reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in order to permit a Lender or Lenders, to the extent reasonably possible, to minimize any potential withholding Tax upon the receipt of distribution or income with respect to Collateral or upon a foreclosure sale of any Collateral or other disposition of any Collateral. The Lenders or the Administrative Agent as applicable shall be entitled to calculate any distribution or income, amounts or valuation with respect to the Collateral under the Margin Loan Documentation net of any withholding Tax or other Tax that may be imposed upon such income or distribution or any prospective sale or transfer of any Collateral (including upon an exercise of remedies by the Lenders).
(j) For purposes of this Section 2.08, the term applicable Law included FATCA.
(k) Each partys obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Margin Loan Documentation.
41
Section 2.09. Illegality.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent that any Law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to perform its obligations to make or maintain Advances hereunder at LIBOR, the obligation of such Lender to make such Advances at LIBOR shall be terminated and all such Advances shall become Advances at the Alternate Rate either on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Advances at LIBOR to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain the Advances at LIBOR.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent that any Law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to perform its obligations to make or maintain any Advance hereunder (but excluding such circumstances described in clause (a) above), the obligation of such Lender to make such Advance shall be terminated, and such Advance, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to such Lender shall become due and payable either on the last day of the then current Interest Period, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Advance to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Advance to such day.
Section 2.10. Evidence Of Debt.
(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b) Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will 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 Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder from Borrower and each Lenders Applicable Percentage thereof.
(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to Subsection (a) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d) No promissory note shall be required to evidence the Advances by Lenders to Borrower. Upon the request of a Lender, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by such Lender, which shall evidence the Advances to Borrower by such Lender in addition to such records. 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 and its registered assigns.
42
Section 2.11. Payments And Computations.
(a) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day when due (subject to Section 2.06, with respect to any payment made to cure a Collateral Shortfall or made with respect to a Mandatory Prepayment Event, as applicable) in Dollars to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its share, determined on a Pro Rata Basis (or other applicable basis as provided herein), of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (subject to Section 2.06, with respect to any payment made to cure a Collateral Shortfall or made with respect to a Mandatory Prepayment Event, as applicable) and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) Whenever any payment hereunder would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees, as the case may be.
(c) All payments (including prepayments and, subject to Section 2.12, any other amounts received hereunder in connection with the exercise of any Applicable Lenders rights after an Event of Default) made by Borrower to Administrative Agent under any Margin Loan Documentation shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order, ratably in accordance with the percentage of any such amounts owed to each Lender: (A) any expenses and indemnities payable by Borrower to Lenders under any Margin Loan Documentation; (B) to any accrued and unpaid interest and any fees (including any Commitment Fees) due under this Agreement; (C) to principal payments on the outstanding Advances; and (D) to the extent of any excess, to the payment of all other Obligations under the Margin Loan Documentation.
Section 2.12. Accelerating Lenders.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to clause (b) below), if one or more Lenders become Accelerating Lenders:
(i) each Accelerating Lender, solely for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of such Lender vis á vis Borrower, shall be deemed to be:
(A) Administrative Agent and Calculation Agent hereunder; and
(B) the sole Lender hereunder for all purposes and, for the avoidance of doubt, no other Lenders consent shall be necessary for any modification of such rights and obligations; and
43
(ii) solely for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of all Lenders that are not Accelerating Lenders among themselves and vis á vis Borrower:
(A) each Accelerating Lender shall be deemed to no longer be a Lender hereunder and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Accelerating Lenders consent shall not be necessary for any modification of such rights and obligations; and
(B) if Administrative Agent or Calculation Agent is an Accelerating Lender, a replacement therefor shall be selected from among the Lenders that are not Accelerating Lenders as if such Agent had resigned.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following one or more Lenders becoming Accelerating Lenders, Borrower, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not make any payments of its Obligations or post any Collateral except on a Pro Rata Basis (without regard to clause (a) above). For the avoidance of doubt, the application of proceeds received by an Applicable Lender in respect of an exercise of its remedies under the Margin Loan Documentation shall not be considered a payment by Borrower for purposes of this Section 2.12(b).
Section 2.13. Administrative Agents Clawback.
(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lenders Advance, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender that has a Commitment hereunder with respect to the Closing Date has made the relevant Advance available on such date in accordance with Section 2.01 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made the relevant Advance available to Administrative Agent, then such Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the Applicable Rate. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such Advance to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lenders Advance included in such borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.
