If, since the beginning of such period, any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, or disposed operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this clause (a), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio and Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio shall be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect thereto for such Test Period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, or disposed operation had occurred at the beginning of the Test Period.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio and Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence, except that incurrences of Indebtedness and Liens constituting Fixed Amounts shall be taken into account for purposes of Incurrence-Based Amounts other than Incurrence-Based Amounts contained in Section 10.1 or Section 10.2.  In connection with the incurrence of any 








Indebtedness pursuant to Section 2.14, the definitions of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders, Required 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loan Lenders, Required 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Euro Term Loan Lenders, Required 2020 Spinco Tranche B-1 Dollar Term Loan Lenders and Required Series A New Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis in accordance with this Section 1.7, Section 2.14 and the definition of Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount (except to the extent the incurrence of such Indebtedness is not permitted pursuant to Section 2.14 without giving effect such Pro Forma Basis calculation).
(b)    Whenever Pro Forma Effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Holdings or the U.S. Borrower (and may include, for the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, cost savings, operating expense enhancements and operating expense reductions resulting from such Investment, acquisition, merger, or consolidation which is being given Pro Forma Effect that have been or are expected to be realized; provided that such costs savings, operating expense enhancements and operating expense reductions are made in compliance with the definition of Pro Forma Adjustment).  If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given Pro Forma Effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account for such entire period, any Hedging Obligation applicable to such Indebtedness with a remaining term of 12 months or longer, and in the case of any Hedging Obligation applicable to such Indebtedness with a remaining term of less than 12 months, taking into account such Hedging Obligation to the extent of its remaining term).  Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Holdings or the U.S. Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.  For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a Pro Forma Basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period (or, if lower, the greater of (i) maximum commitments under such revolving credit facilities as of the date of determination and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under such revolving credit facilities on such date).  Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Holdings or the U.S. Borrower may designate.
In connection with any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:
(i)    determining compliance with any provision of the Credit Documents which requires the calculation of the Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio;
(ii)    determining the accuracy of representations and warranties in Section 8 and/or whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under Section 11; or
(iii)    testing availability under baskets set forth in the Credit Documents (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets);
in each case, at the option of the U.S. Borrower (the U.S. Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”) (it being understood and agreed that the U.S. Borrower may elect to revoke any LCT Election in its sole discretion), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), 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 if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, such action could have been taken on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the U.S. Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios 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 or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of Holdings or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, 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 U.S. Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of assets, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (A) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is 








consummated or (B) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio 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 until such time as the Limited Condition Transaction has been consummated or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated or expires.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7 or in any classification under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the disposition thereof has been entered into as discontinued operations, no Pro Forma Effect shall be given to any discontinued operations (and the Consolidated EBITDA attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such disposition shall have been consummated.
(d)    Any determination of Consolidated Total Assets shall be made by reference to the last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the relevant date of determination.
(e)    All leases of any Person that are or would be characterized as operating leases in accordance with GAAP immediately prior to January 1, 2017 (whether or not such operating leases were in effect on such date) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases (and not as Capital Leases) for purposes of this Agreement regardless of any change in GAAP following the date that would otherwise require such leases to be recharacterized as Capital Leases.
1.8    LIBORBenchmark Rate Successor.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, if the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the U.S. Borrower determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to U.S. Borrower) that the Required Lenders have determined, that:
(a)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining (i) LIBOR or EURIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate or the EURIBOR Screen Rate, as applicable, is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) SONIA or ESTR; or
(b)    the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate, the supervisor for the administrator of the EURIBOR Screen Rate, the SONIA Administrator, the ESTR Administrator or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or, the LIBOR Screen Rate, EURIBOR, the EURIBOR Screen Rate, SONIA or ESTR, as applicable, shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR, EURIBOR, SONIA or ESTR, as applicable, with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of LIBOR, EURIBOR, SONIA or ESTR, as applicable, and giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBORBenchmark Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBORBenchmark Successor Rate Conforming Changes; provided that in no event shall such alternative benchmark rate (after giving effect to any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark rate (if any)) be less than zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.1, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the U.S. Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.  
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist, and no Benchmark Successor Rate has been determined (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or SONIA Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended (in each case, to the extent of thesuch affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the LIBOR Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining ABR and (z) any Unpaid Drawing denominated in Euros or Pounds Sterling shall bear interest at a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower in consultation with the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer to compensate the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for its funding of such Unpaid Drawing plus the Applicable Margin for such Unpaid Drawing.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (, EURIBOR Loans or SONIA Loans, as 








applicable (in each case, to the extent of thesuch affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, (i) if such LIBOR Loans are denominated in Dollars, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, ABR Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein or (ii) if such LIBOR Loans are denominated in Euros or any Alternative Currency, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Borrowing of, or conversion to, Loans that bear interest at a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower in consultation with the applicable Lenders, to compensate the applicable Lenders for such Loans for the applicable period plus the Applicable Margin for LIBORsuch Loans of the applicable Class.
1.9    Timing of Payment or Performance.  Except as otherwise provided herein, when the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty, or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on (or before) a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of Interest Period) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.

For all purposes under the Credit Documents, in connection with any Delaware LLC Division (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

(iii)    In the event that any Extended Term Loans are established, such Extended Term Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(g), be repaid by the applicable Borrower in the amounts (each such amount with respect to any Extended Repayment Date, an “Extended Term Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates (each, an “Extended Repayment Date”) set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment.
(d)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each applicable Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(e)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is a 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loan, 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Euro Term Loan, 2020 Spinco Tranche B-1 Dollar Term Loan, Series A New Term Loan, other New Term Loan, Additional Term Loans, Replacement Term Loan, Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan, as applicable, the Type of each Loan made, the currency in which made, the name of the applicable Borrower and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from such Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(f)    The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (d) and (e) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of 








the existence and amounts of the obligations of a Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender to maintain such account, such Register or subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2.6    Conversions and Continuations
(a)    Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (x) each Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof) of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of one Type or Revolving Credit Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (y) each Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans or any EURIBOR Loans as EURIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period, provided that (i) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (iii) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans and EURIBOR Loans may not be continued as EURIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation and (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2.  Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the applicable Borrowers by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least (A) three Business Days’ notice, in the case of a continuation of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans or a conversion to LIBOR Loans or (B) one Business Day’s notice in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans prior written notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.
(b)    If any Default or Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans.  If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans (other than Borrowings of LIBOR Loans denominated in Euro or Alternative Currencies), a Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a), such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Borrowings of LIBOREURIBOR Loans denominated in Euro or Alternative Currencies, in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in the preceding two sentences, at the expiration of the then current Interest Period each such Borrowing shall be automatically continued as a Borrowing of LIBOREURIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one month.
(c)    No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency.
2.7    Pro Rata Borrowings.

All Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans of each Borrower shall be allocated pro rata relative to Commitments across the 2019 Revolving Credit Facility.  Each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.  Each Borrowing of New Term Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable New Term Loan Commitments.  It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) other than as expressly provided herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, failure 








by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Credit Document.
2.8    Interest
(a)    The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans plus the ABR, in each case, in effect from time to time.

(ce)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 hereto and all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon or any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case of any other overdue amount, including overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2% per annum from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).
(df)    Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable in the same currency in which the Loan is denominated; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.  Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan or SONIA Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of each Loan, (A) on any prepayment in respect of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (C) after such maturity, on demand.

(fh)    The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or SONIA Loans, shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower(s) and the relevant Lenders thereof.  Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
2.9    Interest Periods.  At the time Holdings or a Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), Holdings or such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of Holdings or such Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period (or, if available to all the Lenders making such LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, as determined by such Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions, a twelve month or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, a shorter period).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:
(a)    the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;








(b)    if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;
(c)    if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day; and
(d)    no Borrower shall be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loan or any EURIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the Maturity Date of such Loan.
2.10    Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.
(a)    In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent and (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, the Required Term Loan Lenders (with respect to Term Loans) or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders (with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments) shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):
(i)    on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate or the EURIBOR Rate for any Interest Period or the Daily Simple SONIA that (x) deposits in the principal amounts and currencies of the Loans comprising such LIBOR Rate Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or SONIA Borrowing, as applicable, are not generally available in the relevant interbank market or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the relevant interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate, EURIBOR Rate or Daily Simple SONIA, as applicable; or
(ii)    at any time, that such Lenders shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or SONIA Loans (including any increased costs or reductions attributable to Taxes, other than any increase or reduction attributable to Taxes described in clauses (i) or (ii) of paragraph (d) of this Section 2.10) because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order), such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the relevant interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in such market; or
(iii)    at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or SONIA Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lenders in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the relevant interbank LIBOR market;
then, and in any such event, such Required Term Loan Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to Holdings and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or SONIA Loans, as applicable, shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies Holdings and the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (, EURIBOR Loans or SONIA Loans, as applicable, shall be deemed rescinded (in each case, to the extent of thesuch affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) shall be deemed rescinded by the applicable Borrower, and (i) if such LIBOR Loans are denominated in Dollars, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, ABR Loans in the amount specified therein or (ii) if such LIBOR Loans are denominated in Euros or any Alternative Currency, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Borrowing of, or conversion to, Loans that bear interest at a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, after consultation with the applicable Lenders, to compensate the applicable Lenders for such Loans for the applicable period plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR 








