Section 1.07 LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on the Loans is determined by reference to  the Adjusted LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.  The London interbank  offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings  from each other in the London interbank market.  In July 2017, the U.K.  Financial Conduct Authority (the  “FCA”) announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks  to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE  Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate.   On March 5, 2021 the FCA, the regulatory supervisor of IBA, announced in a public statement the future  cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month  tenor settings of the Dollar London interbank reference rate (“USD LIBOR”) as of July 30, 2023.  As a  result, it is possible that commencing July 30, 2023, the USD LIBOR for such tenors may no longer be  available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest  rate on the Loans.  In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently  underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of USD LIBOR.  In the event  





 






  39  that USD LIBOR is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.17 of this  Agreement, such Section 2.17 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The  Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.17, in advance of any change to the  reference rate upon Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate.  However, the Administrative Agent  does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the  administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates  in the definition of “Adjusted LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or  replacement rate therefor or thereof, including, without limitation, whether the composition or  characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be  adjusted pursuant to Section 2.17, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence  of, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate  prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.  Section 1.08 Cashless Roll.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this  Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with  any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this  Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative  Agent and such Lender, and any such exchange, continuation or rollover shall be deemed to comply with  any requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document that any payment be made “in Dollars”, “in  immediately available funds”, “in cash” or any other similar requirements.  Section 1.09 Luxembourg Terms.  In the Loan Documents, a reference to (a) a liquidator, trustee  in bankruptcy, judicial custodian, compulsory manager, receiver, administrator receiver, administrator,   sequestrator or similar officer includes (i) any juge-commissaire or insolvency receiver (curateur)  appointed under the Luxembourg Commercial Code, (ii) any liquidateur appointed under Articles 1100-1  to 1100-15 (inclusive) of the Luxembourg Companies Act, (iii) any juge-commissaire or liquidateur  appointed under Article 1200-1 of the Luxembourg Companies Act, (iv) any commissaire appointed under  the Grand-Ducal decree of 24 May 1935 on the controlled management regime or under Articles 593 to  614 (inclusive) of the Luxembourg Commercial Code and (v) any juge délégué appointed under the  Luxembourg act of 14 April 1886 on the composition to avoid bankruptcy, as amended; (b) a winding-up,  administration or dissolution includes, without limitation, bankruptcy (faillite), voluntary or judicial  liquidation (liquidation volontaire ou judiciaire), composition with creditors (concordat préventif de  faillite), moratorium or reprieve from payment (sursis de paiement) and controlled management (gestion  contrôlée) or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally; (c) a Person being unable to pay its  debts includes that Person being in a state of cessation of payments (cessation de paiements), (d)  constitutional documents includes the coordinated articles of association (statuts coordonnés), (e)  a director  includes an administrateur.  ARTICLE II  THE LOANS  Section 2.01 Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender  agrees to make a Loan during the Availability Period to the Borrower to such account of the Borrower as  the Borrower may direct from such Lender’s applicable Lending Office in an aggregate principal amount  requested by the Borrower which shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment.  Amounts borrowed under  Section 2.01 that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed.   Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.  The Loans shall be made as part of a single Borrowing by  the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments.  The failure of any Lender to make  any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided  





 






  40  that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s  failure to make Loans as required.    Section 2.03 Reserved.  Section 2.04 Funding of Borrowing.  (a) To request the Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver a written borrowing request,  substantially in the form of Annex C hereto (the “Borrowing Request”).  The Borrowing Request  shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower (except in the event of termination of the  Acquisition Agreement prior to the Closing Date) and shall be given to the Administrative Agent  no later than 8:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date.  (b) Each Lender shall make the Loan to be made by it hereunder from its applicable  Lending Office on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars to  the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.   The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by 4:00 p.m. (New York  time) by crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, on the Closing Date by wire transfer in  accordance with the instructions set forth in the Borrowing Request.  (c) Each Lender may make its Loans through any Lending Office; provided that (i)  the making of such Loan through such Lending Office shall not increase the amounts payable by  the Borrower under Section 2.11 or 2.13 (unless approved by the Borrower) and (ii) the exercise of  this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with the  terms of this Agreement.   (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to  the Closing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such  Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has  made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may,  in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding principal  amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing  available to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the  Administrative Agent made available to the Borrower the corresponding principal amount, then the  applicable Lender and the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand  such corresponding principal amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the  date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the  Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the  Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance  with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made  by the Borrower, the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to the relevant Borrowing; provided, that the  obligation of the Borrower to pay interest on the corresponding principal amount shall only apply  to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not received the payment of interest thereon from  the relevant Lender following demand.  If both the Borrower and such Lender shall pay interest to  the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall  promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If  such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such  Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be  without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender hereunder for failure to  fund or thereafter make such payment to the Administrative Agent.  





 






  41  Section 2.05 Termination of Commitments.  The undrawn Commitments (if any) shall  automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (a) the Closing Date, immediately after giving effect to  the funding of the Loans to be made on such date, (b) the expiration of the Availability Period, (c) the  termination of the Acquisition Agreement, and (d) prior to the Closing Date, a Mandatory Prepayment  Event.  Section 2.06 Reserved.  Section 2.07 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent  for the account of each Lender the unpaid principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date.   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.  (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the  amount of each Loan made hereunder, (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) the amount of  any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each  Lender’s share thereof.  (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of  this Section shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence 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. In the event of any  conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the Register, the Register shall control  in the absence of manifest error.  (d) Any Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that its Loans be  evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such  Lender a Note, payable to such Lender or its registered assigns.  Section 2.08 Prepayment of Loans.   (a) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders to  prepay the Loans as follows:  (i) Change of Control.

