If such notice is given, Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein accompanied by the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share in respect of the tranche of Loans being prepaid. (ii) If the Borrower determines that the Loan is an “applicable high yield discount obligation” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at the end of any “accrual period” (as defined in Section 1272(a)(5) of the Code) ending after the fifth anniversary of the issue date of the Loans, the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest and “original issue discount” (as defined in Section 1273(a)(1) of the Code) would, but for this Section 2.5(c), exceed an amount equal to the Loan’s “issue price” (as defined in Section 1273(b) and 1274(a) of the Code) multiplied by the Loan’s “yield to maturity” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(b)(1)(i)) (such product, the “Maximum Accrual”), the Borrower shall redeem at each such applicable date (an “AHYDO Catch-Up Payment Date”), without premium or penalty, the amount of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of principal to be redeemed, to, but excluding, the applicable AHYDO Catch-Up Payment Date, equal to all accrued and unpaid interest and original issue discount on the Loans as of the end of such accrual period in excess of an amount equal to the Maximum Accrual (the “AHYDO Catch-Up Payment”), and such AHYDO Catch-Up Payment shall be treated for purposes of Section 163(i) of the Code as interest paid under the Loan.  For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no prepayments under this paragraph on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement. (d) Application of Prepayments.  Each prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(ii) or Section 2.5(c) shall be accompanied by the Applicable Premium, if any, payable in connection with such prepayment of the Loans.  Each such prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal due on the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity. 2.6 [Reserved].

All payments received by the Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), may, in the Agent’s discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Except for payments which are expressly provided to be made for the account of Agent only, Agent shall promptly distribute all payments to the Lenders following receipt in like funds as received.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Lender or any of its Affiliates exercises its right of setoff under Section 12.3 or otherwise, any amounts so recovered shall promptly be shared by such Lender with the other Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares. (c) Next Business Day.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day (with respect to the Interest Period rules) and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest due hereunder. (d) Application.  Subject to Section 10.5, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right, if an Event of Default exists, to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, then such Lender (at the request of Borrower) shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 67 the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.11, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 2.11 Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.10, or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice by Borrower to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender agrees to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and the consents required by, Section 12.7), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) Borrower shall have paid to Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.7; (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.3 and 4.10) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and (e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 2.12 [Reserved]. 2.13 [Reserved]. 2.14 Sharing of Payments, Etc..  If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on

The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 2.15 [Reserved]. 2.16 Incremental Term Loans.

If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document would require a Loan Party to make any payment of interest or any other payment that by a court of competent jurisdiction construes to be interest in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in the Agent’s receipt of interest at a criminal rate (as those terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then despite that provision, that amount or rate will be deemed to have been adjusted retroactively to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or would not result in a receipt by the Agent of interest at a criminal rate. The adjustment will be made, to the extent necessary, first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid and thereafter by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums, and other amounts that would constitute interest for the purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). (b) In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Advance being converted from a LIBOR Rate Advance, the date of conversion of such LIBOR Rate Advance to such Base Rate Advance, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Advance being converted to a LIBOR Rate Advance, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Advance to such LIBOR Rate Advance, as the case may be, shall be excluded. (c) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days (or such other period that is less than a calendar year), as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days (or such other period that is less than a calendar year), as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by 360 or 365 (or such other period that is less than a calendar year), as the case may be, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. 4.10 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 73 or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Index Rate); (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans 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 or 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 suffered. (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth 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 4.10 and delivered to Borrower will be conclusive absent manifest error.  Borrower will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 4.11 Taxes.

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower.  The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (d) Indemnification by Borrower.  The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.7 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this clause (e). (f) Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.11, such Loan

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.11(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and 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 a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or 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 Loan Document, executed copies of 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 Loan Document, 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;

