14.ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCS
To the extent that any Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Secured Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(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 
10






any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)as used in this Section 14, the following terms have the following meanings:
(i)“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.
(ii)“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(A)a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
(B)a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b);
(C)a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
(iii)“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.
(iv)“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).
15.APPLICABLE LAW; JURISDICTION; TRIAL BY JURY
THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS JOINDER AGREEMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Each of the Parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Joinder Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing in this Section 15 shall limit any of the Parties’ right to bring proceedings in any other courts of competent jurisdiction in more than one jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(g)in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the date specified by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, by notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent (in the case of such notice by the Required Lenders) and the Lenders.

(i)(i) the election by the Administrative Agent or (ii) the election by such Required Class Lenders to declare that an Early Opt-in Election has occurred and the provision, 
22






as applicable, by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the Borrowers and the Lenders or by such Required Class Lenders of written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent.

Any such amendment by the Administrative Agent and the Company with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Additional Term B-6 Facility Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Class Lenders of all affected Classes (acting together); provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any Term SOFR, the applicable Required Class Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein.  Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Class Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Class Lenders accept such amendment.

occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Exhibit A.
Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be ineffective and (ii) if such request requests a Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Credit Borrowing, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 1.02.Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.
(a)Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Additional Facility Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to another, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the irrevocable notice of the relevant Borrower, to the Administrative Agent (provided that, subject to the payment when due of any amounts owing as a result thereof pursuant to Section 3.10, the notice in connection with any acquisition or Investment permitted under this Agreement or other transaction permitted under this Agreement, may be conditioned on the closing of such transaction), which may be given by telephone or Committed Loan Notice; provided that each telephonic notice by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower.  Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (1) 1:00 p.m. two Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Loans from one Type to another, and (2) 1:00 p.m. on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided that the notice referred to in Section 2.02(a)(1) may be delivered no later than one Business Day prior to the requested date of the Borrowing in the case of the initial Revolving Credit Borrowing and the initial Term B-5 Borrowing.  Except as provided in Sections 2.15 or 2.16, or as otherwise specified in an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement in relation to any Additional Facility, each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), 2.04(b), 2.15 or 2.16, or as otherwise specified in an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement in relation to any Additional Facility, each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the requesting Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) if applicable, the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) the currency in which the Loans to be borrowed, continued or converted are to be denominated and (vii) wire instructions of the account(s) to which funds are to be disbursed (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the amount to be disbursed to any particular account may be less than the minimum or multiple limitations set forth above so long as the aggregate amount to be disbursed to all such accounts pursuant to such Borrowing meets such minimums and multiples). The currency specified in a Committed Loan Notice for an Additional Facility must be an Available Currency. If, (A) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, a Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans and (B) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in any Available Currency (other than Dollars), a Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or 
xlix






continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If a Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  If no currency is specified, the requested Borrowing shall be in Dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) Base Rate Loans must be denominated in Dollars and (y) Eurocurrency Rate Loans must be denominated in an Available Currency for which the applicable LIBOR is available at such time.
(b)Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by a Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a).  In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the later of 12:00 noon on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice and one hour after written notice of such Borrowing is delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Lender; provided that such funds may be made available at such earlier time as may be agreed among the relevant Lenders, the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purposes of the relevant transactions.  The Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the relevant Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account(s) of the relevant Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) the wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided by the relevant Borrower to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent; provided that if there are Swing Line Loans or L/C Borrowings outstanding on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing under any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments is given by the relevant Borrower, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowing, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to the relevant Borrower as provided above.
(c)Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the relevant Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.10 in connection therewith.  During the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require by notice to the Borrowers that no Loans denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and Loans denominated in an Available Currency other than Dollars may only be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month.
(d)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(e)After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to another, and all continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that, after the establishment of any new Class of Loans pursuant to an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, a Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment, the number of Interest Periods otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e) shall increase by three Interest Periods for each applicable Class so established.
(f)The failure of any Lender to make a Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
l






(g)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(b), and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the relevant Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the relevant Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the relevant Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If the relevant Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the relevant Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the relevant Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the relevant Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the relevant Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(h)Upon receipt of a Committed Loan Notice for an Additional Facility, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Additional Facility Lender of the aggregate amount of the Additional Facility Borrowing and of the amount of such Additional Facility Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, which shall be based on their respective Additional Facility Commitment.  Each Additional Facility Lender will make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Additional Facility Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Borrower at the New York office of the Administrative Agent specified on Schedule 10.02 prior to the time specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.
(i)No more than one Committed Loan Notice may be made under each Additional Facility unless an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement specifies otherwise, in which case the maximum number of requests for Additional Facility Loans under that Additional Facility will be as set out in that Additional Facility Joinder Agreement.
(j)Unless the Administrative Agent agrees otherwise, or unless otherwise agreed in the Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, no more than five Additional Facility Loans may be outstanding at any one time under each Additional Facility (other than Additional Facilities that are Revolving Credit Loans).

(i)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from and including the 2020 Amendment Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit, at sight denominated in an Available Currency for the account of a Loan Party (provided that any Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or may be issued for the joint and several account of a Loan Party and/or any of their Subsidiaries, in each case to the extent otherwise permitted by this Agreement) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit and (B) the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit (but shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, participate in Alternative Letters of Credit) issued pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with 
li

Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a Borrower’s ability to obtain Alternative Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly a Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Alternative Letters of Credit to replace Alternative Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(iii)No L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit if:
(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the 2021 Extension Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the 2021 Extension Effective Date (for which such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder);
(B)subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit would occur more than 12 months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender has approved of such expiration date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable;
(C)the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender has approved such expiry date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent;
lii






(D)the issuance of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit would violate any policies of the L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, applicable to letters of credit generally;
(E)with respect to any Letter of Credit, any Participating Revolving Credit Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the relevant Borrower to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Lender, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit; or
(F)such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit is denominated in a currency other than an Available Currency applicable to the Class of Commitments under which such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit is issued.
(iv)No L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the expiry date of any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than an Available Currency must be approved by the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer in its sole discretion even if it is less than 12 months after the date of issuance or last renewal and any Auto-Extension Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than an Available Currency shall be issued only at the sole discretion of the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer.
(b)Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit and Alternative Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
(i)Each Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the relevant Borrower, delivered to an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the relevant Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. at least one Business Day prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable: (A) in respect of each Letter of Credit and Alternative Letter of Credit, the relevant Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the amount thereof; (D) the expiry date thereof; (E) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (F) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (H) the Available Currency in which the requested Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit is to be issued will be denominated; and (I) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, (1) the Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, may reasonably request.
(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the relevant Borrower, and, if not, such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Upon receipt by the relevant 
liii






L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer or, with respect to an Alternative Letter of Credit, such Alternative L/C Issuer, on the requested date, shall issue a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit for the account of that Loan Party (and, if applicable, any of its Subsidiaries) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. With respect to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Alternative Letter of Credit), immediately upon such issuance, each Participating Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of (A) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement and (B) the stated amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii)If a Borrower so requests in any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall, and an Alternative L/C Issuer may, agree to issue a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, as applicable, that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must (or, in the case of any Alternative Letter of Credit, may) permit the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, to prevent any such extension at least once in each 12 month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-extension Notice Date”) in each such 12 month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, the relevant Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date that is, unless the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall not permit any such extension if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Participating Revolving Credit Lender (with respect to any Letter of Credit only, and not with respect to any Alternative Letter of Credit) or the relevant Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then satisfied.
(iv)Promptly after issuance of any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, will also deliver to the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit or amendment thereof.
(c)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i)With respect to any Letter of Credit:
(A)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 12:00 noon on the second Business Day following any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit with notice to that Borrower (each such date, an “Honor Date”), that Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in Dollars (it being understood that in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Available Currency other than Dollars, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined by taking the Dollar Equivalent, calculated by the Administrative Agent, of such Letter of Credit); provided that if such reimbursement is not made on the date of drawing, such Borrower shall pay interest to the relevant L/C Issuer on such amount at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars) or Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of a Letter of 
liv






Credit denominated in an Available Currency other than Dollars) under the applicable Participating Revolving Credit Commitments (without duplication of interest payable on L/C Borrowings).  The L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the drawing promptly following the determination or revaluation thereof.  If that Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent, calculated by the Administrative Agent, thereof in the case of an Available Currency other than Dollars) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof.  In such event, (x) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount denominated in Dollars, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount denominated in an Available Currency (other than Dollars), such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month, in each case, under the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments of the Appropriate Lenders and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)(A) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(B)Each Appropriate Lender (including any Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(A) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer in the Available Currency applicable to the Class of Commitments under which such Letter of Credit is issued, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(i)(C), each Appropriate Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made, in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount denominated in Dollars, a Base Rate Loan, and, in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount denominated in an Available Currency (other than Dollars), a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month, under the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments to a Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer.
(C)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the Dollar Equivalent of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Appropriate Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(B) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(D)Until each Appropriate Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer.
(E)Each Participating Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c)(i), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (1) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the 
lv






occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article IV; (3) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Loan Parties; (4) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Issuer; or (5) any other circumstance, occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Participating Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than delivery by the relevant Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice).  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the relevant Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(F)If any Participating Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c)(i) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(i)(B), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such 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 such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Participating Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(i)(F) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii)With respect to any Alternative Letter of Credit:
(A)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Alternative Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Alternative Letter of Credit, the relevant Alternative L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.  Not later than 12:00 noon on the second Business Day following any payment by an Alternative L/C Issuer under an Alternative Letter of Credit with notice to that Borrower, that Borrower shall reimburse such Alternative L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in Dollars (it being understood that in the case of an Alternative Letter of Credit denominated in an Available Currency other than Dollars, the amount of such Alternative Letter of Credit shall be determined by taking the Dollar Equivalent, calculated by the Administrative Agent, of such Alternative Letter of Credit); provided that if such reimbursement is not made on the date of drawing, such Borrower shall pay interest to the relevant Alternative L/C Issuer on such amount at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars) or Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Available Currency other than Dollars) under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (without duplication of interest payable on Alternative L/C Borrowings).  The Alternative L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the drawing promptly following the determination or revaluation thereof (such amount, the “Drawn Amount”).  Any notice given by an Alternative L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(ii)(A) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(B)A Borrower may elect to fund all or part of any Drawn Amount by way of a Revolving Credit Borrowing.  For the purposes of any such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (1) such Borrower shall, at the same time as it delivers a Request for Credit Extension in respect thereof, notify the Administrative Agent that the Revolving Credit Borrowing is for the purpose of funding the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of such Drawn Amount, and (2) for purposes of calculating the Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Lender that has issued the Alternative Letter of Credit under which such Drawn Amount is payable, the participation of such Revolving Credit Lender in such Alternative Letter of Credit shall not be deducted from such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment under such Facility and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Borrowing under such Facility shall be treated as if applied in or towards repayment of the Drawn Amount so that such Revolving Credit Lender will not be required to make a cash payment under Section 2.12 in respect of its participation 
lvi






in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing under such Facility to the extent such Revolving Credit Borrowing is in an amount not exceeding such Drawn Amount.
(d)Repayment of Participations in respect of Letters of Credit.
(i)If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Participating Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the relevant Borrower or any other Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the Dollar Equivalent received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)(A) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Appropriate Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.
(e)Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of any Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, for each drawing under each Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing or Alternative L/C Borrowing, as applicable, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit;
(iv)any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, under such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, under such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
(v)any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit; or
lvii






(vi)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party;
provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer from liability to each Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, punitive, special or exemplary damages, claims in respect of which are waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by each Borrower that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s or Alternative L/C Issuer’s gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.
(f)Role of L/C Issuers and Alternative L/C Issuers.  Each Lender and each Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuers or Alternative L/C Issuers, as applicable, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Lenders holding a majority of the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit, Alternative Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application.  Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude a Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuers or Alternative L/C Issuers, as applicable, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, and such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, may be liable to that Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, punitive or exemplary, damages suffered by that Borrower which that Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s or Alternative L/C Issuer’s wilful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s or Alternative L/C Issuer’s wilful, bad faith or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, in each case as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer and Alternative L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further  investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g)Cash Collateral.  (i) If, as of any Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any applicable Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, (ii) if, with respect to any Letter of Credit (but not with respect to any Alternative Letter of Credit) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Lenders holding a majority of the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, require the relevant Borrower or any other Borrower to Cash Collateralize the applicable L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02, (iii) if, with respect to any Alternative Letter of Credit, any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the relevant Alternative L/C Issuer requires the relevant Borrower or any other Borrower to Cash Collateralize the applicable L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02, or (iv) if an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs and is continuing, the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all of its (or, in the case of clause (i), the applicable) L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of 
lviii






the date of such Event of Default or the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. on (1) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i) or (ii), (x) the Business Day that a Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 noon or (y) if clause (x) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that a Borrower receives such notice and (2) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (iv), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer or a Swing Line Lender, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).  For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, and (with respect to any Letter of Credit) the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral for the relevant L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances or, if the Administrative Agent and each applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall agree, in their sole discretion, other credit support, in each case (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form, amount and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable (which documents are hereby consented to by the Appropriate Lenders). Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Alternative L/C Issuers and (with respect to any Letter of Credit) the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at the Administrative Agent or as otherwise permitted under any Intercreditor Agreement, and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are expressly subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all relevant L/C Obligations, a Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable.  To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the relevant Borrower.  To the extent any Event of Default giving rise to the requirement to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) is cured or otherwise waived, then so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Cash Collateral pledged to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit shall be refunded to the relevant Borrower.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and/or other obligations secured thereby, the applicable Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.  In addition, the Administrative Agent may request at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral that additional Cash Collateral be provided by the applicable Borrower in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to Letters of Credit or Alternative Letters of Credit denominated in currencies other than Dollars.
(h)Letter of Credit and Alternative Letter of Credit Fees.
(i)With respect to any Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Participating Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily stated maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided that any Letter of Credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of 
lix






Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the relevant L/C Issuer for its own account.  Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such Letter of Credit fees shall be due and payable in the Available Currency in which the applicable Letter of Credit is denominated on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(ii)With respect to any Alternative Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable Alternative L/C Issuer such fees as are agreed between the Company and such Alternative L/C Issuer.
(i)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers.  With respect to any Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to such Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the stated maximum Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit) or such other fee as agreed between the Company and the L/C Issuer.  Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such fronting fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  In addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account with respect to each Letter of Credit the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges shall be due and payable within ten Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.
(j)Conflict with Letter of Credit Application.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
(k)Addition of an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer.  A Revolving Credit Lender reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent may become an additional L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Credit Lender (which agreement shall include the Letter of Credit Sublimit for any such L/C Issuer).  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer.
(l)[Reserved.]
(m)Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.  If the Maturity Date in respect of any Participating Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other Participating Revolving Credit Commitments are then in effect (or will automatically be in effect upon such maturity), such Letter of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.03(c) and (d)) under (and ratably participated in by Participating Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to) the non-terminating Participating Revolving Credit Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Participating Revolving Credit Commitments continuing at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i) and unless provisions reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer for the treatment of such Letter of Credit as a letter of credit under a successor credit facility have been agreed upon, the Company shall, on or prior to the applicable Maturity Date, cause all such Letters of Credit to be replaced and returned to the applicable L/C Issuer undrawn and marked “cancelled” or to the extent that the Company is unable to so replace and return 
lx






any Letter(s) of Credit, such Letter(s) of Credit shall be secured by a “back to back” letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(g).  Commencing with the Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, unless otherwise set forth herein, the applicable Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be in an amount agreed solely with the applicable L/C Issuer.
(n)Letter of Credit and Alternative Letter of Credit Reports.  For so long as any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit issued by an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, is outstanding, such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of each calendar month, and on each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs with respect to any such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, a report in the form of Exhibit I, appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable.
(o)Letters of Credit and Alternative Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Loan Party (other than the Borrower), a Permitted Affiliate Parent, an Affiliate Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of a Borrower, such Loan Party, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or an Affiliate Subsidiary, each Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable,  hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit or Alternative Letters of Credit for the account of any Loan Party (other than the Borrower), a Permitted Affiliate Parent, any Affiliate Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of the Borrower, such Loan Party, a Permitted Affiliate Parent of an Affiliate Subsidiary inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Loan Party, the Company, such Permitted Affiliate Parent, such Affiliate Subsidiary and such Subsidiaries thereof.
(p)Amendments to Alternative Letters of Credit. No amendment or waiver of a term of any Alternative Letter of Credit shall require the consent of any Lender other than the relevant Alternative L/C Issuer unless such amendment or waiver itself relates to or gives rise to a matter which would require an amendment of or under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under this Section 2). In such a case, Section 10.01 will apply.
Section 1.04.Swing Line Loans.
(a)The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars to a Borrower under its applicable Revolving Credit Commitment (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”), from time to time on any Business Day during the period beginning on the Business Day after the date of the establishment hereunder and effectiveness of the relevant Participating Revolving Credit Commitments until the date which is one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date of the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments (taking into account the Maturity Date of any Participating Revolving Credit Commitment that will automatically come into effect on such Maturity 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 Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender under the applicable Facility, may exceed the amount of the Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan (i) the Revolving Credit Exposure under such Participating Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class shall not exceed the aggregate Participating Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender (other than a Swing Line Lender), plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans under the applicable Facility shall not exceed such Lender’s Participating Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; provided, further, that a Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, a Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04.  Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each 
lxi






