(a)          Notice Procedures.  In connection with each Dutch Auction, the Auction Offeror will notify the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Term Lenders) of the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Dutch Auction by delivering to the Auction Manager a written notice in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount of Term Loans the Auction Offeror is willing to purchase (by assignment) in the Dutch Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,0000 in excess of thereof, (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 of Term Loans, at which the Auction Offeror would be willing to purchase Term Loans in the Dutch Auction and (iii) the date on which the Dutch Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due at the time provided in the Auction Notice (such time, the “Expiration Time”), as such date and time may be extended upon notice by the Auction Offeror to the Auction Manager not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time. The Auction Manager will deliver a copy of the auction procedures documentation (the “Offer Documents”) for such Dutch Auction to each Term Lender promptly following completion thereof.








18















(b)          Reply Procedures.  In connection with any Dutch Auction, each Term Lender holding Term Loans wishing to participate in such Dutch Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (the “Return Bid”) to be included in the Offer Documents, which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 of Term Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans, in an amount not less than $2,000,000, that such Term Lender is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”); provided that each Term Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount equals the entire amount of the Term Loans held by such Term Lender at such time. A Term Lender may only submit one Return Bid per Dutch Auction, but each Return Bid may contain up to three component bids (or such other amount as may be determined by the Auction Manager), each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid (as defined below) and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Term Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid.  In addition to the Return Bid, a participating Term Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an assignment and acceptance in the form included in the Offer Documents which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Auction Manager (the “Auction Assignment and Acceptance”).  The Auction Offeror will not purchase any Term Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).







(c)          Acceptance Procedures.  Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Auction Offeror, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Dutch Auction within the Discount Range for the Dutch Auction that will allow the Auction Offeror to complete the Dutch Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Auction Manager has received Qualifying Bids).  If the Applicable Threshold Price is not equal to the lowest Reply Price received pursuant to the Reply Bids, the Auction Offeror shall be entitled, at its election, to either (i) complete the Auction at the Applicable Threshold Price or (ii) withdraw the Auction. In the case of clause (i) above, the Auction Offeror shall purchase (by assignment) Term Loans from each Term Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration. If a Term Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple component bids at different Reply Prices, then all Term Loans of such Term Lender offered in any such component bid that constitutes a Qualifying Bid with a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price shall also be purchased at a purchase price equal to the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration.







(d)          Proration Procedures. In the case of clause (c)(i) above, all Term Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids equal to the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at a purchase price equal to the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Dutch Auction equal to the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans purchased below the Applicable Threshold Price), the Borrower shall purchase the Term Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount up to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.








19















(e)          Notification Procedures. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price no later than the third Business Day after the date that the Return Bids were due. The Auction Manager will insert the amount of Term Loans to be assigned and the applicable settlement date determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Auction Offeror onto each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon written request of the submitting Term Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.








		(f)	Additional Procedures.










(i)          Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Auction Offeror may withdraw a Dutch Auction by written notice to the Auction Manager (x) in the circumstances described in clause (c)(i) above or (y) no later than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time so long as no Qualifying Bids have been received by the Auction Manager at or prior to the time the Auction Manager receives such written notice from the Auction Offeror. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled; provided that a Term Lender may modify a Return Bid at any time prior to the Expiration Time solely to reduce the Reply Price included in such Return Bid. However, a Dutch Auction shall become void if the Auction Offeror fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans set forth in, or to otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 10.6 of this Agreement.  The purchase price for all Term Loans purchased in a Dutch Auction shall be paid in cash by the Auction Offeror directly to the respective assigning Term Lender on a settlement date as determined by the Auction Manager in consultation with the Auction Offeror (which shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due), along with accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the applicable Term Loans up to the settlement date. The Auction Offeror shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Acceptance received in connection with a Qualifying Bid.







(ii)          All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans that are the subject of a Dutch Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Auction Offeror, and the Auction Manager’s determination will be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer Document, in consultation with the Auction Offeror, will be final and binding.







(iii)          None of the Auction Manager, any other Agent or any of their respective Affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning Holdings, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates contained in the Offer Documents or otherwise or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information.








20















(iv)          The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such under a Dutch Auction shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 9 and Section 10.5 of this Agreement to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Loan Documents” were a reference to the Offer Documents, the Auction Notice and Auction Assignment and Acceptance and each reference therein to the “Transactions” were a reference to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d)          The term “license” shall include sub-license.  The term “documents” includes any and all documents whether in physical or electronic form.







(e)          The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.







(f)          Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.







(g)          In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, at the option of the Borrower pursuant to an LCA Election such condition shall be deemed satisfied so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into after giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the actions to be taken in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if such Limited Condition Acquisition and other actions had occurred on such date.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (g), and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing solely for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.  If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, 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 all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated; provided that the calculation of Consolidated Net Income (and any defined term a component of which is Consolidated Net Income) shall not include the Consolidated Net Income of the Person or assets to be acquired in any Limited Condition Acquisition for usages other than in connection with the applicable transaction pertaining to such Limited Condition Acquisition until such time as such Limited Condition Acquisition is actually consummated (clauses (g) and (h), collectively, the “Limited Condition Acquisition Provision”).







(i)          Any references in this Agreement to “Obligations” or “Lenders” (or any similar terms) in the phrase “pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Obligations” or “pari passu with the Liens of the Lenders” (or any similar phrases) or in the phrase “secured on a junior basis with the Liens securing the Obligations” or “junior to the Liens of the Lenders” (or any similar phrases) shall, in each case, be deemed to refer to the Obligations in effect on the Closing Date (i.e. the Initial Term B Loans) or the Initial Term B Lenders, as applicable, and any other Indebtedness or commitments incurred under this Agreement that is intended to be secured on a pari passu basis with the liens securing the Initial Term B Loans or the lenders thereunder, as applicable.

If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, brand acquisitions or Disposition that would have required adjustment pursuant to this provision, then such calculation shall be made giving pro forma effect thereto for such Test Period as if such Investment, brand acquisitions or Disposition had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period.







1.4          Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.  The Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of the face amount of Revolving Loans and/or Letters of Credit denominated in Permitted Foreign Currencies and of L/C Disbursements in respect of such Letters of Credit.  Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrower on each Revaluation Date of the Spot Rates determined by it and the related Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding.  Solely for purposes of Sections 2 and 3 and related definitional provisions to the extent used in such Sections, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent and notified to the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender in accordance with this Section 1.4.  If any basket is exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in applicable currency exchange rates after the last time such basket was utilized, such basket will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations in currency exchange rates.  For purposes of determining the Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars for the purposes of calculating any Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, at the Spot Rate as of the date of calculation, and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedge Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Equivalent of such Indebtedness.

1.6          Covenants.  For purposes of determining compliance with Section 7 (other than Section 7.6), in the event that an item or event (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories described in a particular covenant contained in Section 7 (other than Section 7.6), the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, classify and reclassify or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time) such item or event (or any portion thereof) and may include the amount and type of such item or event (or any portion thereof) in one or more of the relevant clauses or subclauses, in each case, within such covenant and will be entitled to include such item or event (or any portion thereof) only in one of the relevant clauses or subclauses (or any portion thereof).  In the case of an item or event (or any portion thereof) that is incurred pursuant to or otherwise included in a clause or subclause (or any portion thereof) of a covenant that does not rely on criteria based on the Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (any such item or event, a “Fixed Basket Item or Event” and any such clause, subclause or any portion thereof, a “Fixed Basket”) substantially concurrently with an item or event (or any portion thereof) that is incurred pursuant to or otherwise included in a clause or subclause (or any portion thereof) of a covenant that relies on criteria based on such financial ratios or tests (any such item or event, a “Ratio Basket Item or Event” and any such clause, subclause or any portion thereof, a “Ratio Basket”), such Ratio Basket Item or Event shall be treated as having been incurred or existing pursuant only to such Ratio Basket without giving pro forma effect to any such Fixed Basket Item or Event (other than a Fixed Basket Item or Event that relies on the term “Permitted Refinancing” or “Permitted Refinancing Obligations”) incurred pursuant to or otherwise included in a Fixed Basket substantially concurrently with such Ratio Basket Item or Event when calculating the amount that may be incurred or existing pursuant to any such Ratio Basket. Furthermore, (A) for purposes of Section 7.2, the amount of any Indebtedness denominated in any currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the applicable Spot Rate, in the case of such Indebtedness incurred (in respect of funded term Indebtedness) or committed (in respect of revolving or delayed draw Indebtedness), on the date that such Indebtedness was incurred (in respect of funded term Indebtedness) or committed (in respect of revolving or delayed draw Indebtedness); provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars (or in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced), and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the applicable Spot Rate on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the outstanding or committed principal amount, as applicable, of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of accrued interest, fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing, (B) for purposes of Sections 7.3, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7, the amount of any Liens, Dispositions, Restricted Payments and Investments, as applicable, denominated in any currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the applicable Spot Rate, (C) for purposes of any calculation under Sections 7.2 and 7.3, if the Borrower elects to give pro forma effect in such calculation to the entire committed amount of any proposed Indebtedness, whether or not then drawn, such committed amount may thereafter be borrowed and reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with Section 7.2 or 7.3, but for so long as such Indebtedness is outstanding or in effect, the entire committed amount of such Indebtedness then in effect shall be included in any calculations under Sections 7.2 and 7.3, (D) any cash proceeds of Indebtedness shall be excluded as Unrestricted Cash and not netted for purposes of calculating any financial ratios and tests with respect to any substantially concurrent incurrence of a Ratio Basket Item or Event pursuant to a Ratio Basket and (E) any Fixed Basket Item or Event incurred pursuant to or otherwise included pursuant to a Fixed Basket based on Consolidated Total Assets shall be calculated based upon the Consolidated Total Assets at the time of such incurrence (it being understood that a Default shall be deemed not to have occurred solely to the extent that the Consolidated Total Assets after the time of such incurrence declines).

	SECTION II.	AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS










2.1          Term Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Initial Term B Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (an “Initial Term B Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount which will not exceed the amount of the Initial Term B Commitment of such Lender.  The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term B Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be the stated principal amount thereof outstanding from time to time.  The Initial Term B Loans may from time to time be Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.13.







2.2          Procedure for Initial Term B Loan Borrowing.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) requesting that the Initial Term B Lenders make the Initial Term B Loans on the Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed and the requested Interest Period, if applicable.  Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Initial Term B Lender thereof.  Not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, each Initial Term B Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Initial Term B Loan to be made by such Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall credit the account designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Initial Term B Lenders in immediately available funds.







2.3          Repayment of Initial Term B Loans.  The Initial Term B Loan of each Initial Term B Lender shall be payable in equal consecutive quarterly installments on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on December 31, 2016, in an amount equal to $4,500,000 (being one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the stated principal amount of the Initial Term B Loans funded on the Closing Date) (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.18(b), or be increased as a result of any increase in the amount of Initial Term B Loans pursuant to Supplemental Term Loan Commitments (such increased amortization payments to be calculated in the same manner (and on the same basis) as set forth above for the Initial Term B Loans made as of the Closing Date) or reduced proportionately, to the extent applicable, if an Extension Request with respect to the Initial Term B Loans is consummated as provided in the applicable Extension Amendment), with the remaining balance thereof payable on the Term Maturity Date.

		2.4	Revolving Commitments.










(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans in Dollars or in any Permitted Foreign Currency (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding and such Revolving Lender’s Swingline Exposure then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.  The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurocurrency Loans or, solely in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.13.







(b)          The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans on the Revolving Termination Date with respect to the applicable Tranche of Revolving Loans or commitments.







2.5          Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing.  The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date or (iii) in the case of ABR Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (w) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed (which, in the case of any Revolving Loans denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, shall be Eurocurrency Loans), (x) the requested Borrowing Date, (y) the currency in which such Revolving Loans are to be borrowed and (z) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor; provided, further, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them.  Not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders.  Each borrowing by the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate applicable Available Revolving Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrowing Minimum or a whole multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof.  Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof.  Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 11:00 a.m. (or, in the case of ABR Loans being made pursuant to a notice delivered on the proposed Borrowing Date, 3:00 p.m.), New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.  If no election as to the Type of a Revolving Loan is specified, other than with respect to Revolving Loans denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, then the requested Loan shall be an ABR Loan.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  If no currency is specified with respect to any requested Revolving Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected Dollars.