(iv) Other Debt.  The amounts required to be prepaid under Section 2.08(a)(iii)  shall be reduced by any ratable portion of such Net Proceeds required to be applied to the  repayment of other Debt of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary under the Indentures,  to the extent the Indentures include a mandatory prepayment or similar provision that  requires such ratable prepayment.  (b) Voluntary Prepayments.  (i) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to  prepay the Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to payment  of any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.12), subject to prior notice in  accordance with paragraph (ii) of this Section 2.08(b)(ii).  (ii) An Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall notify the Administrative  Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) or electronic mail of any prepayment  hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the  principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice  relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of  the contents thereof. Any partial prepayment of the Loans shall be applied ratably to the  outstanding Loans.  Section 2.09 Interest.  (a) Each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times during each  Interest Period to the sum of the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable  Margin.  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or (b)  has occurred and is continuing, all overdue Obligations (which shall include all Obligations  following an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.01, including an automatic  acceleration) shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in  the case of overdue principal or interest of any Loan, two percent (2.0%) plus the rate otherwise  applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case  of any other amount, two percent (2.0%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to ABR Loans; provided  





 






  43  that no interest pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall accrue or be payable to a Defaulting Lender so  long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.  (c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment  Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall  be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued  interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment  or prepayment.  (d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except  that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base  Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days  in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day  but excluding the last day).  The applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate and Alternate Base Rate shall be  determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent  manifest error.  Section 2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest; Inability to Determine Rates.  Subject to Section 2.17,  if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period:  (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market  for the applicable amount, currency and Interest Period of the Loans;  (b) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive  absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted  LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), no Benchmark  Transition Event (as defined in Section 2.17(a)) shall have occurred at such time; or  (c) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted  LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders  (or Lender) of making or maintaining its Loans for such Interest Period,  then the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the affected  Lenders by telephone (such telephonic notice promptly confirmed thereafter by delivery of a written notice)  and, during the thirty (30) days next succeeding the giving of such notice, the Borrower and the affected  Lenders shall negotiate in good faith in order to arrive at a mutually satisfactory interest rate which shall be  applicable during such Interest Period to the Loans. If within such 30-day period, the Borrower and the  affected Lenders agree in writing upon an alternative interest rate, such rate shall be effective from the  commencement and for the duration of such Interest Period until such time as the circumstances giving rise  to such notice cease to apply at the commencement of a new Interest Period. If the Borrower and the affected  Lenders fail to agree upon such an alternative interest rate within such 30-day period, the interest rate during  such Interest Period applicable to such Loans effective from the commencement and for the duration of  such Interest Period until such time as the circumstances giving rise to such notice cease to apply at the  commencement of a new Interest Period shall be the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (with  the utilization of the LIBOR Market Index Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate being  suspended).  Section 2.11 Increased Costs.  (a) If any Change in Law shall:  (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,  compulsory loan, insurance charge, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of,  





 






  44  deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such  reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);  (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other  condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by  such Lender or any participation therein; or  (iii) 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;  and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of  maintaining any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such  other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then upon request of such Lender  or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such  additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be,  for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated  to pay any such compensation unless the Lender or other Recipient requesting such compensation is also  requesting compensation as a result of such Change in Law from other similarly situated customers under  agreements relating to similar credit transactions that include provisions similar to this Section 2.11.  (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any  Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or  liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s  capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this  Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below  that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such  Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s  holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the  Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such  Lender for any such reduction suffered; provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay  any such compensation unless the Lender or other Recipient requesting such compensation is also  requesting compensation as a result of such Change in Law from other similarly situated customers  under agreements relating to similar credit transactions that include provisions similar to this  Section 2.11.  (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to  compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a)  or (b) of this Section 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  sixty (60) days after receipt thereof.  (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the  provisions of Sections 2.11, shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such  compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant  to the provisions of Sections 2.11 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than  270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such  increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;  provided further that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,  





 






  45  then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive  effect thereof.  Section 2.12 Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any  Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of  Default), (b) the failure to borrow or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant  hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.07(b) and is revoked in  accordance therewith), or (c) the assignment of any 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 2.15, then, in any such event,  the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event  (excluding loss of profits).  In the case of a 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, by which (i) the amount of interest  which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the  Adjusted LIBO Rate, as applicable, 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, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), exceeds (ii) the amount of  interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender  would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount  and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount  or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower  and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as  due on any such certificate within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof.  Failure or delay on the part of any  Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s  right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a  Lender pursuant to this Section for any amount incurred more than sixty (60) days prior to the date that  such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s claim for compensation therefor.  Section 2.13 Payments Free of Taxes.  (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower 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 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 2.13) the applicable Recipient receives an  amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.  (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower 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.  (c) Evidence of Payments.  Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of  Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.13 (or, if receipts  or evidence are not available within 30 days, as soon as practicable thereafter), the Borrower 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.  





 






  46  (d) Indemnification.  The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within sixty (60)  days after written 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  2.13) payable or paid by such Recipient and any documented and reasonable expenses arising  therefrom or with respect thereto, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such  Recipient, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by  the relevant Governmental Authority.  Without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to indemnify  Indemnified Taxes hereunder except as expressly set forth in this paragraph (d), a Recipient  claiming indemnity pursuant to this Section 2.13(d) shall notify the Borrower of the imposition of  the relevant Indemnified Taxes as soon as reasonably practicable after the Recipient becomes aware  of such imposition.  The Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Recipient pursuant to  this Section 2.13(d) for any interest, additions to tax or penalties that accrue more than 270 days  prior to the date that such Recipient notifies the Borrower of the imposition of the relevant  Indemnified Taxes.  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) Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the  Administrative Agent, within sixty (60) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes  attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified  the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the  Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the  provisions of Section 10.04(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 in connection with any Loan Document, and any documented and reasonable  expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or  legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount  of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be  conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set  off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or  otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any  amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).  (f) Status of Lenders.    (i) Any Recipient 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, any Recipient, 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 Recipient 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 shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such  completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material  unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial  position of such Recipient.  





