Representations and Warranties of the Borrower and the Guarantors.  The Borrower and each Guarantor represents and warrants as follows:
Authority; Enforceability.  The execution and delivery of this First Amendment and the performance of the obligations contemplated hereby are within its corporate or other powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company and, if required, stockholder or other action.  This First Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, 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.
Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement (other than as set forth in Sections 4.4(b) and 4.6(a) of the Credit Agreement) and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the date hereof as though made on and as of the date hereof (except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.4(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(b) of the Credit Agreement), other than those representations and warranties which expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case, they were true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of such earlier date. 
No Default.  As of the First Amendment Effective Date and after giving effect to this First Amendment, no event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes a Default or Event of Default.
Solvency.  Immediately after the effectiveness of this First Amendment, the incurrence of the First Amendment Additional Term Loans, the use of proceeds therefrom and the other transactions to occur on the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries will, on a consolidated basis, be Solvent.
Reallocation.  For the avoidance of doubt, all or any part of any Non-Consenting Lender’s LC Exposure and Revolving Loans shall automatically (effective on the First Amendment Effective Date) be reallocated among the consenting Revolving Lenders and any Replacement Lenders with respect to the Revolving Facility (each, a “Replacement Revolving Lender”) in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated after giving effect to the assignments of Revolving Commitments to such Replacement Revolving Lenders and without regard to any Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any consenting Revolving 
    5






Lender or Replacement Revolving Lender to exceed such consenting Revolving Lender’s or Replacement Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment.
Governing Law.  This First Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
Counterparts.  This First Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this First Amendment that is an Electronic Signature by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart of this First Amendment.
Reaffirmation; No Novation.  As a further assurance, each Loan Party, by its signature below, hereby affirms and confirms (i) its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (ii) its guarantee of the Loan Document Obligations and the pledge of and/or grant of a security interest in its assets as Collateral to secure the Loan Document Obligations, and acknowledges and agrees that such guarantee, pledge and/or grant continue in full force and effect in respect of, and to secure, the Loan Document Obligations. This First Amendment shall not extinguish the Loan Document Obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any guarantee thereof or any grant of security thereunder, and the guarantees and security interests existing immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all Loan Document Obligations. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a novation of any of the Loan Documents or a substitution or novation, or a payment and reborrowing, or a termination, of the Loan Document Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement or instruments guaranteeing or securing the same, which instruments shall remain and continue in full force and effect. Nothing expressed or implied in this First Amendment or any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Credit Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder, and except as expressly provided herein, such obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this First Amendment.
Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents.
Upon and after the effectiveness of this First Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.  This First Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
The Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed and are and shall 
    6






continue to constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors.
The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this First Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.
Tax Matters.  The parties hereto shall treat all the Initial Term Loans (including the First Amendment Additional Term Loans) as one fungible tranche for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes.
Headings.  Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this First Amendment.
Severability.  In case any provision in this First Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this First Amendment and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that, after the end of 2021,it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the 








London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.24 of this Agreement, such









Section 2.24 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interestLIBOR. The applicable Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.24,2.14(e), in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, each Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.12(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.14(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.24, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

notice, the Revolver Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each such Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Lender then holding a Revolving Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans.

Section 2.6


Section 2.7


[Reserved].


Funding of Borrowings.




(a)Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed
date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, to the Applicable Account of the applicable Administrative Agent; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.5. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (and, if such Borrowing is requested to be made on the Effective Date, Section 5.1), the applicable Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the 








reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 3.5 shall be remitted by the Revolver Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving









Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 3.5 to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.


(b)Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (other than a Borrowing of Swingline Loans) that such Lender will not make available to such Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing, such Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Applicable Percentage available on such date in accordance with Section 2.7(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Borrowing available to the applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the applicable Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the applicable Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the applicable Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the applicable Administrative Agent.


(c)Obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans,
to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.3(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.3(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and, other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.3(c).


Section 2.8    Interest Elections.


(a)Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the
applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.

This Section 2.8 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.


(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.8, the Borrower shall notify the
applicable Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the applicable Administrative Agent of an Interest Election Request in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and signed by the Borrower.


(c)Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.2:


(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if
different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(d)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the applicable
Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.


(e)If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or









continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(a)Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments, the commitment of
the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans and the commitment of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(i)the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving
Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate, in each case, used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements (expressed in dollars in the amount of Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than dollars)), 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 Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure;


(ii)each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each
Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (or if terminated on an earlier date to the termination date of such Letter of Credit), computed at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum or such other percentage per annum to be agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank of the daily outstanding amount of such Letter of Credit, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each January, April, July and October shall be payable in accordance with clause (f) below; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand until the expiration or cancellation of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

(c)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Term Loan Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender then holding a Delayed Draw Term Commitment (other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the relevant percentage set forth across from the heading “Commitment Fee” in the definition of “Applicable Rate” on the daily amount of the unused Delayed Draw Term Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Delayed Draw Termination Date.

available funds. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(i)the applicable Administrative Agent determines (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Borrowing, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or


(ii)the applicable Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Revolving
Lenders, the Required Initial Term Loan Lenders or the Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders (as applicable to Revolving Loans, Initial Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans, respectively) that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;


then such Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until such Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and the utilization of the LIBO Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended; provided, however, that, in each case, the Borrower may revoke any Borrowing Request that is pending when such notice is received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (i) of this Section 2.14 and/or is advised by the Required Revolving Lenders, the Required Initial Term Loan Lenders or the Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, of their determination in accordance with clause (ii) of this Section 2.14 and the Borrower shall so request, the applicable Administrative Agent, the Required Revolving Lenders, the Required Initial Term Loan Lenders or the Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of “LIBO Rate” and other applicable provisions to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change; provided that, until so amended, the Loans under such Eurodollar Borrowing at issue will be handled as otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14 and Section 2.24.if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.










