RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and collateral agent, are party to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2021 (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of October 31, 2022 and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, modified, extended, replaced, or supplemented from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”; the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested certain amendments be made to the Credit Agreement, including, among other things, certain relief from its financial maintenance covenants;
WHEREAS, certain loans, commitments and/or other extensions of credit (the “Loans”) under the Credit Agreement denominated in US Dollars (the “Affected Currency”) incur or are permitted to incur interest, fees or other amounts based on the London Interbank Offered Rate as administered by the ICE Benchmark Administration (“LIBOR”) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have elected to trigger an Early Opt-In Election with respect to the Affected Currency and pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement that LIBOR for the Affected Currency should be replaced with the applicable Benchmark Replacement for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and any Loan Document and such changes shall become effective on the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 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 (such time, the “Objection Deadline”), written notice of objection to such applicable Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.17(d) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent has determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement that LIBOR for the Affected Currency should be replaced with an alternate rate of interest in accordance with the Credit Agreement and, in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent has determined that certain Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable and such changes shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; and
WHEREAS, the Lenders party hereto (which, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute the Required Lenders under the Credit Agreement) are willing to (i) amend the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 thereof on the terms and conditions set forth herein and (ii) agree to the Benchmark Replacement set forth herein (and for the avoidance of doubt, waive the right to object to the selected Benchmark Replacement set forth herein by the Objection Deadline);
    






NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.     Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided to such terms in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Second Amendment.
2.    Amendments.  (a) The Credit Agreement (including the applicable Exhibits thereto) is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the pages attached as Exhibit A hereto.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth herein or in the Amended Credit Agreement, until the expiration of the existing Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) applicable thereto, on the Second Amendment Effective Date, each Term Benchmark Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement) denominated in US Dollars outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date (i) shall remain outstanding as such and accrue interest, which shall be due and payable, in each case in accordance with the LIBOR-related provisions and all other provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to such existing Term Benchmark Loan (without giving effect to any of the amendments contemplated in the Amended Credit Agreement attached hereto) and (ii) if still outstanding on the date of the expiration of such Interest Period, shall be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan based on Adjusted Term SOFR or an ABR Loan in accordance with Section 2.13 of the Amended Credit Agreement.  From and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, each existing Term Benchmark Loan denominated in US Dollars may be converted to a Term Benchmark Loan based on Adjusted Term SOFR or an ABR Loan in accordance with Section 2.13 of the Amended Credit Agreement as if such existing Term Benchmark Loan were a Term Benchmark Loan based on Adjusted Term SOFR.
3.    Conditions Precedent. This effectiveness of this Second Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions (the date of the satisfaction of all such conditions, the “Second Amendment Effective Date”):
(a)     The Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received a counterpart of this Second Amendment signed on behalf of each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders constituting the Required Lenders.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of each of the Borrowers, dated as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit L to the Credit Agreement, with appropriate insertions and attachments.
(c)    Each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or “material adverse effect”), in each case on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or “material adverse effect”) as of such earlier date.
(d)    No Default or Event of Default has occurred and be continuing on the Second Amendment Effective Date or after giving effect to the transactions set forth in this Second Amendment.
(e)    The Administrative Agent shall have received all (i) fees required to be paid on the Second Amendment Effective Date pursuant to a separately agreed fee letter and (ii) all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, in connection herewith, required to be paid or reimbursed under Section 10.5 of the Amended Credit Agreement (including attorney’s fees).

2






(a)    this Second Amendment has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Borrower that is a party hereto. This Second Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower, enforceable against each such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law) and the implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing; and


(b)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Second Amendment by the Borrowers party hereto will not (x) violate the Organic Documents of (i) the Borrowers or (ii) except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, any other Loan Party, (y) except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, violate any Requirement of Law binding on the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Contractual Obligation of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (z) except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement).


(c)    No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.


6.     Reaffirmation; Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents.


(a)    From and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “hereunder,” “hereof,” “this Agreement” or words of like import and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “Credit Agreement,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment. This Second Amendment is a Loan Document.
(b)    The Loan Documents, and the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms.  
(c)    Each Borrower (i) acknowledges and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment, (ii) affirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents,  (iii) agrees that this Second Amendment and all documents executed in connection herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge its obligations under the Loan Documents, (iv) agrees that the Security Documents continue to be in full force and effect and are not impaired or adversely affected in any manner whatsoever, (v) confirms its grant of security interests pursuant to the Security Documents to which it is a party as Collateral for the Obligations, and (vi) acknowledges that all Liens granted (or purported to be granted) pursuant to the Security Documents remain and continue in full force and effect in respect of, and to secure, the Obligations.  
(d)    The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Second Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. 
(e)    In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Second Amendment and the terms of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the terms hereof shall control.
7.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc.  


(a)    This Second Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Second Amendment shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws to the extent that the same are not mandatorily applicable by statute and the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.


3






(b)    EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.12 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AS IF SUCH SECTIONS WERE SET FORTH IN FULL HEREIN.
8.    Amendments; Headings; Severability. This Second Amendment may not be amended nor may any provision hereof be waived except pursuant to a writing signed by the Borrowers, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent.  The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Second Amendment and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Second Amendment.  Any provision of this Second Amendment 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.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.


9.     Execution in Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Second Amendment by telecopy, emailed pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Second Amendment.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any  document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, 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, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.


10.     Notices.  All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.

(e)    for purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.4 or pro forma calculation of the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio, (ii) determining the accuracy of representation and warranties in all material respects, (iii) determining whether a Default or an Event of Default (other than a Specified Event of Default) exists or (iv) testing baskets set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA), in each case, solely for purposes of determining whether the incurrence of Indebtedness (other than the incurrence of any Loan or Letter of Credit under the Revolving Facility but including the incurrence of Loans under a Revolving Commitment Increase) or Liens, or the making of Investments, Restricted Payments, fundamental changes under Section 7.8 or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case necessary or advisable (as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith) for the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for purposes of determining quarterly compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.4), the date of determination shall, at the option of the Parent Borrower, be the time the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (or, if applicable, (i) the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice or declaration of such Limited Condition Acquisition or (ii) at the time of the completion of such transaction or the making of such repurchase or repayment) after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period, and, for the avoidance of doubt, if any of such baskets or ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Parent Borrower or the Person subject to 


									
		60
	










such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken; provided that if the Parent Borrower has made such an election, in connection with the calculation of any basket or ratio availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Investments, Restricted Payments, Dispositions, fundamental changes under Section 7.8 or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (excluding the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.4) on or following the date of such election and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition (or, if applicable, the notice or declaration of such Limited Condition Acquisition) is terminated, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisitions and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated, except to the extent that such calculation would result in a lower Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio or a higher Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio or larger basket, as applicable, than would apply if such calculation was made without giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio, as applicable, for purposes of (i) determining the Applicable Margin, (ii) determining the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and (iii) determining actual compliance (and not pro forma compliance or compliance on a pro forma basis) with the covenants pursuant to Section 7.4, any pro forma event of the type set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 1.3 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect; and
(f)    if the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs Indebtedness under a ratio-based basket or exception, such ratio-based basket or exception (together with any other ratio-based basket or exception utilized in connection therewith, including in respect of other Indebtedness, Liens, asset sales, Investments, Restricted Payments or prepayments of subordinated Indebtedness) will be calculated excluding the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness for netting purposes (i.e., such cash proceeds shall not reduce the Parent Borrower’s Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of each such term), provided that the actual application of such proceeds may reduce Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with any applicable ratio.
1.4    Additional Alternative Currencies.  (a) The Borrowers may from time to time request that Term Benchmark Loans be made under the Revolving Facility and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency;” provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than US Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars.  In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Term Benchmark Loans under the Revolving Facility, such request shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders; which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but shall be subject to each Revolving Lender’s then-existing capability to offer such currency generally to its corporate borrowers, and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders.
(b)    Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., fourteen Business Days prior to the date of the desired borrowing of Revolving Loans or issuance of a Letter of Credit (as described in the foregoing clause (a)) (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Issuing Lender, in its or their sole discretion).  In the case of any such request pertaining to such Term Benchmark Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to such Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Lender thereof.  Each Revolving Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Term Benchmark Loans) or the Issuing Lender (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents to the making of Term Benchmark Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.


									
		61
	










(c)    Any failure by a Revolving Lender or an Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the last sentence of Section 1.4(b) shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to permit Term Benchmark Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency.  If the Administrative Agent and all the Revolving Lenders consent to making Term Benchmark Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any borrowings of Term Benchmark Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by the Issuing Lender.  If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.4, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower.  Any specified currency of an Existing Letter of Credit that is neither US Dollars nor one of the Alternative Currencies specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency” shall be deemed an Alternative Currency with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit only.
1.5    Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.  (a) The Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Borrowings or Letter of Credit extensions denominated in Alternative Currencies.  Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur.  Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Parent Borrower hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any Alternative Currency for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable.
(b)    Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a borrowing of Revolving Loans, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Term Benchmark Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in US Dollars, but such Revolving Loan, Term Benchmark Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such US Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the relevant Issuing Lender, as the case may be.
1.6    Accounting Terms and Determination.  Unless otherwise defined or specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time, applied on a basis consistent with the most recent audited consolidated financial statement of the Parent Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a); provided that if the Parent Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Parent Borrower wishes to amend any covenant in Section 7 to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend Section 7 for such purpose), then the Parent Borrower’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Required Lenders.  All calculations of (a) the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage or the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio, (b) the Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio, (c) Consolidated EBITDA, (d) Consolidated Net Interest Expense and (e) each financial calculation included within or required to be made in connection with any such terms shall be made on a pro forma basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.
1.7    Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of the 


									
		62
	










Application or any other document, agreement or instrument entered into by the applicable Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower with respect thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
1.8    Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on a Loan denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change.  The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (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 LIBOR.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 2.17(b) and (c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.17(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Term Benchmark Loans is based.  However, the 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 LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” (or “EURIBOR Rate” or “AUD Rate” as applicable) 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 2.17(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 2.17(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate (or the EURIBOR Rate or AUD Rate as applicable) or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate or the Tokyo interbank offered rate, as applicable) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Term Benchmark Rate, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
1.8    [Reserved].