 






  47  (ii) If a payment made to a Recipient would be subject to U.S. federal  withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the  applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section  1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient 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  such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine  the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause  (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this  Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any such form or certification it previously  delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such  form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in  writing of its legal inability to do so.   (g) 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 (for this purpose, including any  credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax (a “Tax Credit”), in each case, in  lieu of a refund) as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the  payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party  an amount equal to such refund (but (x) only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this  Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or Tax Credit and (y), with respect  to any Tax Credit, only to the extent such party has obtained, utilized and retained such Tax Credit),  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 (g) (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 (g) in no event will the indemnified  party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 or Tax Credit 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.  (h) VAT. All amounts set out in, or expressed to be payable under, a Loan Document  by any party to a Credit Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply  for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and  accordingly, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.17(h), if VAT is chargeable on any  supply made by any Credit Party to any party under a Loan Document and such Credit Party is  required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, such Credit Party shall promptly  provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party and, provided that such an invoice has been  provided, that party shall pay to such Credit Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying  any other consideration for such supply) or, according with the Council Directive 2006/112/EC as  





 






  48  amended, an amount equal to the amount of the VAT or, where applicable, directly account for  such VAT at the appropriate rate under the reverse charge procedure provided for by Article 196  of Council Directive 2006/112/EC, as amended and implemented by any relevant member state of  the European Union.  If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party (the Supplier)  to any other Credit Party (the Recipient) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the  Recipient (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount  equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse  or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):  (i) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax  authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party shall also pay to the Supplier (at the same time  as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The  Recipient shall (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an  amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax  authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that  supply; and.  (ii) (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax  authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party shall promptly, following demand from the  Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but  only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit  or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.  Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Credit Party for  any costs or expenses, that party shall also at the same time reimburse or indemnify (as the case  may be) the Credit Party against all VAT incurred by the Credit Party in respect of such costs or  expenses but only to the extent that the Credit Party (reasonably) determines that it is not entitled  to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.  Any reference in this clause (h) to any party shall, at any time when that party is treated as  a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and  unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making  the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in  Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC as amended (or as implemented by any relevant  member state of the European Union)) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference  to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT  purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or representative or head) of  that group or unity at the relevant time (as the case may be).   In relation to any supply made by a Credit Party to any party under a Loan Document, if  reasonably requested by such Credit Party, that party shall promptly provide such Credit Party with  details of that party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in  connection with such Credit Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.  (i) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive the  resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent 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.  





 






  49  (j) Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “applicable law”  includes FATCA.  Section 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.  (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder prior  to 1:00 p.m. (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree), on the date when due, in  immediately available funds, without 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 accounts of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by  it for payments, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 10.03 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.  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 hereunder shall be made in Dollars.  Each payment (including each prepayment) by  the Borrower on account of principal of, and interest on, the Loans shall be applied pro rata  according to the respective Applicable Percentages of the Lenders.  (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative  Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall  be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the  parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties,  and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due 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 Loans resulting in such Lender  receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest  thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater  proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to  the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably  in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on its respective  Loans; 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 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in  accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as  consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or  participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the  provisions of this paragraph shall apply).  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 hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may  





 






  50  assume that the Borrower have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,  in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the  Borrower have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay  to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 the Federal Funds  Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking  industry rules on interbank compensation.  (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to  Section 2.04(b), Section 2.13(d) or Section 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its  discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter  received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s  obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold  such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive  control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender  under any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined  by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.  Section 2.15 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrower is  required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental  Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, 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 judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate  or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the  future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not  otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agree to pay all reasonable  costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.  (b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or (ii) if the Borrower  is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental  Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, or (iii) if any Lender becomes  Defaulting Lender, or (iv) any Lender has refused to consent to any proposed amendment,  modification, waiver, termination or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement or  any other Loan Document that, pursuant to Section 10.02, requires the consent of all Lenders or  each Lender affected thereby and with respect to which Lenders constituting the Required Lenders  have consented to such proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, or (v)  any Lender delivers a notification pursuant to Section 2.18 regarding its ability to make or maintain  Loans, or (vi) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace  a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may (A) in the case of a Defaulting Lender or a  Lender that is unable to make or maintain Loans, terminate the relevant Lender’s Commitment and  (B) in the case of any such Lender (including any Defaulting Lender or a Lender that is unable to  make or maintain Loans), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such  Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions  contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing  rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.11 or 2.13) 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 (1) the Borrower shall have received the prior written  





 






  51  consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,  conditioned or delayed (unless such assignment is to an existing Lender or an Affiliate of an  existing Lender that would otherwise not require the Borrower’s consent under Section 10.04), (2)  such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its  Loans, 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; provided, that, in the case of any Defaulting Lender,  the Borrower shall be entitled to offset any expenses resulting from such Lender having been a  Defaulting Lender and such assignment from any amounts payable by the Borrower to the  Defaulting Lender hereunder), (3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for  compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such  assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (4) in the case of any  such assignment resulting from a Lender’s refusal to consent to a proposed amendment,  modification, waiver, termination or consent, the assignee shall approve the proposed amendment,  modification, waiver, termination or consent.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such  assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the  circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.   Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Lender that acts as the Administrative  Agent may not be replaced in its capacity as Administrative Agent hereunder except in accordance  with the terms of Article VIII.  Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders.  (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender  becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the  Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required  Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment,  waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.02).  (b) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the  Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory,  at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a  Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be  determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by  such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, 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 such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement,  as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent  and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such  Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this  Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment  of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a  result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, 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 such  Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this  Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent  jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans  in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such  Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived,  such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata  





 






  52  basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time  as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments, without giving  effect to Section 2.16(a).  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 2.16(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such  Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

