			Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each of the Loan Parties, and this Amendment (and the Credit Agreement as modified hereby) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and each of the Loan Parties, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.
		

		
			(c)         No Conflicts, Etc.

			(e)           Accuracy of Representations; No Event of Default. After giving effect to this Amendment, (a) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth herein (including with respect to the recitals herein) and the Loan Documents that are qualified by materiality are true and correct, and the representations and warranties that are not so qualified shall be true and correct in all material respects, in each case on and as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Amendment, as applicable, with the same effect as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality shall be true and correct, and the representations and warranties that are not so qualified shall be true and correct in all material respects, as of such earlier date) and (b) as of the date hereof after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default exists.

			SECTION 6.    Reaffirmation and Confirmation.

Each of the Loan Parties hereby consents to this Amendment and acknowledges that each of the Loan Documents remains in full force and effect as amended hereby and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed.

			SECTION 2.01         Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        each Term Lender agrees to make Term Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars on the Closing Date from its U.S. Lending Office in a principal amount equal to its Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, until the Revolving Facility Maturity Date each Revolving Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make revolving loans to Borrower in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)         such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment, or
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)        such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the result of (x) the Maximum Revolver Amount less (y) the L/C Exposure at such time.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        The outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall constitute Obligations and shall be due and payable on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the date on which Revolving Facility

			Commitments with respect thereto have been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
		

		
			(d)        Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.01 notwithstanding, Revolving Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion, to establish and increase or decrease Reserves against the Borrowing Base. The amount of any Reserve established by Revolving Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition, other circumstance, or fact that is the basis for such Reserve and shall not be duplicative of any other reserve established and currently maintained.
		

		
			(e)        within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrow Revolving Loans.
		

		
			(f)         Each 2020 Term Lender agrees to make a 2020 Term Loan to the Borrower on the Third Amendment Effective Date in U.S. Dollars and in an amount equal to the amount of the 2020 Term Commitment of such 2020 Term Lender, which shall be drawn by the Borrower in a single drawing on the Third Amendment Effective Date. The 2020 Term Commitments shall terminate in full upon the making of the 2020 Term Loans on the Third Amendment Effective Date.
		

		
			SECTION 2.02         Loans and Borrowings.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class.
		

		
			(b)        Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of increased costs or taxes resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.
		

		
			(c)        At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. At the time that (i)  each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided, that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Revolving Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided, that there shall not at any time be more than a total of (i) five Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding under each Class of Term Loans and (ii) five Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

			(d)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date or other Maturity Date of any other Class of Loans, as applicable.
		

		
			(e)        If no election as to the Type of Borrowing or is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
		

		
			SECTION 2.03           Requests for Term Borrowings. To request a Term Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (as provided in Section 9.01) in writing by providing a Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than such time as the Administrative Agent and Lead Arrangers shall agree, (b) in the case of an ABR Term Loan Borrowing, not later than  such time as the Administrative Agent and Lead Arrangers shall agree. Each such written Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be provided by electronic mail or telecopy to the Administrative Agent. Each such written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
		

		
			(i)         the Class of such Borrowing;
		

		
			(ii)        the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
		

		
			(iii)       the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
		

		
			(iv)       whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;
		

		
			(v)        in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and
		

		
			(vi)       the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.
		

		
			(b)        Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Term Lender prior to 9:00 a.m. on the Closing Date that such Term Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Administrative Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Term Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, Administrative Agent may assume that each Term Lender has made or will make such amount available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on the Closing Date and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If, on the Closing Date, any Term Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that is required to make available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and if Administrative Agent has made available to Borrower such amount on the Closing Date, then such Term Lender shall make the amount of such Term Lender’s Term Loan Commitment available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s account, no later than 10:00 a.m. on

			the Business Day that is the first Business Day after the Closing Date. If any Term Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required to make available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds as and when required hereby and if Administrative Agent has made available to Borrower such amount, then that Term Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by Administrative Agent to any Term Lender  with  respect  to  amounts  owing  under  this  Section 2.03(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the amount that a Term Lender is required to remit is made available to Administrative Agent, then such payment to Administrative Agent shall constitute such Term Lender’s Term Loan for all purposes of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Each 2020 Term Lender will make the amount of its 2020 Term Loan Commitment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Third Amendment Effective Date in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of each 2020 Term Loan in full from each of the 2020 Term Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall then make the proceeds thereof available to the Borrower on the Third Amendment Effective Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by the Administrative Agent to the Designated Account.