		2.6	Swingline Loans.










(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.6, shall make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time in Dollars or a Permitted Foreign Currency during the Revolving Commitment Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Commitment or (ii) the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit exceeding the Revolving Commitment then in effect; provided, that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan (i) to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan or (ii) if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by making such Swingline Loan may have, Fronting Exposure.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.  Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and denominated in Dollars.







(b)          To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (promptly confirmed by telecopy), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify  (y) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan, and (z) proper wire instructions for the same.  Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Swingline Loan notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swingline Loan notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swingline Loan (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2.6(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swingline Lender in immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.  Swingline Loans shall be made in an amount equal to $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.







(c)          The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay, without premium or penalty, any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 3:00 p.m., New York City time on the date of repayment at the Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified in the Swingline Lender’s administrative questionnaire.  All principal payments of Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment.








67















(d)          The Swingline Lender may and, at any time there shall be Swingline Loan outstanding for more than seven days, the Swingline Lender shall by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (provided, that such payment shall not cause such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Extensions of Credit to exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment).  Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 3.4 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 3.4 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.







(e)          If the Revolving Termination Date applicable to a Tranche shall have occurred at a time when other Tranches will remain outstanding, then on such Revolving Termination Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans with respect to such maturing Tranche shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Revolving Termination Date); provided, that, if on the occurrence of such Revolving Termination Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation as contemplated in Section 3.4(d)), (i) there shall exist sufficient unutilized Revolving Commitments that will remain outstanding after the date thereof and (ii) the conditions set forth in Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b) shall be satisfied at such time so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to such Revolving Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such Revolving Termination Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and the same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to such Revolving Commitments and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such Revolving Termination Date.








68















(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage in all outstanding Swingline Loans will automatically be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (calculated without regard to the Revolving Commitment of the Defaulting Lender), but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender.  If such reallocation cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent or such longer period as the Administrative Agent shall agree, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount of cash equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage (calculated as in effect immediately prior to it becoming a Defaulting Lender) of the outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.6(f)) to be applied to the repayment of such Swingline Loans.  So long as there is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to lend any Swingline Loans if the sum of, without duplication, the Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages of the outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations and their participations in Swingline Loans after giving effect to any such requested Swingline Loans would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders (such excess, “Fronting Exposure”).







(g)          The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as Swingline Lenders one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided herein and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as a Swingline Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such designated Swingline Lender, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Swingline Lender, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as a lender of Swingline Loans hereunder.








		2.7	Defaulting Lenders.










(a)          Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 3.4(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.








69















(b)          Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest or other amounts (other than the payment of (i) commitment fees under Section 2.9, (ii) default interest under Section 2.15(c) and (iii) Letter of Credit fees under Section 3.3, which in each case shall be applied pursuant to the provisions of those Sections) received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.7; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender (without duplication of the application of any cash collateral provided by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4(d)) to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to be held as security for any L/C Shortfall (without duplication of any cash collateral provided by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4(d)) in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender as a result of any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 3.4(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to be held as security in a cash collateral account pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender and shall satisfy the Borrower’s payment obligation in respect thereof in full, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.








		2.8	Repayment of Loans.










(a)          The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Revolving Lender, Term Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender made to the Borrower outstanding on the applicable Revolving Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1), (ii) the principal amount of each outstanding Term Loan of such Term Lender made to the Borrower in installments according to the applicable amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.3 or, in the case of any New Term Loans, the applicable Joinder Agreement (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1) and (iii) subject to Section 2.6(e), the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (A) the applicable Revolving Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1) and (B) the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least three Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided, that on each date that a Revolving Loan is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such borrowing was requested.  The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans and Swingline Loans made to the Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date made until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.








70















(b)          Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.







(c)          The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(iv), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal, interest and fees, as applicable, due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.







(d)          The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be presumptively correct absent demonstrable error of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.







(e)          Without diminishing the control of the Administrative Agent over amounts from time to time paid to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of Cash Collateralization, the Administrative Agent shall from time to time (upon the request of the Company so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) cause the prompt return to the Company of any such amounts which are in excess of the amount required to be deposited to effect such Cash Collateralization.







2.9          Commitment Fees, etc.  (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, in Dollars, for the period from and including the date on which the Revolving Commitments are established to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period (or, if earlier, the termination of all Revolving Commitments), computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment (provided, that, for purposes of this calculation, the Swingline Exposure shall not constitute a Revolving Extension of Credit) of such Revolving Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date; provided, that (A) any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time and (B) no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.







(b)          The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent.








		2.10	Termination or Reduction of Commitments.










(a)          The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than two Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments of any Tranche or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments of any Tranche; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments of any Tranche shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the total Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Tranche would exceed the total Revolving Commitments of such Tranche then in effect (it being understood that any portion of the L/C Exposure that is Cash Collateralized shall be deemed not to be included in any Revolving Extensions of Credit for purposes of determining the amount of any such excess).  Any such partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments of the applicable Tranche then in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of termination or reduction under this Section 2.10 if the notice of such termination or reduction stated that such notice was conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of a transaction or the receipt of a replacement of all, or a portion, of the Revolving Commitments outstanding at such time, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied.








71















(b)          Upon the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Permitted Refinancing Obligations in respect of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, the Revolving Commitments designated by the Borrower to be terminated in connection therewith shall be automatically permanently reduced by an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of commitments under such Permitted Refinancing Obligations and any outstanding Revolving Loans in respect of such terminated Revolving Commitments shall be repaid in full.








		2.11	Optional Prepayments.










(a)          The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay any Tranche of Revolving Loans, the Swingline Loans or any Tranche of Term Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty except as specifically provided in Section 2.11(b), upon irrevocable written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, (i) three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans that are Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or Term Loans, (ii) one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans that are Term Loans and (iii) on the date of prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans that are Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, which notice shall specify (x) the date and amount of prepayment, (y) whether the prepayment is of a Tranche of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans or a Tranche of Term Loans and (z) whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (provided, that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any transaction or the receipt of proceeds to be used for such payment, in each case specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied), together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial prepayments of Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of (i) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (in the case of prepayments of ABR Loans) or (ii) the Borrowing Minimum or a whole multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof (in the case of prepayments of Eurocurrency Loans), and in each case shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18.







(b)          Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.11 or Section 2.12(a) of the Initial Term B Loan as a result of a Repricing Transaction shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee, which shall initially be 1% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid and shall decline to 0% on and after the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date.








72















(c)          In connection with any optional prepayments by the Borrower of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11, such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans.








		2.12	Mandatory Prepayments.










(a)          Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if any Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred in accordance with Section 7.2) shall be incurred by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied not later than one Business Day after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d).







(b)          Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall for its own account receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event (except to the extent such Asset Sale or Recovery Event, as applicable, relates to any ABL Facility First Priority Collateral so long as such ABL Facility First Priority Collateral secures the ABL Facility), then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied not later than 10 Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if a Reinvestment Notice has been delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Term Loans shall be prepaid as set forth in Section 2.12(d) by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event on the applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date and (ii) on the date (the “Trigger Date”) that is six months after any such Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Term Loans shall be prepaid as set forth in Section 2.12(d) by an amount equal to the portion of any Committed Reinvestment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event not actually expended by such Trigger Date.







(c)          Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if, for any Excess Cash Flow Period, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply an amount equal to (A) the Excess Cash Flow Application Amount, minus (B) the aggregate amount of all prepayments of Revolving Loans and ABL Loans during such Excess Cash Flow Period to the extent accompanied by permanent optional reductions of the applicable commitments, and all optional prepayments of Term Loans during such Excess Cash Flow Period (excluding any such optional prepayments during such Excess Cash Flow Period which the Borrower elected to apply to the calculation pursuant to this paragraph (c) in a prior Excess Cash Flow Period) and, at the option of the Borrower, optional prepayments of Term Loans after such Excess Cash Flow Period but prior to the time of the Excess Cash Flow Application Date, in each case other than to the extent any such prepayment is funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness, toward the prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d), in each case of this clause (B), to the extent not deducted in accordance with clause (b)(iii) of the definition of “Excess Cash Flow”.  Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than ten days after the date on which the financial statements referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders.







(d)          Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.18(b) until paid in full.  In connection with any mandatory prepayments by the Borrower of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12, such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans and (to the extent the Borrower elects, or is required by the terms thereof) may be applied, along with such prepayments of Term Loans, to purchase, redeem or repay any other Indebtedness secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Obligations pursuant to one or more Other Intercreditor Agreements, pursuant to the agreements governing such other Indebtedness, on not more than a pro rata basis with respect to such prepayments of Term Loans; provided, that with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans that are Eurocurrency Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21.  Each prepayment of the Term Loans under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.








73















(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.12 or 2.18, with respect to the amount of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12(b) or (c) (such amount, the “Term Prepayment Amount”), the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, in lieu of applying such amount to the prepayment of Term Loans as provided in paragraph (d) above, on the date specified in this Section 2.12 for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent prepare and provide to each Term Lender (which, for avoidance of doubt, includes each New Term Lender and Extended Lender holding Term Loans) a notice (each, a “Prepayment Option Notice”) as described below.  As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each Term Lender a Prepayment Option Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit I (or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), and shall include an offer by the Borrower to prepay, on the date (each a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) that is ten Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice, the Term Loans of such Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Term Prepayment Amount indicated in such Lender’s Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such Lender’s Term Loans.  Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Term Prepayment Amount by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) five Business Days after such Term Lender’s receipt of the Prepayment Option Notice (which notice shall specify the principal amount of the Term Prepayment Amount to be rejected by such Lender) (such rejected amounts collectively, the “Declined Amount”); provided, that any Term Lender’s failure to so reject such Term Prepayment Amount shall be deemed an acceptance by such Term Lender of such Prepayment Option Notice and the amount to be prepaid in respect of Term Loans held by such Term Lender.  On the Mandatory Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Term Lenders the aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding Term Loans in respect of which such Lenders have (or are deemed to have) accepted prepayment as described above.  Any such Declined Amounts may be used by the Borrower for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.







(f)          If, on any date, the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments (other than as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of any Revolving Loans or the L/C Obligations on any Revaluation Date in accordance with Section 1.4, in which case, if the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed 105% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments), the Borrower shall promptly repay or prepay Revolving Loans and, after the Revolving Loans shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace, cause to be canceled or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess (it being understood that any portion of the L/C Exposure that is Cash Collateralized shall be deemed not to be included in any Revolving Extensions of Credit for purposes of determining the amount of any such excess).  If the Borrower shall provide collateral under this paragraph (f) as a result of the Revolving Commitments being exceeded, such amount shall (so long as no other requirement for Cash Collateralization shall then exist) be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after the Revolving Commitments are no longer so exceeded.








74















(g)          Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.12, (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Asset Sale”) or the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event with respect to  a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Recovery Event”), in each case giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.12(b), or Excess Cash Flow derived from a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.12(c), are or is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.12 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit or restricts repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof including, without duplication, any repatriation costs associated with repatriation of such proceeds from the applicable recipient to the Borrower) to the repayment of the Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.12 and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Asset Sale or any Foreign Recovery Event or any Excess Cash Flow derived from a Foreign Subsidiary could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit, in the Borrower’s reasonable judgment, expected to be realized in connection with such repatriation) 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 so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.12 (or fifteen months after the date such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required to be applied if it were Net Cash Proceeds), (x) the Borrower shall apply 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 Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional 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, in each case, other than as mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.








		2.13	Conversion and Continuation Options.










(a)          The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans (other than Eurocurrency Loans denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency) made to the Borrower to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable written notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided, that if any such Eurocurrency Loan is so converted on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21.  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans made to the Borrower to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable written notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided, that no such ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  This Section 2.13 shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.








75















(b)          Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such by the Borrower giving irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed continuation date, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided, that if any such Eurocurrency Loan is so continued on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21; provided, further, that no such Eurocurrency Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; provided, further, that (i) if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically continued as Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period of one month’s duration on the last day of such then-expiring Interest Period and (ii) if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period; provided, further, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them.  Not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.







2.14          Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurocurrency Tranches.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurocurrency Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to the Borrowing Minimum or a whole multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and (b) no more than twelve Eurocurrency Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.