Loanssuch Loan of the applicable Class, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lenders, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Required Term Loan Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, in their reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lenders for such actual increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lenders, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to such Borrower by such Lenders shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of subclause (iii) above, such Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in subclause (x) or (y), as applicable, of Section 2.10(b) promptly and, in any event, within the time period required by law.
(b)    At any time that any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or SONIA Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the applicable Borrower may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or SONIA Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent written notice thereof on the same date that such Borrower was notified by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR Loan (i) if such LIBOR Loan is denominated in Dollars, into an ABR Loan, or (ii) if such LIBOR Loan is denominated in Euros or any Alternative Currency, into a Loan that bears interest at a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, after consultation with the applicable Lenders, to compensate the applicable Lenders for such Loans for the applicable period plus the Applicable Margin for LIBORsuch Loans of the applicable Class, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).
(c)    If, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity of any Lender or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity occurring after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the actual rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower(s) shall pay to such Lender such actual additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such actual reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date or to the extent such Lender is not imposing such charges on or requesting such compensation from borrowers (similarly situated to the Borrowers hereunder) under comparable syndicated credit facilities similar to the Credit Facilities.  Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to such Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish such Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.
(d)    It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 or (ii) Excluded Taxes.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10 from market disruption shall be limited to circumstances generally affecting the banking market.
2.11    Compensation.  If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan is made by a Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 13.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing or a failure to satisfy borrowing conditions, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan or a EURIBOR Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, such Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to 








continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan.
2.12    Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b), 3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section.  Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of such Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.
2.13    Notice of Certain Costs.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 120 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 121st day prior to the giving of such notice to the applicable Borrower.
2.14    Incremental Facilities.
(a)    Any Borrower may by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (x) additional tranches of term loans or increases in term loans of any Class (the commitments thereto, the “New Term Loan Commitments”), (y) increases in Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) and/or (z) additional tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments (which may be incurred in Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling or any other Alternative Currency) (the “Additional Revolving Credit Commitments” and, together with the New Revolving Credit Commitments, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments; and together with the New Term Loan Commitments and the New Revolving Credit Commitments, the “New Loan Commitments”), which may be incurred in Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling or any other Alternative Currency, by an aggregate amount not in excess of the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount in the aggregate and not less than $5,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as (x) may be approved by the Administrative Agent or (y) shall constitute the difference between the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount and all such New Loan Commitments obtained on or prior to such date).  Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which such Borrower proposes that the New Loan Commitments shall be effective.  Each Borrower may approach any Lender or any Person (other than a natural person) to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Loan Commitment.  In each case, such New Loan Commitments shall become effective as of the applicable Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Event of Default (except in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction or other acquisition or investment, in which case no Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5) shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments, as applicable, and subject to Section 1.7, (ii) the New Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by such Borrower and Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 5.4(e) and (iii) such Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection with the New Loan Commitments, as applicable.  Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall, at the election of the applicable Borrower and agreed to by Lenders providing such New Term Loans, be designated as (A) a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement or (B) as part of a Series of existing Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.
(b)    On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (x) with respect to New Revolving Credit Commitments, each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class shall assign to each Lender with a New Revolving Credit Commitment (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender”) and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, at the principal amount thereof and in the applicable currency or currencies, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Revolving Credit Loans of such Class will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Credit Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments, and (y) with respect to Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan 








made under a New Revolving Credit Commitment (a “New Revolving Loan”) and each Loan made under an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment (an “Additional Revolving Credit Loan” and, together with New Revolving Loans, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Loans”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) each New Revolving Loan Lender and each Lender with an Additional Revolving Credit Commitment (each an “Additional Revolving Credit Lender” and, together with the New Revolving Loan Lenders, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders”) shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Credit Commitment or the Additional Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, and all matters relating thereto; provided that the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuers shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 13.6 for an assignment of Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender.
(c)    On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with a New Term Loan Commitment (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) of any Series shall make a Loan to the applicable Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Series and the New Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto.
(d)    The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall be on terms and documentation set forth in the Joinder Agreement as determined by the applicable Borrower; provided that (i) the applicable New Term Loan Maturity Date of each Series shall be no earlier than the Latest 2020 Term Loan Maturity Date; (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of all New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of any then existing Class of 2020 Term Loans (calculated without giving effect to any prepayments), (iii) the pricing, interest rate margins, discounts, premiums, rate floors, fees and amortization schedule applicable to any New Term Loans shall be determined by the applicable Borrower; provided that, with respect to any New Term Loan incurred pursuant to clause (e) of the definition of Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount and that matures earlier than the date that is two years after the Latest 2020 Term Loan Maturity Date, only during the period commencing on the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date and ending on the date that is six months after the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, if the Effective Yield for LIBOR Loans or ABR Loans in respect of such New Term Loans exceeds the Effective Yield for LIBOR Loans or ABR Loans in respect of any then existing Class of 2020 Term Loans of the same currency at such time by more than 0.75%, the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans or ABR Loans in respect of such then existing Class of 2020 Term Loans of the same currency shall be adjusted so that the Effective Yield in respect of such then existing Class of 2020 Term Loans of the same currency is equal to the Effective Yield for LIBOR Loans or ABR Loans in respect of the New Term Loans minus 0.75% (the terms of this proviso to this clause (iii), the “MFN Protection”); and (iv) to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the 2020 Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that, (A) to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any such Indebtedness, no consent shall be required by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders if such financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any corresponding Term Loans remaining outstanding after the issuance or incurrence of such Indebtedness and (B) no consent shall be required by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders if any covenants or other provisions are only applicable after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date at the time such New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments are incurred); provided further that (x) clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to up to an amount equal to the greater of (A) $1,600,000,000 or (B) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters of Holdings most recently ended on or prior to such date of determination in respect of New Term Loans or Permitted Other Indebtedness (as selected by the U.S. Borrower) (the “Maturity Carveout Amount”) and (y) the MFN Protection shall not apply to (I) up to the greater of (1) $800,000,000 and (2) 50.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period (as selected by the U.S. Borrower) of New Term Loans and (II) any New Term Loans incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Permitted Investment.
(e)    The terms and provisions of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be identical to the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments and the related Initial Revolving Credit Loans, other than, solely with respect to Additional Revolving Credit Commitments and Additional Revolving Credit Loans, the Maturity Date and as set forth in this Section 2.14(e); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or otherwise:
(i)    any such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall rank equal in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the 2020 Term Loans,








(ii)    any such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments or Additional Revolving Credit Loans shall not mature earlier than the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments and related Revolving Credit Loans at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments,
(iii)    the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Additional Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments, and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (v) below)) of Loans with respect to Additional Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Increased Amount Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments on such Increased Amount Date,
(iv)    subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(c) and Section 3.12 to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exists Additional Revolving Credit Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of the same Class in accordance with their percentage of such Revolving Credit Commitments on the applicable Increased Amount Date (and except as provided in Section 3.12, without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued in respect of such Class),
(v)    the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to, and termination of, Additional Revolving Credit Commitments after the associated Increased Amount Date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the Borrowers shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class of Revolving Credit Loans with a later maturity date than such Class of Revolving Credit Loans,
(vi)    assignments and participations of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans on the applicable Increased Amount Date, 
(vii)    any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments may constitute a separate Class, as the case may be, of Commitments from the Classes constituting the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments prior to such Increased Amount Date,
(viii)    the pricing, fees, maturity and other immaterial terms of the Additional Revolving Credit Loans may be different and shall be determined by the Borrowers and the Lenders thereunder so long as the final maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity of any Additional Revolving Credit Loans and Additional Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall not be earlier than, or shorter than, as the case may be, the maturity date or the weighted average life to maturity, as applicable, of the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments and related Initial Revolving Credit Loans, and
(ix)    to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Loans, no consent shall be required by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders if such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of any Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans remaining outstanding after the issuance or incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Loans.
(f)    Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect technical and corresponding amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14.
(g)    
(i)    Any Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans (including any New Term Loans and/or Additional Term Loans) of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with 








this Section 2.14(g).  In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the U.S. Borrower, the Spinco Borrower or other applicable Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be identical to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be converted except (x) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.5 or in the Joinder Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted, in each case as more particularly set forth in paragraph (iv) of this Section 2.14(g) below), (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees, premiums or applicable high-yield discount obligation (“AHYDO”) payments may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment and (z) a financial maintenance covenant may be added for the benefit of any Extended Term Loans to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is (I) also added for the benefit of any existing Loans or (II) only applicable after the Latest Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or otherwise, no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted is repaid in full except in accordance with the last sentence of Section 5.1(a).  No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request.  Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted.
(ii)    Each applicable Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class, any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and/or any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, each existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Credit Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Credit Loans”; each Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and related Existing Revolving Credit Loans together being referred to as an “Existing Revolving Credit Class”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Loans related to such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related Loans, “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14(g).  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 of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment”) except (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and/or (B) additional fees and premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), (y) the revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the revolving credit commitment fee rate for the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitment and (z) a financial maintenance covenant may be added for the benefit of any Extended Revolving Credit Loans to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is (I) also added for the benefit of any existing Loans or (II) only applicable after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(f) or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Original Revolving Credit Commitments and (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loans related to such Commitments set forth in Section 13.6.  No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of any 