1.9    Application of Multiple Relevant Provisions.  With respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of the Loan Documents under a specific covenant that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including a test based on the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and/or the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with or otherwise in the same transaction or series of related transactions with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of the Loan Documents under the same covenant that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and/or the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that (a) the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence within the same covenant (it being understood that any Fixed Amount available under any covenant that is reallocated or otherwise utilized under a different covenant shall, for the avoidance of doubt, also constitute a Fixed Amount under such different covenant to which the Fixed Amount was reallocated to or utilized under), and (b) except as provided in clause (a), pro forma effect shall be given to the entire transaction.  In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, any Indebtedness (and associated Liens, subject to the applicable priorities required pursuant to the applicable Incurrence-Based Amounts), Investments, Restricted Payments, liquidations, dissolutions, mergers, consolidations (or, in each case, any portion thereof) incurred or otherwise effected in reliance on Fixed Amounts shall be automatically and immediately reclassified at any time, unless the Parent Borrower otherwise elects from time to time, as incurred under the applicable Incurrence-Based Amounts if the Parent Borrower subsequently meets the applicable ratio for such Incurrence-Based Amounts on a pro forma basis (or would have met such ratio or test at the time such Fixed Amount was utilized).
1.10    Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.
SECTION 2.    AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS
2.1    Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (an “Initial Term Loan”) in US Dollars to the Parent Borrower on the Closing Date (either by deeming New Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to be outstanding hereunder as Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 below or by the making of new Initial Term Loans hereunder) in an amount which will not exceed the amount of the Term Commitment of such Lender. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be the stated principal amount thereof outstanding from time to time. The Term Loans may from time to time be Term Benchmark Loans or ABR Loans (or RFR Loans in accordance with Section 2.17), as determined by the Parent Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.13.
2.2    Procedure for Initial Term Loan Borrowing. The Parent Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent one Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date) requesting that the Term Lenders make the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed and the requested Interest Period, if applicable. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender thereof. Not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Closing Date each Term Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Initial Term Loan or Initial Term Loans to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account designated in writing by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Term Lenders in immediately available funds. On the Closing Date, any New Term A Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of Term Lenders that are outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed drawn as Initial Term Loans hereunder.


									
		64
	










2.3    Repayment of Term Loans.  The Initial Term Loan of each Term Lender shall be payable in equal consecutive quarterly installments on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December following the Closing Date, commencing on the last Business Day of March, 2022, in an amount equal to the Applicable Amortization Percentage of the stated principal amount of the Initial Term Loans funded on the Closing Date (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.18(b), and/or be increased as a result of any increase in the amount of Initial Term Loans pursuant to Supplemental Term Loan Commitments (such increased amortization payments to be calculated in the same manner (and on the same basis) as the amortization payments for the Initial Term Loans outstanding as of the Closing Date)), with the remaining balance thereof payable on the Term Maturity Date.
2.4    Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments and Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) in US Dollars to the Parent Borrower, in Euros to the Lux Borrower or in one or more Alternative Currencies to the Revolving Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding and such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  On each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Parent Borrower shall first repay all of its Swing Line Loans then outstanding with the proceeds of any such Borrowing.  During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Revolving Borrowers may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Subject to Section 2.17, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised (a) in the case of Borrowings in US Dollars, entirely of ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans (or RFR Loans in accordance with Section 2.17) as determined by the Parent Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.13 and (b) in the case of Borrowings in any other Alternative Currency, entirely of Term Benchmark Loans, in each case of the same Alternative Currency, as the applicable Revolving Borrower may request in accordance herewith.  Each Swing Line Loan shall be an ABR Loan.  Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, on the Closing Date, the Revolving Loan Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be terminated and replaced by the Revolving Commitments hereunder and any Revolving Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) drawn under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed drawn as Revolving Loans hereunder.
(b)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Australian Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Australian Tranche Revolving Loans”) in Australian Dollars to the Australian Borrower and in US Dollars to the Parent Borrower during the Revolving Commitment Period which in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding does not exceed the amount of such Australian Lender’s Australian Tranche Revolving Commitment.  During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Australian Borrower and/or Parent Borrower may use the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Australian Tranche Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Subject to Section 2.17, each Australian Tranche Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised of (a) in the case of Borrowings in US Dollars, entirely of ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans (or RFR Loans in accordance with Section 2.17) as determined by the Parent Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.13 and (b) in the case of Borrowings in Australian Dollars, entirely of Term Benchmark Loans.  Each Australian Lender at its option may make any Australian Tranche Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Australian Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Australian Borrower or Parent Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, on the Closing Date, any Loans (as defined in the Australian Facilities Agreements) drawn under the Australian Facilities Agreements shall be deemed drawn as Australian Tranche Revolving Loans hereunder.


									
		65
	










(c)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.3, each Euro Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Euro Tranche Revolving Loans”) in Euros to the Euro Borrower and in U.S. Dollars to the Parent Borrower during the Revolving Commitment Period which in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding does not exceed the amount of such Euro Lender’s Euro Tranche Revolving Commitment.  During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Euro Borrower and Parent Borrower may use the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Euro Tranche Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Subject to Section 2.17, each Euro Tranche Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised of (a) in the case of Borrowings in US Dollars, entirely of ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans (or RFR Loans in accordance with Section 2.17) as determined by the Parent Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.13 and (b) in the case of Borrowings in Euros, entirely of Term Benchmark Loans.  Each Euro Lender at its option may make any Euro Tranche Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay such Euro Tranche Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  
(d)    The Borrowers shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans and Euro Tranche Revolving Loans made to it on the Revolving Termination Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Parent Borrower shall be prohibited from Borrowing under the Euro Tranche Facility and Australian Tranche Facility while Revolving Availability exceeds zero.
2.5    Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing, Australian Tranche Revolving Loan Borrowing and Euro Tranche Revolving Loans Borrowing. The Borrowers may borrow under the Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments, as applicable, during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that the applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, the Primary Australian Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent) irrevocable written notice pursuant to a Borrowing Notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable)) (i) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in US Dollars, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, (ii) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Euros, not later than 12:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (iii) in the case of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date, (iv) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Australian Dollars, prior to 12:00 Noon, Sydney time, four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date and, (v) in the case of an RFR Borrowing (in accordance with Section 2.17), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, and (vi) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Euros or Australian Dollars), prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date specifying (x) the Facility, amount, currency and Type of Loans to be borrowed, (y) the requested Borrowing Date and (z) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing by the Borrowers under the Revolving Commitments, Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments or Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $50,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then-aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $50,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, (or RFR Loans in accordance with Section 2.17), $100,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof, as applicable) or a whole multiple of $100,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof, as applicable) in excess thereof.  Upon receipt of any such notice from the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender, Euro Lender or Australian Lender, as applicable thereof. Each applicable Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower at the Funding Office by 12:00 noon, New York City time (or (i) with respect to the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, Sydney time and (ii) with respect to the Euro Tranche Revolving Facility, London time), to the account of the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the 


									
		66
	










Lenders; provided that Swing Line Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.6.  Such borrowing will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) crediting the account designated in writing by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) by such Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable). If no election as to the Type of a Loan denominated in US Dollars is specified, then the requested Loan shall be an ABR Loan. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  If the applicable Revolving Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Borrowing Notice with respect to a Term Benchmark Loan, then the Term Benchmark Loan so requested shall be made in US Dollars.
2.6    Swing Line Loans.
(a)    Swing Line Facility.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.6, agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Parent Borrower in US Dollars from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) until and excluding the Business Day preceding the Revolving Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans held by the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender then outstanding and such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate amount of Available Revolving Commitments shall not less than zero, (ii) the Available Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender shall not be less than zero; and provided, further, that the Parent Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan and (iii) so long as there is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans where the sum of the Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of the outstanding Revolving Loans, their participations in Swing Line Loans and their participations in Letters of Credit after giving effect to any such requested Swing Line Loan would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.6, prepay under Section 2.11, and reborrow under this Section 2.6.  Each Swing Line Loan shall be an ABR Loan and may not be converted to a Term Benchmark Loan (or RFR Loans in accordance with Section 2.17).  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b)    Borrowing Procedures.  Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal amount of $50,000, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (iii) the account of the Parent Borrower to be credited with the proceeds of such Borrowing.  Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower.  Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the proposed Swing Line Loan (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.6(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the 


									
		67
	










terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Parent Borrower.  
(c)    Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i)    The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Parent Borrower (and the Parent Borrower hereby irrevocably requests and authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.5, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Notice) and subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Commitments.  The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Parent Borrower with a copy of the applicable Borrowing Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the amount specified in such Borrowing Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply cash collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office (and in any event, if such Borrowing Notice is received by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day and if received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day shall mean no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the immediately succeeding Business Day), whereupon, subject to Section 2.6(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(ii)    If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(c)(i) (including as a result of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), the request for ABR Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation; provided, that (i) all interest payable on the Swing Line Loans is for the account of Swing Line Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is purchased and (ii) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall pay the Swing Line Lender interest on the principal amount of such participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the borrowing of the Swing Line Loan occurs under this Agreement to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the applicable rate received by the Swing Line Lender.
(iii)    If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(c) by the time specified in Section 2.6(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or 


									
		68
	










similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)    Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) (but not to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.  No such purchase or funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)    Repayment of Participations.
(i)    At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Revolving Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii)    If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.21 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)    Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Parent Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.6 to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Revolving Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f)    Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The Parent Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
2.7    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, 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), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion 