Participating Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lenders a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of (A) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share under the applicable Facility or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement and (B) the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b)Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon a Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the applicable Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone or written Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lenders and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of that Borrower.  Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lenders and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $1,000,000 (or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof) and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the applicable Swing Line Lenders of any Swing Line Loan Notice (by telephone or in writing), the Swing Line Lenders 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 Lenders will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lenders have received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lenders 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 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lenders will not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to that Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Swing Line Lenders shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at a time when a Participating Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swing Line Lenders have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the applicable Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swing Line Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lenders to support, such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.  A Borrower shall repay to the Swing Line Lenders each Defaulting Lender’s portion (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) of each Swing Line Loan promptly following demand by the Swing Line Lenders.
(c)Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i)A Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of a Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes each Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Participating Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the amount of Swing Line Loans of that Borrower then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Participating Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.03.  The applicable Swing Line Lender shall furnish the applicable Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Participating Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice, which shall be on or after the third Business Day after the date of such notice, available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Participating Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. Upon the remittance by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender of the full amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice, that Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid the applicable Swing Line Loan.
lxii






(ii)If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by a Swing Line Lender that each of the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Participating Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)If any Participating Revolving Credit 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 Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such 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 applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  If such Participating Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan including 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 Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.04(c)(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)Each Participating Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, a Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure to satisfy any condition in Article IV, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Loan Parties, (D) any breach of this Agreement, or (E) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Participating Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) (but not to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay the applicable Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)Repayment of Participations.
(i)At any time after any Participating Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the applicable Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share under the applicable Facility or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such 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 applicable 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 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Participating Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share under the applicable Facility or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement 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 applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.
(e)Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  Each Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the relevant Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until each Participating Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
lxiii






(f)Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  A Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the applicable Swing Line Lender.
(g)Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.  If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any Participating Revolving Credit Commitments  (the “Expiring Credit Commitment”) at a time when other Participating Revolving Credit Commitments are in effect (or will automatically be in effect upon such maturity) with a longer maturity date (each a “non-Expiring Credit Commitment” and, collectively, the “non-Expiring Credit Commitments”), then each outstanding Swing Line Loan on the earliest occurring Maturity Date shall be deemed reallocated to the non-Expiring Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (i) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate credit exposure to exceed the aggregate amount of such non-Expiring Credit Commitments, immediately prior to such reallocation (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.03(m)) the amount of Swing Line Loans to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid or Cash Collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Swing Line Lender and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Borrower shall still be obligated to pay Swing Line Loans allocated to the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders holding the Expiring Credit Commitments at the Maturity Date of the Expiring Credit Commitment or if the Loans have been accelerated prior to the Maturity Date of the Expiring Credit Commitment.
(h)Addition of a Swing Line Lender.  A Participating Revolving Credit Lender reasonably acceptable to the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent may become an additional Swing Line Lender hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among such Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Participating Revolving Credit Lender (which agreement shall include the Swing Line Sublimit for such additional Swing Line Lender). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Participating Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional Swing Line Lender.
Section 1.05.Prepayments.
(a)Optional.
(i)The Borrowers may, subject to Section 2.05(a)(iii), upon notice to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class or Classes of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans of any Class or Classes in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(vi); provided that: (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:30 a.m. (1) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent) or (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding and (D) any prepayment shall be made in the currency of the applicable Loan.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by a Borrower, subject to Section 2.05(a)(iii), such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be, as set forth in Section 2.05(c), accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.10. Each prepayment of the principal of, and interest on, any Revolving Credit Loans shall be made in the relevant Available Currency.  In the case of each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a), a Borrower may in its sole discretion select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid, and such payment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement.
(ii)The Borrowers may, subject to Section 2.05(a)(iii), upon notice to the applicable 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 
lxiv






that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by a Borrower, subject to Section 2.05(a)(iii), such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, subject to the payment of any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.10, the Borrowers may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment identified in) any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the applicable Facility or was otherwise contingent upon the occurrence of any other event or satisfaction of any other condition, which refinancing or other event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed or which condition shall not have been (or in the good faith judgment of the Borrowers is not likely to be) satisfied.
(iv)Voluntary prepayments of any Class of Term Loans permitted pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) shall be applied in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrowers and specified in the notice of prepayment.
(v)Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as (x) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) only to the extent funded as a discount, no proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans are applied to fund any purchase or prepayment under subclause (ii) of this clause (v), any Borrower Party (or, in the case of a direct prepayment, the relevant Borrower) may (i) purchase outstanding Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases (pursuant to Section 10.07(l)) or (ii) prepay the outstanding Term Loans (which Term Loans shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon such purchase or prepayment), which in the case of clause (ii) only shall be prepaid without premium or penalty on the following basis:
(A)Any Borrower Party shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Loans at a discount to par pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers (any such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”), in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.05(a)(v) and without premium or penalty.
(B)  Any Borrower Party may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with five Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period as agreed by the Auction Agent) in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the applicable Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable Class, the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified Discounts or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.05(a)(v)(B)), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date.  The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”).
(2)Each Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether 
lxv






or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its applicable then outstanding Term Loans at the Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount.  Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable.  Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the applicable Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.
(3)If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the relevant Borrower Party will make a prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and Classes of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(v)(B)(2); provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”).  The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, Class and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date.  Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the applicable Borrower Party and such Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  The payment amount specified in such notice to the applicable Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(v)(F) (subject to Section 2.05(a)(v)(J)).
(C) Any Borrower Party may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five Business Days’ notice (or such shorter period as agreed by the Auction Agent) in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of such Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant Class of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by such Borrower Party (it being understood that different Discount Ranges or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.05(a)(v)(C)), (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) unless rescinded, each such solicitation by the applicable Borrower Party shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date.  The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”).  Each Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such 
lxvi






Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount.  Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.
(2)The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C).  The relevant Borrower Party agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts.  Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(v)(C)(3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Participating Lender”).
(3)If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Participating Lender, the relevant Borrower Party will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Discount Prepayment Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Discount Prepayment Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Discount Prepayment Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Discount Prepayment Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Discount Prepayment Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Discount Prepayment Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”).  The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount and the aggregate principal amount and Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Discount Prepayment Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Discount Prepayment Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration.  Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the relevant Borrower Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  The payment amount specified in such notice to the applicable Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(v)(F) (subject to Section 2.05(a)(v)(J)).
(D) Any Borrower Party may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice (or such later notice specified therein); provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of such Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender or (y) each Lender with respect to any Class of 
lxvii






Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the Class or Classes of Term Loans the applicable Borrower Party is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.05(a)(v)(D)), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) unless rescinded, each such solicitation by the applicable Borrower Party shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.  The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”).  Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount.  Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.
(2)The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the relevant Borrower Party with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.  Such Borrower Party shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the smallest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the applicable Borrower Party (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any.  If the applicable Borrower Party elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by such Borrower Party from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.05(a)(v)(D)(2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the applicable Borrower Party shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount.  If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the applicable Borrower Party by the Acceptance Date, such Borrower Party shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.
(3)Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (with the consent of such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the relevant Borrower Party at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.05(a)(v)(D).  If the applicable Borrower Party elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then such Borrower Party agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount.  Each Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lender”).  The applicable Borrower Party will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is 
lxviii






greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”).  On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Classes to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration.  Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to such Borrower Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  The payment amount specified in such notice to such Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(v)(F) (subject to Section 2.05(a)(v)(J)).
(E)In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower Parties and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require, as a condition to the applicable Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from a Borrower Party to such Auction Agent for its own account in connection therewith.
(F)If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with subsections (B) through (D) above, a Borrower Party shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date.  The relevant Borrower Party shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Discount Prepayment Participating Lenders, or Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m., on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the relevant Class(es) of Term Loans and Lenders as specified by the applicable Borrower Party in the applicable offer.  The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date.  Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(v) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Discount Prepayment Participating Lenders, or Discount Prepayment Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, and shall be applied to the relevant Term Loans of such Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable share as calculated by the Auction Agent in accordance with this Section 2.05(a)(v) and, if the Administrative Agent is not the Auction Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in relying on such calculations of the Auction Agent.  The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.
(G)To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.05(a)(v), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the applicable Borrower Party.
(H)Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.05(a)(v), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication 
lxix






actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.
(I)Each of the Borrower Parties and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.05(a)(v) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate.  The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.05(a)(v) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.
(J)Each Borrower Party shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, Discount Range Prepayment Response Date or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by such Borrower Party to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(v) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or otherwise).
(vi)In the event that, on or prior to the date falling six months after the 2021 Additional Facility Effective Date (but not otherwise), the Original Co-Borrower: (i) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Term B-6 Loans pursuant to a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iii) or Section 2.05(b)(iv) of the Amended Credit Agreement that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), other than where such prepayment is funded by the issuance of notes by the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or a special purpose vehicle which on-lends the proceeds of such notes to the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary; or (ii) effects any amendment resulting in a  Repricing Transaction, the Original Co-Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Additional Term B-6 Facility Lenders, (A) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term B-6 Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (B) in the case of clause (ii), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Term B-6 Loans of any Additional Term B-6 Facility Lender that shall have been the subject of a mandatory assignment under the Amended Credit Agreement (including pursuant to Section 3.12 of the Amended Credit Agreement) following the failure of such Additional Term B-6 Facility Lender to consent to such amendment on or prior to the date falling six months after the 2021 Additional Facility Effective Date. Such amounts shall be due and payable within five Business Days of the date of effectiveness of such  Repricing Transaction or (in the case of clause (ii), if later than the date that is five Business Days from effectiveness of the  Repricing Transaction) the date of effectiveness of such mandatory assignment.
(b)Mandatory.
(i)Subject to Section 2.05(b)(ii) below, if any member of the Restricted Group makes any Asset Disposition that results in the realization or receipt by any member of the Restricted Group of Net Available Cash, the relevant Borrowers shall cause to be prepaid on or prior to the date that is five Business Days after the realization or receipt by any member of the Restricted Group of such Net Available Cash (or, in the event of Net Available Cash which may be reinvested as set forth below in this Section 2.05(b)(i), on the date such reinvestment period expires), subject to Section 2.05(b)(vii), an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount which is the lesser of (A) the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition and (B) an amount so as to ensure that the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed 5.00 to 1.00 (on a pro forma basis after taking into account such Asset Dispositions and prepayments (but ignoring such Net Available Cash for purposes of determining compliance)); provided that at the option of the Borrowers, all or any portion of the Net Available Cash received in connection with an Asset Disposition may be used in the business of the Restricted Group, including to make acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures or operational expenditures, in each case within 12 months of such receipt, and such proceeds shall not be required to be applied to prepay the Term Loans except to the extent not, within 12 months of such receipt, so used or contractually committed to be so used (it being understood that 
lxx






if any portion of such proceeds is not so used within such 12 month period but within such 12 month period is contractually committed to be used, then if such proceeds are not so used within 180 days from the end of such 12 month period, provided that, such 180-day period may be extended if any such contractual commitment is terminated or rescinded by one additional 180-day period following the date of such termination or recission) (the “Reinvestment End Date”)), then such remaining portion shall be required to prepay the Loans (to the extent otherwise required by this Section 2.05(b)(i)), as of the date or such termination; provided, further, that, if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, any Borrower (or any member of the Restricted Group) is required to offer to prepay or repurchase other Senior Secured Indebtedness pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of such Asset Disposition (such Senior Secured Indebtedness required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrowers may apply such Net Available Cash on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided, further, that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, further, however, that no such prepayment under this Section 2.05(b)(i) shall be required where the amount of any such prepayment would be less than the greater of $200,000,000 and 3.0% of Total Assets.
(ii)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Borrower will be required to make or cause to be made any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) above if the Financial Covenant was not required to be tested for the most recent Test Period ending prior to the Reinvestment End Date.
(iii)If any member of the Restricted Group Incurs or issues any Indebtedness after the Delayed Amendment Effective Date not permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09 of Annex II, the Borrowers shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all net cash proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date that is five Business Days after receipt by such member of the Restricted Group of such net cash proceeds.
(iv)If any Borrower Incurs or issues any Refinancing Term Loans resulting in net cash proceeds (as opposed to such Refinancing Term Loans arising out of an exchange of existing Term Loans for such Refinancing Term Loans), such Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all net cash proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five Business Days after the receipt by such Borrower of such net cash proceeds.
(v)If for any reason the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations, in each case under any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments at any time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect, the relevant Borrower shall promptly prepay Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize any L/C Obligations under such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that such Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize any L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(v) unless, after giving effect to the prepayment in full of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans, the aggregate Outstanding Amount under such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class then in effect.
(vi)Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be (A) applied either (x) ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding or (y) as requested by a Borrower in the notice delivered pursuant to clause  (vii) below, to any Class or Classes of Term Loans, (B) applied, with respect to each such Class for which prepayments will be made, in a manner determined at the discretion of the applicable Borrower in the applicable notice and (C) paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share 
lxxi






provided by this Agreement) of each such Class of Term Loans, subject to Section 2.05(b)(vii).  Notwithstanding clause (A) hereinabove, (1) in the case of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(iv), such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.05(b)(vi) solely to those applicable Classes of Term Loans selected by the applicable Borrower and specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment or notice (i.e., the applicable Refinanced Debt), and (2) in the case of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) and (iii), (x) such prepayments may not be directed to a later maturing Class of Term Loans without at least a pro rata repayment of any earlier maturing Classes of Term Loans (except that any Class of Additional Facility Loans that are Term Loans, Extended Term Loans, or Refinancing Term Loans may provide in the applicable Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment (including on an optional basis as elected by the Borrower) that one or more other Classes of later maturing Term Loans may be prepaid prior to such Class of earlier maturing Term Loans), and (y) in the event that there are two or more outstanding Classes of Term Loans with the same Maturity Date, such prepayments may not be directed to any such Class of Term Loans without at least a pro rata repayment of any Classes of Term Loans maturing on the same date (except that any Class of Additional Facility Loans that are Term Loans, Extended Term Loans, or Refinancing Term Loans may provide in the applicable Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment (including on an optional basis as elected by the Borrower) that one or more other Classes of Term Loans with the same Maturity Date may be prepaid prior to such Class of Term Loans maturing on the same date).
(vii)A Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by such Borrower pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 2.05(b) at least two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent); provided that, subject to the payment when due of any amounts owing as a result thereof pursuant to Section 3.10, such Borrower may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment identified in) such notice if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of the applicable Facility or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment to be made. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the applicable Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided by this Agreement) of the prepayment.  Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided by this Agreement) of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) and Section 2.05(b)(iii) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment.  Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender.  If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.  Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to the Term Lenders not so declining such prepayment on a pro rata basis in accordance with the amounts of the Term Loans of such Lenders (with such non-declining Term Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent).  To the extent such non-declining Term Lenders elect to decline their Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided by this Agreement) of such Declined Proceeds, any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by a Borrower.
(viii)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Available Cash of any Asset Disposition by a member of the Restricted Group is prohibited or delayed by applicable local Law from being repatriated to the jurisdiction of the relevant Borrower, the portion of such Net Available Cash so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable member of the Restricted Group so long, but only so long, as the applicable local Law will not permit repatriation to the jurisdiction of the relevant Borrower (each Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable member of the Restricted Group to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Available Cash is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to such repatriated Net Available Cash will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) 
lxxii