As used in this Section 2.17, the following terms have the  following meanings:  “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current  Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with  reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest  Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.  “Benchmark” means, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if a replacement of USD LIBOR or the  then-current Benchmark has occurred pursuant to this Section 2.17, then “Benchmark” means the applicable  Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior  benchmark rate pursuant to this Section 2.17.  Any reference to “Benchmark” shall include, as applicable,  the published component used in the calculation thereof.  “Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor:  (1) For purposes of clause (b)(i) of this Section 2.17, the first alternative set forth below that can be  determined by the Administrative Agent:  (a) the sum of: (i) Term SOFR and (ii) 0.42826% (42.826 basis points) for an Available  Tenor of six-months’ duration, or  (b) the sum of: (i) Daily Simple SOFR and (ii) the spread adjustment selected or  recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of the tenor of  USD LIBOR with a SOFR-based rate having approximately the same length as the  interest payment period specified in clause (a) of this Section; and  (2) for purposes of clause (b)(ii) of this Section 2.17, the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate and  (b) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been  selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for such Available Tenor  of such Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention,  including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S.  dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time;  provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be  less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this  Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark  Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of  “ABR,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of

  54  upon SOFR) as a benchmark rate (and such syndicated credit facilities are identified in such notice  and are publicly available for review), and  (2) the joint election by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to trigger a fallback from USD  LIBOR and the provision by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the  Lenders.  “Floor” means the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (as of the  execution of this Agreement, the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with  respect to USD LIBOR.  “Reference Time” with respect to any setting of the then-current Benchmark means (1) if such  Benchmark is USD LIBOR, 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the day that is two London banking days  preceding the date of such setting, and (2) if such Benchmark is not USD LIBOR, the time determined by  the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.  “Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or  the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of  Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor  thereto.  “SOFR” means, with respect to any Business Day, a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight  financing rate for such Business Day published by the SOFR Administrator on the SOFR Administrator’s  Website on the immediately succeeding Business Day.  “SOFR Administrator” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor  administrator of the secured overnight financing rate).  “SOFR Administrator’s Website” means the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,  currently at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source for the secured overnight financing rate  identified as such by the SOFR Administrator from time to time.  “Term SOFR” means, for the applicable Corresponding Tenor as of the applicable Reference  Time, the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant  Governmental Body.  “USD LIBOR” means the London interbank offered rate for Dollars.    (b) Benchmark Replacement.

If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments  will be payable on a quarterly basis.  





 






  55  (ii) Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark  Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under  any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York  time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day (New York time) after the date notice of such  Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower without any  amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any  other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time,  written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the  Required Lenders.  At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has  permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has  been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark  pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative  of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure  and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may elect that any Loans that  would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate  plus the Applicable Margin until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative  Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark.  During the period  referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon  the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.  (c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the  implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will  have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and,  notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments  implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without  any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document  (except for the consultation rights of the Borrower described in the definition of “Benchmark  Replacement Conforming Changes”).  (d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent  will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition  Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the effectiveness of any  Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may  be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant  to this Section 2.17 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the  occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain  from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and  may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this  Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to  this Section 2.17.  (e) Unavailability of Tenor Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary  herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the  implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate  (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not  displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as  selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor  for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of  information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative,  then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark  settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a  





 






  56  tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen  or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is  no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark  (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition  of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously  removed tenor.  Section 2.18 Illegality.  (a) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any  Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending  Office to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or any  Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to  purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, upon notice  thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (i) any obligation of  such Lender to make or maintain Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the  Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be suspended, and (ii) the interest rate on which such Loan shall, if  necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to  the LIBOR Market Index Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case 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, (i) the Borrower shall, upon  demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or elect that the Loan  of such Lender bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (the interest rate  on which shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent  without reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate), either  on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain its  Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain its Loan  and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates  based upon the LIBOR Market Index Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate with respect to  any ABR Loan, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the  Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate  component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no  longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Market  Index Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate.  Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay  accrued interest on the amount so prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant  to Section 2.11.  (b) Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will  avoid the need for any notice described in Sections 2.18(a) and will not, in the good faith judgment  of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase the amounts  payable by the Borrower under Section 2.11 or Section 2.13 (unless approved by the Borrower).  Upon any prepayment or conversion pursuant to Sections 2.18(a), the Borrower shall also pay  accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection  with such prepayment and conversion.   Section 2.19 Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Transactions.  (a) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition  Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which  requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would  result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be  





 






  57  deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the  definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition  Transaction is executed.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under  the first sentence of this paragraph (a), and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the  date such definitive agreement for a Limited Condition Transaction is executed and prior to the  consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall  be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action  being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.  (b) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition  Transaction for purposes of: (1) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement  which requires the calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio; or (2) testing baskets set forth in  this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Total Assets); in each case, at the  option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any  Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such  action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement (or other  relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the  “LCT Test Date”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to subsequently elect, in  its sole discretion, the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction instead of the  LCT Test Date as the applicable date of determination, and if, after giving pro forma effect to the  Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith  (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof), as are appropriate and consistent  with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definitions of “Consolidated EBITDA”  and “Total Net Leverage Ratio”, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary could have taken such  action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test  or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.  (c) If the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets  for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of  fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA  or Total Assets at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets  or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.  If the Borrower  has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any  subsequent calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability under this Agreement (including with  respect to the incurrence of Debt or Liens, or the making of Permitted Disposals, acquisitions,  mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the  Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary) on or  following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited  Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition  Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction,  any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited  Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of  Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.  Section 2.20 Extension of Maturity Date.  (a) Extension.  So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may,  by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than forty  five (45) days prior to the Maturity Date but not later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the  proposed extension (the date of such proposed extension, the “Extension Date”), extend the  





 






  58  Maturity Date to a date that is six (6) months after the Maturity Date (the “Extended Maturity  Date”). The Borrower may make no more than one (1) such request for extension.  (b) Conditions to Extension. The extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this  Section 2.20 shall be subject to (i) each Lender receiving on or before the original Maturity Date  payment of the Extension Fee in accordance with the Lender Fee Letter and (ii) on the Maturity  Date, immediately prior, and after giving effect, to such extension, no Default or Event of Default  exists.