			SECTION 2.04         Revolving Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Borrowing shall be made by a written Borrowing Request by an Authorized Person delivered to Administrative Agent and Revolving Agent and received by Administrative Agent and Revolving Agent no later than (i) 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is five (5) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date or (ii) if a Swingline Advance is available hereunder and requested, 10 a.m. on the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the amount of such Revolving Borrowing (which shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum), and, (ii) if such Revolving Borrowing is requested to be made as a Swingline Advance and (iii) the requested Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day); provided, that any Revolving Borrowing requested to be made five (5) or more Business Days after delivery of the Borrowing Request therefor shall not be deemed a request for a Swingline Advance. With respect to each request for a Revolving Borrowing requested to be made as a Swingline Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(a), each Revolving Lender agrees that Revolving Agent shall make such requested Revolving Borrowing to Borrower on behalf of the Revolving Lenders as a Swingline Advance so long as (x) the making of such Swingline Advance would not result in the aggregate amount of outstanding Swingline Advances exceeding $50,000,000 (the “Maximum Swingline Amount”) and (y) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01 shall be satisfied.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)       Making of Loans.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)        After receipt of a request for a Revolving Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.04(a), Revolving Agent at its option and in its discretion shall do either of the following:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(A)       if such Revolving Borrowing is requested to be made as a Swingline Advance, advance the amount of the requested Revolving Borrowing to Borrower disproportionately (a “Swingline Advance”) out of Revolving Agent’s own funds on behalf of Revolving Lenders, solely to the extent that the aggregate amount of outstanding Swingline Advances (after giving effect to any such Revolving Borrowing) does not exceed the Maximum Swingline Amount, which Swingline Advance shall be on the Funding Date specified in the relevant request for a Revolving Borrowing, and thereby elect Settlement in accordance with clause (d) below such that, upon such Settlement, each Lender’s share of the Revolving Loans (including the amount of any such Swingline Advance settled on such date) equals, at all times, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, all Swingline Advances constitute Revolving Loans hereunder. Revolving Agent shall make the proceeds of Swingline Advances available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds to the Designated Account. Each Swingline Advance shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of an amount to be agreed between the Borrower and Revolving Agent, and not less than an amount to be agreed between the Borrower and the Revolving Agent. Revolving Agent shall charge to the Revolving Loan Account usual and customary fees for the wire transfer of each Revolving Borrowing. All
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-89-

		








		

		
			Swingline Advances made under this Section 2.04(b)(i)(A) shall be subject to Settlement in accordance with Section 2.04(d) below; it being understood that all payments on any such Swingline Advances shall be payable solely to Revolving Agent until Settlement thereof shall have occurred; or
		

		
			 
		

		
			(B)       if such Revolving Borrowing is not requested to be made as a Swingline Advance and if Swingline Advances are not available, notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, email, or other electronic form of transmission, of the requested Revolving Borrowing. If Revolving Agent has notified the Revolving Lenders of a requested Revolving Borrowing five (5) Business Days prior to the Funding Date, then each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the requested Revolving Borrowing available to Revolving Agent in immediately available funds, to Revolving Agent’s Account, not later than 12.00 p.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date. After Revolving Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans from the Revolving Lenders, Revolving Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account; provided, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(c)(ii), no Revolving Lender shall have an obligation to make any Revolving Loan to the extent the requested Revolving Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Revolving Agent shall charge to the Revolving Loan Account usual and customary fees for the wire transfer of each Revolving Borrowing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)         Unless Revolving Agent receives notice from a Revolving Lender prior to 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date relative to a requested Revolving Borrowing as to which Revolving Agent has notified the Revolving Lenders of a requested Revolving Borrowing that such Revolving Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Revolving Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Borrowing, Revolving Agent may assume that each Revolving Lender has made or will make such amount available to Revolving Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Revolving Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If, on the requested Funding Date, any Revolving Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that it is required to make available to Revolving Agent in immediately available funds and if Revolving Agent has made available to Borrower such amount on the requested Funding Date, then such Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the requested Revolving Borrowing available to Revolving Agent in immediately available funds, to Revolving Agent’s Account, no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the first Business Day after the requested Funding Date (in which case, the interest accrued on such Revolving Lender’s portion of such Revolving Borrowing for the Funding Date shall be for Revolving Agent’s separate account). If any Revolving Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required to make available to Revolving Agent in immediately available funds as and when required hereby and if Revolving Agent has made available to Borrower such amount, then that Revolving Lender shall be obligated to
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-90-

		








		

		
			immediately remit such amount to Revolving Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by Revolving Agent to any Revolving Lender with respect to amounts owing  under  this  Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the amount that a Revolving Lender is required to remit is made available to Revolving Agent, then such payment to Revolving Agent shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Revolving Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Revolving Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Revolving Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Revolving Agent for Revolving Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans composing such Revolving Borrowing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)          Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)          Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.04(c)(iv), at any time (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV are not satisfied, Revolving Agent hereby is authorized by Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, from time to time, in Revolving Agent’s sole discretion, to make Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, Borrower, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, that Revolving Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (the Revolving Loans described in this Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Protective Advance shall be made which would cause the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances outstanding at any one time to exceed 10% of the Revolving Facility Aggregate Commitment unless the Majority Lenders of the Revolving Credit Facility otherwise agree.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)         Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.04(c)(iv), the Revolving Lenders hereby authorize Revolving Agent, and Revolving Agent may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Revolving Loans to Borrower notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as (A) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the outstanding Revolving Facility Exposure does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than 10% of the Revolving Facility Aggregate Commitment (unless the Majority Lenders of the Revolving Credit Facility agree to a higher amount), and (B) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the outstanding Revolving Facility Exposure does not exceed the Revolving Facility Aggregate Commitment. In the event Revolving Agent obtains actual knowledge that an Overadvance exists, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Revolving Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable and the Lenders with Revolving Facility Commitments thereupon shall, together with Revolving Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrower intended to eliminate the Overadvance within thirty (30) days. In such circumstances, if any Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-91-

		