to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided herein and (B) to the extent that a Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Available Cash of any such Asset Disposition would have material adverse tax consequences (as determined in good faith by such Borrower) with respect to such Net Available Cash, such Net Available Cash so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable member of the Restricted Group.
(ix)Upon becoming aware of a Change of Control:
(A)the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent; and
(B)if the Required Lenders so require, the Administrative Agent shall, by not less than 30 Business Days’ notice to the Company, cancel each Facility, and the Commitments thereunder and declare all outstanding Borrowings, together with accrued interest and all other amounts accrued under the Loan Documents immediately due and payable, whereupon each Facility, and the Commitments thereunder, will be cancelled and all such outstanding and accrued amounts will become immediately due and payable.
(c)Interest Funding Losses, Etc.
(i)Except to the extent otherwise agreed by each Lender so being prepaid, all prepayments of Loans (other than any Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan and any Swing Line Loan) shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the date of such prepayment, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.10.
(ii)So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05 (but excluding prepayments required under Section 2.05(b)(iv)), prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, a Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account or other blocked account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from such Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the applicable Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05.  Such deposit shall be deemed to be a prepayment of such Loans by a Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement.
Section 1.06.Termination or Reduction of Commitments.
(a)Optional.  A Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction (unless the Administrative Agent agrees to a shorter period in its discretion), (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000, or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire amount thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the applicable Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.  Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of any such Revolving Credit Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the applicable Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by a Borrower.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of any Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing 
lxxiii






of all of the applicable Facility or other conditional event, which refinancing or other event shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.
(b)Mandatory.  The Term Commitment of each Term B-5 Lender with a Term B-5 Loan Commitment was terminated on the date of the borrowing of the Term B-5 Loans.  The Term Commitment of each Term B-6 Lender with a Term B-6 Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Term B-6 Loan Commitment Termination Date. The Term Commitment of each Term Lender with respect to any Additional Facility Loan, any Refinancing Term Loan or any Term Loan Extension Series shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero upon the funding (in full, if provided for in the applicable Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment) of Term Loans to be made by it on the date set forth in the corresponding Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment. The Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Maturity Date for the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (x) the foregoing shall not release any Revolving Credit Lender from any liability it may have for its failure to fund Revolving Credit Loans, L/C Advances or participations in Swing Line Loans that were required to be funded by it on or prior to such Maturity Date and (y) the foregoing will not release any Revolving Credit Lender from any obligation to fund its portion of L/C Advances or participations in Swing Line Loans with respect to Letters of Credit issued or Swing Line Loans made prior to such Maturity Date.  Each Additional Facility Commitment shall terminate on the date specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement.
(c)Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the applicable Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06.  Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.12).  All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
(d)Treatment of Classes.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 2.06, an Initial Borrower may elect, in its discretion, to terminate the unused amount of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused amount of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, in accordance with the provisions of clause (a) of this Section 2.06 on a non-pro rata basis with any other Class of Revolving Credit Commitments. In connection with any proposed reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated in this Section 2.06(d), each of the participations in each Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit granted to and acquired by the Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitments are the subject of the proposed reduction or termination shall, so long as the Revolving Credit Commitments shall remain outstanding, be reallocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitments shall remain outstanding in accordance with such Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares of such Revolving Credit Commitments (determined after giving effect to any such reduction or termination); provided that to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders (or any one of them) to exceed the aggregate amount of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (or the Revolving Credit Commitments of any one Revolving Credit Lender), immediately prior to such reallocation (determined after giving effect to any such reduction or termination), the amount of the Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid (if a Swing Line Loan) or Cash Collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Swing Line Lender or L/C Issuer (or Alternative L/C Issuer), as applicable.
Section 1.07.Repayment of Loans.
(a)Term Loans.

(ii)The amount of any such payment set forth in clause (i) above shall be adjusted to account for the addition of any Extended Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loans to 
lxxiv






contemplate (A) the reduction in the aggregate principal amount of any Term Loans that were paid down in connection with the Incurrence of such Extended Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loans, and (B) any increase to payments to the extent and as required pursuant to the terms of any applicable Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment.

(c)Swing Line Loans. The Borrowers shall repay the aggregate principal amount of each Swing Line Loan (i) on the earlier to occur of (A) the date five Business Days after such Loan is made and (B) the Latest Maturity Date for the Participating Revolving Credit Commitments of the relevant Class or (ii) otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment.
Section 1.08.Interest.
(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b): (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the relevant Class of Revolving Credit Loans.
(b)During the continuance of a Default under Section 8.01(a), each Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts owing by it hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; provided that no interest at the Default Rate shall accrue or be payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.  Accrued and unpaid interest on such amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c)Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.

(a)Commitment Fee.  The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender under each Class of Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement, a commitment fee equal to the product of the Applicable Rate with respect to unused Revolving Credit Commitment fees for such Class and the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment for the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans for such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations for such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Credit 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 Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise 
lxxv






have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such time; provided, further, that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.  The commitment fee on each Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (unless otherwise specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment) shall accrue at all times starting from the first day of the Revolving Credit Availability Period for such Class, until the earlier of (x) the last day of the Revolving Credit Availability Period for such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the date of the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable (i) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date during the first full fiscal quarter to occur after the first day of the Revolving Credit Availability Period for such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, and (ii) on the earlier of (x) the Maturity Date for such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the date of the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class.  The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(b)Other Fees.  Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers, as applicable, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon with such Persons in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between such Borrower and the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers, as applicable).
(c)Additional Facility Fees. If specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement or related fee letter, Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of each Lender under the relevant Additional Facility) an upfront fee computed at the rate specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement on that Lender’s Commitment under that Additional Facility in accordance with the terms therein.
Section 1.10.Computation of Interest and Fees.
All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate or the prime rate) or Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Sterling shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is repaid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. In computing interest on any Loan, in each case as applicable, the day such Loan is made (or converted to a Loan of a different Type) shall be included and the day such Loan is repaid (or converted to a Loan of a different Type) shall be excluded. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of interest or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 1.11.Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a)The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of United States Department of the Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as non-fiduciary agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse 
lxxvi






thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b)In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a) or Section 10.07(d), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
(c)Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b) or Section 10.07(d), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 1.12.Payments Generally.
(a)All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to payments in an Available Currency  (and payments in respect of Alternative Letters of Credit), all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and with respect to payments in respect of Alternative Letters of Credit, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder in an Available Currency (other than Dollars) shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in such Available Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the dates specified herein.  If, for any reason, the Borrowers are prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Available Currency (other than Dollars), except in respect of Alternative Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent, as calculated by the Company, of the Available Currency payment amount.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer (or as otherwise agreed between the Administrative Agent and such Lender) to such Lender’s applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m. in the case of Dollars or (ii) after 2:00 pm (London time) in the case of payments in an Available Currency (other than Dollars), shall, in each case, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue to, but excluding, such next succeeding Business Day. Payments owing to an Alternative L/C Issuer in respect of reimbursement obligations under an Alternative Letter of Credit shall, to the extent not paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, be made directly by the relevant Borrower to such Alternative L/C Issuer.
(b)If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c)Unless a Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount 
lxxvii






to the Person entitled thereto.  If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:
(i)if a Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii)if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to a Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.  When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing.  If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d)If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV or in the applicable Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(e)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.
(f)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
(g)Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03.  If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law), but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.
lxxviii






Section 1.13.Sharing of Payments.  If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein or required by court order, any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal or interest on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of any principal or interest on such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder or (C) any receipt or recovery by a Lender in its capacity as an Alternative L/C Issuer at any time prior to the Administrative Agent having exercised any of its rights under Section 8.02 or Section 2.05(b)(ix)(B) (an “Acceleration Event”); provided that, following the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to all receipts and recoveries by Alternative L/C Issuers.  Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.  The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.  Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.  For purposes of subclause (e)(i) of the definition of “Indemnified Taxes”, a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) and/or Loan(s) to which such participation relates.
Section 1.14.Additional Facilities.
(a)By at least two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree), and pursuant to the terms and conditions in this Section 2.14 and in the applicable Additional Facility Joinder Agreement or Increase Confirmation, an Additional Facility or an Increase (as defined below) may be provided to any Loan Party in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Additional Facility Available Amount (as determined on the date of Incurrence thereof); provided that (i) on the date of the proposed Additional Facility Loan all representations and warranties to be made in a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with Section 4.03 are true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, after giving effect to any qualification therein, in all respects) on and as of the date of the proposed Additional Facility Loan with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to any such representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, after giving effect to any qualification therein, in all respects) as of such earlier date, and (ii) no Event of Default is continuing on such date or would occur after giving effect to the proposed advance; provided, further, that in connection with any Additional Facility the primary purpose of which is to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, the conditions set forth in Section 2.14(a)(i) and (ii) shall not be required to be satisfied (other than to the extent required by the Additional Facility Lenders party thereto).
lxxix






(b)Any person may become a Lender under this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent an Additional Facility Joinder Agreement which must be duly executed by that person, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower and the applicable Additional Borrower, if any. That person shall become a Lender on the date specified in the Additional Facility Joinder Agreement.  Additional Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender, but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make an Additional Facility Commitment nor will the applicable Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lender to provide any Additional Facility Commitment.
(c)Upon the relevant person becoming a Lender, the total of the Commitments under this Agreement shall be increased by the amount set out in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement as that Lender’s Additional Facility Commitment.
(d)Each Lender under an Additional Facility will grant to the applicable Borrower a term or revolving loan facility in the amount specified in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement during the Additional Facility Availability Period specified in the Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(e)No Additional Facility shall have the benefit of any guarantee unless the existing Lenders also share in such guarantee. The execution by the applicable Borrower, the Guarantors and the relevant Additional Borrower of the Additional Facility Joinder Agreement shall constitute confirmation by each Guarantor that its obligations under the Guaranty shall extend to the total of the Commitments as increased by the addition of the relevant Lender’s Commitment and shall be owed to each Secured Party including the relevant Lender but otherwise shall continue unaffected.
(f)The aggregate amount of all outstanding Additional Facility Loans under an Additional Facility shall not at any time exceed the relevant Total Additional Facility Commitments for that Additional Facility.
(g)The aggregate amount of the participations of a Lender in Additional Facility Loans under an Additional Facility shall not at any time exceed that Lender’s Additional Facility Commitment for that Additional Facility at that time.
(h)No Additional Facility shall have the benefit of any security unless the existing Lenders also share in such security (except in the case of a security interest in any Escrow Account relating to an Additional Facility during the escrow period applicable to such Additional Facility); provided that the Additional Facility Borrowers and the relevant Additional Facility Lender may agree that an Additional Facility shares in the Collateral on a junior basis to the other Facilities. The effectiveness of an Additional Facility shall be subject to customary reaffirmation in respect of any Collateral Documents and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, delivery of a written opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(i)in respect of each Additional Facility:
(i)each Additional Facility Borrower for that Additional Facility is a Loan Party;
(ii)the principal amount, interest rate, interest periods, Latest Maturity Date, use of proceeds, repayment schedule, availability, fees, incorporation of relevant clauses relating to, or in connection with, any Additional Facility and related provisions, and the currency of that Additional Facility shall be agreed by the relevant Additional Facility Borrowers and the relevant Additional Facility Lenders (and, in the case of currency and incorporation of the relevant clauses relating to, or in connection with, any Additional Facility which is a revolving facility, the Administrative Agent) and set out in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement;
(iii)the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement shall specify whether that Additional Facility is in form of a term loan or a revolving loan;
(iv)notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) any Additional Revolving Facility may provide for the ability on a voluntary basis to permanently repay and terminate or reduce any Revolving Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis, less than or greater than a pro rata basis with other outstanding revolving Facilities hereunder and (B) any Additional 
lxxx






Facility Loan in the form of a term loan may participate on a pro rata basis, less than or greater than a pro rata basis in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term  Loans;
(v)the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of any Additional Revolving Facility may, at the election of the Company, be designated as Financial Covenant Revolving Credit Commitments;
(vi)each Additional Facility Joinder Agreement may provide for the consent of the Additional Facility Lenders under the applicable Additional Facility (including any Increase in respect thereof) to one or more amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (in addition to those amendments contemplated by Section 2.14(o)), and each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that such consent shall be binding on all Additional Facility Lenders in respect of such Additional Facility and shall be counted for purposes of the definition of determining whether the consent of the Required Lenders, Required Class Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders and affected Lenders has been obtained, and for all other relevant purposes under Section 10.01; and
(vii)subject to sub-clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, the general terms of that Additional Facility shall be consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement.
(j)The Borrowers may pay to any Additional Facility Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed between the applicable Borrower and that Additional Facility Lender.
(k)Each Additional Facility Lender shall become a party to this Agreement and be entitled to share in the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any applicable Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents pari passu with the Lenders under the other Facilities; provided that the Additional Facility Borrowers and the relevant Additional Facility Lender may agree that an Additional Facility shares in the Collateral on a junior basis to the other Facilities which, if so agreed, shall be set out in the relevant Additional Facility Joinder Agreement.  In addition, each Additional Facility Lender shall be subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement or enter into equivalent intercreditor arrangements having a similar effect.
(l)Each party to this Agreement (other than each proposed Additional Facility Lender, the applicable Borrower and each Additional Facility Borrower) irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to execute on its behalf any Additional Facility Joinder Agreement which has been duly completed and signed on behalf of each proposed Additional Facility Lender, the applicable Borrower and each proposed Additional Facility Borrower and each Loan Party agrees to be bound by such joinder.
(m)On the Additional Facility Commencement Date:
(i)each Additional Facility Lender party to that Additional Facility Joinder Agreement, each other Finance Party and the Loan Parties shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had each Additional Facility Lender been a Lender immediately prior to the Additional Facility Commencement Date with the rights and/or obligations assumed by it as a result of that accession and with the Commitment specified by it as its Additional Facility Commitment; and
(ii)each Additional Facility Lender shall become a party to this Agreement as an “Additional Facility Lender”.
(n)[Reserved.]
(o)With the prior written consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent is authorized and instructed to enter into such documentation as is reasonably required to amend this Agreement and any other Loan Document (in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.14) to reflect the terms of each Additional Facility without the consent of any Lender other than each applicable Additional Facility Lender, including amendments as deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment to effect any lien or payment subordination and associated rights of the applicable Lenders to the extent any Additional Facilities are to rank junior in right of security or payment or to address technical issues relating to funding and payments.
lxxxi