  71  and such attachment, sequestration, distress or execution is not discharged within sixty (60) days  or, where the Borrower reasonably believes such action is frivolous, vexatious or without merit,  and  is  challenging  such action in good faith, such action is not discharged within one hundred  and eight (180) days;  (l) the Borrower shall fail within sixty (60) days to pay, bond or otherwise discharge  any judgments or orders for the payment of money (not covered by insurance as to which the insurer  has been notified of such judgment or order and does not dispute payment) which have not been  stayed on appeal or otherwise appropriately contested in good faith in an amount which, when  added to all other such judgments or orders outstanding against the Borrower would exceed  $100,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies);  (m) the Borrower shall disavow, revoke or terminate (or attempt to terminate) in  writing any Loan Document or shall otherwise challenge or contest in any action, suit or proceeding  in any court or before any Governmental Authority the validity or enforceability of any Loan  Document; or any Loan Document shall cease to be in full force and effect (except as a result of  the express terms hereof or thereof);  (n) if, in any applicable jurisdiction, it becomes unlawful for the Borrower to perform  any of its obligations under the Loan Documents;  (o) the Borrower repudiates a Loan Document or evidences an intention to repudiate  a Loan Document; or  (p) the authority or ability of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary  to conduct its  business is limited or wholly or substantially curtailed by any seizure, expropriation,  nationalization, intervention, restriction or other action by or on behalf of any governmental,  regulatory or other authority or other person in relation to any such Person or any of its assets,  where such action has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse  Effect;   then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause  (h) or (i) of this Article VII), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the  Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the  Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate  the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare  the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal  not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and  thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued  interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become  due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,  all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the  Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article VII, the Commitments shall automatically  terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon  and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become  due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are  hereby waived by the Borrower.  Section 7.02 Distribution of Payments after Event of Default.  In the event that following the  occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or any Lender,  





 






  72  as the case may be, receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any the Loan Documents,  such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:  (a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the  Administrative Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable fees, costs, expenses, disbursements and  losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Administrative Agent in connection with  the Facility or the Loan Documents or any transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, to the  extent reimbursable or indemnifiable pursuant to the Loan Documents;  (b) Second, to pay any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts  (other than principal and interest) then due to the Lenders from the Borrower, ratably among them  in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;  (c) Third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans ratably among the Lenders  in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) payable to them;  (d) Fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans ratably;  (e) Fifth, to the payment in full of all other Obligations, in each case ratably among  the Administrative Agent and the Lenders based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such  Obligations owing to them in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and payable;  and  (f) Sixth, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the  Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.  ARTICLE VIII  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder  and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its  behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or  thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  It is understood and  agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents with reference to the  Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations  arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market  custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.   The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in  its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the  Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or  unless the context otherwise requires, include the bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in  its individual capacity.  Such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own  securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any  kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the  Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth  herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary  or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  





 






  73  (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any  discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other  Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required  Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances  as provided in Section 10.02 or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall  not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the  Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, and (c) except  as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any  duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower  or any Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the Administrative Agent  or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken  or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or  percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), or  as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, or (ii) in the absence of its own  gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non- appealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or  Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the  Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to  ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this  Agreement or any other Loan Documents, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document  delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or  observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or  the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or  genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document,  or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm  receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to  ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Defaulting  Lenders.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be  obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or  Participant is a Defaulting Lender or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment  or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Defaulting Lender (except for  the Administrative Agent’s compliance with its own confidentiality obligations hereunder).  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying  upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including  any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be  genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative  Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been  made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance  with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction  of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless  the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making  of such Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the  Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action  taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers  hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents, including its  Related Parties, appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent  





 






  74  may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its respective Related  Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to  the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to its respective  activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities  as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or  misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a  final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful  misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the  Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with  the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (unless  an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment in which case only  consultation with the Borrower shall be required), to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been  so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the  retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the  Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but  shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall  be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank (which appointment  shall be made with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned  or delayed) (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment in  which case only consultation with the Borrower shall be required)); provided that in no event shall any such  successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed,  such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.  If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the  definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in  writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent  of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (unless an Event  of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment in which case only consultation  with the Borrower shall be required), appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed  by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as  shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall  nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.  With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i)  the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder  and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or  removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by,  to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time,  if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the  acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed  to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed  Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed  Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of  its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower  to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise  agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s  resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII  and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent,  





 






  75  its sub-agents and its respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by  any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made here under are  commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities.  Each  Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the  ordinary course of its business and acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the  Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of its Related Parties and based on such documents and  information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this  Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder.  Each Lender also acknowledges  that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any  of its Related Parties and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non- public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its  Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or  not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement  or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will  continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial  proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any  Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of  whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and  empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim  for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the  reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative  Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative  Agent under Section 10.03) 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 to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event  that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay  to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and  advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the  Administrative Agent under Section 10.03.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lead Arrangers shall not have any powers,  duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,  as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.  ARTICLE IX  ERRONEOUS PAYMENTS  Section 9.01 Erroneous Payments.  (a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such  Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received  by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment,  prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a  “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender),  





 






  76  and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in  no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of  any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds,  together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or  portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the  Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the  Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from  time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert,  and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of  set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative  Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on  “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender  under this Section 9.01(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  (b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the  Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different  date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its  Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or  accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been  made with respect to such Payment.  Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise  becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall  promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the  Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter,  return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which  such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day  from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the  date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a  rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on  interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  (c) The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an  erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such  Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all  the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay,  prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower; provided that  nothing in this Article IX shall be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have  the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative  to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had  such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for  the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any  such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that  is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of  making such Erroneous Payment.  (d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.01 shall survive the resignation or  replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the  replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or  discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.  





