If AMB LP, or a Borrower, has requested the issuance of a Letter of Credit, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such issuance as indicated in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the Fronting Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit in the amount so requested and deliver the same to such Borrower, with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit by the Fronting Bank, the Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Applicable Bank, and each such other Applicable Bank shall be deemed, and hereby agrees, to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and a participation in such Letter of Credit, any drawing thereunder, and its obligation to pay its Pro Rata Share with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto, in an amount equal to such Applicable Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Upon any change in any of the Currency Commitments in accordance herewith, there shall be an automatic adjustment to such participations to reflect such changed shares. The Fronting Bank shall have the primary obligation to fund any and all draws made with respect to such Letter of Credit notwithstanding any failure of a participating Applicable Bank to fund its Pro Rata Share of any such draw. Except as otherwise provided below, the Administrative Agent will instruct the Fronting Bank to make such Letter of Credit available to such Borrower and the Fronting Bank shall make such Letter of Credit available to such Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.1 or at such address in the United States as such Borrower shall request on the date of the Borrowing, or in the case of a Letter of Credit issued in another Alternate Currency, at such address as such Borrower shall request on the date of the Borrowing. Each Applicable Bank shall make available its share of any Borrowing in respect of the Canadian Dollar Tranche A, and the Fronting Bank shall issue each Letter of Credit in respect of the Canadian Dollar Tranche A, from its Domestic Lending Office. Each Applicable Bank shall make available its share of any Borrowing in respect of the Canadian Dollar Tranche B, and the Fronting Bank shall issue each Letter of Credit in respect of the Canadian Dollar Tranche B, from its Canadian Lending Office.
     (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an Applicable Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.3 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount on behalf of such Bank. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to a Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate of interest applicable to such Borrowing hereunder. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If such Bank shall

35


 

not pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount after reasonable attempts are made by the Administrative Agent to collect such amounts from such Bank, each Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amounts together with interest thereto, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable thereto one (1) Business Day after demand. Nothing contained in this Section 2.3(c) shall be deemed to reduce the Commitment or Currency Commitment of any Bank or in any way affect the rights of Borrowers with respect to any Defaulting Bank or Administrative Agent. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of any Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3(b) hereof shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations to fund its Commitment or Currency Commitment, in accordance with the provisions hereof.
          (d) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make available each Borrowing to the applicable Borrower in Federal funds or the applicable Alternate Currency immediately available in accordance with, and on the date set forth in, the applicable Notice of Borrowing.
     Section 2.4 Notes.
          (a) The Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note made by each Borrower payable to the order of such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office.
          (b) Upon receipt of each Bank’s Note pursuant to Section 4.1(a), the Administrative Agent shall forward such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall record the date, amount, type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by each Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the appropriate schedule appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided, that the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.
          (c) The Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the Maturity Date.
          (d) There shall be no more than thirty-two (32) Euro-Dollar Groups of Loans outstanding at any one time, of which no more than eight (8) Euro-Dollar Groups of Loans outstanding shall be in any single currency.
     Section 2.5 Method of Electing Interest Rates.
          (a) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, each Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans of such Borrower (subject in each case to the provisions of Article IX), as follows:
               (i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day; provided, that, in the case of Canadian Base Rate Loans, Canadian LIBOR or CDOR can then be determined for the requested Interest Period and Borrower shall prepare and deliver a certification substantially in the form of Schedule 2.2.

36


 

               (ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Base Rate Loans and/or elect to continue all or any portion of such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or additional Interest Periods, in each case effective on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable to such Loans, or on such other date designated by such Borrower in the Notice of Interest Rate Election provided such Borrower shall prepare and deliver a certification substantially in the form of Schedule 2.2 and pay any losses pursuant to Section 2.12.
Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency Borrowing, five (5) Business Days) prior to, but excluding, the effective date of the conversion or continuation selected in such notice. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided, that: (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group; (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each, in the case of (A) Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; (B) Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in Hong Kong Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount of HK$8,000,000, or an integral multiple of HK$4,000,000 in excess thereof; (C) Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be in an aggregate principal amount of CA$1,000,000, or an integral multiple of CA$500,000 in excess thereof; (D) Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in Singapore Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount of S$2,000,000, or an integral multiple of S$1,000,000 in excess thereof; (E) Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, in an aggregate principal amount of £500,000 or an integral multiple of £250,000 in excess thereof; and (F) Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in Euros, in an aggregate principal amount of 1,000,000, or an integral multiple of 500,000 in excess thereof; (iii) there shall be no more than thirty-two (32) Euro-Dollar Groups of Loans outstanding at any time, of which no more than eight (8) Euro-Dollar Groups of Loans outstanding shall be in any single currency; (iv) no Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a Euro-Dollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date.
          (b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:
               (i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;
               (ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection (a) above;
               (iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto; and
               (iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.
Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.
          (c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from a Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Applicable Bank the same day as it receives such Notice of Interest Rate Election of the contents thereof, the interest rates determined pursuant thereto and the Interest Periods (if different from those requested by the applicable Borrower) and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by such Borrower. If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in

37


 

Dollars, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto. If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Loans under any Tranche may only be continued or converted under this Section 2.5 as Loans of the same Tranche.
     Section 2.6 Interest Rates.
          (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until the date it is repaid or converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.5, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans for such day.
          (b) Each Canadian Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until the date it is repaid or converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan or Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.5, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Canadian Base Rate Loans for such day.
          (c) Each Euro-Dollar Loan (other than Canadian Base Rate Loans) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar Loans for such day plus the Adjusted Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Interest Period.
          (d) In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest in respect of all Loans, shall bear interest at the annual rate equal to the sum of the Base Rate and two percent (2%) (the “Default Rate”).
          (e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the affected Borrowers and the Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.
          (f) Interest on all Loans bearing interest at the Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate shall be payable, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each calendar month. Interest on all Loans bearing interest based on the Interbank Offered Rate shall be payable on the last Euro-Dollar Business Day of the applicable Interest Period, but no less frequently than every three months determined on the basis of the first (1st) day of the Interest Period applicable to the Loan in question.

Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Group or Borrowing.
          (b) Any Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ (or in the case of an Alternate Currency, five (5) Euro-Dollar Business Days’) notice to the Administrative Agent, pay all or any portion of any Euro-Dollar Loan (other than a Canadian Base Rate Loan) as of the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Except (i) as provided in Article IX, or (ii) with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan which has been converted to a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan pursuant to Sections 9.1, 9.2 or 9.5 hereof, no Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Euro-Dollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless such Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.12. Notice of any such prepayment shall be given on or prior to the third (3rd) Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to, but excluding, the date of prepayment to the Administrative Agent. Each such optional prepayment shall be in the amounts set forth in Section 2.9(a) and shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Banks included in any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, except that any Euro-Dollar Loan which has been converted to a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan pursuant to Sections 9.1, 9.2 or 9.5 hereof may be prepaid without ratable payment of the other Loans in such Group of Loans which have not been so converted.

     Section 2.10 Mandatory Prepayments. The Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent Amount of all Loans and Letter of Credit Usage denominated in an Alternate Currency at the time of (a) each Borrowing or issuance of a Letter of Credit, (b) on the last Business Day of each month during each Interest Period longer than one month in duration, and (c) at such times as may be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, if the outstanding Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Usage for any Tranche equals or exceeds ninety-eight percent (98%) of the Tranche Commitment or the outstanding Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit Usage for all Tranches equals or exceeds the Facility Amount. If at any such time the Dollar Equivalent Amount for a Tranche or for all Tranches, as the case may be, of the sum of: (i) all outstanding Loans in respect of such Tranche or all Loans, as the case may be; and (ii) Letter of Credit Usage in respect of such Tranche or all Letter of Credit Usage, as the case may be; so determined by the Administrative Agent, in the aggregate, exceeds an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of a Tranche Commitment or Facility Amount, as applicable, one or more Borrowers, within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, shall repay all or a portion of such Loans (or reduce the amount of outstanding Letter of Credit Usage), otherwise in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement, in such amount so that, following the making of such payment, the Dollar Equivalent Amount outstanding of such Loans and Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the applicable Tranche Commitments or the Facility Amount. If at any such time the sum of: (A) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of all outstanding Aggregate Loans; (B) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of all Letter of Credit Usage and (C) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of all Rupee Letter of Credit Usage; so determined by the Administrative Agent, in the aggregate, exceeds an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Facility Amount, one or more Borrowers, within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, shall repay all or a portion of Loans made pursuant to this Agreement (or reduce the amount of outstanding Letter of Credit Usage), otherwise in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement or, at the option of the Guarantors, the borrower or borrowers under the Rupee Facility shall repay all or a portion of loans made pursuant thereto (or reduce the amount of outstanding Rupee Letter of Credit Usage thereunder), in such amount so that, following the making of such payment, the Dollar Equivalent Amount outstanding of all Aggregate Loans, Letter of Credit Usage and Rupee Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the Facility Amount.
     Section 2.11 General Provisions as to Payments.
          (a) Borrowers shall make each payment of the principal of and interest on the Loans and fees hereunder, by initiating a wire transfer not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time or 11:00 a.m. local time in the Principal Financial Center of the Alternate Currency in question, as applicable) on the date when due, of Federal or other funds immediately available in New York, New York, or, in the case of any Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), the Principal Financial Center of the Alternate Currency in question, to the Administrative Agent to the account referred to in Section 10.1, and such Borrower shall deliver a federal reference number (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency, other customarily applicable reference number) evidencing such wire to Administrative Agent as soon as possible thereafter on the date when due. The Administrative Agent will promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof (or, with respect to Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in Alternate Currencies, one (1) Euro-Dollar Business Day, after receipt thereof)) distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall receive any such payment for the account of the Banks on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time or local time in the Principal Financial Center of the Alternate Currency in question, as applicable) on any Business Day (or Euro-Dollar Business Day, as applicable), and the Administrative Agent shall not have distributed to any Bank its applicable share of such payment on such day, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such amount to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount should have been distributed to such Bank until the date the Administrative Agent distributes such amount to such Bank, at the Federal Funds Rate. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on the Base Rate Loans or the Canadian Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment

41


 

thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans (other than Canadian Base Rate Loans) shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.
          (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that a Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
     Section 2.12 Funding Losses. If a Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan (pursuant to Articles II, VII or IX or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if a Borrower fails to borrow any Euro-Dollar Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.3(a), or if a Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Interest Rate Election specifying that a Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted on a date other than the first (1st) day of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the outstanding Loans of a Borrower are reallocated as a result of an increase of Commitments in accordance with Section 2.15(a) or 2.15(c), such Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after certification of such Bank of such loss or expense (which shall be delivered by each such Bank to the Administrative Agent for delivery to such Borrower) for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing Participant in the related Loan), including, without limitation, any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have delivered to such Borrower a certification as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certification shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of such loss or expense and shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.
     Section 2.13 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on any Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or any interest based on the Prime Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, HIBOR, CDOR, or the Swap Offer Rate, hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever interest payable pursuant to this Agreement is calculated on the basis on a period other than a calendar year in respect of Canadian Dollar Loans (in this Section 2.13, a “Canadian Interest Period”), each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation expressed as an annual rate is equivalent to such rate as so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days in the Canadian Interest Period.
     Section 2.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used for the purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of the Borrowers, including, without limitation, for interim acquisition financing and working capital. The proceeds of the Loans shall not be used for the repurchase of capital stock of AMB or limited partnership interest of AMB LP. Neither Banks nor the Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower’s use of the proceeds of

42


 

the Loans, and neither Banks nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not a Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans are for purposes permitted under the applicable Constituent Documents. Nothing, including, without limitation, the advance of any Borrowing or rollover, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by Banks or the Administrative Agent as to whether any use of proceeds by a Borrower is permitted by the terms of its Constituent Documents.
     Section 2.15 Increase in Commitments.
          (a) At any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, AMB LP may request a one-time increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments (subject to (iii) below), either by designating an Eligible Bank not theretofore a Bank to become a Bank (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and/or by agreeing with an existing Bank or Banks that such Bank’s Commitment shall be increased. Upon execution and delivery by AMB LP and such Bank or other Eligible Bank of an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such existing Bank shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such Eligible Bank shall become a Bank with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Bank with such a Commitment hereunder; provided that:
               (i) AMB LP shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Banks;
               (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Hong Kong Dollars Agent (in the event the increased Commitment involves Hong Kong Dollars), the Singapore Dollars Agent (in the event the increased Commitment involves Singapore Dollars), the Canadian Administrative Agent (in the event the increased Commitment involves Canadian Dollar Tranche B), and the Borrowers shall have agreed on (a) the increase and apportionment of the applicable Currency Commitments and, if applicable, (b) the terms and conditions of one or more Supplemental Tranches; and
               (iii) the amount of such one time increase does not cause the Facility Amount to exceed $750,000,000.
Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15(a), within five (5) Business Days (in the case of any Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans then outstanding) or at the end of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto (in the case of any Euro-Dollar Loans then outstanding (other than Canadian Base Rate Loans)), as applicable, each Bank’s Pro Rata Share shall be recalculated to reflect such increase in the Commitments and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be reallocated among the Banks such that the outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to each Bank shall be equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (as recalculated). All payments, repayments and other disbursements of funds by the Administrative Agent to Banks shall thereupon and, at all times thereafter be made in accordance with each Bank’s recalculated Pro Rata Share.
          (b) This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 10.5 or 10.6 to the contrary.
          (c) If any Bank becomes an Eligible Bank with respect to any Alternate Currency, it shall, at its sole discretion, provide written notice of such event to the Administrative Agent and use its best efforts to make a Currency Commitment with respect to such Alternate Currency. Promptly following such notice and agreement to provide such Currency Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall notify and provide Borrowers and each Bank with a replacement Schedule 2.1 listing the name of the applicable Bank

43


 

and the increase in the Currency Commitment with respect to such Alternate Currency. Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Currency Commitment with respect to any Alternate Currency pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), within five (5) Business Days, each applicable Bank’s Pro Rata Share shall be recalculated to reflect such increase and the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Loans shall be reallocated among the applicable Banks such that the outstanding principal amount of such Loans owed to each such Bank shall be equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (as recalculated). All applicable payments, repayments and other disbursements of funds by the Administrative Agent to each applicable Bank shall thereupon and, at all times thereafter be made in accordance with such Bank’s recalculated Pro Rata Share.
     Section 2.16 Special Provisions Regarding Loans Denominated in an Alternate Currency. Upon the occurrence of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Article VII (an ”Acceleration Conversion”), automatically (and without the taking of any action): (x) all then outstanding Canadian Base Rate Loans and other Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be converted into the Dollar Equivalent Amount (as of the date such Acceleration Conversion first occurred) of Base Rate Loans, which Loans shall be immediately due and payable; and (y) all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to Canadian Base Rate Loans and other Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be converted into the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts (as of the date such Acceleration Conversion first occurred) and shall be immediately due and payable.
     Section 2.17 Letters of Credit.
          (a) Subject to the terms contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, upon the receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 2.2(b) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Fronting Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit in such form as is reasonably acceptable to the applicable Borrower and the Fronting Bank (subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(b)) in an amount or amounts equal to the amount or amounts requested by the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall require any Fronting Bank to issue a Letter of Credit that is a bank guaranty in any jurisdiction where such issuance is not legally permitted.
          (b) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in the minimum amount of the Dollar Equivalent Amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Fronting Bank.
          (c) The Dollar Equivalent Amount of Letter of Credit Usage shall be no more than the Letter of Credit Sublimit.
          (d) In the event of any request for a drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder, the Fronting Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank thereof) on or before the date on which the Fronting Bank intends to honor such drawing, and, except as provided in this subsection (d), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the Fronting Bank, in immediately available funds, on the same day on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such drawing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, however, unless the applicable Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such drawing that AMB LP, or the applicable Borrower, intends to reimburse the Fronting Bank for the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of the Loans, the applicable Borrower, shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 to the Administrative Agent, requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such drawing. Each Applicable Bank (other than the Fronting Bank) shall, in accordance with Section 2.3(b), make available its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be

44


 

applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Fronting Bank for the amount of such draw. In the event that any Applicable Bank fails to make available to the Fronting Bank the amount of such Applicable Bank’s participation on the date of a drawing, the Fronting Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Applicable Bank together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate commencing on the date such drawing is honored, and the provisions of Section 10.17 shall otherwise apply to such failure.
          (e) If, at the time a beneficiary under any Letter of Credit requests a drawing thereunder, an Event of Default as described in Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(g) shall have occurred and is continuing, then on the date on which the Fronting Bank shall have honored such drawing, the applicable Borrower shall have an unreimbursed obligation (the “Unreimbursed Obligation”) to the Fronting Bank in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, which amount shall bear interest at the annual rate of the sum of: (i) the Base Rate; plus (ii) two percent (2%). Each Applicable Bank shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such drawing in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such drawings, and upon receipt thereof the Fronting Bank shall deliver to such Applicable Bank an Unreimbursed Obligation participation certificate dated the date of the Fronting Bank’s receipt of such funds and in the amount of such Applicable Bank’s pro rata share.
          (f) If, after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration thereof shall either: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or participations in any letter of credit, upon any Bank (including the Fronting Bank); or (ii) impose on any Bank any other condition regarding this Agreement or such Bank (including the Fronting Bank) as it pertains to the Letters of Credit or any participation therein and the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase, by an amount deemed by the Fronting Bank or such Bank to be material, the cost to the Fronting Bank or such Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or participating therein, then the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Fronting Bank or such Bank, within 15 days after written demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate the Fronting Bank or such Bank for such increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Each Bank will promptly notify the applicable Borrower, and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall fail to notify the applicable Borrower of any such event within 90 days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then such Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified the applicable Borrower of the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 2.17 and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
          (g) Each Credit Party hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Fronting Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which the Fronting Bank may incur or be subject to as a result of: (i) the issuance of the Letters of Credit, other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank; or (ii) the failure of the Fronting Bank to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (collectively, “Governmental

45


 