Solely for 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 77 purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 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 Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-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 clause (h) (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 clause (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (i) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 122 10.2 Acceleration and Termination.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall take any or all of the following actions, without prejudice to the rights of Agent or any Lender to enforce its claims against Borrower: (a) Acceleration.  To declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (except with respect to any Event of Default with respect to a Loan Party specified in Section 10.1(d), in which case all Obligations (including with any Applicable Premium) shall automatically become immediately due and payable) without presentment, demand, protest or any other action or obligation of Agent or any Lender, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. (b) Termination of Commitments.  To declare the Commitments immediately terminated (except with respect to any Event of Default with respect to a Loan Party set forth in Section 10.1(d), in which case the Commitments shall automatically terminate) and, at all times thereafter, any Loan made by the Lenders shall be in their discretion. Notwithstanding any such termination, until all Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, Agent and each Lender shall retain all rights under guaranties and all security in existing and future Receivables, inventory, general intangibles, investment property, real property and equipment of the Loan Parties and all other Collateral held by it hereunder and under the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained by, the Agent in accordance with this Article X for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 10.3 Other Remedies. (a) [Reserved] (b) The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or the Insolvency Act 1986, (ii) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, or (iii) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 123 action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy, in each case, free from any right of redemption, which right is expressly waived by Borrower. If notice of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, it is agreed that ten (10) days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notification.  Borrower will assemble the Collateral in their possession and make it available at such locations in the United States as Agent may specify, whether at the premises of a Loan Party or elsewhere, and will make reasonably available to Agent the premises and facilities of each Loan Party for the purpose of Agent’s taking possession of or removing the Collateral or putting the Collateral in saleable form.  Agent may sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable.  Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  The Borrower hereby grants Agent a license to enter and occupy (in each case, so long as no Event of Default then exists, at reasonable times and subject to reasonable procedures) any of Borrower’ leased or owned premises and facilities, without charge, to exercise any of Agent’s rights or remedies.  The proceeds received from any sale of Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 10.5. 10.4 License for Use of Software and Other Intellectual Property.  Borrower hereby grants to Agent a license or other right to use, without charge, all computer software programs, data bases, processes, trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, labels, trade secrets, service marks, advertising materials and other rights, assets and materials used by Borrower in connection with its businesses or in connection with the Collateral, in each case with respect to any exercise of remedies hereunder. 10.5 Post-Default Allocation of Payments. (a) Allocation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an Event of Default, if so directed by the Required Lenders or at Agent’s discretion, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by the Loan Parties, realization on Collateral, setoff, or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, to all Lender Group Expenses owing to Agent (including attorneys’ fees) in its capacity as Agent; (ii) second, to all Lender Group Expenses owing to the Lenders; (iii) third, [reserved]; (iv) fourth, [reserved]; (v) fifth, to all Obligations constituting fees (other than any Applicable Premium); and 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 124 (vi) sixth, to all Obligations constituting interest; and (vii) seventh, to all Obligations constituting principal and, thereafter,  to all Obligations constituting Applicable Premium; (viii) eighth, to all other Obligations; (ix) ninth, [reserved]; (x) tenth, [reserved]; and (xi) finally, to the Loan Parties or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto. Amounts shall be applied to each of the foregoing categories of Obligations in the order presented above before being applied to the following category.  Where applicable, all amounts to be applied to a given category will be applied on a pro rata basis among those entitled to payment in such category.  The allocations set forth in this section are solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Secured Parties among themselves and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party.  No Loan Party is entitled to any benefit under this Section or has any standing to enforce this section. 10.6 No Marshaling; Deficiencies; Remedies Cumulative.  Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any Collateral or to seek recourse against or satisfaction of any of the Obligations from one source before seeking recourse against or satisfaction from another source. The net cash proceeds resulting from Agent’s exercise of any of the foregoing rights to liquidate all or substantially all of the Collateral, shall be applied by Agent to such of the Obligations and in such order as Agent shall elect in its discretion, whether due or to become due.  Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and the Lenders for any deficiencies, and Agent and the Lenders in turn agree to remit to the applicable Loan Party or its successor or assign any surplus resulting therefrom.  All of Agent’s and the Lenders’ remedies under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, may be exercised simultaneously against any Collateral and any Loan Party or in such order and with respect to such Collateral or such Loan Party as Agent or the Lenders may deem desirable, and are not intended to be exhaustive. 10.7 Waivers.  Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein or in any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby waive any right to a judicial or other hearing with respect to any action or prejudgment remedy or proceeding by Agent to take possession, exercise control over, or dispose of any item of Collateral in any instance (regardless of where the same may be located) where such action is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by applicable law or of the time, place or terms of sale in connection with the exercise of Agent’s or any Lender’s rights hereunder and also waives any bonds, security or sureties required by any statute, rule or other law as an incident to any taking of possession by Agent of any Collateral.  Borrower also waive any damages (direct, consequential or otherwise) occasioned by the enforcement of Agent’s or any Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document including the taking of possession of any Collateral of Borrower or the giving of notice to any account debtor or the collection of any Receivable of a Loan Party. Borrower also consent that Agent and the Lenders may enter upon any premises owned by or 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 125 leased to it without obligations to pay rent or for use and occupancy, through self-help, without judicial process and without having first obtained an order of any court (in each case in connection with the remedies hereunder).  These waivers and all other waivers provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated by the parties, and Borrower acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its own choice, has consulted such counsel with respect to its rights hereunder and has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the result of arm’s-length negotiations. 10.8 Further Rights of Agent and the Lenders.  If Borrower shall fail to purchase or maintain insurance (where applicable), or to pay any tax, assessment, governmental charge or levy, except as the same may be otherwise permitted hereunder or which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP, or if any Lien prohibited hereby shall not be paid in full and discharged or if a Borrower shall fail to perform or comply with any other covenant, promise or obligation to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each case of the foregoing to the extent an Event of Default arises and continues, the Agent may (but shall not be required to) perform, pay, satisfy, discharge or bond the same for the account of Borrower, and all amounts so paid by Agent shall be treated as a Term Loan comprised of Base Rate Advances hereunder and shall constitute part of the Obligations. 10.9 Interest After Event of Default.  Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the additional interest and fees that may be charged under Section 4.2 are (a) an inducement to the Lenders to make Advances hereunder and that the Lenders and Agent would not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the inclusion of such provisions, (b) fair and reasonable estimates of the Lenders’ and Agent’s costs of administering the credit facility upon an Event of Default, and (c) intended to estimate the Lenders’ and Agent’s increased risks upon an Event of Default. 10.10 Receiver.  In addition to any other remedy available to it, Agent shall also have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during its continuation, to seek and obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and operate and/or dispose of the business and assets of Borrower. 10.11 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive.  The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy provided for herein or in any other Loan Document or otherwise provided by law from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default and during its continuation, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

