and (b) each Term A-1 Lender with a Term A-1 Loan Commitment (severally and not
jointly) agrees to make a Term A-1 Loan to the Company in Dollars in a single
drawing during the Term Loan Availability Period, in an amount equal to such
Lender’s Term A-1 Loan Commitment, on the Term Loan Trigger Date by making
immediately available funds available to the Administrative Agent’s designated
account, not later than the time specified by the Administrative Agent and (c)
each Term A-2 Lender with a Term A-2 Loan Commitment (severally and not jointly)

available funds available to the Administrative Agent’s designated account, not
later than the time specified by the Administrative Agent. Within the foregoing
limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers
may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Canadian Revolving Loans may
only be made to (and may only be requested by or in respect of) a Canadian
Borrower, and a Canadian Borrower may not request a Eurocurrency Loan
denominated in Canadian Dollars (nor may the Company or any other Person request
such a Eurocurrency Loan on behalf of a Canadian Borrower in Canadian Dollars)
but, for the avoidance of doubt, a Canadian Borrower may request Eurocurrency
Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Canadian Dollars. Amounts
repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

 

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan)
shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and
Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan
required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations
hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no
Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as
required. Any Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 2.05. The Term Loans shall amortize as set forth in Section
2.10.

 

(b)       Subject to Section 2.14, (i) each Revolving Borrowing (other than a
Canadian Revolving Borrowing), Term A-1 Loan Borrowing and Term A-2 Loan
Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the
relevant Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that each ABR
Loan shall only be made in Dollars and no ABR Loan shall be made to a Designated
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, (ii) each Swingline Loan shall be (w) an ABR Loan
in the case of a Swingline Loan denominated in Dollars (other than a Designated
Swingline Dollar Loan), (x) a Eurocurrency Swingline Loan in the case of a
Swingline Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency (for the avoidance of doubt,
other than a Canadian Swingline Loan), (y) a Canadian Base Rate Loan in the case
of a Canadian Swingline Loan or (z) a Eurocurrency Swingline Loan in the case of
a Designated Swingline Dollar Loan, and (iii) each Canadian Revolving Borrowing
shall be comprised entirely of BA Equivalent Loans. Each Lender at its option
may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such
Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of
Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 2.17A shall apply to such Affiliate to the
same extent as to

 

46

 

 

Borrowing is to be a BA Equivalent Borrowing) and whether such Borrowing is a
Revolving Borrowing, a Term A-1 Loan Borrowing or a Term A-2 Loan Borrowing;

 

(v)                in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Agreed Currency
and initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;

 

(vi)              in the case of a BA Equivalent Borrowing, the initial Interest
Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the
definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

 

(vii)             the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account
to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of
Section 2.07.

 

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then (x) in the case of
a Borrowing denominated in Dollars (other than a Designated Loan), the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing and (y) in the case of a Canadian Revolving
Borrowing, the requested Borrowing shall be a BA Equivalent Borrowing. If no
Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency
Revolving Borrowing or BA Equivalent Revolving Borrowing, then the relevant
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details
thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the
requested Borrowing.

 

SECTION 2.04. Determination of Dollar Amounts. The Administrative Agent will
determine the Dollar Amount of:

 

(a)           each Eurocurrency Borrowing or Canadian Revolving Borrowing, on
each of the following: (i) the date of the making of such Loan and (ii) each
date of a conversion or continuation of such Loan pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement,

 

(b)          (i) each Eurocurrency Swingline Loan denominated in a Foreign
Currency (for the avoidance of doubt, other than a Canadian Swingline Loan) as
of the date one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the making of such
Swingline Loan and (ii) each Canadian Swingline Loan on the date of the making
of such Swingline Loan,

 

(c)           any Letter of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, on each of
the following: (i) the date on which such Letter of Credit is issued, (ii) the
first Business Day of each calendar month and (iii) the date of any amendment of
such Letter of Credit that has the effect of increasing the face amount thereof,
and

 

(d)          all outstanding Credit Events, on any additional date as the
Administrative Agent may determine at any time when an Event of Default exists.

 

Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines Dollar Amounts
as described in the preceding clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) is herein described
as a “Computation Date” with respect to each Credit Event for which a Dollar
Amount is determined on or as of such day.

