Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate referred to above, and, unless otherwise provided, a Series may

if such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes of such Series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional Notes
will have a separate CUSIP number.

 

Section 2.03        Execution and
Authentication.

 

One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company
by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time such Note is authenticated,
such Note shall nevertheless be valid.

 

A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by
the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note, as applicable, has been authenticated under
this Indenture.

 

The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the
Company signed by one Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue in accordance with
this Indenture. The Notes shall be dated their date of authentication.

 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent
acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference
in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights
as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

 

At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes of any Series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication,
together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order
will authenticate and deliver such Notes. In authenticating such Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in relying upon: (1) an
Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 11.04 and (2) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 11.04.

 

Section 2.04         Registrar and Paying
Agent; Depositary.

 

The Company shall maintain an office or agency
where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where
Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of
the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents
or change the office of such Registrar or Paying Agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying
Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder;
however, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent in each place of payment for the Notes of each Series. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another
entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or
Registrar.

 

The Company hereby initially appoints The Depositary
Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes for each Series.

 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act
as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

Section 2.05         Paying Agent to
Hold Money in Trust.

 

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other
than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders of any Series of Notes,
or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or interest on the Series of Notes, and shall notify
the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the
Trustee. All payments to a Paying Agent or any Notes which remain unclaimed for a period of two years after such payment was due shall
be repaid to the Company. Thereafter, the Holder may look only to the Company for repayment. Upon payment over to the Trustee, or to the
Company, as the case may be, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money.
If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of
any Series of Notes all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company,
the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

 

Section 2.06         Holder Lists.

 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form
as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of Notes and
shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, at
least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such
form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of Notes and
the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).

 

Section 2.07        Transfer and Exchange.

 

Notes may be transferred or exchanged at the office
of the Registrar or co-registrar designated by the Company. Where Notes of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar
with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of the same Series, the Registrar shall
register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and
exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes of the same Series at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made
for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer
tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06 or 9.05).

 

Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be
required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Notes of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of
business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes of that Series selected for redemption
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes of any Series selected,
called or being called for redemption as a whole or a portion thereof, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part.

 

Each Holder of a Note agrees to indemnify the Company
and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation
of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law.

 

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to
monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law
with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial
owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as
are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.08         Replacement Notes.

 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee,
or if the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall
issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order together with such indemnity or security sufficient in the judgment of
the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them
may suffer if a Note is replaced, shall authenticate a replacement Note of the same Series if the Trustee’s requirements are
met. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

 

Every replacement Note of any Series is an
additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all
other Notes of that Series duly issued hereunder.

 

Section 2.09         Outstanding Notes.

 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest
in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding.
Except as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
holds the Note.

 

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide
purchaser.

 

If the principal amount of any Note is considered
paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

 

Any Note of any Series that has been converted
or exchanged into Capital Stock or other securities or property of the Company or another Person, if the terms of such Note provides for
such conversion or exchange, will cease to be outstanding and interest on it will cease to accrue.

 

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that
date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest unless otherwise
provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate with respect to such Series.

 

Section 2.10        Treasury Notes.

 

In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Notes of a Series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as
though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction,
waiver or consent, only Notes of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

 

Section 2.11        Temporary Notes.

 

Until certificates representing Notes are ready
for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary
Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

 

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to
all of the benefits of this Indenture.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

Section 2.12        Cancellation.

 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment, replacement or cancellation and shall return such canceled Notes to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace
Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. Certification of the cancellation of all canceled
Notes will be delivered to the Company upon written request.

 

Section 2.13         Defaulted Interest.

 

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest
on a Series of Notes, and such Notes provide for the payment of default interest, the Company will pay the defaulted interest in
any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders of the Series on
a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The
Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date
shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date,
the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause
to be mailed (or, in the case of the Depositary with respect to any Global Note, sent electronically) to Holders a notice that states
the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. Subject to the foregoing, the Company may
make payment of any defaulted interest in any lawful manner deemed practicable by the Trustee and not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which the Notes of such Series may be listed

 

Section 2.14         Global Notes.

 

(a)          Terms
of Notes. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto, or an Officer’s Certificate shall establish whether the Notes
of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes and shall name the Depositary for such Global
Note or Notes. Except as provided herein, each Global Note shall be (i) registered in the name of the Depositary, (ii) deposited
with the Depositary or its nominee, and (iii) bear the legend indicated in Section 2.14(c).

than the Depositary for such Note or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange
Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within
90 days of such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such
Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes represented by such Global Note shall
have happened and be continuing. Any Global Note that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Notes
registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
Global Note with like tenor and terms.