									
		69
	










of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the Revolving Facility (without giving effect to Section 3.4(d)), 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 Borrowers 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.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest or other amounts (other than the payment of (i) commitment fees under Section 2.9, (ii) default interest under Section 2.15(de) and (iii) Letter of Credit fees under Section 3.3 received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender (without duplication of the application of any cash collateral provided by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.4(d)) to the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to be held as security for any L/C Shortfall (without duplication of any cash collateral provided by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.4(d)) in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent; fourth, as the Parent Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers 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 (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans, Swing Line Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans or Swing Line Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, L/C Disbursements owed to such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 3.4(d). 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 or to be held as security in a cash collateral account pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender and shall satisfy the Borrowers’ payment obligation in respect thereof in full, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
2.8    Repayment of Loans.
(a)    The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) for the account of the Swing Line Lender, the appropriate Revolving Lender, Term Lender, Australian Lender or Euro Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then-unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender made to the Revolving Borrowers outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1), (ii) the principal amount of each outstanding Term Loan of such Term Lender made to the Parent Borrower in installments according to the applicable amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.3 (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1), (iii) the then-unpaid principal amount of each Australian Tranche 


									
		70
	










Revolving Loan of such Australian Lender made to the Australian Borrower or Parent Borrower outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1), (iv) the then-unpaid principal amount of each Euro Tranche Revolving Loan of such Euro Lender made to the Euro Borrower or Parent Borrower outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1) and (v) the then-unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan of the Swing Line Lender made to the Parent Borrower outstanding on the earlier of (x) Revolving Termination Date and (y) a date that is no more than seven Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Parent Borrower shall repay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding (or, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1). The Borrowers hereby further agree to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to the Borrowers from time to time outstanding from the date made until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.
(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c)    The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(iv), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal, interest and fees, as applicable, due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent (or Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d)    The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be presumptively correct absent demonstrable error of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2.9    Commitment Fees, etc.
(a)    The Revolving Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, in US Dollars, for the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment (but excluding from such calculation any Swing Line Loans) of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date; provided that (i) any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Revolving Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Revolving Borrowers prior to such time and (ii) no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
(b)    The Australian Borrower agrees to pay to the Primary Australian Lender (with notice to the Administrative Agent of the same) for the account of each Australian Lender a commitment fee, in Australian Dollars, for the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the Available Australian Tranche Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date; provided that (i) any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Australian Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a 


									
		71
	










Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Australian Borrower prior to such time and (ii) no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    The Euro Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Euro Lender a commitment fee, in Euros, for the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the Available Euro Tranche Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date; provided that (i) any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Euro Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Euro Borrower prior to such time and (ii) no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
(d)    The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent.
For the avoidance of doubt fees paid under Sections 2.09(b) and (c) shall not be duplicative of those paid pursuant to Section 2.09(a).
2.10    Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments and Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments.
(a)    The Revolving Borrowers shall have the right, upon not less than two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, from time to time, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments (but shall not be applied to the Swing Line Sublimit except as specified by the Parent Borrower or except as specified in the last sentence of this paragraph (a)); provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the total Revolving Commitments. Any such partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Revolving Borrowers may rescind any notice of termination under this Section 2.10 if the notice of such termination stated that such notice was conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a transaction or the receipt of a replacement of all, or a portion, of the Revolving Commitments outstanding at such time, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Revolving Borrowers (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any such reduction in the Revolving Commitments below the sum of the principal amount of the Swing Line Sublimit shall result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the Swing Line Sublimit.
(b)    Upon the incurrence by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Permitted Refinancing Obligations in respect of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, the Revolving Commitments designated by the Revolving Borrowers to be terminated in connection therewith shall be automatically permanently reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of commitments under such Permitted Refinancing Obligations and any outstanding Revolving Loans in respect of such terminated Revolving Commitments shall be repaid in full.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower may rescind any notice of termination under this Section 2.10 if the notice of such termination stated that such notice was conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a transaction or the receipt of a replacement of all, or a portion, of the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments outstanding at such time, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied.  
(d)    Upon the incurrence by the Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of any Permitted Refinancing Obligations in respect of Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Australian Tranche Revolving Loans, the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments designated by the Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower to be terminated in connection therewith shall be automatically permanently reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of commitments under such Permitted Refinancing Obligations and any outstanding Australian Tranche Revolving Loans in respect of such terminated Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be repaid in full.

Any such partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to the Euro equivalent of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of the Euro equivalent of $500,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments then in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Euro Borrower and Parent Borrower may rescind any notice of termination under this Section 2.10 if the notice of such termination stated that such notice was conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a transaction or the receipt of a replacement of all, or a portion, of the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments outstanding at such time, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Euro Borrower and Parent Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any transaction or the receipt of proceeds to be used for such payment, in each case specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the applicable Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent (and Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied), together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans, Euro Tranche Revolving Loans and of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of (i) $50,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (in the case of prepayments of ABR Loans) or (ii) $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (in the case of prepayments of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans (in accordance with Section 2.17)) (or the Alternative Currency equivalents thereof), and in each case shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18.
(b)    The Parent Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000 (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding).  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Parent Borrower, the Parent Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  
(c)    In connection with any optional prepayments by the Parent Borrower of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11, such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then-outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or, Term Benchmark Loans (or RFR Loans in accordance with Section 2.17).
2.12    Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)    Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2, other than Permitted Refinancing Obligations in respect of Term Loans) shall be incurred by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied not later than one Business Day after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d).
(b)    Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall for its own account receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in respect thereof, an amount equal to the Applicable Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied not later than 10 Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Term Loans shall be prepaid as set forth in Section 2.12(d) by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event and (ii) on the date (the “Trigger Date”) that is six months after any such Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Term Loans shall be prepaid as set forth in Section 2.12(d) by an amount equal to the Applicable Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of the portion of any Committed Reinvestment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event not actually expended by such Trigger Date.
(c)    [Reserved].
(d)    Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.18(b) until paid in full. In connection with any mandatory prepayments by the Parent Borrower of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12, such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then-

(f)    If, on any date, the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments (including as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations on any Revaluation Date in accordance with Section 1.4), the applicable Borrower shall promptly prepay Revolving Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans, Euro Tranche Revolving Loans and/or Swing Line Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess and/or pay to the Administrative Agent an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the aggregate principal amount equal to such excess to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.
(g)    If, on any date, the aggregate Australian Tranche Revolving Loans  would exceed the aggregate Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments, the Australian Borrower and Parent Borrower shall promptly prepay Australian Tranche Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess.
(h)    If, on any date, the aggregate Euro Tranche Revolving Loans would exceed the aggregate Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments, the Euro Borrower and Parent Borrower shall promptly prepay Euro Tranche  Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess.

adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.

(b)    Any Term Benchmark Loan (or RFR Loans in accordance with Section 2.17) may be continued as such by the applicable Borrower giving irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, the Primary Australian Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent), in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day (and, with respect to RFR Loans, the fifth Business Day) preceding the proposed continuation date, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that if any Term Benchmark Loan is so continued on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21; provided, further, that no Term Benchmark Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations and unless repaid, (i) each Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing denominated in US Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) each Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Margin for CBR Loans; provided that, if the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, the Primary Australian Lender in consultation with the Administrative Agent) determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency other than Dollars shall either be (A) converted to an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) at the end of the Interest Period, as applicable, therefor or (B) prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period, as applicable, in full; provided that if no election is made by the applicable Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above; provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Required Revolving Lenders may demand that any or all of the then-outstanding Term Benchmark Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be redenominated into US Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto. If the applicable Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph such Term Benchmark Loans shall be automatically continued as Term Benchmark Loans in their original currency having an Interest Period of one month’s duration on the last day of such then-expiring Interest Period and if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Term Benchmark Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then

(c)    Except as expressly otherwise provided herein (including as expressly provided in Sections 2.7, 2.10(b), 2.15(ce), 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 2.22, 2.24, 2.26, 10.5 and 10.7), each payment (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans and Euro Tranche Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans or Euro Tranche Revolving Loans, as applicable, then held by the Revolving Lenders, Australian Lenders or Eur Tranche Lenders, as applicable, other than payments in respect of any differences in the Applicable Margin of Extending Lenders pursuant to an Extension Amendment or Lenders in respect of New Revolving Loans, New Australian Tranche Revolving Loans and New Euro Tranche Revolving Loans. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit.  Except with respect to principal of and interest on Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans or Euro Tranche Revolving Loans, the applicable Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Same Day Funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off or counterclaim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments by a Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)), for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the payment office applicable to the respective currency in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)) on the date when due, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the 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 Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)) at the payment office (applicable to the respective currency), except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 and 10.5 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the 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 


									
		82
	










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 made payable for the period of such extension.  Except as otherwise provided herein and any payments of fees interest and principal in respect of borrowings in an Alternative Currency (in which case, such payments shall be made in such currency), all payments hereunder shall be made in US Dollars.  If, for any reason, a Borrower is prohibited by any applicable law, regulation or ruling by a Governmental Authority from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in US Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount.
(d)    All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)), for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Funding Office, in immediately available funds. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) after 2:00 P.M., New York City time may be considered received on the next Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s  sole discretion. The Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)) shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Term Benchmark Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Term Benchmark Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then-applicable rate during such extension.
(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable (with notice to the Administrative Agent)) shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable), the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable), and the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) (by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable). A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of such fact to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the applicable Borrower. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Borrower against any Defaulting Lender.
(f)    Unless the Administrative Agent (and, if with respect to the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, with a copy to the Primary Australian Lender) shall have been notified in writing by the Parent Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by any Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable), the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable)may assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent (or the 


									
		83
	










Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) by the applicable Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each relevant Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent (or the Primary Australian Lender, as applicable) or any Lender against such Borrower.
(g)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to a Loan Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Loan Party but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations provided for herein or therein.
2.19    Requirements of Law.
(a)    If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Closing Date:
(i)    shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or shall subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes and Non-Excluded Taxes) on advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOTerm SOFR Rate, EURIBOR Rate or AUD Rate hereunder; or
(ii)    shall impose on such Lender any other condition not otherwise contemplated hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Term Benchmark Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (in each case hereunder), or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Parent Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, in US Dollars, within thirty Business Days after the Parent Borrower’s receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor (showing with reasonable detail the calculations thereof), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b)    If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such entity’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such entity could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a reasonably detailed written request therefor (consistent with the detail provided by such Lender to similarly situated borrowers), the Parent Borrower shall pay to such Lender, in US Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such entity for such reduction.
(c)    A certificate prepared in good faith as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 submitted by any Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation 


