Item 1 — Information Contained in this Form 6-K Report

Press Releases

Attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 are copies of announcements by Teekay Corporation (the “Company”), each dated April 24, 2019, relating to the Company’s:

 

   

proposed offering of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) in a private placement to eligible purchasers under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Offering”), which Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and will initially be secured by first-priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on (i) two floating production, storage and off-loading (“FPSO”) units (and related assets) owned by Company subsidiaries, (ii) all shares of common stock of the Company’s subsidiary that owns all of the Company’s common units of Teekay LNG Partners L.P. and Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. and all of the Company’s Class A common shares of Teekay Tankers Ltd. and (iii) all equity interests in the Teekay subsidiaries that own two of the Company’s FPSO units; and

 

   

proposed cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase any and all of the Company’s outstanding 8.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). Concurrently with the Tender Offer, the Company is soliciting (the “Consent Solicitation”) from the holders representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes then outstanding (the “Requisite Consents”) a consent (the “Consent”) to certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) that will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default and related provisions from the indenture governing the 2020 Notes, including the covenant restricting the Company from granting liens on its assets for issuances of other debt securities unless the Company grants a pari passu lien on such assets in favor of the 2020 Notes.

Forward-looking statements

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Report on Form 6-K are forward-looking statements. In addition, we and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements that are also forward-looking statements. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, business prospects, changes and trends in our business, and the markets in which we operate. In some cases, you can identify the forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “propose,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

Forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 6-K include, among others, statements about consummation of the Offering and the Tender Offer and the results of the Consent Solicitation; anticipated funding of the Tender Offer, including potential borrowings under our Margin Loan Agreement (as described below); potential sales of shares of Teekay common stock under the Continuous Offering Program; our future financial condition and results of operations; our dividend policy and our payment of or our ability to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock, and the distribution and dividend policies of our Daughter Entities; our plans for Teekay Parent not to have a direct ownership in any conventional tankers and FPSO units, and increase its free cash flow, reduce its net debt and delever its balance sheet; the ability of our Daughter Entities to delever their balance sheets; expected deliveries of the LNG newbuilding vessels in connection with Teekay LNG’s receiving and regasification terminal in Bahrain which will be owned and operated by a new joint venture, in which Teekay LNG will hold a 30% ownership interest; the duration of shutdowns for vessels, including the Foinaven FPSO unit, for maintenance or drydocking, and related expenses and reduced revenue; our future growth prospects; the future valuation or potential impairment of our assets, including our FPSO units; the realization of contracted, forward fixed-rate revenues; compliance with financing agreements and the expected effect of restrictive covenants in such agreements; and our business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations.

These and other forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those risks discussed in “Risk factors” below and those risks discussed in other reports we file with the SEC, including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Annual Report”). We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the effect of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Note Offering

We expect to receive net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes in the Offering of approximately $289.6 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Offering to partially fund the Tender Offer and any fees and expenses thereof. We also intend to fund the Tender Offer with up to $160 million of existing cash and the remainder, if any, with additional borrowings under Teekay Parent’s equity margin revolving credit facility (which is secured by common units of Teekay LNG and Teekay Offshore and shares of Class A common stock of Teekay Tankers that are owned by Teekay Parent) (the “Margin Loan Agreement”). The Offering is conditioned upon the receipt of the Requisite Consents and the effectiveness of the Proposed Amendments. To the extent the net proceeds of the Offering exceed the amount needed, in addition to other sources of capital described above, to fund the Tender Offer, we may use the remaining net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of indebtedness.

As of April 1, 2019, the aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes outstanding was approximately $497.7 million.

The indenture that will govern the Notes will contain covenants that, among other things, include restrictions on our and the guarantors’ ability to:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;

 

   

pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our equity interests;

 

   

prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;

 

   

issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities;

 

   

make investments;

 

   

sell assets;

 

   

incur liens, including the granting of any lien on any of the Note collateral, or further pledging any of the Note collateral as security, subject to permitted liens;

 

   

enter into transactions with affiliates; and

 

   

consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

The indenture that will govern the Notes will also provide that under specific circumstances we may be required to offer to use all or a portion of the net proceeds of sales of our FPSO units or sales of Class B common stock of Teekay Tankers consummated prior to a specified non-call date to purchase Notes at a price equal to 103% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the repurchase date. The indenture will further provide that, we may be required under certain circumstances to offer to use all or a portion of the net proceeds of certain asset sales (other than a sale of an FPSO unit or shares of Class B common stock of Teekay Tankers prior to a specified non-call date) to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the repurchase date. In addition, the indenture will require us to comply with certain financial covenants.

Our business strategy

Our primary business strategies include the following:

 

   

Providing Superior, Cost-Effective Marine Operations By Maintaining High Reliability, Safety, Environmental and Quality Standards. Our operational focus is to continue to be an industry leader in safety and risk management, to maintain cost-effective operations, to ensure high-quality customer service with a large, diversified and well-maintained asset base, and to employ well-trained onshore and offshore staff. We believe achieving these objectives allows us to deliver superior services to our customers. We intend to continue to maintain significant operating, commercial, technical and administrative functions internally within the Teekay group to ensure stringent operational and quality control. We believe these strategies will enhance our ability to obtain repeat business from our customers and attract new customers, as well as to operate our fleet with greater efficiencies.

 

   

Pursuing a Chartering Strategy Focused on Long-Term Contracts with Upside Tanker Exposure. We intend to seek to increase cash flow by continuing to leverage the Teekay group’s recognized brand, operational capabilities and internal expertise to pursue a balanced mix of charters with new and existing customers. We intend to support Teekay LNG and Teekay Offshore in their continued focus on entering into long-term, fixed-rate contracts with creditworthy customers, which contracts we expect could generate additional cash flows to those entities and potential increased cash distributions to Teekay Parent. We also expect that Teekay Tankers will continue to take advantage of ongoing spot market opportunities through direct employment of its tankers in the spot market and through participating in and managing commercial pools of vessels. Teekay Tankers’ size, reputation and operational capabilities also provide opportunities for it to in-charter third party vessels, including vessels that may trade on the spot market. This provides Teekay Tankers flexibility in expanding or, by not renewing in-charters, reducing its fleet size in response to market conditions. We expect that these activities could result in significant future cash flows to Teekay Tankers and potential increased cash dividends to Teekay Parent to the extent the tanker market improves.

 

   

Continuing to Delever Our Balance Sheet as We Increase Cash Flows and Improve Our Financial Position Through Asset Sales. The Daughter Entities have taken delivery of a significant portion of their recent growth projects, substantially all of which have long-term contracted cash flows with strong counterparties. The Daughter Entities anticipate that potential cash flow from market improvements, if any, and expected cash flow from recent growth projects of Teekay LNG and Teekay Offshore will permit them to delever their respective balance sheets. Teekay Parent intends to continue to reduce its debt level through repayments using net proceeds from the potential sale of its FPSO units or other assets in the future and Teekay Parent cash flow growth from Teekay LNG’s anticipated common unit distribution increase of 36% in 2019 and further potential distribution or dividend increases by the Daughter Entities in the future.

 

   

Focusing on Prudent Capital Allocation to Maximize Value and Disciplined, Sustainable Growth. We believe that our customers value the Teekay group’s ability to offer a “one-stop-shop” for a comprehensive range of marine midstream logistical services through diverse and worldwide operations. Since 2004, we have

 

4


 

expanded the service offerings of the Teekay group to include marine transportation of LNG and LPG and, primarily through Teekay Offshore, ship-based oil production and storage and floating accommodation and ocean towage services. Many of our customers use more than one major service offering of the Teekay group. By pursuing new customer relationships and leveraging existing relationships, we seek to continue to grow our existing businesses and increase customer adoption of diversified service offerings in a disciplined, sustainable manner.

 

   

Continuing to Successfully Execute on Built-In Growth Opportunities. Teekay LNG’s four remaining LNG carrier newbuildings and its joint venture regasification terminal in Bahrain are scheduled to deliver in the second half of 2019 and are all fully financed. These vessels and projects have fixed-rate contracts with initial contract terms of between 20 and 26 years. Teekay Offshore has six shuttle tanker newbuildings scheduled to deliver in late-2019 through early-2021, two of which are scheduled to commence charter contracts and four of which will operate as part of Teekay Offshore’s contract of affreightment fleet servicing various North Sea fields. If, as expected, these vessels are delivered to and accepted by their charterers and these projects are completed on a timely basis, we believe these existing growth projects, together with other recently delivered growth projects, will significantly increase Teekay LNG’s and Teekay Offshore’s cash flows and continue to strengthen customer relationships and Teekay LNG’s and Teekay Offshore’s market positions.

Our competitive strengths

We believe that we are well-positioned to execute our business strategies based on the following competitive strengths:

 

   

Market Leadership in All Major Business Segments. We and Teekay Offshore are market leaders in each of the major segments in which we and it operate. Teekay LNG is the third largest independent owner of LNG carriers. Teekay Tankers is one of the world’s largest owners and operators of mid-sized crude tankers. Teekay Offshore is the world’s largest independent owner and operator of shuttle tankers, controlling approximately 37% of the tonnage of the world shuttle tanker fleet, and the fourth largest independent provider of leased FPSO unit solutions. We believe that the diversity and high-quality nature of our operations have contributed significantly to achieving these leadership positions in these segments. Given our scale, reputation for successfully developing logistically complex projects and operational excellence, we believe we and Teekay Offshore are well-positioned to pursue further opportunities.