		2.15	Interest Rates and Payment Dates.










(a)          (i) Each Eurocurrency Loan, other than a Eurocurrency Loan that is an Initial Term B Loan, shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) each Eurocurrency Loan that is an Initial Term B Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to (A) the greater of (x) the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day and (y) 0.75% plus (B) the Applicable Margin.








76















(b)          Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.







(c)          (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation 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 equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 plus 2.00% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2.00%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or 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 equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2.00% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Initial Term B Facility plus 2.00%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment); provided, that no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) on any overdue Loan, Reimbursement Obligation, commitment fee or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.







(d)          Interest shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.15 shall be payable from time to time on demand.








		2.16	Computation of Interest and Fees.










(a)          Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that interest on ABR Loans (except for ABR computations in respect of clauses (b) and (c) of the definition thereof) shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.







(b)          Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a) and Section 2.15(b).







2.17          Inability to Determine Interest Rate.  If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan:







(a)          the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be presumptively correct absent demonstrable error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period; or








77















(b)          the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,







the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given (x) any Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto, to ABR Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which action the Administrative Agent will take promptly after the conditions giving rise to such notice no longer exist), no further Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurocurrency Loans.








		2.18	Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.










(a)          Except as expressly otherwise provided herein (including as expressly provided in Sections 2.7, 2.9, 2.10(b), 2.12, 2.15(c), 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 2.22, 2.24, 2.26, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7), each borrowing by the Borrower from the Revolving Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the Revolving Percentages of the relevant Revolving Lenders other than reductions of Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.24 and payments in respect of any differences in the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate between Tranches.  Except as expressly otherwise provided herein (including as expressly provided in Sections 2.7, 2.12, 2.15(c), 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 2.22, 2.24, 2.26, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7), each payment (other than prepayments) in respect of principal or interest in respect of any Tranche of Term Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder with respect to the Term Loans of such Tranche shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Term Lenders of such Tranche, pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to such Term Lenders.







(b)          Each mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall be allocated among the Tranches of Term Loans then outstanding pro rata, in each case except as affected by the opt-out provision under Section 2.12(e); provided, that at the request of the Borrower, in lieu of such application to the Term Loans on a pro rata basis among all Tranches of Term Loans, such prepayment may be applied to any Tranche of Term Loans so long as the maturity date of such Tranche of Term Loans precedes the maturity date of each other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding or, in the event more than one Tranche of Term Loans shall have an identical maturity date that precedes the maturity date of each other Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding, to such Tranches on a pro rata basis; provided, further, that in connection with a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.12(a) in connection with the incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Obligations, such prepayment shall be allocated to the Tranches as specified by the Borrower (but to the Loans within such Tranches on a pro rata basis).  Each optional prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof as specified by the Borrower (and absent such specification, in direct order of maturity).  Each mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof in direct order of maturity.  Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.







(c)          Except as expressly otherwise provided herein (including as expressly provided in Sections 2.7, 2.10(b), 2.12, 2.15(c), 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 2.22, 2.24, 2.26, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7), each payment (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the  Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders other than payments in respect of any differences in the Applicable Margin applicable to different Tranches.  Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit.  Each payment of principal in respect of Swingline Loans shall be made in accordance with Section 2.6.








78















(d)          All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Funding Office, in immediately available funds.  Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m., New York City time may be considered received on the next Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.







(e)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error.  If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of such fact to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower against any Defaulting Lender.







(f)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each relevant Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

		2.19	Requirements of Law.










(a)          Except with respect to Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Closing Date:







(i)           shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate hereunder;







(ii)          shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations or its deposits, reserves, other liability or capital attributable thereto; or







(iii)         shall impose on such Lender any other condition not otherwise contemplated hereunder;







and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient, by an amount which such Lender or other Recipient reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (in each case hereunder), or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, in Dollars, within thirty Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor (showing with reasonable detail the calculations thereof), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.







(b)          If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such entity’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such entity could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a reasonably detailed written request therefor (consistent with the detail provided by such Lender to similarly situated borrowers), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such entity for such reduction.








80















(c)          A certificate prepared in good faith as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19 for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to any Lender with respect to penalties, interest and expenses if written demand therefor was not made by such Lender within 180 days from the date on which such Lender makes payment for such penalties, interest and expenses.







(d)          Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.19 to the contrary, solely for purposes of this Section 2.19, (i) the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date.







(e)          For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender.








		2.20	Taxes.










(a)          Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as required by law, all payments made by or on account of the Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Recipient under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes. If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any such payments, the amounts so payable to the applicable Recipient shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after deduction or withholding of such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20(a)) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.







(b)          In addition, the Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.







(c)          Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrower and any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower or Loan Party showing payment thereof if such receipt is obtainable, or, if not, such other evidence of payment as may reasonably be required by the Administrative Agent or such Lender.  If the Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that the Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is required to pay pursuant to this Section 2.20 (or in respect of which the Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents would be required to pay increased amounts pursuant to Section 2.20(a) if such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were withheld) when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall indemnify the applicable Recipient for any payments by them of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20(a), and for any Incremental Taxes that become payable by such Recipient as a result of any such failure within thirty days after the Lender or the Administrative Agent delivers to the Borrower or Loan Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) either (a) a copy of the receipt issued by a Governmental Authority evidencing payment of such Taxes or (b) certificates as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith.

		(d)	[reserved]










(e)          Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (A) (i) two accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (ii) in the case of a Non-US Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F and two accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent versions or successors to such forms, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-US Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (iii) IRS Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor form) and all necessary attachments (including the forms described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, provided that if the Non-US Lender is a partnership, and one or more of the partners is claiming portfolio interest treatment, the certificate in the form of Exhibit F may be provided by such Non-US Lender on behalf of such partners) and (B) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-US Lender before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related Participation).  In addition, each Non-US Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-US Lender, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  Each Non-US Lender shall (i) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose) and (ii) take such steps as shall not be disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable judgment, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its lending office pursuant to Section 2.23) to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any such jurisdiction that the Borrower or any Loan Party make any deduction or withholding for Taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-US Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver provided that it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such inability.








		(f)	[reserved]










(g)          Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “US Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form and certify that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding.  Such forms shall be delivered by each US Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement.  In addition, each US Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such US Lender, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  Each US Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certifications to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose).








82















(h)          If any Recipient determines, in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such indemnifying party, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the indemnifying party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority other than any such penalties, interest or other charges resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Recipient (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority; provided, further, that such Recipient shall, at the indemnifying party’s request, provide a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to pay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that the Recipient may delete any information therein that it deems confidential).  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.  In no event will any Recipient be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party the payment of which would place such Recipient in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid.  The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.








		(i)	[reserved]










(j)          If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to 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 Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(j), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.








83















(k)          To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.20, each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c)(iii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h).







(l)           The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document, the resignation of the Administrative Agent and any assignment of rights by, or replacement of, any Lender.







(m)          For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, and, for the avoidance of doubt, applicable law includes FATCA.







2.21         Indemnity.  Other than with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.20, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense (other than lost profits, including the loss of Applicable Margin) that such Lender actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) any failure by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) any failure by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  A reasonably detailed certificate as to (showing in reasonable detail the calculation of) any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.21 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.







2.22         Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case, first made after the Closing Date, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, continue Eurocurrency Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended during the period of such illegality and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.  If any such conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21.







2.23         Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to avoid or minimize any amounts payable pursuant to such Sections (including by designating another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event); provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.23 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22.


 



84










2.24         Replacement of Lenders.  The Borrower shall be permitted to (a) replace with a financial entity or financial entities, or (b) prepay or terminate, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.21), the Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of any Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender (each such Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, a “Replaced Lender”) that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing or otherwise results in increased costs imposed on the Borrower or on account of which the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Governmental Authority, in each case, pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 (to the extent a request made by a Lender pursuant to the operation of Section 2.21 is materially greater than requests made by other Lenders) or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.22, (ii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iii) is, or the Borrower reasonably believes could constitute, a Disqualified Institution, or (iv) has refused to consent to any waiver or amendment with respect to any Loan Document that requires such Lender’s consent and has been consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, that, in the case of a replacement pursuant to clause (a) above:







(A)          such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law;







(B)          the replacement financial entity or financial entities shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such Replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement (or, in the case of a replacement of an Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, comply with the provisions of Section 9.9(c) (to the extent applicable as if such Lender was resigning as Administrative Agent));







(C)          the Borrower shall be liable to such Replaced Lender under Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such Replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto;







(D)          the replacement financial entity or financial entities, (x) if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent that an assignment to such replacement financial institution of the rights and obligations being acquired by it would otherwise require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(b)(i)(2) and (y) shall pay (unless otherwise paid by the Borrower) any processing and recordation fee required under Section 10.6(b)(ii)(2);







(E)          the Administrative Agent and any replacement financial entity or entities shall execute and deliver, and such Replaced Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Assumption to effect such substitution (or, in the case of a replacement of an Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, customary assignment documentation);







(F)          the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated;







(G)          in respect of a replacement pursuant to clause (iv) above, the replacement financial entity or financial entities shall consent to such amendment or waiver;







(H)          any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the Replaced Lender; and








85















(I)          if such replacement is in connection with a Repricing Transaction prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower or the replacement Lender shall pay the Replaced Lender a fee equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its Initial Term B Loans required to be assigned pursuant to this Section 2.24.







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








		2.25	Incremental Loans.










(a)          The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more new term loans (each, a “New Term Loan Commitment”) or increases of existing Tranches of Term Loans (each, a “Supplemental Term Loan Commitment”) or the establishment of, or if any Revolving Commitments are outstanding, increases of existing, Revolving Commitments (which request shall also specify any corresponding increase in the Swingline Commitment and/or L/C Commitment) (each, a “Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase”; together with any New Term Loan Commitments and any Supplemental Term Loan Commitments, the “New Loan Commitments”) hereunder, in an aggregate amount for all such New Loan Commitments (when taken together with any New Incremental Debt issued prior to, or that will be issued concurrently with, the effectiveness of the respective New Loan Commitments) not in excess of, at the time the respective New Loan Commitments become effective, the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount.  Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, (ii) in the case of a Supplemental Term Loan Commitment, the Tranche (or Tranches) of existing Term Loans to be so increased (and, if more than one Tranche of Term Loans will be increased, the amount of the aggregate Supplemental Term Loan Commitments to be allocated to each such Tranche), and (iii) in the case of Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase, the Tranche (or Tranches) of existing Revolving Commitments, if any, to be increased (and, if more than one Tranche of Revolving Commitments will be increased, the amount of the aggregate Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase to be allocated to each such Tranche); provided, that (x) any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such New Loan Commitments, (y) any Person that the Borrower proposes to become a New Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee and must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any proposed Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase, to each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in each case, to the extent its consent would be required to assign Loans to any such Eligible Assignee and (z) any Person that the Borrower proposes to be a New Lender that is an Other Affiliate shall be subject to the provisions related thereto in Section 10.5 and 10.6.