 






  77  ARTICLE X  MISCELLANEOUS  Section 10.01 Notices.  (a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly  permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to paragraph (b) below), all notices and other  communications provided for herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in writing and shall be  delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by electronic  mail or by telecopy, as follows:  (i) If to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to it at its address (or  electronic mail address or telecopy number) set forth on Schedule II; and  (ii) if to any Lender, to it at its address (or electronic mail address or telecopy  number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.  Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified  or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications  sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal  business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next  Business Day for the recipient).  Notices delivered through Electronic Systems, to the extent provided in  paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).  (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or  furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative  Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise  agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender.  The Administrative Agent and The  Borrower may, in each of its respective discretion, agree to accept notices and other  communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by  it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or  communications.  Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent  to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the  intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other  written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website  shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as  described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and  identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice,  electronic mail or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such  notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business  Day for the recipient.  (c) Any party hereto may change its address, electronic mail address or telecopy  number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.  All  notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of  this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.  (d) Electronic Systems.  (i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be  obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the other Lenders by  





 






  78  posting the Communications on Debtdomain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a  substantially similar Electronic System (the “Platform”).  (ii) Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as  is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy  of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the  Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including,  without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non- infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made  by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System.  In  no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the  “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or  entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special,  incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or  otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of  communications through an Electronic System.  “Communications” means, collectively,  any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by  or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions  contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or by  means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an  Electronic System.  (e) The Borrower hereby acknowledge that (1) the Administrative Agent or the Lead  Arrangers will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf  of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials  on the Platform and (2) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who  do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates,  or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and  other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities.  The Borrower hereby agree  that they will, upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, identify that portion of the  Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all the Borrower  Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean  that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking  Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the  Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as not  containing any material non- public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with  respect to the Borrower or its respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries or its or its respective securities  for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent  the Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.13);  (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion  of the Platform designated “Public Side Information”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the  Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as  being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side  Information.”  Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments.    (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any  right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or  partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to  enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any  





 






  79  other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders  hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights  or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document  or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless such  waiver or consent, as applicable, shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such  waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which  given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed  as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or  any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.  No  waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor any notice or demand on the  Borrower, in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further waiver, consent, notice or  demand in similar or other circumstances.  (b) Neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended  or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower  and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the  Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (a) change the required percentage set  forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”; (b) provide for an extension to the date of payment  of any amount under this Agreement; (c) provide for an increase or a reduction in the Applicable  Margin or an increase or a reduction in the amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or  any other amount payable to any Lender (provided that, only the Required Lenders’ consent shall  be required to amend the rate charged pursuant to Section 2.08(b) or waive the obligation to pay  interest at such rate, even if the effect is to reduce the rate of interest or the amount of any fee  payable under this Agreement); (d) change the currency of payment of any amount under this  Agreement; (e) change or extend any Commitment under the Facility; (f) substitute or release the  Borrower other than as permitted under this Agreement; (g) change Section 2.14 in a manner that  would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby; (h) waive any condition set forth in  Section 4.01; (i) change Section 10.09(a) in a manner that would alter the governing law of this  Agreement; (j) the subordination of any of the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement to any  other Debt; (k) amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent of all  Lenders; (l) amend or waive the Borrower’s obligation to prepay the Loans pursuant to Section  2.08(a); (m) amend, supplement or modify this Section 10.02(b) and Section 7.02 and (n) change  the definition of “Applicable Percentage”, shall be made without also obtaining the prior consent  of, in the case of (a), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (k), all Lenders and, in the case of (b), (c), (d), (e), (j), (l),  (m) and (n), each directly and adversely affected Lender; provided further that no such agreement  shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder  without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Defaulting Lender shall have  any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any  amendment, waiver or consent that by its terms requires the consent of all the Lenders or each  affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting  Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or  extended, or the maturity of any of its Loan may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its  Loans may not be reduced and the principal amount of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in  each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any amendment, waiver or consent  requiring the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any  Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such  Defaulting Lender.  





 






  80  (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent and  the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error, ambiguity omission, defect or  inconsistency or any error or omission of a formal, minor, operational or technical nature, in each  case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower  shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become  effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document; provided  that the Administrative Agent shall notify the Required Lenders of such amendment as soon as  practicable thereafter.  Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.    (a) The Borrower shall pay: (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses  incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Lead Arrangers in connection with the  preparation, documentation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, including,  but not limited to, travel expenses, drafting and printing of the marketing materials, the reasonable  fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lead  Arrangers, provided that, each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and the Lead Arrangers  acknowledges and agrees that (x) any such out-of-pocket expenses (excluding, for the avoidance  of doubt, fees, costs and expenses of counsel (which shall be subject to clause (ii) of this Section  10.03(a)) and any costs related to Debt domain or any other similar electronic platform) exceeding  $5,000 (individually or in the aggregate) incurred by the Lead Arrangers or its respective Affiliates  in connection with the syndication of the Facility prior to the date hereof shall be approved by the  Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (y) the  obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Lead Arrangers for the costs  and expenses of counsel incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of  the Loan Documents shall be subject to the agreements with respect thereto among the Borrower,  the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and such counsel (as applicable); (ii) all reasonable  and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any  Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative  Agent or the Lenders (which shall be limited to one outside counsel in each relevant jurisdiction),  in connection with the Facility or any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent  related thereto; and (iii) all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender  (including documented external counsel fees and out-of-pocket expenses), if any, in connection  with the preservation of rights under or with respect to, or enforcement of, this Agreement (whether  through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise), including the enforcement of the  reimbursement rights under this Section 10.03 and in connection with any workout or restructuring  in respect of the Loans.  (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and  each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an  “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,  damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any  counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in  connection with, or as a result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or  proceeding, whether or not such investigation, action or proceeding is brought by you, your equity  holders, creditors, another Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Person  is otherwise a party thereto, in any way relating to, arising out of, in connection with or by reason  of (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation  for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding)) (i) the  execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument  contemplated hereby (ii) the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions  





 