 

   

Long-Term Contracted Revenue from a Diverse Set of Established, Creditworthy Customers. Over the last two decades, we have diversified the source of our revenues and cash flows beyond the cyclical spot tanker market and significantly increased the amount and proportion of our take-or-pay fixed-rate contracted revenue. Cash flows generated by Teekay LNG and Teekay Offshore are supported by large portfolios of medium- to long-term contracts with established, creditworthy customers. As of January 1, 2019, the Teekay group had approximately $16 billion of contracted, forward fixed-rate revenue, and the revenue-weighted average remaining term of all of its existing contracts was approximately 8.4 years (excluding spot market contracts and options to extend). In addition, we have developed strong relationships with our customers, which include major energy and utility companies, major oil traders, large oil and LNG consumers and petroleum product producers, government agencies, and various other entities that depend upon our essential marine transportation and production services as part of their production and logistics chain. Significant customers include BP plc, Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Chevron Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Naturgy Energy Group SA, Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company Limited and Royal Dutch Shell plc.

 

   

Improved Teekay Parent Free Cash Flow. Teekay Parent’s free cash flow significantly improved in 2018 compared to 2017, primarily due to high cash flows from its three, directly-owned FPSO units, which benefited from the commencement of contract renewals secured in 2017 on the Petrojarl Banff and Sevan Hummingbird FPSO units that provided upside exposure to strong oil prices and production, and from less shutdown time during 2018. We anticipate that cash flow from the FPSO units will be lower in 2019. We also anticipate lower general and administrative expenses for Teekay Parent as a result of cost-reduction initiatives and lower interest expense due to lower overall indebtedness following the repayment of secured debt and the repurchase of $95 million of our 2020 Notes since the beginning of 2018, the Offering and the Tender Offer. We believe Teekay LNG’s leading market position, substantial portfolio of long-term fixed-rate contracts and contracted newbuilding vessels will continue to provide stable and growing cash flow. We expect Teekay LNG’s cash flows to grow as a result of the delivery and start-up during 2019 of its remaining four newbuildings and the Bahrain regasification project, which we expect will help to delever its balance sheet. As

previously announced, Teekay LNG anticipates increasing its quarterly cash distributions on its common units by 36% commencing with the distribution payment to be made in May 2019, which would increase Teekay Parent’s free cash flow due to its ownership of Teekay LNG common units and Teekay LNG’s general partner. With an expected stronger balance sheet and expected growing cash flows, we anticipate that Teekay LNG would have increased future distribution capacity that, if paid out in cash distributions, would further improve Teekay Parent’s free cash flow. Additional cash flow and distributions could be generated by the other Teekay group members if (a) vessels or FPSO units currently earning rates that are below mid-cycle or existing rates are rechartered at higher rates or (b) for Teekay Tankers, tanker spot rates increase.

 

   

Strengthening Financial Positions. Since the beginning of 2018, Teekay Parent and the Daughter Entities have undertaken a number of initiatives to strengthen their balance sheets and liquidity positions. During this period, the Teekay group members have raised an aggregate of approximately $3.0 billion from debt and equity issuances, debt financings and refinancings and capital lease transactions, including $410 million at Teekay Parent, $1.1 billion at Teekay LNG, $289 million at Teekay Tankers and $1.2 billion at Teekay Offshore. Our strategic partnership with Brookfield significantly improved Teekay Offshore’s and Teekay Parent’s balance sheets and liquidity positions and removed all of Teekay Parent’s guarantees of Teekay Offshore’s liabilities. Teekay Parent repaid all of its secured debt and reduced the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2020 Notes by approximately $95 million using a portion of the proceeds from the common stock and convertible note offerings in January 2018. We expect the Daughter Entities’ balance sheets will naturally delever as growth projects ramp up or deliver and commence their respective charter contracts. Delevering could also occur if vessels or FPSO units of the Daughter Entities are rechartered at higher rates or, for Teekay Tankers, tanker spot rates increase. Teekay Parent also has the ability to further delever its balance sheet by repaying debt with net proceeds from the potential sale of Teekay Parent’s FPSO units or other assets in the future. Teekay Parent may also repay indebtedness with proceeds from anticipated sales of its common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) that the Company is entering into concurrently with the Offering, pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time through Citigroup, as the Company’s sales agent, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $63 million by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by the Company and Citigroup (the “Continuous Offering Program”).

 

   

Breadth and High Quality of Service Offerings that are Critical to Our Customers’ Production and Logistics Chains. The size, quality and breadth of the Teekay group’s fleet of approximately 205 vessels permit us to offer to customers a comprehensive range of marine midstream logistics services, including ship-based transportation, production, storage and other options. This has contributed to our prominent role in our customers’ logistics chains by positioning us as a “one-stop-shop” for these services and providing economies of scale. As a key, integrated partner in complex and capital-intensive energy projects, Teekay LNG and Teekay Offshore in particular often work closely with customers to build and operate assets to required design specifications and enter into long-term contracts with them before a vessel order is placed, resulting in a more sustainable business model and cash flow profile. We believe we are an industry leader in safety and environmental standards. We benefit from higher quality control over commercial and technical management due to our expertise in, and the Teekay group’s ability to perform, significant functions internally, such as operational and technical support, vessel maintenance, crewing, shipyard supervision, insurance and financial management services.

 

   

Experienced Management Team. The members of our senior management team have on average approximately 28 years of experience in the shipping industry, including an average of approximately 19 years with Teekay. Our executives have experience managing through multiple economic cycles and expertise across commercial, technical, financial and other functional management areas of our business, which helps promote a focused marketing effort, stringent quality and cost controls, and effective operations and safety monitoring.

We can provide no assurance that we will be able to implement our strategies or utilize our strengths as described above. For a further discussion of the risks we face, please read “Risk factors” below and those risks discussed in other reports we file with the SEC, including, without limitation, our 2018 Annual Report.

Summary financial and operating data

The following table presents, in each case for the periods and as of the dates indicated, (a) our summary consolidated financial and operating data and (b) certain summary financial and operating data of Teekay Parent.

The summary financial and operating data has been prepared on the following basis:

 

   

our historical consolidated financial and operating data as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2018 Annual Report;

 

   

our historical consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2016 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016;

 

   

our “As Further Adjusted” consolidated financial and operating data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 have been prepared by adjusting our historical consolidated financial and operating data for such periods to give effect to the following post-period events (the “Adjustments”), as if such events had occurred on January 1, 2017 (excluding in all instances adjustments for potential changes to interest expense, gain or losses on the repurchase of notes or change in the loss on deconsolidation that may occur as a result of these transactions being recorded as of January 1, 2017) and assuming that all outstanding 2020 Notes are tendered in the Tender Offer as of May 7, 2019 (the “Early Tender and Consent Date”):

 

   

the completion of the Brookfield Transaction (for a definition of this term and a description of the related transactions, please see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in our 2018 Annual Report);

 

   

the repurchase of $10.9 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes that occurred during January and February 2019 for $10.8 million;

 

   

our borrowing of approximately $64.2 million under the Margin Loan Agreement to fund the Tender Offer;

 

   

the Offering; and

 

   

the use of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes in the Offering, together with $160 million of existing cash and the anticipated borrowings under the Margin Loan Agreement, to fund the Tender Offer; and

 

   

the “As Further Adjusted” financial and operating data of Teekay Parent as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 have been prepared by subtracting from our historical consolidated financial and operating data for such periods, as prepared in the manner described above, the combined historical results of operations, cash flows and other data of Teekay LNG, Teekay Tankers and Teekay Offshore as of such dates and for such periods, except where otherwise noted, and adjusting the results for the Adjustments, to the extent applicable, as if such events had occurred on January 1, 2017 and assuming that all outstanding 2020 Notes are tendered in the Tender Offer as of the Early Tender and Consent Date to determine results for Teekay Parent.

As further adjusted results may not be indicative of future results. The as further adjusted financial and operating data for us and Teekay Parent assume the completion of the Adjustments (except for the Brookfield Transaction, which was completed on September 25, 2017) in the amounts assumed. Completion of any of the Adjustments that are not yet completed are subject to conditions, risks and uncertainties and there can be no assurance that any of such Adjustments will be completed in the amounts assumed, or at all.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 became effective for Teekay on January 1, 2018. We adopted ASU 2014-09 as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. As such, periods prior to January 1,

 

7


2018 were not retroactively adjusted. The impact to our historical consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2018 and our historical consolidated results of operation for the year ended December 31, 2018 was as follows:

 

   

We previously presented the net allocation for our vessels participating in revenue sharing arrangements (“RSAs”) as revenues. We have determined that we are the principal in voyages our vessels perform that are included in the RSAs. As such, the revenue from those voyages is presented in revenues and the difference between this amount and our net allocation from the RSA is presented as voyage expenses. This had the effect of increasing both revenues and voyage expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 by $292.6 million. There was no cumulative impact to opening equity as of January 1, 2018.

 

   

We manage vessels owned by our equity-accounted investments and third parties. Upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09, costs incurred by us for our seafarers are presented as vessel operating expenses and the reimbursement of such expenses are presented as revenue, instead of such amounts being presented on a net basis. This had the effect of increasing both revenues and vessel operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 by $82.9 million. There was no cumulative impact to opening equity as of January 1, 2018.

 

   

We previously presented all accrued revenue as a component of accounts receivable. We have determined that if the right to such consideration is conditioned upon something other than the passage of time, such accrued revenue should be presented apart from accounts receivable. This had the effect of increasing prepaid expenses and other and decreasing accounts receivable by $20.2 million as of December 31, 2018. There was no cumulative impact to opening equity as of January 1, 2018.