Acts”), other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank. As between the Credit Parties and the Fronting Bank, the Credit Parties assume all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary with respect to its use, or misuses of, the Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Fronting Bank shall not be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or insufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, by mail, cable, telegraph, facsimile transmission, or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of any technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Fronting Bank, including any Governmental Acts, in each case other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of the Fronting Bank’s rights and powers hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Fronting Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Fronting Bank under any resulting liability to the Credit Parties; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Fronting Bank will be liable to the Credit Parties for any damages suffered by them as a result of the Fronting Bank’s grossly negligent or willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a sight draft and certificates strictly in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit.
          (h) If the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required at any time, pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization law or otherwise, to return to any Credit Party, any reimbursement of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, each Applicable Bank shall pay to the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, its Pro Rata Share of such payment, but without interest thereon unless the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to pay interest on such amounts to the person recovering such payment, in which case with interest thereon, computed at the same rate, and on the same basis, as the interest that the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to pay.
          (i) If, at any time and from time to time, the Dollar Equivalent Amount for a Tranche or for all Tranches, as the case may be, of the sum of Letter of Credit Usage in respect of such Tranche or all Letter of Credit Usage, as the case may be; so determined by the Administrative Agent, in the aggregate, exceeds an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of a Tranche Commitment or the Letter of Credit Sublimit, as applicable, the Credit Parties shall, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Banks, in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, an amount (the “Cash Collateral Amount”) equal to the amount by which the Letter of Credit Usage exceeds the Tranche Commitment or Letter of Credit Sublimit, as applicable; provided, that if at any time the Cash Collateral Amount exceeds the amount by which the Letter of Credit Usage exceeds the Tranche Commitment or Letter of Credit Sublimit, as applicable, then provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, upon written request by the applicable Credit Party, such cash collateral in an amount equal to such excess shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Credit Party.

46


 

     Section 2.18 Letter of Credit Usage Absolute. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time) and any Letter of Credit Documents (as hereinafter defined) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by law, the following circumstances:
          (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Documents”) or any other Loan Document;
          (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the applicable Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent by the applicable Borrower to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents or any Loan Document; provided, that the Fronting Bank shall not consent to any such change or amendment unless previously consented to in writing by the applicable Borrower;
          (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of the Letters of Credit;
          (d) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the applicable Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or any Bank (other than a defense based on the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or such Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Letters of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction;
          (e) any draft or any other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or other Loan Document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; provided, that payment by the Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of such draft or document shall not have been the result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank;
          (f) payment by the Fronting Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; provided, that such payment shall not have been the result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank; and
          (g) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever other than the payment in full of all obligations hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, ABM LP, or the applicable Borrower; provided, that such other circumstance or happening shall not have been the result of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank.
     Section 2.19 Establishment of a Supplemental Tranche.
          (a) Guarantors may from time to time request (each such request, a “Supplemental Tranche Request”) certain Banks to provide a supplemental tranche for loans in a currency (a “Supplemental Currency”) that is not included as “Currency Commitment” on Schedule 2.1 at the time of such Supplemental Tranche Request (each such new Tranche, a “Supplemental Tranche”).

47


 

          (b) Each Supplemental Tranche Request shall be made in the form of an addendum substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “Supplemental Addendum”) and sent to the Administrative Agent and shall set forth (i) the proposed currency of such Supplemental Tranche, (ii) the proposed Authorized Borrower(s), (iii) the proposed interest types and rates for such Supplemental Tranche, and (iv) any other specific terms of such Supplemental Tranche that Guarantors deem necessary; provided that the availability period and maturity of any loans under the Supplemental Tranche shall be the same as Dollar Tranche A. Promptly after a Supplemental Tranche Request if the Administrative Agent cannot act as the funding agent therefor the Guarantors shall, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint the proposed funding agent for such requested Supplemental Tranche.
          (c) As a condition precedent to the addition of a Supplemental Tranche to this Agreement: (i) each of the conditions and other requirements set forth in Section 2.15 must be satisfied in the event such Supplemental Tranche involves an increase in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.15; (ii) each Bank providing a Currency Commitment under the Supplemental Tranche must be an Eligible Bank as to such Supplemental Tranche; (iii) each Bank providing a Currency Commitment under such Supplemental Tranche, the Administrative Agent, and the proposed funding agent for such Supplemental Tranche (if it is not the Administrative Agent) must execute the requested Supplemental Addendum; (iv) each of the proposed borrowers under such Supplemental Tranche shall be Authorized Borrowers with regard to such Supplemental Tranche, and (v) any other documents or certificates that shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the addition of the Supplemental Tranche shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
          (d) If a Supplemental Tranche Request is accepted in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent, the applicable funding agent, and the Guarantors shall determine the effective date of such Supplemental Tranche (the “Supplemental Tranche Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Supplemental Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute a revised Schedule 2.1 to each Bank reflecting such new Supplemental Tranche and notify each Lender of the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date.
     Section 2.20 Letters of Credit Maturing after the Maturity Date.
          (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any Letters of Credit, by their terms, shall mature after the Maturity Date (as the same may be extended), then, on and after the Maturity Date, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such Letters of Credit, and the Borrower shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.20(b). No Letter of Credit shall mature on a date that is more than twelve (12) months after the Maturity Date then in effect.
          (b) If, at any time and from time to time, any Letter of Credit shall have been issued hereunder and the same shall expire on a date after the Maturity Date, then, on the Maturity Date, AMB LP shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Banks, in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, Letter of Credit Collateral in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount (or, as agreed between the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Alternate Currency) of the Letter of Credit Usage under the Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall recalculate the Dollar Equivalent Amount with respect to all Alternate Currency Letters of Credit monthly, as of the first Business Day of each month. Interest shall accrue on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4.
          (c) From and after the Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent Amount of any outstanding Alternate Currency Letters of Credit on the last Business Day of each

48


 

month. If at any such time the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Letter of Credit Usage, so determined by the Administrative Agent, exceeds the amount in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, the Guarantors, within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, shall deposit (and cause the applicable Qualified Borrowers to deposit) any such shortfall in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
ARTICLE III
GUARANTY
     Section 3.1 Guaranty of Payment. Subject to the limitation set forth below, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally guarantees to each Bank and the Administrative Agent the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and the timely performance of all other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to the Obligations whenever arising. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of any Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including, without limitation, applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other laws affecting creditors rights generally, or general principles of equity).
     Section 3.2 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are, joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor other than the defense of the actual timely payment by the relevant Borrower of its Obligations. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid regardless of any applicable law, regulation, order or decree now or hereinafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any terms of such Obligation or any right of any Bank or the Administrative Agent with respect thereto. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Banks without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations or otherwise and each Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Banks to proceed against any Borrower or any other Person (including the other Guarantor or any other co-guarantor) or to require the Banks to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each Guarantor further agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any Borrower, the other Guarantor, or any other guarantor of the Obligations for amounts paid under this Guaranty until such time as the Banks have been paid in full, all Commitments under this Agreement have been terminated. Each Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Banks from suing on the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or foreclosing its security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Obligation or from exercising any other rights available to it under this Agreement, the Notes, any other of the Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of either Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of each Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Borrower or any Guarantor. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Bank on this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty. The Obligations, and any

49


 

part thereof, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty. All dealings between each Borrower and each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Banks, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty. Guarantor further agrees to all rights of set-off as set forth in Section 10.5. During the continuance of any Event of Default, each Guarantor hereby subordinates to the Obligations all debts, liabilities and other obligations, whether direct, indirect, primary, secondary, several, joint and several or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts, liabilities and obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account, book entry or otherwise, owing by any Borrower to any Guarantor.
     Section 3.3 Modifications. Each Guarantor agrees that: (a) all or any part of the collateral now or hereafter held for the Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Banks or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held, if any, for the Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment of the Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Borrower and any other party liable for payment under the Loan Documents may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents may be waived or, with the consent of the Guarantors, modified or amended; (f) any party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of any Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of the Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by such Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.
     Section 3.4 Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Banks and of all extensions of credit to any Borrower by the Banks; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Banks obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations, or the Banks’ subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests, liens or encumbrances, if any; and (e) all other notices to which such Guarantor might otherwise be entitled.
     Section 3.5 Reinstatement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article III shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
     Section 3.6 Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Banks, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 7.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 7.2) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Obligations from becoming automatically due and

50


 

payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable, jointly and severally, by Guarantors.
     Section 3.7 Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees that, until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, it will not exercise, and hereby waives, any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, set-off or other claims against any Borrower arising by contract or operation of law in connection with any payment made or required to be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. After the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than any part of the Obligations that represents contingent contractual indemnities), each Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise against any Borrower all such rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, and set-off, and all such other claims, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the AMB LP, AMB and their Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of AMB LP, adequate.
     Section 5.9 Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished by any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.