(a) Each Lender hereby designates Atlantic Park as its agent and irrevocably authorizes it to take action on such Lender’s behalf under the Loan Documents and to exercise the powers and to perform the duties described therein and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Agent may perform any of its duties by or through its agents or employees or by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by it. (b) Each Lender further irrevocably authorizes the Agent to accept, for and on behalf of the Lenders, any parallel debt obligations with the Loan Parties pursuant to which the Agent shall have its own, independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by each Loan Party in connection with the Obligations. (c) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and except as expressly set forth herein, Loan Parties shall not have any rights with respect to any of the provisions hereof.  Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and assume no obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower. 11.2 Nature of Duties of Agent.  Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature.  Agent does not have a fiduciary relationship with or any implied duties to any Lender or any participant of any Lender. 11.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent. (a) Independent Investigation.  Independently and without reliance upon Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial or other condition and affairs of Borrower and the other Loan Parties in connection with taking or not taking any action related hereto and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Initial Term Loans or at any time or times thereafter. (b) No Obligation of Agent.  Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 127 Agreement or the financial or other condition of Borrower and the other Loan Parties.  Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the financial condition of Borrower and the other Loan Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to such Agent by a Loan Party or a Lender. 11.4 Certain Rights of Agent.  Agent may request instructions from the Required Lenders at any time.  If Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or inaction, it shall be entitled to await instructions from the Required Lenders.  No Lender shall have any right of action based upon Agent’s action or inaction in response to instructions from the Required Lenders. 11.5 Reliance by Agent.  Agent may rely upon any written, electronic or telephonic communication it believes to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.  Agent may obtain the advice of legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower with respect to matters concerning Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall have no liability for any action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith based upon such advice. 11.6 Indemnification of Agent.  To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrower, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that such indemnity payment is sought) for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents unless resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The agreements contained in this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Payment in Full of the Obligations. 11.7 Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  In its individual capacity, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or participation interest and may exercise the same as though it was not performing the duties specified herein.  The terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Atlantic Park in its individual capacity.  Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. 11.8 Holders of Notes. 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 128 Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent.  Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. 11.9 Successor Agent. (a) Resignation.  Agent may, upon twenty (20) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrower, resign by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. (b) Replacement of Agent after Resignation.  Upon receipt of notice of resignation by Agent, the Required Lenders, with, so long as no Event of Default then exists, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) may appoint a successor agent.  If a successor agent has not accepted its appointment within fifteen (15) Business Days, then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor agent which, so long as no Event of Default then exists, shall be subject to the written approval of Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be delivered to the retiring Agent and the Lenders within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of a proposed successor agent. (c) [reserved]. (d) Discharge.  Upon its acceptance of the agency hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  The retiring Agent shall continue to have the benefit of the provisions of this Article for any action or inaction while it was Agent. (e) For purposes of the Dutch Security Documents, any resignation by the Agent is not effective with respect to its rights under any parallel debt obligations until all rights and obligations with respect to such parallel debt obligations have been assigned to and assumed by the successor Agent.  The Agent will cooperate in assigning its right under the parallel debt obligations to any such successor agent and will cooperate in transferring all rights under any Dutch Security Document to such successor agent. 11.10 Collateral Matters. (a) Exercise Binding.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, any action or exercise of powers by Agent provided under the Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be deemed authorized by and binding upon all of the Lenders.  At any time and without notice to or consent from any Lender, Agent may take any action necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Liens upon the Collateral. 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 129 (b) Releases.  