(p)This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 10.01 to the contrary.
(q)The facilities under which any Term Commitments or Revolving Credit Commitments  have been made available may be increased by any amount (an “Increase”) which shall not exceed the Additional Facility Available Amount by the execution by any Lender or Additional Facility Lender of one or more Additional Facility Joinder Agreements or Increase Confirmations (under which the Maturity Date, Applicable Rate and any other economic terms applicable to the relevant Additional Facility Commitments are the same as those applicable to the existing Term Commitments or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable).  Following any such Increase, references to Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, and the Lenders in respect of the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, shall include Lenders and Loans made under any such Additional Facility Joinder Agreements or Increase Confirmations. In respect of any such Increase:
(i)(A) on the date of the proposed Increase, all representations and warranties to be made in a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with Section 4.03 shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, after giving effect to any qualification therein, in all respects) on and as of the date of the proposed Increase with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, with respect to any such representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, after giving effect to any qualification therein, in all respects) as of such earlier date, and (B) no Event of Default is continuing on such date or would occur after giving effect to the proposed advance; provided that, in connection with any such Increase the primary purpose of which is to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, the conditions set forth in this Section 2.14(q)(i) and foregoing clauses (A) and (B) shall not be required to be satisfied (other than to the extent required by any Lender or Additional Facility Lender in respect of such Increase);
(ii)each party to this Agreement (other than the relevant Lender or Additional Facility Lender and the applicable Borrower) irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to execute on its behalf any Additional Facility Joinder Agreement or Increase Confirmation which has been duly completed and signed on behalf of each Lender or proposed Additional Facility Lender, the applicable Borrower and each Loan Party agrees to be bound by such joinder; and
(iii)with the prior written consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent is authorized and instructed to enter into such documentation as is reasonably required to amend this Agreement and any other Loan Document (in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.14) to reflect the terms of each Increase without the consent of any Lender other than each applicable Additional Facility Lender.
(r)Upon any Additional Facility Commencement Date on which Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of an Additional Revolving Facility (the “Additional Revolving Credit Commitments”) are effected through an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to any existing Facility (the “Original Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to this Section 2.14, (a) each of the Revolving Credit Lenders under such Facility shall assign to each of the Additional Lenders under such Additional Revolving Facility (the “Additional Revolving Credit Lenders”), and each of the Additional Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Additional Facility Commencement Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and Additional Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Company may agree to give effect to the foregoing provisions on or after the next Interest Payment Date with respect to any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding under the Original Revolving Credit Facility on the Additional Facility Commencement Date.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing and prepayment requirements in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 1.15.Refinancing Amendments.
(a)The Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender or any other bank, financial institution or other institutional lender or investor that agrees to provide any portion of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the form of Refinancing Term Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.15 (each, an “Additional Refinancing Lender”) (provided that (i) solely with respect to Other Revolving Credit Commitments and Other Revolving Credit Loans, the Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Refinancing Lender’s providing such Other Revolving Credit Commitments to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments to such Lender or Additional Refinancing Lender, unless such Lender or Additional Refinancing Lender is an existing Revolving Credit Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of an existing Revolving Credit Lender, (ii) with respect to Refinancing Term Loans, any Affiliated Lender providing Refinancing Term Loans shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(k) as they would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Term Loans and (iii) Affiliated Lenders may not provide Other Revolving Credit Commitments), in respect of all or any portion of any Class, series or tranche, as selected by the Borrowers in their sole discretion without prejudice to Section 2.05(a)(i), of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) or Additional Facility Commitments then outstanding under this Agreement, in the form of Refinancing Term Loans, Refinancing Term Commitments, Other Revolving Credit Commitments, or Other Revolving Credit Loans, in each case, constituting Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15 or otherwise, (A) the borrowing and repayment (except for (1) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Other Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (2) repayments required upon the maturity date of the Other Revolving Credit Commitments, (3) repayments made in connection with any refinancing of Other Revolving Credit Commitments and (4) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (C) below)) of Loans with respect to Other Revolving Credit Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of repayment, on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis) with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(m) and Section 2.04(g) to the extent dealing with Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Other Revolving Credit Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments existing on the date such Other Revolving Credit Commitments are obtained (and except as provided in Section 2.03(m) and Section 2.04(g), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (C) the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination of, Other Revolving Credit Commitments after the date of obtaining any Other Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis, less than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments and (D) assignments and participations of Other Revolving Credit Commitments and Other Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans existing on the date such Other Revolving Credit Commitments are obtained.
(b)The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the 2020 Amendment Effective Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.
(c)Each Refinancing Series shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1,000,000 in the case of an Other Revolving Credit Commitment and $15,000,000 in the case of a Refinancing Term Commitment; provided that such amounts may be less than $1,000,000 and $15,000,000, respectively, if such amount is equal to (i) the entire outstanding principal amount of the

Section 1.16.Extension of Term Loans; Extension of Revolving Credit Loans.
(a)Extension of Term Loans.  The applicable Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any given Class (or series or tranche thereof) selected by it in its sole discretion (an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended, converted or exchanged to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, extended, or converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16.  In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the applicable Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (i) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other similar fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with all relevant Lenders) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (ii) be identical to the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are intended to be amended, except that: (A) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans, if any, may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (B) the All-In Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, OID or otherwise) may be different than the All-In Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (C) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (D) Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may be agreed by the applicable Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans were amended are repaid in full, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of such Term Loans; provided that (1) subject to the Permitted Earlier Maturity Indebtedness Exception, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans (to the extent they are unsecured) of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are amended, (2) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (3) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than or greater than a pro rata basis in any voluntary repayments or prepayments of principal of Term Loans hereunder and on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis except in the case of a prepayment under Section 2.05(b)(iv) and Section 2.05(b)(vi)(A)(2)), in any mandatory repayments or prepayments of Term 
lxxxiv






Loans hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche.  The applicable Borrower may impose an Extension Minimum Condition with respect to any Term Loan Extension Request, which may be waived by such Borrower in its sole discretion.
(b)Extension of Revolving Credit Commitments.  The applicable Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any given Class (or series or tranche thereof) selected by it in its sole discretion (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended, converted or exchanged to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so amended, converted or exchanged “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16.  In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the applicable Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which shall (i) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with all relevant Lenders) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (ii) be identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments are to be amended, except that: (A) the Maturity Date of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (B) the All-In Yield with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, OID or otherwise) may be different than the All-In Yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (C) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments); and (D) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (1) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and (2) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments); provided that (A) in no event shall the Maturity Date of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder and (B) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing.  Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. The applicable Borrower may impose an Extension Minimum Condition with respect to any Revolver Extension Request, which may be waived by such Borrower in its sole discretion.
(c)Extension Request.  The applicable Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least two Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16.  No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Credit Commitments of any Existing Revolver Tranche amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request.  Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche (each, an “Extending 
lxxxv






Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Credit Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, 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 Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent).  In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Credit Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.
(d)Extension Amendment.  Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (including incorporating a new tranche of Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in accordance with the Extension Election by the Extending Term Lenders and/or the Extending Revolving Credit Lenders) (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.16(a) or (b), respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender).  The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the 2020 Amendment Effective Date (conformed as appropriate) other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, Incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.07 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans required to be paid thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.07), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.05 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) address technical issues relating to funding and payments and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.
(e)No conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension in accordance with this Section 2.16 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.
(f)This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.
lxxxvi






(g)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 2.16 will be construed to limit the provisions in Section 2.14.
Section 1.17.Defaulting Lenders.
(a)Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)Waivers and Amendments.  That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.
(ii)Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to an L/C Issuer or a Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an L/C Issuer or a Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Company may request, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender.  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 post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)Certain Fees.  That Defaulting Lender (A) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or 2.09(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the applicable Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (B) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).
(iv)Reallocation of Pro Rata Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Pro Rata Share” of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations shall be computed without giving effect to the Participating Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (B) the aggregate obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Participating 
lxxxvii






Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of that Non-Defaulting Lender under such Participating Revolving Credit Commitments. Subject to Section 2.19, 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.
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Company, the Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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 that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon that 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 Company while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)Termination of Revolving Credit Commitments.  The Borrowers shall have the right to terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.06 solely to the extent such termination does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Class to exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class.
Section 1.18.General limitation on each Borrower’s Obligation
In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other applicable Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability hereunder, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
Section 1.19.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA 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 EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA 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 EEA 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; or
lxxxviii






(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
Section 1.01.Taxes.
(a)Save in respect of any payments in connection with any Loan to a UK Borrower (a “UK Payment”) (to which Section 3.02 shall apply in place of this Section 3.01(a)) or to an Irish Borrower (an “Irish Payment”) (to which Section 3.02 shall apply in place of this Section 3.01(a)) or to a Belgian Borrower (a “Belgian Payment”) (to which Section 3.03 shall apply in place of this section 3.01(a)), and except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments made by or on account of each Borrower (the term Borrower under Article III being deemed to include any Loan Party or Subsidiary of such Loan Party for whose account a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit is issued) or Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made without any deduction for Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Laws to make a deduction, (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by any Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums paid under this Section 3.01(a)), each Lender (or, in the case of a payment made to the Administrative Agent, an Arranger or a Bookrunner for its own account, the Administrative Agent or such Arranger or Bookrunner) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction been required, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority within the time limit allowed in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within 30 days, as soon as possible thereafter), if any Loan Party is the applicable withholding agent, it shall furnish to such Finance Party (as the case may be) the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence acceptable to such Finance Party (acting reasonably).
(b)In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording Taxes, imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document excluding, in each case, any of the following:
(i)any such Taxes imposed as a result of a Finance Party’s Assignment and Assumption, grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document, except where such Assignment and Assumption, participation, transfer, assignment or designation, is requested or required in writing by a Borrower;
(ii)any such Taxes imposed as a result of a Finance Party voluntarily registering or filing a Loan Document with any Governmental Authority if such registration or filing was not necessary to enforce, prove, maintain or otherwise assert the rights of such Finance Party under a Loan Document; and
(iii)any increased amount of, or any penalties or interest relating to, such Taxes, to the extent the increase, penalty or interest is incurred as a result of any such Taxes not being paid at the time of the relevant filing or registration of the Loan Document except where such increase or penalties are caused by the unreasonable failure or delay by the Borrower,
all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”.
(c)Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify each Finance Party against (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes payable by such Finance Party (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01), (ii) Other Taxes payable by such Loan Party pursuant to Section 3.01(b), and (iii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and 
lxxxix






delivered by such Finance Party (acting reasonably) (or by Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender) to the Company, accompanied by a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This Section 3.01(c) shall not be construed to require any Finance Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.
(d)For the avoidance of doubt this Section 3.01(d) shall not apply in respect of Irish Payments or UK Payments, which are dealt with in Section 3.02. Each Finance Party shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, promptly provide that Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any certificate or other properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by that Borrower or the Administrative Agent that establishes, as applicable, whether such Finance Party is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty or other provision of applicable Law with respect to any payments hereunder to be exempt from, or entitled to a reduced rate of, Tax on payments hereunder.  Each such Finance Party shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly and on or before the date such documentation expires, becomes obsolete or inaccurate, to that Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by that Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify that Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. In addition, any Finance Party, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable a Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Finance Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Finance Party are not subject to withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty or under any provision of applicable Law, the applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, a Finance Party and any Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in completing any reasonable procedural formalities necessary for that Loan Party to obtain authorization to make a payment to that Finance Party either without a deduction, with a deduction at a reduced Tax rate or at a reduced rate by an applicable tax treaty, including, if applicable, making any necessary registrations or filings with the tax authorities of the jurisdiction of incorporation of that Loan Party.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.01(d), a Finance Party shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) that such Finance Party is not legally eligible to deliver.
Without limiting the foregoing:
(i)Each Lender that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; provided that if the Lender is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it shall provide the appropriate withholding form of its owner that is regarded for U.S federal income tax purposes (together with supporting documentation).
(ii)Each Lender that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(B)two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),
(C)in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (1) a certificate substantially in 
xc






the form of Exhibit G hereto (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (2) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any successor forms),
(D)to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a Participant holding a participation granted by a participating Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (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 United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such partner(s)), or
(E)two properly completed and duly signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the United States Department of the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.
(iii)Each of the Agent Parties that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-9 with respect to fees received for its own account, certifying that such Agent Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.  Each Agent Party that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly signed copies of an applicable IRS Form W-8 with respect to fees received for its own account.
(e)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Laws and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 3.01(e), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a Loan Party may make any FATCA deduction it is required to make and any payment required in connection with FATCA deduction, and no Loan Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for FATCA.
(f)Any Finance Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.01 or a Tax Payment shall use its reasonable efforts to mitigate or reduce the additional amounts payable, which reasonable efforts may include a change of Lending Office (or any other measures reasonably requested by the Company) if such a change or other measures would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Finance Party (acting reasonably), result in any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(g)If any Finance Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnification or additional amounts paid by such Loan Party under this Section 3.01(g) with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Lender or Administrative  Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund net of any Taxes payable by any Administrative Agent or Lender on such interest); provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agree promptly to return such refund 
xci






(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(g), in no event will a Finance Party be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01(g) the payment of which would place the Finance Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Finance Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 3.01(g) shall not be construed to require any Finance Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.
(h)For the avoidance of doubt, the terms “Lender” and “Finance Party” shall, for purposes of this Section 3.01 and the definition of “Indemnified Taxes”, include any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender.
Section 1.02.Irish & U.K. Taxes.
(a)Each Irish Payment and each UK Payment made by a Loan Party under a Loan Document shall be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by Law.
(b)As soon as it becomes aware that it is or will be required by Law to make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate at which or the basis on which such Tax Deduction is to be made) the relevant Loan Party shall notify the Administrative Agent accordingly.  Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the relevant Loan Party upon becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender.
(c)If a Tax Deduction is required by Law to be made by a Loan Party, the amount of the payment due shall, unless Section 3.02(f) or Section 3.02(g) applies, be increased to an amount so that, after the required Tax Deduction is made, the payee receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no Tax Deduction been required.
(d)If a Tax Deduction is required by Law to be made by the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee (other than by reason of the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee performing its obligations as such under this Agreement through an office located outside the United Kingdom) from any payment to any Finance Party which represents an amount or amounts received from a Loan Party, that Loan Party shall, unless Section 3.02(f) applies, pay directly to that Finance Party an amount which, after making the required Tax Deduction enables the payee of that amount to receive an amount equal to the payment which it would have received if no Tax Deduction had been required.
(e)If a Tax Deduction is required by Law to be made by the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee from any payment to any Finance Party under Section 3.02 (d), the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee as appropriate shall unless Section 3.02(f) below applies, make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by Law and within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee making that Tax Deduction or other payment shall deliver to the relevant Loan Party evidence that the Tax Deduction or other payment has been made or accounted for to the relevant tax authority.
(f)No Loan Party is required to make a Tax Payment to a Lender under Section 3.02(c) or Section 3.02(d) for a Tax Deduction in respect of Tax imposed by the United Kingdom on a payment of interest by a UK Borrower in respect of a participation in a Loan by that Lender to the UK Borrower where that Lender is not a UK Qualifying Lender on the date on which the relevant payment of interest is due (otherwise than as a consequence of a Change in Tax Law) to the extent that payment could have been made without a Tax Deduction if that Lender had been a UK Qualifying Lender on that date.
(g)No Loan Party is required to make a Tax Payment to a Lender under Section 3.02(c) or Section 3.02(d) for a Tax Deduction in respect of Tax imposed by Ireland on a payment of interest by an Irish Borrower in respect of a participation in a Loan by that Lender to the Irish Borrower where (i) that Lender is not an Irish Qualifying Lender on the date on which the relevant payment of interest 
xcii






is due (otherwise than as a consequence of a Change in Tax Law) to the extent that payment could have been made without a Tax Deduction if that Lender had been an Irish Qualifying Lender on that date or (ii) that Lender is an Irish Qualifying Lender solely on account of being an Irish Treaty Lender and such Loan Party could have made the payment to the Lender without a Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Part 2 of Section 3.04(d).
(h)The relevant Loan Party which is required to make a Tax Deduction shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by Law.
(i)Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the relevant Loan Party making that Tax Deduction or other payment shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the interest to which such Tax Deduction or payment relates, evidence that the Tax Deduction or other payment has been made or accounted for to the relevant tax authority.
Section 1.03.Belgian Taxes
(a)Each Belgian Payment made by a Loan Party under a Loan Document shall be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by Law.

Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the relevant Loan Party upon becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender.
(c)If a Tax Deduction is required by Law to be made by a Loan Party, the amount of the payment due shall, unless Section 3.03(f) applies, be increased to an amount so that, after the required Tax Deduction is made, the payee receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no Tax Deduction been required.
(d)If a Tax Deduction is required by Law to be made by the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee from any payment to any Finance Party which represents an amount or amounts received from a Loan Party, that Loan Party shall, unless Section 3.03(f) applies, pay directly to that Finance Party an amount which, after making the required Tax Deduction enables the payee of that amount to receive an amount equal to the payment which it would have received if no Tax Deduction had been required.
(e)If a Tax Deduction is required by Law to be made by the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee from any payment to any Finance Party under Section 3.03(d), the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee as appropriate shall unless Section 3.03(f) applies, make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by Law and within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee making that Tax Deduction or other payment shall deliver to the relevant Loan Party evidence that the Tax Deduction or other payment has been made or accounted for to the relevant tax authority.

(g)The relevant Loan Party which is required to make a Tax Deduction shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by Law.
xciii






(h)Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the relevant Loan Party making that Tax Deduction or other payment shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the interest to which such Tax Deduction or payment relates, evidence that the Tax Deduction or other payment has been made or accounted for to the relevant tax authority.
(i)In respect of each Belgian Payment made by a Loan Party under a Loan Document, such Loan Party will be entitled to request and obtain within a reasonable time frame which will be no longer than 3 months, from the L/C Issuers all information necessary in order to allow it to fulfil its obligations under Article 307 Belgian Income Tax Code 1992 and Article 179 of the Royal decree implementing the Belgian Income tax Code 1992 regarding the requirement to declare to the Belgian tax authorities by way of the form 275 F payments directly or indirectly made to beneficiaries listed on these Belgian tax provisions.
Section 1.04.Lender Tax Status
Part 1 - UK
(a)Each Lender in respect of a Loan to a UK Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and to each UK Borrower:
(i)in the case of a Lender party to this Agreement at the 2020 Amendment Effective Date, that as at the 2020 Amendment Effective Date, it has the tax status set out opposite its name in Part A of Schedule III; or
(ii)in the case of any other Lender, that as at the relevant effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption or the relevant effective date specified in each Increase Confirmation, it is:
(A)a UK Bank Lender;
(B)a UK Non-Bank Lender and falls within paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition thereof; or
(C)a UK Treaty Lender,
as the same shall be expressly indicated in the relevant Assignment and Assumption or Increase Confirmation.
(b)Each Lender expressed to be a “UK Non-Bank Lender” in Part A of Schedule III (Lender Tax Status) or in the Assignment and Assumption or Increase Confirmation pursuant to which it becomes a Lender represents and warrants to:
(i)the Administrative Agent and to each UK Borrower, on the 2020 Amendment Effective Date, or on the relevant effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption or the relevant effective date specified in each Increase Confirmation (as the case may be) that it is within paragraph (a) of the definition of UK Non-Bank Lender on that date (unless, if it is not within such paragraph (a), it is within paragraph (b) of such definition on that date, and has notified the Administrative Agent of the circumstances by virtue of which it falls within such paragraph (b) and has provided evidence of the same to each UK Borrower if and to the extent requested to do so, by the Administrative Agent or a UK Borrower; and
(ii)the Administrative Agent and to each UK Borrower, that unless it notifies the Administrative Agent and each UK Borrower to the contrary in writing prior to any such date, its representation and warranty in paragraph (i) above is true in relation to that Lender’s participation in each Loan made to a UK Borrower, on each date that the relevant UK Borrower makes a payment of interest in relation to such Loan.
(c)    A Lender which becomes a Party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the 
xciv






Administrative Agent and without liability to any Loan Party) by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Part A of Schedule III.
(ii)A new lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Loan Party) by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Assignment and Assumption or Increase Confirmation which it executes.
(iii)If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) or paragraph (c)(ii) above, then no Loan Party shall make any filing under or in relation to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless that Lender otherwise agrees.
(iv)Each Loan Party that makes a UK Payment to which that Lender is entitled shall cooperate with the Lender in completing any procedural formalities as may be necessary for the relevant Loan Party to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction (including where a Lender includes the indication described in paragraphs (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above, filing with HMRC, within any applicable time limit, a form DTTP2 or such equivalent or other HMRC form(s) as may be required to be filed pursuant to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme in respect of that Lender, completed in accordance with the information provided by that Lender); provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph (c)(i) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information or information regarding its business, tax affairs or tax computations (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations).
(d)    If, in relation to any interest payment to a Lender on a Loan:
(A)that Lender has confirmed to the UK Borrower and to the Administrative Agent before that interest payment would otherwise fall due that:
(1)it has completed, where applicable, the necessary procedural formalities referred to in, and otherwise complied with, paragraph (c) above; and
(2)H.M. Revenue & Customs has not declined to issue the authorisation referred to in the definition of “UK Treaty Lender” (the “Authorisation”) to that Lender in relation to that Loan, or if H.M. Revenue & Customs has declined, the Lender is disputing that decision in good faith; and
(B)the UK Borrower has not received the Authorisation,
then, such Lender may elect, by not less than five Business Days prior confirmation in writing to the Administrative Agent, that such interest payment (the “Relevant Interest Payment”) shall not be due and payable under Section 2.08(c) until the date which is five Business Days after the earlier of:
(C)the date on which the Authorisation is received by the relevant UK Borrower;
(D)the date that Lender confirms to the relevant UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not entitled to claim full relief from liability to taxation otherwise imposed by the United Kingdom (in relation to that Lender’s participation in Loans made to the Borrower) on interest under a Double Taxation Treaty in relation to the Relevant Interest Payment; and
(E)the earlier of (I) the date which is 6 months after the date on which the Relevant Interest Payment had otherwise been due and payable and (II) the date of final repayment (whether scheduled, voluntary or mandatory) of principal in respect of the Relevant Interest Payment.
(ii)For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that sub-paragraph (i) above applies, the Interest Period to which the Relevant Interest Payment relates shall not be extended and the start of the immediately succeeding Interest Period shall not be delayed.
xcv






(e)Any Lender which was a UK Qualifying Lender when it became party to this Agreement but subsequently ceases to be a UK Qualifying Lender (other than by reason of a Change in Tax Law) shall promptly notify each UK Borrower of that event, provided that if there is a Change in Tax Law which in the reasonable opinion of the relevant UK Borrower may result in any Lender which was a UK Qualifying Lender when it became a party to this Agreement ceasing to be a UK Qualifying Lender, such UK Qualifying Lender shall co-operate with each UK Borrower and provide reasonable evidence requested by each UK Borrower in order for the UK Borrower to determine whether such Lender has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph (e) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information or information regarding its business, tax affairs or tax computations (including without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations).
(f)For the purposes of paragraphs (a) to (e) above, each Lender shall promptly deliver such documents evidencing its corporate and tax status as the Administrative Agent or the relevant UK Borrower may reasonably request, provided that in the event that any Lender fails to comply with the foregoing requirement, the UK Borrower shall be permitted:
(i)to withhold and retain an amount in respect of the applicable withholding tax estimated in good faith by the applicable Borrower to be required to be withheld in respect of interest payable to such Lender; or
(ii)subject to the provisions of paragraph (a) of Section 10.07, to refuse to grant its consent to such transfer.
(g)In the event that either the Administrative Agent or any UK Borrower has reason to believe that any representation given by a Lender in accordance with Part 1 of this Section 3.04 is incorrect or inaccurate, the Administrative Agent or the relevant UK Borrower (as the case may be) shall promptly inform the other party and the relevant Lender, and may thereafter request such documents relating to the corporate and tax status of such Lender as the Administrative Agent or the UK Borrower may reasonably require for the purposes of determining whether or not such representation was indeed incorrect.
Part 2 – Irish
(a)Each Lender in respect of a Loan to an Irish Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and to each Irish Borrower:
(i)in the case of a Lender party to this Agreement at the 2020 Amendment Effective Date that, where there is an Irish Borrower (whether as at the 2020 Amendment Effective Date or at any time thereafter), such Lender will provide its tax status set out opposite its name in the form of in Part B of Schedule III; or
(ii)in the case of any other Lender, where there is an Irish Borrower, that as at the relevant effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption or the relevant effective date specified in each Increase Confirmation, such Lender will provide that it is:
(A)not an Irish Qualifying Lender
(B)an Irish Qualifying Lender (other than solely on account of being an Irish Treaty Lender)
(C)an Irish Qualifying Lender (solely on account of being an Irish Treaty Lender),
as the same shall be expressly indicated in the relevant Assignment and Assumption or Increase Confirmation; provided that if there is not an Irish Borrower as at the effective date of such Assignment and Assignment or Increase Confirmation, but there is an Irish Borrower thereafter, such Lender will provide its tax status set out opposite its name in the form of Part B of Schedule III as at the date the Irish Borrower becomes an Additional Borrower.
xcvi






(b)Each Irish Qualifying Lender expressed to be an “Irish Non-Bank Lender” in Part B of Schedule III (Lender Tax Status) or in the Assignment and Assumption or Increase Confirmation pursuant to which it becomes a Lender represents and warrants to:
(i)the Administrative Agent and to each Irish Borrower, on the 2020 Amendment Effective Date, or on the relevant effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption or the relevant effective date specified in each Increase Confirmation (as the case may be) that it is an Irish Qualifying Lender;
(ii)the Administrative Agent and to each Irish Borrower, that unless it notifies the Administrative Agent and each Irish Borrower to the contrary in writing prior to any such date, its representation and warranty in paragraph (i) above is true in relation to that Lender’s participation in each Loan made to an Irish Borrower, on each date that the relevant Irish Borrower makes a payment of interest in relation to such Loan.
(c)Any Lender which was an Irish Qualifying Lender when it became party to this Agreement but subsequently ceases to be an Irish Qualifying Lender (other than by reason of a Change in Tax Law) shall promptly notify each Irish Borrower of that event, provided that if there is a Change in Tax Law which in the reasonable opinion of the relevant Irish Borrower may result in any Lender which was an Irish Qualifying Lender when it became a party to this Agreement ceasing to be an Irish Qualifying Lender, such Irish Qualifying Lender shall co-operate with each Irish Borrower and provide reasonable evidence requested by each Irish Borrower in order for the Irish Borrower to determine whether such Lender has ceased to be an Irish Qualifying Lender provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph (e) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information or information regarding its business, tax affairs or tax computations (including without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations).
(d)An Irish Treaty Lender and the Borrower shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for it to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction on account of Tax imposed by Ireland.
(e)For the purposes of paragraphs (a) to (d) above, each Lender shall promptly deliver such documents evidencing its corporate and tax status as the Administrative Agent or the relevant Irish Borrower may reasonably request, provided that in the event that any Lender fails to comply with the foregoing requirement, the Irish Borrower shall be permitted:
(i)to withhold and retain an amount in respect of the applicable withholding tax estimated in good faith by the applicable Borrower to be required to be withheld in respect of interest payable to such Lender; or
(ii)subject to the provisions of paragraph (a) of Section 10.07, to refuse to grant its consent to such transfer.
(f)In the event that either the Administrative Agent or any Irish Borrower has reason to believe that any representation given by a Lender in accordance with Part 2 of this Section 3.04 is incorrect or inaccurate, the Administrative Agent or the relevant Irish Borrower (as the case may be) shall promptly inform the other party and the relevant Lender, and may thereafter request such documents relating to the corporate and tax status of such Lender as the Administrative Agent or the Irish Borrower may reasonably require for the purposes of determining whether or not such representation was indeed incorrect.
(g)If, following delivery of such documentation and following consultation between the Administrative Agent, the relevant Irish Borrower and the relevant Lender, the Irish Borrower concludes (acting reasonably and in good faith) that there is insufficient evidence to determine the relevant tax status of such Lender, the Irish Borrower shall be permitted in respect of such Lender, to withhold and retain an amount in respect of the applicable withholding tax estimated in good faith by the Irish Borrower to be required to be withheld in respect of interest payable to such Lender until such time as that Lender has delivered sufficient evidence of its tax status to the Administrative Agent and the Irish Borrower.
xcvii






(h)Each Lender shall provide to each Irish Borrower any information reasonably requested and necessary in order to permit an Irish Borrower to comply with its obligations under Sections 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G of the TCA.
(i)If, following delivery of such documentation and following consultation between the Administrative Agent, the relevant UK Borrower and the relevant Lender, the UK Borrower concludes (acting reasonably and in good faith) that there is insufficient evidence to determine the relevant tax status of such Lender, the UK Borrower shall be permitted in respect of such Lender, to withhold and retain an amount in respect of the applicable withholding tax estimated in good faith by the UK Borrower to be required to be withheld in respect of interest payable to such Lender until such time as that Lender has delivered sufficient evidence of its tax status to the Administrative Agent and the UK Borrower.
Section 1.05.Value Added Tax
(a)All consideration expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any Party to a Finance Party shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT.  Subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party in connection with a Loan Document, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT concurrently against the issue of an appropriate invoice.
(b)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) in connection with a Loan Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration), (i) if the Supplier is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party must also pay to the Supplier and, (ii) if the Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT the Subject Party must pay to the Recipient, (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT.  Where paragraph (i) applies, the Recipient must promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of the VAT chargeable on that supply.  Where paragraph (ii) applies, the Subject Party must only pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the amount of such VAT to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to a credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.
(c)Where a Loan Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party for the full amount of such costs and expenses including such costs that represent VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.
(d)Any reference in this Section 3.05 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group including but not limited to any fiscal unities for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994 or in the relevant legislation of any jurisdiction having implemented Council Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax).
(e)If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Loan Document and if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must give the Finance Party details of its VAT registration number and any other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Finance Party’s reporting requirements for the supply and at such time that the Finance Party may reasonably request it.
Where a Borrower is required to make a payment under paragraph (b) above, such amount shall not become due until such Borrower has received a formal invoice detailing the amount to be paid.
xcviii






Section 1.06.Tax Credits
(a)If a Loan Party makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines, acting reasonably and in good faith, that:
(i)a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and
(ii)that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,
the Finance Party shall (subject to Section 3.06(b) and to the extent that such Finance Party can do so without prejudicing the availability and/or the amount of the Tax Credit and the right of that Finance Party to obtain any other benefit, relief or allowance which may be available to it) pay to either the relevant Loan Party such amount which that Finance Party determines, acting reasonably and in good faith, will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the relevant Loan Party.
(b)Each Finance Party shall have an absolute discretion as to the time at which and the order and manner in which it realises or utilises any Tax Credits and shall not be obliged to arrange its business or its tax affairs in any particular way in order to be eligible for any credit or refund or similar benefit.
(c)No Finance Party shall be obliged to disclose to any other Person any information regarding its business, tax affairs or tax computations (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations).
(d)If a Finance Party has made a payment to a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.06 on account of a Tax Credit and it subsequently transpires that that Finance Party did not receive that Tax Credit, or received a reduced Tax Credit, such Loan Party, shall, on demand, pay to that Finance Party the amount which that Finance Party determines, acting reasonably and in good faith, will put it (after that payment is received) in the same after-tax position as it would have been in had no such payment or a reduced payment been made to such Loan Party.
No Finance Party shall be obliged to make any payment under this Section 3.06 if, by doing so, it would contravene the terms of any applicable Law or any notice, direction or requirement of any governmental or regulatory authority (whether or not having the force of law).
Section 1.07.Illegality.
(a)If any Lender reasonably determines that any applicable Law or its interpretation or application thereof has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any other Available Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Company shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, (A) if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate) or (B) if applicable and such Loans are denominated in an Available Currency (other than Dollars), to the extent the applicable Borrower and all Appropriate Lenders agree, convert such Loans to Loans bearing interest at an alternative rate mutually acceptable to the applicable Borrower and all of the Appropriate Lenders, in each case  either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain 
xcix






such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate.
(b)Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice described in Section 3.07(a) and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon any such prepayment or conversion pursuant to Section 3.07(a), the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment and conversion.
Section 1.08.Inability to Determine Rates.
If the Required Lenders reasonably determine in good faith that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount, currency and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender.  Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan of such Borrower on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b)any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert, as applicable, any Eurocurrency Rate Loan of that Borrower on the date or in the amount notified by that Borrower;
including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

ci






nothing in this Section 3.11(a) shall affect or postpone any Obligations of the Loan Parties or the rights of the Lenders under this Article III.
(b)Each Lender may make any Credit Extension to a Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of that Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01, 3.07, 3.08 or 3.09 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Loan Party shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01, 3.07, 3.08 or 3.09 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company or a Borrower of the event giving rise to such claim and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e)If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.11(c) hereof, such Lender’s applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.07, 3.08 or 3.09 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i)to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii)all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans (if possible), and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
(f)If any Lender gives notice to the Company or a Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.07, 3.08 or 3.09 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.11 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders under the applicable Facility are outstanding, if applicable, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans under such Facility and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments for the applicable Facility.
(g)Any Finance Party claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive on the absence of manifest error. In determining such amounts, such Finance Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 1.02.Remedies Upon Event of Default.
If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, take any or all of the following actions:
(a)declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuers or Alternative L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligations shall be terminated;
(b)declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers;
(c)require that the applicable Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and
cxx