									
		84
	










therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to any Lender with respect to penalties, interest and expenses if written demand therefore was not made by such Lender within 180 days from the date on which such Lender makes payment for such penalties, interest and expenses.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.19 to the contrary, solely for purposes of this Section 2.19, (i) the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date.
(e)    For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Lender.
2.20    Taxes.
(a)    Except as required by law, all payments made by the Borrowers or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes.  If a Borrower, an Obligor or any other applicable withholding agent is required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of such Borrower, Obligor or the applicable withholding agent) to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any amount paid or payable by such Borrower or applicable Obligor under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, then (i) such Borrower, Obligor or the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the applicable Obligor shall pay an additional amount to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to the extent necessary, so the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives (after deduction or withholding of all Non-Excluded Taxes including Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20(a)) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made.
(b)    In addition, each Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c)    Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are paid by the Borrowers and any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as promptly as practicable thereafter the applicable Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof if such receipt is obtainable, or, if not, such other evidence of payment as may reasonably be required by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. 
(d)    Subject to Section 2.20(a), any Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall indemnify the Administrative Agent  or any Lender, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) (to the extent not compensated by an increased payment under clause (a) above) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower or any Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by 


									
		85
	










the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower or any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower or any Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c)(iii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)    Each Lender (and, in the case of a pass-through entity, each of its beneficial owners) that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Parent Borrower and to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two executed, accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or successor form certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) two executed, accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or successor form, (iii) in the case of a Non-US Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit N-1, certifying that such Non-US Lender is not (A) a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent shareholder of the Parent Borrower described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Parent Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with any Loan Document are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and two executed, accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions or successors to such forms, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-US Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding tax on all payments by any Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) to the extent a Non-US Lender is not the beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by, and to the extent applicable, an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8ECI, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-2 or Exhibit N-3 (provided, that if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-4 on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) and any other required supporting information from each beneficial owner; or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirement of Law to permit the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-US Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-US Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-US Lender and from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each Non-US Lender shall (i) promptly notify the Parent Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Parent Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose) and (ii) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable judgment, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its lending office pursuant to Section 2.23) to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any such jurisdiction that any Borrower or 


									
		86
	










any Loan Party make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-US Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(g)    Each Lender (and, in the case of a Lender that is a non-United States pass-through entity, each of its beneficial owners) that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “US Lender”) shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent two executed, accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form and certify that such lender is not subject to backup withholding. Such forms shall be delivered by each US Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each US Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such US Lender and from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each US Lender shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certifications to the Parent Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose).
(h)    If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or any Loan Party or with respect to which any Borrower or any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall promptly pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower or such Loan Party under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority; provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not be required to repay to the Administrative Agent or the Lender an amount in excess of the amount paid over by such party to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.20. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person. In no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes had never been paid. The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
(i)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection (i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(j)    In respect of a payment made to an Australian Lender which is not a resident of Australia for tax purposes under any Loan Document by the Australian Borrower, such Australian Lender shall: (i) provide to the Australian Borrower confirmation at the time of becoming an Australian Lender to this Agreement as to whether or not that Lender was eligible to receive payments of interest upon any Loan Agreement without withholding or deduction on account of Australian Withholding Tax; (ii) represent and warrant that it will notify the Australian Borrower in writing if the confirmation in 


									
		87
	










paragraph (j)(i) ceases to be correct prior to the time of the next interest payment on the Loan Document, and (iii) cooperate, to the extent it is reasonably able to do so, and provide the Australian Borrower all reasonable documentation to confirm the confirmations, representations and warranties in this Section 2.20(j).
(k)    For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(l)    For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to IRS Form W-8-BEN shall be deemed to include a reference to IRS Form W-8-BEN-E.
(m)    Each Euro Lender and the Euro Borrower shall cooperate in good faith in order for the Euro Borrower (or any agent or nominee thereof) to make payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without a tax deduction or withholding being imposed by the Republic of Italy or with the minimum rate of tax deduction or withholding under applicable laws.  Each Euro Lender shall, after becoming a Euro Lender under this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter whenever required, promptly submit any forms and documents and complete any procedural formalities (including obtaining and providing the Euro Borrower with an up to date affidavit for double taxation treaty purposes or, as the case may be, a Self-Declaration in case of an Italian Qualifying Lender under clause (c) of the relevant definition), as may be necessary (at any time) for the Euro Borrower (or any agent or nominee thereof) to obtain and maintain authorisation (at all times) to make payments from the Euro Borrower (or any agent or nominee thereof) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without a tax deduction or withholding being imposed by the Republic of Italy or with the minimum rate of tax deduction or withholding under applicable laws (the “Procedural Formalities”). If a Euro Lender, becoming a Lender under this Facilities Agreement on or after the Euro Borrower Accession Date, fails to provide the Euro Borrower with copy of the duly completed Procedural Formalities before the first relevant payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is due then such Euro Lender shall be treated for the purposes of that payment by the Euro Borrower (or any agent or nominee thereof) as if it is subject to tax deduction or withholding being imposed by the Republic of Italy at the maximum applicable rate until the date when such Procedural Formalities have been duly complied with.  For purposes of this Section 2.20(m), no Lender shall be considered a Euro Lender until the terms and condition in Section 5.3 shall have been satisfied.  If a Euro Lender, being a Lender under this Agreement before the Euro Borrower Accession Date (the “Existing Euro Lender”), fails to provide the Euro Borrower with copy of the duly completed Procedural Formalities before the first relevant payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then such Existing Euro Lender shall be entitled to receive additional amounts under this Section 2.20 for an amount which ensures that (after making any Italian tax deduction or withholding on the payment to which it is entitled) such Existing Euro Lender receives on due date and retains (free from any liability in respect of such Italian tax deduction or withholding) an amount equal to the to the payment which it would have received and so retained had such Existing Euro Lender timely complied with the relevant Procedural Formalities, until the date when such Procedural Formalities have been duly complied with. 
2.21    Indemnity. Other than with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.20, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or an optional or mandatory prepayment of Loans), (ii) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iv) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.24 or, (v) [reserved] or (vi) the failure by any Borrower to make any payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (other than loss of Applicable Margin) attributable to such event.  In the case of a Term Benchmark 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 (x) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the AUD Rate, as applicable, that 


									
		88
	










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 therefor (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 (y) 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 deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency, whether or not such Term Benchmark Loan was in fact so funded.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Parent Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.    
2.22    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case, first made after the Closing Date, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Term Benchmark Loans (whether denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency) as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, and (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Term Benchmark Loans, continue Term Benchmark Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended during the period of such illegality, (b) such Lender’s outstanding Term Benchmark Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be converted automatically to US Dollars on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Term Benchmark Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then-current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Term Benchmark Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21.
2.23    Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.23 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22.
2.24    Replacement of Lenders. The Borrowers shall be permitted to (a) replace with a financial entity or financial entities, or (b) prepay or terminate, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.21), the Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of any Lender or Issuing Lender (each such Lender and Issuing Lender, a “Replaced Lender”) that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing or otherwise results in increased costs imposed on the Borrowers or on account of which the Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts to any Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 (to the extent a request made by a Lender pursuant to the operation of Section 2.21 is materially greater than requests made by other Lenders) or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.22, (ii) is a Defaulting Lender, or (iii) has refused to consent to any waiver or amendment with respect to any Loan Document that requires such Lender’s consent and has been consented to by the Required Lenders; provided that, in the case of a replacement pursuant to clause (a) above, (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) the replacement financial entity or financial entities shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such Replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (C) the Borrowers shall be liable to such Replaced Lender under Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any Term Benchmark Loan owing to such Replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (D) the replacement financial entity or financial entities, (x) if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent that an assignment to such replacement financial institution of the rights and obligations being acquired by it would otherwise require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(i)(B) and (y) shall pay (unless otherwise paid by the Borrowers) any processing and recordation fee required under Section 10.6(b)(ii)(B), (E) the Administrative Agent and

The termination of the Commitments of any Lender pursuant to clause (b) above shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.24, if the Replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Replaced Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Replaced Lender, then such Replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Parent Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register.

Any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of such New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such New Loan Commitments.
(b)    Such New Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i)(1) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or “material adverse effect”), in each case on and as of such Increased Amount Date as if made on and as of such Increased Amount Date except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or “material adverse effect”) as of such earlier date (or, in the case of an incurrence of New Loans necessary or advisable (as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith) for the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition, each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or “material adverse effect”), in each case on and as of the date the

definitive acquisition agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice or declaration of such Limited Condition Acquisition) as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or “material adverse effect”) as of such earlier date) and (2) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date immediately after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments and the making of any New Loans pursuant thereto and any transaction consummated in connection therewith (or, in the case of an incurrence of New Loans necessary or advisable (as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith) for the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition, no Default or Event of Default exists as of the date the definitive acquisition agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice or declaration of such Limited Condition Acquisition)); (ii) the Borrowers shall be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.4 as of the end of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 at the effective time of such commitments (for purposes of this Section 2.25(b)(ii), (x) with all New Loan Commitments deemed to be drawn in full and (y) without giving effect to the incurrence of any New Loans for purposes of clause (b) of the definition of “Consolidated Net Total Leverage”);

(v) in the case of New Loans that are term loans (“New Term Loans”), the maturity date thereof shall not be earlier than the Latest Maturity Date and the weighted average life to maturity shall be equal to or greater than the weighted average life to maturity of the Latest Maturing Term Loans (other than an earlier maturity date and/or shorter weighted average life to maturity for customary bridge financings, which, subject to customary conditions, would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing which does not provide for an earlier maturity date or a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the Latest Maturity Date or the weighted average life to maturity of the Latest Maturing Term Loans, as applicable); (vi) in the case of any New Loans that are revolving loans or commitments (“New Revolving Loans”) the maturity date or commitment termination date thereof shall not be earlier than the Revolving Termination Date and such New Revolving Loans shall not require any scheduled commitment reductions prior to the Revolving Termination Date;

(xi) [reserved]; and (xii) no New Term Loan Commitment or Supplemental Term Loan Commitment shall (x) contain covenants or events of default that, taken as a whole, are materially more restrictive on the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to the Latest Maturity Date than the covenants applicable to Term Loans in the Loan Documents or (y) require any mandatory prepayments prior to the Term Maturity Date, other than sharing ratably in the same mandatory prepayments applicable to the Term Facility. For the avoidance of doubt, the rate of interest and the amortization schedule (if applicable) of any New Loan Commitments shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the applicable New Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement.