(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section









2.14), if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the applicable Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class.


     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the applicable Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, no Administrative Agent shall be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.


(d) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agents will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.


     (e) The applicable Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to  clause (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.


     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then such Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then such Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(b)If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such
Lender or any lending office of such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’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 or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or Issuing Bank or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered.


(c)A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.15(a) or 2.15(b) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.


(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or 








reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’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 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefore (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.

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


(d)The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), or by the applicable Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


(e)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan  Party to  a
Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent.

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) (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 Section 2.17(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required









to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) 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 Section 2.17(g) 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.


(h)Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or
replacement of the applicable Administrative 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.


(i)For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” for purposes of this Section 2.17
includes any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender.


Section 2.18    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.


(a)The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the applicable Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the applicable Administrative Agent at its Payment Office, except payments to be made directly to the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Each Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder, including in respect of LC Disbursements, shall be made in dollars.


(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the applicable
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, Letter of Credit Obligations and to the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Banks, to provide cash collateral for that portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of letters of credit issued under this Agreement to the extent not otherwise provided by 








the Borrower and to the payment of all other Loan Document Obligations, in each case, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the respective amounts described in this









clause (ii) then due to such parties, and (iii) third, the balance, if any after all of the obligations hereunder have been paid in full, to the Loan Parties as otherwise required by applicable law.


(c)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (x) notify the applicable Administrative Agent of such fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and other amounts owing them; provided that:


(i)if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and


(ii)the provisions of this Section 2.18(c) shall not be construed to apply to (x)
any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.18(c) shall apply).


The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligations”, no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Loan Party shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Party, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Secured Obligations set forth in Section 4.02 of the Security Agreement and/or the similar provisions in the other Security Documents.


For purposes of subclause (b) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to Section 2.18(c) shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) and/or Loan(s) to which such participation relates.









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


(e)Any repayment or prepayment of the Loans shall not affect the Borrower’s or its
Subsidiary’s obligation to continue to make payments under any Secured Hedging Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such repayment or prepayment, subject to the terms of such Secured Hedging Agreement.


Section 2.19    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.


(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or requires the 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 2.17, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) 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 the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i)would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the 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 2.17 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.19(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.4), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such 








obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:









(i)the Borrower shall have paid to the applicable Administrative Agent the
assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.4;


(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.16) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);


(iii)in the case of any such   assignment   resulting   from   a   claim   for
compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments;


(iv)such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and


(v)in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.


A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the applicable Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.


Section 2.20    Facility Increases.


(a)The Borrower may, not more than once in any year, by notice to the applicable
Administrative Agent, request (i) that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments be increased by a minimum amount equal to $100,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000,000 in excess thereof (each a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) and/or (ii) one or more incremental term loan commitments (any such incremental term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) to make one or more additional Initial Term Loans (any such additional term loan, each an “Incremental Term Loan” and together with the Revolving Commitment Increases, a “Facility Increase”) in a minimum amount equal to $100,000,000 or an integral multiple in excess thereof, to be effective as of a date (the “Increase Date”) that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Revolving Maturity Date then in effect (in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase) or the Initial Term Maturity Date then in effect (in the case of an Incremental Term Loan) as specified in the related notice to the applicable Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such request or as of the applicable Increase Date, or shall occur as a result thereof and, provided, further, that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all such Facility Increases does not exceed $500,000,000.









(b)The applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a
request by the Borrower for a Facility Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Facility Increase and whether such Facility Increase constitutes a Revolving Commitment Increase or an Incremental Term Loan, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Facility Increase must provide their commitment thereto (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Facility Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall give written notice to the applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Commitment and/or provide an Incremental Term Loan, as applicable. If the Lenders notify the applicable Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Revolving Commitments or provide Incremental Term Loans by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Facility Increase, then the requested Facility Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent. The failure of any Lender to respond shall be deemed to be a refusal of such Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment and/or provide an Incremental Term Loan, as applicable.


(c)Promptly following each Commitment Date, the applicable Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Facility Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Facility Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Facility Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Persons reasonably acceptable to the applicable Administrative Agent (each, an “Eligible Assignee”) to participate in any portion of the requested Facility Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof.