		

		
			determination of the Majority Lenders of the Revolving Credit Facility. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders and Revolving Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrower. Each Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment shall be obligated to make Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(b) in, or settle Overadvances made by Revolving Agent with Revolving Agent as provided in Section 2.04(d) (or Section 2.23, as applicable) for, the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any unintentional Overadvances by Revolving Agent reported to such Revolving Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.04(c)(ii), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Revolving Loan Account of interest, fees, or expenses of the Revolving Agent.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)        Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance (each, an “Extraordinary Advance”) shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder. Prior to Settlement with respect to Extraordinary Advances, all payments on the Extraordinary Advances made by Revolving Agent, including interest thereon, shall be payable to Revolving Agent solely for its own account. The Extraordinary Advances shall be repayable on demand, be secured by the Liens of the Collateral Agent, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans. The provisions of this Section 2.04(c) are for the exclusive benefit of Revolving Agent and the Revolving Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrower (or any other Loan Party) in any way.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iv)        Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary: (A) no Extraordinary Advance may be made by Revolving Agent if such Extraordinary Advance would cause the aggregate principal amount of Extraordinary Advances outstanding to exceed an amount equal to 10% or more of the Revolving Facility Aggregate Commitment; and (B) to the extent that the making of any Extraordinary Advance causes the aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure to exceed the Revolving Facility Aggregate Commitment, such portion of such Extraordinary Advance shall be for Revolving Agent’s sole and separate account and not for the account of any Revolving Lender and shall be entitled to priority in repayment in accordance with the Agreement Among Lenders.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)          Settlement. It is agreed that each Revolving Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the Revolving Lenders to equal, at all times, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, Revolving Agent and the Revolving Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Revolving Lenders as to the Revolving Loans (including the Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)          Revolving Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Revolving Lenders on a weekly basis (or, on a more or less frequent basis if so determined by Revolving Agent in its reasonable discretion but not less frequently than once per month) (A) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances, and (B) with respect to Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ payments or other amounts received, as to each by notifying the Revolving Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-92-

		








		

		
			transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.23): (1) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Revolving Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Revolving Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a deposit account of such Revolving Lender (as such Revolving Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Revolving Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances), and (2) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Revolving Lender is less than such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Revolving Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to Revolving Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Revolving Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swingline Advances or Extraordinary Advances and shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Revolving Agent by any Revolving Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Revolving Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)         In determining whether a Revolving Lender’s balance of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) is less than, equal to, or greater than such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, Revolving Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Revolving Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Revolving Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)        Between Settlement Dates, Revolving Agent, to the extent Swingline Advances or Extraordinary Advances for the account of Revolving Agent are outstanding, may apply any payments or other amounts received by Revolving Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, to the Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Revolving Agent with respect to Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances, and each Revolving Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-93-

		








		

		
			this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Revolving Agent, or the Revolving Lenders, as applicable.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iv)        Anything in this Section 2.04(d) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Revolving Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.23. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby acknowledges that its obligation to provide Settlement pursuant to this Section 2.04(d) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or the reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. The Settlement provisions set forth in this Section 2.04(d) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)          Notation. Revolving Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender, and Swingline Advances and/or Extraordinary Advances owing to Revolving Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, be presumed to be correct and accurate. In the event of any conflict between the entries made in the register maintained by the Revolving Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(e) and entries made in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii), the entries made in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent shall govern and control absent manifest error.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(f)          Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility by Revolving Agent shall not be required to be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to Revolving Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Revolving Agent only if it is received into Revolving Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 1:30 p.m. If any payment item is received into Revolving Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 1:30 p.m. on a Business Day (unless Revolving Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received), it shall be deemed to have been received by Revolving Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(g)          Designated Account. Revolving Agent is authorized to make the Revolving Loans, and each Issuing Bank is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person. Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Revolving Loans requested by Borrower and made by Revolving Agent or the Revolving Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Revolving Agent and
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-94-

		








		

		
			Borrower, any Revolving Loan requested by Borrower and made by Revolving Agent or the Revolving Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(h)          Maintenance of Revolving Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Revolving Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Revolving Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Advances and Extraordinary Advances) made by Revolving Agent or the Revolving Lenders to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, the Letters of Credit issued or arranged by each Issuing Bank for Borrower’s account, and with all other payment Obligations on account of the Revolving Credit Facility hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest and fees on account thereof. In accordance with Section 2.04(f), the Revolving Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Revolving Agent from Borrower or for Borrower’s account in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. Revolving Agent shall make available to Borrower monthly statements regarding the Revolving Loan Account, including the principal amount of the Revolving Loans and interest and fees accrued with respect thereto, and each such statement, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate unless, within 30 days after Revolving Agent first makes such a statement available to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Revolving Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in such statement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			SECTION 2.05         Letters of Credit.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        L/C Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, until the Revolving Facility Maturity Date (the “L/C Facility Termination Date”), the Revolving Lenders shall provide to Borrower a portion of the Revolving Facility Commitment in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000 (the “L/C Sublimit”) for the issuance of Letters of Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, HPS shall not be required to act as an Issuing Bank or be to Issue Letters of Credit unless agreed to in writing in its sole discretion.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        [Reserved].
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Advances of the L/C Facility. Until the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the L/C Facility Termination Date, Borrower may request the Revolving Agent to issue or cause to be issued under the Revolving Credit Facility one or more Letters of Credit for its own account in such form as is acceptable to Revolving Agent and the Issuing Bank (if not Revolving Agent) in the Issuing Bank’s or Revolving Agent’s reasonable discretion, respectively. Each Letter of Credit shall constitute a utilization of the Revolving Facility Commitment in an amount equal to the L/C Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit. Without the prior written consent of Revolving Agent, in no event shall Borrower make any request for, or Revolving Agent recognize any request by Borrower for, the issuance of any Letter of Credit after the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the L/C Facility Termination Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)        Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit; Amendment; Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit Borrower shall deliver to Revolving Agent a notice requesting for issuance of a Letter of Credit or requesting the amendment, renewal or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, identifying
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-95-