Existing Revolving Credit Class converted into Extended Revolving Credit Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request.  Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date).
(iii)    Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable.  In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments, New Revolving Credit Commitment or Extended Revolving Credit Commitment included in each such Extension Election.  Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Credit Commitment into an Extended Revolving Credit Commitment, such Extended Revolving Credit Commitment shall be treated identically to all other Original Revolving Credit Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.1(c) and Letters of Credit under Section 3, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the Swingline Maturity Date and/or the Revolving Letter of Credit Maturity Date may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued so long as the Swingline Lender and/or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, have consented to such extensions in their sole discretion (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).
(iv)    Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by this Section 2.14(g)(iv) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, established thereby) executed by the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders.  No Extension Amendment shall provide for any tranche of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $5,000,000.  In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.14(g)(i) or (ii), each Extension Amendment (x) shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5 or the applicable Joinder Agreement with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled Repayment Amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof) and (y) may, but shall not be required to, impose additional requirements (not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement in effect at such time) with respect to the final maturity and weighted average life to maturity of New Term Loans incurred following the date of such Extension Amendment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(g) and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 13.1 to any Section 2.14 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.14 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments are within the requirements of Section 2.14(g)(i) or (ii) and do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to (A) consents applicable to holders of New Term Loans, Additional Term Loans and New Revolving Credit Commitments provided for in any Joinder Agreement and (B) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Credit Parties and other 








parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 13.1.
(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Class is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clauses (i) and/or (ii) above (an “Extension Date”), (I) in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date), and (II) in the case of the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and from any other Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Revolving Credit Commitments, such Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Specified Existing Revolving Credit Commitments to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.
(vi)     The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.14(g) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees, or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment or amendment section) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.14(g).
2.15    Permitted Debt Exchanges.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by a Borrower, the applicable Borrower may from time to time following the Closing Date consummate one or more exchanges of Term Loans for Permitted Other Indebtedness in the form of notes (such notes, “Permitted Debt Exchange Notes,” and each such exchange a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:  (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the final offering document in respect of a Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is delivered to the relevant Lenders, (ii)  the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans exchanged shall equal no more than the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Permitted Debt Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such Term Loans; provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Permitted Debt Exchange Notes may include accrued interest and premium (if any) under the Term Loans exchanged and underwriting discounts, fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the issuance of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes, (iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans exchanged under each applicable Class by such Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by such Borrower on the date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to such Borrower for immediate cancellation), (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of a given Class (calculated on the face amount thereof) tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof of the applicable Class actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class offered to be exchanged by such Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then such Borrower shall exchange Term Loans subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, (v) all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with such Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (vi) any applicable Minimum Tender Condition shall be satisfied.








(b)    With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by any of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Permitted Debt Exchanges (and the cancellation of the exchanged Term Loans in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 5.1 or 5.2, and (ii) such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, provided that subject to the foregoing clause (ii) a Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in such Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered.
(c)    In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, the U.S. Borrower and/or other applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15 and without conflict with Section 2.15(d); provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than a reasonable period (in the discretion of the U.S. Borrower and/or other applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent) of time following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made.
(d)    The applicable Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (x) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with such Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange and (y) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
2.16    Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)    the Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender;
(b)    if any Swingline Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)    all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non- Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments;
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;
(iii)    if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the Letter of Credit Fee with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure so long as it is cash collateralized;
(iv)    if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the Letter of Credit Fee with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; or
(v)    if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.16(b), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender hereunder, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with 








respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;
(c)    so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.16(b), and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and
(d)    any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.8(a) but excluding Section 13.7) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Holdings, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.16 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 2.16 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, (A) when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments of all Letter of Credit Issuers then in effect or (B) with respect to any Letter of Credit Issuer, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, would exceed such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect; (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at the time of the issuance thereof to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; (iii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would at any time prior to the satisfaction of the 2019 Increased Availability Condition cause the aggregate amount of the 2019 Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at the time of the issuance thereof to exceed $450,000,000; (iv) no Letter of Credit in Euro or the Alternative Currency shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the Aggregate Multicurrency Exposures at the time of the issuance thereof to exceed the Multicurrency Sublimit then in effect; (v) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date occurring no later than one year after the date of issuance thereof (except as set forth in Section 3.2(d)), provided that in no event shall such expiration date occur later than the L/C Facility Maturity Date, in each case, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Letter of Credit Issuer; (vi) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars, Euro or an Alternative Currency; (vii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if it would be illegal under any applicable law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor; and (viii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by a Letter of Credit Issuer after it has received a written notice from any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (y) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1.
(c)    Upon at least two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders), each Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitment in whole or in part, provided that, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, (i) the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitment of all Letter of Credit Issuers and (ii) with respect to any Letter of Credit Issuer, the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer shall not exceed such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Letter of Credit Commitment, unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer.
(d)    The parties hereto agree that the Existing Letters of Credit and the Designated Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement, without any further action by the Borrowers, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or any other Person.
(e)    The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(i)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems material to it;
(ii)    the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;
(iii)    except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the U.S. Borrower, such Letter of Credit is in an initial Stated Amount less than $100,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $10,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit;
(iv)    unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, such Letter of Credit is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, Euro or an Alternative Currency;








(v)    such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder; 
(vi)    a default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 3.3 exists or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless, in each case, the Borrowers have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer to eliminate the Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender or such risk has been reallocated in accordance with Section 2.16; or
(vii)    the request (A) is not for a standby Letter of Credit or (B) is for a bank guarantee; or
(viii)    solely in the case of Standard Chartered Bank, the request is for a standby Letter of Credit.
(f)    The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Letter of Credit Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(g)    The Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(h)    The Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 13 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 13 included the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer.
(i)    The parties hereto agree that the 2019 Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement, without any further action by the Borrowers, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person, provided, that, the Credit Parties agree to not extend or renew any of the 2019 Existing Letters of Credit.
3.2    Letter of Credit Requests.
(a)    Whenever a Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or amended, it shall give the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter of Credit Request by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least two (or such lesser number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or amendment; provided that, in the case of any Letter of Credit to be issued or amended by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch or any of its Affiliates or branches, the applicable Borrower shall give such Letter of Credit Request to the Administrative Agent and Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch or such Affiliate or branch by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least five Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or amendment.  Each notice shall be executed by such Borrower and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E (each a “Letter of Credit Request”).
(b)    In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer:  (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the Stated Amount thereof in the relevant currency; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder and (vii) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require.  Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance 








or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(c)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent in writing that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the applicable Borrower and, if not, the Letter of Credit Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Sections 6 and 7 shall not then be satisfied to the extent required thereby, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.
(d)    If the applicable Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof and the applicable Borrower not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Facility Maturity Date, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Letter of Credit Issuer; provided, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (i) the Letter of Credit Issuer has reasonably determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) of Section 3.1 or otherwise), or (ii) it has received written notice on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the applicable Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such extension.
(e)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit (including any Existing Letter of Credit and any 2019 Existing Letter of Credit) to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.  On the last Business Day of each month, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit (including any Existing Letter of Credit and any 2019 Existing Letter of Credit) issued by it that are outstanding at such time.
(f)    The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the applicable Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).
3.3    Letter of Credit Participations.
(a)    Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender (each such Revolving Credit Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.
(b)    In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the 








requirements of such Letter of Credit.  Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.
(c)    In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the applicable Borrower shall not have repaid such amount in full to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each L/C Participant of such failure, and each L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds; provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  If the Letter of Credit Issuer so notifies, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, any L/C Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such L/C Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees that are reasonably and customarily charged by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing.  The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.
(d)    Whenever the Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment in respect of an unpaid Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount so paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations at the Overnight Rate.
(e)    The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including under any of the following circumstances:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that a Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between a Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);








(iii)    any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any 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;
(iv)    the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or
(v)    the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;
provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
3.4    Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.
(a)    Each applicable Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment with respect to any drawing under any Letter of Credit in the same currency in which such drawing was made unless (i) the Letter of Credit Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in the notice of drawing that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (ii) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall have notified the Letter of Credit Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the applicable Borrower will reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars; provided that no Foreign Borrower shall be liable for a Letter of Credit unless such Foreign Borrower is the co-applicant of such Letter of Credit or such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of such Foreign Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.  In the case of any reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing of a Letter of Credit denominated in Euro or an Alternative Currency, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof.  Any such reimbursement shall be made by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) no later than the date that is one Business Day after the date on which the applicable Borrower receives notice of such payment or disbursement (the “Reimbursement Date”), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date, from the Reimbursement Date to the date the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall at all times be (A) with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans plus the ABR as in effect from time to time and, (B) with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in Euros or an Alternative Currency , the Applicable Margin for LIBOREURIBOR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans plus the LIBORAdjusted Daily Simple ESTR as in effect from time to time, (C) with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in Pounds Sterling, the Applicable Margin for SONIA Loans plus the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA as in effect from time to time and (D) with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Sterling), the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans plus (x) the LIBOR as in effect from time to time, providedOvernight Rate for such Alternative Currency or (y) if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that it is unable to determine such rate referred to in clause (x) above with respect to such Alternative Currency, then a rate per annum reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, provided that, if such rate as so determined pursuant to clause (x) or (y) would be less than zero, such rate will be deemed to be zero; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (I) unless such Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date that such Borrower intends to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, such Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that, with respect to Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be denominated in Dollars and which shall be ABR Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in the amount, or Dollar Equivalent of the amount, as applicable, of such drawing and (II) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Credit Loan to such Borrower in Dollars in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent.  Such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount.  The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing the Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing.  In the event that the applicable Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the L/C Facility Maturity Date, the full amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall 