 

Except as provided in this Section 2.14(b),
a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Note to a nominee of such Depositary,
by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary, or any such nominee to
a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.

the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. This
Note is exchangeable for Notes registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances
described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee
of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary
or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.”

 

(d)           Acts
of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture.

 

(e)           Payments.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02, payment of the
principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Note shall be made to the Holder thereof. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration
of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered
as the owner of such Note at the close of business on the regular record date for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
any premium and (subject to Section 2.13) any interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note
shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

(f)           Consents,
Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14(e), the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person

of Trustee or Agents. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary

 

Section 2.15         CUSIP Numbers.

 

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders;
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or the omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly
notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

 

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION

 

Section 3.01         Notice to Trustee.

 

The Company may, with respect to any Series of
Notes, reserve the right to redeem the Series of Notes or may covenant to redeem the Series of Notes or any part thereof prior
to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Notes. If a Series of Notes is redeemable and
the Company elects to exercise its right to redeem or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of
Notes pursuant to the terms of such Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of
Notes to be redeemed. Subject to Section 3.03, the Company shall give the notice at least 10 days prior to the redemption date (or
such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee).

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series of
Notes by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, if less than all of the Notes of a Series are
to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee (subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary) shall select the Notes of a Series to
be redeemed:(a) in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are
listed or, (b) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee
considers fair and appropriate.

 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in
writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof
to be redeemed. Notes of a Series and portions of them selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess of $2,000, or with respect to Notes of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.02(j), the minimum
principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed,
the entire outstanding amount of Note held by such Holder, even if less than $2,000 and/or not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed.
Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes of a Series called for redemption
also apply to portions of Notes of a Series called for redemption.

 

Section 3.03         Notice of Redemption.

 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by
a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before
a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or, in the case of the Depositary with respect to
any Global Note, sent electronically, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address,
except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance
of the Notes of a Series or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Notes of a Series pursuant to Articles
8 or 10 hereof.

 

The notice shall identify the Notes of the Series to
be redeemed and shall state:

 

(1)            the
redemption date;

 

(2)            the
redemption price or the method of calculating such redemption price, including any accrued and unpaid interest;

 

(3)            the
name and address of the Paying Agent;

 

(4)            that
Notes of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

 

(5)            that
interest on Notes of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

 

(6)            the
CUSIP number, if any;

 

(7)            the
conditions precedent, if any, to the redemption; and

 

(8)            any
other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series of the Notes or the Notes of a Series being redeemed.

 

At the Company’s request, and upon receipt
of an Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 11.04 hereof, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s
name and at its expense.

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

Section 3.04         Effect of Notice
of Redemption.

 

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance
with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption
price. Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s
Certificate, a notice of redemption may not be conditional.

 

Section 3.05         Deposit of Redemption
Price.

 

On or before 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the redemption
date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued
interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited
with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest
on, all Notes to be redeemed.

 

If the Company complies with the provisions of
the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called
for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any
accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record
date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply
with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and
to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01
hereof.

 

Section 3.06         Notes Redeemed
in Part.

 

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part,
the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder, at the expense of
the Company, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Company may also from time to time designate
one or more other offices or agencies where a Series of Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may
from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee for such Series of Notes of any such designation or rescission and of
any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 

With respect to each Series of Notes, the
Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.04.

 

Section 4.03         Reports.

 

The Company will at all times comply with TIA § 314(a).
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports, information and documents referred to in TIA § 314(a) to
the Trustee if the Company, as applicable, has filed such reports with the SEC via its Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System
filing system and such reports are publicly available. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which
the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).

 

Section 4.04         Compliance Certificate.

 

The Company and each guarantor of any Series of
Notes (to the extent that such guarantor is so required under the TIA) shall deliver to the Trustee with respect to such Series, within
120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and
its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining
whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each
such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled
each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions
and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of
Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that
to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal
of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company
is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

Section 4.05         Taxes.

 

The Company will pay, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good
faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders
of the Notes.

 

Section 4.06         Stay, Extension
and Usury Laws.

 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) that it will not, and each guarantor of such Notes will not, at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that
may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of such guarantors (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so), as applicable, hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort
to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee for such Notes, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 

    	 	15	 

     

    

 

Section 4.07         Corporate Existence.