 

   

In certain cases, we incur pre-operational costs that relate directly to a specific customer contract, that generate or enhance our resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, whereby such costs are expected to be recovered via the customer contract. Such costs are now deferred and amortized over the duration of the customer contract. We previously expensed such costs as incurred unless the costs were directly reimbursable by the contract or if they were related to the mobilization of offshore assets to an oil field. This change had the effect of increasing other non-current assets by $3.5 million, investments in and advances to equity-accounted joint ventures by $2.2 million and total equity by $5.7 million as of December 31, 2018. This change did not have a material effect on our consolidated statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 2018. The cumulative increase to opening equity as of January 1, 2018 was $4.1 million.

Because we control the general partner of Teekay LNG and because we hold a majority of the voting power of Teekay Tankers, the financial results of these entities are included in Teekay’s consolidated financial results. However, Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers function with capital structures that are independent of each other and us, with each having publicly-traded equity.

On September 25, 2017, Teekay, Teekay Offshore and Brookfield finalized a strategic partnership which resulted in the deconsolidation of Teekay Offshore as of that date. We have accounted for our equity investment in Teekay Offshore using the equity method since September 25, 2017. This change in accounting method for our equity investment in Teekay Offshore has resulted in Teekay’s proportionate share of Teekay Offshore’s net profit or loss being reflected in net (loss) income from September 25, 2017. Prior to such date, each line item within our consolidated statement of (loss) income that comprises net (loss) income includes the results of Teekay Offshore on a 100% basis.

The table below includes four financial measures—net revenues, net debt, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA—which we use in our business and are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. We explain these measures, including such measures as further adjusted to reflect the Adjustments, and reconcile them to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the notes to the table below for the periods indicated in the table below. In addition, the table includes historical and financial operating data of Teekay Parent which are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP and are also reconciled to their most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following table should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2018 Annual Report. This table should also be read together with the section entitled “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” included in our 2018 Annual Report.

Voyage expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including any fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. Voyage expenses are typically paid by the customer under time charters and FPSO contracts and by us under voyage charters.

(2)

Under all types of charters and contracts for our vessels, except for bareboat charters, we are responsible for vessel operating expenses, which include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils and communication expenses. The two largest components of our vessel operating expenses are crew costs and repairs and maintenance.

(3)

Net revenues is a non-GAAP financial measure. Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, we use net revenues (defined as revenues less voyage expenses) as a measure of equating revenues generated from voyage charters to revenues generated from time charters, which assists us in making operating decisions about the deployment of our vessels and their performance. Under time charters, the charterer pays the voyage expenses, which are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including any bunker fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions, whereas under voyage-charter contracts the ship-owner pays these expenses. Some voyage expenses are fixed, and the remainder can be estimated. If we, as the ship-owner, pay the voyage expenses, we typically pass the approximate amount of these expenses on to our customers by charging higher rates under the contract or billing the expenses to them. As a result, although revenues from different types of contracts may vary, the net revenues after subtracting voyage expenses, which we call “net revenues,” are comparable across the different types of contracts. We principally use net revenues because it provides more meaningful information to us than revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Net revenues are also widely used by investors and analysts in the shipping industry for comparing financial performance between companies and to industry averages. Net revenues should not be considered as an alternative to revenues or any other measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. Net revenues is adjusted for expenses that we classify as voyage expenses and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles net revenues and net revenues as further adjusted with revenues.

(a)

Teekay manages vessels owned by its equity-accounted investments and third parties. Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, costs incurred by Teekay Parent for its seafarers are presented as vessel operating expenses and the reimbursement of such expenses is presented as revenue, instead of such amounts being presented on a net basis. This had the effect of increasing both revenues and vessel operating expenses of Teekay Parent for the year ended December 31, 2018 by $82.9 million.

(4)

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before foreign exchange (gain) loss, items included in other loss, asset impairments, loan loss provisions and net loss on sale of vessels, equipment and other operating assets, amortization of in-process revenue contracts, unrealized (gains) on derivative instruments, realized losses on interest rate swaps, loss on deconsolidation of Teekay Offshore, gain on sale of equity-accounted investments, write-downs related to equity-accounted investments, and our share of the above items in non-consolidated joint ventures which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as supplemental financial performance measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assist our management and security holders by increasing the comparability of our fundamental performance from period to period and against the fundamental performance of other companies in our industry that provide EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA-based information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods or companies of interest expense, taxes, depreciation or amortization (or other items in determining Adjusted EBITDA), which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. We believe that including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA benefit security holders in (a) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring our ongoing financial and operational strength and health in order to assess whether to continue to hold our equity, or debt securities, as applicable.

Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income, and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

EBITDA – As Further Adjusted and Adjusted EBITDA – As Further Adjusted consist of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable, as adjusted further to give effect to the Adjustments, as if such events had occurred on January 1, 2017. In addition, As Further Adjusted EBITDA for Teekay Parent for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 includes $16.8 million and $30.6 million, respectively, of distributions received from the Daughter Entities for such periods.

(b)

In June 2016, as part of its financing initiatives, Teekay Offshore canceled the construction contracts for its two UMS newbuildings. As a result, Teekay Offshore accrued for potential damages resulting from the cancellations and reversed contingent liabilities previously recorded that related to the delivery of the UMS newbuildings. This net loss provision of $23.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 is reported in other loss in our consolidated statements of income as of that date. The newbuilding contracts are held in Teekay Offshore’s separate subsidiaries and obligations of these subsidiaries are non-recourse to Teekay Offshore.

(c)

We hold cost-accounted investments at cost. During 2016, we recorded a write-down of an investment of $19.0 million. This investment was subsequently sold in 2017, resulting in a gain on sale of cost-accounted investment of $1.3 million. During 2017, we recognized an additional tax indemnification guarantee liability of $50.0 million related to capital leases of Teekay LNG’s investment in Teekay Nakilat Corporation.

(d)

Our results for 2018 include a gain on the sale of Teekay Parent’s 43.5% stake in Magnora ASA in November 2018, a gain on the sale of a 2% ownership interest in Teekay Offshore’s general partner to Brookfield in July 2018, a loss on the sale of Teekay Parent’s investment in KT Maritime (Pty) Ltd. and a gain on the sale of Teekay LNG’s 50% ownership interest in one of its joint ventures with Exmar NV.

(e)

Adjustments relating to equity income, which is a non-GAAP measure, should not be considered as an alternative to equity income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments relating to equity income exclude some, but not all, items that affect equity income and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, adjustments relating to equity income as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. When using Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of liquidity, it should be noted that this measure includes the Adjusted EBITDA from our equity-accounted for investments. Consequently, the cash flow generated by our equity-accounted for investments may not be available for use by us in the period generated. We do not have control over the operations, nor do we have any legal claim to the revenue and expenses of our equity-accounted for investments. Equity income from equity-accounted investments is adjusted for depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net of interest income, income tax expense (recovery), amortization of in-process revenue contracts, foreign currency exchange loss (gain), realized and unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments and certain other items. Adjustments relating to equity income from our equity-accounted investments are as follows:

The following table reconciles for (a) Teekay on a consolidated basis and (b) Teekay Parent, both individually and with respect to each other, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), each on an historical and as further adjusted basis giving effect to the Adjustments. Teekay Parent’s numbers, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, are reconciled to Teekay’s consolidated numbers for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The combined historical results of operations and other data of the Daughter Entities (Teekay LNG, Teekay Tankers and Teekay Offshore) as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 have been prepared in the manner described above in this “—Summary financial and operating data.” The combined historical results of operations and other data of the Daughter Entities include Teekay Offshore on a consolidated basis for periods prior to September 25,

2017 and using the equity method for periods on or after September 25, 2017. Consequently, EBITDA of Teekay Parent for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 does not include equity income, our proportionate share of the EBITDA of the Daughter Entities nor any distributions received from the Daughter Entities for such periods. However, Adjusted EBITDA for Teekay Parent for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 includes $16.8 million and $30.6 million, respectively, of distributions received from the Daughter Entities for such periods.

As of March 31, 2019, and after giving effect to the Transactions, Teekay Parent would have had $78.6 million of undrawn revolving credit facilities.

(11)

As at December 31, 2017, Teekay Parent did not have $160.0 million of cash to partially fund the Tender Offer assuming full participation in the Tender Offer. Consequently, cash and cash equivalents, undrawn revolving credit facilities, and total debt of both Teekay Parent and Teekay Consolidated, all as further adjusted at December 31, 2017, instead reflect the use of $70 million of cash to fund the Tender Offer and the borrowing of approximately $154.2 million under the Margin Loan Agreement.

Recent developments

Teekay Parent

In April 2019, Teekay Parent agreed to charter the Magellan Spirit LNG carrier from Teekay LNG for three years and a third party agreed to charter the vessel from Teekay Parent for three years on a back-to-back basis.

In connection with the Offering and the Tender Offer, Teekay’s Board of Directors has approved the elimination of the quarterly dividend on Teekay’s common stock, commencing with the dividend payable for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, in order to retain cash to further strengthen its balance sheet.

The Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit has been operating on the Banff field in the North Sea since its delivery nearly 20 years ago under a charter contract with Canadian Natural Resources (“CNR”) that permitted CNR to terminate the contract at any time with six months’ notice. In January 2017, Teekay Parent entered into a contract amendment with CNR to ensure the unit would stay on the current field at least until the third quarter of 2018 and to revise the charter rate structure to include a variable component (through an oil price and oil production tariff) in addition to a fixed charter rate. In July 2018, Teekay Parent secured a one-year contract extension with CNR to extend the employment of the Petrojarl Banff FPSO to August 2019. Teekay Parent is in discussions regarding and expects to enter into an agreement with CNR to extend the employment of the Petrojarl Banff FPSO unit on the Banff field for a period of one year to the end of August 2020 on substantially similar terms to the current contract, including a variable component linked to oil price and production tariffs.