     Section 6.13 Forward Equity Contracts. If AMB LP shall enter into any forward equity contracts, AMB LP may only settle the same by delivery of stock, it being agreed that if AMB LP shall settle the same with cash, the same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder unless AMB LP shall have received the unanimous consent of the Banks to settle such forward equity contracts with cash.
     Section 6.14 Capital Funding Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any Property located outside the United States (each a “Non-US Property”) is owned by a Financing Partnership (a “100% AMB Non-US Property Owner”), by a Joint Venture Subsidiary (a “JV Non-US Property Owner”) or by a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of a Joint Venture Subsidiary (a “Tiered Non-US Property Owner;” such Joint Venture Subsidiary is hereinafter referred to as the “First Tier JV;” each entity through which the First Tier JV indirectly owns a Tiered Non-US Property Owner is hereinafter referred to as an “Intermediate Tier Entity;” and the Tiered Non-US Property Owners, the 100% AMB Non-US Property Owners and the JV Non-US Property Owners are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a “Non-US Property Owner” and collectively as the Non-US Property Owners”) and the Non-US Property Owner or, in the case of any Tiered Non-US Property Owner, the related First Tier JV or a related Intermediate Tier Entity has incurred Indebtedness (whether or not such Indebtedness is secured by a Lien against such Non-US Property and/or any direct or indirect equity interests in the Non-US Property Owner) (each a “Capital Funding Loan”) held by:
  (x)   in the case of a 100% AMB Non-US Property Owner, AMB LP or any other Financing Partnership, and
 
  (y)   in the case of a JV Non-US Property Owner or a Tiered Non-US Property Owner, either (AA) an entity (hereinafter an “International FinCo”) in which AMB LP’s Share is the same or greater than AMB LP’s Share in such Non-US Property Owner, or (BB) a Financing Partnership (or AMB LP directly) and entities which are not Financing Partnerships (including Persons who are not Affiliates of AMB LP or whose constituent entities include Persons who are not Affiliates of AMB LP) (“Joint Lenders”), provided that AMB LP’s direct or indirect share of such Indebtedness is the same or greater than AMB LP’s Share of such Non-US Property Owner,

64


 

then no such Capital Funding Loan or related Second Tier Funding Loan (as defined below) shall be deemed to constitute Indebtedness for any purposes under this Agreement, any Lien securing such Capital Funding Loan shall be a Permitted Lien and no Non-US Property to which such Capital Funding Loan or Second Tier Funding Loan relates shall fail to be a Unencumbered Property solely because the capital provided to the applicable Non-US Property Owner or related First Tier JV or Intermediate Tier Entity was in the form of a Capital Funding Loan rather than a contribution to the equity of such Non-US Property Owner, First Tier JV or Intermediate Tier Entity, so long as
          (a) in the case of a Capital Funding Loan made by an International FinCo, the sale of such Capital Funding Loan, or the sale or refinancing of any interest in the Non-US Property or any direct or indirect equity interests in the Non-US Property Owner acquired as a result of the exercise of any remedies in connection with the enforcement of such Capital Funding Loan, is Substantially Controlled by AMB LP (as defined below),
          (b) in the case of a Capital Funding Loan made by Joint Lenders, any remedies in connection with enforcement of such Capital Funding Loan may only be exercised by such Joint Lenders concurrently and, in the event of any such exercise and the Joint Lenders acquire such Non-US Property or any direct or indirect equity interests in such Non-US Property Owner, the sale or refinancing of such Non-US Property and, if the direct or indirect equity interests in such Non-US Property Owner are held jointly, such equity interests will be Substantially Controlled by AMB LP, and
          (c) no interest in any Capital Funding Loan or Second Tier Funding Loan held directly or indirectly by AMB LP is subject to any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) or any Negative Pledge.
For purposes of the foregoing, an action will be “Substantially Controlled by AMB LP” if such action is substantially controlled directly by AMB LP or through one or more Financing Partnerships either by agreement of the parties, through the provisions of a Person’s formation documents or otherwise. For purposes of the preceding sentence, an action shall be deemed to be substantially controlled directly by AMB LP or through one or more Financing Partnerships if AMB LP or such Financing Partnerships have the ability to exercise a usual and customary buy-sell right in the event of a disagreement regarding such action. As used herein the term “Second Tier Funding Loan” means any loans made to an International FinCo by AMB LP, any Financing Partnerships of AMB LP and/or any other Person with an equity interest in such International FinCo (or affiliates of such other Person) so long as (x) AMB LP’s direct or indirect share of the combined loans of AMB LP, any Financing Partnership and/or such other Persons (or affiliates thereof) to the International FinCo is the same or greater than AMB LP’s Share of the applicable Non-US Property Owner, and (y) all such loans are pari passu and any remedies that may be exercised in connection with enforcement of such loans may only be exercised concurrently or not at all.
     Section 6.15 Additional Borrowers and Authorized Borrowers. If after the Closing Date, a Qualified Borrower desires to become a Borrower hereunder, such Qualified Borrower shall: (i) so notify the Administrative Agent; (ii) duly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent: (x) a Note made payable for the account of each Bank; and (y) applicable Qualified Borrower Joinder Documents; (iii) satisfy all of the conditions with respect thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and (iv) obtain the consent of the Banks in the affected Tranche (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) that Qualified Borrower is acceptable as an Authorized Borrower in such affected Tranche. Upon a Qualified Borrower’s addition as a Borrower hereunder, such Qualified Borrower shall be deemed to be a Borrower hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank and, as applicable, the Hong Kong Dollars Agent, each Reference Bank, or the Singapore Dollars Agent, upon a Qualified Borrower’s addition as a Borrower hereunder and shall, upon request by each Bank, provide copies of any Qualified Borrower Joinder Documents in receipt thereof. Each such Borrower shall remain a Qualified Borrower for so long as it has Obligations outstanding.

65


 

     A Qualified Borrower may be designated as an Authorized Borrower under a Tranche or Tranches by obtaining the consent of the Banks in the applicable Tranche or Tranches (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon such designation Administrative Agent shall amend Schedule 6.15 with delivery to the Parties hereto.
     Section 6.16 Other Information. AMB LP hereby acknowledges that: (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Arranger may make available to the Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of AMB LP and AMB hereunder (collectively, “Guarantor Materials”) by posting the Guarantor Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”); and (b) certain of the Banks may be “public-side” Banks (i.e., Banks that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to AMB LP or its securities) (each, a “Public Bank”). AMB LP hereby agrees that (w) all Guarantor Materials that are to be made available to Public Banks shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking the Guarantor Materials “PUBLIC,” AMB LP shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, and the Banks to treat such Guarantor Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to AMB LP or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws; (y) all Guarantor Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Guarantor Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

     Section 7.3 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the applicable Borrower and the Guarantors under Sections 7.1(c) and 7.1(d) promptly upon being requested to do so by the Majority Banks and shall thereupon notify all the Banks thereof. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Loans) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice in writing from a Bank or a Borrower referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, describing such event or condition. Should the Administrative Agent receive notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default expressly stating that such notice is a notice of a Default or Event of Default, or should the Administrative Agent send the Borrowers a notice of a Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to each Bank.
     Section 7.4 Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit.
          (a) If, at any time and from time to time, any Letter of Credit shall have been issued hereunder and an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the occurrence and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent, after consultation with the Banks, may, and upon the demand of the Majority Banks shall, whether in addition to the taking by the Administrative Agent of any of the actions described in this Article or otherwise, make a demand upon the Credit Parties to, and forthwith upon such demand (but in any event within ten (10) days after such demand) the Credit Parties shall, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Banks, in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in a special cash collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) to be maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Banks) and under its sole dominion and control at such place as shall be designated by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the amount of the Letter of Credit Usage under the Letters of Credit. Interest shall accrue on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account at a rate equal to the rate on overnight funds.
          (b) The Credit Parties hereby pledge, assign and grant to the Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Banks, a lien on and a security interest in, the following collateral (the “Letter of Credit Collateral”):

69


 

               (i) the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, all cash deposited therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Letter of Credit Collateral Account;
               (ii) all notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent for or on behalf of the Credit Parties in substitution for or in respect of any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral;
               (iii) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral; provided, that, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any interest, dividends or other earnings received with respect to the Letter of Credit Collateral shall be distributed to AMB LP on a monthly basis; and
               (iv) to the extent not covered by the above clauses, all proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Letter of Credit Collateral.
The lien and security interest granted hereby secures the payment of all obligations of Credit Parties now or hereafter existing hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
          (c) The Credit Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks to apply, from time to time after funds are deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, funds then held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, as shall have become due and payable by AMB LP, or the Borrowers, to the Banks in respect of the Letters of Credit.
          (d) Neither the Credit Parties, nor any Person claiming or acting on behalf of or through the Credit Parties shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, except as provided in Sections 7.4(b) and 7.4(h) hereof.
          (e) The Credit Parties agree that they will not: (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral; or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the security interest created by this Section 7.4.
          (f) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
               (i) The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, without notice to any of the Credit Parties except as required by law and at any time from time to time, charge, set off or otherwise apply all or any part of the Letter of Credit Collateral against: first (x) amounts previously drawn on any Letter of Credit that have not been reimbursed by any Borrower, and (y) any Letter of Credit Usage described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof that are then due and payable; and second, any other unpaid Obligations then due and payable against the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or any part thereof, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect. The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 7.4 are in addition to any rights and remedies which any Bank may have.
               (ii) The Administrative Agent may also exercise, in its sole discretion, in respect of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time.