									
		91
	










(c)    On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Loan Commitment become effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each lender with a New Loan Commitment (each, a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such New Loan Commitment.

Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders (other than with respect to any New Loans or New Loan Commitments under the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, which shall require the consent of the Primary Australian Lender), effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.25.
(e)    Supplemental Term Loan Commitments, Revolving Commitment Increases, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitment Increases and Euro Tranche Revolving Commitment Increases shall become commitments under this Agreement pursuant to a supplement specifying the Term Loan Tranche, Revolving Tranche, Australian Tranche Revolving Tranche or Euro Tranche Revolving Tranche to be increased, executed by the Parent Borrower, applicable other Borrowers and each increasing Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (the “Increase Supplement”) or by each New Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 (the “Lender Joinder Agreement”), as the case may be, which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording in the Register.

2.26    Extension of Term Loans, Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Commitments.
(a)    The Parent Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the (i) Term Loans of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Term Tranche”, and the Term Loans of such Tranche, the “Existing Term Loans”), (ii) Revolving Commitments of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Tranche” and the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Revolving Loans”), (iii) Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Tranche” and the Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments of such Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Loans”) or (iv) Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Euro Tranche Revolving Tranche”, and together with the Existing Term Tranches, Existing Revolving Tranches and Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Tranches, each, an “Existing Tranche”, and the Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments of such Existing Euro Tranche Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Euro Tranche Revolving Loans”, and together with the Existing Term Loans, Existing Revolving Loans and Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Loans, the “Existing Loans”), in each case, be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of any Existing Tranche (any such Existing Tranche which has been so extended, an “Extended Term Tranche”, “Extended Revolving Tranche”, “Extended Australian Tranche Revolving Tranche or “Extended Euro Tranche Revolving Tranche”, as applicable, and each, an “Extended Tranche”, and the Term Loans, Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of such Extended Tranches, the “Extended Term Loans”, “Extended Revolving Commitments”, “Extended Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments” or “Extended Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments”), as applicable, and collectively, the “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.26; provided that (i) any such request shall be made by the Parent Borrower to all Lenders with Term Loans, Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Eura Tranche Revolving Commitments, as applicable, with a like maturity date (whether under one or more Tranches) on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding 


									
		92
	










principal amount of the applicable Term Loans or the applicable Revolving Commitments) and (ii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Parent Borrower in its sole discretion. In order to establish any Extended Tranche, the Parent Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the applicable Lenders of the applicable Existing Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Tranche to be established, which terms shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the Existing Tranche from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Tranche”), except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Tranches may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Tranche, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Tranche may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Tranche and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Tranche in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (z) in the case of an Extended Term Tranche, so long as the weighted average life to maturity of such Extended Tranche would be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Specified Existing Tranche, amortization rates with respect to the Extended Term Tranche may be higher or lower than the amortization rates for the Specified Existing Tranche, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.26 or otherwise, assignments and participations of Extended Tranches shall be governed by the same or, at the Parent Borrower’s discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions applicable to Term Loans, Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments or Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments, as applicable, set forth in Section 10.6. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Loans converted into an Extended Tranche pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche of Loans from the Specified Existing Tranches and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).
(b)    The Parent Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Tranche converted into an Extended Tranche shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Tranche that it has elected to convert into an Extended Tranche. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Tranches requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Tranches subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Tranches on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Tranches included in each such Extension Election. In connection with any extension of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.26 (each, an “Extension”), the Parent Borrower shall agree to such procedures regarding timing, rounding and other administrative adjustments to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.26. The Parent Borrower may amend, revoke or replace an Extension Request pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at any time prior to the date (the “Extension Request Deadline”) on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Tranches, Existing Revolving Tranches, Existing Australian Tranche Revolving Tranches or Existing Euro Tranche Revolving Tranches are requested to respond to the Extension Request. Any Lender may revoke an Extension Election at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Extension Request Deadline, at which point the Extension Election becomes irrevocable (unless otherwise agreed by Borrower). The revocation of an Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline shall not prejudice any Lender’s right to submit a new Extension Election prior to the Extension Request Deadline. 
(c)    Extended Tranches shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins or fees referenced in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 2.26(a), or, in the case of Extended Term Tranches, amortization rates referenced in clause (z) of Section 2.26(a), and which, in each case, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 2.26(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Tranches established thereby)

executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Extending Lenders. Subject to the requirements of this Section 2.26 and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 10.1 to any Section 2.26 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.26 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.26 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.26 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Tranches provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.26 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 10.1; provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for (i) any Extended Tranche to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the Existing Tranches or be guaranteed by any Person other than the Obligors and (ii) so long as any Existing Term Tranches are outstanding, any mandatory or voluntary prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Existing Term Tranches (other than Existing Term Tranches secured on a junior basis by the Collateral or ranking junior in right of payment, which shall be subject to junior prepayment provisions) on a pro rata basis (or otherwise provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for Existing Term Tranches than such Extended Term Tranches as contemplated by Section 2.12). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1, any such Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.26; provided that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.26 Additional Amendment.
(d)    If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Parent Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Parent Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Parent Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Extended Loans on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned (including pursuant to Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable)) shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Assumption. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.26, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption by the later of (A) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and (B) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption as of such date and the Parent Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with Section 2.26(a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Tranche of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Tranche shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Tranche so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Tranches shall be established as a separate Tranche from the Specified Existing Tranche and from any other Existing Tranches (together with any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).
(f)    Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of the Parent Borrower, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its Existing Loans deemed to be an Extended Loan under the applicable Extended Tranche on any date (each date a “Designation Date”) 


									
		94
	










prior to the maturity date of such Extended Tranche; provided that such Lender shall have provided written notice to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days prior to such Designation Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion); provided, further, that no greater amount shall be paid by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower or any of its Affiliates to any such Non-Extending Lender as consideration for its extension into such Extended Tranche than was paid to any Extending Lender as consideration for its Extension into such Extended Tranche. Following a Designation Date, the Existing Loans held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be Extended Loans of the applicable Extended Tranche, and any Existing Loans held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be “Existing Loans” of the applicable Tranche.
(g)    With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.26, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 and (ii) no Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Parent Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Parent Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Parent Borrower) of Existing Loans of any or all applicable Tranches be extended. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.26 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.8, 2.11 and 2.12) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.26.
2.27    Permitted Debt Exchanges.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by the Parent Borrower to all Lenders (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Parent Borrower, is unable to certify that it is either a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)) with outstanding Term Loans of a particular Tranche, as selected by the Parent Borrower, the Parent Borrower may from time to time following the Closing Date consummate one or more exchanges of Term Loans of such Tranche for Additional Obligations in the form of notes (such notes, “Permitted Debt Exchange Notes,” and each such exchange a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans exchanged shall equal the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Term Loans, (ii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged by the Parent Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Parent Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the Parent Borrower for immediate cancellation), (iii) if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount of the applicable Tranche actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be exchanged by the Parent Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then the Parent Borrower shall exchange Term Loans subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, (iv) each such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Lenders (other than any Lender that, if requested by the Parent Borrower, is unable to certify that it is either a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act)) based on their respective aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Tranche, (v) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications 


									
		95
	










generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with the Administrative Agent, and (vi) any applicable Minimum Exchange Tender Condition shall be satisfied. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans exchanged for Permitted Debt Exchange Notes pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer.
(b)    With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.27, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 and 2.12 and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, provided that, subject to the foregoing clause (ii), the Parent Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Exchange Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the Parent Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans be tendered.
(c)    In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the Parent Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.27 and without conflict with Section 2.27(d); provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than five Business Days following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made.
(d)    The Parent Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with the Parent Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange (other than the Parent Borrower’s reliance on any certificate delivered by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.27(a) above for which such Lender shall bear sole responsibility) and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Exchange Act.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 3, together with the Existing Letters of Credit, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) under the Revolving Commitments for the account of the Revolving Borrowers or any Obligor on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the aggregate L/C Commitment, (ii) the L/C Obligations of such Issuing Lender shall exceed such Issuing Lender’s individual L/C Commitment or (iii) any Revolving Lender’s Available Revolving Commitment or the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero and (iv) Barclays Bank PLC shall not be required to issue any Letters of Credit other than standby Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in US Dollars or any Alternative Currency and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance or such longer period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (unless cash collateralized or backstopped, in each case in a manner agreed to by the Parent Borrower and the Issuing Lender); provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods or such longer periods as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above (unless cash collateralized or backstopped, in each case in a manner agreed to by the Parent Borrower and the Issuing Lender)).

(b)    No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would (i) conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law, or if such Requirement of Law would impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and is not otherwise reimbursable to it by the Borrowers hereunder and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it or (ii) violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable generally to the issuance of letters of credit for the account of similarly situated borrowers.
(c)    No Issuing Lender shall be required to (but may, at its option) (i) issue a Letter of Credit in an amount less than $100,000 and (ii) issue any Letter of Credit to the extent it would cause such Issuing Bank to have more than five Letters of Credit outstanding to the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries.
3.2    Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrowers may from time to time request that the relevant Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit (or amend, renew or extend an outstanding Letter of Credit) by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified to the Borrowers by such Issuing Lender an Application therefor, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue (or amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event without the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue (or amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower. Such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Parent Borrower promptly following the issuance (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) thereof. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the relevant Revolving Lenders, notice of the issuance (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) of each Letter of Credit issued by it (including the amount thereof).
3.3    Fees and Other Charges.
(a)    The Borrowers will pay a fee, in US Dollars, on each outstanding Letter of Credit requested by it, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term Benchmark Loans under the Revolving Facility (minus the fronting fee referred to below), on the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, which fee shall be shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date; provided that, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, such Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee accrued on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on any outstanding Letters of Credit during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such time; provided further that any Defaulting Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee accrued on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on any outstanding Letters of Credit shall accrue for the account of each Non-Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit which has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(d) and with respect to any L/C Shortfall either (i) if the Borrowers have paid to the Administrative Agent, an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of the L/C Shortfall to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrowers or (ii) otherwise, for the account of the Issuing Lenders, in each case so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee, in US Dollars, equal to 0.125% per annum on the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued 


									
		97
	










by it to the Borrowers separately agreed to by the Parent Borrower and such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.
(b)    In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrowers shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for costs and expenses agreed by the Borrowers and such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit requested by the Borrowers.
3.4    L/C Participations.
(a)    Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by it for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay, in US Dollars, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (“L/C Disbursements”); provided that, nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision (or settlement tantamount thereto). Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount 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 L/C Participant may have against any Issuing Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrowers, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b)    If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, 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. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any relevant L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error.
(c)    Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.