		








		

		
			the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, if applicable, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (in compliance with paragraph (e), below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit as applicable. Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit or any request to amend, renew or extend a Letter of Credit, and copies of all invoices, purchase orders and shipping documents relating to the Inventory to be covered by such Letter of Credit as Revolving Agent and the Issuing Bank may request. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by Borrower to, or entered into by Borrower with, the Issuing  Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)        Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit shall not exceed $25,000,000, (ii) the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit would not cause the aggregate amount of L/C Exposures under the L/C Facility to exceed the L/C Sublimit, and (C) the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit would not cause Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(f)         Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (A) the date which is twelve (12) months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any amendment, renewal or extension thereof, twelve (12) months after the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit, so long as such amendment, renewal or extension occurs within three (3) months of such then-current expiration date), and (B) the L/C Facility Termination Date, unless such Letter of Credit shall have been fully Cash Collateralized on or prior to the L/C Facility Termination Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(g)        Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank and/or Revolving Agent in respect of such L/C Disbursement as directed by the Issuing Bank and Revolving Agent in a joint written instruction, by paying to the Issuing Bank and/or Revolving Agent, as so directed, an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 1:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on (A) the Business Day that Borrower receives notice of such L/C Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time; provided that, Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth in this Agreement, request in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement that such payment be financed with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, Borrower’s obligation to make such payment in connection with an L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing. Each such request for a Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of Section 2.04. With
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-96-

		








		

		
			respect to any amount advanced by Revolving Agent and/or any Revolving Lenders and required to be reimbursed by Borrower pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (g), Borrower agrees that Revolving Agent may charge any such amount to the Revolving Loan Account on the dates such reimbursement is made.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(h)        Promptly following receipt of a notice of a L/C Disbursement, each Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Applicable Percentage of any Borrowing deemed made pursuant to paragraph (g) above, on the same terms and conditions as if Borrower, on behalf of the other Loan Parties, had requested the amount thereof as a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.04 and Revolving Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of such Letter of Credit, and each such Revolving Lender agrees to pay to Revolving Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any L/C Disbursement made by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Revolving Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Revolving Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Applicable Percentage of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Article IV. If any such Revolving Lender fails to make available to Revolving Agent the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of a L/C Disbursement as provided  in this Section 2.05, then Revolving Agent (for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)         Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) each Lender and each Issuing Bank (including the branches, Affiliates, and correspondents of each Issuing Bank) and each other Indemnitee (each, including Issuing Bank, a “Letter of Credit Related Person”) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification, which may be incurred by or awarded against any such Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.17, unless such Taxes are imposed pursuant to a non-Tax claim on amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.05) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of:
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-97-

		








		

		
			(i)         any Letter of Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)        any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any such Letter of Credit Related Person in connection with any Letter of Credit;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)       any action or proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any Letter of Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of, or honoring a presentation under, any Letter of Credit;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iv)       any independent undertakings issued by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(v)        any unauthorized instruction or request made to Issuing Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit or error in computer or electronic transmission;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(vi)       an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(vii)      any third party seeking to enforce the rights of an applicant, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of Letter of Credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(viii)     the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the Letter of Credit Related Person;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ix)       Issuing Bank’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation; or
		

		
			 
		

		
			(x)        the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental or regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Related Person;
		

		
			 
		

		
			in each case, including that resulting from the Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence; provided,  however, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification under clauses (i) through (x) above to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs (x) are determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity, (y) result from a material breach by such Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification at a time when the Borrower has not breached its obligations under the Loan Documents or (z) result from a dispute solely among Letter of Credit Related Persons. Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity on demand from time to time all amounts owing under this Section 2.05(i). If and to the extent that the obligations of Borrower under this Section
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-98-

		








		

		
			2.05(i) are unenforceable for any reason, Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs permissible under applicable law. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(j)         The liability of Issuing Bank (or any other Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by Borrower that are caused directly by Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower’s aggregate remedies against Issuing Bank and any Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by Borrower to Issuing Bank in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under Section 2.05(h), plus interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans hereunder. Borrower shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Issuing Bank or any other Letter of Credit Related Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. Any claim by Borrower under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by Borrower as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of; and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had Borrower taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing Issuing Bank to effect a cure.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(k)        Borrower is responsible for preparing or approving the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrower. Borrower is solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrower’s purposes. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if Borrower does not at any time want such Letter of Credit to be renewed, Borrower will so notify Revolving Agent and Issuing Bank at least 15 calendar days before Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(l)         Borrower’s reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 2.05  are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)         any lack of validity, enforceability or legal effect of any Letter of

			Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)        payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document that does not comply in whole or in part with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit or which proves to be fraudulent, forged or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)       Issuing Bank or any of its branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iv)       Issuing Bank or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Letter of Credit;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(v)        the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, Issuing Bank or any other Person;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(vi)       any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 2.05(l), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, Borrower’s reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit, whether against Issuing Bank, the beneficiary or any other Person; or
		

		
			 
		

		
			(vii)      the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
		

		
			 