(d)On each Increase Date, (x) each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to
participate in a requested Facility Increase in accordance with Section 2.20(c) (each such Eligible Assignee and each Eligible Assignee that agrees to an extension of the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.21(c), an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date, (y) the Revolving Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Revolving Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.20(b)) as of such Increase Date and (z) each Increasing Lender shall make, in accordance with Section 2.1(b), its Incremental Term Loan in an amount equal to its offered Incremental Term Loan Commitment (or the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.20(b)); provided, however, that the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated as of such date:


(i)(A) a certificate of the Borrower signed by an authorized officer of the
Borrower (1) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the executive committee of such Board approving the Facility Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement, and (2) certifying that, before 








and after giving effect to such increase, (x) the representations and warranties contained in









Article IV and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the Increase Date, assuming for purposes hereof that the references therein to the “Effective Date” shall be deemed to be to the “Increase Date” and except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.20, the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.4(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.1, and (y) no Default exists,
(B) a certificate of the Borrower signed by an authorized officer of the Borrower certifying that (and attaching calculations demonstrating that) the Borrower is in pro forma compliance with Section 6.9 (determined on a pro forma basis for the Measurement Period then most recently ended for which the applicable Administrative Agent has received the financial statements required by Section 6.1 or for which such financial statements were required to have been delivered, as if such Facility Increase and all Loans available thereunder had been made, and any related Indebtedness had been incurred, on the last day of such Measurement Period) and (C) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent;


(ii)a joinder agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and
substance satisfactory to such Assuming Lender, the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent (each a “Joinder Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and


(iii)confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of
its Revolving Commitment and/or its Incremental Term Loan Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent.


(e)On each Increase Date in respect of a Revolving Commitment Increase, upon
fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 2.20(d), in the event any Revolving Loans are then outstanding, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Assuming Lender shall make available to the Revolver Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Revolver Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to the applicable Revolving Commitment Increase and the application of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, the Revolving Loans to be held ratably by all Lenders as of such date in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (after giving effect to the Revolving Commitment Increase), (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans made to it as of such Commitment Date (with each such borrowing to consist of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2) and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.16 as a result of such prepayment.


(f)On each Increase Date on which any Incremental Term Loan Commitment








becomes effective, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2.20(d), each Increasing Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make, or be obligated to









make, an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its allocated commitment.


(g)All terms and conditions applicable to each Revolving Commitment increased
pursuant to a Facility Increase shall be identical to the terms and conditions applicable to the existing Revolving Commitments. All terms and conditions applicable to each Incremental Term Loan shall be identical to the terms and conditions applicable to the initial Initial Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be Initial Term Loans.


(h)Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents may be amended, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitments increased, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.20 and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20, and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the applicable Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendment.


(i)This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or 10.2 to the contrary


Section 2.21    Extension of Maturity Date.


(a)At least 45 days but not more than 60 days prior to any Anniversary Date, the
Borrower, by written notice to the applicable Administrative Agent, may request an extension of the Maturity Date in effect at such time with respect to any Class by one calendar year from its then scheduled expiration (each Class subject to such extension request, an “Affected Class”). The applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender of the Affected Class of such request, and each such Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than 30 days prior to such Anniversary Date, notify the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension for the Affected Class. If any relevant Lender of the Affected Class shall fail to notify the applicable Administrative Agent of the Affected Class and the Borrower in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the applicable Maturity Date for such Affected Class at least 30 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Declining Lender with respect to such request. The applicable Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower not later than 25 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date of the decision of the applicable Lenders regarding the Borrower’s request for an extension of the Maturity Date for such Affected Class.


(b)If all of the applicable Lenders of the Affected Class consent in writing to any
such request in accordance with Section 2.21(a), the applicable Maturity Date for such Affected Class in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable Anniversary Date (the “Extension Date”), be extended for one calendar year; provided that on each Extension Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower signed by an authorized officer of the Borrower certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified as to materiality or









Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the Extension Date, assuming for purposes hereof that the references therein to the “Effective Date” shall be deemed to be to the “Extension Date” and except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.21, the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.4(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.1, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default exists. If (x) in the case of an extension of the Revolving Maturity Date, the sum of the Revolving Commitments of the existing Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Revolving Maturity Date and the additional Revolving Commitments of assignees assumed in accordance with Section 2.21(c) shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to the existing Revolving Maturity Date, or (y) in the case of an extension of the Term Loan Maturity Date of such Affected Class, the sum of the Loans of the existing Lenders in the Affected Class that have agreed so to extend the applicable Maturity Date and the additional Loans of the Affected Class of assignees assumed in accordance with Section 2.21(c) shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Loans of such Affected Class outstanding immediately prior to the existing Term Loan Maturity Date of such Affected Class, then the applicable Maturity Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable Extension Date, be extended as to those Lenders of such Affected Class that so consented (each an “Extending Lender”) but shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each a “Declining Lender”). To the extent that the applicable Maturity Date is not extended as to any Lender of the Affected Class pursuant to this Section 2.21 and the Commitments or Loans of the Affected Class held by such Lender are not assigned in accordance with Section 2.21(c) on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Commitments of the Affected Class held by such Declining Lender shall automatically terminate in whole on such unextended Maturity Date of the Affected Class without any further notice or other action by the Borrower, such Lender or any other Person and any outstanding Loans of the Affected Class held by such Declining Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts due to such Declining Lender shall be paid in full on such unextended Maturity Date of the Affected Class; provided that such Declining Lender’s rights under Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 10.3 shall survive the Maturity Date of the Affected Class for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date.   It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for any requested extension of any Maturity Date. No Maturity Date may be extended in accordance with this Section 2.21 more than two times.