 

SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Swingline Lender may in its sole discretion make Swingline Loans in
any of the Agreed Currencies to any Borrower from time to time during the
Revolving Credit Availability Period, in an aggregate principal Dollar Amount at
any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate

 

48

 

 

relevant Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed,
and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower for the LC Exposure for
such Borrower at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated
(but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing
greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other
Obligations. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to
the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within
three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder
pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company as and to the extent that, after
giving effect to such return, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures would not
exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments and no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.

 

(k)           Issuing Bank Agreements. Each Issuing Bank agrees that, unless
otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall report
in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on
which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit,
the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the aggregate face amount
and currency of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended or extended by it
and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension
occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), (ii) on each Business Day on
which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC
Disbursement and the amount and currency of such LC Disbursement, (iii) on any
Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement
required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such
failure and the amount and currency of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any
other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request.

 

(l)            LC Exposure Determination. Unless otherwise specified herein, the
amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of
such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with
respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of
Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases
in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be
deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to
all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn
at such time.

 

SECTION 2.07.Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be
made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof (which shall be the Term Loan
Funding Date in the case of the Term Loans) solely by wire transfer of
immediately available funds (i) in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in
Dollars (other than a Designated Loan), by 2:30 p.m., New York City time, to the
account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders, (ii) in the case of each Revolving Loan
denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than Swiss Francs) and Designated
Loans, by 12:00 noon, Local Time, in the city of the Administrative Agent’s
Applicable Payment Office for such currency and at such Applicable Payment
Office for such currency, (iii) in the case of each Revolving Loan denominated
in Swiss Francs, by 8:00 a.m., Local Time, in the city of the Administrative
Agent’s Applicable Payment Office for such currency and at such Applicable
Payment Office for such currency, (iv) in the case of Term A-1 Loans, as
provided in Section 2.01(b) and, (v) in the case of Term A-2 Loans, as provided
in Section 2.01(c) and (vi) in the case of Swingline Loans, as provided in
Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
relevant Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds,
to an account of such Borrower designated by such Borrower in the applicable
Borrowing Request; provided that

 

56

 

 

repaid in accordance with Section 2.11 and (iii) in the case of a BA Equivalent
Borrowing, in respect of which the applicable Canadian Borrower shall have
failed to deliver an Interest Election Request prior to the third (3rd) Business
Day preceding the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall
automatically continue as a BA Equivalent Borrowing with an Interest Period of
one month unless such BA Equivalent Borrowing is or was repaid in accordance
with Section 2.11. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing
denominated in Dollars (other than a Designated Loan) may be converted to or
continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency
Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars (other than a Designated Loan) shall

thereto but without duplication for interest payments made by any Borrower on
such amount, (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing
denominated in a Foreign Currency, and each Designated Loan, shall automatically
be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month
and (iv) unless repaid, each BA Equivalent Borrowing shall automatically be

terminated, (i) the Term A-1 Loan Commitments and the Term A-2 Loan Commitments
shall terminate on the Term Loan Commitment Expiration Date and (ii) the

(b)          The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce,
the Revolving Commitments, the Term A-1 Loan Commitments and/or the Term A-2
Loan Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments,
the Term A-1 Loan Commitments or the Term A-2 Loan Commitments, as applicable,
shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less
than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving
Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in
accordance with Section 2.11, (A) any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would
exceed its Revolving Commitment or (B) the Dollar Amount of the Total Revolving
Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments.

 

(c)          The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election
to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments, the Term A-1 Loan Commitments
or the Term A-2 Loan Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least
three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or
reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered
by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a
notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments, the Term A-1 Loan
Commitments or the Term A-2 Loan Commitments delivered by the Company may state
that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities or one or more other events specified therein, in which case such
notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on
or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.
Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the Term A-1 Loan
Commitments or the Term A-2 Loan Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction
of the Revolving Commitments, the Term A-1 Loan Commitments or the Term A-2 Loan
Commitments shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance
with their respective Revolving Commitments, Term A-1 Loan Commitments or Term
A-2 Loan Commitments, as applicable.