be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 except that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds received from the L/C Participants as contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any Drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Facility Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such cash collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans that have not been paid at such time and third, to the applicable Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Section 3.4(a) shall affect the applicable Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)    The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 3.4 to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that such Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing and without regard to any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of Euro or the Alternative Currency to such Borrower or in the relevant currency markets generally, provided that such Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
3.5    Increased Costs.  If after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or actual compliance by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant with any request or directive made or adopted after the Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law), by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (x) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, or any L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (y) impose on the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant any other conditions affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the actual cost to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the actual amount of any sum received or receivable by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (other than any such increase or reduction attributable to (a) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 or (b) Excluded Taxes) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly after receipt of written demand to the applicable Borrower by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent (with respect to Letter of Credit issued on account of such Borrower)), such Borrower shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant such actual additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date.  A certificate submitted to the applicable Borrower by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such actual additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on such Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error.
3.6    New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer.
(a)    The Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Holdings and the Borrowers.  The applicable Borrower may replace a Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer.  The Borrowers may (i) add Letter of Credit Issuers under this Agreement at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent and/or (ii) with the consent of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, increase the Letter of Credit Commitment of an existing Letter of Credit Issuer.  If the Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrowers shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrowers may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other 








Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment.  At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees applicable to the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 4.1(b) and 4.1(d); provided that no Foreign Borrower shall be liable for a Letter of Credit unless such Foreign Borrower is the co-applicant of such Letter of Credit or such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of such Foreign Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.  The acceptance of any appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become a “Letter of Credit Issuer” hereunder.  Any increase in the Letter of Credit Commitment of a Letter of Credit Issuer in accordance with this Agreement shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such Letters of Credit Issuer, in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. After the resignation or replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.  In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the applicable Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the applicable Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall be denominated in the same currency as, and shall have a face amount equal to, the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back-stopped Letters of Credit.  After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to a Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.1, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrowers, may amend Schedule B to Amendment No. 4 to reflect any change to the Letter of Credit Issuers or Letter of Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 3.6(a). 
(b)    To the extent there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in clause (a) above, any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, any obligations related to the payment of Fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the applicable Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in clause (a) above.
3.7    Role of Letter of Credit Issuer.  Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit 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 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 Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; (b) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  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; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower’s pursuit of such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.3(e); provided that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, such Borrower may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any 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 in each case as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit 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 the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a 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.
3.8    Cash Collateral.
(a)    Upon the request of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders if, as of the L/C Facility Maturity Date, there are any Letters of Credit Outstanding, each applicable Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Letters of Credit Outstanding for which such Borrower is (directly or indirectly) liable.
(b)    The Administrative Agent acting in its reasonable discretion, may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in the event such Cash Collateral previously provided is inadequate as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.
(c)    If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Lenders with Letter of Credit Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Letter of Credit Exposure may require that the L/C Obligations be Cash Collateralized.
(d)    For purposes of this Section 3.8, “Cash Collateralize” (or provide “Cash Collateral”) means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in the currencies in which the Letters of Credit Outstanding are denominated and in an amount equal to the amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding required to be Cash Collateralized pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders).  Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings.  Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the L/C Participants, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure its obligations under the Letters of Credit Outstanding.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent.
3.9    Applicability of ISP and UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit or a 2019 Existing Letter of Credit), (a) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
3.10    Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
3.11    Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary, the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  Each applicable Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Holdings or Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such Borrower if it acted as a co-applicant, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of Holdings and all Restricted Subsidiaries.
3.12    Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.  If the L/C Facility Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (a) if consented to by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer which issued such Letter of Credit, if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the L/C Facility Maturity Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit for which consent has been obtained shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (b) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding 








clause (a), the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3.8.  Upon the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit may be reduced as agreed between the applicable Letter of Credit Issuers and the Borrowers, without the consent of any other Person.
3.13    Letter of Credit Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, provide the Administrative Agent a report (a “Letter of Credit Report”), as set forth below, reasonably prior to the time that such Letter of Credit Issuer issues, amends, renews, increases or extends a Letter of Credit, setting forth the following information:
(a)    the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension and the Stated Amount of the applicable Letters of Credit after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed);
(b)    on each Business Day on which such Letter of Credit Issuer makes a payment pursuant to a Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such payment;
(c)    on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse a payment made pursuant to a Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such Letter of Credit Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment;
(d)    on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer; 
(e)    in connection with the monthly Letter of Credit Report required pursuant to clause (f)(i) below, such Letter of Credit Report shall specify, with respect to each Letter of Credit of such Letter of Credit Issuer then outstanding, (i) the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated, (ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit in the applicable currency as of such date (determined without regard to whether any conditions to drawing could then be met and, with respect to any Letter of Credit that by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document provides for one or more automatic increases in the amount thereof, with the maximum amount available to be drawn being deemed to be the maximum stated amount thereof after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time), (iii) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the Spot Rate used to calculate the Stated Amount and (v) the reference number of such Letter of Credit; and
(f)    for so long as any Letter of Credit issued by a Letter of Credit Issuer is outstanding, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) at all other times a Letter of Credit Report is required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) on each date that (A) a Letter of Credit extension occurs or (B) there is any expiration, cancellation and/or disbursement, in each case, with respect to any such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Report appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment shall be required with respect to any Prepayment Event until the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds from all such Prepayment Events otherwise required pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)(i), after giving effect to the reinvestment rights set forth herein, exceeds the greater of $400,000,000 and 25.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period (such amount, the “General Exclusion Amount”) over the life of this agreement, and then only from such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the General Exclusion Amount.
(ii)    Not later than the date that is 90 days after the last day of any fiscal year (commencing with and including the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021), if, and solely to the extent, Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year exceeds the greater of (x) $240,000,000 and (y) 15.0% of 








Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period, the U.S. Borrower, the Spinco Borrower and/or any other applicable Borrower with respect to outstanding Term Loans, shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid), in accordance with clause (c) below, Term Loans with a Dollar Equivalent principal amount equal to (x) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, provided that (A) the percentage in this Section 5.2(a)(ii) shall be reduced to 25% if the Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto but giving effect to any prepayment described in clause (y) below) for the most recent Test Period ended prior to such prepayment date is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00 but greater than 2.00 to 1.00 and (B) no payment of any Term Loans shall be required under this Section 5.2(a)(ii) if the Consolidated First Lien Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto but giving effect to any prepayment described in clause (y) below) for the most recent Test Period ended prior to such prepayment date is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00, minus (y) the sum of (A) the principal amount of Term Loans voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 13.6 (in each case, including purchases of the Loans by Holdings and its Subsidiaries at or below par, in which case the amount of voluntary prepayments of Loans shall be deemed to be the face value of such Loans) and all voluntary prepayments of Permitted Other Indebtedness or Ratio Debt (in each case secured with a Lien on the Collateral ranking pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations) during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior to the date of the required Excess Cash Flow payment and (B) to the extent accompanied by permanent optional reductions of Revolving Credit Commitments, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, any Revolving Credit Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Loans and Incremental Revolving Credit Loans voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 5.1, (in each case, including purchases of the Loans by Holdings and its Subsidiaries at or below par, in which case the amount of voluntary prepayments of Loans shall be deemed to be the face value of such Loans) during such fiscal year or after such fiscal year and prior to the date of the required Excess Cash Flow payment, in each case in this clause (y), other than to the extent any such prepayment is funded with the proceeds of Funded Debt; provided that, to the extent the sum of the amounts specified in this clause (y) exceed the prepayments required to be made pursuant to clause (x), the full amount of any such excess shall carry over and be deducted from required payments in subsequent years until such time as no excess remains, minus (z) in each case, to the extent not deducted in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow, (I) the aggregate amount of cash consideration paid or committed to be paid by Holdings, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) in connection with Permitted Acquisitions or Investments (including acquisitions made during such period constituting Permitted Investments or made pursuant to Section 10.5 to the extent that such Investments were funded with internally generated cash and were not financed with the proceeds received from the issuance or incurrence of long-term Indebtedness), (II) the amount of Restricted Payments (including dividends) paid or committed to be paid in cash during such period (on a consolidated basis) by Holdings, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent such dividends were not financed with the proceeds received from the issuance or incurrence of long-term Indebtedness, (III) payments in cash by Holdings, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries during such period in respect of any purchase price holdbacks, earn-out obligations and long-term liabilities of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries other than Indebtedness, to the extent not already deducted from Consolidated Net Income and (IV) the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures or acquisitions of Intellectual Property accrued or made in cash, or committed to be made in cash, during such period, except to the extent that such Capital Expenditures or acquisitions were financed with the proceeds of long-term Funded Debt of Holdings, the Borrowers or the Restricted Subsidiaries (unless such Indebtedness has been repaid other than with the proceeds of long-term Funded Debt other than intercompany loans).
(iii)    On each occasion that Permitted Other Indebtedness is issued or incurred pursuant to Section 10.1(w), the Borrowers shall within three Business Days of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Permitted Other Indebtedness prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below, Term Loans with a principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such issuance or incurrence of Permitted Other Indebtedness.
(iv)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.2, (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Prepayment Event by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the U.S. Borrower, the Spinco Borrower or any other Borrower organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to the U.S. Borrower, the Spinco Borrower or other Borrower organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia (the U.S. Borrower, the Spinco Borrower and each other Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable Requirement of Law 