(b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
44
distribute to Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Advances and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.04(e) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance or to make any payment under Section 9.04(e) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Advance or to make its payment under Section 9.04(e).
Section 2.14. Extension of Maturity.
(a) Borrower Request. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may, after the Closing Date but prior to the date that is 30 days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date of an Advance, by written notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Lender), request an extension of the Scheduled Maturity Date of such Advance by one (1) year, once during the life of the Facility. Each Lender shall accept or decline, in its sole discretion not later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice by Administrative Agent, to such one (1) year extension with respect to such Lenders Advance. Such one (1) year extension shall become effective as of such date on which conditions precedent in Section 4.02 have been satisfied (such date, the Maturity Extension Effective Date).
(b) Terms of Extensions. On the Maturity Extension Effective Date, the Scheduled Maturity Date for each Lender that agreed to such extension (such Lenders, the Extension Lenders) shall be extended one (1) year, and Administrative Agent shall update Schedule I to reflect the Scheduled Maturity Date(s) for the Advances of such Extension Lenders and make any other related administrative or technical changes to the Margin Loan Documentation that Borrower and Administrative Agent determine are necessary or appropriate, which do not adversely affect the rights or obligations of any Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, any such Advances that have been extended shall be on the same terms and conditions as the other Advances but for the Scheduled Maturity Date and for such administrative or technical changes.
(c) Equal and Ratable Benefit. Any Advances extended as a result of the maturity extensions pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall continue to constitute Advances hereunder, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, the Margin Loan Documentation, and shall, without limiting the foregoing benefit equally and ratably from the security interests created by the Security Documents. The parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such maturity extensions.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Margin Loan Documentation, when all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) owing to any Lender have been paid in full, upon request of Borrower, such Lender shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any other Lender) take such actions as shall be reasonably required to release its security interest in all Collateral under such Lenders control.

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Advances of such Applicable Lender (and/or any Agented Lender with respect to such Applicable Lender, as applicable); and

(b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, including for the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent sending an Event of Default Notice at the direction of any Lender, if such Agent believes in good faith that the related Event of Default is of a type that would entitle such Lender to issue such direction) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Facility Adjustment Event, Potential Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default unless and until Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to such Agent describing such Facility Adjustment Event, Potential Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default and such event or events.

In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer or Authorized Representative of an Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance.

Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of an Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this ARTICLE 8 and Margin Loan Documentation (as though such sub-agents were an Agent hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
Section 8.06. Resignation of Agent. An Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and not have been cured or waived)), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the Lender Appointment Period), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and of the effective date of such retiring Agents resignation which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and
69
accepted such appointment, the retiring Agents resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 8.06. The successor shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default that has not been cured or waived (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance of a successors appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as an Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and/or under the other Margin Loan Documentation but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 8.06). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agents resignation hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation, the provisions of this ARTICLE 8 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 the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time any Agent ceases to be a Lender hereunder, such Agent shall be deemed to have provided its notice of resignation, which notice shall be automatically effective as of the date such Agent ceased to be a Lender hereunder.
Section 8.07. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.
(a) Each Lender confirms to the Agents, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making its portion of the Facility and (z) taking or not taking actions hereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making its portion of the Facility is suitable and appropriate for it.

71
(b) At any time, if (i) (A) the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein) shall have delivered a written request, pursuant to Section 8.03(a), for any Agent to take any action hereunder, and (B) such Agent shall have failed to take such action (other than in accordance with the proviso set forth in Section 8.03(a)) by 8:00 p.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day that such request is sent to such Agent (or by 9:00 a.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day following such request, if such request is made after 5:00 p.m. on a Scheduled Trading Day or on a day that is not a Scheduled Trading Day), (ii) (A) the Required Lenders shall have delivered a written request, pursuant to Section 8.03(a), for any Agent to refrain from taking any action hereunder and (B) such Agent shall have nonetheless taken such action (other than in accordance with the proviso set forth in Section 8.03(a)), (iii) the Required Lenders have requested that the Calculation Agent submit any proposed calculation, adjustment or determination to Borrower in accordance with Section 9.01 or Section 9.18(b) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a request by the Required Lenders to the Calculation Agent to submit proposed adjustments in respect of a Facility Adjustment Event or Potential Facility Adjustment Event that the Required Lenders determine to has occurred, provided that any such determination must be made by the Required Lenders in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) and the Calculation Agent shall fail to submit such calculation, adjustment or determination by 8:00 p.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day that such request is sent to the Calculation Agent (or by 9:00 a.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day following such request, if such request is made after 5:00 p.m. on a Scheduled Trading Day or on a day that is not a Scheduled Trading Day) or (iv) an Insolvency Event shall occur with respect to any Agent or its ultimate parent, in each case of clause (i) through (iv) above, the Required Lenders shall have the right to remove such Agent and appoint a successor thereto, which shall be one of the Lenders party hereto at such time or an Affiliate thereof.