(c)If there are any Declining Lenders with respect to the Affected Class, the
Borrower may arrange for one or more Extending Lenders or Assuming Lenders, subject to the requirements of Section 10.4(b), to assume, effective as of the Extension Date, any Declining Lender’s Commitments and/or Loans of the Affected Class and all of the obligations of such Declining Lender under this Agreement thereafter arising with respect to the Affected Class, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Declining Lender; provided, however, that the amount of the Commitments and/or Loans, as applicable, of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less than $50,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the Affected Class held by such Declining Lender is less than
$50,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; and provided, further, that:









(i)any such Extending Lender or Assuming Lender shall have paid to such
Declining Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest accrued and unpaid to the effective date of the assignment on, the outstanding Loans of the Affected Class, if any, of such Declining Lender plus (B) any accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Declining Lender as of the effective date of such assignment;


(ii)all    additional    cost    reimbursements,    expense    reimbursements    and
indemnities payable to such Declining Lender, and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Declining Lender hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment shall have been paid to such Declining Lender; and


(iii)with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable processing and
recordation fee required under Section 10.4 for such assignment shall have been paid;


provided, further, that such Declining Lender’s rights under Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 10.3 shall survive such substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution. At least three Business Days prior to any Extension Date, (A) each such Assuming Lender, if any, shall have delivered to the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent (an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Declining Lender, the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent, (B) any such Extending Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitments and/or Loans of the Affected Class and (C) each Declining Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall have delivered to the applicable Administrative Agent any Note or Notes held by such Declining Lender. Upon the payment or prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding proviso, each such Extending Lender or Assuming Lender, as of the Extension Date, will be substituted for such Declining Lender under this Agreement and shall be a Lender of the Affected Class for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of each such Declining Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.


(d)If all of the Extending Lenders and Assuming Lenders (after giving effect to any
assignments and assumptions pursuant to Section 2.21(c)) consent in writing to a requested extension of the Affected Class (whether by written consent pursuant to Section 2.21(a), by execution and delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise) not later than one Business Day prior to such Extension Date, the applicable Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of such Extension Date, or shall occur as a consequence thereof, the Maturity Date of the Affected Class then in effect shall be extended for the additional one-year period as described in Section 2.21(a), and all references in this Agreement, and in the Notes, if any, to the “Maturity Date” or similar term with respect to the Affected Class shall, with respect to each Extending Lender and each Assuming Lender for such Extension Date, refer to the Maturity Date of the Affected Class as so extended. Promptly following each Extension Date, the applicable Administrative Agent shall 








notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the scheduled Maturity Date of the Affected Class in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon









record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each such Extending Lender and each such Assuming Lender.


(e)Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents may be amended, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Commitments or Loans as extended pursuant to this Section 2.21 and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21, and the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required Initial Term Loan Lenders and Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders hereby expressly authorize the applicable Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendment.


(f)This Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 10.2
to the contrary.


Section 2.22






Defaulting Lenders.


(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:


(i)Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required Initial Term Loan Lenders and Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, and in Section 10.2.


(ii)Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the
applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the applicable Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.8 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by such Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to such Administrative Agent hereunder; second, in the case of a Lender under the Revolving Facility, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, in the case of a Lender under the Revolving Facility, if so determined by the Revolver Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Swingline Loan or LC Disbursement, fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or LC Disbursement in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the applicable Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the applicable Administrative Agent and 








the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and LC









Disbursements under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.12 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).


(iii)All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC
Exposure shall automatically (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 10.17, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.


(iv)If the reallocation described in Section 2.22(a)(iii) cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure.


(b)If the Borrower, the applicable Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the
Swingline Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the applicable Administrative Agent will so notify









the parties under the applicable Facility, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), in the case of a Lender under the Revolving Facility, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Revolver Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iii)), 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 the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and 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.


(c)So long as any Lender under the Revolving Facility is a Defaulting Lender, the
Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan.


Section 2.23    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that
the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that 








rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.









Section 2.24    Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.[Reserved].


(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agents and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event that has been approved by the Administrative Agents (and, in the case of any amendment pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.24(a), the Borrower) will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after each Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as neither Administrative Agent has received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of any Class. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election that has been approved by the Administrative Agents (and, in the case of any amendment pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.24(a), the Borrower) will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class have delivered to the applicable Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.24 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.


(b)In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agents will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agents shall post any amendment implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.


(c)Each Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of
(i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by either Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.24, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.24.


(d) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any 








Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans.









During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of ABR based upon LIBOR will not be used in any determination of ABR.


ARTICLE III






Section 3.1

Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue Standby Letters of Credit or Commercial Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment for the account of the Borrower or, subject to Section 3.10, any Subsidiary thereof. Letters of Credit may be issued on any Business Day from the Effective Date to, but not including the fifteenth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the applicable Issuing Bank; provided, that no Issuing Bank shall issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the aggregate amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (iii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Revolving Lenders would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders; provided, further, that none of Goldman Sachs Bank USA or any of its Affiliates will be required to issue Letters of Credit (i) denominated in Indian Rupees or (ii) that are not Standby Letters of Credit. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Commitments.