86















(b)          Such New Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided, that:







(i)           no Event of Default  shall exist on such Increased Amount Date immediately after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments and the making of any New Loans pursuant thereto and any transaction consummated in connection therewith subject to the Permitted Acquisition Provisions (as defined below) and the Limited Condition Acquisition Provision, in connection with any acquisition or investment being made with the proceeds thereof;







(ii)          the proceeds of any New Loans shall be used, at the discretion of the Borrower, for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement;







(iii)          if guaranteed, the New Loans shall benefit ratably from the guarantees under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and be only guaranteed by the Guarantors;







(iv)          to the extent any New Loan will be secured, such New Loan shall be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Obligations or, at the Borrower’s option, secured by the Collateral on a “junior” basis with the Liens securing the Obligations;







(v)          to the extent any New Loan will be unsecured or secured by the Collateral on a “junior” basis with the Liens securing the Obligations, such New Loan shall be documented as a separate Facility and, if secured by the Collateral on a “junior” basis be subject to an Other Intercreditor Agreement;







(vi)          in the case of New Loans that are term loans (“New Term Loans”), the maturity date thereof shall not be earlier than the Latest Maturity Date in effect at the time such commitment becomes effective and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity thereof shall be equal to or greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Latest Maturing Term Loans at such time (other than an earlier maturity date and/or shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity for customary bridge financings, which, subject to customary conditions, would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing which does not provide for an earlier maturity date than the Latest Maturity Date or a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Latest Maturing Term Loans);







(vii)         in the case of any Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase, (A) the scheduled termination date of such Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase shall not be earlier than the stated termination date of the ABL Facility, (B) no Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase shall require any scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the stated termination date of the ABL Facility and (C) such Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be on the same terms (other than as regards pricing and yield) and pursuant to the same documentation as the Initial Term B Loans (except for (x) any differences permitted hereby, (y) any differences due to the different nature of the facility (including, without limitation, the requirement of a financial maintenance covenant in favor of the revolving lenders only) or (z) any differences reasonably deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent); provided, that any differences in the terms and documentation in respect of a Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase as a result of clause (y) or (z) above shall in no event be more restrictive, when taken as a whole, to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those set forth in this Agreement (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the then Term Maturity Date or to the extent that the Initial Term B Lenders also receive the benefit of such more restrictive provisions), as determined in good faith by the Borrower;








87















(viii)        all terms and documentation with respect to any New Term Loans which differ from those with respect to the Initial Term B Loans (except to the extent permitted hereunder) shall in no event be more restrictive, when taken as a whole, to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the equivalent terms set forth in this Agreement in respect of the Initial Term B Loans (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the then Term Maturity Date or to the extent that the Initial Term B Lenders also receive the benefit of such more restrictive provisions), as determined in good faith by the Borrower;







(ix)          such New Loans or New Loan Commitments (other than Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increases related to existing Tranche(s) of Revolving Commitments at such time, which shall be effected in accordance with Section 2.25(e)) shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and one or more New Lenders;







(x)           to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered (A) customary legal opinions with respect to the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Borrower and each other Loan Party to be party thereto and the enforceability of the applicable Joinder Agreement, Increase Supplement or Lender Joinder Agreement, as applicable, the non-conflict of the execution, delivery of and performance of payment obligations under such documentation with this Agreement and with the organizational documents of the Loan Parties and, in the case of any New Loans that will be secured, the effectiveness of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement to create a valid security interest, and the effectiveness of specified other Security Documents to perfect such security interests, in specified Collateral to secure the Obligations, including the New Loan Commitments and the extensions of credit thereunder and (B) certified copies of the resolutions or other applicable corporate action of each applicable Loan Party approving its entry into such documents and the transactions contemplated thereby;







(xi)          if the initial “spread” (for purposes of this Section 2.25, the “spread” with respect to any Term Loan shall be calculated as the sum of the Eurodollar Loan margin on the relevant Term Loan plus any original issue discount or upfront fees in lieu of original issue discount (other than any arranging fees, underwriting fees and commitment fees) (based on an assumed four-year average life for the applicable Facilities (e.g., 100 basis points in original issue discount or upfront fees equals 25 basis points of interest rate margin)) plus any applicable interest rate floor) relating to any New Term Loan that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term B Loans exceeds the spread then in effect with respect to the Initial Term B Loans by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin relating to the Initial Term B Loans shall be adjusted so that the spread relating to such New Term Loans does not exceed the spread applicable to the Initial Term B Loans by more than 0.50%; provided, that if such New Term Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Initial Term B Loans, for purposes of addressing any such excess spread in respect of such New Term Loans as set out above, to the extent an increase in such interest rate floor applicable to the Initial Term B Loans would cause an increase in the interest payable in respect of the Initial Term B Loans pursuant to Section 2.15, such interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Margin relating to the Initial Term B Loans) shall be increased to the required extent; provided, further, that this clause (xi) shall not be applicable to any New Term Loan which is incurred more than 12 months after the Closing Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the rate of interest and the amortization schedule (if applicable) of any New Term Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable New Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement; and








88















(xii)          in the case of New Term Loans secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Obligations, such New Term Loans shall share ratably in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term B Loans, unless the Borrower and the applicable New Lenders agree to a less than pro rata share of such prepayments.







For the avoidance of doubt, the rate of interest, redemption price (if applicable) and other pricing terms and the amortization schedule (if applicable) of any New Term Loan Commitments shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable New Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement.







Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in connection with the incurrence of any New Term Loans or Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase, if the proceeds of such New Term Loans or Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase are, substantially concurrently with the receipt thereof, to be used, in whole or in part, by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Acquisition, then to the extent so required by the applicable New Lenders, (A) the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Increase Amount Date (or funding date) shall be (x) the Specified Representations (conformed as necessary for such Permitted Acquisition) and (y) such of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the applicable acquired company or business in the applicable acquisition agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that Holdings or the Borrower (or any Affiliate of Holdings or the Borrower) has the right to terminate the obligations of Holdings, the Borrower or such Affiliate under such acquisition agreement or not consummate such acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement and (B) there need not be a condition to borrowing that there be no Default or Event of Default other than there shall be no Event of Default under Sections 8.1(a) or (f) after giving effect to such incurrence (“Permitted Acquisition Provisions”).







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







(d)          For purposes of this Agreement, any New Loans or New Loan Commitments shall be deemed to be Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable.  Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.25.  Upon any Increase Amount Date on which Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase is effected through an increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.25, (i) if the increase relates to any then-existing Revolving Facility, each of the Revolving Lenders with respect to such Revolving Facility shall assign to each New Lender providing such Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase, and each New Lenders shall purchase from each Revolving Lenders of such Revolving Facility, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the applicable Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increase Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase to the Revolving Commitments, (ii) each such Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (iii) each such New Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase and all matters relating thereto.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing and prepayment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.








89















(e)          Supplemental Term Loan Commitments and Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increases related to existing Tranche(s) of Revolving Commitments at such time shall become commitments under this Agreement pursuant to a supplement specifying the Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Tranche to be increased, executed by the Borrower and each increasing Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L-1 (the “Increase Supplement”) or by each New Lender (if not already a Lender) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L-2 (the “Lender Joinder Agreement”), as the case may be, or, in each case, such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower which shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording in the Register.  Upon effectiveness of the Lender Joinder Agreement or Increase Supplement, as applicable, each New Lender shall be a Lender for all intents and purposes of this Agreement and the term loan made pursuant to such Supplemental Term Loan Commitment shall be a Term Loan or the commitments made pursuant to such Supplemental Revolving Commitment Increase shall be Revolving Commitments of such increased Tranche, as applicable.








		2.26	Extension of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments.










(a)          The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the (i) Term Loans of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Term Tranche”, and the Term Loans of such Tranche, the “Existing Term Loans”) or (ii) Revolving Commitments of one or more Tranches existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Tranche” and together with the Existing Term Tranches, each an “Existing Tranche”, and the Revolving Loans of such Existing Revolving Tranche, the “Existing Revolving Loans”, and together with the Existing Term Loans, the “Existing Loans”), in each case, be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal (or extend the termination date of any commitments) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount (or commitments) of any Existing Tranche (any such Existing Tranche which has been so extended, an “Extended Term Tranche” or “Extended Revolving Tranche”, as applicable, and each an “Extended Tranche”, and the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of such Extended Tranches, the “Extended Term Loans” or “Extended Revolving Commitments”, as applicable, and collectively, the “Extended Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.26; provided, that (i) any such request shall be made by the Borrower to all Lenders with Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, with a like maturity date (whether under one or more Tranches) on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Term Loans or the applicable Revolving Commitments) and (ii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion.  In order to establish any Extended Tranche, the 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 Tranche) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Tranche to be established, which terms shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the Existing Tranche from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Tranche”), except (x) all or any of the final maturity or termination dates of such Extended Tranches may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity or termination dates of the Specified Existing Tranche, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Tranche may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Tranche and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Tranche in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and/or (C) prepayment premiums may be different and (z) in the case of an Extended Term Tranche, so long as the weighted average life to maturity of such Extended Tranche would be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Specified Existing Tranche, amortization rates with respect to the Extended Term Tranche may be higher or lower than the amortization rates for the Specified Existing Tranche, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.26 or otherwise, assignments and participations of Extended Tranches shall be governed by the same or, at the Borrower’s discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions applicable to Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, set forth in Section 10.6.  No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Loans converted into an Extended Tranche pursuant to any Extension Request.  Any Extended Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche of Loans from the Specified Existing Tranches and from any other Existing Tranches (and any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).








90















(b)          The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree to) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Tranche or Existing Tranches are requested to respond.  Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Tranche converted into an Extended Tranche shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Tranche that it has elected to convert into an Extended Tranche.  In the event that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Tranches requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Tranches subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Tranches on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Tranches included in each such Extension Election.  In connection with any extension of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.26 (each, an “Extension”), the Borrower shall agree to such procedures regarding timing, rounding and other administrative adjustments to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.26.







(c)          Extended Tranches shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins, prepayment premiums or fees referenced in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 2.26(a), or, in the case of Extended Term Tranches, amortization rates referenced in clause (z) of Section 2.26(a), and which, in each case, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 2.26(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Tranches established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Extending Lenders.  Subject to the requirements of this Section 2.26 and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 10.1 to any Section 2.26 Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.26 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that such Section 2.26 Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.26 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Tranches provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.26 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 10.1; provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for (i) any Extended Tranche to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the Existing Tranches or be guaranteed by any Person other than the Guarantors and (ii) so long as any Existing Term Tranches are outstanding, any mandatory or voluntary prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Existing Term Tranches (other than Existing Term Tranches secured on a junior basis by the Collateral or ranking junior in right of payment, which shall be subject to junior prepayment provisions) on at least a pro rata basis (or otherwise provide for more favorable prepayment treatment for Extending Term Tranches than such Existing Term Tranches as contemplated by Section 2.12).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1, any such Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.26; provided, that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.26 Additional Amendment.








91















(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Tranche is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity or termination date(s) in accordance with Section 2.26(a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Tranche of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing Tranche shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Tranche so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Tranches shall be established as a separate Tranche from the Specified Existing Tranche and from any other Existing Tranches (and any other Extended Tranches so established on such date).







(e)          If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such other Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Borrower may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Extending Lender, replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower or the assignee in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Extended Loans on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned (including pursuant to Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable)) shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable.  In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.26, if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, by the later of (A) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, and (B) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Existing Loans so assigned shall be paid in full to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender.







(f)          Following any Extension Date, with the written consent of the Borrower, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its Existing Loans deemed to be an Extended Loan under the applicable Extended Tranche on any date (each date a “Designation Date”) prior to the maturity or termination date of such Extended Tranche; provided, that such Lender shall have provided written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days prior to such Designation Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion); provided, further, that no greater amount shall be paid by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates to any such Non-Extending Lender as consideration for its extension into such Extended Tranche than was paid to any Extended Lender as consideration for its Extension into such Extended Tranche.  Following a Designation Date, the Existing Loans held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be Extended Loans of the applicable Extended Tranche, and any Existing Loans held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be “Existing Loans” of the applicable Tranche.








92















(g)          With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.26, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 and (ii) no Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided, that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower) of Existing Loans of any or all applicable Tranches be extended.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.26 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.8, 2.11 and 2.12) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.26.








	SECTION III.	LETTERS OF CREDIT











		3.1	L/C Commitment.










(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue Letters of Credit under the Revolving Commitments for the account of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero.  Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or any Permitted Foreign Currency and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is three Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Facility (unless Cash Collateralized or the applicable Issuing Lender so agrees); provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).







(b)          No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would (i) conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law, or if such Requirement of Law would impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and is not otherwise reimbursable to it by the Borrower hereunder and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it or (ii) violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable generally to the issuance of letters of credit for the account of similarly situated borrowers.







3.2          Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit.  The Borrower may from time to time request that the relevant Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit (or amend, renew or extend an outstanding Letter of Credit) by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender an Application therefor, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request.  Such Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the relevant Issuing Lender, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender.  Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue (or amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event without the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue (or amend, renew or extend, as the case may be) any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower.  Such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) thereof.  Each Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the relevant Revolving Lenders, notice of the issuance (or such amendment, renewal or extension, as the case may be) of each Letter of Credit issued by it (including the amount thereof).


 



93










 



		3.3	Fees and Other Charges.










(a)          The Borrower will pay a fee, in Dollars, on each outstanding Letter of Credit requested by it, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurocurrency Loans under the related Revolving Facility, on the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, which fee shall be shared ratably among the applicable Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date; provided, that, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, such Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee accrued on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on any outstanding Letters of Credit during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; provided, further, that any Defaulting Lender’s ratable share of any letter of credit fee accrued on the aggregate amount available to be drawn on any outstanding Letters of Credit shall accrue (x) for the account of each Non-Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit which has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(d), (y) for the account of the Borrower with respect to any L/C Shortfall if the Borrower has paid to the Administrative Agent an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of the L/C Shortfall to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the applicable Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent, or (z) for the account of the applicable Issuing Lenders, in any other instance, in each case so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee, in Dollars, on the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it to the Borrower, equal to the L/C Fronting Fee Rate, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.