Section 8.10. Erroneous Payments.
(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender such Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, a Payment Recipient) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an Erroneous Payment) and demands the return of
72
such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, such Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.10(b).
(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Margin Loan Documentation, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
73
(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency), upon the Administrative Agents notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and such Lender shall deliver any promissory notes evidencing such Advances to Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and pursuant to Section 9.07 and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advances (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold an Advance (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Margin Loan Documentation with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights).
(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Administrative Agent from Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on discharge for value or any similar doctrine.
74
(g) Each partys obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Margin Loan Documentation.

75
(i) modify this Section 9.01 or any other provision herein that expressly requires the consent of all Lenders or Required Lenders for any matter or the definition of Required Lenders; or
(j) modify the second paragraph of the Parent Agreement or release either Parent from their obligations under, the Parent Agreement, or limit the Lenders or Administrative Agents recourse to either Parent or their property under the Parent Agreement.
provided further that (i) the provisions set forth in ARTICLE 8 shall not be waived, amended, modified or supplemented, nor any consent granted to any deviation thereto, without the consent of each Agent affected thereby and (ii) neither Section 2.07 nor Section 2.08 shall be amended or waived in a way that adversely affects any Lender without such Lenders consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender agrees with each other Lender and with Borrower that no amendment, termination or supplement shall be made to any Security Document or Issuer Agreement, and no new Margin Loan Documentation shall be entered into with any Lender (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Section 2.12), unless a substantially identical amendment, termination or supplement is made to each other Security Document or Issuer Agreement or substantially identical Margin Loan Documentation is entered into with each other Lender, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of any Facility Adjustment Event or Potential Facility Adjustment Event, Calculation Agent shall, unless the Calculation Agent reasonably determines that no adjustment hereunder is necessary or commercially reasonable, (x) adjust one or more of the terms or provisions of the Facility, in each case solely with respect to the Collateral, as the Calculation Agent determines necessary to account for the effect of such Facility Adjustment Event or Potential Facility Adjustment Event on the Facility (and in making such adjustment, the Calculation Agent may take into account, among other factors, changes in volatility, correlation, liquidity and free float of the Shares or any other Collateral relative to those variables as of the Closing Date, and Transfer Restrictions with respect to the Shares or, if applicable, any other Collateral) and adding additional Mandatory Prepayment Events and (y) determine the effective time of the adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments made under this Section 9.01 shall be made notwithstanding the fact that a Mandatory Prepayment Event or Event of Default may have occurred and/or be continuing, and such adjustments may be deemed effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such Mandatory Prepayment Event or Event of Default. Within two Business Days following the occurrence of any Facility Adjustment Event or any Potential Facility Adjustment Event, Calculation Agent shall notify each Lender of the adjustments to the terms or provisions of the Facility 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 Calculation Agent that they disagree with such proposed adjustments or effective time (or Calculation Agents 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 or such
76
Potential Facility Adjustment Event that comply with the provisions set forth in Section 9.18(a) (which shall apply for this purpose as if the Lenders sending such notice were the Calculation Agent), and a proposed effective time therefor, then Calculation Agent shall notify Borrower that such alternative adjustments apply as of such effective time. Except with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, Calculation Agent shall not make any adjustment in respect of a Facility Adjustment Event or Potential Facility Adjustment Event or notify Borrower of its determination that no such adjustment is necessary prior to the earlier of (A) the fifth Business Day following the occurrence thereof and (B) its receipt of notice from Required Lenders of any alternative adjustments (and a proposed effective time therefor) or that they agree with Calculation Agents proposed adjustments (and the effective time therefor). Subject to Section 9.18(a), any such adjustments pursuant to this paragraph shall be binding on all parties to the Margin Loan Documentation and all such parties shall enter into such documentation required or reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to reflect such adjustments.