(b)Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in  dollars or any Alternative
Currency, (ii) expire on a date no more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit (subject to automatic renewal or extension for additional one year periods (but not to a date later than the date set forth below, unless the relevant Issuing Bank has approved a later expiry date (which approval may be subject to such Letter of Credit being Cash Collateralized or otherwise backstopped pursuant to arrangements acceptable to such Issuing Bank)) pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Documents or other documentation acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), which date shall be no later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, and (iii) unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued by it (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), be subject to the UCP, in the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, or ISP98, in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit, as set forth in the Letter of Credit Documents or as determined by the applicable Issuing Bank and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York.   No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue (or amend) any Letter of Credit that is not a Standby Letter of Credit, unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank, or to issue (or amend) any Letter of Credit hereunder if (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any applicable law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over 








such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing









Bank with respect to letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Effective Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Bank as of the Effective Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, (B) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are not satisfied, (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, (D) the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (x) for the purpose of funding any activities of or business with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions or (y) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement or (E) any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iii)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Obligations as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. As of the Effective Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder.


(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Article
III shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.22.


Section 3.2    Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time
to time request that any Issuing Bank issue, amend, renew or extend a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Bank at its applicable office (with a copy to the Revolver Administrative Agent) a Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Bank, and such other certificates, documents and other Letter of Credit Documents and information as such Issuing Bank or the Revolver Administrative Agent may request, not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Revolver Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank may agree in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be. Such notice shall specify (a) the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), (b) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.1(b)), (c) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (e) the purpose and nature of such Letter of Credit and (f) such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank shall, if in its sole discretion it elects to do so, process such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other Letter of Credit Documents and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and 








Article V, promptly issue, amend, renew or extend the Letter of Credit requested thereby (subject to the timing requirements set forth in this Section 3.2) by issuing the original of such Letter of









Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolver Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, renewal or extension, including any Letter of Credit Documents, as the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolver Administrative Agent may require. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly furnish to the Borrower and the Revolver Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Documents and the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the issuance and upon request by any Revolving Lender, furnish to such Revolving Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation therein.


Section 3.3    Fees, Costs, Charges and Expenses.    In addition to the fees payable
pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and (b), the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Bank for such normal and customary fees, costs, charges and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by it. Such customary fees, costs, charges and expenses are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.


Section 3.4    L/C Participations.


(a)Each Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C
Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Applicable Percentage in each Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Bank thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for which such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Revolving Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank upon demand at such Issuing Bank’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.


(b)Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant
to any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, issued by it, such Issuing Bank shall notify the Revolver Administrative Agent of such unreimbursed amount and the Revolver Administrative Agent shall notify each L/C Participant (with a copy to the applicable Issuing Bank) of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent (which, in turn shall pay such Issuing Bank) the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to such Issuing Bank after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent, which in turn shall pay such Issuing Bank on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of








(i)such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate as determined by the Revolver Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is









due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of such Issuing Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to such Issuing Bank of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.4, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due
(A)prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and
(B)after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.


(c)Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter
of Credit issued by it and has received from any L/C Participant its Applicable Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4, such Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Revolver Administrative Agent or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Bank will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Bank, such L/C Participant shall return to the Revolver Administrative Agent, which shall in turn pay to such Issuing Bank, the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Bank to it.


(d)Each L/C Participant’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in
Section 3.4(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 3.4(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against any Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever,
i.the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article V, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Revolving Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.


Section 3.5    Reimbursement. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit,
the Borrower agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan as provided for in this Section 3.5 or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the applicable Issuing Bank by paying to the Revolver Administrative Agent the amount in dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such drawing not later than 12:00 noon on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such drawing, if such notice is received by the Borrower prior to 10:00 a.m., or
(ii)the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time, for the amount of (x) such draft so paid and (y) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3 incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Unless the Borrower shall immediately notify the Revolver Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank that the Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Bank for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Borrowing 








Request to the Revolver Administrative Agent requesting that the Revolving Lenders make a Revolving Loan as an ABR Loan on the applicable repayment date in the amount (without regard









to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.3(a)) of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3 incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with such payment, and the Revolving Lenders shall make a Revolving Loan as an ABR Loan in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of the related drawing and such fees and expenses. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Loan in accordance with this Section 3.5 to reimburse such Issuing Bank for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit issued by it is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article VI. If the Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse such Issuing Bank as provided above, or if the amount of such drawing is not fully refunded through an ABR Loan as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until paid in full.
Section 3.6    Obligations Absolute.


(a)The Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including the Reimbursement
Obligation) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and irrespective of:


(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of
Credit Document or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein;


(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that
the Borrower may have or have had against the applicable Issuing Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;


(iii)the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon,
even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent, forged or insufficient in any respect or any statement in such draft or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;


(iv)any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or


(b)any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 3.6, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.









(c)The Borrower also agrees that the applicable Issuing Bank and the L/C
Participants shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The applicable Issuing Bank, the L/C Participants and their respective Related Parties shall not have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.


(d)In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the
parties agree that (i) with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) an Issuing Bank may act upon any instruction or request relative to a Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit that such Issuing Bank in good faith believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction or request and
i.an Issuing Bank may replace a purportedly lost, stolen, or destroyed original Letter of Credit or missing amendment thereto with a certified true copy marked as such or waive a requirement for its presentation. The responsibility of any Issuing Bank to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment substantially conforms to the requirements under such Letter of Credit.


Section 3.7    Effect of Letter of Credit Documents. To the extent that any provision of
any Letter of Credit Document related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.









Section 3.8    Removal and Resignation of Issuing Banks.


(a)The Borrower may at any time remove any Lender from its role as an Issuing
Bank hereunder upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to such Issuing Bank and the Revolver Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to such Issuing Bank and the Revolver Administrative Agent).