 

59

 

 

(d)          The Term A-1 Loan Commitments and the Term A-2 Loan Commitments
shall be reduced pursuant to Section 4.02(b), to the extent required thereunder.

that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Company shall repay
all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans
outstanding.

 

(ii)               The Company shall repay Term A-1 Loans in installments as
follows (each such day referred to in the immediately succeeding clauses (ix)
through (iiiz), a “Term A-1 Loan Installment Date”): (ix) on the last day of the
first calendar quarter ending following the Term Loan Funding Date and on the
last day of each of the seven calendar quarters ending immediately after such
first calendar quarter, 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term A-1
Loans actually funded on the Term Loan Funding Date (such amount, the “Term A-1
Loan Funded Amount”); (iiy) on the last day of the ninth calendar quarter ending
following the Term Loan Funding Date and on the last day of each of the seven

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

 

(c)          The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall

(d)          The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay
the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(e)          Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to any Borrower be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the relevant Borrower shall
prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such

applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall
notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline
Loan, the Swingline Lender) in writing of any prepayment hereunder (i) (x) in
the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars or a

prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to
be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with
a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by
Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of
termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following
receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment

 

61

 

 

of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an

denominated in Foreign Currencies, as of the most recent Computation Date with
respect to each such Credit Event) exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments
or (ii) at any time determined pursuant to Section 2.04, solely as a result of
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the aggregate principal Dollar Amount
of the Total Revolving Credit Exposure (so calculated) exceeds 105% of the
aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Company shall in each case immediately
repay Revolving Borrowings or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(j), as applicable, in an
aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the aggregate Dollar Amount of
the Total Revolving Credit Exposure (so calculated) to be less than or equal to
the aggregate Revolving Commitments.

 

SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at
the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Revolving Commitment of such
Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment
terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit

Revolving Loans on the average daily Dollar Amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure
in respect of Standby Letters of Credit (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements in respect of Standby Letters of
Credit) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding
the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure in
respect of Standby Letters of Credit, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its

excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC

with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer,
presentment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Unless otherwise specified above, participation fees and fronting

which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other
fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable
within ten (10) days after demand (or such later time specified in any invoice
delivered to the Company with respect thereto or otherwise agreed to by the
relevant Issuing Bank). All participation fees and fronting fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

long as the Company shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the
covenants contained in Section 6.10 as of the date of execution of the related
Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement by the parties thereto. On the
effective date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments or any Incremental

Lenders to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans,
and (ii) except in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, the Borrowers shall
be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of
the date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments (with such reborrowing to
consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if
applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the applicable Borrower, or the
Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii)
of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all
accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan
or BA Equivalent Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.16 if the deemed payment occurs other
than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. The Incremental Term Loans
(a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans and the
initial Term Loans, (b) shall not mature earlier than the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date or the Term A-1 Loan Maturity Date (but may have amortization and
mandatory prepayments prior to such date) and (c) shall be treated substantially
the same (as reasonably determined by the Company and the Administrative Agent)
as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans and the initial
Term Loans; provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche
of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and
the Term A-1 Loan Maturity Date may provide for material additional or different
financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during
periods after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the Term A-1 Loan Maturity
Date and (ii) the Incremental Term Loans may have different pricing and
economics (including, without limitation, with respect to upfront fees, original
issue discount, premiums, and interest rate) than the Revolving Loans and the
initial Term Loans. Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an
amendment or restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of this
Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the
Borrowers, each Increasing Lender participating in such tranche, each Augmenting
Lender participating in such tranche, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The
Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders,
effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent,
to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20. Nothing contained in this Section
2.20 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of
any Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment hereunder, or provide
Incremental Term Loans, at any time. This Section shall supersede any provisions
in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

 

SECTION 2.21. [Intentionally Omitted].

 

SECTION 2.22. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in
any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in
the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into
another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may
effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could
purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative
Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which
final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of each Borrower in
respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder
shall, notwithstanding any

 

83

 

 

Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent
with Section 2.24(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate
therein).

 

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent
shall occur following the Effective Date and for so long as such event shall
continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank has a good faith
belief that any Revolving Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its funding
obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Revolving Lender
commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any
Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase
any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the relevant Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or
such Revolving Lender, reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such
Revolving Lender hereunder.