Teekay LNG

Teekay LNG has a fleet of 79 vessels, including four newbuildings on order, and an interest in a regasification project in Bahrain. These four newbuildings and the regasification project are scheduled to commence operations under their respective long-term contracts in 2019. As of April 1, 2019, Teekay LNG had ownership interests ranging from 20% to 100% in 49 liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, including four newbuilding LNG carriers on order. In addition, Teekay LNG has 99% ownership interests in seven multi-gas carriers and 50% ownership interests, through its joint venture agreement with Exmar NV, in 22 mid-size liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carriers. Teekay LNG’s large and diverse portfolio of long-term contracts represented $10.1 billion of contracted, forward fixed-rate revenues with a revenue-weighted average remaining contract duration of approximately 11.5 years as of January 1, 2019 (excluding options to extend). Teekay’s LNG and LPG segments generated total consolidated revenues of $454.5 million and $23.9 million, respectively, in 2018 (which excludes revenue generated by vessels that are owned in equity-accounted joint ventures).

In September 2018, the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture agreed to charter its LNG carrier, the Magellan Spirit, to Teekay LNG for two years at a fixed rate. The Magellan Spirit was subsequently chartered-out by Teekay LNG to third parties at charter rates that are significantly higher than the charter-in rate payable by Teekay LNG. On March 21, 2019, the Magellan Spirit completed its most recent charter contract with a third party and was redelivered to Teekay LNG, upon which the vessel proceeded to its scheduled drydock which is expected to be completed in May 2019. In April 2019, Teekay Parent agreed to temporarily charter-in the vessel from Teekay LNG for a period of three years in order to facilitate the charter-out of the vessel to a third-party customer on back-to-back terms. The in-charter by Teekay Parent is expected to be in place temporarily until it is novated to Teekay LNG, upon which Teekay LNG will continue to charter the vessel to the third-party customer for the duration of the three-year charter. In connection with this arrangement, the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture also extended its existing charter-out contract to Teekay LNG for three years to cover the entire charter period with the third-party customer.

Teekay Tankers

As of April 1, 2019, Teekay Tankers’ fleet included 62 owned and chartered-in tankers (excluding six ship-to-ship transfer support vessels). Teekay Tankers also owns a ship-to-ship transfer business that primarily provides lightering and reverse lightering services for crude oil imports into, and exports out of, the United States. As of April 1, 2019, Teekay Tankers’ fleet had a total cargo carrying capacity of approximately 8.5 million deadweight tonnes (or dwt).

In April 2019, Teekay Tankers received notice from the NYSE that Teekay Tankers is not in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards because the average closing price of Teekay Tankers’ shares of Class A common stock fell below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. In accordance with NYSE procedures, Teekay Tankers intends to cure the $1.00 per share deficiency and has six months following receipt of the noncompliance notice to regain compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirement.

Teekay Offshore

As of April 1, 2019, Teekay Offshore had interests in eight FPSO units, 35 shuttle tankers (including six newbuilding shuttle tankers on order), six FSO units, one UMS and 10 long-distance towing and offshore installation vessels. Teekay Offshore’s ownership interests in these vessels range from 50% to 100%. Teekay Offshore’s large and diverse portfolio of long-term contracts represented $5.7 billion of contracted, forward fixed-rate revenues with a revenue-weighted average remaining contract duration of approximately four years as of January 1, 2019 (excluding options to extend).

In July 2018, Teekay Offshore entered into a contract with Petrobras to extend the employment of the Rio das Ostras FPSO unit for four months until November 2018, with an option to extend to January 2019. In December 2018, Teekay Offshore entered into a further contract extension for two months until March 2019. The FPSO unit has now come off contract and is currently in lay-up.

In the last two years, Teekay Offshore and Teekay LNG completed a significant portion of their growth projects and delivered $2.5 billion of gas newbuilding projects and $1.8 billion of offshore newbuilding/conversion projects, which are now contributing significant cash flows.

Industry overview

The following industry overview highlights recent trends and data relating to the principal markets in which we operate.

Liquefied gas shipping

According to Clarkson Research Services Limited (“Clarksons Research”), in 2018, global LNG exports increased by approximately 27 million metric tonnes per annum (or MTPA), or 9%, compared to 2017, which was the second consecutive year that global LNG exports increased by approximately 20 million MTPA or more. Global LNG export growth was particularly strong in the fourth quarter of 2018, driven by the ramp-up in new volumes from Russia, Australia and the United States. On the demand side, China continues to be the main driver, with imports growing by almost 40% in 2018, which represented over 50% of the total net increase in global LNG imports for 2018. According to Clarksons Research, in the fourth quarter of 2018, LNG carrier spot charter rates reached record highs for a 160,000 cubic meter (or cbm) diesel-electric LNG carrier with rates averaging approximately $149,000 per day, which was $80,000 per day higher than rates experienced in the same period of the prior year. This strength can be attributed to winter market seasonality, LNG export growth, tight LNG carrier supply and LNG carriers being used for floating storage (with a reported high of approximately 30 LNG carriers in floating storage in November 2018). According to Clarksons Research, LNG carrier spot charter rates reached a peak of $190,000 per day during the fourth quarter of 2018, which are the highest rates on record.

While LNG carrier spot charter rates have softened significantly in recent months as we have entered the shoulder season to approximately $50,000 per day as of March 22, 2019, according to Clarksons Research, we expect utilization and short-term charter rates to increase from current levels in the remainder of 2019 and into 2020 as a result of two years of expected strong LNG export growth in the U.S., Australia and Russia. According to Clarksons Research, during 2019 and 2020, LNG shipping tonne-mile demand is expected to grow by approximately 11% annually on average while the global LNG carrier fleet is expected to grow by approximately 6% annually on average.

In 2021 and into 2023, we expect that utilization and short-term LNG carrier charter rates may come under downward pressure as a result of the 77 LNG carrier newbuilding orders placed during 2018 and the early part of 2019, which are scheduled to deliver in 2021 and 2022 during what we expect will be a period of slower LNG export growth. We expect this weakness to be temporary as the next wave of LNG export projects is expected to commence operations starting in 2023. According to Wood Mackenzie, 2019 may be a record year for final investment decisions (“FIDs”) by developers of LNG export growth projects that are expected to commence operations in 2023 and 2024, with an estimated growth capacity of 60 million MTPA, almost triple the capacity of such projects subject to FIDs during 2018.

We believe that in the longer-term, the LNG industry will experience strong growth through 2040. According to BP plc’s 2019 Energy Outlook, LNG export growth is expected to more than double by 2040, mostly driven by North America, the Middle East, Africa and Russia, while Asia will remain the dominant driver of import growth. We believe this expected strong demand growth for LNG will lead to an increase in LNG trade and create significant demand for LNG shipping.

The LPG market continues to show signs of rebalancing and recovery, supported by low fleet growth and ongoing LPG trade growth. According to Clarksons Research, declining newbuild deliveries and record levels of scrapping resulted in low fleet growth of approximately 1.5% in 2018. In comparison, total LPG trade growth during 2018 increased by approximately 6% due to higher Middle East exports and strong demand in Europe.

This trend is expected to continue in 2019 and 2020 with forecasted LPG trade growth of around 6% per year according to Clarksons Research, driven by the start-up of new U.S. export capacity, which is expected to exceed low estimated fleet supply growth of between 2% and 3% per year. Accordingly, we expect fleet utilization and charter rates to gradually improve over the next two years across the LPG and petrochemical shipping markets.

Crude oil tankers

Crude tanker spot rates were at multi-year lows during the first half of 2018, as a result of the effect of OPEC supply cuts on tanker demand. However, the market appeared to reach an inflection point in the middle of 2018, as an increase in oil supply from both OPEC and non-OPEC sources, and a period of low fleet growth, allowed rates to recover.

Crude tanker spot rates improved significantly during the fourth quarter of 2018, spurred by both winter market seasonality and positive underlying supply and demand fundamentals. According to the International Energy Agency (“IEA”), during the fourth quarter of 2018, OPEC crude oil production rose to 33.0 million barrels per day (“mb/d”), the highest level since July 2017 and up from 32.0 mb/d earlier in 2018. Russian oil production reached a record high of 11.5 mb/d by the end of 2018, which was positive for mid-size tanker demand in the Mediterranean / Black Sea and Baltic Sea regions. Rising U.S. crude oil exports also supported crude tanker demand, with U.S. crude oil production reaching a record high 11.7 mb/d during the fourth quarter and crude oil exports reaching 2.5 mb/d according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”). This was positive for both crude tanker demand, as well as lightering demand in the U.S. Gulf.

Crude tanker spot rates have weakened significantly through the first quarter of 2019, which is typical for this time of year as refineries enter into seasonal maintenance programs. OPEC supply cuts are also reducing crude tanker demand, as OPEC (and select non-OPEC partners) follow through on their pledge to cut production by 1.2 mb/d starting from January 2019. Early data suggests that OPEC is achieving a high compliance with these cuts. We expect the OPEC cuts to have a negative impact on crude tanker demand through the first half of 2019, although the oil market is reasonably well balanced and we believe OPEC will supply more oil to the market during the second half of 2019 when oil demand is expected to increase substantially compared with first half levels.

According to Clarksons Research, the global tanker fleet grew by just 6.2 million deadweight tonnes (or mdwt), or 1.1%, in 2018, which was the lowest level of tanker fleet growth since 2001. High tanker scrapping primarily contributed to low fleet growth during 2018, with a total of 20.8 mdwt removed, representing the fifth highest scrapping year on record. Looking ahead, we expect an increase in tanker fleet growth during 2019 as a firmer freight rate environment should lead to fewer vessels sold for scrap. We forecast total tanker fleet growth of approximately 3.8% during 2019, with much of this growth weighted towards the first half of the year. This would add downward pressure on the crude tanker market during the early part of 2019, although we forecast much lower total tanker fleet growth of less than 2% in the second half of 2019 and into 2020.