(b)          In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for standard costs and expenses agreed by the Borrower and such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit requested by the Borrower.








94
















		3.4	L/C Participations.










(a)          Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder.  Each L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by it for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (“L/C Disbursements”); provided, that nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against any Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.







(b)          If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the related Revolving Facility.  A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any relevant L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be presumptively correct in the absence of demonstrable error.







(c)          Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Lender any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.








95















(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event an L/C Participant becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s applicable Revolving Percentage in all outstanding Letters of Credit will automatically be reallocated among the applicable L/C Participants that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Non-Defaulting Lender’s applicable Revolving Percentage (calculated without regard to the Revolving Commitments of the Defaulting Lender), but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the Revolving Commitments of such Non-Defaulting Lender.  If such reallocation cannot, or can only partially, be effected the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to such Defaulting Lender’s applicable Revolving Percentage (calculated as in effect immediately prior to it becoming a Defaulting Lender) of the L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.4(d)) to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.  So long as there is a Defaulting Lender, an Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit where the sum of the Non-Defaulting Lenders’ applicable Revolving Percentages of the outstanding Revolving Loans and their participations in Letters of Credit after giving effect to any such requested Letter of Credit would exceed (each such excess, the “L/C Shortfall”) the aggregate applicable Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, unless the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of the L/C Shortfall, such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.







3.5          Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower.  The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on the Business Day following the date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued or continued by such Issuing Lender at the Borrower’s request (including any Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary) and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of such draft so paid.  Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified to the Borrower in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at a rate equal to (i) until the second Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice (which notice shall be provided on the date the relevant draft is paid), the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility and (ii) thereafter, the rate set forth in Section 2.15(c).  In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the draft so paid promptly following the determination thereof.







3.6          Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute, unconditional and  irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.  The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things,








		(i)	the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact later prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged;











		(ii)	any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred;











96
















		(iii)	any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee;











		(iv)	any other events or circumstances that, pursuant to applicable law or the applicable customs and practices promulgated by the ICC, are not within the responsibility of such Issuing Lender;











		(v)	waiver by such Issuing Lender of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Lender’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by such Issuing Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;











		(vi)	honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;











		(vii)	any payment made by such Issuing Lender in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the Uniform Commercial Code, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;











		(viii)	any payment by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;











		(ix)	any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Permitted Foreign Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or











		(x)	any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except, in each case, for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or its employees or agents.










No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or its employees or agents (such gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (such gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

3.7          Role of the Issuing Lender.  Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lenders shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by a Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity, authenticity or accuracy of any such document (provided, that the Issuing Lenders will determine whether such documents appear on their face to be in order) or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lenders shall be liable to any Lender for:








		(i)	any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable;











		(ii)	any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (such gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction);











		(iii)	the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or related Application, or any other document, agreement and instrument entered into by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary) or in favor of such Issuing Lender and relating to such Letter of Credit; or











		(iv)	any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages.










The 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, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lenders shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (x) of Section 3.6; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the relevant Issuing Lender, and such Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit (such gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful failure to pay, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) and documents expressly required by and strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lenders may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, and provided that a Letter of Credit is issued permitting transfer then the Issuing Lenders 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.  The Issuing Lenders may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary, as agreed to with the Borrower.







3.8          Letter of Credit Payments.  If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof.  The responsibility of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (a) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (b) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

3.11         Designation of Issuing Lender.  The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as Issuing Lender one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided herein.  The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Issuing Lender, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Lender of Letters of Credit hereunder.

(B)          any property or asset to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited or effectively restricted by any applicable law (only so long as such prohibition exists) or requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such applicable laws;







(C)          any Excluded Accounts and any Excluded Equity Securities;







(D)          (w) any assets owned on or acquired after the Closing Date, to the extent that, and for so long as, taking such actions would violate applicable law or regulation (after giving effect to Section 9-406(d), 9-407(a), 9-408 or 9-409 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law), (x) any assets acquired before or after the Closing Date, to the extent that and for so long as such grant would violate an enforceable contractual obligation binding on such assets that existed at the time of the acquisition thereof and was not created or made binding on such assets in contemplation or in connection with the acquisition of such assets, (y) any assets (1) owned on the Closing Date or (2) acquired after the Closing Date, in each case in this clause (y), securing Indebtedness of the type permitted pursuant to Section 7.2(c) (or other Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.2(d), 7.2(j), 7.2(t) or 7.2(v) if such Indebtedness is of the type that is contemplated by Section 7.2(c)) that is secured by a Lien permitted by Section 7.3 so long as the documents governing such Lien do not permit the pledge of such assets to the Collateral Agent, or (z) any lease, license or other agreement, any asset embodying rights, priorities or privileges granted under such leases, licenses or agreements, or any property subject to a purchase money security interest or similar arrangement to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate, breach or invalidate such lease, license or agreement or purchase money arrangement or create a right of acceleration, modification, termination or cancellation in favor of any other party thereto (other than any Loan Party) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or applicable law, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, and only for so long such prohibition exists and to the extent such prohibition was not creation in contemplation of such grant;







(E)          (x) any assets to the extent a security interest in such assets could reasonably be expected to result in material adverse tax consequences (including as a result of the operation of Section 956 of the Code or any similar law or regulation in any applicable jurisdiction) as reasonably determined in good faith by the Borrower, or (y) any assets as to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall reasonably determine that the costs and burdens of obtaining a security interest therein outweigh the value of the security afforded thereby;








116















(F)          any leasehold interest in Real Property (and any Fixtures relating thereto) and any Fixtures relating to any owned Real Property to the extent that the Collateral Agent is not otherwise entitled to a security interest with respect to such owned Real Property under the terms of this Agreement; and







(G)          any owned Real Property other than Material Real Property, but in any event excluding any Excluded Real Property.







(f)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any new Restricted Subsidiary is created solely for the purpose of consummating a merger transaction pursuant to an acquisition permitted by Section 7.7, and such new Subsidiary at no time holds any assets or liabilities other than any merger consideration contributed to it substantially contemporaneously with the closing of such merger transaction, such new Subsidiary shall not be required to take the actions set forth in Section 6.8(c) or 6.8(d), as applicable, until the respective acquisition is consummated (at which time the surviving entity of the respective merger transaction shall be required to so comply within ten Business Days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6.8 shall not apply to assets as to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall reasonably determine that the costs and burdens of obtaining a security interest therein or perfection thereof outweigh the value of the security afforded thereby.  The Administrative Agent may grant extensions of time or waivers of requirement for the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of insurance (including title insurance) or surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Closing Date for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Loan Parties on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that perfection or obtaining of such items cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.







(h)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary acquires any Material Real Property (other than Excluded Real Property) or (b) the Required Lenders or Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing that they have or it has a reasonable belief that either the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in breach of its obligations under Section 6.4 (to the extent applicable to Environmental Law or Releases of Materials of Environmental Concern), then the Borrower shall deliver within 60 days after the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, requests therefor or such longer period as the Administrative Agent shall agree, at the Borrower’s cost and expense, an environmental assessment report, in the case of clause (b) above of a scope reasonably appropriate to address the subject of the Required Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s, as applicable, reasonable belief that such a breach exists, prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, indicating the presence or absence of Materials of Environmental Concern or noncompliance with Environmental Law and the estimated cost of any compliance, response or other corrective action to address any identified Materials of Environmental Concern, to the extent required by Environmental Law, or noncompliance on such properties.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines at any time that a material risk exists that any such report will not be provided within the time referred to above, the Administrative Agent may retain an environmental consulting firm to prepare such report at the expense of the Borrower (which report would be addressed to the Borrower), and the Borrower hereby grants and agrees to cause any Subsidiary that owns or leases any property described in such request to grant the Administrative Agent, such firm and any agents or representatives thereof an irrevocable non-exclusive license, subject to the rights of tenants or necessary consent of landlords, to enter onto their respective properties to undertake such an assessment on behalf of the Borrower. By virtue of the foregoing, the Borrower does not intend to waive the attorney-client privilege with respect to any information or advice provided by the environmental consulting firm.

(ii)          any security interest purported to be created by any Security Document with respect to any material portion of the Collateral of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis shall cease to be, or shall be asserted in writing by any Loan Party not to be, a valid and perfected security interest (having the priority required by this Agreement or the relevant Security Document) in the securities, assets or properties covered thereby, except to the extent that (x) any such loss of perfection or priority results from limitations of foreign laws, rules and regulations as they apply to pledges of Capital Stock in Foreign Subsidiaries or the application thereof, or from the failure of the Collateral Agent (or, in the case of the ABL Facility First Priority Collateral, the collateral agent under the ABL Facility Agreement) to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or otherwise or to file UCC continuation statements, (y) such loss is covered by a lender’s title insurance policy and the Administrative Agent shall be reasonably satisfied with the credit of such insurer or (z) any such loss of validity, perfection or priority is the result of any failure by the Collateral Agent (or, in the case of the ABL Facility First Priority Collateral, the collateral agent under the ABL Facility Agreement) to take any action necessary to secure the validity, perfection or priority of the security interests; or







(iii)          the Guarantee Obligations pursuant to the Security Documents by any Loan Party of any of the Obligations shall cease to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof), or such Guarantee Obligations shall be asserted in writing by any Loan Party not to be in effect or not to be legal, valid and binding obligations; or







(j)           (i)           Holdings shall cease to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Capital Stock of the Borrower; or







(ii)          for any reason whatsoever, any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act as in effect on the Closing Date, but excluding any employee benefit plan of such person and its subsidiaries, and any person or entity acting in its capacity as trustee, agent or other fiduciary or administrator of any such plan, and excluding the Permitted Investors) shall become the “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act as in effect on the Closing Date), directly or indirectly, of more than the greater of (x) 35% of the then outstanding voting securities having ordinary voting power of Holdings and (y) the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities having ordinary voting power of Holdings owned, directly or indirectly, beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act as in effect on the Closing Date) by the Permitted Investors (it being understood that if any such person or group includes one or more Permitted Investors, the outstanding voting securities having ordinary voting power of Holdings directly or indirectly owned by the Permitted Investors that are part of such person or group shall not be treated as being owned by such person or group for purposes of determining whether this clause (y) is triggered) (any of the foregoing, a “Change of Control”);








151















then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken:  (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Revolving Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.  In the case of all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit.  Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been backstopped or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower then due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto).  Except as expressly provided above in this Section 8.1 or otherwise in any Loan Document, presentment, demand and protest of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.








	SECTION IX.	THE AGENTS










9.1          Appointment.  Each Lender, Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each Agent as the agent of such Lender under the Loan Documents and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the applicable Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including the authority to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement, any Joinder Agreement, Increase Supplement, Lender Joinder Agreement and any Extension Amendment.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct each Agent to, without any further consent of any Secured Party, enter into (or acknowledge and consent to) or amend, renew, extend, supplement, restate, replace, waive or otherwise modify the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any Other Intercreditor Agreement with the collateral agent or other representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is not prohibited (including with respect to priority) under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations to the provisions thereof.  The Lenders irrevocably agree that (x) the Agents may rely exclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower as to whether any such other Liens are permitted and (y) the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any Other Intercreditor Agreement entered into by either Agent shall be binding on the Lenders, and each Lender hereby agrees that it will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement.







9.2          Delegation of Duties.  Each Agent may execute any of its duties under the applicable Loan Documents by or through any of its branches, agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  Neither Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.  Each Agent and any such agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties by or through their respective Related Persons.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such agent or attorney-in-fact and to the Related Persons of each Agent and any such agent or attorney-in-fact, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.








152















9.3          Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral.  The Agents shall not 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 Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party, nor shall any Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability that is not subject to indemnification under Section 10.5 or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.







9.4          Reliance by the Agents.  The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation 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 the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agents.  Each Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note 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.  Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under the applicable Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility) 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 Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the applicable Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility), 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.  In determining compliance with any conditions hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, an Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, the Agents may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender, Issuing Lender, or Swingline Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.