to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days after such repatriation is permitted) applied (net of any taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, as applicable, and (B) to the extent that such Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would have an adverse tax consequence as reasonably determined by Holdings with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that in the case of this clause (B), on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds from any Foreign Prepayment Event so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to clause (i) above (or, in the case of Excess Cash Flow, a date on or before the date that is eighteen months after the date such Excess Cash Flow would have so required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to clause (ii) above unless previously repatriated in which case such repatriated Excess Cash Flow shall have been promptly applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to clause (ii) above), (x) the U.S. Borrower, the Spinco Borrower or any other Borrower organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the U.S. Borrower, the Spinco Borrower or any other Borrower organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of any taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary.
(v)    On any date on which the Spinco Borrower shall cease to be a direct or indirect Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings, the Spinco Borrower shall prepay in full all then-outstanding 2020 Spinco Tranche B-1 Dollar Term Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts due in respect thereof, in Dollars.
(b)    Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans.  (i)  If on the last day of any calendar month of the U.S. Borrower, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures (collectively, the “Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings”) for any reason exceeds 100% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, the Borrowers shall forthwith repay on such date the principal amount of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been paid in full, Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such excess.  If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit Outstanding to the extent of such excess.  If on any date the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Loans for any reason exceeds 100% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrowers shall forthwith repay on such date Revolving Credit Loans of such Class in an amount equal to such excess.  If after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Class, the Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class then in effect, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit Outstanding in relation to such Class to the extent of such excess.
(ii)    If on any date the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Multicurrency Exposures (collectively, the “Aggregate Multicurrency Exposures”) for any reason exceeds 105% of the Multicurrency Sublimit as then in effect, the applicable Borrower shall forthwith repay on such date Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Euro or Alternative Currency in a principal amount such that, after giving effect to such repayment, the Aggregate Multicurrency Exposures do not exceed 100% of the Multicurrency Sublimit.  If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Euro or Alternative Currency, the Aggregate Multicurrency Exposures exceed 100% of the Multicurrency Sublimit, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Euro or Alternative Currencies to the extent of such excess.
(c)    Application to Repayment Amounts.  Subject to Section 5.2(f), each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i) or (ii) shall be allocated pro rata among the 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans, the 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Euro Term Loans, the 2020 Spinco Tranche B-1 Dollar Term Loans, the Series A New Term Loans, the other New Term Loans, the Additional Term Loans and the Extended Term Loans based on the applicable remaining Repayment Amounts due thereunder and shall be applied first, to accrued interest and fees due on the amount of prepayment of Term Loans and second, within each Class of Term Loans in respect of such Term Loans in direct order of maturity thereof; provided that if any Class of Extended Term Loans 








have been established hereunder, the U.S. Borrower or the Spinco Borrower may allocate such prepayment in its sole discretion to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class, if any, from which such Extended Term Loans were converted.  Subject to Section 5.2(f), with respect to each such prepayment, the U.S. Borrower or the Spinco Borrower will, not later than the date specified in Section 5.2(a) for making such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent written notice which shall include a calculation of the amount of such prepayment to be applied to each Class of Term Loans requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of such prepayment to each 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loan Lender, 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Euro Term Loan Lender, 2020 Spinco Tranche B-1 Dollar Term Loan Lender, New Term Loan Lender, Additional Term Loan Lender or Extended Term Loan Lender, as applicable.
(d)    Application to Term Loans.  With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a), the U.S. Borrower or the Spinco Borrower may, if applicable, designate the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such prepayments are to be made; provided, that if any Lender has provided a Rejection Notice in compliance with Section 5.2(f), such prepayment shall be applied with respect to the Term Loans to be prepaid on a pro rata basis across all outstanding Types of such Term Loans in proportion to the percentage of such outstanding Term Loans to be prepaid represented by each such Class.  In the absence of a Rejection Notice or a designation by the U.S. Borrower or the Spinco Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.
(e)    Application to Revolving Credit Loans.  With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans required by Section 5.2(b), the Borrowers may designate (i) the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such prepayments are to be made and (ii) the Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid, provided that (y) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; and (z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), no prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Borrowers.  In the absence of a designation by the Borrowers as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.
(f)    Rejection Right.  Holdings or the U.S. Borrower or the Spinco Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans of the contents of such prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment.  Each Term Loan Lender may reject all (but not less than all) of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment other than any such mandatory prepayment (i) with respect to a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event under Section 5.2(a)(i) or (ii) required under Section 5.2(a)(v) (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and Holdings no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment.  If a 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 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 remaining thereafter shall be retained by the U.S. Borrower, the Spinco Borrower or other Borrower, as applicable (“Retained Declined Proceeds”).
5.3    Method and Place of Payment.
(a)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by each Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto (or, in the case of the Swingline Loans to the Swingline Lender) or the Letter of Credit Issuer entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrowers (or, in the case of the Swingline Loans, at such office as the Swingline Lender shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrowers), it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the applicable Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account.  All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder shall be made in the currency in which such Loans are denominated and all other payments under each Credit Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Credit Document, be made in Dollars.  The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent 








prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) (or in the case of any payment denominated in any currency other than Dollars, 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)) or, otherwise, on the next Business Day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.
(b)    Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) may be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (or, in the case of the Swingline Loans, at the Swingline Lender’s sole discretion).  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.
5.4    Net Payments.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.
(i)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, applicable laws require any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such laws as reasonably determined by such withholding agent.
(ii)    If any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such withholding agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably determined by such withholding agent to be required by applicable law, (B) such withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or deductions have been made (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or timely reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of any Other Taxes.
(c)    Tax Indemnifications.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, (i) in respect of any Borrowing by the Borrowers, the U.S. Borrower shall, and does hereby, (ii) in respect of any Borrowing by the Spinco Borrower, the Spinco Borrower shall, and does hereby,  (iii) in respect of any Borrowing by the German Borrower, the German Borrower shall, and does hereby, (iv) in respect of any Borrowing by the UK Borrower, the UK Borrower shall and does hereby and (v) in respect of any Borrowing of Additional Term Loans, the applicable Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4, but excluding any amounts to the extent recoverable by a Protected Party pursuant to Section 14.3(a) (or that would have been so recoverable but was not so recoverable solely because of one of the exclusions in Section 14.3(b)) payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability (along with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts) delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  If the applicable Borrower reasonably believes that any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent and/or each affected Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower in pursuing a refund of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or affected Lender, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it.
(d)    Evidence of Payments.  After any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.4, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the applicable Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such 








payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)    Status of Lenders and the Administrative Agent; Tax Documentation.
(i)    Each Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Credit Party pursuant to any Credit Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction, or to enable to the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with any withholding or information reporting requirements. Any documentation and information required to be delivered by a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.4(e) (including any specific documentation set forth in subsection (ii) below) shall be delivered by such Lender (I) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (II) on or before any date on which such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (III) after the occurrence of any change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (IV) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and each such Lender shall promptly notify in writing such Borrower and the Administrative Agent if such Lender is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously provided.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A)    any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by such U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements;
(B)    each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or any applicable successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;
(2)    executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto);
(3)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit K (a “Non-Bank Tax Certificate”), to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (I) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (II) a “10 percent shareholder” of the U.S. Borrower, Spinco Borrower or other Borrower organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (III) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payments under any Credit Document are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Lender’s conduct of a United States trade or business and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or any applicable successor forms);








(4)    where such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption, a Non-Bank Tax Certificate of such beneficial owner(s)) (provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the Non-Bank Tax Certificate(s) may be provided by the Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of the beneficial owner(s)); or
(5)    executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(C)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for any Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, no Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver.
(iv)    If the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, it shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower executed originals or copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 on or before the date on which it becomes a party to any Credit Document (and from time to time thereafter whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms obsolete or inaccurate or upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower). If the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, it shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower on or before the date on which it becomes a party to any Credit Document (and from time to time thereafter whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms obsolete or inaccurate or upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower): (A) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, and (B) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the U.S. Borrower to be treated as a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code with respect to such payments (and the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a United States person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations).
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Subject to the last sentence in Section 5.4(c), at no time shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.4, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable)  shall promptly pay to the applicable Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Parties under this Section 5.4 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect 








to such refund); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  In such event, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at such Borrower’s request, provide such Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that it deems confidential).  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.
(g)    For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of Credit Issuer and any Swingline Lender.
5.5    Computations of Interest and Fees.
(a)    Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans and ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.  Interest on ABR Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the Administrative Agent’s prime rate and interest on SONIA Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.
(b)    Fees and the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar- or Euro-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar- or Euro-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in another currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in another currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar- or Euro-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. Dollar- or Euro-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (I) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (II) the aggregate amount of fees, 








underwriting discounts, premiums, accrued and unpaid interest and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing.
The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if 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 respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
This Agreement will not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

12.2    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, subagents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
12.3    Exculpatory Provisions.  No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of Holdings, any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents, or for any failure of Holdings, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.
12.4    Reliance by Agents.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex, teletype or electronic message, statement, order or other document or instruction believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings and the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law.  For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 6 on the Closing Date, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.