70


 

          (g) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Letter of Credit Collateral if the Letter of Credit Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that, assuming such treatment, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto.
          (h) At such time as all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing, all amounts remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to AMB LP and, in the case of Letters of Credit maturing after the Maturity Date, upon the return of any such Letter of Credit, any amount attributable to such Letter of Credit shall be promptly returned to AMB LP. Absent such cure or written waiver, any surplus of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations of the Borrowers and Guarantors hereunder and under any other Loan Document after the Maturity Date shall be paid to AMB LP or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
     Section 7.5 Distribution of Proceeds after Default. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof, from and after an Event of Default, to the extent proceeds are received by the Administrative Agent, such proceeds will be distributed to the Banks pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal amount of the Loans (giving effect to any participations granted therein pursuant to Section 10.5).
ARTICLE VIII
THE AGENTS
     Section 8.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as set forth in Sections 8.8 and 8.9 hereof, the provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and the Borrowers shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall each act solely as an agent of the Banks and do not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower.
     Section 8.2 Agency and Affiliates. Bank of America, N.A. has the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and Bank of America, N.A. and each of its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or affiliate of any Credit Party as though it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder, and the term “Bank” and “Banks” shall include Bank of America, N.A. in its individual capacity.
     Section 8.3 Action by Administrative Agent. The obligations of Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Article VII. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be administrative in nature. Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.5 and 8.6, the Administrative Agent shall administer the Loans in the same manner as it administers its own loans.
     Section 8.4 Consultation with Experts. As between the Administrative Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Credit Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be

71


 

liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
     Section 8.5 Liability of Administrative Agent. As between the Administrative Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. As between the Administrative Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Credit Party; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered to such Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. As between the Administrative Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.
     Section 8.6 Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment, indemnify the Administrative Agent and its affiliates and its directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by a Credit Party) against any cost, expense (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitee may suffer or incur in connection with its duties as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall, subsequent to its receipt of indemnification payment(s) from Banks in accordance with this section, recoup any amount from the Borrower, or any other party liable therefor in connection with such indemnification, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse the Banks which previously made the payment(s) pro rata, based upon the actual amounts which were theretofore paid by each Bank. The Administrative Agent shall reimburse such Banks so entitled to reimbursement within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of such funds from the Borrower or such other party liable therefor.
     Section 8.7 Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.
     Section 8.8 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Credit Parties, and the Administrative Agent shall resign in the event its Commitment (without participants) is reduced to less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) unless as a result of a cancellation or reduction in the aggregate Commitments. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to Guarantors’ approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and approved by the Guarantors, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be the Administrative Agent, who shall act until the Majority Banks shall appoint an

72


 

Administrative Agent. Any appointment of a successor Administrative Agent by the Majority Banks or the retiring Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Guarantors’ approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent. For gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by all the Banks (excluding for such determination the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Bank), the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and Guarantors. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.8.
     Section 8.9 Consents and Approvals. All communications from the Administrative Agent to the Banks requesting the Banks’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval: (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Bank; (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Bank where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved; (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Bank and to the extent not previously provided to such Bank, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved; (iv) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof; and (v) shall include the following clause in capital letters, “FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN THE BANK REPLY PERIOD SHALL BE DEEMED CONSENT TO THE RECOMMENDATION SET FORTH HEREIN.” Each Bank shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from the Administrative Agent (the “Bank Reply Period”). Unless a Bank shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the Bank Reply Period, such Bank shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the, Majority Banks or all the Banks, the Administrative Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to all Banks and upon receiving the required approval or consent (or deemed approval or consent, as the case may be) shall follow the course of action or determination of the Majority Banks or all the Banks (and each non-responding Bank shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of action), as the case may be.
ARTICLE IX
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
     Section 9.1 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.
          (a) If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts), are not being offered in the London interbank market for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. In such event (i) unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent on or before the second (2nd) Euro-Dollar Business Day before, but excluding, the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for Dollars for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously

73


 

been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing for a Euro-Dollar Borrowing denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be ineffective.
          (b) If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that deposits in Hong Kong Dollars, Singapore Dollars or Euros (in the applicable amounts), are not being offered in the Hong Kong, Singapore or Frankfurt am Main interbank market, as applicable, for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in such Alternate Currency shall be suspended. In such event any Notice of Borrowing for a Euro-Dollar Borrowing denominated in such Alternate Currency shall be ineffective.
          (c) If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that deposits in Canadian Dollars (in the applicable amounts), are not being offered in the London or Toronto interbank markets, for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars bearing interest by reference to Canadian LIBOR (in the case where deposits in Canadian Dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered in the London interbank market) or CDOR (in the case where deposits in Canadian Dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered in the Toronto interbank market) shall be suspended. In the event that Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars by reference to neither Canadian LIBOR nor CDOR are available, unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent on or before the second (2nd) Euro-Dollar Business Day before, but excluding, the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for Canadian Dollars for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing on the date of such Euro-Dollar Borrowing, if such day is a Business Day, or otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day.
     Section 9.2 Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) (x) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans, or (y) to participate in any Letter of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank, or, with respect to the Fronting Bank, to issue a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrowers, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank in the case of the event described in clause (x) above to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or in the case of the event described in clause (y) above, to participate in any Letter of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank or, with respect to the Fronting Bank, to issue any Letter of Credit, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.2, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office (or in the case of Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, a different Domestic Lending Office) if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election and such Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted as of such date to a Base Rate Loan (without payment of any amounts that such Borrower would otherwise be

74


 

obligated to pay pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof with respect to Loans converted pursuant to this Section 9.2) in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such a Base Rate Loan.
     If at any time, it shall be unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans, the Guarantor shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to either: (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and to become a Bank hereunder, or obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept; or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest due thereon and any and all fees due hereunder, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitments shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.9(e).
     Section 9.3 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
          (a) If, on or after the date hereof (the “Loan Effective Date”), the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made at the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement reflected in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage)), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in existence as of the Loan Effective Date affecting such Bank’s Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note, or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loans, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower(s) shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Bank to the Euro-Dollar Loans made by such Bank hereunder) as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances.
          (b) If any Bank shall have reasonably determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower(s) shall pay to such

75


 

Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances.
          (c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 9.3 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall fail to notify the Borrowers of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then the Borrowers’ liability for any amounts described in this Section 9.3 incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified Borrowers of the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 9.3(c) and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
          (d) If at any time, any Bank shall be owed amounts pursuant to this Section 9.3, the Guarantors shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent to either: (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept; or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.9(e).
     Section 9.4 Taxes.
          (a) Lender Taxes. Any and all payments by any Credit Party to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto and excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Bank, Excess Withholding Taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, is organized or maintains an Applicable Lending Office or by any other jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank or Administrative Agent and such other jurisdiction arising other than as a result of entering into the transactions contemplated herein (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Lender Taxes”), except to the extent required by applicable law. If any Credit Party shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Lender Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Letter of Credit, then: (i) such Credit Party shall make such deductions and withholdings and provide prompt written notice of any such deductions or withholdings to the Administrative Agent; (ii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld, taking into account any Additional Amount, to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law; (iii) such Credit Party shall obtain a valid receipt from such taxing authority which evidences such payment; (iv) the amount payable to the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or the Bank shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings of Lender Taxes, including deductions and withholdings of Taxes applicable to additional amounts payable under this clause (iv), the Administrative Agent, Fronting Bank or such Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would

76


 

have received had no such deductions or withholdings of Taxes been made (such increased amount, an “Additional Amount”); and (v) such Credit Party shall furnish the valid receipt described in clause (iii) above (or a certified copy of such valid receipt) to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Fronting Bank and Bank within fifteen (15) days after its receipt by such Credit Party(s).
          (b) Later Tax Notification. In the event that Lender Taxes not imposed as of the Closing Date are subsequently imposed, or Lender Taxes imposed as of the Closing Date increase, the applicable Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the affected Credit Party of such event in writing within a reasonable period following receipt of knowledge thereof. If such Bank shall fail to notify the affected Credit Party of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then the affected Credit Party’s liability for such additional Lender Taxes incurred by such Bank as a result of such event (including payment of any Additional Amount) shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified the affected Credit Party of the occurrence of such event.
          (c) Other Taxes. In addition, each Credit Party agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made by such Credit Party under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). If any Credit Party shall be required to deduct or pay any Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, such Credit Party shall also pay to the Administrative Agent or to such Bank, as the case may be, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that the Administrative Agent or such Bank specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) that the Administrative Agent or such Bank would have received if such Other Taxes had not been imposed.
          (d) Indemnification. Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank, and each Bank for: (i) the full amount of Lender Taxes and Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank, or such Bank with respect to such Credit Party; and (ii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided, that, as to additional tax, penalties, interest or expenses relating to Other Taxes, the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank, or such Bank has provided reasonably prompt notice to such Credit Party after first becoming aware of such Other Taxes and such Credit Party has failed to pay such Other Taxes as required by Section 9.4(c), in each case whether or not such Lender Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the date the affected Bank, the Fronting Bank, or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor. Nothing in this subsection (d) shall require any Credit Party to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank, or any Bank for any amount or liability as a result of or arising out of the payment made by the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank, or a Bank to any other Person (other than payments made by the Administrative Agent to the Fronting Bank or a Bank), including, without limitation any Participant.
          (e) Tax Forms. (i) (A) Each Bank that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Credit Party(s) pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Credit Party(s) pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the AMB and the Administrative