Global oil demand remains firm, with the IEA forecasting growth of 1.4 mb/d in 2019. In addition, we expect that tanker demand will be boosted in 2019 by an increase in global refining capacity. According to the IEA, a total of 2.6 mb/d of new refining capacity will come online in 2019, which is the largest annual increase on record. We expect this will contribute positively to both crude and product tanker demand. We also expect that the new IMO 2020 maritime Sulphur emissions regulations will be positive for tanker demand through an expected increase in refinery throughput. The new regulations could also open new trade patterns and arbitrage opportunities for both crude and product, which are expected to increase overall tonne-mile demand. Finally, we believe that an expected increase in U.S. crude exports during the second half of 2019 will be beneficial for both crude tanker demand and U.S. Gulf lightering demand. According to the IEA, new pipeline capacity to the Gulf Coast is expected to lift U.S. crude exports from approximately 2.5 mb/d to approximately 4 mb/d by the end of 2019.

In sum, we believe that OPEC supply cuts, higher fleet growth, and the impact of seasonal refinery maintenance could weigh on tanker demand through the first half of 2019. However, we believe that the second half of 2019 and 2020 will be stronger due to underlying oil demand, an increase in U.S. crude oil exports, the return of OPEC crude oil supply, lower tanker fleet growth, and the positive impact of IMO 2020.

Offshore oil industry

Brent oil prices reached $86 per barrel in late 2018, the highest level since 2014, supported by OPEC cuts, production disruptions and potential sanctions. For 2018, Brent oil prices averaged $72 per barrel, a 31% increase over 2017. This increase in oil prices, coupled with a series of cost-cutting measures implemented over the past several years, has led to a significant increase in free cash flow for major oil companies and is leading to a renewed increase in offshore exploration and production activity. For 2019, Brent oil prices have averaged approximately $65 per barrel through April 23, 2019 and closed at $74 per barrel as of April 23, 2019.

After a low-point in 2016, approved offshore project capital expenditures (“CAPEX”) have been gradually recovering. Although the estimated CAPEX of newly approved projects was lower than expected in 2018, largely due to slippage of FIDs due to oil price volatility, tendering issues in Brazil, and political risk, we expect a return to a growth trend in 2019. According to Clarksons Research, approximately $20 billion of offshore field project CAPEX was approved in January 2019, and with further significant FIDs expected in 2019, Clarksons Research expects $89 billion of new offshore project CAPEX to be approved in 2019, which is approaching investment levels last achieved in 2014.

The improvement in oil prices since 2016 and offshore project break-even points is leading to a recovery in FPSO contract awards. After a year of no FPSO awards in 2016, a total of eight FPSO contracts were awarded in 2017 and six in 2018. This renewed level of contracting is expected to be maintained over the next few years. According to Clarksons Research, in the 2019 and 2020 period, there are 26 projects that could potentially result in an FPSO award, with 14 of these projects being considered as “probable” to reach an award in 2019 (although FID slippage and oil price volatility remain a significant risk). Projects in South America and West Africa are expected to be the main drivers of FPSO contracting. As of March 2019, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) had ongoing tenders for five FPSOs for projects in offshore Brazil, with all five currently scheduled to be awarded within 2019.

Demand for shuttle tankers is expected to improve in tandem with a strengthening offshore market and increased exploration and production spending by the oil majors. The North Sea market is relatively mature, with oil production from fields which use shuttle tankers as an export solution expected to remain relatively flat in the coming years. However, a push into the Barents Sea, which involves longer sailing distances, may add to shuttle tanker tonne-mile demand. In addition, significant replacement demand is expected in the North Sea as new vessels will be needed to replace vessels turning 20 years of age, which is the typical end-of-life age for shuttle tankers. Of the 31 vessels currently trading in the North Sea, 15 will reach age 20 over the next five years.

Offshore fields in the North Sea and Brazil generate the majority of global demand for shuttle tankers. According to Clarksons Research, 86 offshore fields that generate demand for shuttle tankers are currently in production, with 69 of these fields located in the North Sea or Brazil and the remaining 17 fields located in eastern Canada, the European Arctic, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the northwestern European Atlantic. Future new demand for shuttle tankers is also expected to be concentrated in the North Sea and Brazil. Six fields generating demand for shuttle tankers are currently in development in the North Sea and Brazil, with another 16 potential field developments expected to be sanctioned by the end of 2020.

Brazil is expected to be a major driver of shuttle tanker demand in coming years. According to Clarksons Research, there are currently 19 probable shuttle tanker orders linked to specific offshore projects expected to receive an FID within the next two years, with almost 70% of these projects located in Latin America. In the longer term, the continuing trend towards deep water projects further from shore, and the improved political situation in Brazil, also appear favorable for the shuttle tanker sector. According to Clarksons Research, total global offshore oil production averaged approximately 25.2 million barrels per day in the ten-year period between 2009 and 2018. In total, Clarksons Research projects that global offshore oil production may increase by more than 3.5 mb/d in the ten-year period between 2018 and 2028, reaching approximately 28.9 million barrels per day in 2028.

There can be no guarantee that any of the forecasted amounts provided above will materialize or that the actual amounts will not be materially different.

Risk Factors

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the Notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy the obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Given volatility associated with our business and industry, our future cash flow may be insufficient to meet our debt obligations and other commitments. Any insufficiency could negatively impact our business. A range of economic, competitive, business and industry factors, including those beyond our control, will affect our future financial performance, and, as a result, our ability to generate cash flow from operations and to pay our debt obligations. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations and other commitments, we may be forced to reduce or delay planned investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes. Our ability to restructure or refinance our indebtedness will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time.

 

17


Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt agreements and the indenture that will govern the Notes may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In addition, any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. In the absence of sufficient cash flows and capital resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and may be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. The indenture that will govern the Notes offered in the Offering will restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from the disposition. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds that we could have realized from them and any proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our debt service obligations.

We intend to sell our three FPSO units in the future, which units represent one of Teekay Parent’s limited sources of cash flow.

Teekay Parent’s primary sources of cash flow include cash flow from the operation of its three FPSO units and its receipt of cash distributions made by the Daughter Entities. The three FPSO units generated a majority of Teekay Parent’s cash flow during 2018. We intend to sell the three FPSO units in the future. If we sell the units, Teekay Parent will no longer receive cash flow generated by the units and will depend almost entirely on cash flow from distributions made by the Daughter Entities. Currently, Teekay LNG is the only Daughter Entity paying cash distributions.

Our leverage and debt service obligations may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business prospects and our ability to make payments on the Notes.

We have substantial debt and debt service requirements. Assuming we completed the Offering on December 31, 2018, after giving effect to the Adjustments, our consolidated debt and obligations related to capital leases would have totaled approximately $4.8 billion, of which approximately $4.4 billion would have been obligations of our subsidiaries (all but $576.3 million of which is secured by assets of our subsidiaries), and we would have had the capacity to borrow an additional $236.3 million under our credit facilities. In addition to our consolidated debt, as of December 31, 2018, our total proportionate interest in debt of joint ventures we do not control (excluding Teekay Offshore) was $1.8 billion, of which Teekay Tankers or Teekay LNG has guaranteed $0.9 billion and the remaining $0.9 billion has limited recourse to Teekay LNG. As of December 31, 2018, and after giving effect to the Adjustments, Teekay Corporation and its restricted subsidiaries would have had approximately $641.0 million of total outstanding indebtedness (including $166.4 million of indebtedness of Teekay Tankers guaranteed by Teekay Corporation). As of December 31, 2018, and after giving effect to the Adjustments, the non-guarantor restricted subsidiaries would have had approximately $64.2 million of total outstanding indebtedness (including indebtedness under the Margin Loan Agreement), with additional borrowing capacity under the Margin Loan Agreement of $48.9 million ($78.6 million as of March 31, 2019), all of which would be structurally senior to the Notes and effectively senior to the Notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Our debt, obligations related to capital leases and joint venture debt could increase substantially. Subject to certain limitations, the terms of the indenture under which the Notes will be issued and our credit facilities permit us to incur additional debt. Our level of indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, including the following:

 

   

requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our debt, thereby reducing the cash available to finance our operating and investing activities;

 

   

limiting management’s discretion in operating our business and our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

 

   

increasing our vulnerability to downturns and adverse developments in our business, commodity prices and industry;

 

   

limiting our ability to raise capital and other available financing on favorable terms, or at all;

 

   

limiting our ability to make investments, lease equipment, sell assets and engage in business combinations;

 

   

making us vulnerable to increases in interest rates;

 

   

reducing funds available for our operations and other purposes, as a larger portion of our cash flow from operations would be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, including the Notes;

 

   

if our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund debt service obligations, forcing us to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness;

 

   

putting us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors; and

 

   

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under the Notes and other debt and increase the risk that we may default on our debt obligations.

 

18


Teekay Parent’s cash flow and its ability to continue to benefit from the operations and relationships of the Daughter Entities may be reduced or eliminated if it were to sell or dispose of interests in any Daughter Entities.

There are no restrictions on our ability to sell or dispose of our interests in any of the Daughter Entities other than restrictions under the Margin Loan Agreement, the indenture under which the Notes will be issued and contractual restrictions under the limited liability company agreement of Teekay Offshore’s general partner on our ability to sell or dispose of Teekay Offshore common units prior to September 2019 or to transfer our general partner interest in Teekay Offshore. If we were to sell or dispose of any or all of our interests in any Daughter Entity, our participation in existing or potential future distributions or dividends would be reduced and our ability to continue to benefit from the operations, business and relationships of such Daughter Entity may be reduced or eliminated.