12.5    Notice of Default.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Holdings or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable.
12.6    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Holdings, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer.  Each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings, any Borrower, Guarantor and other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings, any Borrower, any Guarantor and any other Credit Party.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of Holdings, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
12.7    Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to severally indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against an Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.7.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), this Section 12.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Holdings or any Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect Holdings’ or such Borrower’s 








continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto.  If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
12.8    Agents in Their Individual Capacities.  Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, any Borrower, any Guarantor, and any other Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.  With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
12.9    Successor Agents.  Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and Holdings.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of Holdings (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 12.9).  The fees payable by Holdings (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Holdings and such successor.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section 12 (including Section 12.7) and Section 13.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.
Any resignation by Citibank, N.A. as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.9 shall also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and its Affiliates’ resignation as Swingline Lender.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
12.10    Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or 








because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Credit Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. 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 Credit Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.10. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.10, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of Credit Issuer and any Swingline Lender.
12.11    Agents Under Security Documents and Guarantee.  Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents.  Subject to Section 13.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to, in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise consented, (a) release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) under any Credit Document (i) upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Obligations hereunder (except for (w) contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet been made, (x) Secured Working Capital Obligations, (y) Secured Hedge Obligations and (z) Secured Cash Management Obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold or transferred as part of or in connection with any sale or other transfer permitted hereunder to a Person that is not a Credit Party or in connection with the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (iii) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee, (iv) as to the extent provided in the Security Documents, (v) that constitutes Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 13.1; (b) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee; (c) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (q), (v), (aa), (dd) and (ee) of the definition of Permitted Liens or Liens securing Indebtedness pursuant to clasues (d), (k) and (v) of Section 10.01; provided that the subordination of any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall only be required to the extent that the Lien of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to such property is required to be subordinated to the relevant Permitted Lien in accordance with the documentation governing the Indebtedness that is secured by such Permitted Lien; and (d) enter into subordination, intercreditor and/or similar agreements contemplated hereunder with respect to Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Agreement that is (i) required or, if requested by a Borrower, permitted to be subordinated hereunder, (ii) secured by Permitted Liens, and with respect to which Indebtedness and/or Liens, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination, collateral trust agreement or similar agreement and/or (iii) contemplates the entry into collateral allocation and/or loss sharing arrangements.
The Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by any such Borrower under this Section 12.11, irrespective of any discharge of such Borrower’s obligations to pay those amounts to the other Lenders resulting from failure by them to take appropriate steps in insolvency proceedings affecting such Borrower to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts.
Any amount due and payable by any Borrower to the Collateral Agent under this Section 12.11 shall be decreased to the extent that the other Lenders have received (and are able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Credit Documents and any amount due and payable by any Borrower to the Collateral Agent under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent that the Collateral Agent has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under this Section 12.11.
12.12    Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee.  Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Holdings, the Agents and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the 








purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. No holder of Secured Working Capital Obligations, Secured Hedge Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations shall have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement.  No holder of Secured Working Capital Obligations, Secured Hedge Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Credit 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 Credit 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 Credit Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Working Capital Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements.
12.13    German Security.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to the German Security and the German Security Documents, the terms and provisions of this Section 12.13 shall control and be binding.
(b)    With respect to the German Security and the German Security Documents, the Collateral Agent will:
(i)    hold and administer any German Security which is assigned or otherwise transferred (Sicherungseigentum/Sicherungsabtretung) under a non-accessory security right (nicht akzessorische Sicherheit) to it as trustee (Treuhänder) for the benefit of the Lenders; and
(ii)    administer any German Security which is pledged (Verpfändung) or otherwise transferred to a Lender under an accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) as agent.
(c)    With respect to the German Security and the German Security Documents, each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents):
(i)    to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Collateral Agent by this Agreement and the German Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto;
(ii)    to take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in accordance with this Agreement and the German Security Documents; and
(iii)    to execute for and on its behalf any and all German Security Documents to which it is a party and to accept as its representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory right made to any such Lender in relation to this Agreement.
(d)    Each Lender, the Collateral Agent and each Borrower acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent will be exempted from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code and may delegate its power (including the release from the restrictions of Section 181 of the German Civil Code) by way of granting a substitute power of attorney.
(e)    Sections 12.13(c)(i), (ii) and (iii) and 12.13(d) above shall be governed by German law except for the German conflict of law rules.  The non-exclusive place of jurisdiction to settle any disputes which arise out of, or are connected to, Section 12.14 shall be Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
(f)    The Collateral Agent may take such action (including, without limitation, the exercise of all rights, discretions or powers and the granting of consents or releases or the engagement of a notary for execution of any documents required in notarial form) or, as the case may be, refrain from taking such action under or pursuant to the German Security Documents as the Lenders will specifically direct the Collateral Agent in writing from time to time.
(g)    Unless the Collateral Agent has been so directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent will not take any action under the German Security Documents; provided that it may (but is not be obliged to) take such action as permitted under the German Security Documents as it reasonably considers necessary or 








appropriate to protect the interests of the Secured Parties under the German Security Documents but the Credit Parties will not be concerned with whether the Collateral Agent will be acting in accordance with these provisions and will be conclusively entitled to assume that the Collateral Agent has all the necessary right, title and authority to do so.
12.14    Parallel Debt.
(a)    For the purpose of any German Security Document, the German Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes, by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt, to pay to the Collateral Agent as creditor in its own right and not as representative of the Secured Parties, an amount equal to the aggregate of all Obligations of the German Borrower to each Secured Party from time to time due in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Obligations (such payment undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof, hereinafter being the “Parallel Debt”).
(b)    The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parallel Debt constitutes undertakings, obligations and liabilities of the German Borrower to the Collateral Agent which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Obligations which the German Borrower have to any Secured Party, and (ii) that the Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Agent’s own claim to receive payment of such Parallel Debt by the German Borrower; provided that the total amount which may become due under the Parallel Debt of the German Borrower under this Section 12.14(b) shall never exceed the total amount which may become due under all the Obligations of the German Borrower to the Secured Parties.
(c)    The total amount due by the German Borrower as the Parallel Debt under this Section 12.14 shall be decreased to the extent that the German Borrower shall have paid any amounts to the Secured Parties or any of them to reduce the German Borrower’s outstanding Obligations or a Secured Party otherwise receives any amount in payment of such Obligations (other than by virtue of Section 12.14(d) below).
(d)    To the extent that the German Borrower shall have paid any amounts to the Collateral Agent under the Parallel Debt or the Collateral Agent shall have otherwise received monies in payment of such Parallel Debt from the German Borrower, the total amount due under the Obligations of the German Borrower shall be decreased.
(e)    All monies received or recovered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12.14, and all amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any Lien granted to secure a Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement.
(f)    For the purpose of this Section 12.14, the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent, representative or trustee of any other Secured Party and its claims in respect of a Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust.
(g)    Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the German Borrower (whether under this Section 12.14 or under any other provision of the Credit Documents), the German Borrower acknowledges that:
(i)    nothing in this Section 12.14 shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent to advance any sum to the German Borrower or otherwise under any Credit Document, except in its capacity as a Lender; and
(ii)    for the purpose of any vote taken under any Credit Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Lender.
(h)    For the avoidance of doubt, a Parallel Debt will become due and payable at the same time the German Borrower’s Obligations become due and payable.
12.15    Certain ERISA Matters.  (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(ii)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except (x) that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders) and (y) for any such amendment, waiver or consent that treats such Defaulting Lender disproportionately from the other Lenders of the same Class.

In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or modification that directly and adversely changes the rights of payments of one Class of Lenders differently than another Class of Lenders or directly and adversely affects the rights to the Collateral of one Class of Lenders differently than another Class of Lenders shall require the consent of Persons holding a majority of the Commitments and/or Loans of such directly and adversely affected Class.

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 Credit Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (II) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions related to such new Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, Holdings, the U.S. Borrower, the Spinco Borrower, if applicable, and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche (“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 Refinanced Term Loans (plus an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid interest, fees, premiums, and expenses incurred in connection therewith), (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced 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 Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans) 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 Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans of such Class in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Obligations hereunder (except for (i) contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet been made, (ii) Secured Hedge Obligations and (iii) Secured Cash Management Obligations), (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with this Section 13.1), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee (in accordance with the second following sentence) and (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents.  Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents.  Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the Credit Documents may be amended to (i) add syndication or documentation agents and make customary changes and references related thereto and (ii) add or modify “parallel debt” language in any jurisdiction in favor of the Collateral Agent or add Collateral Agents, in each case (i) and (ii) with the consent of only the U.S. Borrower or the Spinco Borrower, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent and in the case of (ii) the Collateral Agent.