(d)exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law;
provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to a Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any Debtor Relief Laws, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuers or Alternative L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
provided, that: during the Clean-up Period in respect of any acquisition or Investment permitted under this Agreement, references to any Loan Party, any member of the Restricted Group or a Material Subsidiary in Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(c)(i), Section 8.01(c)(ii) or Section 8.01(d) will not include any entity or assets that have been acquired pursuant to an acquisition or Investment permitted under this Agreement if the relevant event or circumstance that would, but for the operation of this proviso, constitute a breach of the representations and warranties or a breach of the covenants or a potential or actual Event of Default (A) existed prior to the date of such acquisition or Investment permitted under this Agreement, (B) is capable of remedy during such Clean-Up Period and reasonable steps are being taken, having become aware of such event or circumstance, to ensure that such event or circumstance is being remedied, (C) was not procured or approved by any member of the Restricted Group and (D) has not resulted in or could not be reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
With respect to any Default or Event of Default, the words “exists”, “is continuing” or similar expressions with respect thereto shall mean that the Default or Event of Default has occurred and has not yet been cured or waived. If any Default or Event of Default occurs due to (a) the failure by any person to take any action by a specified time, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured at the time, if any, that the applicable person takes such action or (b) the taking of any action by any person that is not then permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to be cured on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which such action would be permitted at such time to be taken under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) the date on which such action is unwound or otherwise modified to the extent necessary for such revised action to be permitted at such time by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If any Default or Event of Default occurs that is subsequently cured (a “Cured Default”), any other subsequent Default or Event of Default resulting from the taking or omitting to take any action by any person, which subsequent Default or Event of Default would not have arisen had the Cured Default not occurred, shall be deemed to be cured automatically upon, and simultaneously with, the cure of the Cured Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, a Default or Event of Default (the “Initial Default”) may not be cured pursuant to this paragraph:
(e)in the case of an Initial Default described in clause (b) of the second sentence of this paragraph, if an Officer of the Company had Knowledge at the time of taking any such action that such Initial Default had occurred and was continuing; or
(f)in the case of an Event of Default described under Section 8.01(i) that directly results in material impairment of the rights and remedies of the holders and the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; or
(g)if the Administrative Agent shall have declared the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable prior to the date such Initial Default would have been deemed to be cured under this paragraph.
For purposes of the paragraph above, “Knowledge” shall mean, with respect to an Officer of the Company, (i) the actual knowledge of such individual or (ii) the knowledge that such individual would have obtained if such individual had acted in good faith to discharge his or her duties with the same level of diligence and care as would reasonably be expected from an officer in a substantially similar position.
cxxi






Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if a Default occurs for a failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with an Initial Default then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or deliver a required certificate in connection with the Initial Default will also be cured without any further action and (ii) any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.03 of Annex II, or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such covenant or notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Agreement. Any notice of Default or Event of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Administrative Agent to provide a notice of Default or Event of Default or notice of acceleration, or to take any other action with respect to an alleged Default or Event of Default, may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Lenders, more than two years prior to such notice or instruction, except where an Responsible Officer of a Loan Party or Covenant Party had actual knowledge at the time of reporting publicly any such action that such action would constitute a Default or Event of Default and failed to provide the notification required by Section 6.03(a).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the only Events of Default then having occurred and continuing are pursuant to a failure to observe the Financial Covenant, the Administrative Agent shall only take the actions set forth in this Section 8.02 at the request of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (as opposed to Required Lenders).
Section 1.03.Application of Funds.
Except as may be otherwise provided in any applicable Refinancing Amendment with respect to Obligations under the applicable Refinancing Term Loans (in each case, which shall not be more favorable to the holders of such Loans than the allocation described below) and subject to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law):
First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings, Alternative L/C Borrowings, and any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under Treasury Services Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, L/C Borrowings (including to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit) and Alternative L/C Borrowings (including to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Alternative Letters of Credit), and any breakage, termination or other payments under Treasury Services Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;
Fifth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and
cxxii






Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the applicable Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount received from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor.
Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit or Alternative Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit or such Alternative Letters of Credit, as applicable, as they occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit or all Alternative Letters of Credit, as applicable, have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrower.
Section 1.04.Borrowers’ Right to Cure.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02:
(a)For the purpose of determining whether an Event of Default under the Financial Covenant has occurred, a Borrower may on one or more occasions designate any portion of the net cash proceeds from any Subordinated Shareholder Loans, sale or issuance of Qualified Equity Interests of a member of the Restricted Group or contribution to the common capital of a member of the Restricted Group (or from any other contribution to capital or issuance of any other Equity Interests on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) (the “Cure Amount”), at the option of such Borrower, as an increase to Consolidated EBITDA or a deduction from the calculation of Indebtedness for the applicable fiscal quarter; provided that (i) such amounts to be designated are actually received by such member of the Restricted Group on or after the first day of such applicable fiscal quarter and on or prior to the 15th Business Day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter which shows that the Financial Covenant has been breached (the “Cure Expiration Date”), (ii) such amounts do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under the Financial Covenant as of such date and (iii) such Borrower shall have provided notice to the Administrative Agent on the date such amounts are designated as a “Cure Amount” (it being understood that to the extent any such notice is provided in advance of delivery of a Compliance Certificate for the applicable period, the amount of such net cash proceeds that is designated as the Cure Amount may be different than the amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under the Financial Covenant and may be modified, as necessary, in a subsequent corrected notice delivered on or before the Cure Expiration Date (it being understood that in any event the final designation of the Cure Amount shall continue to be subject to the requirements set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above)).  The Cure Amount used to calculate Consolidated EBITDA or Indebtedness for one fiscal quarter shall be used and included when calculating Consolidated EBITDA or Indebtedness for each Test Period that includes such fiscal quarter.
(b)The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 8.04 may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than for determining actual compliance with Section 7.02 (and not pro forma compliance with Section 7.02 that is required by any other provision of this Agreement) and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including the amount of Indebtedness) or increase in cash (and shall not be included for purposes of determining pricing, mandatory prepayments and the availability or amount permitted pursuant to any covenant under Article VII) with respect to the quarter with respect to which such Cure Amount was made other than the amount of the Consolidated EBITDA or Indebtedness referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.
(c)In furtherance of Section 8.04(a), (i) upon actual receipt and designation of the Cure Amount by a member of the Restricted Group, the Financial Covenant shall be deemed satisfied and complied with as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply with the Financial Covenant and any Event of Default under the Financial Covenant (and any other Default or Event of Default arising solely as a result thereof) shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents, and (ii) upon delivery to the Administrative Agent prior to the Cure Expiration Date of a notice from such Borrower stating its good faith intention to exercise its right set forth in this Section 8.04, neither the Administrative Agent on or after the last day of the applicable quarter nor any Lender may exercise any rights or remedies 
cxxiii






under Section 8.02 (or under any other Loan Document) on the basis of any actual or purported Event of Default under the Financial Covenant (and any other Default or Event of Default as a result thereof) until and unless the Cure Expiration Date has occurred without the Cure Amount having been received and designated.
(d)In each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no cure right set forth in this Section 8.04 is exercised.
(e)There can be no more than five fiscal quarters in which the cure rights set forth in this Section 8.04 are exercised during the term of the Facilities; provided that, so long as the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments are no longer outstanding, there may be an additional fiscal quarter after the latest Maturity Date of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments in which the cure rights set forth in this Section 8.04 are exercised during the term of any Revolving Credit Commitments.

The Company may exercise such right to replace the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee twice during the life of the Facilities.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Security Trustee hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or Security Trustee, as applicable.  Upon resignation or removal, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Security Trustee shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06).  The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent or Security Trustee shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.

Section 1.07.Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Security Trustee and Other Lenders.
Each Lender, L/C Issuer and Alternative L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustee or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender, L/C Issuer and Alternative L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustee or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustee or the Bookrunners or Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in their capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustee, a Lender, an L/C Issuer, an Alternative L/C Issuer or (in the case of Section 10.01(g) below) an Arranger  hereunder.
Section 1.09.Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C 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 Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, but not obligated, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
cxxvii






(a)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 Obligations 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 L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

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, L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender, L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.
The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including 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 (i) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (ii) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee (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 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 would 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) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase).  In connection with any such bid (A) the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (B) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee 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 the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.01(a) through (h) of Section 10.01 of this Agreement), (C) the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (D) 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 debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

(c)to agree, on behalf of the Lenders, to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 4.12 of Annex II to the extent required by the holder of, or pursuant to the terms of any agreement governing, the obligations secured by such Liens.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and/or the Security Trustee’s authority to agree to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 9.10.  In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee, as applicable, to), at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral 
cxxix






Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.
In relation to any provision of this Agreement which requires the a Grantor or any member of the Restricted Group to deliver a Collateral Document for the purposes of granting any Guaranty or Collateral for the benefit of the Finance Parties, the Security Trustee and/or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall execute, as soon as reasonably practicable, any such guarantee or Collateral Document in agreed form which is presented to it for execution.
Section 1.11.Treasury Services Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Guaranty or any Collateral Document, no Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under any Treasury Services Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee, as applicable, has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee, as applicable, may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank, as the case may be.
Section 1.12.Withholding Tax Indemnity.
To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.01, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.12.  The agreements in this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 9.12, include any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer and any Swing Line Lender.
Section 1.13.Intercreditor Agreements.
The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement or other written intercreditor arrangement permitted under this Agreement and the Lenders acknowledge that any such Intercreditor Agreements or arrangements will be binding upon the Lenders.
Section 1.14.Erroneous Payments.
(a)If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party such Lender or L/C Issuer (any such Lender, L/C Issuer, Secured Party or other recipient, but excluding any Borrower, Loan Party or member of the Restricted Group, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under 
cxxx






immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, or L/C Issuer, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated (or earmarked, as the case may be) by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Base Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party such Lender or L/C Issuer hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case:
(i)(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of the immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14(b).
(c)Each Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or L/C Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf)  (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or L/C Issuer at any time, (i) such Lender or L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment  Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the 
cxxxi






Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or L/C Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning L/C Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning L/C Issuer and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, but subject to  the requirements of Section 10.07, assign any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such assignment, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or L/C Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the assignment of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or L/C Issuer and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has assigned a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, L/C  Issuer or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.
(e)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, 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 Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Borrowers, the Loan Parties and the members of the Restricted Group shall have no obligations, liabilities or responsibilities for any actions, consequences or remediation (including the repayment or recovery of any amounts) contemplated by this Section 9.14.
(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

cxxxiii






consent would, but for this Section 10.01(c) be required for that amendment or waiver were to that proportion of the Lenders participating in that particular Class of Loan or Facility.
(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.01 the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent or sanction of the Lenders, concur with the Borrowers in making any modifications to any Loan Document; provided that the Administrative Agent is of the opinion (acting reasonably) that such modification:
(A)would not be materially prejudicial to the position of any Lender; or

(ii)Any such modification shall be made on such terms as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine, shall be binding upon the Finance Parties, and shall be notified by the Administrative Agent to the Finance Parties as soon as practicable thereafter.
(e)[Reserved].
(f)(i) No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; provided that this Agreement may be amended to adjust the mechanics related to the issuance of Letters of Credit and Alternative Letters of Credit, including mechanical changes relating to the existence of multiple L/C Issuers and Alternative L/C Issuers, with only the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, and the Company so long as the obligations of the applicable Participating Revolving Credit Lenders, if any, who have not executed such amendment, and if applicable the other L/C Issuers or Alternative L/C Issuers, if any, who have not executed such amendment, are not adversely affected thereby; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lenders in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lenders under this Agreement; provided that this Agreement may be amended to adjust the borrowing mechanics related to Swing Line Loans with only the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lenders and the Company so long as the obligations of the applicable Participating Revolving Credit Lenders, if any, who have not executed such amendment are not adversely affected thereby; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iv) Section 10.07(h) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms materially and adversely affects any Defaulting Lender to a greater extent than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (z) the consent of any Defaulting Lender shall be required in respect of any amendments referred to in the final paragraph of Section 10.01(a).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to any Intercreditor Agreement or other arrangement permitted under this Agreement (i) 
cxxxiv






that is for the purpose of adding the holders (or a representative of the holders) of Additional Facilities or other Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred hereunder as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms thereof (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes thereto as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing; provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by any Intercreditor Agreement or any other arrangement permitted under this Agreement; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more Additional Facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders or Required Class Lenders, as applicable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent may enter into any Refinancing Amendment in accordance with Section 2.15 and any Extension Amendment in accordance with Section 2.16, and such Refinancing Amendments and Extension Amendments shall be effective to amend the terms of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents, in each case, without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lenders providing the Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Replaced Term Loans”) with replacement term loans (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Term Loans, plus accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and penalties thereon and reasonable fees and expenses associated with such Replacement Term Loans, (b) the All-In Yield with respect to such Replacement Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Term Loans) shall not be higher than the All-In Yield for such Replaced Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replaced Term Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing unless the maturity of the Replacement Term Loans is at least one year later than the maturity of the Replaced Term Loans, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replaced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Replaced Term Loans prior to the time of such Incurrence) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Replaced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.  Each amendment to this Agreement providing for Replacement Term Loans may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to effect the provisions of this paragraph, and for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall supersede any other provisions in this Section 10.01 to the contrary.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrowers without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions or defects, or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, where a request for a waiver of, or an amendment to, any provision of any Loan Document has been sent by the Administrative Agent 
cxxxv






to the Lenders at the request of a Loan Party, each Lender that does not respond to such request for waiver or amendment within ten Business Days after receipt by it of such request (or within such other period as the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall specify), shall be excluded from the calculation in determining whether the requisite level of consent to such waiver or amendment was granted.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, a Finance Party may waive, relinquish or otherwise irrevocably give up all or any of its rights under any Loan Document with the consent of any Loan Party.