  81  contemplated hereby, (iii) any Commitment, Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iv) any  actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or  operated by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any other Environmental Liability related in any  way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any  Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related  expenses (x) result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee  (or any of its Related Parties) or from the material breach by such Indemnitee (or any of its Related  Parties) of any obligation under the Loan Documents, in each case, as determined by a court of  competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment or (y) result from a dispute solely  among Indemnitees (other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its  role as the Administrative Agent, Lead Arrangers or similar role under the Loan Documents) and  not arising out of any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.  This Section 10.03(b)  shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages  arising from any non-Tax claim.  (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to  the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting the  Borrower’s obligation to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent  such Lender’s Pro-Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense  or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense  or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred  by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.  (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, or  permit any of its Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each such party hereby waives, any  claim against any other party hereto or any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by  others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other  information transmission systems (including the Internet, the Platform or any other customary  electronic platform or messaging service); provided that such waiver shall not, as to any Person, be  available to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by  final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful  misconduct of, or a breach of the Loan Documents by, such Person or its Affiliates or Related  Parties, or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as  opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan  Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the  use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of  any obligation they may have to indemnify or reimburse an Indemnitee against special, indirect,  consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.  (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand  therefor.  Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns.  (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of  the parties hereto and its respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the  Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without  the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower  without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its  rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.  Nothing in this Agreement,  expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,  





 






  82  its respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in  paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties  of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim  under or by reason of this Agreement.  (b) (i)  Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender  may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or  a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent  (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:  (A) the Borrower; provided that, no consent of the Borrower shall be  required for an assignment to (i) an Initial Lender, (ii) an Affiliate of an Initial  Lender provided that such assignment will not increase the payments due from the  Borrower under Section 2.11 or 2.13 at the time of such assignment or such  increased payments are waived or otherwise assumed by such transferee or  assignee of such Loan, (iii) the Lenders previously identified and agreed to by the  Lead Arrangers and the Borrower in connection with the syndication of the Facility  to occur promptly following the Closing Date, (iv) any other Lender previously  approved by the Borrower or (v) if an Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing at the time of such assignment, to any other assignee, but the  Administrative Agent shall nonetheless send notice of such assignment to the  Borrower; and provided, further, that the Borrower’s failure to consent to an  assignment to (1) a Fund (excluding any Fund that is a Lender previously approved  by the Borrower), (2) to any assignee that, on the date of such assignment, is  reasonably expected to increase the payments due from the Borrower under  Section 2.11 or 2.13 (provided that such assignee shall be entitled to the benefits  of Sections 2.11 and 2.13 resulting from a Change in Law that occurs after the  assignee acquired the applicable Loan), or (3) a competitor of the Borrower and its  Subsidiaries (or an Affiliate of any such competitor), in each case, shall not be  deemed to be unreasonably withheld; and  (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no such consent shall be  required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender or  an Affiliate of a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to  such assignment.  (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:  (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a  Lender or of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment  or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject  to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and  Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative  Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000, unless the Borrower and the  Administrative Agent otherwise consent;  (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a  proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this  Agreement;  





 






  83  (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the  Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing  and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, in its  sole discretion, elect to waive such proceeding and recordation fee in the case of  any assignment; and  (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the  Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee  designates one or more credit contacts at such assignee to whom all syndicate-level  information (which may contain material non-public information about the  Borrower and its Related Parties or its respective securities) will be made available  and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s  compliance procedures and applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities  Laws.  (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)  of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and  Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest  assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender  under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the  interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations  under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of  the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall  cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to  the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 10.03 and any fees payable  hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid).  Any  assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does  not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale  by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with  paragraph (c) of this Section.  (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-  fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each  Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names  and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated  interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time  (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and  the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose  name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all  purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be  available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from  time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption  executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative  Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing  and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to  such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall  accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in  the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed  to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), Section 2.13(d)  





 






  84  or Section 10.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such  Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and  until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.   No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded  in the Register as provided in this paragraph.  (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative  Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates,  or a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust known by such Lender after  reasonable inquiry to be for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person))  (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement  (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such  Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain  solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the  Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly  with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.   Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide  that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any  amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such  agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the  Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to  Section 10.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that  each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 (subject to the  requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13(f) (it being  understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13(f) 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 2.15 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this  Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or 2.13,  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 2.15 with respect to any Participant.  To  the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08  as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14(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 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, 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.   The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender  shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such  participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the  avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have  no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  





 






  85  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time  pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure  obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to  a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security  interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or  assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.  Section 10.05 Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the  Borrower in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with  or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto  and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans,  regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the  Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default  at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the  principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this  Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The  provisions of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.13 and 10.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and  effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans  and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.  Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.    (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto  on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken  together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any  separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the  entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all  previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.   Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been  executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received  counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties  hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and its  respective permitted successors and assigns.  (b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by  telecopy, facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf) or any other electronic means complying with  the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act  or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly  and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes to the fullest extent permitted by  applicable Law.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment,  extension or renewal of the agreement.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,”  and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this  Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic  Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the  same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery  thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as  provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and  National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other  similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  Each of the parties hereto  represents and warrants to the other party/ies that is has the corporate capacity and authority to  





 






  86  execute this Agreement through electronic means and there are no restrictions for doing so in that  party’s constitutive documents.  Section 10.07 Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or  unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity,  illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining  provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate  such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability  of any provision of this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws,  as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect  only to the extent not so limited.  Section 10.08 Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each  Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent  permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional  or final) at any time held and other matured obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or  for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the matured obligations of the Borrower  now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such  Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a  branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on  such indebtedness.  The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in  writing of such setoff and application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice  shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section.  The rights of each Lender  under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such  Lender may have.  Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy,  dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or  relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, except as expressly set forth  in any other Loan Document) shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the  State of New York.  (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its  property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in  New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court for the Southern  District of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any  action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or  enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally  agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in  such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties  hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may  be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.   Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender  may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against the  Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.  