 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Swingline Lender
and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving
Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a
Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving
Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans
of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the
Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender
to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, whereupon such
Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will
be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on
behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided,
further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

SECTION 2.25. Extension of Maturity Date.

 

(a)            Requests for Extension. The Company may, by notice to the
Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the applicable Class of Lenders)
not earlier than 120 days and not later than 30 days prior to each anniversary
of the date of this Agreement (each such date, an “Extension Date”), request
that each applicable Lender extend such Lender’s Revolving Credit Maturity Date,
Term A-1 Loan Maturity Date or Term A-2 Loan Maturity Date, as the case may be
(the “Applicable Maturity Date”) to the date that is one year after the
Applicable Maturity Date then in effect with respect to such Class for such
Lender (such date that is one year after such Applicable Maturity Date, the
“Extended Maturity Date”).

 

(b)            Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender of the applicable Class,
acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the
Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is 20 days after the
date on which the Administrative Agent received the Company’s extension request
(the “Lender Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such
Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender of the applicable Class that
determines to so extend its Applicable Maturity Date, an “Extending Lender”).
Each Lender of the applicable Class that determines not to so extend its
Applicable Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any
event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender of the applicable
Class that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender
Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any
Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so
agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any

 

86

 

 

obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Company for extension
of the Applicable Maturity Date.

 

(c)            Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Company of each applicable Lender’s determination under this
Section no later than the date that is 15 days prior to the applicable Extension
Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business
Day).

 

(d)            Additional Commitment Lenders. The Company shall have the right,
but shall not be obligated, on or before the Applicable Maturity Date for any
Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as a
“Revolving Lender” (in the case of any extension of the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date) or, as a “Term A-1 Lender” (in the case of any extension of the
Term A-1 Loan Maturity Date) or as a “Term A-2 Lender” (in the case of any
extension of the Term A-2 Loan Maturity Date) under this Agreement in place
thereof, one or more financial institutions that are not Ineligible Institutions
(each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 2.19(b), each of which
Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and
Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04, with the Company or replacement Lender obligated to pay any
applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender,
pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or
before the Applicable Maturity Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a
Revolving Commitment, Term A-1 Loans and/or Term A-2 Loans, as applicable (and,
if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender of the applicable
Class, its Revolving Commitment, Term A-1 Loans and/or Term A-2 Loans, as
applicable, so assumed shall be in addition to such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment, Term A-1 Loans and/or its Term A-2 Loans. Prior to any Non-Extending
Lender being replaced by one or more Additional Commitment Lenders pursuant
hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving
irrevocable notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Company (which
notice shall set forth such Lender’s new Applicable Maturity Date), to become an
Extending Lender. The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this
Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with
the consent of the Company but without the consent of any other Lenders.

 

(e)            Conditions to Effectiveness of Extension. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (x) no more than two (2) extensions of the Maturity Date shall be
permitted hereunder and (y) any extension of any Maturity Date pursuant to this
Section 2.25 shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:

 

(i)            no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect
thereto;

 

(ii)           the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in
this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects
if such representation is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect)
on and as of the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, as
though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty
is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific
date); and

 

87

 

 

(iii)          the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from
the Company signed by a Financial Officer of the Company certifying the accuracy
of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii).

 

(f)             Maturity Date for Non-Extending Lenders. On the Applicable
Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) to the extent of the Revolving
Commitments, Term A-1 Loans and Term A-2 Loans of each Non-Extending Lender of
the relevant Class not assigned to the Additional Commitment Lenders of such
Class, the Revolving Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender of such Class shall
automatically terminate and (ii) the Company shall repay such Non-Extending
Lender of such Class in accordance with Section 2.10 (and shall pay to such
Non-Extending Lender all of the other Obligations owing to it under this
Agreement) and after giving effect thereto shall prepay any Loans of the
applicable Class outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 2.16) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding
Loans of the applicable Class ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of
the respective Lenders of such Class effective as of such date, and the
Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the
applicable Credit Exposures (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata
borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this
Agreement).