 



153










9.5          Notice of Default.  Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the 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 an Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility); provided, that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such 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.







9.6          Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 the Loan Parties and their Affiliates 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 any 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 the applicable Loan 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 the Loan Parties and their Affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agents hereunder, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, Property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of either Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates.







9.7          Indemnification.  The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent, any Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (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 such Aggregate Exposure Percentages 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 (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent, any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan 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 such Agent, any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s, Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 



154










 


9.8          Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent.  With respect to its Loans or Swingline Loan made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the applicable Loan 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.








		9.9	Successor Agents.










(a)          Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, any Agent may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders, the Borrower and the other Agent effective upon appointment of a successor Agent.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be a bank that has an office in New York, New York with a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders with such consent of the Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, with the qualifications set forth above.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.







(b)          If at any time either the Borrower or the Required Lenders determine that any Person serving as an Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower by notice to the Lenders and such Person or the Required Lenders by notice to the Borrower and such Person may, subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, remove such Person as an Agent.  If such Person is removed as an Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  Such removal will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective on the date a replacement Agent is appointed.







(c)          Any resignation by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9 shall also constitute its resignation as Collateral Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, provided that, to the extent such successor Administrative Agent is not capable of becoming an Issuing Lender, such successor shall not so succeed and become vested and another Issuing Lender may be appointed in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of “Issuing Lender”, (ii) the retiring Collateral Agent, Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for or to backstop the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.10         Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees.  The Agents are hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release or subordination of Liens or Guarantee Obligations contemplated by Section 10.15.







9.11         Agents May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether either Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,







(a)          to file a proof of claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Agents under Sections 2.9, 3.3 and 10.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and







(b)          to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;







and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender to make such payments to the Agents and, if either Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, Issuing Lenders and Swingline Lender, to pay to such Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to such Agent under Sections 2.9 and 10.5.







Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender to authorize such Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender or in any such proceeding.







9.12         Specified Hedge Agreements, Specified Cash Management Obligations and Specified Additional Obligations.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Security Documents, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no Person that obtains the benefits of any guarantee by any Guarantor of the Obligations or any Collateral with respect to any Specified Hedge Agreement entered into by it and the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or with respect to any Specified Cash Management Obligations or Specified Additional Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to such Person shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than, if applicable, in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, neither Agent shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, obligations arising under any Specified Hedge Agreement or with respect to Specified Cash Management Obligations or with respect to Specified Additional Obligations unless such Agent has received written notice of such obligations, together with such supporting documentation as it may request, from the applicable Person to whom such obligations are owed.


 



156










 


9.13         Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, Syndication Agent and Co-Documentation Agents.  None of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent or the Co-Documentation Agents shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities.








	SECTION X.	MISCELLANEOUS

(a)          Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including Sections 2.25, 2.26, 7.11 and 10.16) or the applicable Loan Documents, neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1.







The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, subject to the acknowledgment of the Administrative Agent, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding, deleting or otherwise modifying any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights or obligations of the Agents, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Lenders or of the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:







(A)          forgive or reduce the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date or reduce the amount of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest, fee or premium payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial ratios in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (A)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, which such consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby shall be sufficient to effect such waiver without regard for a Required Lender consent;







(B)          amend, modify or waive any provision of paragraph (a) of this Section 10.1 without the written consent of all Lenders;







(C)          reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as provided in Section 7.4(j)), release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders (except as expressly permitted hereby (including pursuant to Section 7.4 or 7.5) or by any Security Document);








157















(D)          amend, modify or waive any provision of paragraph (a) or (c) of Section 2.18 or Section 6.6 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement without the written consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby;







(E)          amend, modify or waive any provision of paragraph (b) of Section 2.18 without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of each Facility directly and adversely affected thereby, which such Majority Facility Lenders consent under each applicable Facility shall be sufficient to effect such waiver as to the applicable Facility without regard for a Required Lender consent;







(F)          reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility, which consent shall be sufficient to effect such waiver under the applicable Facility without regard for a Required Lender consent;







(G)          amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 with respect to any Agent without the written consent of such Agent;







(H)          amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 with respect to any Issuing Lender without the written consent of such Issuing Lender;

(J)          reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Revolving Lenders without the written consent of all Revolving Lenders, which consent of all Revolving Lenders shall be sufficient to effect such waiver without regard for a Required Lender consent; or







(K)          amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 without the written consent of the Swingline Lender;







provided, further, that the consent of the applicable Majority Facility Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders under such Facility in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different from such amendment that affects other Facilities.








158















Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Issuing Lender, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing unless limited by the terms of such waiver; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.







Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendment, modification, waiver or other action which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders or Other Affiliates (other than Debt Fund Affiliates), except that (x) the Commitment of any such Defaulting Lender or any such Other Affiliate may not be increased or extended, the maturity of the Loans of any such Defaulting Lender or any such Other Affiliate may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of such Loans may not be reduced and the principal amount of any of such Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender or such Other Affiliate and (y) any amendment, modification, waiver or other action that by its terms adversely affects any such Defaulting Lender or such Other Affiliate in its capacity as a Lender in a manner that differs in any material respect from, and is more adverse to such Defaulting Lender or such Other Affiliate than it is to, other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender or such Other Affiliate.







(b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement (it being understood that no Lender shall have any obligation to provide or to commit to provide all or any portion of any such additional credit facility) and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately, after the effectiveness of any such amendment (or amendment and restatement), the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders, the Required Prepayment Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders, as applicable.







(c)          In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Refinancing Term Loans (as defined below), as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to provide for the incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Obligations under this Agreement in the form of a new tranche of Term Loans hereunder (“Refinancing Term Loans”), which Refinancing Term Loans will be used to refinance all or any portion of the outstanding Term Loans of any Tranche (“Refinanced Term Loans”); provided, that:







(i)          the aggregate principal amount of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans (plus accrued interest, fees, discounts, premiums and expenses);







(ii)          except as otherwise permitted by this clause (c) and the definition of the term “Permitted Refinancing Obligations” (including with respect to maturity and amortization), all terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or (when taken as a whole, as shall be determined in good faith by the Borrower) less favorable to the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, other than for any covenants and other terms applicable solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date; and








159















(iii)          The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the date on which the Borrower proposes that such Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree to) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, and no amendments relating thereto shall become effective, unless the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered documents of a type comparable to those described under clause (x) of Section 2.25(b).







(d)          In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Refinancing Revolving Commitments (as defined below), as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to provide for the incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Obligations under this Agreement in the form of a new tranche of Revolving Commitments hereunder (“Refinancing Revolving Commitments”), which Refinancing Revolving Commitments will be used to refinance or replace all or any portion of the Revolving Commitments hereunder (“Refinanced Revolving Commitments”); provided, that:







(i)          the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of such Refinanced Revolving Commitments (plus accrued interest, fees, discounts, premiums and expenses); and







(ii)          except as otherwise permitted by this clause (d) and the definition of the term “Permitted Refinancing Obligations” (including with respect to maturity), all terms applicable to such Refinancing Revolving Commitments shall be substantially identical to, or (when taken as a whole, as shall be determined in good faith by the Borrower) less favorable to the Lenders providing such Refinancing Revolving Commitments than, those applicable to such Refinanced Revolving Commitments, other than for any covenants and other terms applicable solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date.  Any Refinancing Revolving Commitments that have the same terms shall constitute a single Tranche hereunder.







The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the date on which the Borrower proposes that such Refinancing Revolving Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree to) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such Refinancing Revolving Commitments, and no amendments relating thereto, shall become effective, unless the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered documents of a type comparable to those described under clause (x) of Section 2.25(b).







(e)          Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect, or inconsistency, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof; it being understood that posting such amendment electronically on the Platform to the Required Lenders shall be deemed adequate receipt of notice of such amendment.








160















(f)          Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with Sections 2.25, 2.26, 7.11 and 10.16.







(g)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver or other action requiring the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, Lenders that are Debt Fund Affiliates shall not be permitted, in the aggregate, to account for more than 49% of the amounts actually included in determining whether the threshold in the definition of Required Lenders has been satisfied.  The voting power of each Lender that is a Debt Fund Affiliate shall be reduced, pro rata, to the extent necessary in order to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.







(h)          The Lenders hereby agree that the Borrower may elect at any time after the Closing Date to replace the ABL Facility Agreement entered into on the Closing Date with a revolving credit facility or other debt agreement (a “Pari Passu Replacement Agreement”) that would be treated as an “ABL Facility Agreement” (as defined in and for the purposes of the applicable provisions of this Agreement) but that would not be asset-based and would be secured by all the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Secured Obligations that are secured on a first-lien basis pursuant to an Other Intercreditor Agreement, provided that the aggregate principal amount thereunder is permitted by Section 7.2(aa).  The Lenders hereby further agree that in connection with the establishment of a Pari Passu Replacement Agreement, this Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented to reflect such Pari Passu Replacement Agreement, in each case by the Administrative Agent (or Collateral Agent, as applicable) and the Borrower, but without the consent of any Lender.

provided, that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Agents, the Lenders or the Borrower shall not be effective until received; provided, further, notice addresses for Issuing Lenders and Swingline Lenders shall be set forth in the documents appointing such Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender.







(b)          Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by posting to the Platform or by any electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender.  Any Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.







(c)          The Borrower, each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that (i) Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive information other than information that is publicly available, or not material with respect to Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or their respective securities, for purposes of the United States Federal and state securities laws (collectively, “Public Information”).  The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that is Public Information and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as containing only Public Information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.14); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”; provided, that there is no requirement that the Borrower identify any such information as “PUBLIC.”







(d)          THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline 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 Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent Party or any of its Related Persons; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).








163















(e)          Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to such other Persons.  Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender.  In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.  Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal securities laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain information other than Public Information.







(f)          The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices of borrowing) believed in good faith by the Administrative Agent to be given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.








		10.3	No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.










(a)          No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.







(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.1 for the benefit of all the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) each Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) each Issuing Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.7(b) (subject to the terms of Section 10.7(a)), or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law.


 



164










 


10.4         Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.







10.5         Payment of Expenses; Indemnification.  Except with respect to Taxes which are addressed in Section 2.20, the Borrower agrees:







(a)          to pay or reimburse each Agent for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith and any amendment, supplement or modification hereto or thereto, and, as to the Agents only, the administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of a single firm of counsel to the Agents (plus one firm of special regulatory counsel and one firm of local counsel per material jurisdiction as may reasonably be necessary in connection with collateral matters) in connection with all of the foregoing;







(b)          to pay or reimburse each Lender and each Agent for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents referred to in Section 10.5(a) above (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or in connection with any workout or restructuring), including the documented fees and disbursements of a single firm of counsel and, if necessary, a single firm of special regulatory counsel and a single firm of local counsel per material jurisdiction as may reasonably be necessary, for the Agents and the Lenders, taken as a whole and, in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Agent or Lender affected by such conflict informs the Borrower and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional counsel for each Lender or Agent or group of Lenders or Agents subject to such conflict; and







(c)          to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Agent, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Joint Bookrunner and their respective Affiliates, and their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, trustees, advisors, agents and controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements arising out of any actions, judgments or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with any claim, action or proceeding (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) relating to or otherwise with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents referred to in Section 10.5(a) above and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans, Letters of Credit (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (c), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”);








165















provided, that, the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Persons as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision (or settlement tantamount thereto), (ii) a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or its Related Persons as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision (or settlement tantamount thereto), (iii) disputes solely among Indemnitees or their Related Persons and not arising from any act or omission by any Parent Company, Holdings, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (it being understood that this clause (iii) shall not apply to the indemnification of an Agent or an Arranger in a suit involving an Agent or an Arranger, in each case, in its capacity as such, unless such suit has resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent or Arranger as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision (or settlement tantamount thereto)) or (iv) any settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Proceeding, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 10.5.







No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other material distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.







For purposes hereof, a “Related Person” of an Indemnitee means (i) if the Indemnitee is any Agent or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons, any of such Agent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons; provided, that solely for purposes of Section 9, references to each Agent’s Related Persons shall also include such Agent’s trustees and advisors, and (ii) if the Indemnitee is any Lender or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners that are natural persons, members that are natural persons, officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons, any of such Lender and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling Persons.  All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable promptly after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.  Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to the Borrower at the address thereof set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.