restatement or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement 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 taken as a whole); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise directly and adversely affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; (iii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be amended (or amended and restated) by an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings and the Administrative Agent to (x) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and Holdings) or (y) effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature (including to effect changes to the terms and conditions applicable solely to the Swingline Lender and any Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of issuances of Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit) and such amendment or amendment and restatement shall be deemed approved by the Lenders if the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of such change and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; (iv) Schedule B to Amendment No. 4 may be amended (or amended and restated) to effect a change or increase in Letter of Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 3.6 (and the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents without the consent of any other party as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Holdings, to effect the terms of any such change in Letter of Credit Commitments) and (v) guarantees, collateral documents and related documents (including the annexes, exhibits and schedules to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents) executed by the applicable Credit Party or Credit Parties in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with any other Credit Document, entered into, amended, restated, supplemented or waived, without the consent of any other Person, by the applicable Credit Party or Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its or their respective sole discretion, to (A) effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (B) as required by local law or advice of counsel to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law, or (C) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) or to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Holdings and each Borrower agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, as counsel to the Agents, or such other counsel retained with Holdings’ consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (b) to pay or reimburse each Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, as counsel to the Agents, or such other counsel retained with Holdings’ consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer and Agent from, any and all recording and filing fees and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer and Agent and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members, advisors, agents or successors and permitted assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all other out-of-pocket expenses, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to such Indemnified Parties (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses in which case each such Indemnified Party may retain its own counsel retained with Holdings’ consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)), related to the Transactions (including, without limitation, the Acquisition, the Distribution, the Merger and the Spinco Designation) or, with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law, in each case, applicable to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or to any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials involving or attributable to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or any of its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members, advisors, agents or successors and assigns, (ii) a material breach of any Credit Document by such Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or any of its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members, advisors, agents or successors and permitted assigns or (iii) any dispute, proceeding or claim between and among Indemnified Parties otherwise entitled to indemnification (other than any dispute, proceeding or claim arising out of any act or omission of Holdings or any Borrower or Guarantor); provided that the Agents (and their related affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, advisors and other representatives), to the extent acting in their capacity as such, shall remain indemnified in respect of such dispute, proceeding or claim to the extent otherwise entitled to be so indemnified hereunder. Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to pay or reimburse any allocated costs of in-house counsel. No Indemnified Party 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, nor shall any Indemnified Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).  No Credit Party shall have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages resulting from this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith; provided that the foregoing shall not limit Holdings’ and the Borrowers’ indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 13.5 in respect of damages incurred or paid by an Indemnified Party to a third party. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Credit Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto.  All amounts payable under this Section 13.5 shall be paid within ten Business Days of receipt by Holdings of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable retail.  The agreements in this Section 13.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 13.5 shall not apply with respect to any claims for Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.4 (other than any Taxes that represented losses, claims or damages arising from a non-Tax claim) and, to the extent set forth therein, Sections 2.10 and 3.5.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 13.5 shall cause a Foreign Borrower to be liable for the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower, the Spinco Borrower or any other Borrower organized under the laws of the 








United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia in regards to its Borrowings under any Term Loans or under any Revolving Credit Loans.
13.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 10.3, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.6.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 13.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders and each other Person entitled to indemnification under Section 13.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    (i)  Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; it being understood that, without limitation, the Borrowers shall have the right to withhold or delay its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrowers would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority) of:
(A)    the applicable Borrowers, provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required for (I) an assignment of Term Loans to (X) a Lender, (Y) an Affiliate of a Lender, or (Z) an Approved Fund, (II) an assignment of Loans or Commitments to any other assignee if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 (with respect to Holdings or the Borrowers) has occurred and is continuing or (III) an assignment of Term Loans only, unless a Borrower has objected thereto by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of a written request for consent thereto; and
(B)    the Administrative Agent and, in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans only, the Swingline Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, shall be required for (I) an assignment of any Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (II) an assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans to a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender or an Approved Fund.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) no such assignment shall be made to a natural person, Disqualified Lender or Defaulting Lender or, with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, any Affiliated Lender (other than (x) an Affiliated Institutional Lender, (y) KKR Corporate Lending LLC and (z) MCS Corporate Lending LLC) and (2) no consent of any Person shall be required for assignments of any Loans or Commitments between Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC.  In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary no more than 30% of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class may be held by Affiliated Institutional Lenders, KKR Corporate Lending LLC and MCS Corporate Lending LLC in the aggregate.
(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s 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 Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments and $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans, unless each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing; provided further that contemporaneous assignments to a single 








assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;
(B)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;
(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system or other method reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment;
(D)    the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and applicable tax forms; and
(E)    any assignment to Holdings, a Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender shall also be subject to the requirements of Section 13.6(h).
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 13.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5, 5.4 and 13.5).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 13.6.  For the avoidance of doubt, in case of an assignment to a new Lender pursuant to this Section 13.6, (A) the Administrative Agent, the new Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the new Lender been an original Lender signatory to this Agreement with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the assignment and to the extent of the assignment the assigning Lender shall each be released from further obligations under the Credit Documents and (B) the benefit of each Security Document shall be maintained in favor of the new Lender.
(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (and related interest amounts) and any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  Further, each Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and, with respect to itself, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 13.6(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 13.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.








(c)    (i)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than (x) Holdings and its Subsidiaries and (y) any Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) or (vii) of the second proviso to Section 13.1 that affects such Participant.  Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6, including the requirements of clause (e) of Section 5.4 ).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender.
(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the sale of such the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (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.  No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
(d)    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 to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.  Each Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after such Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, such Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at such Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 or H-2, as applicable, evidencing the 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans, 2020 GDI Tranche B-2 Euro Term Loans, 2020 Spinco Tranche B-1 Dollar Term Loans, any New Term Loans, Additional Term Loans  and Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, respectively, owing to such Lender.
(e)    Subject to Section 13.16, each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.
(f)    The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance 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.








(g)    SPV Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrowers and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.  This Section 13.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to the following sentence, each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6, including the requirements of clause (e) of Section 5.4). Notwithstanding the prior sentence, an SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to such SPV, unless such grant to such SPV is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to Holdings, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender and (y) Holdings, any Borrower and any Subsidiary may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Term Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between Holdings or such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction) or (y) open market purchases; provided that:
(i)    any Loans or Commitments acquired by Holdings, any Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof;
(ii)    by its acquisition of Loans or Commitments, an Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:
(A)    it shall not have any right to (I) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrowers are not then present, (II) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrowers or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section II), or (III) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Credit Documents; and
(B)    except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action described in clause (i) or (vii) of the second proviso of Section 13.1 or that alters an Affiliated Lenders pro rata share of any payments given to all Lenders, the Loans held by an Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of 








any Lender vote (and shall be deemed to have been voted in the same percentage as all other applicable Lenders voted if necessary to give legal effect to this paragraph); and
(iii)    the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 30% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding at such time under this Agreement; and
(iv)    any such Loans acquired by an Affiliated Lender may, with the consent of the Borrowers, be contributed to the Borrowers and exchanged for debt or equity securities that are otherwise permitted to be issued at such time (and such Loans or Commitments shall be retired and cancelled promptly).
For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitations shall not be applicable to Affiliated Institutional Lenders.
13.7    Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.
(a)    The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace (and/or terminate the Commitment of) any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4, (ii) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank or other financial institution, provided that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) no Event of Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) the Borrowers shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (D) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (E) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 13.6(b), (F) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6 (provided that the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (G) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
(b)    If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 requires the consent of either (i) all of the Lenders affected (or directly and adversely affected) or (ii) all of the Lenders, and, in each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders (or more than 50% of the directly and adversely affected Lenders) shall have granted their consent, then, the Borrowers shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace (and/or terminate the Commitment of) such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that (A) all Obligations hereunder of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (B) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (C) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender the amount, if any, owing to such Lender pursuant to Section 5.1(b).  In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6.
13.8    Adjustments; Set-off.
(a)    Except as contemplated in Section 13.6 or elsewhere herein, if any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b)    After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to 








the Credit Parties, any such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Credit Parties hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Credit Parties.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Credit Parties 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 set-off and application.
13.9    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
13.10    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
13.11    Integration.  This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.
13.12    GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
13.13    Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a)    submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York sitting in New York City in the borough of Manhattan and appellate courts from any thereof;

(d)    agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or another Secured Party to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against holdings or any Borrower or any other Credit Party in any other jurisdiction; and

13.17    Direct Website Communications.  Each of Holdings and each Borrower may, at its option, provide to the Administrative Agent any information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or Interest Period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit thereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent at an email address provided by the Administrative Agent from time to time; provided that (i) upon written request by the Administrative Agent, Holdings or such Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each Lender until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent and (ii) Holdings or such Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies of such documents. Nothing in this Section 13.17 shall prejudice the right of Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document.
The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents.  Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents.  Each Lender agrees (x) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (y) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
(a)    Each of Holdings and each Borrower further agrees that any Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”), so long as the access to such Platform (i) is limited to the Agents, the Lenders and Transferees or prospective Transferees and (ii) remains subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 13.16.
(b)    THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”.  THE AGENT PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY MATERIALS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE CREDIT PARTIES (THE “BORROWER MATERIALS”) OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties” and each an “Agent Party”) have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrowers’ or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party resulted from such Agent Party’s (or any of its Related Parties’ (other than any trustee or advisor)) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Credit Documents as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.