 

Subject to Articles 5 hereof, the Company shall
do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

 

(a)           its
corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Significant Subsidiaries, in accordance with the
respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary;
and

 

(b)           the
rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence
of any of its Significant Subsidiaries, if an Officer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct
of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect
to the Holders of the Notes or such action is otherwise permitted by this Indenture.

for a period of 90 days after (i) the Company receives written notice from the Trustee for such Notes or (ii) the Company and
the Trustee receive written notice from Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes of that Series outstanding;
or

 

(d)         the

a voluntary case in bankruptcy,

 

(2)            consents
to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary bankruptcy case,

(2)            appoints
a custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company; or

90 consecutive days; or

 

(f)           any
other Event of Default provided with respect to Notes of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture
hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.02.

 

Section 6.02         Acceleration.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of
any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.01(d) or
(e)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of
that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Notes of that Series are Discount Notes, such portion of the principal
amount as may be specified in the terms of such Notes) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Notes of that Series to
be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration
such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.01 (d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration
or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

 

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration
with respect to any Series has been made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of that Series,
by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all existing Events of
Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or
waived and all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation expenses and disbursements of the Trustee
and its agents and counsel have been paid.

 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 6.03         Other Remedies.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of
any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Notes or this Indenture.

 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it
does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder
of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver
of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

 

Section 6.04         Waiver of Past
Defaults.

 

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes of any Series then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive
any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in
the payment of premium or interest on, or the principal of, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided,
however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any Series may rescind
an acceleration of such Notes and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any
such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

    	 	18	 

     

    

 

Section 6.05        Control by Majority.

 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes of any Series may in writing direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising
any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it, subject to Section 7.02(f). However, the Trustee
may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to
the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

 

Section 6.06         Limitation on
Suits.

 

A Holder of any Series of Notes may pursue
a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:

 

(a)            the
Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

 

(b)           the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series make a written request to the
Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

(c)           such
Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any
loss, liability or expense;

 

(d)           the
Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of
indemnity; and

 

(e)           during
such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with the request.

 

A Holder of any Series of Notes may not use
this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of such Series of Notes or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Holder of Notes of such Series.

 

Section 6.07         Rights of Holders
of Notes to Receive Payment.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture,
the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective
due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 6.08         Collection Suit
by Trustee.

 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or
(b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on
overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

 

Section 6.09         Trustee May File
Proofs of Claim.

 

The Trustee for each Series of Notes is authorized
to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors
or its properly and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other properly payable or deliverable
on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee
any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the
estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out
of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding
whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder
in any such proceeding.

First:
to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof applicable to the Notes of such Series, including
payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion
may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion
may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by
the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes of any Series.

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason,
or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding,

TRUSTEE

 

Section 7.01         Duties of Trustee.

 

(a)          If
an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

 

(b)          Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture
and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants
or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

 

(c)          In
the absence of bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements
of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated thereon).

 

(d)         The
Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own bad faith or willful
misconduct, except that:

 

(1)            this
paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

 

(2)            the
Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee
was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received
by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof; and

provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee will be under

to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

 

(e)           Whether
or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs
(a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 7.01.

The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

 

(b)           Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee
will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete
authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon.

Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent

Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights
or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute bad faith, willful misconduct
or negligence.

otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company will be sufficient if signed
by an Officer of the Company.

 

(f)            The
Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction
of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against
the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out

which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

 

(h)            In
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action.

 

(i)            The
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified,
are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person
employed to act hereunder.

Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge
thereof or unless written notice thereof is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references
the Notes and this Indenture.

of Trustee.

 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such
conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or
resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

 

Section 7.04          Trustee’s
Disclaimer.

 

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes
no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use
of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture,
it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not
be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of
the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05          Notice of Defaults.

 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within
90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice from Holders of the Notes if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers
in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

 

Section 7.06          Reports by Trustee
to Holders of the Notes.

 

(a)            Within
60 days after the first day of the Company’s fiscal year beginning with the [             ]
following the Issue Date, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will send to the Holders of the Notes a brief report
dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has
occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA
 § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

 

(b)            A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be sent by the Trustee to the Company and filed by the Trustee
with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee if and when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.

 

Section 7.07          Compensation and
Indemnity.

 

(a)            The
Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the
Trustee and the Company may agree from time to time in writing. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation
of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances
and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursement, advance or expense
that may arise from the Trustee’s willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

 

(b)            The
Company will indemnify the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from and against any and all losses,
liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this
Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending
itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable
to its bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company will defend the
claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld.

 

(c)            The
obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

(d)            To
secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money
or properly held or collected by the Trustee. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

    23

     

    

 

(e)            When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) hereof occurs,
the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

(f)            The
Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

 

Section 7.08          Replacement of Trustee.