Vessel drydockings and downtime for repairs and maintenance of vessels and offshore oil platforms can require significant expenditures and reduce our revenues.

We must periodically dry dock each of our vessels for inspection, repairs and maintenance and any modifications to comply with industry certification or governmental requirements. Generally, we dry dock each of our vessels every two and a half to five years, depending upon the type of vessel and its age. In addition, a shipping society classification intermediate survey is performed on our LNG carriers between the second and third year of the five-year dry-docking cycle. We also conduct annual class surveys for our FPSO units. In addition to scheduled off-hire relating to these activities, our vessels may experience additional off-hire for unscheduled repairs. The number of dry dockings undertaken in a given period and the nature of the work performed determine the level of dry-docking expenditures and the amount of any vessel off-hire. We generally do not earn revenue when our vessels are in scheduled and unscheduled dry docking. The Foinaven FPSO unit is scheduled for a shutdown in 2019 for significant upgrades and maintenance relating to reaching the end of its initial design life.

Historically, the utilization of FPSO units in the North Sea is higher in the winter months, as favorable weather conditions in the warmer months provide opportunities for repairs and maintenance to vessels and to offshore oil platforms. Downtime for repairs and maintenance generally reduces oil production and, thus, revenue under production-based components of FPSO contracts, such as those applicable to our three FPSO units.

This Report on Form 6-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Over time, the value of our vessels may decline, which could adversely affect our operating results.

Vessel values for oil and product tankers, LNG and LPG carriers, and FPSO units can fluctuate substantially over time due to a number of different factors, including:

 

   

prevailing economic conditions in oil and energy markets;

 

   

a substantial or extended decline in demand for oil or natural gas;

 

   

increases in the supply of vessel capacity;

 

   

competition from more technologically advanced vessels;

 

   

the cost of retrofitting or modifying existing vessels, as a result of technological advances in vessel design or equipment, changes in applicable environmental or other regulations or standards, or otherwise; and

 

   

a decrease in oil reserves in the fields and other fields in which our FPSO units or other vessels might otherwise be deployed.

Vessel values may decline from existing levels. If operation of a vessel is not profitable, or if we cannot redeploy a chartered vessel at attractive rates upon charter termination, rather than continue to incur costs to maintain and finance the vessel, we may seek to dispose of it. Our inability to dispose of the vessel at a fair market value or the disposal of the vessel at a fair market value that is lower than its book value could result in a loss on its sale and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Teekay Parent anticipates selling its three FPSO units in the future. These FPSO units had an aggregate carrying value of $279.4 million (including an in-process revenue liability of $24.6 million and not including a net asset retirement obligation of $20.3 million) and estimated market values lower than carrying values at December 31, 2018. There is no liquid second-hand market for FPSO units and their market values are largely based on the terms of their existing charter contracts, among other factors. An FPSO unit’s market value is based on its ability to be employed on charter contracts and uncertainties exist about extensions of existing charter contracts and redeployments onto new charter contracts in the future. Such uncertainties include the duration of charter contract extensions and redeployment contracts, the charter rate of contract extensions and redeployment contracts, the amount of idle time between charter contracts, future oil prices, oil production volumes and the amount of any capital investment required to enable the FPSO unit to operate on new fields. Such uncertainties can result in a wide range of potential estimates of future cash flows and, thus, the market value. However, if the FPSO units are sold based on the charter contracts that existed as at December 31, 2018, we estimate that this could result in a material accounting loss on sale.

Further, if we determine at any time that a vessel’s future useful life and earnings require us to impair its value on our financial statements, we may need to recognize a significant impairment charge against our earnings. Such a determination involves numerous assumptions and estimates, some of which require more discretion and are less predictable, including certain estimates for our FPSO units. We recognized asset impairment charges, excluding impairment charges recognized by Teekay Offshore subsequent to its deconsolidation on September 25, 2017, of $53.7 million, $270.7 million and $112.2 million in 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The 2017 charge included impairments recognized of $205.7 million for two of our three FPSO units, the Petrojarl Banff and Petrojarl Foinaven.

SECTION 7. Margin Loan Agreement Governs. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of any Lender or Administrative Agent under the Margin Loan Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Margin Loan Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle Borrower to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Margin Loan Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.

SECTION 8. Qualified Financial Contract. The parties agree that the terms of Section 1 and Section 2 and the related defined terms (together, the “Bilateral Terms”) of the form of bilateral template entitled “Full-Length Omnibus (for use between U.S. G-SIBs and Corporate Groups)” published by ISDA on November 2, 2018 (currently available on the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol page at

 

5


www.isda.org and a copy of which is available upon request), the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between the parties thereto to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules, are hereby incorporated into and form a part of this Amendment, the Margin Loan Agreement and each other Margin Loan Document, and for such purposes this Amendment, the Margin Loan Agreement and each other Margin Loan Document shall each be deemed a “Covered Agreement,” each party that is a Regulated Entity shall be deemed a “Covered Entity” and each party (whether or not it is a Regulated Entity) shall be deemed a “Counterparty Entity” with respect to each other party that is a Regulated Entity. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Amendment, the Margin Loan Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document and the Bilateral Terms, the Bilateral Terms will govern. Terms used in this paragraph without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them under the QFC Stay Rules.

QFC Stay Rules” means the regulations codified at 12 C.F.R. § 252.2, §§ 252.81–8, 12 C.F.R. §§ 382.1-7 and 12 C.F.R. §§ 47.1-8, which, subject to limited exceptions, require an express recognition of the stay-and-transfer powers of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the Orderly Liquidation Authority under Title II of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the override of default rights related directly or indirectly to the entry of an affiliate into certain insolvency proceedings and any restrictions on the transfer of any covered affiliate credit enhancements.

Regulated Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

SECTION 9. Acknowledgement Regarding the 2018 Additional Shares. Collateral Agent, as Secured Party under the Security Agreement acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) as of the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date, the 2018 Additional Shares are subject to the Existing Transfer Restrictions; and

(b) any sale of the 2018 Additional Shares by or through Secured Party (as defined in the Security Agreement) or its Affiliates will only be made in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or in a transaction that Secured Party reasonably believes to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (it being understood and agreed that Secured Party or such Affiliate may in good faith rely on representations of Borrower and/or any purchaser in determining that an exemption is available).

SECTION 10. Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall constitute a Margin Loan Document for all purposes of the Margin Loan Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documents. The provisions of this Amendment are deemed incorporated into the Margin Loan Agreement as if fully set forth therein. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars to Borrower (each such loan, an “Advance”) from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) the total outstanding principal amount of Advances made by such Lender exceeding the Commitment for such Lender or (ii) the total outstanding principal amount of Advances made by all Lenders exceeding the Commitments for all Lenders.

Section 2.02. Advances and Borrowings.

(a) Each Advance shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Advances made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their then Applicable Percentages. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.

(b) Each Borrowing shall be in an amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(ii) Each such notice of a request for a Borrowing (a “Borrowing Notice”) shall be in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit A, specifying therein: (x) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (y) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (z) the Funding Account.

(b) Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower.

Section 2.04. Funding Of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Advance to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds promptly and not later than 3:00 p.m. to the account of Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the first Borrowing, Section 4.01), Administrative Agent will make all funds so received available to Borrower by crediting the amounts so received, in like funds as received by Administrative Agent, to the Funding Account.

(b) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender did not make available such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, then such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is received by Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time as in effect plus Administrative Agent’s standard processing fee for interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in the applicable Borrowing.

(ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by Calculation Agent or receipt by Calculation Agent of such notice, as applicable, Calculation Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after Calculation Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Calculation Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), Calculation Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

(c) (i) Borrower may in its discretion (A) pledge additional Shares by depositing them into the Collateral Account or (B) request the release of any TGP Shares, TNK Shares or TOO Shares constituting Collateral, and Collateral Agent shall grant such request if in connection with such request Borrower pledges additional TGP Shares or TNK Shares (in the case of a requested release of TOO Shares), additional TGP Shares or TOO Shares (in the case of a requested release of TNK Shares) or additional TNK Shares or TOO Shares (in the case of a requested release of TGP Shares) by depositing such additional Shares into the Collateral Account in an amount such that immediately after giving effect to such requested release and the related pledge of additional Shares, the LTV Ratio shall not be increased (a “substitution”); provided that immediately following any such additional pledge or substitution, the Basket Ratio Requirement shall be satisfied and (ii) any Shares that Borrower pledged pursuant to clause (i) above to cure an Event of Default of the type described in Section 7.01(o) during the applicable Collateral Shortfall Grace Period shall be automatically released to Borrower; provided that (x) immediately following such release, the Basket Ratio Requirement shall be satisfied, (y) prior to and immediately after giving effect to such release, no Collateral Shortfall, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur and (z) no Share Collateral Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing.

(c) [With effect as of the Amendment No. 8 Effective Date, reserved].

(d) Borrower shall be entitled to the release, upon written notice thereof delivered to Collateral Agent on or before 2:00 p.m. two (2) Exchange Business Days prior to the requested date of the release, of any Collateral Shares as long as the Collateral Shares are being released for the purpose of settling sales of such Collateral Shares for Cash on an arm’s length basis (any such sale, provided that it meets the requirements in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) below, a “Permitted Sale Transaction”), as long as:

(i) the scheduled settlement date for each such sale is no later than the fifth Business Day following execution of such sale,

 

33


(ii) all of the Cash proceeds of such sale (net of any customary brokerage or underwriting fee) will be paid to the Collateral Account, on a delivery versus payment basis against the delivery of the relevant Collateral Shares from the Collateral Account or pursuant to escrow arrangements reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent,

(iii) Borrower shall not have any obligation under any agreement relating to such Permitted Sale Transaction other than the obligation to deliver Shares substantially contemporaneously with the payment of the proceeds from the sale thereof to the Collateral Account (or pursuant to escrow arrangements reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent) and as are customary for underwriting agreements or other documentation thereunder relating to such Permitted Sale Transaction, and

(iv) prior to and immediately after giving effect to such release, no Default (other than in respect of an event that would be an Event of Default under Section 7.01(o)), Event of Default or Share Collateral Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing or would result from such release.