 

(g)            Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any
provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 9.02 to the contrary.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Representations and Warranties

 

Each Borrower for itself, and the Company on behalf of itself and its
Subsidiaries, represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

 

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers; Subsidiaries. Each of the Loan Parties is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such
concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry
on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good
standing (to the extent such concept is applicable) in, every jurisdiction where
such qualification is required. Schedule 3.01 hereto identifies each Subsidiary
as of the Effective Date, noting whether such Subsidiary is a Material Domestic
Subsidiary as of the Effective Date, the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization, as the case may be, the percentage of issued and outstanding
shares of each class of its capital stock or other equity interests owned by the
Company and the other Subsidiaries and, if such percentage is not 100%
(excluding (i) directors’ qualifying shares and (ii) shares issued to foreign
nationals to the extent required by applicable law), a description of each class
issued and outstanding.

 

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each
Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all
necessary organizational actions and, if required, actions by equity holders.
The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party have been duly executed
and delivered by such Loan Party and constitute a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of
equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

88

 

 

SECTION 4.02. Term Loan Funding Date. The obligations of the Term Lenders to
make Term Loans shall not become effective until the date on which each of the
following conditions is satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 9.02):

 

(a)            The Effective Date shall have occurred.

 

(b)            The Bengal Acquisition shall, substantially concurrently with the
funding of the Term Loans hereunder, be consummated in all material respects in
accordance with the Bengal Acquisition Agreement, without giving effect to any
amendments, modifications, supplements or waivers by the Company (or any of its
Subsidiaries) thereto or consents by the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries)
thereunder that are materially adverse to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders in their capacities as such without the Administrative Agent’s prior
written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (it
being understood and agreed that (i) amendments, waivers and other changes to
the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the Bengal
Acquisition Agreement as in effect on July 12, 2019) shall be deemed to be
materially adverse to the Lenders, and (ii) any modification, amendment or
express waiver or consents by the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) that
results in (x) an increase to the purchase price shall be deemed to not be
materially adverse to the Lenders so long as such increase is not in excess of
10% of the purchase price or not funded with proceeds of indebtedness (other
than borrowings of Revolving Loans under this Agreement) and (y) a decrease to
the purchase price shall be deemed to not be materially adverse to the Lenders
so long as (1) such reduction is less than 10% of the purchase price or (2) such
reduction is allocated to reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis simultaneously
both (A) the Term A-1 Loan Commitments and the Term A-2 Loan Commitments,
ratably, and (B) the commitments provided to the Company in connection with the
Bengal Acquisition pursuant to the 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility
commitment letter, dated as of July 12, 2019, by and among the Company, JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. and certain other lenders (and any bridge credit agreement
entered into in connection therewith) (such commitments described in this clause
(B), the “Specified Commitments”) (it being understood and agreed, for the
avoidance of doubt and by way of example, for purposes of the foregoing clause
(2), a $1 decrease in the purchase price would reduce the Term A-1 Loan
Commitments and the Term A-2 Loan Commitments, ratably, by $1 and also reduce
the Specified Commitments by $1)).

 

(c)            The Bengal Refinancing shall have been consummated prior to or
substantially concurrently with the funding of the Term Loans.

 

(d)            Each of the Bengal Acquisition Agreement Representations and the
Specified Representations shall be true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the Term Loan Funding Date (provided that any representation and
warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or
similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any
qualification therein) in all respects on such date).

 

(e)            Since July 12, 2019, there shall not have not occurred any
effect, change, development, event, circumstance, occurrence, condition, fact or
state of facts that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Bengal (it being
understood and agreed that for purposes of this clause (e), the term “Material
Adverse Effect” shall be defined in the same manner as the definition of
“Material Adverse Effect” set forth in the Bengal Acquisition Agreement).

 

93

 

 

each case, in violation of applicable Sanctions or (iii) in any manner that
would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.
The undertaking given in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be given
(i) by any Loan Party or (ii) to any Lender to the extent that such undertaking
would result in any violation of, conflict with or liability under EU Regulation
(EC) 2271/96, section 7 of the German Foreign Trade Ordinance
(Außenwirtschaftsverordnung) or a similar anti-boycott statute.