		

		
			provided,  however, that subject to Section 2.05(j) above, the foregoing shall not release Issuing Bank from such liability to Borrower as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against Issuing Bank following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of Borrower to Issuing Bank arising under, or in connection with, this Section 2.05 or any Letter of Credit.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(m)       Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Issuing Bank and each other Letter of Credit Related Person (if applicable) shall not be responsible to Borrower for, and Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against Borrower and the obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall not be impaired by:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)         honor of a presentation under any Letter of Credit that on its face substantially complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, even if the Letter of Credit requires strict compliance by the beneficiary;

			(iii)       acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or request for payment under a Letter of Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft or notwithstanding any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iv)       the identity or authority of any presenter or signer of any Drawing Document or the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Drawing Document (other than Issuing Bank’s determination that such Drawing Document appears on its face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit);
		

		
			 
		

		
			(v)        acting upon any instruction or request relative to a Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit that Issuing Bank in good faith believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction or request;

			(vii)      any acts, omissions or fraud by, or the insolvency of, any beneficiary, any nominated person or entity or any other Person or any breach of contract between the beneficiary and Borrower or any of the parties to the underlying transaction to which the Letter of Credit relates;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(viii)     assertion or waiver of any provision of the ISP or UCP that primarily benefits an issuer of a letter of credit, including any requirement that any Drawing Document be presented to it at a particular hour or place;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ix)       payment to any paying or negotiating bank (designated or permitted by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored or is entitled to reimbursement or indemnity under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to it;

			(xi)       honor of a presentation after the expiration date of any Letter of Credit notwithstanding that a presentation was made prior to such expiration date and dishonored by Issuing Bank if subsequently Issuing Bank or any court or other finder of fact determines such presentation should have been honored;
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-101-

		








		

		
			(xii)      dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply or that is fraudulent, forged or otherwise not entitled to honor; or
		

		
			 
		

		
			(xiii)     honor of a presentation that is subsequently determined by Issuing Bank to have been made in violation of international, federal, state or local restrictions on the transaction of business with certain prohibited Persons.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(n)        Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Issuing Bank and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP and the UCP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.
		

		
			 
		

		
			SECTION 2.06         Collections.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)          The Loan Parties shall establish and maintain cash management services of a type, number, number with a financial institution and on terms, in each case, reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Agent including the concentration accounts described below (each such deposit account, a “Collection Account” and, collectively, the “Collection Accounts”). Each Loan Party shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that, net cash proceeds in excess of Minimum Retained Amounts received from payments by (i) Securitization Providers and Credit Support Providers in respect of the purchase of Receivables from Loan Parties and (ii) Account Debtors that are not paid directly in to a Collection Account of a Loan Party shall be deposited promptly (and in no event later than the third Business Day after the date of receipt thereof) into a Collection Account of a Loan Party subject to a Control Agreement which provides the Collateral Agent with springing “control” over such account (each, a “Controlled Account”).
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)          Each Control Agreement shall provide, that following written notice from Revolving Agent to the applicable bank or securities intermediary after the occurrence of a Cash Dominion Event the applicable bank or securities intermediary will forward, by daily sweep, all amounts in such account to the Revolving Agent’s Account, provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of a Cash Dominion Event, unless an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(b), 7.01(c), 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) is continuing or Excess Availability is less than $5,000,000, the Revolving Agent shall direct the applicable bank or securities intermediary to forward, by daily sweep, only amounts in excess of $30,000,000 (across all such accounts in the aggregate) to the Revolving Agent’s Account. To the extent a Cash Dominion Period terminates in accordance with clause (ii) of the definition thereof, Revolving Agent shall work in good faith with the applicable bank or securities intermediary to restore springing control as promptly as possible.

			SECTION 2.07  Interest  Elections.  (a)   Each  Borrowing  initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.

			a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans resulting from an election made with respect to any such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. For the avoidance of doubt, a Swingline Advance that has not been converted to Revolving Loans (other than a Swingline Advance) may not be converted or continued.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (as provided in Section 9.01) in writing (in a form as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) (which may be by electronic mail or telecopy), in the case of an election that would result in a Borrowing, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Borrower shall not be permitted to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (iii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.
		

		
			(c)        Each written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
		

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

		
			(ii)        the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
		

		
			(iii)       whether the resulting outstanding credit extension is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and
		

		
			(iv)       if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”
		

		
			If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
		

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

			(e)        If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing of Loans, may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing of Loans shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing of the applicable Class at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
		

		
			SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated the Revolving Facility Commitment shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and,  (ii) the Term Loan Commitments (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the 2020 Term Commitments) shall terminate on the Closing Date (immediately after the incurrence of the Term Loans on such date) and (iii) the 2020 Term Commitments shall terminate on the Third Amendment Effective Date (immediately after the incurrence of the 2020 Term Loans on such date).
		

		
			(b)        The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Facility Commitments; provided, that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments), (ii) such reduction shall be without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16 and except for the Prepayment Fee payable pursuant to Sections 2.12(e)) and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments to an amount that would be less than the sum of (A) the Revolving Facility Exposure as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to which a request has been given by Borrower under Section 2.04(a), plus (C) the amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been given by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05;  provided further that, the Borrower may terminate the unused Revolving Facility Commitments of any Defaulting Lender at any time, or from time to time, in any amounts and without a pro rata reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments of the other Lenders.
		