The parties hereby agree that, in the event that the Borrower proposes to effect a Change of Control and/or a replacement of either Parent as the direct equityholder of the Borrower, including in connection with bona fide estate or tax planning, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend to this Agreement and the Margin Loan Documentation, as applicable, to make such modifications as may be reasonable under the circumstances, taking into account the interests of the Borrower and its direct and indirect equityholders of in connection with any bona fide estate or tax planning purpose.

In addition, each Lender agrees to notify Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.
78
(d) Reliance by Lenders. Each Agent and Lender shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with any Agent or any Lender may be recorded by such Agent or such Lender, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
Section 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies.
(a) No failure or delay of any Lender or any Agent in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Documentation shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Agents and Lenders hereunder and under any other Margin Loan Documentation are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Margin Loan Documentation or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.01, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Agents and Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of an Advance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, regardless of whether Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time.
(b) The Advances are made with full recourse to Borrower and constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated Indebtedness of Borrower.
(c) Borrower and Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan Documentation collectively are intended to constitute a securities contract as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that each delivery, transfer, payment and grant of a security interest made or required to be made hereunder or contemplated hereby or made, required to be made or contemplated in connection herewith is a transfer and a margin payment or a settlement payment within the meaning of Section 362(b)(6) and/or (27) and Sections 546(e) and/or (j) of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if Borrower or its property becomes subject to any proceedings under Debtor Relief Laws, any Lender may exercise remedies against the Collateral during the pendency of such proceedings without obtaining any order, judgment or other relief from the relevant bankruptcy court or any Governmental Authority, and Borrower agrees not to challenge any such exercise of remedies. In addition, all obligations under or in connection with the Margin Loan Documentation represent obligations in respect of termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations within the meaning of Sections 362 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan Documentation collectively constitutes a master netting agreement within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.
79
Section 9.04. Costs And Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver.
(a) Costs and Expenses.

This Section 9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
80
of, this Agreement, any other Margin Loan Documentation or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Margin Loan Documentation or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such charges result from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.
(d) Post-Default Hedging Costs. After (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default and (ii) acceleration of the Obligations of any Lender, Borrower shall pay, on demand, such Lenders (or its Affiliates) costs (including the commercially reasonable costs of put options and the cost of borrowing Shares in connection with commercially reasonable Share Hedging Transactions up to a cap of five percent (5%) of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Advances and any accrued and unpaid interest), losses (including market losses resulting from Share Hedging Transactions), charges, fees, expenses or duties of any kind directly relating to its (x) Advances or (y) acquisition, establishment, re-establishment, substitution, maintenance, unwinding or disposition of, or realization or recovery of the proceeds of, or any part thereof, any transaction(s) entered into by such Lender or its Affiliate to hedge the market risk of the Collateral (it being understood that any such costs and/or losses in respect of any such transactions represent a good faith and commercially reasonable attempt to mitigate against market risk of any decline in value the Collateral (including any risk or potential damage as a result of unavailability of the public resale of the Collateral Shares in compliance with the conditions of Rule 144)). Borrowers obligation under this Subsection (d) shall survive termination of the Facility and payment in full of all other Obligations. Share Hedging Transactions means short sales of Shares and option contracts, futures contracts, forward contracts, swap agreements or other derivative transactions relating to Shares, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such transaction for which the underlier is a broad-based index or basket of securities.

The obligations of Lenders under this clause (e) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13.
(f) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER MARGIN LOAN DOCUMENTATION BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 9.06(e).
Section 9.07. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Documentation without the prior written consent of Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. After the Closing Date, a Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Advances and/or its Commitments), as long as (a) Administrative Agent gives its prior written consent to such assignment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (b) the assigning Lender is not an Accelerating Lender; provided that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee, a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided further that if any assignment is made to the Company or its Affiliates or Borrower (any such assignee, an Affiliated Lender), (x) the Advances held by such Person shall be deemed to not be outstanding (and the Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to not be a Lender) for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, for the purpose of determining Required Lenders and Net Obligations and for purposes of determining the pro rata sharing of payments and Collateral hereunder and (y) any Collateral securing such Advances shall promptly be distributed on a Pro Rata Basis to the Collateral Accounts controlled by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders, as determined by Administrative Agent. Any Lender that assigns its Advances to an Affiliated Lender shall cooperate in good faith with Administrative Agent to effect the related distribution of Collateral to other Lenders, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by submitting written instructions to Custodian to effect the relevant transfers, and Borrower hereby consents to such transfers. Subject to notification to Administrative Agent of an assignment and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b) below, the assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement, and such Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Section 2.07, Section 2.08 , Section 9.04 and Section 9.13). Borrower hereby agrees to, and agrees to cause Borrower to, execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be necessary to effectuate such an assignment.