 






  87  (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent  it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying  of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any  court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably  waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the  maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.  (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the  manner provided for notices in Section 10.01.  Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right  of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  THE BORROWER  HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT  SERVICE OF ALL WRITS, PROCESS AND SUMMONSES IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR  PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK MAY BE MADE UPON CT  CORPORATION SYSTEM, AT 28 LIBERTY STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10005, UNITED  STATES OF AMERICA (THE “PROCESS AGENT”) AND THE BORROWER  HEREBY CONFIRMS  AND AGREES THAT THE PROCESS AGENT HAS BEEN DULY AND IRREVOCABLY  APPOINTED (AND HAS ACCEPTED ITS APPOINTMENT) AS ITS RESPECTIVE AGENT TO  ACCEPT SUCH SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL SUCH WRITS, PROCESSES AND SUMMONSES,  AND AGREES THAT THE FAILURE OF THE PROCESS AGENT TO GIVE ANY NOTICE OF ANY  SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS TO THE BORROWER SHALL NOT IMPAIR OR AFFECT THE  VALIDITY OF SUCH SERVICE OR OF ANY JUDGMENT BASED THEREON.  IF THE PROCESS  AGENT SHALL CEASE TO SERVE AS AGENT FOR THE BORROWER, THE BORROWER SHALL  PROMPTLY APPOINT A SUCCESSOR AGENT SATISFACTORY TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE  AGENT.  THE BORROWER  HEREBY FURTHER AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL  AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED  BY LAW.  Section 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY  IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY  RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR  INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE  TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR  ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,  AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR  OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK  TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE  OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY,  AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.  Section 10.11 Headings.

In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this  Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar  services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders in  connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the  Commitments and the Borrowings hereunder.  The Administrative Agent and Lenders shall also have  permission to use the names and logos of the Borrower in the Administrative Agent’s or its respective  affiliates’ marketing materials, subject to the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably  withheld, conditioned or delayed).  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information  received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that  is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by  the Borrower ; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof,  such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to  maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied  with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the  confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.  Section 10.13 Material Non-Public Information.  (a) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION (AS DEFINED  IN SECTION 10.12) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY  INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER  AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR ITS RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT  IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF  MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH  MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE  PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE  SECURITIES LAWS.  (b) ALL INFORMATION NOT MARKED “PUBLIC”, INCLUDING REQUESTS  FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER  OR THE  ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING,  





 






  89  THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY  CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS  RELATED PARTIES OR ITS RESPECTIVE SECURITIES.  ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER  REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS  IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO  MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON- PUBLIC  INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND  APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  Section 10.14 Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in  any Loan Document, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges  and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Law (collectively the  “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for,  charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Law,  the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect  thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.  To the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would  have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section shall  be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall  be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated  amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of  repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.  Any amount collected by such Lender that exceeds  the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal  balance of such Loan or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or  payable in respect of such Loan exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.  Section 10.15 Judgment Currency.  (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a  sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest  extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in  accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be  purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which  final judgment is given.  (b) If any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the  “Applicable Creditor”) obtains a judgment or judgments against the Borrower in a currency other  than the currency required to be payable hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), any obligations  of the Borrower in respect of any sum adjudged to be due to the Applicable Creditor hereunder (the  “Judgment Amount”) shall be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following  receipt by the Applicable Creditor of the Judgment Amount in such other currency, the Applicable  Creditor, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, may purchase  the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Amount in such other currency.  If the amount of the  Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the amount of the Agreement Currency that could  have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or dates the Judgment Amount was  originally due and owing (the “Original Due Date”) to the Applicable Creditor (the “Loss”), the  Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the  Applicable Creditor against the Loss, and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased  exceeds the amount of the Agreement Currency that could have been purchased with the Judgment  Amount on the Original Due Date, the Applicable Creditor agrees to remit such excess to the  Borrower (as applicable).  The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.15 shall survive  the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.  





 






  90  (c) The Borrower waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount  under the Loan Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed  to be payable.  Section 10.16 Waiver of Immunity.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the activities  contemplated by the provisions of the Loan Documents are commercial in nature rather than governmental  or public and therefore acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower is not entitled to any right of immunity  on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise with respect to such activities or in any legal action or  proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law,  The Borrower, in respect of itself, its process agents and its properties (including its Subsidiaries) and  revenues, expressly and irrevocably waives any such right of immunity which may now or hereafter exist  (including any immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or from any suit, execution, attachment (whether  provisional or final, in aid of execution, prior to judgment or otherwise) or other legal process (including  in any jurisdiction where immunity (whether or not claimed) may be attributed to it or its assets)) or claim  thereto which may now or hereafter exist and irrevocably agrees not to assert any such right or claim of  immunity in any such action or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted now or in the future by the laws  of any such jurisdiction.  The Borrower agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 10.16 shall have the  fullest effect permitted under applicable Law, including the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of  the United States of America (28 U.S.C.  §§1602-1611) (the “FSIA”), and are intended to be irrevocable  and not subject to withdrawal for purposes of the FSIA.   Section 10.17 USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and  not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA  Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.  L.  107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”) and the  requirements of the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information  that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number  of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable,  to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.  Section 10.18 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of the  Transactions (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any  other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’  understanding, that: (i) (A) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise  of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s- length commercial transactions between the  Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the  Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax  advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and  understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the Transactions; (ii) (A) the Administrative  Agent, the Lead Arrangers and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as  expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor,  agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, its stockholders or any of its Affiliates (irrespective of whether any  Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on  other matters), or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers nor any  Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates with respect to the Transactions  except those obligations (if any) expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the  Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders and its respective Affiliates may be engaged in  a broad range of transactions that involve economic interests that conflict with those of and the Borrower,  its stockholders and/or its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers nor any  Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates.   The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory,  fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender on the one hand,  





 






  91  and the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the  Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, each  of the Lead Arrangers, any Lender or the respective Affiliates of each of the foregoing with respect to any  breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction  contemplated hereby.  Section 10.19 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement  or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender  that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is  unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution  Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:  (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable  Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any  party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and  (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:  (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;  (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other  instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a  bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares  or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect  to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or  (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise  of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.  The provisions of this Section 10.19 are intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted in light of, Article  55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union.  Section 10.20 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.  The words  “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any Loan Document  or other document to be signed in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation,  Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications hereof, the Borrowing Request,  certificates, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching  of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent,  or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or  enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the  case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic  Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records  Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