		
			(c)        The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which may be by electronic mail or telecopy) of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Agent, who in turn shall advise the applicable Revolving Lenders, of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of an event or other financing, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent and Revolving Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such

			condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
		

		
			SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan and each L/C Disbursement of such Lender on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each 2018 Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each 2018 Term Loan of such 2018 Term Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and,  (iii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each 2020 Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each 2020 Term Loan of such 2020 Term Lender on the 2020 Term Loan Maturity Date and (iv) to the Revolving Agent, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Advance on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date.
		

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

		
			(c)        The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
		

		
			(d)        The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence, currencies and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in the event of any conflict between the entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.09(b) and the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.09(c), the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.09(c) shall govern and control absent manifest error.
		

		
			(e)        Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (with respect to Term Loans) or the Revolving Agent (with respect to Revolving Loans) and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.

Not later than five Business Days after the date on which the Borrower is required to deliver financial statements with respect to the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period under Section 5.04(a), the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth the amount, if any, of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, the amount of any required prepayment and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail.
		

		
			(d)        In the event and on such occasion that the total Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds the lesser of (x) the total Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit Cash Collateral in an account with the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 2.22) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

			“Retained Declined Amounts”). If a Lender fails to deliver a notice of election declining receipt of its Applicable Percentage of such mandatory prepayment to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified by the Administrative any such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.
		

		
			(f)         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11, the application of all payments and prepayments of Loans shall be subject to the Agreement Among Lenders.

			(f)         Field Examination and Other Fees. Borrower shall pay to Revolving Agent $12,500 per month in addition to third party field examination, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges as and when incurred or chargeable; provided, that for so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse Revolving Agent for more than (i) two (2) Field Exams and Inventory Appraisals in any twelve month period; provided that any additional Field Exams or Inventory Appraisals required by Revolving Agent in any given twelve month period shall be performed at the expense of Revolving Agent; and, provided,  further, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Revolving Agent may conduct additional Field Exams and Inventory Appraisals at Borrower’s expense. For the avoidance of doubt, the reimbursement limitations set forth in this clause (f) shall not apply to Field Exams and Inventory Appraisals conducted in connection with a Permitted Business Acquisition (provided that unless agreed otherwise with the Borrower, there shall not be more than one such exam per Permitted Business Acquisition).
		

		
			(g)        All Fees and expenses shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or with respect to clause (f), to the Revolving Agent), for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the applicable Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
		

		
			(h)        The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, a one-time amendment fee (the “Second

			Amendment Fee”) in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (i) 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding plus (ii) 1.00% of the Revolving Facility Aggregate Commitments in effect, in each case, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date. The Second Amendment Fee shall be allocated to the Lenders in accordance with their relative pro rata shares of the Credit Facilities as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, which amount shall, be earned, due and payable on May 15, 2020 and increase the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans and Revolving Loans, as applicable, as of May 15, 2020 and shall be deemed to be part of the Term Loans and Revolving Loans, as applicable, for all purposes (including with respect to any Prepayment Fee payable pursuant to Section 2.12(e)) and continue to accrue interest as provided for herein.
		

		
			SECTION 2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Advance) shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.
		

		
			(b)        The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
		

		
			(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default exists or is continuing, then all such amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (A) in the case of principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (B) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the interest rate that would have applied had such amount, during the period of non-payment, constituted an ABR Loan; provided, that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.09.
		

		
			(d)        Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears and (other than any PIK Interest) in cash (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans, upon the earlier of the termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments and the applicable Maturity Date and (iii) in the case of the Term Loans, on the Maturity Date with respect thereto; provided, that (A) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section  shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (C) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion; provided,  further, that PIK Interest shall be capitalized with, added to, and shall be deemed to be part of the 2018 Term Loans for all purposes (including with respect to any Prepayment Fee payable pursuant to Section 2.12(e))  and the principal amount of the 2018 Term Loans shall thereafter be treated as having been increased by the amounts of interest capitalized, such increased principal to be allocated ratably to the principal amounts of the Loans and Borrowings held by each Lender in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loans and Borrowings of the Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, such PIK Interest shall be compounded on each Interest Payment Date.

			(e)        All computations of interest for ABR Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations  of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365- day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.18(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
		

		
			SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency, on any day:
		

		
			(a)        the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining any applicable Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such currency for such Interest Period for such day; or
		

		
			(b)        the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that any applicable Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such currency for such Interest Period for such day will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing, for such Interest Period or such day;
		

		
			then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by electronic mail or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
		

		
			If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) above have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) above have not arisen but the supervisor for administrator of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavour to establish an alternate rate of interest to LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the U.S. at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction in the Applicable

			Margin). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.09, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. From and after the making of a determination described in this paragraph until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (but in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii), only to the extent LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing for the applicable Interest Period shall be ineffective.
		

		
			 
		

		
			SECTION 2.15         Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)         impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) or any Issuing Bank;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)        subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)       impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
		

		
			 
		

		
			and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or

			such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
		

		
			(c)        A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower (attaching reasonable supporting back-up evidence with respect to such calculations) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
		

		
			(d)        Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided,  further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
		

		
			SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by  the  Borrower  pursuant  to  Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency

			market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section (together with reasonable supporting backup calculations) in respect thereof shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			SECTION 2.17         Taxes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
		

		
			(b)        Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
		

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

		
			(d)        Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17(d)) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
		

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

		
			(f)         Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and Revolving Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-116-

		








		

		
			Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, 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 9.04(c) 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 or Revolving Agent, as applicable 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 or Revolving Agent, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, 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 or Revolving Agent, as applicable, to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, under this Section 2.17(f).
		