If, for any reason, the proceeds from a proposed Permitted Sale Transaction are not delivered pursuant to the contemplated escrow or other arrangements, Borrower shall cause such proceeds to be delivered to the Collateral Account on the settlement date for the proposed Permitted Sale Transaction.

If so requested by Borrower to facilitate a sale of Collateral Shares pursuant to this subsection (d) of Section 2.10, Lenders shall cause Collateral Agent to enter into any escrow or other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent with the broker or dealer through whom such Collateral Shares are being sold.

(e) (d) Any Ordinary Cash Dividend shall be automatically released to Borrower on the Business Day immediately following the day such Ordinary Cash Dividend is credited to the Collateral Account; provided that (i) prior to and immediately after giving effect to such release, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur and (ii) if a Share Collateral Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing at the time such Ordinary Cash Dividend is credited to the Collateral Account, such Ordinary Cash Dividend shall be automatically released to Borrower on the fourth Business Day immediately following the day such Ordinary Cash Dividend is credited to the Collateral Account.

(ef ) Interest shall accrue to the account of Borrower on any Cash held in the Collateral Account at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and shall be credited to the Collateral Account by Administrative Agent on each Business Day.

Section 2.11. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Lender Person to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) or (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Administrative Agent of making or maintaining the Advances hereunder (or of maintaining its Commitment) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay such Lender or Administrative Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such

 

35


Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender Person requests compensation under this Section 2.11 or Borrower must pay increased amounts or any amounts for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 2.12, then the applicable Lender will, if requested by Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Advance, or portion thereof, affected by the relevant event if such designation would avoid the requirement for or reduce the amount of such compensation, increased amounts or amounts for Indemnified Taxes; provided that such efforts need only be made on terms that, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided further that nothing in this Section 2.11(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of Borrower or the rights of such Lender Person pursuant to Section 2.11(a) through (d) or Section 2.12. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation.

(f) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.11 or that Borrower pay increased amounts or any amount for Indemnified Taxes under Section 2.12, Borrower may, upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.10(a), terminate the Commitment of such Lender upon the prepayment in full of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Total Accrued Loan Amount (including the Make Whole Amount, which for purposes of this Section 2.11(f) shall be calculated with regard to such Lender’s Commitment only) to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2.14 shall apply to any such prepayment. Upon receipt of such prepayment, the Commitment of such Lender shall be irrevocably terminated and such Lender shall be deemed to no longer be a party to this Agreement or any Margin Loan Document, but for the avoidance of doubt provisions of any Margin Loan Document that by their express terms survive the termination of the Facility shall continue to apply with respect to such Lender.

(g) All of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive termination of the Facility and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Section 2.12. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor under any Margin Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable lawLaw. If any applicable lawLaw (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable lawLaw and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the applicable Lender Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

36


(b) The applicable Obligor shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable lawLaw, or at the option of Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, Other Taxes.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, such Obligor shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(d) The Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender Person, within 10 days after written demand therefor accompanied by a certificate satisfying the requirements set forth below, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender Person, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender Person, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by such Lender Person (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender Person, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts payable to the applicable Lender Person under this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) (i) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Margin Loan Document it shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of any such documentation other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below requested by Borrower shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

 

37


(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Margin Loan Document, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Margin Loan Document, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

38


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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Margin Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable lawLaw (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

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

(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to

 

39


indemnification and giving rise to such refund had never been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Obligor has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so) and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Margin Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Margin Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g).

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the assignment of rights by, or the replacement of any Lender Person, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Margin Loan Document.

Section 2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify Administrative Agent and Borrower that any Law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to perform its obligations to make or maintain Advances hereunder, the obligation of such Lender to make the Advances shall be terminated and all Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to such Lender shall become due and payable either on the last day of the then current Interest Period, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain the Advances.

Section 2.14. Break-Funding. In the event of the payment of any principal of an Advance other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or the failure to borrow (for a reason other than the failure of Administrative Agent or a Lender to make such Advance), prepay any Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, upon written demand of the applicable Lender, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) attributable to such event to the extent actually incurred by the applicable Lender. A certificate of Calculation Agent setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that each Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive termination of the Facility or repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 

40


Section 2.15. Evidence Of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to Subsections (a) and

(b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d) No promissory note shall be required to evidence the Advances by any Lender to Borrower. Upon the request of any Lender, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by such Lender, which shall evidence the Advances to Borrower by such Lender in addition to such records. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

Section 2.16. Payments And Computations; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day when due in Dollars to, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Administrative Agent in immediately available funds. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. All such payments shall be made to Administrative Agent at its offices as set forth on Schedule 9.02.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees, as the case may be.

(c) All payments (including prepayments and any other amounts received hereunder in connection with the exercise of Administrative Agent’s rights after an Event of Default) made by Borrower to Administrative Agent under any Margin Loan Document shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order: (i) the Structuring Fee, if any; (ii) to any expenses and indemnities payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Margin Loan Document; (iii) to any accrued and unpaid interest and fees due under this Agreement; (iv) to principal payments on the outstanding Advances; and (v) to the extent of any excess, to the payment of all other Obligations under the Margin Loan Documents.

 

41


(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other Obligations under the Margin Loan Documents resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or such other obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments that shall be equitable so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages; provided that (A) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower and Guarantor rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower or Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

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

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.16(e) and 9.04(f), then Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amount thereafter received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.

(a) Borrower has heretofore furnished to Administrative Agent the Borrower Financial Statements, if any, and the Guarantor Financial Statements. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and show all material indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, as of the date thereof, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness.

(b) As of any date, no event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Guarantor, since the date of the last financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(x) or Section 5.01, as applicable, with respect to Guarantor.

 

43


Section 3.05. Litigation Matters. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened in writing against or affecting Borrower (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Borrower or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 3.06. Compliance With Laws And Agreements. Borrower is in compliance with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (i) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (ii) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to any Person. Borrower is in compliance with its reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act, including in respect of the transactions contemplated hereunder. No Default exists and no Event of Default has occurred, other than those that have been waived or deemed not to have occurred pursuant to the last sentence of Section 7.01.

Section 3.07. Investment Company Status.

ARTICLE 8

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 8.01. Administrative Agent.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 

58


The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, Guarantor or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for elsewhere in this agreement), provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, the other Margin Loan Documents or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower, Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Administrative Agent by Borrower or a Lender and Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Margin Loan Documents, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition

 

59


hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

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

Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders (calculated without regard to the Applicable Percentage of the resigning Administrative Agent) shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank with an office in New York, New York, and which may, for the avoidance of doubt, be a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. The successor shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

60


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

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.01. Amendments, Etc.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Margin Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as set forth in Sections 9.01(b), 9.01(c) or 9.01(d) or (y) pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower, Guarantor (as applicable) and the Required Lenders or by Borrower, Guarantor (as applicable) and Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Advance or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Advance or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16(c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under any Margin Loan Document without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Advance or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase the Commitment of

 

61


such Defaulting Lender, reduce the principal amount of any Advance of such Defaulting Lender or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Advance of such Defaulting Lender or any interest thereon, or any fees payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Share Collateral Trigger Event, Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, in consultation with Borrower to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent that such consultation would not cause undue delay, propose to amend one or more of the material terms of any Margin Loan Document other than the Guarantee Agreement (subject to the proviso to Section 9.01(a)) by delivering written notice of such proposed amendments to Borrower and the Lenders. Such amendments will take effect at the applicable Amendment Effective Time; provided that following receipt of such notice, Borrower may (i) prepay in full the Total Accrued Loan Amount to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender prior to the Amendment Effective Time, in which case the proposed amendments will not take effect and (ii) if Borrower makes the payment described in clause (i), Borrower may (but shall not be required to) simultaneously terminate the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05(b) without paying any Make Whole Amount.

(c) If any of the following events (“Potential Facility Amendment Events”) shall occur:

(i) the occurrence of the tenth scheduled Exchange Business Day prior to the scheduled consummation of a Merger Event in relation to an Issuer, unless Calculation Agent determines that such consummation is unlikely to occur;

(ii) the announcement of an event that if consummated or completed would result in a Delisting of the TGP Shares, the TNK Shares or the TOO Shares and such shares not being immediately relisted on a Designated Exchange;

(iii) the payment of an Extraordinary Dividend with respect to the TGP Shares, the TNK Shares or the TOO Shares;, except, with respect to any calendar quarter in 2019, the payment of any Extraordinary Dividend with respect to the TGP Shares with an ex-dividend date occurring during such calendar quarter, the amount or value of which (as determined by Calculation Agent), when aggregated with the amount or value (as determined by Calculation Agent) of any Ordinary Cash Dividend with respect to the TGP Shares with an ex-dividend date occurring in the same calendar quarter, does not exceed $1.05 per share;

(iv) the occurrence of the record date in respect of a distribution, issue or dividend to existing holders of the TGP Shares, the TNK Shares or the TOO Shares of share capital or other securities of another issuer acquired or owned (directly or indirectly) by the relevant Issuer in connection with a spin-off or other similar transaction with a value greater than 35% of the value of the share capital of the relevant Issuer immediately prior to such record date, as determined by Calculation Agent; or

 

62


(v) suspension from trading of the TGP Shares, the TNK Shares or the TOO Shares on the applicable Exchange for three consecutive Exchange Business Days, other than a suspension that affects all common equity securities on such Exchange; or

(vi) the Share Collateral Value attributable to the TGP Shares shall represent less than 50% of the total Share Collateral Value immediately after giving effect to any withdrawal or release of TGP Shares from the Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.10;

then, and in any such event, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, in consultation with Borrower to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent such consultation would not cause undue delay, propose to amend one or more of the material terms of any Margin Loan Document other than the Guarantee Agreement (subject to the proviso to Section 9.01(a)) to account for such Potential Facility Amendment Event by delivering written notice of such proposed amendments to Borrower and the Lenders. Such amendments will take effect at the applicable Amendment Effective Time; provided that following receipt of such notice, Borrower may, prior to the Amendment Effective Time, (x) prepay in full the Total Accrued Loan Amount to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and (y) terminate the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05(b) without paying any Make Whole Amount (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower must take the action described in clause (y) if Borrower takes the action described in clause (x)).