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.
Section 1.03.No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document 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, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.
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 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders, L/C Issuers and Alternative L/C Issuers; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) an L/C Issuer, an  Alternative L/C Issuer or a Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure 
cxxxvii






to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), (d) 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 or (e) the Security Trustee from exercising any rights or remedies granted to it under the Collateral Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement; provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.
Section 1.04.Attorney Costs and Expenses.
The Arrangers shall bear their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated).  From and after the Delayed Amendment Effective Date, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all respective Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole and one local counsel as reasonably necessary in any relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated).  The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.  All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within 30 days after written demand therefor (together with documentation and details supporting such reimbursement request).  If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.04 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.
Section 1.05.Indemnification by the Borrower.
Without prejudice to Section 10.04, each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustee, each Agent-Related Person, each Lender, each Arranger, each Bookrunner and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, agents, advisors and other representatives of the foregoing (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs but limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom including any refusal by an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, (c) any actual or alleged Environmental Liability of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) (a “Proceeding”) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or whether or not such Proceeding is brought by any Borrower or any other Person and, in each case, whether or not caused 
cxxxviii






by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, losses, damages, claims or out-of-pocket expenses resulted from (i) the fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent or arranger or any similar role under any Facility and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement (except for direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive or consequential) damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, of any such Indemnitee), nor shall any Indemnitee, Related Indemnified Person, Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Delayed Amendment Effective Date) (other than, in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party, or which are included in a third-party claim, and for any out-of-pocket expenses related thereto).  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary thereof, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are consummated.  All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05.  The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, prepayments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements arising from any non-Tax claims.
To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under this Section 10.05 or Section 10.04 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), an L/C Issuer, an Alternative L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer, such Alternative L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), an L/C Issuer or an Alternative L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(e).
Section 1.06.Payments Set Aside.
To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer 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, such L/C Issuer, such Alternative L/C Issuer 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, each L/C Issuer and 
cxxxix






each Alternative L/C Issuer 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 applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect (or such other applicable daily interest rate as reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent).  The obligations of the Lenders, L/C Issuers and Alternative L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 1.07.Successors and Assigns.
(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (except as permitted by Section 5.01 of Annex II) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Assignee pursuant to an assignment made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b) (such an assignee, an “Eligible Assignee”) and (A) in the case of any Assignee that, immediately prior to or upon giving effect to such assignment, is an Affiliated Lender, solely Section 10.07(k) or (B) in the case of any Assignee that is a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, solely Section 2.05(a)(v) or Section 10.07(l), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or Section 10.07(i) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (each, a “New Lender”); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may assign or transfer by participation any of its rights or obligations hereunder (1) to any Person that is then a Defaulting Lender, (2) to a natural Person or a Disqualified Institution or (3) where such rights and obligations relate to a Loan to a UK Borrower, to any Person that is not a UK Qualifying Lender.

(D)each applicable Swing Line Lender; provided that no consent of a Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment of Term Loans or Term Commitments, any assignment of Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments that are not Participating Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to such Swing Line Lender, or any assignment to the Administrative Agent or an Arranger or Bookrunner or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or an Arranger or Bookrunner;
provided that, to the extent contemplated by any Intercreditor Agreement, the Assignee shall have entered into any documentation required for it to accede as a party to such Intercreditor Agreement in the relevant capacity (which documentation may include an Assignment and Assumption to the extent the relevant accession provisions are included therein).
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent any Lender is required to assign any portion of its Commitments, Loans and other rights, duties and obligations hereunder in order to comply with applicable Laws, such assignment may be made by such Lender without the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent, any applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, any applicable Swing Line Lender or any other party hereto so long as such Lender complies with the requirements of Section 10.07(b)(ii); provided that to the extent applicable Laws do not require any Lender to assign any portion of its Commitments, Loans and other rights, duties and obligations hereunder to any specific Person, the Company, the Administrative Agent, any applicable L/C Issuer, any applicable Alternative L/C Issuer, any applicable Swing Line Lender or any other party hereto shall maintain any consent rights pursuant to this Section 10.07(b)(i).
(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than an amount of $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans and $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans or Term Commitments unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that such assignments shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B)unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, no Lender shall be entitled to effect any assignment or transfer which would result in the Assignee holding an aggregate participation of more than zero but less than (1) $5,000,000 in relation to any Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment or (2) $1,000,000 in relation to any Term Loan or Term Commitment;
(C)in relation to its Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments (unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company), no Lender shall be entitled to effect any assignment or transfer other than to the extent such transfers and assignments are on a pro rata basis as between the relevant Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments under each Class under which it is a Lender;
(D)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); and
(E)other than in the case of assignments pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
cxli






This Section 10.07(b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis among such Facilities.
In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (1) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (2) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(c)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (i) other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement; provided that an Assignee will not be eligible for benefits under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.09 where the relevant payment under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.09, as applicable, is required as a result of circumstances existing on the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption, to the extent such benefits would not have been available to the assignor had the assignor remained a Lender, and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).  Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender; provided that, except as otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.07(c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e).
(d)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, and each notice of cancellation of any Loans delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or Section 10.07(l) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts and the Drawn Amounts thereof), L/C Borrowings, Alternative L/C Borrowings and the amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers and the Finance Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, and any Finance Party, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  This Section 10.07(d) and Section 2.11 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related United States Department of the Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such United States Department of the Treasury Regulations).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender nor shall the 
cxlii






Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.
(e)Subject to Section 10.07(f), any Lender, without consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, any Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliate or its Subsidiaries, a Disqualified Institution or a Defaulting Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent 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 or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (x) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that requires the affirmative vote of such Lender.  Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.09 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations and requirements of those Sections (including Section 3.01(d)) applying to each Participant as if it were a Lender, and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be delivered to the Discount Prepayment Participating Lender) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c).  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated  interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”).  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.  The portion of any Participant Register relating to any Participant requesting payment from the applicable Borrower or seeking to exercise its rights under Section 10.09 shall be available for inspection by the applicable Borrower upon reasonable request to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Department of the Treasury Regulations, or is otherwise required thereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register or with respect to the sale of participations to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution.
(f)If:
(i)a Lender assigns or transfers any participation to a Participant or changes its Lending Office; and
(ii)as a result of circumstances existing at the date of the assignment or transfer or change, a Loan Party would be obliged to make a payment to the Participant or Lender acting through its new Lending Office under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.09,
then the Participant or Lender acting through its new Lending Office shall only be entitled to receive payment under those Sections to the same extent as the Participant or Lender acting through its existing Lending Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This Section 10.07(f) shall not apply to: (a) an assignment or transfer in the ordinary course of primary syndication of the Loans or (b) in relation to Section 3.02(c) or (d), to a new lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 3.03(c)(i) or (ii) and such Loan Party making the payment has not filed a form DTTP2 with HMRC in respect of that new lender within 30 days following the date of the Assignment and Assumption or Increase Confirmation (as applicable).
cxliii






(g)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof, shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (A) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.09 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be delivered to the Granting Lender), but neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement except, in the case of Section 3.01, to the extent that the grant to the SPC was made with the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have a reasonable basis for withholding consent if an exercise by an SPC immediately after the grant would result in materially increased indemnification obligation to the Company at such time), (B) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (C) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender hereunder.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (1) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (2) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.  If a Granting Lender grants an option to an SPC as described herein and such grant is not reflected in the Register, the Granting Lender shall maintain a separate register on which it records the name and address of each SPC and the principal amounts (and related interest) of each SPC’s interest with respect to the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder, which entries shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose any portion of such register to any Person except to the extent disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder are in registered form for United States federal income tax purposes.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, (i) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and any Note held by it and (ii) any Lender that is a fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and any Note held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (A) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (B) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
(j)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer or any Swing Line Lender may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender shall have identified a successor L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender reasonably acceptable to the Company willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable.  
cxliv






In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor or by the relevant L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender to designate any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, except as expressly provided above.  If an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit or Alternative Letters of Credit, as applicable, outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).  If a Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).
(k)Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender solely through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis (including in accordance with the procedures described in Section 2.05(a)(v) or as otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:
(i)the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”);
(ii)Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II;
(iii)(A) each Affiliated Lender that purchases any Term Loans pursuant to clause (x) above shall represent and warrant to the selling Lender and the Administrative Agent (other than any other Affiliated Lender), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made, that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders who elect not to receive such information) and (B) each Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that assigns any Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender pursuant to clause (y) above shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company a customary Big Boy Letter;
(iv)the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 30% of the principal amount of all Term Loans at such time outstanding (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio; provided, further, that such cap shall not apply to Loans assigned to Affiliated Lenders where the assignment is in relation to a Qualifying Assignment; and
(v)as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this Section 10.07(k), the Administrative Agent and the Company shall have been provided a notice in the form of Exhibit E-2 to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such.
Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) if it becomes 
cxlv






an Affiliated Lender.  Such notice shall contain the type of information required and be delivered to the same addressee as set forth in Exhibit E-2.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Lender that has purchased Term Loans pursuant to this Section 10.07(k) may, in its sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (except to the extent owing to or for the account of any direct or indirect assignor Lender), to the relevant Borrower for the purpose of cancelling and extinguishing such Term Loans.  Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (A) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Term Loans of the relevant Class shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of such Term Loans and (B) the relevant Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of such Term Loans in the Register.
(l)Any Lender may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries solely through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis (including in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.05(a)(v)) or (y) notwithstanding Sections 2.12 and 2.13 or any other provision in this Agreement, open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis; provided that:
(i)upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, such Loan Party or Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed to have contributed the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to a Borrower; and
(ii)(A) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (except to the extent owing to or for the account of any direct or indirect assignor Lender), so contributed, assigned or transferred to a Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (B) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Term Loans of the relevant Class shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of such Term Loans and (C) such Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of such Term Loans in the Register.
(m)Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Required Class Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders and Required Class Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to Section 10.07(n), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action, and all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, Required Class Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) or all Lenders have taken any actions, except that no amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document shall, without the consent of the applicable Affiliated Lender, deprive any Affiliated Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any payment to which all Lenders of the applicable Class of Term Loans are entitled or affect an Affiliated Lender in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect on any Lender of the same Class of Term Loans.
(n)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that) if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against any Loan Party at a time when such Affiliated Lender is a Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner such that all Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it in order to provide 
cxlvi






that all Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that has a disproportionate effect on such Affiliated Lender as compared to the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Term Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.
(o)[Reserved].
(p)The aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans purchased by, or contributed to (in each case, and immediately cancelled hereunder), any Borrower pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or (l) and the principal repayment instalments with respect to the Term Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i) shall be reduced pro rata by the par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so purchased or contributed (and subsequently cancelled), with such reduction being applied solely to the Term Loans of the Lenders which sold such Term Loans.
Section 1.08.Confidentiality.
Each of the Finance Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed: (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ managers, administrators, directors, officers, employees, trustees, partners, investors, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors and loan syndication service providers (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person (including any Governmental Authority regulating any Lender or its Affiliates); provided that the applicable Finance Party agrees that it will notify the Company prior to any such disclosure by such Person to the extent practicable (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or any self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the applicable Finance Party agrees that it will notify the Company as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or any self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Company), to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be an Additional Lender, any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), or any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, or any provider of credit insurance relating to the Borrowers and their obligations; (f) with the written consent of the Company; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 by such Finance Party or becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or their respective Affiliates (so long as such source is not known to the Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such Lender, such L/C Issuer, such Alternative L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to be bound by confidentiality obligations to any Loan Party); (h) to any rating agency when required by it on a customary basis and after consultation with the Company (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries received by it from such Lender); (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder, under any other Loan Document or the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder; or (j) to the extent such Information is independently developed by such Person or its Affiliates so long as not based on Information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate this Section 10.08.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any other Finance Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary 
cxlvii






thereof other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 by such Finance Party; provided that all information received after the 2020 Amendment Effective Date from the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.
Section 1.09.Setoff.
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates (and the Administrative Agent, in respect of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being waived by each Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor) owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have at Law.
Section 1.10.Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent, an Arranger or a Bookrunner or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the relevant Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or such Arranger, Bookrunner or Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
Section 1.11.Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.
This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one 
cxlviii






and the same instrument.  Delivery by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document.  The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means.
The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) 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.
Section 1.12.Integration; Termination.
This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
Section 1.13.Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements, Treasury Services Agreements or contingent indemnification obligations, in any such case, not then due and payable) or any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit has been deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer).
Section 1.14.Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 1.25.Waiver of Immunities.
Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that the activities contemplated by the provisions of the Loan Documents are commercial in nature rather than governmental or public and therefore acknowledges and agrees that such Loan Party is not entitled to any right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise with respect to such activities or in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents.

The Loan Parties agree that the waivers set forth in this Section 10.24 shall have the fullest effect permitted under applicable Law, including the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America (28 U.S.C. §§1602-1611) (the “FSIA”), and are intended to be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal for purposes of the FSIA.
Section 1.26.Releases of Liens
The Liens created by the relevant Collateral Documents will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged in the instances set forth in Section 9.10(b).  Upon certification by the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustee shall take all necessary actions, including the granting of releases or waivers under any Intercreditor Agreement (including any Additional Intercreditor Agreement) in any applicable jurisdiction, to effectuate any release in accordance with this Section 10.26, subject to customary protections and indemnifications to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, and the Security Trustee.

The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for termination or release of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 11.09).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and except for termination or release of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 11.09, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:
(a)at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b)any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;
(c)the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or except as permitted pursuant to Section 11.09, any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(d)any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, an L/C Issuer, an Alternative L/C Issuer, any Lender or the Security Trustee shall fail to be perfected;
(e)the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.09; or
(f)any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including any creditor of any Guarantor).
The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrowers under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Guarantors waive, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this guarantee or acceptance of this guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrowers and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guarantee.  This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto.  This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

Section 1.03.Reinstatement.
The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article XI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. Each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Secured Parties and each holder of the Guaranteed Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under Debtor Relief Law.
Section 1.04.Subrogation; Subordination.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the irrevocable payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrowers or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.05.Remedies.
The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.02) for purposes of Section 11.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower)  shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.01.
Section 1.06.Instrument for the Payment of Money.
Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article XI constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.
Section 1.07.Continuing Guarantee.
The guarantee in this Article XI is a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
Section 1.08.General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations.
In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other applicable Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.10) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
Section 1.09.Release of Guarantors.
(a)If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents (and subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement):

Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.04.  The provisions of this Section 11.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers, the Swing Line Lenders and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers, the Swing Line Lenders and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
Section 1.11.Keepwell.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of any Swap Obligation (provided that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11.11, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 11.11 shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 11.11 constitute, and this Section 11.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Section 1.12.No Marshalling.
Except to the extent required by applicable Law, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party will be required to marshal any collateral securing, or any guaranties of, the Guaranteed Obligations, or to resort to any item of collateral or any guaranty in any particular order, and the Secured Parties’ rights with respect to any collateral and guaranties will be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Guarantor irrevocably waives, and agrees that it will not invoke or assert, any Law requiring or relating to the marshalling of collateral or guaranties or any other Law which might cause a delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Parties’ rights under this guarantee or any other agreement.
Section 1.13.Election of Remedies.
Each Guarantor understands that the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties of certain rights and remedies contained in the Loan Documents may affect or eliminate the Guarantor’s right of subrogation and reimbursement against the Loan Parties and that the Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability under this guarantee.  The Guarantors expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to pursue their rights and remedies with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations in any order or fashion they deem appropriate, in their sole and absolute discretion, and waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment, or loss of any or all rights of recourse, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or 
clx






subrogation or any other rights or remedies of the Guarantors against the Borrower, any other person or any security, whether resulting from any election of rights or remedies by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, or otherwise.
Section 1.14.Administrative Agent’s Duties.
The grant to the Administrative Agent under this guarantee of any right or power does not impose upon the Administrative Agent any duty to exercise that right or power.
Section 1.15.Guarantor Intent.
Without prejudice to the generality of Section 11.13, and subject to applicable Law restrictions, each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this Guaranty shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to the Obligations, including for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.
Section 1.16.Joint and Several Liability .
All Loans, upon funding, shall be deemed to be jointly funded to and received by the Borrowers. Each Borrower is jointly and severally liable under this Agreement for all Obligations, regardless of the manner or amount in which proceeds of Loans are used, allocated, shared or disbursed by or among the Borrowers themselves, or the manner in which any Lender or other Finance Party accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower shall be liable for all amounts due to any Lender or other Finance Party from the Borrowers under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans and extensions of credit received or the manner in which such Lender or other Finance Party accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower’s Obligations with respect to Loans and other extensions of credit made to it, and such Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans made to, and Letters of Credit issued for the account of, the other Borrowers hereunder shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of such Borrower. The Borrowers acknowledge and expressly agree with each Lender and other Finance Party that the joint and several liability of each Borrower is required solely as a condition to, and is given solely as inducement for and in consideration of, credit or accommodations extended or to be extended under the Loan Documents to any or all of the other Borrowers and is not required or given as a condition of extensions of credit to such Borrower. Each Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by an any Lender or other Finance Party with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement executed as of the 2020 Amendment Effective Date or thereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to any Lender or other Finance Party, (iv) the failure by any Lender or other Finance Party to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower, (v) any Lender’s or other Finance Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of  any Lender’s or other Finance Party’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor or of any other Borrower. With respect to any Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to any Loans or other extensions of credit made to any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have 
clxi






been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which any Lender or other Finance Party had as of the 2020 Amendment Effective Date or  may have thereafter against any other Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to any Lender or other Finance Party to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to any Lender or other Finance Party. Upon any Event of Default, the Finance Parties may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Finance Parties shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, none of the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.16 shall apply to any Person released from its Obligations as a Borrower in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 1.17.Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs.
To the extent that any Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Secured Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(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. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)As used in this Section 11.16, 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);
(iii)a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
clxii






“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).

Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock and increases in the amount of Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness.
If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Permitted Affiliate Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Permitted Affiliate Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date.
(e)Subject to Section 4.09(d)(7), for purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be (1) calculated by the Company based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower Dollar Equivalent), in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced and (2) if and for so long as any such Indebtedness is subject to an agreement intended to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates with respect to the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated covering principal and interest on such Indebtedness, the swapped rate of such Indebtedness (if swapped into Dollars) as of the date of the applicable swap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if 
ccxxv






Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
(f)For purposes of determining compliance with (1) Section 4.09(a) and (2) any other provision of the Loan Documents which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (if such Indebtedness has not been swapped into Dollars, or if such Indebtedness has been swapped into a currency other than Dollars) shall be calculated by the Company using the same exchange rates for the relevant period used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent of Consolidated EBITDA denominated in the same currency as the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated or into which it has been swapped.
(g)The Company and any Permitted Affiliate Parent will not Incur, and will not permit the Loan Parties to Incur, any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Loan Parties that ranks pari passu with or is subordinated to the Obligations or Guaranty, as applicable, unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations or relevant Guaranty, on substantially identical terms (as conclusively determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent); provided that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Loan Parties or any other Restricted Subsidiary solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured on a junior Lien basis or by virtue of not being guaranteed or by virtue of the application of waterfall or other payment ordering provisions affecting different tranches of Indebtedness.

(2)securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are convertible by the Company, such Permitted Affiliate Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition;
ccxxvi






(3)Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition;

(6)in addition to any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(5), any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Dispositions having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.10(b)(6) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $250.0 million and 5.0% of Total Assets (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received or, at the option of the Company or any Permitted Affiliate Parent, at the time contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition, and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value);

(1)if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Significant Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary shall only be obligated to become an Additional Guarantor if such Indebtedness is Indebtedness of the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or a Borrower or Public Debt of a Guarantor;
(2)if the Indebtedness is pari passu in right of payment to the Obligations, any such guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall rank pari passu in right of payment to its Guaranty;
(3)if the Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations, any such guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to its Guaranty substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations;
(4)an Additional Guarantor’s Guaranty may be limited in amount to the extent required by fraudulent conveyance, thin capitalization, corporate benefit, financial assistance or other similar laws (but, in such a case (a) each of the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to overcome the relevant legal limit and will procure that the relevant Restricted Subsidiary undertakes all whitewash or similar procedures which are legally available to eliminate the relevant limit and (b) the relevant guarantee shall be given on an equal and ratable basis with the guarantee of any other Indebtedness giving rise to the obligation to guarantee the Facilities); and
(5)for so long as it is not permissible under applicable Law for a Restricted Subsidiary to become an Additional Guarantor, such Restricted Subsidiary need not become an Additional Guarantor (but, in such a case, each of the Company, any Permitted Affiliate 
ccxxxi






Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to overcome the relevant legal prohibition precluding the giving of the guarantee and will procure that the relevant Restricted Subsidiary undertakes all whitewash or similar procedures which are legally available to eliminate the relevant legal prohibition, and shall give such guarantee at such time (and to the extent) that it thereafter becomes permissible).
(b)Section 4.15(a) shall not apply to: (1) the granting by such Restricted Subsidiary of a Permitted Lien under circumstances which do not otherwise constitute the guarantee of Indebtedness of the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary; or (2) the guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness that refinances Indebtedness which benefited from a guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred in compliance with this Section 4.15 immediately prior to such refinancing.
(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Section 4.15(a) shall not be applicable to any guarantee provided by a Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such person became a Restricted Subsidiary if such guarantee was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.

Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement, (B) a certificate from the responsible financial or accounting officer of the relevant Grantor (acting in good faith) which confirms the solvency of the person granting such Lien after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement or (C) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, confirming that, after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement, the Lien or Liens created under the Collateral Documents, as applicable, so amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented, modified or replaced, are valid Liens not otherwise subject to any limitation, imperfection or new hardening period, in equity or at law, that such Lien or Liens were not otherwise subject to immediately prior to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement. In the event that the Company and any Permitted Affiliate Parent comply with the requirements of this Section 4.17, the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee shall (subject to customary protections and indemnifications) consent to any such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement without the need for instructions from the Lenders.
Section 4.18.[Reserved]
Section 4.19.Suspension of Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Status
If, during any period after the Delayed Amendment Effective Date, the Loans have achieved and continue to maintain Investment Grade Status and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such period hereinafter referred to as an “Investment Grade Status Period”), then the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent will notify the Administrative Agent of this fact and beginning on the date such status was achieved, the provisions of Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 5.01(a)(3) and any related default provisions of this Agreement will be suspended and will not, during such Investment Grade Status Period, be applicable to the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries. No action taken during an Investment Grade Status Period or prior to an Investment Grade Status Period in compliance with the covenants then applicable will require reversal or constitute a Default under this Agreement in the event that suspended covenants are subsequently reinstated or suspended, as the case may be. An Investment Grade Status Period will terminate immediately upon the failure of the Loans to maintain Investment Grade Status (the “Reinstatement Date”). The Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent will promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any failure of the Loans to maintain Investment Grade Status and the Reinstatement Date.

Section 4.23.Intercreditor Agreements
(a)[Reserved].
(b)At the request of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent, in connection with the Incurrence by a Loan Party of any Indebtedness that is permitted to share in the Collateral pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Collateral Lien”, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Security Trustee shall enter into with the holders of such Indebtedness (or their duly authorized Representative) an intercreditor agreement, including an accession to, or a restatement, amendment or other modification of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement (an “Additional Intercreditor Agreement”), on substantially the same terms as such applicable Intercreditor Agreement (or on terms not materially less favorable to the Finance Parties), including, with respect to the subordination, payment blockage, limitation on enforcement, and release of the Guaranty, priority and release of any Liens in respect of Collateral or other terms which become customary for similar agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the foregoing and Section 4.23(c), any such Additional Intercreditor Agreement may provide for pari passu or subordinated Liens in respect of any such Indebtedness (to the extent such Indebtedness is permitted to share the Collateral (with the specified priority) pursuant to the definition of Permitted Collateral Lien). The Lenders expressly 
ccxxxiii






authorize the Administrative Agent to execute any such Additional Intercreditor Agreement and acknowledge and agree that any such Additional Intercreditor Agreement executed by the Administrative Agent shall bind the Lenders.
(c)At the direction of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent and without the consent of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent will upon direction of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent from time to time enter into one or more amendments to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document to: (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, manifest error, defect or inconsistency therein; (2) add other parties (such as representatives of new issuances of Indebtedness) thereto; (3) further secure the Obligations and the Guaranty; (4) make provision for equal and ratable grants of Liens on the Collateral to secure Additional Facilities or implement any Permitted Collateral Liens; (5) make any other change to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document to provide for additional Indebtedness constituting Subordinated Obligations or any other additional Indebtedness (in either case, including with respect to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the addition of provisions relating to new Indebtedness ranking junior in right of payment to the Facilities) or other obligations that are permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be Incurred and secured by a Lien on the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis with the Liens securing the Facilities; (6) add Restricted Subsidiaries to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document; (7) amend the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document in accordance with the terms thereof; (8) make any change necessary or desirable, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company, in order to implement any transaction that is subject to Section 5.01; (9) implement any transaction in connection with the renewal, extension, refinancing, replacement or increase of any Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral and that is not prohibited by this Agreement; or (10) make any other change thereto that does not adversely affect the rights of the Finance Parties in any material respect; provided that no such changes shall be permitted to the extent they affect the ranking of the Facilities or the release of any Guaranty in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Finance Parties in any material respect except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, or the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, immediately prior to such change. The Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent will not otherwise direct the Administrative Agent to enter into any amendment to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document without the consent of the Required Lenders, except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement. This Section 4.23(c) shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.
(d)In relation to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall consent on behalf of the Lenders to the payment, repayment, purchase, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition, retirement or redemption of any obligations subordinated to the Facilities thereby; provided that such transaction would comply with Section 4.07.
Section 4.24.[Reserved]
Section 4.25.Limited Condition Transaction
(a)In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent has exercised its option under the first sentence of this Section 4.25(a), and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date such definitive agreement for a Limited Condition Transaction is entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.
(b)In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction for purposes of:
ccxxxiv






(1)determining compliance with any provision of the Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio; or
(2)testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage or multiple, as applicable, of Total Assets, Pro forma EBITDA or Pro forma Non-Controlling Interest EBITDA);
in each case, at the option of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent (the Company’s or a Permitted Affiliate Parent’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”); provided that the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent shall be entitled to subsequently elect, in its sole discretion, the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction instead of the LCT Test Date as the applicable date of determination, and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definitions of “Pro forma EBITDA”, “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio” and “Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio”, the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
(c)If the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Pro forma EBITDA or Total Assets, of the Company , any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries or the Person or assets subject to the Limited Condition Transaction (as if each reference to the “Company” or a “Permitted Affiliate Parent” in such definition was to such Person or assets) 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. If the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability under this Agreement (including with respect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Asset Dispositions, acquisitions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
ARTICLE 5
Section 4.01.Merger and Consolidation
(a)No Borrower will consolidate with, or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person, unless:
(1)the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) will be a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of an Approved Key Jurisdiction and the Successor Company (if not such Borrower) will expressly assume, by executing and delivering a joinder agreement substantially in the form contemplated by Section 10.21(c) of this Agreement, to the Administrative Agent, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, all the obligations of such Borrower under the Loan Documents to which it is a party; provided that in the case of the Original Co-Borrower, it shall remain, or the Successor Company shall be, in all cases organized and existing under the laws of the United States or the District of Columbia;
ccxxxv






(2)immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(3)either (A) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries (including such Successor Company) would be able to Incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a)(2) or (B) the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio of the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries (including such Successor Company)would be no greater than that of the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction; and
(4)the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with this Agreement; provided that in giving such opinion, such counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with Section 5.01(a)(2) and Section 5.01(a)(3) above and as to any matters of fact.
(b)No Loan Party (other than a Borrower (which shall be governed by Section 5.01(a)) will consolidate with, or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, other than another Loan Party (other than in connection with a transaction that does not constitute an Asset Disposition or a transaction that is permitted by Section 4.10), unless:
(1)immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(2)either:
(A)the Successor Company (if not such Guarantor) expressly assumes all the obligations of that Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, by executing and delivering a joinder agreement in accordance with Section 10.21(c) of this Agreement; provided that in the case of the Company, it shall remain, or the Successor Company shall be, in all cases organized and existing under the laws of an Approved Jurisdiction; or
(B)the Net Cash Proceeds of such transaction are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
(c)For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of a Loan Party which properties and assets, if held by such Loan Party instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such Loan Party on a Consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such Loan Party.
(d)The Successor Company (if not such Loan Party) will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the relevant Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, and upon such substitution, the predecessor to such Loan Party will be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, but, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the predecessor to such Loan Party will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Facilities.
(e)The provisions set forth in this Section 5.01 shall not restrict (and shall not apply to): (1) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party from consolidating with, merging or liquidating into or transferring all or substantially all of its properties and assets to a Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party; (2) any Guarantor from merging or liquidating into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets to another Loan Party; (3) any consolidation or merger of a Borrower into any Loan Party; provided that for the purposes of this Section 5.01(e)(3), if a Borrower is not the Successor Company, the relevant Guarantor will assume the obligations of such Borrower 
ccxxxvi






under the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is party and Section 5.01(a)(1) and Section 5.01(a)(4) shall apply to such transaction; (4) any consolidation or merger effected as part of the Transactions; (5) any Solvent Liquidation; and (6) a Loan Party consolidating into or merging or combining with an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of changing the legal domicile or form of such entity or reincorporating such entity in another jurisdiction or changing the legal form of such entity; provided that, for the purposes of this Section 5.01(e)(6), (A) Section 5.01(a)(1), Section 5.01(a)(2) and Section 5.01(a)(4) or (B) Section 5.01(b), as the case may be, shall apply to any such transaction.

No Secured Party shall be required to marshal the Credit Security or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Credit Security or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Secured Debt Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Pledgor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Secured Parties, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar Laws now or hereafter existing which, but for this Section 2.7.2, might be applicable to the sale of the Credit Security made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise.

2.7.3.Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of all sales and collections in respect of the Credit Security, all funds collected from the Pledgor and any cash contained in the Credit Security, the application of which is not otherwise specifically provided for herein, shall be applied as set forth in the Existing Intercreditor Agreement.
2.8.Custody of Credit Security. Except as provided by applicable Law that cannot be waived, the Security Trustee will have no duty as to the custody and protection of the Credit Security, the collection of any part thereof or of any income thereon or the preservation or exercise of any rights pertaining thereto, including rights against prior parties, except for the use of reasonable care in the custody and physical preservation of any Credit Security in its possession. The Security Trustee may delegate by power of attorney or in any other manner to any person any right, power or discretion exercisable by it under or in connection with this Agreement. The Secured Parties will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Credit Security, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any agent selected by the Security Trustee, unless the selection of such agent itself was grossly negligent.
3.Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, that:

Thereupon, on the Pledgor’s reasonable request and at its cost and expense, the Security Trustee shall execute proper instruments, acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Agreement, and shall redeliver to the Pledgor any Credit Security then in its possession.
5.2.To the extent that any of the Credit Security is no longer required to be pledged as Collateral for purposes of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement (or is otherwise no longer required to be pledged under the other Secured Debt Documents then in effect), then the Security Trustee is authorized to release the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Credit Security in accordance with the terms of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement.
6.Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the Pledgor and its respective successors and assigns.

F-5






8.Amendments and Waivers. 
8.1.No failure or delay by any Secured Party in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Secured Debt Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such 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 of the Secured Parties herein provided, and provided under each other Secured Debt Document, may be exercised as often as necessary, are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 8.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
8.2.Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Security Trustee and the Pledgor, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, Clause 28 of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement and the corresponding clause of each other Secured Debt Document.

The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit, alter or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and current understandings and agreements, whether written or oral. 
12.Intercreditor Agreement. This Agreement shall be subject in all respects to the Existing Intercreditor Agreement, and in the case of a conflict between this Agreement and the Existing Intercreditor Agreement, the Existing Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
13.Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue. For the benefit of the Security Trustee, the Pledgor agrees that any court New York State court sitting in New York City (Borough of Manhattan), any Federal court for the Southern District of the State of New York, and any appellate courts thereof, have jurisdiction to settle any disputes in connection with this Agreement and accordingly submits to the jurisdiction of those courts. The Pledgor waives objection to such New York State and Federal courts on grounds of personal jurisdiction, inconvenient forum or otherwise as regards proceedings in connection with this Agreement, and agrees that a judgment or order of a New York State or Federal court in connection with this Agreement is conclusive and binding on it and may be enforced against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 13 limits the right of the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party to bring proceedings against the Pledgor in connection with this Agreement in any other court of competent jurisdiction or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction.
14.Service of Process. The Pledgor irrevocably appoints [●] as agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before any courts located in the State of New York in connection with this Agreement.