		
			(g)        Status of Lenders and Agents.
		

		
			(i)         Each Lender and Agent, that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender and Agent, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Agent is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(g)(ii)(A),  (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if, in the reasonable judgment of (as applicable) the Lender or Agent (if the applicable Agent is the Administrative Agent and is providing the documentation on its own behalf to the Borrower), such completion, execution or submission would subject such Person to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Person.
		

		
			(ii)        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
		

		
			(A)       each Lender and Agent, that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Person becomes a party to this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or

			(B)       each Foreign Lender and each Agent that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Agent”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Person becomes a party to this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
		

		
			(1)        in the case of a Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
		

		
			(2)        executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
		

		
			(3)        in the case of a Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN- E; or
		

		
			(4)        to the extent a Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender of Foreign Agent may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

			(C)       each Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent becomes a party to this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of 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; and
		

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

		
			Each Lender and each Agent agree that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, the Lender or the Agent (as applicable) shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
		

		
			(h)        Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

			paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
		

		
			(i)         Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive  the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
		

		
			SECTION 2.18      Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing   of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified herein, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15,  2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15,  2.16,  2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Unless otherwise specified herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in the currency of such Loan; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.
		

		
			(b)        If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C

			Disbursements, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Swingline Advances and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due to such parties, and (iii) third, towards payment of principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
		

		
			(c)        If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans of a given Tranche, Revolving Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and accrued interest thereon under any Tranche than the proportion received by any other Lender under such Tranche, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of other Lenders under such Tranche to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders under such Tranche ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans, Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements under such Tranche; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii)  the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.11(e) or the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.22, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
		

		
			(d)        Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (A) (1) in the case of Loans, the Federal Funds

			Effective Rate, (2) in the case of any other amounts denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (3) in the case of any other amount denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
		

		
			(e)        If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
		

		
			(f)         The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.05(d) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.05(d) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.05(d).
		

		
			SECTION 2.19         Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a)  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees  to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
		

		
			(b)        If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require any such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may  be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Loan, the Revolving Agent and the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C

			Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 9.04, and (v) such assignment does not conflict with any applicable laws. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed  to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.
		

		
			(c)        If any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 9.09 requires the consent of all the Lenders affected or each Lender and with respect to which the Required Lenders (as may be required by Section 9.09 in any given case) shall have granted their consent (any such Lender referred to above, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then so long as no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to (x) replace any such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Loan, the Revolving Agent and Issuing Bank) or (ii) require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign all of its Term Loans hereunder or all of its Revolving Facility Commitments or Revolving Loans hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment or Revolving Loan, Revolving Agent and the Issuing Bank); provided, that (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced, including obligations arising under Section 2.16 as a result of such replacement, and/or all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender in respect of any Loans required to be assigned shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment (including all fees payable to such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Sections 2.12(b) and (e)), and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04.
		

		
			SECTION 2.20         [Reserved].
		

		
			SECTION 2.21  Illegality.  If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such

			determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
		

		
			SECTION 2.22         Cash Collateral.
		

		
			(a)        Certain Credit Support Events. Following the request of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent or any Issuing Bank if, as of the L/C Facility Termination Date, any L/C Exposure for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately following demand Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all L/C Exposure.
		

		
			(b)        Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral required to be deposited pursuant to clause (a) above (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at a bank to be reasonably agreed between the Revolving Agent, Collateral Agent and the Borrower. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash,  deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.22(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any person other than the Collateral Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, then (i) the Borrower (solely to the extent that the applicable Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower), or (ii) the relevant Defaulting Lender (solely to the extent that the applicable Cash Collateral was provided by such Defaulting Lender) will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
		

		
			(c)        Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.22 or Sections 2.04,  2.05,  2.11(d),  2.23 or 7.01 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
		

		
			(d)        Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as

			appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 9.04(b)(ii))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided,  however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.22 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 7.01), and (y) the person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
		

		
			SECTION 2.23         Defaulting Lenders.
		

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

		
			(i)         Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.09.
		

		
			(ii)        Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Revolving Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Revolving Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Revolving Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the

			conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
		

		
			(iii)       Certain Fees. The Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.12(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
		

		
			(iv)       Letter of Credit Provisions. If any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
		

		
			(A)       Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by Revolving Agent Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above), pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Revolving Agent, for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding; provided, that Borrower shall not be obligated to Cash Collateralize any Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure if such Defaulting Lender is also the Issuing Bank;
		

		
			(B)       if Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.23(a)(iv), Borrower shall not be required to pay any L/C Participation Fees to Revolving Agent pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Cash Collateralized portion theL/C Exposure during the period such L/C Exposure is Cash Collateralized;
		

		
			(C)       [reserved];
		

		
			(D)       to the extent any Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is not Cash Collateralized, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all L/C Participation Fees that would have otherwise been payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such portion of such L/C Exposure shall instead be payable to the Issuing Bank until such portion of the L/C Exposure is Cash Collateralized or reallocated;
		

		
			(E)       so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, or increase any Letter of Credit to the extent the Issuing Bank has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank and Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit; and

			(F)        Revolving Agent may release any cash collateral provided by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23(a)(v) to the Issuing Bank and the Issuing Bank may apply any such cash collateral to the payment of such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any L/C Disbursement that is not reimbursed by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05.
		

		
			(b)        Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent, and the Issuing Bank agree in writing in their reasonable discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the 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.