(d) Upon the occurrence of a Redocumentation Event, Borrower may, on or prior to the applicable Amendment Effective Time, (x) prepay in full the Total Accrued Loan Amount to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and (y) terminate the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05(b) without paying any Make Whole Amount (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower must take the action described in clause (y) if Borrower takes the action described in clause (x)). Unless Borrower so elects to prepay the Total Accrued Loan Amount and terminate the Commitments pursuant to the preceding sentence, then after the applicable Amendment Effective Time, Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, split the Facility into a separate facility with each Lender (each a “Separate Facility”) on economic terms identical to those of the Facility (subject to any necessary conforming changes), with aggregate Commitments and outstanding Advances equal to the Commitments and outstanding Advances under the Facility, and which shall be documented in separate agreements on substantially the same terms and conditions as this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documents; provided that all conditions precedent to the making of the Advances on the occasion of the first Borrowing specified in this Agreement shall be deemed to be satisfied upon Borrower’s entry into the Separate Facilities and Borrower shall not be required to deliver any certificates, certifications, opinions or other documents upon its entry into the Separate Facilities other than (i) standard corporate housekeeping opinions (with the cost of such opinions to be paid by the applicable Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, requesting such opinions) and (ii) UCC financing statements in an appropriate form for filing with the Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia and completed Federal Reserve Board Forms U-1 and G-3, to the extent necessary; provided, further that Borrower shall not be required to incur any increased tax, cost or expense (other than its own out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the Separate Facilities other than increased taxes, costs or expenses that Borrower would be required to incur under this

 

63


Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documents. The parties will work together in good faith to agree on documentation for the Separate Facilities that takes into account changes appropriate to reflect the fact that each Separate Facility has a single Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, changes to the definition of Permitted Liens to reflect the fact that Borrower will pledge collateral separately to each Lender). A Lender shall be Administrative Agent under each Separate Facility with a single Commitment and outstanding Advances proportional to the Commitment of such Lender under the Facility, and each Separate Facility will have its own Collateral Agent and will be separately secured by a portion of the Collateral proportional to the Commitment in respect of such Separate Facility. Borrower will not be responsible for any fees, costs or other expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the Separate Facilities, other than fees, costs and other expenses for which Borrower would be responsible under this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documents.

Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient).

(c) Any party hereto may change its address (including email address), facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

 

65


(d) Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and the Lenders from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower, except to the extent such losses, costs, expenses and liabilities arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Administrative Agent or any Lender may be recorded by such Person, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(e) Borrower hereby agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any suit, action or proceeding brought under any Margin Loan Document may be made upon Watson, Farley & Williams (New York) LLP, presently located at 1133 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036 (the “Process Agent”), and Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that the Process Agent has been duly and irrevocably appointed as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to Borrower shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon. Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.08(d).

Section 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies.

(a) No failure or delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Margin Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Margin Loan Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.01, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of an Advance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, regardless of whether Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time.

(b) The Advances are made with full recourse to Borrower and constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated Indebtedness of Borrower.

(c) Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan Documents collectively are intended to constitute a “securities contract” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that each delivery, transfer, payment and grant of a security interest made or required to be made hereunder or contemplated

 

66


hereby or made, required to be made or contemplated in connection herewith is a “transfer” and a “margin payment” or a “settlement payment” within the meaning of Section 362(b)(6) and/or (27) and Sections 546(e) and/or (j) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, all obligations under or in connection with the Margin Loan Documents represent obligations in respect of “termination values,” “payment amounts” or “other transfer obligations” within the meaning of Sections 362 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan Documents collectively constitute a “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

Whenever Calculation Agent is required to act or to exercise judgment in any way, it shall do so in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and, when reasonably practicable, in consultation with Borrower and to the extent that such consultation would not cause undue delay.

Section 9.09. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Document without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and each Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to a single assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

 

70


(A) Borrower; provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or, if a payment or bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person (other than a natural person); and

(B) Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender.

(ii) Assignments by a Lender shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) in no event shall there be more than two Lenders;

(B) the amount of the Commitment or Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, and the amount of the Commitment or Advances of the assigning Lender remaining after each such assignment (in each case determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent), in each case shall not be less than the lesser of (1) $10,000,000 and (2) the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Advances, as applicable, unless each of Borrower and Administrative Agent otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(C) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and

(D) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14 and 9.15). Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a promissory note in the form described in Section 2.15(d) to the assignee Lender, and the promissory note, if any, theretofore held by the assignor Lender shall be returned to Borrower in exchange for a new promissory note, payable to the assignee Lender and reflecting its retained interest (if any) hereunder. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.09 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

 

71


(iv) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

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

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than Borrower of any of its Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Document (including all or a portion of the Advances); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under the Margin Loan Document shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Subject to Subsection (d) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.12(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.12(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.16 as though it were a Lender. Any Lender that sells a participation to a Participant, shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of such register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Advances or its other obligations under any Margin Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment or Advance or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version).

 

72


(d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 and 2.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(e) Any Lender may at any time (i) pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender or (ii) enter into derivative transactions relating to such Lender’s Commitments or Advances, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest or derivative transaction; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest or derivative transaction shall (x) release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee, assignee or derivative transaction counterparty for such Lender as a party hereto or (y) result in the rehypothecation of any Collateral.

Section 9.10. Severability. Any provision of any Margin Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.11. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Margin Loan Document and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent or the Lenders constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article 4, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.12. Survival Of Representations. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower in the Margin Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Margin Loan Documents and the making of any Advances, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended

 

73


hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Advance or any other Obligation under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or unsatisfied. The provisions of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, Section 8.01 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Advances, the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or the termination of this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

Section 9.13. Confidentiality. Subject to Section 6.14, each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent or any Lender (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure, unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Law and except in connection with any request as part of a regulatory examination), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure to the extent permitted by law and except in connection with a regulatory examination or an audit or examination conducted by bank accountants), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower or its Affiliates. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business hereunder or pursuant hereto, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.14. No Advisory Or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Margin Loan Document), Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between

 

74


Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, (ii) Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Margin Loan Document; (b)(i) each of Administrative Agent and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing herein or otherwise by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) each of Administrative Agent and each Lender has no obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Margin Loan Document; and (c) Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and its Affiliates, and each of Administrative Agent and each Lender has no obligations to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 9.15. Right Of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender (each, a “Set-off Party”) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Set-off Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations and liabilities of Borrower, irrespective of whether or not the relevant Set-off Party shall have made any demand under the Margin Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Set-off Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Set-off Party may have.

Section 9.16 . Judgment Currency. If a judgment, order or award is rendered by any court or tribunal for the payment of any amounts owing to Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document or for the payment of damages in respect of a judgment or order of another court or tribunal for the payment of such amount or damages, such judgment, order or award being expressed in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars, Borrower agrees (a) that its obligations in respect of any such amounts owing shall be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following Administrative Agent or such Lender’s receipt, as applicable, of any sum adjudged in the Judgment Currency, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency, and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent or such Lender against any deficiency in terms of Dollars in the amounts actually received by Administrative Agent or such Lender following any such purchase (after deduction of any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, Dollars). The indemnity set forth in the preceding sentence shall (notwithstanding any judgment referred to in the preceding sentence) constitute an obligation of Borrower separate and independent from its other obligations hereunder and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

75

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), as amended (the “Act”), and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Administrative Agent or such Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. Borrower agrees to promptly provide Administrative Agent or such Lender with all of the information requested by such Person to the extent such Person deems such information reasonably necessary to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 24, 2019— Teekay Corporation (Teekay or the Company) (NYSE:TK) announced today that, subject to market conditions, it intends to offer $300 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2024 (the Notes) in a private placement to eligible purchasers under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). It is expected that the Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of Teekay’s subsidiaries and initially be secured by first-priority liens on two of Teekay’s floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units, a pledge of the equity interests of the Teekay subsidiary that owns all of Teekay’s common units of Teekay LNG Partners L.P. and Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. and all of Teekay’s Class A common shares of Teekay Tankers Ltd., and a pledge of the equity interests in the Teekay subsidiaries that own two of its FPSO units.

Teekay expects to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering to partially fund the tender offer, also announced today, to purchase any and all of its outstanding 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes) and any fees and expenses thereof. The remainder of the tender offer is expected to be funded with a portion of Teekay’s available existing cash and borrowings under its equity margin loan facility. The proposed Notes offering is conditioned upon the receipt of consents of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2020 Notes and the effectiveness of certain proposed amendments (the Proposed Amendments) to the indenture governing the 2020 Notes (which will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default and related provisions).