(b)Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to the
Revolver Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase the outstanding Letter of Credit.


(c)Any removed or resigning Issuing Bank shall retain all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding as of the effective date of its removal or resignation as an Issuing Bank and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to take such actions as are required under Section 3.4). Without limiting the foregoing, upon the removal or resignation of a Lender as an Issuing Bank hereunder, the Borrower may, or at the request of such removed or resigned Issuing Bank the Borrower shall, use commercially reasonable efforts to, arrange for one or more of the other Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such removed or resigned Issuing Bank and outstanding at the time of such removal or resignation, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the removed or resigned Issuing Bank to effectively cause another Issuing Bank to assume the obligations of the removed or resigned Issuing Bank with respect to any such Letters of Credit.


Section 3.9    Reporting of Letter of Credit Information and L/C Commitment. At any
time that there is an Issuing Bank that is not also the financial institution acting as Revolver Administrative Agent, then (a) no later than the fifth Business Day following the last day of each calendar month, (b) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (c) on each date that a Letter of Credit is issued or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit is extended, and (d) upon the request of the Revolver Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank (or, in the case of clauses (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 3.9, the applicable Issuing Bank) shall deliver to the Revolver Administrative Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Revolver Administrative Agent information (including any reimbursement, Cash Collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank that is outstanding hereunder. In addition, each Issuing Bank shall provide notice to the Revolver Administrative Agent of its L/C Commitment, or any change thereto, promptly upon it becoming an Issuing Bank or making any change to its L/C Commitment. No failure on the part of any Issuing Bank to provide such information pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall limit the obligations of the Borrower or any 








Revolving Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations hereunder.









Section 3.10    Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of
Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (a) shall be obligated to reimburse, or to cause the applicable Subsidiary to reimburse, the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (b) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.


Section 3.11    Letter of Credit Amounts.    Unless otherwise specified, all references
herein to the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to mean the maximum face amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all increases thereof contemplated by such Letter of Credit or the Letter of Credit Documents therefor (at the time specified therefor in such applicable Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Documents and as such amount may be reduced by
(a)any permanent reduction of such Letter of Credit or (b) any amount which is drawn, reimbursed and no longer available under such Letter of Credit).


Section 3.12    Cash Collateralization.    If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from the Revolver Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50.0% of the aggregate LC Exposure of all Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Revolver Administrative Agent (such account, a “Cash Collateral Account”), in the name of the Revolver Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, an amount of cash in dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the portions of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 8.1. The Borrower also shall deposit Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(c). Each such deposit shall be held by the Revolver Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, if any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding (after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), then promptly upon the request of the Revolver Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Revolver Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such Defaulting Lender’s Fronting Exposure 








(after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). The Revolver Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of









withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Revolver Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Revolver Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure 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 more than 50.0% of the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Revolving Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or after the termination of Defaulting Lender status, as applicable. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(c) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), at the expense of the Loan Parties, that may be required under any applicable law or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, for the continued validity, 








perfection and priority of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances.

pursuant to an agreement which has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or assets of such Subsidiary, (d) any Restrictions with respect to any Subsidiary all or substantially all of whose assets are property encumbered by Liens permitted under Section 7.2, (e) Restrictions imposed by applicable laws, (f) Restrictions under licenses or other contracts governing intellectual property rights, joint venture agreements, leases of, or mortgages and other agreements relating to Liens on, specified property or assets limiting or prohibiting transfers of such property or assets (including, without limitation, non-assignment clauses, due-on-sale clauses and clauses prohibiting junior Liens, subletting, sublicensing or other similar transfers of property or assets), (g) any Restrictions under any agreement evidencing Indebtedness pursuant to Section 7.1 which Restrictions (taken as a whole) are either not materially more restrictive as those under this Agreement or are Restrictions similar to comparable transactions in the market at the time such Indebtedness is issued, (h) any Restrictions on assets that do not constitute Collateral, and (i) any Restrictions existing under any agreement (including in respect of Permitted Refinancing) that amends, refinances, supplements, restates, renews or replaces any agreement containing Restrictions permitted under the preceding clauses (a) through (h); provided that the terms and conditions of any such agreement, as they relate to any such Restrictions, are not materially more restrictive to the Borrower and such Subsidiary, as applicable, taken as a whole, than those under the agreement so amended, refinanced, supplemented, restated, renewed or replaced.


With respect to any Indebtedness and any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to be incurred at a given time, such Lien or such Indebtedness will also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness will mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.


The Dollar Equivalent amount of a Lien, Indebtedness, Investment or Restricted Payments denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Lien, Indebtedness, Investment or Restricted Payment was incurred, invested or paid.

quarter period of the Borrower there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) during the term of this Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times and (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenant and any amounts in excess thereof shall not be deemed to be a Cure Amount.

ARTICLE IX


THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT


Section 9.1    Appointment and Authority.    Each of the Revolving Lenders and  the
Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo to act on its behalf as the Revolver Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Revolver Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Revolver Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Initial Term Lenders and Delayed Draw Term Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan to act on its behalf as the Term Loan Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Term Loan Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Term Loan Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.   It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the 








Administrative Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a









matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. The Term Loan Administrative Agent shall also act as the “Collateral Agent” under the Security Documents and each of the Revolver Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Term Loan Administrative Agent to act as the agent of the Revolver Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank and such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties and entering into the Security Documents, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Term Loan Administrative Agent, as “Collateral Agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys in-fact appointed by the Term Loan Administrative Agent hereunder for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Term Loan Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.