 

SECTION 5.09. Subsidiary Guaranty. As promptly as possible but in any event
within forty-five (45) days (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the
Administrative Agent) after delivery of the applicable annual Compliance
Certificate showing that any Person qualifies as a Material Domestic Subsidiary
(other than Excluded Subsidiaries), the Company shall cause such Material
Domestic Subsidiary to deliver to the Administrative Agent a joinder to the
Subsidiary Guaranty (in substantially the form contemplated thereby) pursuant to
which such Subsidiary agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof,
such Subsidiary Guaranty to be accompanied by appropriate corporate resolutions,
other customary corporate documentation and legal opinions, to the extent
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

Negative Covenants

 

Until the Commitments have expired or terminated and the principal of and
interest on each Loan and all fees payable hereunder have been paid in full and
all Letters of Credit have expired or terminated (or shall have been cash
collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent) and all LC Disbursements shall have been
reimbursed, the Company covenants and agrees with the Lenders that:

 

SECTION 6.01. Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary
to, create or suffer to exist, any Lien on or with respect to any of its
properties, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or assign any right to
receive income other than:

 

(a)            Liens pursuant to any Loan Document (including Liens on any cash
in favor of an Issuing Bank required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement);

 

(b)           Liens existing on the Effective Date (i) that do not exceed
$1,000,000 or (ii) are listed on Schedule 6.01 and any renewals or extensions
thereof; provided that the property covered thereby is not increased and any
renewal or extension of the obligations secured or benefited thereby is
permitted by Section 6.03(b);

 

(c)            Liens for taxes not yet due or which are being contested in good
faith and by appropriate proceedings in the circumstances, if adequate reserves
with respect thereto are maintained on the books of the applicable Person in
accordance with GAAP;

 

(d)            carriers’, warehousemen’s, mechanics’, materialmen’s, repairmen’s
or other like Liens arising in the ordinary course of business which are not
overdue for a period of more than sixty (60) days or which are being contested
in good faith and by appropriate proceedings in the circumstances, if adequate
reserves with respect thereto are maintained on the books of the applicable
Person to the extent required in accordance with GAAP;

 

(e)            pledges or deposits in the ordinary course of business in
connection with workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance and other social
security legislation (including,

written consent of each Lender (it being understood that, solely with the
consent of the parties prescribed by Section 2.20 to be parties to an
Incremental Term Loan Amendment, Incremental Term Loans may be included in
Section 2.20 on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Loans are included
immediately prior to such Incremental Term Loan Amendment), (v) (x) waive any
condition set forth in Section 4.03 in respect of the making of a Revolving Loan
without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders or (y) waive any
condition set forth in Section 4.02 in respect of the making of a Term Loan
without the written consent of the Required Term Lenders (it being understood
and agreed that any amendment or waiver of, or any consent with respect to, any
provision of this Agreement (other than any waiver expressly relating to Section
4.02 or Section 4.03, as applicable) or any other Loan Document, including any
amendment of any affirmative or negative covenant set forth herein or in any
other Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or an Event of Default, shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of a condition set forth in Section 4.02 or Section
4.03, as applicable, for purposes of this Section 9.02), (vi) change any of the
provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required
Revolving Lenders”, “Required Term 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 (or each Lender of such
Class, as applicable) (it being understood that, solely with the consent of the
parties prescribed by Section 2.20 to be parties to an Incremental Term Loan
Amendment, Incremental Term Loans may be included in the determination of
Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and the
Loans are included immediately prior to such Incremental Term Loan Amendment),
or (vii) release the Company from its obligations under Article X or, except as
permitted by Section 9.14, all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors
from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, in each case without the
written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall
amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, as the case may be.

 

(c)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan
Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (x) to add one
or more credit facilities (in addition to the Incremental Term Loans pursuant to
an Incremental Term Loan Amendment) to this Agreement and to permit extensions
of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and
fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans, the initial Term Loans,
Incremental Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and
(y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any
determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.

 

(d)            If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent
requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “such Lender,” the consent of the
Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not
obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being
referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Company may elect to
replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided
that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which
is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent shall
agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due
to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to
become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all
obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to
comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, (ii) each Borrower
shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such

[Date]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is hereby made to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
dated August 28, 2019 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among
Hillenbrand, Inc. (the “Company”), the Subsidiary Borrowers from time to time
party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