									
		98
	










(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event an L/C Participant becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage in all outstanding Letters of Credit will automatically be reallocated among the L/C Participants that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (calculated without regard to the Revolving Commitment of the Defaulting Lender), but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender. Subject to Section 10.23, 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.  If such reallocation cannot, or can only partially be effected, the Borrowers shall, within five Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (calculated as in effect immediately prior to it becoming a Defaulting Lender) of the L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.4(d)) to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent. So long as there is a Defaulting Lender, an Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit where the sum of the Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of the outstanding Revolving Loans, their participations in Swing Line Loans and their participations in Letters of Credit after giving effect to any such requested Letter of Credit would exceed (such excess, the “L/C Shortfall”) the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, unless the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of the L/C Shortfall, such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.
(e)    If, on any date, the L/C Obligations would exceed 105% of the L/C Commitment (including as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations on any Revaluation Date in accordance with Section 1.4), the Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount by which the L/C Obligations exceed the L/C Commitment, such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.
3.5    Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. The Borrowers agree to reimburse each Issuing Lender on the Business Day following the date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender at the Parent Borrower’s request and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified to the Parent Borrower in US Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at a rate equal to (i) until the second Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility and (ii) thereafter, the rate set forth in Section 2.15(ce). In the case of any such reimbursement in US Dollars with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Parent Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the draft so paid promptly following the determination thereof.
3.6    Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrowers may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrowers also agree with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations 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 Borrowers and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other 


									
		99
	










party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrowers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, or any other events or circumstances that, pursuant to applicable law or the applicable customs and practices promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce, are not within the responsibility of such Issuing Lender, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or its employees or agents. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or its employees or agents. The Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrowers.
3.7    Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of such Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender 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 are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8    Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement or such other Loan Document shall apply.
3.9    Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (a) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
SECTION 4.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, each Borrower hereby represents and warrants (as to itself and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or where specified, its Subsidiaries)) to the Agents and each Lender, which representations and warranties shall be deemed made on the Closing Date and on the date of each borrowing of Loans or issuance, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit hereunder that:
4.1    Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, and the related statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP or other independent certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing, present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as at such date, and the results of, their operations, their cash flows and their changes in stockholders’ equity for the respective fiscal years then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto and year-end adjustments, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as otherwise noted therein).
4.2    No Change. Since December 31, 2020, there has been no event, development or circumstance that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.3    Existence; Compliance with Law. (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.3, (i) the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Immaterial Subsidiaries) is duly organized (or incorporated), validly existing and in good standing (or, only where applicable, the equivalent status in any foreign jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation, except in each case (other than with respect to the Borrowers), to the extent such failure to do so would not 


									
		100
	










reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has the corporate or organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company and in good standing (where such concept is relevant) under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or in good standing (where such concept is relevant) would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) each of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that any such failure to comply therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.4    Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.
(a)    Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to borrow or have Letters of Credit issued hereunder, except in each case (other than with respect to the Borrowers), to the extent such failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except in each case (other than with respect to the Borrowers), to the extent such failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect or the failure to obtain which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.17.
(c)    Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms (provided that, with respect to the creation and perfection of security interests with respect to the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries, only to the extent enforceability of such obligation with respect to which Capital Stock is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code), except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law) and the implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.
4.5    No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by the Loan Parties thereto, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not (a) violate the Organic Documents of (i) the Borrowers or (ii) except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, any other Loan Party, (b) except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, violate any Requirement of Law binding on the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any Contractual Obligation of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (c) except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens permitted by Section 7.3).
4.6    No Material Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.6, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened against the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or against any of their Properties which, taken as a whole, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.7    No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.


									
		101
	










4.8    Ownership of Property; Liens. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.8, each of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has good title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its Real Property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other Property (other than Intellectual Property, which is addressed separately in Section 4.9), in each case, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by the Loan Documents. 
4.9    Intellectual Property. Each of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or has a valid license to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, free and clear of all Liens except as permitted by the Loan Documents, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No holding, injunction, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority against the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has entered into any settlement stipulation or other agreement (except non-exclusive license agreements in the ordinary course of business) which would limit, cancel or question the validity or enforceability of the Parent Borrower’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s rights in, any Intellectual Property in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been asserted or threatened or is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use or ownership by the Parent Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Intellectual Property used or owned by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the validity or enforceability of any Intellectual Property, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and the operation of their businesses does not infringe on, misappropriate or otherwise violate the rights of any Person in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries take all reasonable actions that in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment should be taken to protect and maintain their ownership of, and the validity and enforceability of, all Intellectual Property, including Intellectual Property that is confidential in nature, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.10    Taxes. Each of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, provincial and other tax returns that are required to be filed and (ii) has paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns and all other Taxes, fees or other similar charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amounts the validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which any reserves required in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be), except in each case of (i) and (ii), where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, nor any transaction to be carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated thereby, meets any hallmark set out in Annex IV of the Council Directive of 25 May 2018 (2018/822/EU) amending Directive 2011/16/EU.
4.11    Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for any purpose that violates the provisions of the regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U 1 referred to in Regulation U.
4.12    ERISA.
(a)    Except as would not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to meet the minimum funding standards (within the meaning of Section 412(a) of the Code or Section 302(a)(2) of ERISA) nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412(a) of the Code or Section 302(a)(2) of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and each Single Employer Plan has complied with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code; (ii) no termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen on the assets of the Parent Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Commonly Controlled Entity, during such five-year period, nor is any such termination or Lien reasonably expected to occur or arise; 


									
		102
	










the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Single Employer Plan allocable to such accrued benefits; (iii) none of the Parent Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a liability under ERISA; (iv) none of the Parent Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the Parent Borrower or such Subsidiary or Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made; and (v) no Multiemployer Plan is Insolvent.
(b)    The Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not incurred, and do not reasonably expect to incur, any liability under ERISA or the Code with respect to any plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA which is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA that is maintained by a Commonly Controlled Entity (other than the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries) (a “Commonly Controlled Plan”) merely by virtue of being treated as a single employer under Title IV of ERISA with the sponsor of such plan that would reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and result in a direct obligation of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to pay money.
(c)    Except as would not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Foreign Plan Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur.
4.13    Investment Company Act. No Loan Party is an “investment company,” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
4.14    Subsidiaries.  The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.14 constitute all the Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower at the Closing Date. Schedule 4.14 sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to each Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party and the designation of such Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
4.15    Environmental Matters. Other than exceptions to any of the following that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law for the operation of the Business; or (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability.
4.16    Accuracy of Information, etc. As of the Closing Date, no statement or information (excluding the projections and pro forma financial information referred to below) contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any certificate furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, when taken as a whole, contained as of the date such statement, information, or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

(h)    One or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Immaterial Subsidiary) involving the Parent Borrower and any such Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole a liability (not paid or fully covered by third-party insurance or effective indemnity) equal to, or in excess of $125,000,000 (net of any amounts which are covered by insurance or an effective indemnity), and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, dismissed, stayed or bonded within 60 days from the entry thereof; or
(i)    (1) any Loan Document or any Lien granted thereunder (affecting a material portion of the Collateral, taken as a whole) shall (except in accordance with its terms), in whole or in part, terminate, cease to be effective or cease to be the legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of any Obligor party thereto, (2) any Obligor or any other party shall, directly or indirectly, contest in any manner such effectiveness, validity, binding nature or enforceability; or (3) except as permitted under any Loan Document, any Lien securing any Obligation shall, in whole or in part, cease to be a perfected first priority Lien or any Obligor shall so assert (other than, in each case, to the extent that (x) any such loss of perfection or priority results solely from (A) the Collateral Agent no longer having possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under any Security Document or (B) a Uniform Commercial Code filing having lapsed because a Uniform Commercial Code continuation statement (or similar statements or filings in other jurisdictions) was not filed in a timely manner); or
(j)    a Change of Control shall occur; or
(k)    to the extent then in effect, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement shall cease, for any reason (other than by reason of the express release thereof in accordance with the terms thereof or hereof) to be in full force and effect or shall be asserted in writing by the Parent Borrower or any Obligor not to be a legal, valid and binding obligation of any party thereto; or
(l)    the Euro Borrower and/or any Obligor incorporated in Italy is in the situation contemplated by Article 2447, or 2482-ter, as applicable, of the Italian Civil Code; 
then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrowers, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Parent Borrower declare the Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments and Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Commitments, Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments and Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments shall terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Parent Borrower, declare the Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Australian Tranche Revolving Loans and/or Euro Tranche Revolving Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. In the case of all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been backstopped or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrowers then due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrowers (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto).