(c)    Each of Holdings and each Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, any Borrower, the Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to the Credit Documents or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any document or notice that Holdings or a Borrower has indicated contains only publicly available information with respect to Holdings or such Borrower may be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders.  If Holdings or such Borrower has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered contains only publicly available information, the Administrative Agent shall post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to Holdings, any Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Holdings and each Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to indicate whether any document or notice contains only publicly available information.
13.18    USA PATRIOT Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation.  Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
13.19    Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of a Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from such Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
13.20    Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Holdings or any Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent 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 such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding 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 severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any 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.
13.21    Euro.  If at any time that a Loan (or Letter of Credit) denominated in an Alternative Currency is outstanding and the relevant Alternative Currency is fully replaced by the Euro as the lawful currency of the country that issued such Alternative Currency (the “Issuing Country”) so that all payments are to be made in the Issuing Country in Euro and not in the Alternative Currency previously the lawful currency of such country, then such Loan denominated in such Alternative Currency shall be automatically converted into a Loan denominated in Euro in a principal amount equal to the amount of Euro into which the principal amount of such Alternative Currency denominated Loan would be converted pursuant to law and thereafter no further Loans will be available in such Alternative Currency.
13.22    Special Provisions Relating to Currencies Other Than Dollars.  All funds to be made available to Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement in any currency other than Dollars shall be made available to Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds to such account with such bank in such principal financial center as the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, shall from time to time nominate for this purpose. In relation to the payment of any amount denominated in any currency other than Dollars, neither the 








Administrative Agent nor the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to Borrowers or any of the Lenders for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer if the Administrative Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer shall have taken all relevant and necessary steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in the relevant currency) to the account with the bank in the principal financial center in the Participating Member State which Borrowers or, as the case may be, any Lender shall have specified for such purpose. In this Section 13.22, “all relevant and necessary steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of such currency. Furthermore, and without limiting the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to the Borrowers or any of the Lenders with respect to the foregoing matters in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
13.23    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit 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 Credit 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 Credit Document; or
(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.
13.24    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): 
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit 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 Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.










Section 14.    Certain UK Borrower Provisions
14.1    UK Taxes.  The provisions of this Section 14 shall only apply in respect of the UK Borrower to whom the provisions of Section 874 of the ITA would apply (ignoring any exceptions) on the payment of any amount of interest (a “UK Relevant Borrower”) to the relevant UK Lender. The provisions of this Section 14 are in addition to the other Tax provisions in this Agreement or any other Credit Document relating to all Borrowers and in the event of any inconsistency between those Tax provisions and this Section 14, the provisions of this Section 14 shall prevail with regard to the matters of Tax applicable to the UK Borrower.
14.2    Tax Gross-Up.
(a)    The UK Relevant Borrower shall make all payments to be made by it under any Credit Document without any Tax Deduction unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.
(b)    The UK Relevant Borrower shall, promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Administrative Agent accordingly.  Similarly, the relevant UK Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that UK Lender.  If the Administrative Agent  receives such notification from a UK Lender it shall notify the UK Relevant Borrower.
(c)    If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the UK Relevant Borrower, the amount of the payment due from the UK Relevant Borrower shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
(d)    A payment shall not be increased under Section 14.2(c) above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Tax imposed by the United Kingdom if, on the date on which the payment falls due:
(i)    the payment could have been made to the relevant UK Lender without a Tax Deduction if the UK Lender had been a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that such UK Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a UK Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
(ii)    the relevant UK Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (a)(ii) of the definition of Qualifying Lender, and:
(A)    an officer of H.M. Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under Section 931 of the ITA which relates to the payment and that UK Lender has received from the UK Relevant Borrower making the payment a certified copy of that Direction; and
(B)    the payment could have been made to such UK Lender without any Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or
(iii)    the relevant UK Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (a)(ii) of the definition of Qualifying Lender and:
(A)    the relevant UK Lender has not given a Tax Confirmation to the UK Relevant Borrower; and
(B)    the payment could have been made to the UK Lender without any Tax Deduction if the UK Lender had given a Tax Confirmation to the UK Relevant Borrower, on the basis that the Tax Confirmation would have enabled the UK Relevant Borrower to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of Section 930 of the ITA.
(iv)    the relevant UK Lender is a Treaty Lender and the UK Relevant Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the UK Lender without the Tax Deduction had that UK Lender complied with its obligations under Section 14.2(g) below.








(e)    If the UK Relevant Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction, that UK Relevant Borrower shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.
(f)    Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the UK Relevant Borrower making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the UK Lender entitled to the payment a statement under Section 975 of the ITA or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to that UK Lender that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.
(g)    A Treaty Lender and each UK Relevant Borrower which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that UK Relevant Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any procedural formalities necessary for the UK Relevant Borrower to obtain authorization to make any payment without a Tax Deduction where the UK Relevant Borrower has not made a DTTP2 filing in respect of that Treaty Lender, or where the DTTP2 filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs or HM Revenue & Customs have not given the UK Relevant Borrower authority to make payments to that Treaty Lender without a Tax Deduction).
(h)    A UK Non-Bank Lender which becomes a party on the day on which this Agreement is entered into gives a Tax Confirmation to the UK Relevant Borrower by entering into this Agreement.
(i)    A UK Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify the UK Relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the Tax Confirmation.
(j)    A Treaty 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 Administrative Agent and without liability to any UK Relevant Borrower) by notifying the Administrative Agent of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence.
(k)    Where the UK Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies the UK Relevant Borrower of the same as described in Section 14.2(j) above, the UK Relevant Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such UK Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of receipt of such notice and shall promptly provide the UK Lender with a copy of that filing.
(l)    If the UK Lender has not included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 14.2(j) above or Section 14.6 (HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme confirmation), no UK Relevant Borrower shall file any form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that UK Lender’s advance or its participation in any advance unless the UK Lender otherwise agrees.
14.3    Tax indemnity.
(a)    The UK Relevant Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Administrative Agent ) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Credit Document.
(b)    Section 14.3(a) above shall not apply:
(i)    with respect to any Tax assessed on a Protected Party:
(A)    under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Protected Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Protected Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or
(B)    under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Protected Party’s facility office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,
if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Protected Party; or








(ii)    to the extent a loss, liability or cost:
(A)    is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 14.2 (Tax gross-up); 
(B)    would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 14.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 14.2(d) (Tax gross-up) applied; or
(C)    relates to a FATCA deduction required to be made by a Protected Party.
(c)    The Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under Section 14.3(a) above shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Administrative Agent shall notify the UK Relevant Borrower.
(d)    The Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from the UK Relevant Borrower under Section 14.3, notify the Administrative Agent.
14.4    Tax Credit.  If the UK Relevant Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant UK Lender reasonably determines that (1) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and (2) that UK Lender has obtained and utilized that Tax Credit, the relevant UK Lender shall pay an amount to the UK Relevant Borrower which that UK Lender reasonably determines 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 UK Relevant Borrower.
14.5    Lender Status Confirmation.  Each UK Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of hereof in accordance with Section 13.6 (“New UK Lender”) shall indicate, in the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement which it executes on becoming a party, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent  and without liability to any UK Relevant Borrower, which of the following categories it falls within:
(a)    not a Qualifying Lender;
(b)    a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or
(c)    a Treaty Lender.
If a New UK Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 14.5, then such New UK Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Relevant Borrower) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category of Qualifying Lender applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the UK Relevant Borrower).  For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Acceptance shall not be invalidated by any failure of a New UK Lender to comply with this Section 14.5.
14.6    HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme Confirmation.
(a)    A New UK Lender that is a Treaty 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 UK Relevant Borrower) in the Assignment and Acceptance which it executes by including its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in that Assignment and Acceptance.
(b)    Where an Assignment and Acceptance includes the indication described in Section 14.6(a) above in the relevant Assignment and Acceptance each UK Relevant Borrower which is a party as a Borrower as at the date that the relevant Assignment and Acceptance Agreement is executed (the “Transfer Date”) shall file a duly completed form DTTP2 in respect of such Lender with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of that Transfer Date and shall promptly provide the UK Lender with a copy of that filing.








14.7    Stamp Taxes.  The UK Relevant Borrower shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify the UK Lender against any cost, loss or liability that UK Lender incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Credit Document.
14.8    Change in UK Lender. 
(a)    If:
(i)    a UK Lender assigns its rights or obligations under the Credit Documents or changes its facility office; and
(ii)    as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment or change occurs, a UK Relevant Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New UK Lender or UK Lender acting through its new facility office under Section 14.2,
then the New UK Lender or UK Lender acting through its new facility office is only entitled to receive payment under those Sections to the same extent as the UK Lender assigning its rights or obligations under the Credit Documents or UK Lender acting through its previous facility office would have been if the assignment or change had not occurred.  
(b)    Section 14.8(a) shall not apply to a Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 14.6 if the UK Relevant Borrower making the payment has not made a DTTP2 filing in respect of that Treaty Lender.
Section 15.    Value Added Tax.
(a)    All amounts set out or expressed in a Credit Document to be payable by a Foreign Borrower to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to subparagraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender to any party under a Credit Document and such Foreign Borrower is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, such Foreign Borrower shall pay to the relevant Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (provided that such Lender has provided an appropriate VAT invoice to such Foreign Borrower).
(b)    If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender (the “Recipient”) under a Credit Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Credit 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) where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and (ii) where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.
(c)    Where a Credit Document requires a Lender or Foreign Borrower to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense, such party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(d)    Any reference in this Section 15 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group 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 United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994).








Section 16.    Determination.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 14 and Section 15, a reference to “determines” or “determined” in connection with tax provisions contained in Section 14 and Section 15 means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination.
Section 17.    Conduct of Business by the Secured Parties. No provision of this Agreement will, save as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement: (a) interfere with the right of any Lender to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit; (b) oblige any Lender to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or (c) oblige any Lender to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.