Section 9.2    Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Revolver Administrative
Agent, Term Loan Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, as the case may be, shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.


Section 9.3    Exculpatory Provisions.


(a)No Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent:


(i)shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;


(ii)shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that no Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to 








any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a









forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and


(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.


(b)No Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2 or Article VIII) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. No Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until explicit notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by the Borrower, an Issuing Bank or a Lender.


(c)No Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with either Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agents and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of any Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agents or Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Administrative Agents or the Collateral Agent shall be liable for, or be responsible for any claim, liability, loss, cost or expenseLiabilities, costs or expenses suffered by the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Credit Exposure, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender or Issuing Bank, or any Exchange Rate or Dollar Equivalent.










Section 9.4    Reliance by the Administrative Agents. Each Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon,









any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.


Section 9.5    Delegation of Duties.    Each Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Administrative Agent. Each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the applicable Facilities as well as activities of the applicable Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.   Each Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any of its sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.


Section 9.6    Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agents.


(a)An Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of
its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, (i) with respect to the Revolver Administrative Agent, the Required Revolving Lenders and (ii) with respect to the Term Loan Administrative Agent, the Required Initial Term Loan Lenders and the Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the applicable Lenders in accordance with the preceding sentence and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Initial Term Loan Lenders and Required Delayed

Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each applicable Lender, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Initial Term Loan Lenders and the Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or 








omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.









(d)Any resignation by Wells Fargo as Revolver Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section 9.6 shall also constitute its resignation as Swingline Lender and an Issuing Bank. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Revolver Administrative Agent hereunder,
(i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank and (ii) the retiring Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.


Section 9.7    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender
and each Issuing Bank acknowledges thatrepresents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any Issuing Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any Issuing Bank or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.


Section 9.8    No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
none of the syndication agents, documentation agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.


Section 9.9    Guaranty and Collateral Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent, at their option and in their discretion to release
(i) any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Material Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (and the Administrative Agents and Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to them by the Borrower upon the reasonable request of either Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent without further inquiry) and (ii) any Lien (or subordinate such Lien) on any assets constituting Collateral (w) upon the grantor of such Lien (if other than the Borrower) 








ceasing to be a Guarantor, (x) upon the sale or other disposition of such assets as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (and the Administrative Agents and Collateral









Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to them by the Borrower upon the reasonable request of either Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent without further inquiry), (y) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.2 or (z) upon the payment in full of all Loan Document Obligations, termination or expiration of the Commitments of the Lenders to make any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit and termination or cash collateralization in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement of all Letters of Credit.

In each case as specified in this Section 9.9, the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty or such Liens on the Collateral, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.9.

Section 9.10    Withholding Tax.    To the extent required by law, the applicable
Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the applicable Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the applicable Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the applicable Administrative Agent (to the extent that the applicable Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Loan Parties pursuant to Section 2.17 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the applicable Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was 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 the applicable Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the applicable Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the applicable Administrative Agent under this Section 9.10. The agreements in this Section 9.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the applicable Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any 








Loan Document. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 9.10 the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender.









Section 9.11    Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Banks.    (a) Each Lender
hereby agrees that (x) if any Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that such Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from such Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to such Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to such Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by such Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to such Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by such Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of any Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.11 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.


(b)Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from any Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by such Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify such Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from such Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to such Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to such Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by such Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.


(c)The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the applicable Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Loan Document Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that is, comprised of funds of the Borrower or any 








Loan Party remitted to the applicable Administrative Agent in order to make payment on a Loan Document Obligation.











(d)Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of such Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Loan Document Obligations.

Section 10.2    Waivers; Amendments.


(a)No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing








Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or









discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.2(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.


(b)No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(i)extend or increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement (including any repayment pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b)), or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10.2(b), only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (A) to amend Section 2.13(c) or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the default rate set forth therein or (B) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement or to reduce any fee payable hereunder, (iv) change Section 2.18(b), 2.18(c), 8.3 or any other provision hereof or of the Security Agreement providing for the ratable treatment of the Lenders, in each case in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender, except to the extent such release is permitted hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (in which case such release may be made by the Administrative Agent acting alone), (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (but any change to the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” shall only require the written consent of each Lender with a Revolving Credit Exposure or Revolving Commitment at such time, any change to the definition of “Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders” shall only require the written consent of each Lender with an outstanding Delayed 








Draw Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Commitment at such time, any change to the definition of “Required Initial