83
(b) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each assignment and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(c) After the Closing Date, a Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities, as long as the Lender selling such participation is not an Accelerating Lender (provided that in the case of a participation sold to the Company or its Affiliates, the Advances or any portion of the Advances sold therein shall be deemed to not be outstanding for the purpose of determining Required Lenders, and Borrower shall promptly so notify Administrative Agent) (a Participant), in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation (including all or a portion of the Advances); provided that (i) such Lenders obligations under the Margin Loan Documentation shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to Borrower for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement. Subject to Subsection (d) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.07 and Section 2.08 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.08 shall be delivered to the participating Lender). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participants interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Margin Loan Documentation (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 Participant or any information relating to a Participants interest in any Commitments, Advances or its other obligations under any Margin Loan Documentation) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Advance or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). 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.
84
(d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.07 and Section 2.08 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participants entitlement to the benefits of Section 2.08 shall be subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.08(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.08(e) shall be delivered to the Lender).
(e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, and this Section 9.07 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Margin Loan Documentation to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against Borrower at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Advances held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in Administrative Agents sole discretion, unless Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Advances held by it as Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.
Section 9.08. Severability. Any provision of any Margin Loan Documentation held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.09. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the parties hereto and when each of the parties hereto shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words delivery, execution, execute, signed, signature, and words of like import in or related to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this
85
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 9.10. Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of the Margin Loan Documentation and the making of any Advances, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Advance or any other Obligation under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or unsatisfied. The provisions of Section 2.07, Section 2.08, Section 9.04, Section 9.11 and Section 9.13 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Margin Loan Documentation, the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, the assignment of rights by any Lender or the termination of this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation or any provision hereof or thereof.
Section 9.11. Confidentiality. Subject to Section 5.06, each Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Lender (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure, unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Law and except in connection with any request as part of a regulatory examination), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure to the extent permitted by law and except in connection with a regulatory examination of an audit or examination conducted by bank accountants), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any other Margin Loan Documentation, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.11, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative or hedging transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations or the Collateral Shares, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by such Lender or (ii) becomes available to such Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower or its Affiliates or (iii) is independently developed by such Lender without use of the Information. For the purposes of this Section, Information means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business hereunder or pursuant hereto, other than any such information that is available to Lenders on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person
86
has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower agrees that the obligations of Lenders and Agents in this Section 9.11 shall not be interpreted to restrict any such Lender or Agent or any of their Affiliates from transacting in Shares or related securities.
Section 9.12. No Advisory Or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby and by the other Margin Loan Documentation (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Margin Loan Documentation), Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Lenders are arms-length commercial transactions between Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, (ii) Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (iii) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Margin Loan Documentation; (b)(i) Lenders are and have been acting solely as principals and, except as expressly agreed in writing herein or otherwise by the relevant parties, have not been, are not, and will not be acting as advisors, agents or fiduciaries for Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) Lenders have no obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Margin Loan Documentation; and (c) Lenders and their Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and its Affiliates, and Lenders have no obligations to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Lenders or their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
Section 9.13. Right Of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lenders, Agents and each of their respective Affiliates (each, a Set-off Party) are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Set-off Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations and liabilities of Borrower, irrespective of whether or not the relevant Set-off Party shall have made any demand under the Margin Loan Documentation and although such obligations may be unmatured. The parties agree that each of the Collateral Accounts is a general and not special account. The rights of each Set- off Party under this Section 9.13 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Set-off Party may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 9.14. Judgment Currency. If a judgment, order or award is rendered by any court or tribunal for the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders under this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation or for the payment of damages in respect of a judgment or order of another court or tribunal for the payment of such amount or damages, such judgment, order or award being expressed in a currency (the Judgment Currency) other than Dollars, Borrower
87
agrees (a) that its obligations in respect of any such amounts owing shall be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following Lenders receipt of any sum adjudged in the Judgment Currency, Lenders may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency, and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless Lenders against any deficiency in terms of Dollars in the amounts actually received by Lenders following any such purchase (after deduction of any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, Dollars). The indemnity set forth in the preceding sentence shall (notwithstanding any judgment referred to in the preceding sentence) constitute an obligation of Borrower separate and independent from its other obligations hereunder, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.15. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), as amended (the Act), and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. Borrower agrees to promptly provide any Lender with all of the information with respect to Borrower requested by such Lender (x) to the extent such Lender deems such information reasonably necessary to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act or (y) in connection with such Lenders standard on boarding process (including, without limitation, pursuant to know your customer or anti-money laundering requirements).