Agent is authorized to release any Lien granted to or held by it upon any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full of all of the Obligations, (ii) upon any sale or transfer of Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms by this Agreement or (iii) if the release can be and is approved by the Required Lenders. Agent may request, and the Lenders will provide, confirmation of Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral. (c) Sale of Collateral.  Upon any sale or transfer of Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written request (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree to in its sole discretion)  by Borrower, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent herein or under any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred, provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any document on terms which would reasonably expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower, including, without limitation, the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral in the exercise of remedies, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. (d) No Obligation for Agent.  Agent shall not have any obligation to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower, that the Collateral is cared for, protected or insured, or that the Liens on the Collateral have been created or perfected or have any particular priority.  With respect to the Collateral, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Atlantic Park’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders, and it shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders with respect thereto, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. 11.11 Actions with Respect to Defaults.  In addition to Agent’s right to take actions on its own accord as permitted under this Agreement, Agent shall take such action with respect to an Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders.  Until Agent shall have 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 130 received such directions, Agent may act or not act as it deems advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders. 11.12 Delivery of Information.  Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by Agent from Borrower, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request. 11.13 English Law Governed Transaction Security. (a) This Section 11.13 shall be governed by English law and applies in relation to the English Security Documents, with the security interest created or expressed to be created pursuant to the English Security Documents being the “English Transaction Security”. For the purposes of this Section 11.13 only: (i) “Finance Parties” means each Secured Bank Provider, Lender and the Agent; (ii) “Secured Parties” means each Finance Party from time to time party to this Agreement, any Receiver or Delegate and each other agent, arranger and lender from time to time party to this Agreement; (iii) “Receiver” means a receiver or receiver and manager or administrative receiver of the whole or any part of the Collateral; and (iv) “Delegate” means any delegate, agent, attorney or co-trustee appointed by the Agent. (b) The Agent declares that it holds the benefit of the English Transaction Security in trust for each Finance Party on the terms contained in this Agreement. (c) Each of the Finance Parties: (i) authorizes the Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Agent under or in connection with the English Security Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions; and (ii) agrees that no Finance Party shall have any independent power to enforce, or have recourse to, any of the Liens or Collateral created or evidenced, or expressed to be created or evidenced, under the English Security Documents or to exercise any right, power, authority or discretion arising under the English Security Documents except through the Agent. 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 131 (d) The Agent shall have the benefit of (without limitation) Sections 11.2 (Nature of Duties of Agent), 11.3 (Lack of Reliance on Agent), 11.4 (Certain Rights of Agent), 11.5 (Reliance by Agent), 11.6 (Indemnification of Agent), 11.10 (Collateral Matters), 11.11 (Actions with Respect to Defaults), 11.12 (Delivery of Information), 12.4 (Indemnification; Reimbursement of Expenses of Collection), 12.6 (Nonliability of Agent and Lenders), 12.13 (Limitation of Liability), 12.21 (Confidentiality) and 12.26 (Right to Cure), as if: (i) references in such clauses were governed by English law; and (ii) references in such clauses to the Agent were to the Agent acting in its capacity as “Security Agent” in respect of the English Transaction Security, mutatis mutandis. (e) The rights, powers, authorities and discretions given to the Agent under or in connection with the Loan Documents shall be supplemental to the Trustee Act 1925 and the Trustee Act 2000 and in addition to any which may be vested in the Agent by law or regulation or otherwise. (f) Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties of the Agent in relation to the trusts constituted by this Agreement, and where there are any inconsistencies between the Trustee Act 1925 or the Trustee Act 2000 and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by law and regulation, prevail and, in the case of any inconsistency with the Trustee Act 2000, the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a restriction or exclusion for the purposes of that Act. Sections 22 and 23 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the English Security Documents. (g) If the Agent determines, in accordance with Section 11.10(b)(i) (Collateral Matters: Releases) that: (i) all of the obligations secured by the English Security Document have been fully and finally discharged; and (ii) no Finance Party is under any commitment, obligation or liability (actual or contingent) to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to any Loan Party pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Agent shall release, without recourse or warranty, all of the Liens and Collateral created or evidenced, or expressed to be created or evidenced, under each English Security Document and the rights of the Agent under each of the English Security Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of that English Security Document and the terms of this Agreement and the trusts set out in this Agreement shall thereafter be wound up.