Term Loan Lenders” shall only require the written consent of each Lender with an outstanding Initial Term Loan at such time and any change to the definition of “Required Term Loan Lenders” shall only require the written consent of each Lender with an outstanding Term Loan at such time), (vii) waive any condition set forth in Section 5.1 (other than Section 5.1(g)), or, in the case of any Loans (other than Delayed Draw Term Loans) made on the Effective Date, Section 5.2, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) waive any condition set forth in Section 5.3, without the written consent of the Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, (ix) (A) waive any condition set forth in Section 5.2 as to any Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing or (B) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision that directly affects the rights or duties of the Lenders under the Revolving Facility and does not directly affect the rights or duties of the Lenders under any other Facility, in each case, without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders or (x) amend, modify or waive this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, Section 4.02 of the Security Agreement and/or the similar provisions in the other Security Documents) so as to alter the ratable treatment of Secured Obligations arising under the Loan Documents and Secured Obligations arising under Swap Agreements or the definition of “Lender Counterparty”, “Secured Hedging Agreement”, “Secured Hedging Obligations” or “Secured Obligations” (as defined in this Agreement or any applicable Loan Document), in each case in a manner adverse to any Lender Counterparty without the written consent of any such Lender Counterparty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (ii) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that by its terms directly affects the rights or duties of the Lenders of a particular Class (but not the Lenders of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite number or percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 10.2(b) if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at such time, (iii) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (iv) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified (each in its sole discretion) an obvious error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the applicable Loan Parties shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following the posting of such amendment to the Lenders.

(ii)Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this Section 10.4(b)(ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

(B)the consent of the applicable Administrative Agent (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) the Revolving Facility or any unfunded Commitments with respect to any Term Loan Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (ii) any Term Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and


(C)the consent of the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank shall be
required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility.


(iv)The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the applicable
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.


(v)No such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its
subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a subsidiary thereof.


(vi)No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding
company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person).


(vii)In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the applicable Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all

with its Letter of Credit Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.


Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.4(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.4(d).


(c)Each Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent
of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the applicable Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and interest amounts) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the applicable Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the applicable Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (with respect to such Lender’s interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


(d)Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or
the applicable Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to 








it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of









such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.   For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.3(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).


Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.2(b) that requires the consent of all Lenders and affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.4(b); provided that such Participant (x) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.4(b); and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.16, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.8 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though 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 interest amounts) 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, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, neither of the Administrative Agents (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.


(e)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or to any other central 








bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release









such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


(f)Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to the Affiliated Lenders, subject to the following limitations:


(i)Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders
by the Administrative Agents or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agents, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this clause (i) will not apply to the Affiliated Debt Funds;


(ii)for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan
Document (including such modifications pursuant to Section 10.2), or, subject to clause
(y) of Section 10.2(b), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter; and each Affiliated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so  voted,  then  such  vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided that Affiliated Debt Funds will not be subject to such voting limitations and will be entitled to vote as any other Lender;


(iii)the aggregate principal amount of Loans purchased by assignment
pursuant to this Section 10.4 and held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) may not exceed 30% of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans calculated at the time such Loans are purchased (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;


(iv)Affiliated Lenders may not purchase   Revolving   Commitments   or
Revolving Loans; and


(v)the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s
Loans shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender 








Assignment and Assumption”); provided that each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10









Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender.


Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.2 or the definitions of “Required Lenders”, “Required Initial Term Loan Lenders” or “Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, the Required Initial Term Loan Lenders or the Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required any Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, the aggregate amount of Loans held by any Affiliated Debt Funds shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, the Required Initial Term Loan Lenders or the Required Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, have taken any actions.


Each Affiliated Lender by its acquisition of any Loans outstanding hereunder will be deemed to have waived any right it may otherwise have had to bring any action in connection with such Loans against any Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, and will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that no Administrative Agent shall have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.


Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the applicable Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in such Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless such Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as such Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of such Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Loans held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.


(g)Assignments of Term Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be permitted
through “Dutch auctions”, so long as any offer to purchase or take by assignment by such Purchasing Borrower Party shall have been made to all Term Lenders, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Term Loans purchased are immediately cancelled 








and (iii) no proceeds from any loan under the Revolving Facility shall be used to fund such assignments. Purchasing Borrower Parties may not purchase Revolving Loans. The









Administrative Agents agree to provide reasonable assistance to the Borrower in connection with any such “Dutch auctions”.


(h)Upon any contribution of Loans to a Borrower or any Subsidiary and upon any
purchase of Loans by a Purchasing Borrower Party, (i) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Loans shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the date of such contribution or purchase (and, if requested by the applicable Administrative Agent, with respect to a contribution of Loans, any applicable contributing Lender shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the applicable Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in such Loans to the Borrower for immediate cancellation) and (ii) the applicable Administrative Agent shall record such cancellation or retirement in the Register.


Section 10.5    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made
by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments, the resignation of any Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, the replacement of any Lender, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Revolver Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 3.4 or Section 3.5.


Section 10.6    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.    This   Agreement   may be








executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken  together shall constitute a single









contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agents and Collateral Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agents and when the Administrative Agents shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement or any other Loan Document by facsimile or other electronic imaging, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.1), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof or thereof.of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require any Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent any Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, such Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (ii) upon the request of any Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower and each Loan Party hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agents, the Lenders the Borrower and the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) each Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waives any









argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from any Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrower and/or any Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.


Section 10.7    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.7, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agents or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.


Section 10.8    Right of Setoff.    If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party then due and owing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or Issuing Bank or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the applicable Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of such Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders, and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the applicable Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.8 are in addition to other rights and remedies 








(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the applicable Administrative Agent promptly









after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, or to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and only use such Information in connection with the Facilities), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations,

In addition, each of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to any of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Borrowings hereunder. For the purposes of this Section 10.12, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective businesses (including projections), other than any such information that is available to any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.12 shall be considered 








to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 10.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.


(c)ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND
AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR ITS SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

each Transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agents, the Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agents, the Arrangers, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Syndication