SECTION 9.    THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
For purposes of this Section 9, for purposes of the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility only, references to “the Parent Borrower, “Lenders”, “the Administrative Agent”, “Loan Documents” and “Required Lenders” refer to “the Australian Borrower”, “Australian Lenders” and “Required Australian Lenders”, respectively. 
9.1    Authorization and Action.
(a)    (i) Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.
(ii)    Without prejudice to paragraph (a)(i) above, for the purposes of Italian law and, particularly, with reference to the Loan Documents governed by Italian law, each Secured Party (including each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender) hereby irrevocably appoints each of the entities named as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in the heading of this Agreement and their successors and assigns as its "mandatario con rappresentanza" pursuant to articles 1703, 1704 and followings of the Italian Civil Code, to act – each of them – as its agent to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents (expressly authorized to sub-delegate the powers and authority granted to it as agent) and each Secured Party (including each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender) authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform, severally among them, its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents governed by Italian law to which the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is a party (including, for the avoidance of any doubt, the power to release and discharge as well as amend, supplement and/or extend any Lien created under the Euro Security Document governed by Italian law), and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may have under such Loan Documents governed by Italian law also in case of occurrence of the events described in, articles 1394 and 1395 of the Italian Civil Code.
(b)    As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to 


									
		128
	










bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided.  Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(c)    In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i)    the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Swing Line Lender, Issuing Lender or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby;
(ii)    where the Administrative Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee in respect of any Collateral over which a security interest has been created pursuant to a Loan Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the United States, or is required or deemed to hold any Collateral “on trust” pursuant to the foregoing, the obligations and liabilities of the Administrative Agent to the Secured Parties in its capacity as trustee shall be excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; and
(iii)    nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account;
(d)    The Administrative Agent may perform any 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 the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Persons.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Persons of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.
(e)    None of any Co-Documentation Agent, Co-Syndication Agent or any Lead Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.


									
		129
	










(f)    In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, Swing Line Loans or any Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Parent Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.9, 2.15, 2.20, 3.3, and 10.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 10.5).  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender in any such proceeding.
(g)    The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of the Parent Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.
9.2    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Limitation of Liability, Etc.
(a)    Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such party, the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the 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 for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.


									
		130
	










(b)    The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any (i) notice of any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 6.7 unless and until written notice thereof stating that it is a “notice under Section 6.7” in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under said Section is given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower, or (ii) notice of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower, a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or an Issuing Lender.  Further, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (F) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any Liabilities, costs or expenses suffered by the Borrowers, any Subsidiary, any Lender, any Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender as a result of, any determination of the Aggregate Exposure, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender, Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender, or any Dollar Equivalent or Alternative Currency Equivalent, except to the extent that such Liabilities, costs or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.
(c)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 10.6, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 10.6(b)(iv), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or an Issuing Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan and/or Swing Line Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).
9.3    Posting of Communications.
(a)    The Parent Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b)    Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password 


									
		131
	










authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Parent Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.  Each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Parent Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(c)    THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LEAD ARRANGER, ANY CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY CO-SYNDICATION AGENT, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, THE SWING LINE LENDER, ANY ISSUING LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.
(d)    Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s, Swing Line Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.
(e)    Each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Parent Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.
(f)    Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
9.4    The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitments, Loans and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same 


									
		132
	










rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be.  The terms “Issuing Lenders”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent 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 banking, trust or other business with, the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lenders.
9.5    Successor Administrative Agent and Issuing Lenders.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the Parent Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York City or an Affiliate of any such bank.  In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Parent Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing).  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent.  Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
(b)    Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the Parent Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender.  Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.5, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring 


									
		133
	










Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.
(c)    Any resignation by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.5(c) shall also constitute its resignation as the Swing Line Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to make any further Swing Line Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Swing Line Lender with respect to any Swing Line Loans made by it prior to the date of such resignation.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder or upon the expiration of the thirty (30) day period following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation without a successor agent having been appointed, (i) such successor (if any) shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and (iii)  the successor Swing Line Lender, in coordination with the Parent Borrower, shall make Swing Line Loans hereunder the proceeds of which shall be applied to the repayment of any outstanding Swing Line Loans of the retiring Swing Line Lender.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Issuing Lender assigns all of its Commitment and Loans hereunder, such Issuing Lender may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, resign as Issuing Lender.

the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender from the 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, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender (whether or not known to such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the 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, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the 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, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(a)    Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.7 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.


									
		135
	










(b)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of cash management services, the obligations under which constitute Cash Management Obligations and Hedge Agreement the obligations under which constitute obligations under any Specified Hedge Agreement, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document.  By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Cash Management Obligations or Hedge Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.
(c)    The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.3. The Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
9.8    Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law.  In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase).  In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.1 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be 


									
		136
	










cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.  Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Agents, the Lenders or the Parent Borrower shall not be effective until received.
(b)    Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Agents or the Parent Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
(c)    The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive information other than information that is publicly available, or not material with respect to the Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or their respective securities, for purposes of the United States Federal and state securities laws (collectively, “Public Information”). Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that is Public Information and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as containing only Public Information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.14); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”; provided that there is no requirement that the Borrowers identify any such information as “PUBLIC.”
(d)    THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of their Related Persons (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Parent Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet or notices through the Platform or any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent Party or any of its Related Persons; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender, the Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).
(e)    Each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Primary Australian Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender and 


									
		143
	










the Primary Australian Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Requirement of Law, including United States Federal securities laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain information other than Public Information.
(f)    The Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders, the Primary Australian Lender and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices of borrowing) believed in good faith by the Administrative Agent to be given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
10.3    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(a)    No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.1 for the benefit of all the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) each Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) each Issuing Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.7(b) (subject to the terms of Section 10.7(a)), (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law and (v) the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
10.4    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.
10.5    Payment of Expenses; Indemnification.  (a) Except with respect to Taxes which are addressed in Section 2.20, each Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse each Agent for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith and any amendment, supplement or modification thereto, and, as to the Agents only, the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of a single firm of counsel to the Agents (plus one firm of special regulatory counsel and one firm of local counsel per material jurisdiction as may reasonably be necessary in connection with collateral matters) in connection with all of the 


									
		144
	










foregoing, (ii) to pay or reimburse each Lender and each Agent for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents referred to in Section 10.5(a)(i) above (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or in connection with any workout or restructuring), including the documented fees and disbursements of a single firm of counsel and, if necessary, a single firm of special regulatory counsel and a single firm of local counsel per material jurisdiction as may reasonably be necessary, for the Agents and the Lenders, taken as a whole and, in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Agent or Lender affected by such conflict informs the Parent Borrower and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel for each Lender or Agent or group of Lenders or Agents subject to such conflict and (iii) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Agent, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender, each Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, trustees, advisors, agents and controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements arising out of any actions, judgments or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with any claim, action or proceeding relating to or otherwise with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents referred to in Section 10.5(a) above and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Parent Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties and the fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrowers hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (iii), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that, the Borrowers shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities have resulted from (A) the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of the Loan Documents of such Indemnitee or its Related Persons as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision (or settlement tantamount thereto) or (B) any dispute solely among Indemnitees or their respective Related Persons other than claims against any agent or arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as agent or arranger or any similar role in respect of the credit facilities provided hereunder and other than claims to the extent arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Parent Borrower or its Related Persons. For purposes hereof, a “Related Person” of an Indemnitee means (i) if the Indemnitee is any Agent or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons, any of such Agent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons; provided that solely for purposes of Section 9, references to each Agent’s Related Persons shall also include such Agent’s trustees and advisors, and (ii) if the Indemnitee is any Lender or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons, any of such Lender and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable promptly after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor. Statements payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to the Parent Borrower at the address thereof set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Parent Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Obligations.
(b)    To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) the Borrowers and any Loan Party shall not assert, and the Borrowers and each Loan Party hereby waive, any claim against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Issuing Lender, any Lender and any Swing Line Lender, and any Related Person of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 10.5(b) shall relieve the 


									
		145
	










Borrowers of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Section 10.5(a), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
10.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) subject to Sections 2.24 and 2.26(e), no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6.
(b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may, in compliance with applicable law, assign (other than to a natural person or to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
(A)    the Parent Borrower; provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment of (v) Term Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below), (w) Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans to a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund of a Revolving Lender, in each case, who are capable of funding in each Alternative Currency within the time periods specified for borrowings of Revolving Loans hereunder, (x) Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments and/or Australian Tranche Revolving Loans to an Australian Lender, an Affiliate of an Australian Lender or an Approved Fund of an Australian Lender, in each case, who are capable of funding in Australian Dollars within the time periods specified for borrowings of Australian Tranche Revolving Loans hereunder, (y) Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments and/or Euro Tranche Revolving Loans to a Euro Lender, an Affiliate of a Euro Lender or an Approved Fund of a Euro Lender, in each case, who are capable of funding in Euros within the time periods specified for borrowings of Euro Tranche Revolving Loans hereunder or (z) any Loan or Commitment if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person and provided further, that a consent under this clause (A) shall be deemed given if the Parent Borrower shall not have objected in writing to a proposed assignment within ten Business Days after receipt by it of a written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent; and
(B)    the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to (i) in the case of Term Loans, a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (ii) in the case of Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, a Revolving Lender, (iii) in the case of any assignment of Australian Tranche Revolving Commitments and/or Australian Tranche Revolving Loans and (iv) in the case of Euro Tranche Revolving Commitments and/or Euro Tranche Revolving Loans, a Euro Lender; 
(C)    in the case of an assignment under the Revolving Facility, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender;
(D) in the case of an assignment under the Australian Tranche Revolving Facility, the Primary Australian Lender;
(ii) Subject to Sections 2.24 and 2.26(e), assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of (I) the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or (II) if earlier, the “trade date” (if any) specified in such Assignment and Assumption) shall not be less than (x) $5,000,000 (or the 


									
		146
	










Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof), in the case of the Revolving Facility, Australian Tranche Revolving Facility and Euro Tranche Revolving Facility or (y) $1,000,000, in the case of the Term Facility, unless the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (or, at the Parent Borrower’s request, manually) together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of contemporaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds; and
(C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire and all applicable tax forms.
For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (I) a Lender, (II) an Affiliate of a Lender, (III) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender or (IV) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that is the investment advisor to a Lender. 
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 subject to the obligations under and entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 10.5 and 10.14). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6 (and will be required to comply therewith).
(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement (and the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error for such purposes), notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (except as contemplated by Sections 2.24 and 2.26(e)), the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and all applicable tax forms, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)    (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Person, in compliance with applicable law, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (and for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any natural person or to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates) (a “Participant”), in all or a 