US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 132 (ii) If the Agent does not appoint an Affiliate as successor in the relevant resignation notice, the Required Lenders may appoint a successor Agent with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless an Event of Default then exists in which case no consent of the Borrower shall be required. If the Required Lenders have not appointed a successor within thirty (30) days after notice of resignation was given, the Agent may appoint a successor after consultation with the Borrower and the Required Lenders.

US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 138 this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). (c) Agreements of Assignee.  By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee and has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the Financial Statements referred to in Section 6.1(i), the Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.11, if any, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (d) Agent’s Register.  Agent, as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower shall maintain a register of the names and addresses of the Lenders, their Commitments and the principal amount (and stated interest) of their Loans (the “Register”).  Agent shall also maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and modify the Register to give effect to each Assignment and Acceptance.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.  Upon its receipt of each Assignment and 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 139 Acceptance, Agent will give prompt notice thereof to Borrower.  Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, Borrower shall execute and deliver to assignee Lender a new Note to the assignee in the amount of the applicable Commitment or Loans assumed by it and to the assignor in the amount of the applicable Commitment or Loans retained by it, if any.  Such new Note or Notes shall re-evidence the indebtedness outstanding under the surrendered Note or Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes and shall be dated as of the Acceptance Date.  Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Register exclusively for purposes of identifying the Lenders hereunder. (e) Securitization.  The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may securitize their Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans to their controlled Affiliates, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, S&P or one or more other rating agencies.  The Loan Parties shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect any and all Securitizations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Securitization shall release any Lender party thereto from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any pledgee, secured party or any other party to such Securitization for such Lender as a party hereto and no change in ownership of the Loans may be effected except pursuant to subsection (b) above. (f) Lender Participations.  Each Lender may sell participations to one or more parties (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding a Lender’s sale of a participation interest, such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged.  Borrower, Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender.  No Lender shall grant any Participant the right to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) increase the Commitment of the Lender from which the Participant purchased its participation interest; (ii) reduce the principal of, or rate or amount of interest on, the Loans subject to such participation interest; or (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans subject to such participation interest.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10 and 12.4 as if it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the last sentence of Section 2.9(b) as if it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 140 contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (g) Securities Laws.  Each Lender agrees that it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan, Note or other Obligation under the securities laws of the United States or of any other jurisdiction. (h) Information.  In connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 12.21, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses. (i) Pledge to Federal Reserve Bank.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 12.8 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement and any waiver or amendment hereto may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including by electronic imaging) all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart. 12.9 Severability.  In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 12.10 Maximum Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the parties hereto hereby agree that all agreements between them under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to Borrower and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the maximum non-usurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the Obligations, under the laws of the State of New York (or the laws of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement and the other 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 141 Loan Documents), or under applicable federal laws which may presently or hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum non-usurious interest rate than under the laws of the State of New York (or such other jurisdiction), in any case after taking into account, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all relevant payments or charges under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith, and any available exemptions, exceptions and exclusions (the “Highest Lawful Rate”).  If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such circumstance Agent or any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other Indebtedness of Borrower to Agent and the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness, until Payment in Full thereof, so that the actual rate of interest on account of all such Indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of such Indebtedness.  The terms and provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other agreements among the parties hereto. 12.11 [Reserved]. 12.12 Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns; Interpretation.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties, supersede any prior written and verbal agreements among them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and shall bind and benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  This Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly drafted, and no provision of it shall be interpreted or construed for or against a party because such party purportedly prepared or requested such provision, any other provision, or this Agreement as a whole. 12.13 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  NEITHER THE AGENT, ANY LENDER NOR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE LOAN PARTIES (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE) FOR LOSSES SUFFERED BY THE LOAN PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS OR RELATIONSHIPS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, UNLESS IT IS DETERMINED BY A FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT OR COURT ORDER BINDING ON THE AGENT, SUCH LENDER OR SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY (AS THE CASE MAY BE) THAT THE LOSSES WERE THE RESULT OF ACTS OR OMISSIONS CONSTITUTING GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE AGENT, SUCH LENDER, OR SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY (AS THE CASE MAY BE).