Section 9.16. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Advance under applicable law (collectively the Charges), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the Maximum Rate) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender holding such Advance in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Advance but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.16 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Advances or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 9.17. Disclosure. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lenders and/or their Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make loans to or have other relationships with the Company or its Affiliates.
Section 9.18. Calculation Agent Determinations; Required Lender Consultation.
(a) All calculations, adjustments and determinations made by the Calculation Agent shall be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Upon receipt of written request from Borrower or any Lender, the Calculation Agent shall promptly provide Borrower or such Lender with a written explanation describing in reasonable detail any calculation,
88
adjustment or determination made by it (including any quotations, market data or information from internal or external sources used in making such calculation, adjustment or determination, as the case may be, but without disclosing the Calculation Agents proprietary models or other information that may be proprietary or subject to contractual, legal or regulatory obligations to not disclose such information), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such written explanation within five (5) Business Days from the receipt of such request.
(b) If the Required Lenders notify the Calculation Agent that they disagree with any calculation, adjustment or determination made by the Calculation Agent hereunder (or any failure by the Calculation Agent to make any calculation, adjustment or determination hereunder) and include in such notice a proposed alternative calculation, adjustment or determination that complies with Subsection (a) above (which shall apply for this purpose as if the Lenders sending such notice were the Calculation Agent), the Calculation Agent shall notify Borrower that such alternative calculation, adjustment or determination applies, and such alternative calculation, adjustment or determination shall be binding on all parties to the Margin Loan Documentation.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, if any provision of the Margin Loan Documentation provides for an action, determination, notice or instruction on the part of the Required Lenders, the Lenders may consult with one another in considering such action, determination, notice or instructio n.
Section 9.19 U.S. QFC Contractual Stay Requirements
(a) Recognition of U.S. Regimes. In the event one or more of the Covered Parties becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of this Agreement, any transaction under this Agreement or any related Credit Enhancement (each, a Relevant Agreement) and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, such Relevant Agreement (Relevant Interests) from one or more of the Covered Parties will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Relevant Agreement and Relevant Interests were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event one or more of the Covered Parties or any Covered Affiliate becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights with respect to any Relevant Agreement against the Covered Party or Relevant Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Relevant Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. The requirements of this paragraph (a) apply notwithstanding paragraph (b) below.
(b) Limitation on Exercise of Certain Default Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Relevant Agreement or any other agreement, the parties expressly agree that Borrower shall not be permitted to exercise any Default Right against the Relevant Covered Parties with respect to any Relevant Agreement that is related, directly or indirectly, to a Covered Affiliate becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, other than a Default Right that arises as a result of the Relevant Covered Parties becoming subject to an Insolvency Proceeding or the Relevant Covered Parties not satisfying a payment or delivery obligation pursuant to such Relevant Agreement or another contract between the Relevant Covered Parties and Borrower
89
that gives rise to a Default Right under such Relevant Agreement. After a Covered Affiliate has become subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, if Borrower seeks to exercise any Default Right with respect to any Relevant Agreement with the Relevant Covered Parties, Borrower shall have the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that the exercise of such Default Right is permitted thereunder.
(c) Effective Date The provisions of this Section 9.19 will come into effect on the later of the date of this Agreement and the Applicable Compliance Date.
(d) Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 9.19, the following definitions apply:
Applicable Compliance Date means: (a) July 1, 2019, if that Borrower is a financial counterparty other than a small financial institution (as such terms are defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, the QFC Stay Rules); or (b) otherwise, January 1, 2020.
Covered Affiliate means an affiliate (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of one or more of the Covered Parties.
Covered Parties means any Lender that is a covered entity as defined under the QFC Stay Rules.
Credit Enhancement means, with respect to this Agreement or any transaction under this Agreement, any credit enhancement or other credit support arrangement in support of the obligations of one or more of the Covered Parties or Borrower thereunder or with respect thereto, including any guarantee, pledge, charge, mortgage or other security interest in collateral or title transfer collateral arrangement, trust or similar arrangement, letter of credit, transfer of margin, reimbursement obligation or any similar arrangement.