The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Obligations.








		10.6	Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.










(a)          The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (other than in accordance with Section 7.4(j)) without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) subject to Sections 2.24 and 2.26(e), no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6.








166















(b)         (i)          Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may, in compliance with applicable law, assign (other than to any Disqualified Institution or a natural person) to one or more assignees including an Other Affiliate, Holdings or any Subsidiary to the extent contemplated by Sections 10.6(g) and (h) (each, an “Assignee”), all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that it shall be deemed reasonable for the Borrower to withhold such consent in respect of a prospective Lender if the Borrower reasonably believes such prospective Lender would constitute a Disqualified Institution) of:







(1)          the Borrower; provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment of (x) Term Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund (other than a Defaulting Lender), (y) Revolving Loans to a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender, or an Approved Fund of a Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or (z) any Loan or Commitment if an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further, that a consent under this clause (A) shall be deemed given if the Borrower shall not have objected in writing to a proposed assignment within ten Business Days after receipt by it of a written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent;







(2)          the Administrative Agent; provided, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (other than a Defaulting Lender); and







(3)          in the case of an assignment under the Revolving Facility, each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender.







(ii)          Subject to Sections 2.24 and 2.26(e), assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:







(1)          except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of (I) the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or (II) if earlier, the “trade date” (if any) specified in such Assignment and Assumption) shall not be less than (x) $5,000,000, in the case of the Revolving Facility or (y) $1,000,000, in the case of the Initial Term B Facility, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided, that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;







(2)          the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption or Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, at the Borrower’s request, manually) together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to be paid by either the applicable assignor or assignee (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided, that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of contemporaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds; and








167















(3)          the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire and all applicable tax forms.







For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (I) a Lender, (II) an Affiliate of a Lender, (III) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender or (IV) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that is the investment advisor to a Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to make assignments under this Agreement to any Disqualified Institutions without the written consent of the Borrower.







(iii)          Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption or Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption or Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption or Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be subject to the obligations under and entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 10.5 and 10.14).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6 (and will be required to comply therewith), other than any sale to a Disqualified Institution, which shall be null and void.







(iv)          The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender 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 (and the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error for such purposes), notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.







(v)          Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption or Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (except as contemplated by Sections 2.24 and 2.26(e)), the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and all applicable tax forms, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)          (i)          Any Lender may, without the consent of any Person, in compliance with applicable law, sell participations (other than to any Disqualified Institution) to one or more banks or other entities (including Other Affiliates) (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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 (if such Participant agrees to have related obligations thereunder (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to sell participations under this Agreement to any Disqualified Institutions without the written consent of the Borrower.







(ii)          A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent to such greater amounts.  No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.20(e), (g) or (j), as (and to the extent) applicable, as if such Participant were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20 shall be delivered to the participating Lender).







(iii)          Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register on which it enters the name and addresses of each Participant, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the IRS.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (it its capacity as such) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.








169















(d)          Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, and this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.







(e)          The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring the same (in the case of an assignment, following surrender by the assigning Lender of all Notes representing its assigned interests).







(f)          The Borrower may prohibit any assignment if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.







(g)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans hereunder to any Other Affiliate (including any Debt Fund Affiliate), but only if:








		(i)	no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;










(ii)          the assigning Lender and Other Affiliate purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption”) in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption;







(iii)          after giving effect to such assignment, Other Affiliates (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not, in the aggregate, own or hold Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 20% of the principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding (calculated as of the date of such purchase); and







(iv)          such Other Affiliate (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall (A) at the time of such assignment affirm the No Undisclosed Information Representation, (B) at all times thereafter be subject to the voting restrictions specified in Section 10.1 and (C) at the time of any sale by it of any portion of such Term Loans, Specified Refinancing Term Loans or New Term Loans (other than a sale to another Other Affiliate), affirm the No Undisclosed Information Representation.







(h)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans of any Tranche hereunder to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, but only if:








170















(i)           (A) such assignment is made pursuant to a Dutch Auction open to all Term Lenders of the same Tranche on a pro rata basis or (B) such assignment is made as an Open Market Purchase;







(ii)           no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before or immediately after giving effect to such assignment;







(iii)          the relevant Auction Offeror shall represent and warrant, as of the date of the launch of the Dutch Auction and on the date of any such assignment, that it does not have any material non-public information that has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than to the extent any such Term Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) prior to such date;







(iv)          immediately and automatically, without any further action on the part of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, upon the effectiveness of such assignment of Term Loans from a Term Lender to the relevant Auction Offeror, such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Term Lender related thereto shall, for all purposes under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise, be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and such Auction Offeror shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Term Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such assignment; and







(v)          the relevant Auction Offeror shall not use the proceeds of any Revolving Facility for any such assignment.







(i)           Except as provided in Sections 10.6(g) and (h), none of the Sponsor, any Other Affiliate, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may acquire by assignment, participation or otherwise any right to or interest in any of the Commitments or Loans hereunder (and any such attempted acquisition shall be null and void).







(j)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Other Affiliates (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not have any right to attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any other Lender to which representatives of the Borrower are not then present, (ii) Other Affiliates (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not have any right to receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more other Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or their representatives, (iii) no assignments in respect of the Revolving Facility may be made to the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor and (iv) neither the Sponsor nor any Affiliate of the Sponsor (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) may be entitled to receive advice of counsel to the Agents or other Lenders and none of them shall challenge any assertion of attorney-client privilege by any Agent or other Lender.







(k)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.26(e) shall be deemed an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b) and shall be valid and in full force and effect for all purposes under this Agreement.







(l)           Any assignor of a Loan or Commitment or seller of a participation hereunder shall be entitled to rely conclusively on a representation of the assignee Lender or purchaser of such participation in the relevant Assignment and Assumption or participation agreement, as applicable, that such assignee or purchaser is not a Disqualified Institution.  None of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners or the Agents shall have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of, or enforcing provisions relating to, Disqualified Institutions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

10.7         Adjustments; Set off.







(a)          Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that (i) 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 and (ii) the provisions of this Section 10.7 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including prepayments received pursuant to Sections 10.6(g) or (h)) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.







(b)          In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) after the expiration of any cure or grace periods, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.







10.8         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.







10.12       Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:







(a)           submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any Letter of Credit to which it is a party to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York (the “New York Supreme Court”), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court” and, together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”), and appellate courts from either of them; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) any Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations (in which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense, including any claim or defense that this Section 10.12 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court), or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment and (iii) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction;







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

(d)          agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

		10.15	Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations; Subordination of Liens.










(a)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents (including by way of merger and including any assets transferred to a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement) or any Loan Party becoming an Excluded Subsidiary or ceasing to be a Subsidiary, all Liens and Guarantees on such assets or all assets of such Excluded Subsidiary or former Subsidiary shall automatically terminate and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement or documentation in respect of Specified Cash Management Obligations or Specified Additional Obligations) execute and deliver all releases reasonably necessary or desirable (i) to evidence the release of Liens created in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition (including any assets of any Loan Party that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary) or of such Excluded Subsidiary or former Subsidiary, as applicable, (ii) to provide notices of the termination of the assignment of any Property for which an assignment had been made pursuant to any of the Loan Documents which is being Disposed of in such Disposition or of such Excluded Subsidiary or former Subsidiary, as applicable, and (iii) to release the  Guarantee and any other obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition or which becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or former Subsidiary, as applicable.  Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Property so Disposed of (other than Property Disposed of to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or of a Loan Party which becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or former Subsidiary, as applicable, shall no longer be deemed to be repeated once such Property is so Disposed of.   In addition, upon the reasonable request of the Borrower in connection with (A) any Lien of the type permitted by Section 7.3(g) on Excluded Collateral to secure Indebtedness to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.2(c) (or pursuant to Section 7.2(d), 7.2(j), or 7.2(v) if such Indebtedness is of the type that is contemplated by Section 7.2(c)) if the holder of such Lien so requires, (B) any Lien securing Indebtedness pursuant to Section 7.2(t)(x) if the holder of such Lien so requires and pursuant to Section 7.2(t)(y) if the holder of such Lien so requires and if the holder of the applicable Indebtedness being refinanced also so requires, and in each case to the extent constituting Excluded Collateral, (C) any Lien of the type permitted by Sections 7.3(o), 7.3(r)(i), 7.3(t) or 7.3(bb), in each case, to the extent the obligations giving rise to such permitted Lien prohibit (or require the release of) the security interest of the Collateral Agent thereon and so long as such cash subject to such Lien is not included in the definition of Qualified Cash after giving effect thereto, or 7.3(kk) to the extent constituting Excluded Collateral, or (D) the ownership of joint ventures or other entities qualifying under clause (iv) of the definition of Excluded Equity Securities, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver all releases necessary or desirable to evidence that no Liens exist on such Excluded Collateral under the Loan Documents.








176















(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than (x) obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement, Specified Cash Management Obligations or Specified Additional Obligations and (y) any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding that is not Cash Collateralized, upon the request of the Borrower, all Liens and Guarantee Obligations under any Loan Documents shall automatically terminate and the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement or documentation in respect of Specified Cash Management Obligations or Specified Additional Obligations) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all Guarantee Obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements, Specified Cash Management Obligations or Specified Additional Obligations or contingent or indemnification obligations not then due.  Any such release of Guarantee Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Guarantee Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its Property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.







(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Liens permitted by the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to subordinate the Lien on any Collateral to any Lien permitted under Section 7.3.







10.16       Accounting Changes.  In the event that any Accounting Change (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial ratios, covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then following notice either from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which the Administrative Agent shall give at the request of the Required Lenders), the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition and covenant capacities shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made.  If any such notices are given then, regardless of whether such notice is given prior to or following such Accounting Change, until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and have become effective, all financial ratios, covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred.  Any amendment contemplated by the prior sentence shall become effective upon the consent of the Required Lenders, it being understood that a Lender shall be deemed to have consented to and executed such amendment if such Lender has not objected in writing within five Business Days following receipt of notice of execution of the applicable amendment by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the posting of an amendment referred to in the preceding sentence electronically on the Platform to the Lenders shall be deemed adequate receipt of notice of such amendment.  “Accounting Changes” refers to changes in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC, in each case, occurring after the Closing Date, including any change to IFRS contemplated by the definition of “GAAP.”  Without limiting the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement, the determination of whether a lease is to be treated as an operating lease or capital lease shall be made without giving effect to any change in accounting for leases pursuant to GAAP resulting from the implementation of proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU) Leases (Topic 840) issued August 17, 2010, or any successor proposal.

Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Publ. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act, and the Borrower agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender or Agent reasonably promptly upon request from such Lender or Agent.







10.19       Effect of Certain Inaccuracies.  In the event that any financial statement delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b) or any Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(b) is inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for such Applicable Period, then (i) promptly following the correction of such financial statement by the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected financial statement and a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin and Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for the Test Period preceding the delivery of such corrected financial statement and Compliance Certificate shall be determined based on the corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period and (iii) the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest or commitment fees owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for such Test Period.  This Section 10.19 shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder, including under Section 8.1.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, as of the Closing Date, neither the Applicable Margin nor the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate is determined by reference to any financial ratio or metric reported on any financial statement delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b) or any Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(b).



178















10.20        Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.20 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.







10.21       Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.







10.22       Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.  The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other notices of borrowing, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.








179















10.23       Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:







(a)          the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and








		(b)	the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:











		(A)	a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;










(B)          a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or







(C)          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.

Existing Investments







Joint Ventures:







Investments in Luxasia (Southeast Asia)







Elizabeth Arden SEA Private Limited is a private limited company of Singapore (the “EA Luxasia JV”), which was formed on or about July 23, 2015 and the EA Luxasia Shareholders Agreement became effective on or about September 1, 2015.  EA Luxasia JV has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Elizabeth Arden SEA (HK) Ltd., a Hong Kong limited company.







EA Luxasia JV has paid capital of SGD 120,000.00 and was formed to carry on general trading activities including the sale, promotion and distribution of certain Elizabeth Arden branded beauty products (including fragrances or perfumes, makeup, skin and body care and ancillary products) in a specified territory.  Most significantly, it serves as the Company’s distributor in its territory.