77


 

Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (1) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Credit Party(s) and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Credit Party(s) pursuant to this Agreement, (2) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (3) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Foreign Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Applicable Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable laws that the affected Credit Party(s) make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender. If the form provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Lender Taxes” as defined in Section 9.4(a).
(B) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Foreign Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Foreign Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Foreign Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Foreign Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Foreign Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Foreign Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Foreign Lender.
(C) The affected Credit Party shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 9.4(a), (A) with respect to any Lender Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Foreign Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 9.4(e) or (B) if such Foreign Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.4(e); provided, that if such Foreign Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 9.4(e) on the date such Lender became a Foreign Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 9.4(e) shall relieve the affected Credit Party(s) of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 9.4(a) in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Foreign Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Foreign Lender or other Person for the account of which such Foreign Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.
(D)(i) The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Lender Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the affected Credit Party(s) is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 9.4(e).
               (ii) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or AMB LP, each Bank that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the

78


 

Administrative Agent and AMB LP two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such Bank fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction.
               (iii) If any governmental authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Bank, such Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.4(e)(D)(iii), and costs and expenses (including the fees, expenses and disbursements of outside counsel and, without duplication, the allocated cost of internal legal services and all expenses and disbursements of internal counsel) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Banks under this Section 9.4(e)(D)(iii) shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.
          (f) Additional Documents. Upon reasonable demand by an affected Credit Party to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, the Administrative Agent or Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver to the affected Credit Party, or to such government or taxing authority as the affected Credit Party may reasonably direct, any form or document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow the affected Credit Party to make a payment to or for the account of such Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Lender Taxes or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the affected Credit Party making such demand and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required certification.
          (g) Failure to Provide Additional Documents. For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Credit Party(s) with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 9.4(e) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.4(d) with respect to Lender Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Lender Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the affected Credit Party shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes so long as the affected Credit Party shall incur no cost or liability as a result thereof.
          (h) Right of Substitution or Prepayment. If at any time, any Bank shall be owed amounts pursuant to this Section 9.4, the Credit Party(s) shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.09(c).
     Section 9.5 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans. If: (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 9.2; or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Sections 9.3 or 9.4 with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrowers shall, by at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section 9.5 shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until

79


 

such Bank notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:
          (a) Each Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect to such affected Euro-Dollar Loans and thereafter all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank to such Borrower as Dollar-denominated Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans and no Borrowing from such Bank would take effect with respect to Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency; and
          (b) after each Euro-Dollar Loan of any Borrower has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay such Borrower’s Base Rate Loans instead; and
          (c) No Borrower will be required to make any payment which would otherwise be required by Section 2.12 with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loans converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a) above.
     Section 9.6 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents in respect of Canadian Dollar Loans (including Canadian Base Rate Loans) shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall receive interest in respect of Canadian Dollar Loans in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the applicable Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Bank in respect of Canadian Dollar Loans exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

     Section 10.2 Electronic Delivery of Certain Documents. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1(a), 6.1(b), 6.1(e) and 6.1(f) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which such documents: (a) are delivered by electronic mail; or (b) are posted on any Guarantor’s or any Borrower’s behalf on IntraLinks or another relevant website, if any, to which each Bank and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided, that: (i) such Guarantor or such Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or any Bank that requests such Guarantor or such Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Bank; and (ii) in the case of delivery by means of posting as set forth in the foregoing clause (b), such Guarantor or such Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent and each Bank of the delivery by electronic mail or the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent, by electronic mail, electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance such Guarantor shall be required to provide paper copies of the compliance certificate required by Section 6.1(c) to the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks. Except for such compliance certificate, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by Guarantors with any such request for delivery, and each Bank shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents.
     Section 10.3 No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
     Section 10.4 Expenses; Indemnification.
          (a) The Borrowers shall pay within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Administrative Agent: (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel Haynes and Boone, L.L.P.), in connection with the preparation of this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein, and any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder; (ii) all reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel in connection with the syndication of the Loans; and (iii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks, in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the instruments referred to therein and such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom; provided, however, that the attorneys’ fees and disbursements for which the Borrowers are obligated under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable non-duplicative fees and disbursements of: (A) counsel for the Administrative Agent; and (B) counsel for all of the Banks as a group; and provided, further, that all other costs and expenses for which the Borrowers are obligated under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable non-duplicative costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent.

          (b) Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be asserted against any Indemnitee, as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of: (i) any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document; (ii) any violation by AMB LP or the Environmental Affiliates of any applicable Environmental Law; (iii) any Environmental Claim arising out of the management, use, control, ownership or operation of property or assets by any Borrower, AMB LP or any of the Environmental Affiliates, including, without limitation, all on-site and off-site activities of any Borrower, AMB LP or any Environmental Affiliate involving Materials of Environmental Concern; (iv) the breach of any environmental representation or warranty set forth herein, but excluding those liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses: (a) for which such Indemnitee has been compensated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (b) incurred solely by reason of the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud of any Indemnitee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; (c) arising from violations of Environmental Laws relating to a Property which are caused by the act or omission of such Indemnitee after such Indemnitee takes possession of such Property; or (d) owing by such Indemnitee to any third party based upon contractual obligations of such Indemnitee owing to such third party which are not expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. In addition, the indemnification set forth in this Section 10.4(b) in favor of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall be solely in their respective capacities as such director, officer, agent or employee. The Credit Parties obligations under this Section 10.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 10.4, each Credit Party shall indemnify and hold each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks free and harmless from and against all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), expenses, taxes, and damages (including consequential damages) that the Administrative Agent and the Banks may suffer or incur by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA or the Code necessary in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment by reason of the inaccuracy of the representations and warranties, or a breach of the provisions, set forth in Section 5.6(b).
     Section 10.5 Sharing of Set-Offs. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations of such Credit Party then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Bank. Each Bank agrees that if it shall by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by it or Letter of Credit

82


 

participated in by it or, in the case of the Fronting Bank, Letter of Credit issued by it, which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Notes held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Notes held by the Banks or Letters of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section 10.5 shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have to any deposits not received in connection with the Loans and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrowers other than its indebtedness under the Notes or a Letter of Credit. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Note or Letter of Credit, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the applicable Borrower in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank may, by separate agreement with any Borrower, waive its right to set off contained herein or granted by law and any such written waiver shall be effective against such Bank under this Section 10.5.
     Section 10.6 Amendments and Waivers. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.20, any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, or the Letters of Credit or other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the Majority Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided, that no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit, or any other Loan Documents shall, (a) unless signed by all the affected Banks: (i) increase or decrease the Commitment or Currency Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments or Currency Commitment of all Banks or an increase pursuant to Section 2.15(c)) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation; (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder; (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment or Currency Commitment; (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or Currency Commitment (except for an increase pursuant to Section 2.15(c)) or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes; or (v) release the Guaranty; (b) unless signed by all the Banks, change the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section 10.6 or any other provision of this Agreement and (c) unless signed by all Banks, amend or modify the provisions of this Section 10.6; provided, further, that Section 2.15(c) shall not be amended to directly or indirectly increase the Currency Commitment of any Bank with a Currency Commitment of $0 in any Tranche unless signed by each such Bank.
     Section 10.7 Successors and Assigns.
          (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Credit Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank and no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) below, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) below, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) below, (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto 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, Participants (as hereinafter defined) to the extent provided in subsection (d) below and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

83


 

          (b) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank with respect to a Bank, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, AMB LP otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, including a proportionate part of each Currency Commitment of such assigning Bank; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment (which includes the Loans outstanding thereunder) must be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, AMB LP (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Bank (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee; provided, however, that if an Assignee is an Affiliate of such transferor Bank or was a Bank immediately prior to such assignment, no consent of the Borrower shall be required); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 9.3, 9.4 and 10.4 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower(s) (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations to the extent such sale is made in accordance with the requirements of subsection (d) below.
          (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Credit Parties, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments, including the Currency Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Credit Parties and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
          (d) Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, or the Fronting Bank, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (other than a natural person or a Credit Party or any Affiliates or Subsidiaries of any Credit Party) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the

84


 

performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification to Section 10.6 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) below, the Credit Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 9.3 and 9.4 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) above. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.5 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Bank. No Participant in any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and obligations, except to an Eligible Assignee.
          (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 9.3 or 9.4 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with AMB LP’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.4 unless the Credit Parties are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, to comply with Section 9.4(e) as though it were a Bank.
          (f) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes, including without limitation any participations in drawings under Letters of Credit and the right to receive reimbursement in respect thereof from the applicable Borrowers (or, in the case of the Fronting Bank, the right to receive reimbursement in respect of its loans resulting from such drawing), to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.
          (g) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Bank shall be permitted to enter into an assignment of, or sell a participation interest in, its rights and obligations hereunder which would result in such Bank holding a Commitment without participants of less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (or in the case of the Administrative Agent, Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)) unless as a result of a cancellation or reduction of the aggregate Commitments; provided, however, that no Bank shall be prohibited from assigning its entire Commitment so long as such assignment is otherwise permitted under this Section 10.7.
     Section 10.8 Collateral.
          (a) Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.
          (b) In order to secure certain Obligations hereunder as specified by any Guarantor and/or Qualified Borrower, Guarantors and/or Qualified Borrowers may, at their sole discretion, grant Liens on certain of their assets in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (the “Lien Documentation”), and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Lien Documentation and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such Lien shall be released by the Administrative Agent upon request of the Guarantors or the Qualified Borrower granting such Lien.