Each of Agent and the Lenders shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed by any of them (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential and are bound by confidentiality restrictions customary for such arrangements); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any assignee or any actual or prospective assignee, participant or pledgee (or any of their respective advisors) in connection with any actual or prospective assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement; (g) with the consent of Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Agent or the Lenders or any of its or their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties.

As used herein, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to it or its business that a reasonable person would consider confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information.  Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (i) Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 145 information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including federal and state securities laws. 12.23 Patriot Act Notice, etc..  Agent hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, Agent is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow the Lender to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.  Agent will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding the Loan Parties’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. 12.24 Advice of Counsel.  The Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 12.25 Captions.  The captions at various places in this Agreement and any other Loan Document are intended for convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 12.26 Platform. (a) The Borrower agrees that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on the Platform. (b) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”  The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform.  In no event shall the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, advisors, shareholders, attorneys or Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform, unless it is determined by a final and nonappealable judgment or court order that the damages were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent Party.  “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein that is distributed to the Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform. 12.27 Right to Cure.  Agent may, in its discretion, 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 146 (a) cure any default by any Loan Party under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Material Contract that affects the Collateral, its value or the ability of Agent to collect, sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or the rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders therein or the ability of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (b) pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against any Loan Party, (c) discharge any charges, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or existing with respect to the Collateral and (d) pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which Agent, in its discretion, determines is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain the Collateral and the rights of Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto. Agent may add any amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge any account of Borrower with Agent or the amounts thereof, such amounts to be repayable by Borrower on demand and bear interest until paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Loans.  Agent shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of any Loan Party.  Any payment made or other action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default and to proceed accordingly. 12.28 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution and/or UK Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and/or UK Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority and/or UK Resolution Authority  to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution or UK Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (c) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (d) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution or UK Financial Institution (as the case may be), its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 





 






US-LEGAL-10415143/7 US-DOCS\127178129.4127379965.9 147 (e) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority or UK Resolution Authority (as the case may be). 12.29 Time.  Time is of the essence in this Agreement and each other Loan Document. Unless otherwise expressly provided, all references herein and in any other Loan Documents to time shall mean and refer to New York time. 12.30 Keepwell.  The Borrower and each other Loan Party, to the extent constituting a Qualified ECP Guarantor, hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the guaranty contained in the Guaranty and Security Agreement made by it in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect at all times hereafter until the Obligations have been Paid in Full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section shall constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 12.31 Sovereign Immunity.  Each Loan Party, in respect of itself, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that such Person or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States of America or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Loans or any Loan Document or any other liability or obligation of such Person related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from suit, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Person hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Requirements of Law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States of America or elsewhere.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 12.31 shall be effective to the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the U.S. and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act. 12.32 Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Initial Term Loans made under this Agreement, together with the Warrants, shall be treated as an investment unit, and $14,700,000 of the price paid for the investment unit shall, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated to the purchase of the Warrants and thereby result in a corresponding reduction in the “issue price” of the Initial Term Loans.  Except as otherwise required by a Governmental Authority or change in applicable law, parties hereto agree to file tax returns consistent with the allocation set forth in this paragraph.