EA Luxasia JV’s territory (the “Luxasia Territory”) is defined to include the local markets (exclusive of duty free and travel retail shops, airlines and sealines) of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos Myanmar (subject to prior diligence and clearance by EA Netherlands), and Hong Kong (effective January 1, 2016); China (but only as to Juicy Couture and John Varvatos fragrance brands); Taiwan (but only as to Juicy Couture, John Varvatos, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber fragrance brands); and certain duty free accounts, but only as to Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and Taylor Swift fragrance brands.







Investments in Chalhoub (UAE)







Elizabeth Arden Middle East FZCO is a Free Zone Company in the Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (the “EA Chalhoub JV”), which was formed on or about October 1, 2014 and the EA Chalhoub Shareholders Agreement became effective on or about January 1, 2015.







EA Chalhoub JV has paid in capital of $81,677.00 and was formed to carry on general trading activities including the sale, promotion and distribution of certain Elizabeth Arden branded beauty products (including fragrances or perfumes, makeup, skin and body care and ancillary products) in a specified territory.  Most significantly, it serves as the Company’s distributor in its territory.







EA Chalhoub JV’s territory (the “Chalhoub Territory”) is defined to include the local markets and Duty Free Shops, airlines, sealines of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Jordan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. Further, to the extent such countries are not prohibited by U.S. export control laws any longer and any person or entity used as a distributor in such country is not designated as a target of U.S. economic sanctions by OFAC in such country, Iran and Syria may be included as part of the territory.  As a Jebel Ali Free Zone (the “JAFZ”) company, the EA Chalhoub JV requires trade licenses for its operations outside of the JAFZ.





















Investment in U.S. Cosmeceutechs, LLC







Since July 2013, the Target, through a subsidiary (the “EA USC Subsidiary”), has invested $9.0 million in US Cosmeceutechs, LLC (“USC”), a skin care company that develops and sells skin care products for the professional dermatology and spa channels, and separately purchased a 30% equity interest in USC from the sole equity member for $3.6 million. The investment, which is in the form of a collateralized convertible note (the “Convertible Note”), bears interest at 1.5%. Upon conversion of the Convertible Note, the Target will own 85.45% of the fully diluted equity interests in USC (inclusive of EA USC Subsidiary’s current equity interest). The Target expects that the Convertible Note will convert into 85.45% of the fully diluted equity interests of USC by September 1, 2016.







Investment in Newton Medical, LLC







In July 2013, the Target invested $3 million for a 20% membership interest in Newton Medical, LLC, a beauty device manufacturer (the “Device Company”). In February 2015, the equity interest purchase agreement was amended to, among other things, remove both (i) the obligation the Target had to purchase an additional 20% equity interest upon the achievement of certain milestones, and (ii) the Target’s option to purchase the remaining 60% equity interest in the Device Company. The amendment also terminated Target’s exclusive license to become the worldwide manufacturer, marketer and distributor of the beauty device. The Target remains a passive investor in the Device Company.







Investment in Elizabeth Arden Salon Holdings, Inc.







Since September 2012, the Target has invested $13.7 million for a minority investment in Elizabeth Arden Salon Holdings, LLC, an unrelated party whose subsidiaries operate the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas and the Mario Tricoci Hair Salons (“Salon Holdings”). The investment in Elizabeth Arden Salon Holdings, LLC is in the form of a collateralized convertible note bearing interest at 2%.

[Insert Date]







To the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below:







I, the undersigned chief financial officer of Revlon Consumer Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such facts and circumstances after the date hereof), that:







1.          This certificate is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.1(j) of the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2016, among the Borrower, Revlon, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), each of the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Citibank, N.A., as the administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacities, the “Administrative Agent” and the “Collateral Agent” respectively) (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.







2.          For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:








		(a)	“Fair Value”










The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.








		(b)	“Present Fair Salable Value”










The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.








		(c)	“Liabilities”










The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.








G-1
















		(d)	“Will be able to pay their Liabilities as they mature”










For the period from the date hereof through the Term Maturity Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their Liabilities as those Liabilities mature or (in the case of contingent Liabilities) otherwise become payable, in light of business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.








		(e)	“Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital”










The Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after consummation of the Transactions is a going concern and has sufficient capital to reasonably ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for the period from the date hereof through the Term Maturity Date.  I understand that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.







3.            For purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of the Borrower under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.







(a)          I have reviewed the financial statements (including the pro forma financial statements) referred to in Sections 5.1(n) and (o) of the Credit Agreement.







(b)          I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Agreement.







(c)          As chief financial officer of the Borrower, I am familiar with the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.







4.           Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower that after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, it is my opinion that (i) the Fair Value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceeds their Liabilities, (ii) the Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceeds their Liabilities; (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole do not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (iv) the Borrower and its  Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their Liabilities as they mature.

(a)  Acceleration.  Subject to any provisions of the Loan Documents providing for the automatic acceleration of the Indebtedness upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand or action of any nature whatsoever (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Mortgagor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable,  but only to the extent provided in the Term Loan Credit Agreement.







(b)  Entry on Mortgaged Property.  Enter the Mortgaged Property and take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto or located thereon.  If Mortgagor remains in possession of the Mortgaged Property following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, Mortgagee may invoke any legal remedies to dispossess Mortgagor.







(c)  Operation of Mortgaged Property.  Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as Mortgagee may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Mortgagee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.

With respect to any notices required or permitted under the UCC, Mortgagor agrees that ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable.  At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings, power of sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Mortgagor.  Mortgagee or any of the other Secured Parties may be a purchaser at such sale.  If Mortgagee or such other Secured Party is the highest bidder, Mortgagee or such other Secured Party may credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Mortgagee or such other Secured Party against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying cash.  In the event this Mortgage is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is waived.

(e)  Receiver.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred, Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to the value, adequacy or occupancy of the security for the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property and to collect all rents, income and other benefits thereof and apply the same as the court may direct and any such receiver shall be entitled to hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereof as would Mortgagee pursuant to Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c) above.  The expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Mortgage.  The right to enter and take possession of and to manage and operate the Mortgaged Property and to collect all rents, income and other benefits thereof, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof.  Mortgagee shall be liable to account only for such rents, income and other benefits actually received by Mortgagee, whether received pursuant to this Section or Sections 5.1(b) or 5.1(c).  Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Mortgagee shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits, or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Mortgage to, Mortgagee.







(f)  Other.  Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.







Section 5.2          Separate Sales.  The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect.  The right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Guaranty, Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Mortgagor or others obligated under the Loan Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee or such other Secured Party, as the case may be, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.  No action by Mortgagee or any other Secured Party in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.







Section 5.4          Release of and Resort to Collateral.  Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their priority with respect to the Mortgaged Property.  For payment of the Indebtedness, Mortgagee may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect.








6















Section 5.5          Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of any election by Mortgagee to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents, and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.







Section 5.6          Discontinuance of Proceedings.  If Mortgagee or any other Secured Party shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Mortgagee or such other Secured Party, as the case may be, shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor, Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness, the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Mortgagee or any other Secured Party thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.







Section 5.7          Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of, the Mortgaged Property in connection with Mortgagee’s exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 5.1 above shall be applied by Mortgagee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in accordance with Section 6.6 of the Guaranty unless otherwise required by applicable law.







Section 5.8          Occupancy After Foreclosure.  Any sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in accordance with Section 5.1(d) will divest all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to the property sold.  Subject to applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of the property purchased.  If Mortgagor retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Mortgagor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Mortgagor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.

(a)  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee and each of the other Secured Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor.  All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee or any other Secured Party under this Section 5.9, or otherwise under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the highest rate at which interest is then computed on any portion of the Indebtedness, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage.








7















(b)  Mortgagor shall pay all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Indebtedness or any claim under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, in each case to the extent required by Section 10.5 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.







Section 5.10          No Mortgagee in Possession.  Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article 5, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Article 6, the security interests under Article 7, nor any other remedies afforded to Mortgagee under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Mortgagee or any other Secured Party to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee or any other Secured Party to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.

Section 6.2          Perfection Upon Recordation.  Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has taken all actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases.  Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Mortgage Mortgagee’s interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, “choate” and enforced as to Mortgagor and to the extent permitted under applicable law, all third parties, including, without limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Mortgage, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.







Section 6.3          Bankruptcy Provisions.  Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree that (a) this Mortgage shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Mortgage extends to property of Mortgagor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.

Section 9.5          No Waiver.  Any failure by Mortgagee or the other Secured Parties to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same, and Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties shall have the right at any time to insist upon strict performance of all of such terms, provisions and conditions.








10















Section 9.6          Term Loan Credit Agreement.  If any conflict or inconsistency exists between this Mortgage and the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Credit Agreement shall control and govern to the extent of any such conflict or inconsistency.







Section 9.7          Release or Reconveyance.  (1) Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness and performance in full of the Obligations, and subject to the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, (2) upon the Mortgaged Property becoming subject to the release provisions set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement (including upon a sale or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property permitted by the Term Loan Credit Agreement), and/or (3) to the extent the Mortgaged Property is Excluded Collateral, then Mortgagee, at Mortgagor’s request and expense, shall release the liens and security interests created by this Mortgage or reconvey the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagor.







Section 9.8          Waiver of Stay, Moratorium and Similar Rights.  Mortgagor agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any way take advantage of any stay, marshalling of assets, extension, redemption or moratorium law now or hereafter in force and effect so as to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the provisions of this Mortgage or the Indebtedness or Obligations secured hereby, or any agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee or any rights or remedies of Mortgagee or any other Secured Party.







Section 9.9          Applicable Law.  The provisions of this Mortgage regarding the creation, perfection and enforcement of the liens and security interests herein granted shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located.  All other provisions of this Mortgage shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (including, without limitation, Section 5‐1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York) without regard for its conflicts of laws provisions.







Section 9.10        Headings.  The Article, Section and Subsection titles hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of such Articles, Sections or Subsections.







Section 9.11        Severability.  If any provision of this Mortgage shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be deemed severable from and shall in no way affect the enforceability and validity of the remaining provisions of this Mortgage.







Section 9.12        Entire Agreement.  This Mortgage and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Mortgagor and Mortgagee relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.  There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.







Section 9.13        Mortgagee as Agent; Successor Agents.







(a)  Agent has been appointed to act as Agent hereunder by the other Secured Parties.  Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of the Mortgaged Property) in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, any related agency agreement among Agent and the other Secured Parties (collectively, as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or replaced from time to time, the “Agency Documents”) and this Mortgage.  Mortgagor and all other Persons shall be entitled to rely on releases, waivers, consents, approvals, notifications and other acts of Agent, without inquiry into the existence of required consents or approvals of the Secured Parties therefor.








11















(b)  Mortgagee shall at all times be the same Person that is Agent under the Agency Documents.  Written notice of resignation by Agent pursuant to the Agency Documents shall also constitute notice of resignation as Agent under this Mortgage.  Removal of Agent pursuant to any provision of the Agency Documents shall also constitute removal as Agent under this Mortgage.  Appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to the Agency Documents shall also constitute appointment of a successor Agent under this Mortgage.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent under the Agency Documents, that successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent as the Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and the retiring or removed Agent shall promptly (i) assign and transfer to such successor Agent all of its right, title and interest in and to this Mortgage and the Mortgaged Property, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Agent such assignments and amendments and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Agent of the liens and security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Mortgage.  After any retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Mortgage and the Agency Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Mortgage while it was Agent hereunder.







Section 9.14          Subrogation.  If any or all of the proceeds of the Indebtedness are used to extinguish, extend or renew any indebtedness heretofore existing against the Mortgaged Property, then, to the extent of the funds so used, Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties shall be subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests existing against the Mortgaged Property heretofore held by, or in favor of, the holder of such indebtedness and such former rights, claims, liens, titles, and interests, if any, are not waived but rather are continued in full force and effect in favor of Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties and are merged with the lien and security interest created herein as cumulative security for the repayment of the Indebtedness and the performance of the Obligations.







Section 9.15          Waiver of Jury Trial.  MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE  ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED IN A BENCH TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.







Section 9.16          Counterparts.  This Mortgage is being executed in several counterparts, all of which are identical, except that to facilitate recordation, if the Mortgaged Property is situated offshore or in more than one county, descriptions of only those portions of the Mortgaged Property located in the county in which a particular counterpart is recorded shall be attached as Exhibit A thereto.  Each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