     Section 10.9 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Judgment Currency.
          (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW).
          (b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement or the relevant Qualified Borrower Joinder Agreement, each Credit Party hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any thereof. Each Credit Party irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the hand delivery, or mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Credit Party at its address set forth below. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Credit Party in any other jurisdiction.
          (c) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the spot rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the first currency could be purchased in New York City with such other currency by the person obtaining such judgment on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
          (d) The parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the obligations of the Guarantors or any Borrower to make payments in any currency of the principal of and interest on the Loans of the Borrowers and any other amounts due from the Guarantors or any Borrower hereunder to the Administrative Agent as provided herein: (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with Section 10.8(c)), in any currency other than the relevant currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent at its relevant office on behalf of the Banks of the full amount of the relevant currency expressed to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due hereunder (it being assumed for purposes of this clause (i) that the Administrative Agent will convert any amount tendered or recovered into the relevant currency on the date of such tender or recovery); (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the relevant currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the relevant currency so expressed to be payable; and (iii) shall not be affected by an unrelated judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Agreement.
     Section 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the

86


 

Administrative Agent and each Guarantor of counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such party).
     Section 10.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
     Section 10.12 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making and repayment of the Loans hereunder.
     Section 10.13 Domicile of Loans. Each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any domestic or foreign branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank.
     Section 10.14 Limitation of Liability.

     Section 10.15 Recourse Obligation. This Agreement and the Obligations hereunder are fully recourse to the Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be had against: (i) any officer, director, shareholder or employee of any Credit Party; or (ii) any general partner of AMB LP other than AMB, in each case except in the event of fraud or misappropriation of funds on the part of such officer, director, shareholder or employee or such general partner.
     Section 10.16 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Bank shall use reasonable efforts to assure that information about each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and Investment Affiliates, and the Properties thereof and their operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Bank pursuant to the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document (“Confidential Information”) is used only for the purposes of this Agreement and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Banks, and their head offices, other branches, affiliates and respective officers, directors, employees and agents who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan and other transactions between such Bank and the Credit Parties, except: (i) to their attorneys and accountants; (ii) in connection with the enforcement of the rights and exercise of any remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Banks hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (iii) in connection with assignments and participations and the solicitation of prospective assignees and participants referred to in Section 10.7 hereof, who have agreed in writing to be bound by a confidentiality agreement substantially equivalent to the terms of this Section 10.16; and (iv) as may otherwise be required or requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or any Bank or by any applicable law, rule, regulation or judicial process (but only to the extent not in violation, conflict or inconsistent with the applicable regulatory requirement, request, summons or subpoena); provided, however, that in the event a Bank receives a summons or subpoena to disclose Confidential Information to any party, such Bank shall, if legally permitted, endeavor to notify the affected Credit Party thereof as soon as possible after receipt of such request, summons or subpoena and such

87


 

Credit Party shall be afforded an opportunity to seek protective orders, or such other confidential treatment of such disclosed information, as such Credit Party and Administrative Agent may deem reasonable.
     Section 10.17 Bank’s Failure to Fund.
          (a) If a Bank does not advance to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of a Loan in accordance herewith, then neither the Administrative Agent nor the other Banks shall be required or obligated to fund such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Loan.
          (b) As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
               (i) “Defaulting Bank” shall mean any Bank which: (x) does not advance to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of a Loan in accordance herewith for a period of five (5) Business Days after notice of such failure from the Administrative Agent; (y) shall otherwise fail to perform such Bank’s obligations under the Loan Documents (including without limitation, the obligation to purchase participations pursuant to Section 2.3) for a period of five (5) Business Days after notice of such failure from the Administrative Agent; or (z) shall fail to pay the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, as the case may be, upon demand, such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of any costs, expenses or disbursements incurred or made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents for a period of five (5) Business Days after notice of such failure from Administrative Agent, and in all cases, such failure is not as a result of a good faith dispute as to whether such advance is properly required to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or as to whether such other performance or payment is properly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
               (ii) “Junior Creditor” means any Defaulting Bank which has not: (x) fully cured each and every default on its part under the Loan Documents and (y) unconditionally tendered to the Administrative Agent such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of all costs, expenses and disbursements required to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.
               (iii) “Payment in Full” means, as of any date, the receipt by the Banks who are not Junior Creditors of an amount of cash in the relevant currency sufficient to indefeasibly pay in full all Senior Debt.
               (iv) “Senior Debt” means: (x) collectively, any and all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Banks who are not Junior Creditors from time to time, whether fixed or contingent, direct or indirect, joint or several, due or not due, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise, whether on open account or evidenced by one or more instruments, and whether for principal, premium, interest (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any proceeding referred to in Section 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), reimbursement for fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise, which arise under, in connection with or in respect of the Loans or the Loan Documents; and (y) any and all deferrals, renewals, extensions and refundings of, or amendments, restatements, rearrangements, modifications or supplements to, any such indebtedness, obligation or liability.
               (v) “Subordinated Debt” means: (x) any and all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to one or more Junior Creditors from time to time, whether fixed or contingent, direct or indirect, joint or several, due or not due, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise, whether on open account or evidenced by one or more instruments, and whether for principal, premium, interest (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any proceeding referred to in Sections 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), reimbursement for fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise, which arise under, in connection with or in respect of the

88


 

Loans or the Loan Documents; and (y) any and all deferrals, renewals, extensions and refundings of, or amendments, restatements, rearrangements, modifications or supplements to, any such indebtedness, obligation or liability.
          (c) Immediately upon a Bank’s becoming a Junior Creditor and until such time as such Bank shall have cured all applicable defaults, no Junior Creditor shall, prior to Payment in Full of all Senior Debt:
               (i) accelerate, demand payment of, sue upon, collect, or receive any payment upon, in any manner, or satisfy or otherwise discharge, any Subordinated Debt, whether for principal, interest and otherwise;
               (ii) take or enforce any Liens to secure Subordinated Debt or attach or levy upon any assets of any Credit Party, to enforce any Subordinated Debt;
               (iii) enforce or apply any security for any Subordinated Debt; or
               (iv) incur any debt or liability, or the like, to, or receive any loan, return of capital, advance, gift or any other property, from, any Credit Party.
          (d) In the event of:
               (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, judicial management, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding relating to any Credit Party;
               (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of any Credit Party, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency, reorganization or bankruptcy proceedings;
               (iii) any assignment by any Credit Party for the benefit of creditors;
               (iv) any sale or other transfer of all or substantially all assets of any Credit Party; or
               (v) any other marshaling of the assets of any Credit Party;
each of the Banks shall first have received Payment in Full of all Senior Debt before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made in respect of or upon any Subordinated Debt. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property that would otherwise be payable or deliverable in respect of Subordinated Debt to any Junior Creditor but for this provision shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Banks in accordance with this Agreement until Payment in Full of all Senior Debt. If any Junior Creditor receives any such payment or distribution, it shall promptly pay over or deliver the same to the Administrative Agent for application in accordance with the preceding sentence.
          (e) Each Junior Creditor shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding of any Credit Party in which the filing of claims is required by law, all claims relating to Subordinated Debt that such Junior Creditor may have against such Credit Party in a manner as directed by the Administrative Agent. If such Junior Creditor does not file any such claim as directed by the Administrative Agent prior to forty-five (45) days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for such Junior Creditor, is hereby irrevocably authorized to do so in the name of such Junior Creditor. The foregoing

89


 

power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. The Administrative Agent shall, to the exclusion of each Junior Creditor, have the sole right, subject to Section 10.6 hereof, to accept or reject any plan proposed in any such proceeding and to take any other action that a party filing a claim is entitled to take. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the Person or Persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount payable on such claim for application to the payment of all Senior Debt.
          (f) (i) If any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be received by any Junior Creditor in contravention of any of the terms hereof, the Junior Creditor shall forthwith make available the payment or distribution so received or transfer the security so received to the Administrative Agent for application to the payment of all Senior Debt, to the extent necessary to achieve Payment in Full. In the event of the failure of any Junior Creditor to make available or transfer any such payment, distribution or security, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to do so in the name of such Junior Creditor.
               (ii) Each Junior Creditor shall take such action (including, without limitation, the execution and filing of a financing statement with respect to this Agreement and the execution, verification, delivery and filing of proofs of claim, consents, assignments or other instructions that the Administrative Agent may require from time to time in order to prove or realize upon any rights or claims pertaining to Subordinated Debt or to effectuate the full benefit of the subordination contained herein) as may, in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, be necessary or desirable to assure the effectiveness of the subordination effected by this Agreement.
          (g) (i) Each Bank that becomes a Junior Creditor understands and acknowledges by its execution hereof that each other Bank is entering into this Agreement and the Loan Documents in reliance upon the absolute subordination in right of payment and in time of payment of Subordinated Debt to Senior Debt as set forth herein.
               (ii) Only upon the Payment in Full of all Senior Debt shall any Junior Creditor be subrogated to any remaining rights of the Banks which are not Defaulting Banks to receive payments or distributions of assets of any Credit Party made on or applicable to any Senior Debt.
               (iii) Each Junior Creditor agrees that it will deliver all instruments or other writings evidencing any Subordinated Debt held by it to the Administrative Agent, promptly after request therefor by the Administrative Agent.
               (iv) No Junior Creditor may at any time sell, assign or otherwise transfer any Subordinated Debt, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, the granting of any Lien thereon, unless and until satisfaction of the requirements of Section 10.7 above and the proposed transferee shall have assumed in writing the obligation of the Junior Creditor to the Banks under this Agreement, in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
               (v) If any of the Senior Debt, should be invalidated, avoided or set aside, the subordination provided for herein nevertheless shall continue in full force and effect and, as between the Banks which are not Defaulting Banks and all Junior Creditors, shall be and be deemed to remain in full force and effect.
               (vi) Each Junior Creditor hereby irrevocably waives, in respect of Subordinated Debt, all rights: (x) under Sections 361 through 365, 502(e) and 509 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar sections hereafter in effect under any other Federal, state or provincial laws or legal or equitable principles relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganizations, liquidations or otherwise for the relief of debtors or