			SECTION 5.02     Insurance.  (a)  Keep its insurable properties insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers in such amounts as shall be customary for similar businesses of a similar size owning similar properties in the same localities where the Borrower and its Subsidiaries operate and maintain such reasonable insurance (including, to the extent consistent with past practices or industry practices for Similar Businesses, self-insurance), of such types, to such extent and against such risks, as is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses, taking into account the general degree to which such companies are leveraged, and maintain such other insurance as may be required by law or any other Loan Document.
		

		
			(b)        Cause all such property and property casualty insurance policies to be endorsed or otherwise amended to include appropriate loss payable endorsements, including, with respect to Mortgaged Properties, a “standard” or “New York” lender’s loss payable endorsement, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which endorsement shall provide that, from and after the Closing Date, if the insurance carrier shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the insurance carrier shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties under such policies directly to the Collateral Agent; cause all such policies to provide that none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other party shall be a coinsurer thereunder and to contain a “Replacement Cost Endorsement,” without any deduction for depreciation, and such other provisions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably (in light of a Default or a material development in respect of the insured property) require from time to time to protect their interests; deliver original or certified copies of all such policies or a certificate of an insurance broker to the Administrative Agent; cause each such policy to provide that it shall not be canceled, lapsed (including for nonrenewal) or terminated upon advance notice, to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, not less than   30 days’ prior written notice (or 10 days’ prior written notice in the case of any failure to pay any premium due thereunder) thereof by the insurer to the Administrative Agent; deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to the cancellation, lapse (including for nonrenewal) or termination of any such policy of insurance, a copy of a renewal or replacement policy (or other evidence of renewal of a policy previously delivered to the Administrative Agent), or insurance certificate with respect thereto, together with evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of payment of the premium therefor.

			(c)        Notify the Administrative Agent promptly after any separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained under this Section 5.02 is taken out by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries; and promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a duplicate original copy of such policy or policies, or an insurance certificate with respect thereto.
		

		
			(d)        In connection with the covenants set forth in this Section 5.02, it is understood and agreed that:
		

		
			(i)         none of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and their respective agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required  to  be  maintained  under  this  Section 5.02, it being understood that (A) the Loan Parties shall look solely to their insurance companies or any other parties other than the aforesaid parties for the recovery of such loss or damage and (B) such insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation against the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or their agents or employees. If, however, the insurance policies, as a matter of the internal policy of such insurer, do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then the Borrower, on behalf of itself and behalf of each of its subsidiaries, hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to waive, and further agrees to cause each of their Subsidiaries to waive, its right of recovery after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any, against the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank and their agents and employees; and
		

		
			(ii)        the designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.02 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or the protection of their properties.
		

		
			SECTION 5.03 Taxes. Pay and discharge promptly when due all material Taxes imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property, before the same shall become delinquent or in default, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies or otherwise that, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien upon such properties or any part thereof; provided,  however, that such payment and discharge shall not be required with respect to any such Tax or claim so long as (a) the validity or amount thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) the Borrower or the affected Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP with respect thereto, and (c) the failure to make such payment and discharge would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or Majority Lenders of the Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s, Revolving Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent, Revolving Agent and/or Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent.

			SECTION 8.09 Administrative Agent 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, the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Borrowing shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise
		

		
			(a)        to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letters of Credit 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 Banks, the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
		

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

		
			and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Banks to make such payments to the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, and, in the event that the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, under Sections 2.12 and 9.05.
		

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

			(b)        The Lenders and the Issuing Banks irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, at its option and in its discretion, to release (and deliver evidence of such release) any guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement and the other Security Documents upon Payment in Full or if person ceases to be a Loan Party as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (as the context may require).
		

		
			(c)        Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under any of the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

			-194-

		








		

		
			such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent or Revolving Agent, as applicable, under this Section 8.11.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement or instrument 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 Section 9.04(a)(i) or clause (i),  (ii),  (iii),  (iv),  (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.09(b) and (2) directly and adversely affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant.
		

		
			(ii)     The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits  of Sections 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(g) 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; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.16 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by  law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for  this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). 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

			(vii)      in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, the interest of any Affiliated Lender in any Term Loan will be deemed to be voted in the same proportion as the vote of Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders on the relevant matter; provided that each Affiliated Lender will be entitled to vote its interest in any Term Loan to the extent that any plan of reorganization or other arrangement with respect to which the relevant vote is sought proposes to treat the interest of such Affiliated Lender in such Term Loan in a manner that is less favorable to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of Term Loans held by other Term Lenders; and

In the event of any such resignation as an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank hereunder (subject to such Lender’s consent); provided,  however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Issuing Bank. If such Issuing Bank resigns, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Bank and all unreimbursed L/C Disbursements with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 2.05.

			(i)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.09, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Required Lenders, in order to (i) increase the interest rate or yield applicable to the Credit Facilities, including by increasing the Applicable Margin or similar component of the interest rate, by modifying the method of computing interest applicable to the Credit Facilities (including by creating any new interest rate “floors”) or paying additional upfront fees, consent fees or original issue discount on or with respect to the Credit Facilities and (ii) increase a letter of credit, unused commitment, facility or utilization fee or other fees having similar effect under the Credit Facilities.
		

		
			SECTION 9.10  Interest Rate Limitation.   Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable Requirements of Law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence)  under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.