									
		147
	










portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 (if such Participant agrees to have related obligations thereunder) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6. 
(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant (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). No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.20(d), (e) or (m), as (and to the extent) applicable, as if such Participant were a Lender.
(iii)    Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a register on which it enters the name and addresses of each Participant, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). Unless otherwise required by the Internal Revenue Service, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the Internal Revenue Service. 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, the Administrative Agent (it its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)    Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e)    The Borrowers, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agree to issue Notes to any Lender requiring the same (in the case of an assignment, following surrender by the assigning Lender of all Notes representing its assigned interests).
(f)    The Borrowers may prohibit any assignment if it would require the Borrowers to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction and the Borrowers shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

(g)    [Reserved].
(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.26(e) shall be deemed an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b) and shall be valid and in full force and effect for all purposes under this Agreement.
(i)    The Euro Borrower shall promptly carry out and take all the steps and actions (and shall procure that any Obligor incorporated in Italy will promptly carry out and take all the steps and actions) which are required, necessary or appropriate, to have any transfer and/or assignment by any Lender pursuant this Section 10.6 perfected and effective with respect to the Euro Borrower and any Obligor incorporated under Italian law (including, without limitation, the execution of any document, notice and/or acknowledgement letter pursuant to Articles 1248, 1264 and 1265 of the Italian Civil Code, bearing certified date (data certa) for the purposes of Italian law).
(j)    For the purposes of Italian law, the assignment and/or transfer of the rights of the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall constitute a cessione del credito or a  cessione del contratto totale o parziale, as the case may be, and it shall neither constitute a novation nor have an effetto novativo on the obligations under the Loan Documents. 
(k)    For the purposes of Article 1407 of the Italian Civil Code, the Euro Borrower and any Obligor incorporated under Italian law, without prejudice to paragraph (b) above, give their consent to any assignment, assumption and release of rights or obligations or transfer of contract (cessione di diritti, cessione del credito or cessione totale o parziale del contratto) made by any assigning Lender and irrevocably agrees that, upon any such transfer or assignment being effective and within the limit provided thereunder, the assigning Lender shall be released from its obligations being the subject of such transfer or assignment, also for the purposes of Articles 1273 and 1408 of the Italian Civil Code
10.7    Adjustments; Set off.
(a)    Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or Lenders or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  
(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Parent Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Parent Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Parent Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) after the expiration of any cure or grace periods, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the applicable Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.7 shall not prejudice or limit any rights of a Secured Party under any agreements in respect of Cash Management Obligations or Specified Hedge Agreement and this Section 10.7 shall not apply to any exercise of setoff under any Australian Facility Agreements.

(b)    consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in the New York Courts and appellate courts from either of them, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

Without limiting the foregoing, each Agent and each Lender agrees to treat any and all Confidential Information with adequate means to preserve its confidentiality, and each Agent and each Lender agrees not to disclose Confidential Information, at any time, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, to any other Person whomsoever, except (1) to its partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, directors, officers, employees, counsel, advisors, trustees, Affiliates (including natural persons, directors, officers, employees, counsel, advisors, trustees thereof) and other representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”), to the extent necessary to permit such Representatives to assist in connection with the Agreed Purposes (it being understood that the Representatives to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (2) to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.6(d), governmental pledgee and prospective Lenders and participants in connection with the syndication (including secondary trading) of the Facilities and Commitments and Loans hereunder, in each case who are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to observe and be bound by standard confidentiality terms (provided that no written confidentiality agreement shall be required with respect to government pledgees), (3) to any party or prospective party (or their advisors) to any swap, derivative, or to any credit insurer or risk protection provider relating to Borrowers and their Loan Obligations or similar transaction under which payments are made by reference to the Borrowers and the Obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, in each case who are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to observe and be bound by standard confidentiality terms, (4) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it, (5) in response to any order of any Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (6) to the extent reasonably required or necessary, in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding relating to the Facilities, (7) information that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section 10.14, (8) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or in connection with examinations or audits of such Lender, (9) to the extent reasonably required or necessary, in connection with the exercise of any remedy under the Loan Documents, (10) to the extent each Borrower has consented to such disclosure in writing, (11) to any other party to this Agreement, (12) by the Administrative Agent to the extent reasonably required or necessary to obtain a CUSIP for any Loans or Commitment hereunder, to the CUSIP Service Bureau or (13) to market data collectors or other information services in relation to league table reporting. Each Agent and each Lender acknowledges that (i) Confidential Information includes information that is not otherwise publicly available and that such non-public information may constitute confidential business information which is proprietary to the Borrowers and (ii) each Borrower has advised the Agents and the Lenders that it is relying on the Confidential Information for its success and would not disclose the Confidential Information to the Agents and the Lenders without the confidentiality provisions of this 


									
		152
	










Agreement. All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about each Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the 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, including Federal and state securities laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Assignment and Assumption, the provisions of this Section 10.14 shall survive with respect to each Agent and Lender until the second anniversary of such Agent or Lender ceasing to be an Agent or a Lender, respectively.
(b)    Nothing in any Loan Document shall prevent disclosure of any confidential information or other matter to the extent that preventing that disclosure would otherwise cause any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, or any transaction carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated thereby, to become an arrangement described in Part II A 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2011/16/EU.”
10.15    Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations; Subordination of Liens.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Parent Borrower (i) in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents or any Loan Party becoming an Excluded Guaranty Subsidiary or ceasing to be a Subsidiary, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement or documentation in respect of Foreign Working Capital Obligations or Cash Management Obligations) execute and deliver all releases reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence the release of Liens created in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition or of such Subsidiary, as applicable, and to provide notices of the termination of the assignment of any Property for which an assignment had been made pursuant to any of the Loan Documents which is being Disposed of in such Disposition or of such Subsidiary, as applicable, and to release any Guarantee Obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition or which becomes an Excluded Guaranty Subsidiary or ceases to be a Subsidiary, as applicable and (ii) with respect to any Discretionary Obligor, upon notice by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent at any time as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions not prohibited hereunder; provided, that, the release of any Discretionary Obligor from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty shall constitute the incurrence or making, as applicable, at the time of release of any then-existing Investment, Indebtedness or Lien of such Discretionary Obligor, as applicable. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Property so Disposed of (other than Property Disposed of to the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or of a Loan Party which becomes an Excluded Guaranty Subsidiary or ceases to be a Subsidiary, as applicable, shall no longer be deemed to be repeated once such Property is so Disposed of. 
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than (x) obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement, Foreign Working Capital Obligations or Cash Management Obligations and (y) any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding that is not cash collateralized or backstopped, upon the request of the Parent Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement or documentation in respect of Foreign Working Capital Obligations or Cash Management Obligations) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all Guarantee Obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements, Foreign Working Capital Obligations or Cash Management Obligations or contingent or indemnification obligations not then due. Any such release of Guarantee Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Guarantee Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Obligor, or upon or as a 


									
		153
	










result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Obligor or any substantial part of its Property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made; provided that, to the extent obligations remain outstanding under the Australian Facility Agreements, the security interest and Guarantee Obligations in respect of the Australian Obligations shall not be released without the consent of the Australian Lenders.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Parent Borrower in connection with any Liens permitted by the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to subordinate the Lien on any Collateral to any Lien permitted under Section 7.3.
10.16    Accounting Changes. In the event that any Accounting Change (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial ratios, standards or terms in this Agreement, then following notice either from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent or from the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower (which the Administrative Agent shall give at the request of the Required Lenders), the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Parent Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made. If any such notices are given then, unless the Parent Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that it would be unduly burdensome on the Parent Borrower to do so (as determined in good faith by the Parent Borrower, which determination shall be conclusive), regardless of whether such notice is given prior to or following such Accounting Change, until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and have become effective, all financial ratios, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred. Any amendment contemplated by the prior sentence shall become effective upon the consent of the Required Lenders, it being understood that a Lender shall be deemed to have consented to and executed such amendment if such Lender has not objected in writing within five Business Days following receipt of notice of execution of the applicable amendment by the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it being understood, that the posting of an amendment referred to in the preceding sentence electronically on IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another relevant website with notice of such posting by the Administrative Agent to the Required Lenders shall be deemed adequate receipt of notice of such amendment. “Accounting Changes” refers to changes in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC, in each case, occurring after the Closing Date, including any change to IFRS contemplated by the definition of “GAAP.”
10.17    WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
10.18    USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Publ. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA Patriot Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act and Beneficial Ownership Certification, and the Borrowers agree to provide such information from time to time to any Lender or Agent reasonably promptly upon request from such Lender or Agent.
10.19    Effect of Certain Inaccuracies. In the event that any financial statement delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b) or any Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(b) is inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for such Applicable Period, then (i) promptly following the 


									
		154
	










correction of such financial statement by the Parent Borrower, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected financial statement and a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for the Test Period preceding the delivery of such corrected financial statement and Compliance Certificate shall be determined based on the corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period and (iii) the Parent Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest or commitment fees owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for such Test Period. This Section 10.19 shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder, including under Section 8.1.
10.20    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.20 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
10.21    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
10.22    Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement, any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Borrowing Notice, shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.
10.23    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, 


									
		155
	










may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
10.24    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  
(a)    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. 
(b)    As used in this Section 10.24, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following: 
(i)    a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b)
(ii)    a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or 
(iii)    a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

10.25    Italian Transparency Rules. Pursuant to and in accordance with the transparency rules (Disposizioni in materia di trasparenza delle operazioni e dei servizi bancari e finanziari. Correttezza delle relazioni tra intermediari e clienti) applicable to transactions and banking and financial services issued by Bank of Italy on 29 July 2009 and published in the Italian official gazette (Gazzetta Ufficiale) no. 217 on 18 September 2009 (as amended and supplemented from time to time) (the Transparency Rules), the Parties mutually acknowledge and declare that this agreement and any of its terms and conditions have been negotiated, with the assistance of their respective legal counsels, on an individual basis and, as a result, this agreement falls into the category of the agreements "che costituiscono oggetto di trattativa individuale" which are exempted from the application of Section II of the Transparency Rules.
10.26    Judgment Currency.  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given.  The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency.  If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the applicable Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.18, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.