90


 

protection of creditors); and (y) to seek or obtain conversion to a different type of proceeding or to seek or obtain dismissal of a proceeding, in each case in relation to a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other proceeding under similar laws with respect to the Credit Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Junior Creditor hereby specifically waives: (A) the right to seek to give credit (secured or otherwise) to a Credit Party in any way under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code unless the same is subordinated in all respects to Senior Debt in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion; and (B) the right to receive any collateral security (including, without limitation, any “super priority” or equal or “priming” or replacement Lien) for any Subordinated Debt unless the Banks which are not Defaulting Banks have received a senior position acceptable to the Banks in their sole and absolute discretion to secure all Senior Debt (in the same collateral to the extent collateral is involved).
          (h) (i) In addition to and not in limitation of the subordination effected by this Section 10.17, the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks which are not Defaulting Banks may in their respective sole and absolute discretion, also exercise any and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity in respect of a Defaulting Bank; and
               (ii) The Administrative Agent shall give each of the Banks notice of the occurrence of a default under this Section 10.17 by a Defaulting Bank and if the Administrative Agent and/or one or more of the other Banks shall, at their option, fund any amounts required to be paid or advanced by a Defaulting Bank, the other Banks who have elected not to fund any portion of such amounts shall not be liable for any reimbursements to the Administrative Agent and/or to such other funding Banks.
          (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied herein, a Defaulting Bank shall not be entitled to vote on any matter as to which a vote by the Banks is required hereunder, including, without limitation, any actions or consents on the part of the Administrative Agent as to which the approval or consent of all the Banks or the Majority Banks is required under Article IX, Section 10.6 or elsewhere, so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank; provided, however, that in the case of any vote requiring the unanimous consent of the Banks, if all the Banks other than the Defaulting Bank shall have voted in accordance with each other, then the Defaulting Bank shall be deemed to have voted in accordance with such Banks.
          (j) Each of the Administrative Agent and any one or more of the Banks which are not Defaulting Banks may, at their respective option: (i) advance to the Borrowers such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans not advanced by a Defaulting Bank in accordance with the Loan Documents; or (ii) pay to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of any costs, expenses or disbursements incurred or made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement not theretofore paid by a Defaulting Bank. Immediately upon the making of any such advance by the Administrative Agent or any one of the Banks, such Bank’s Pro Rata Share and the Pro Rata Share of the Defaulting Bank shall be recalculated to reflect such advance. All payments, repayments and other disbursements of funds by the Administrative Agent to Banks shall thereupon and, at all times thereafter be made in accordance with such Bank’s recalculated Pro Rata Share unless and until a Defaulting Bank shall fully cure all defaults on the part of such Defaulting Bank under the Loan Documents or otherwise existing in respect of the Loans or this Agreement, at which time the Pro Rata Share of the Bank(s) which advanced sums on behalf of the Defaulting Bank and of the Defaulting Bank shall be restored to their original percentages.
          (k) For the avoidance of doubt, none of the provisions in this Section 10.17 shall have the effect of creating a Lien in favor of the Senior Creditors over the Subordinated Debt and/or other related rights and claims of the Junior Creditors.
     Section 10.18 Banks’ ERISA Covenant. Each Bank, by its signature hereto or on the applicable Assignment and Assumption, hereby agrees: (a) that on the date any Loan is disbursed hereunder no portion

91


 

of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Loan will constitute “assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101 of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code; and (b) that following such date such Bank shall not allocate such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of any Loan to an account of such Bank if such allocation: (i) by itself would cause such Pro Rata Share of such Loan to then constitute “assets” (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code and (ii) by itself would cause such Loan to constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code (which is not exempt from the restrictions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code and the taxes and penalties imposed by Section 4975 of the Code and Section 502(i) of ERISA) or any Agent or Bank being deemed in violation of Section 404 of ERISA.
     Section 10.19 Several Obligations; Communication with Borrowers. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are several and not joint and each Borrower shall be liable only in respect of Loans made to such Borrower and the Obligations of such Borrower related thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Banks shall have the right to communicate solely with Guarantors regarding any matter herein, including, without limitation, any borrowing, repayment, continuation or conversion of any Loan made to any Borrower. Each Borrower hereby grants to each Guarantor an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to deliver all notices, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of such Borrower, as shall be deemed by such Guarantor to be necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion, reasonably exercised to effect the agreements and Obligations of such Borrower hereunder, and neither Guarantor shall incur any liability, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney.
     Section 10.20 Amendments to AMB Revolving Credit Facility Covenants. The definitions of “Applicable Fee Percentage,” “Applicable Margin,” and “Investment Grade” set forth in Section 1.1, and the provisions in Sections 6.1, 6.8 through 6.14 and 7.1(b) through 7.1(r), contain essentially the same provisions with respect to AMB and AMB LP as those contained in the definitions of “Applicable Fee Percentage,” “Applicable Margin,” and “Investment Grade” set forth in Section 1.1 and Sections 5.1, 5.8 through 5.14 and 6.1(b) through 6.1(r) of the AMB Revolving Credit Agreement (the “AMB Revolver Provisions”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Guarantors or the Administrative Agent under the AMB Revolving Credit Agreement propose to modify, waive or restate, or request a consent or approval with respect to, the AMB Revolver Provisions (and related definitions) of the AMB Revolving Credit Agreement in writing (which may include a written waiver of an existing actual or potential Default or Event of Default that is intended to be eliminated by such modification, restatement or waiver) (individually, a “Covenant Modification”), then simultaneously with the agreement to or granting of such Covenant Modification under the AMB Revolving Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed modified or restated, or waiver, consent or approval granted, in a manner consistent with the Covenant Modifications under the AMB Revolving Credit Agreement, it being understood that the differences between the AMB Revolving Credit Agreement and this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, are intended by the parties to be reflected in any future amendments of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.20; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.20 shall be deemed to make, or obligate the parties to make, any modification of the values set forth in the tables contained in the definitions of “Applicable Fee Percentage” or “Applicable Margin” in Section 1.1 as a result of a Covenant Modification or otherwise. If requested by a Borrower, Guarantor or the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, Guarantors, Administrative Agent and each Bank shall execute and deliver a written amendment to, restatement of, or waiver, consent or approval under, this Agreement memorializing such modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval.
     Section 10.21 Syndication Agent and Co-Documentation Agents. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Bank acknowledges and agrees that (a) the obligations of the Syndication Agents and the Co-Documentation Agents hereunder shall be limited to those obligations that are expressly

92


 

set forth herein, if any, and the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents shall not be required to take any action or assume any liability except as may be required in their respective capacities as a Bank hereunder, and (b) the indemnifications set forth herein for the benefit of the Administrative Agent shall also run to the benefit of the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents, as the case may be, to the extent it incurs any loss, cost or damage arising from its capacity as the Syndication Agent or a Co-Documentation Agents.
     Section 10.22 USA Patriot Act. Each Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrowers, AMB and AMB LP that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, AMB and AMB LP, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers, AMB and AMB LP and other information that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers, AMB and AMB LP in accordance with the Act.

Instructions to
Exhibit A to
Schedule 2.2
For a borrowing or a continuation:
1. In the section for the proposed currency, insert the date the loan is made or continued, and the FX rate to convert from the currency to USD.
2. For a new loan, replace the “0” loan amount in the formula with the proposed loan amount in that currency. The formula then calculates the USD equivalent amount. No change is needed if a loan is being continued.
3. Check the Available Commitment amounts in Column O for that currency. If any amounts are negative, the loan is not authorized.
4. Check the Total Available Commitment amounts at the top of the spreadsheet (Column G, rows 7-12). If any amounts are negative, the loan is not authorized.
Note: Letters of credit should be treated as if they were loans; however, the title should be changed to “LC Amount” for clarity.
For a loan payoff or LC expiration:
1. Delete the date and FX rate.
2. In the cell for the Loan Amt, change the amount in the formula for the USD calculation back to “0.”