 

(a)            A
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

 

(b)            The
Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company
with 30 days prior notice in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee with 30 days prior written notice if:

 

(1)            the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

 

(2)            the
Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

 

(3)            a
custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 

(4)            the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

 

(c)            If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

 

(d)            If
a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company,
or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction,
at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

(e)            If
the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10
hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

 

(f)            A
successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will send a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly
transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been
paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08,
the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

 

Section 7.09          Successor Trustee
by Merger, etc.

 

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without
any further act will be the successor Trustee.

 

    24

     

    

 

Section 7.10          Eligibility;
Disqualification.

 

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder
that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and
that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

 

This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies
the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(l), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).

 

Section 7.11          Preferential
Collection of Claims Against the Company.

 

The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a),
excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA
 § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

 

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

 

Section 8.01          Option to Effect
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

The Company may at any time, at the option of its
Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

 

Section 8.02          Legal Defeasance
and Discharge.

 

Unless this Section 8.02 is otherwise indicated
to be inapplicable to the Notes of a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate,
upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company will,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations
with respect to all outstanding Notes of such Series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of such Series, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only
for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below,
and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

 

(a)            the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Notes
when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

 

(b)            the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

 

(c)            the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

 

(d)            this
Article 8.

 

Subject to compliance with this Article 8,
the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03
hereof.

 

    25

     

    

 

Section 8.03          Covenant Defeasance.

 

Unless this Section 8.03 is otherwise indicated
to be inapplicable to the Notes of a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate,
upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each
of the guarantors, if any, will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from
their obligations under the covenants contained in Section 4.03 hereof as well as any additional covenants for a particular Series of
Notes contained in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(p) with
respect to the outstanding Notes of the applicable Series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding”
for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection
with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that
such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to
the outstanding Notes of such Series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition
or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to
comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder
of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof
of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, Section 6.01(c) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default.

 

Section 8.04          Conditions to
Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

 

(a)            the
Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government
Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank,
appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the outstanding
Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether
the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

 

(b)            in
the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that:

 

(1)            the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

 

(2)            since
the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such
Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(c)            in
the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that
the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 

    26

     

    

 

(d)            no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute
a default under, any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;

 

(e)            such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement
or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is bound;

 

(f)            the
Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent
of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding
any creditors of the Company or others; and

 

(g)            the
Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

 

Section 8.05          Deposited Money
and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money
and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively
for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding
Notes of any Series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture,
to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant
to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which
by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes of the applicable Series.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8
to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable
Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof),
are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

Section 8.06          Repayment to
Company.

 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying
Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Series of
Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid
to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter
be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such
trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease.

 

    27

     

    

 

Section 8.07          Reinstatement.

 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply
any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason
of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then
the Company’s and any applicable guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Notes and the guarantees
will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held
by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

 

Section 9.01          Without Consent
of Holders of Notes.

 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series of
Notes by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s Certificate, notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture,
the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes of one or more Series without the consent of any
Holder of Note:

 

(a)            to
cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to
matters or questions arising under this Indenture that shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of any Notes; provided,
however, that any amendment made solely to conform the provisions of this Indenture to the description of the Notes contained in
the prospectus or other offering document pursuant to which the Notes of one or more Series were sold will not be deemed to adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of such Notes, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate stating that such text constitutes an
unintended conflict with the description of the corresponding provision in the offering document;

 

(b)            to
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

 

(c)            to
provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Company pursuant to Article 5
hereof;

 

(d)            to
make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of all or any Series of Notes or that does not
adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder;

 

(e)            to
comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

 

(f)            to
provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Notes of any Series as permitted by this Indenture;

 

(g)            to
add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture with respect to Notes of a Series; although no such addition, change
or elimination may apply to Notes of a Series created prior to the execution of such amendment and entitled to the benefit of such
provision, nor may any such amendment modify the legal rights of a Holder of any such Note with respect to such provision, unless the
amendment becomes effective only when there is no outstanding Note of a Series created prior to such amendment and entitled to the
benefit of such provision;

 

(h)            to
secure the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture;

 

(i)            to
add guarantees with respect to the Notes of any Series or to provide security for the Notes of any Series; or

 

(j)            to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more Series and
to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the
trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee.

 

    28

     

    

 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by
a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture
authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein
contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties
or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 

Section 9.02          With Consent
of Holders of Notes.

 

The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental
indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each
Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
the Notes of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Notes of each such Series.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each
Series, by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes of such
Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes with respect to such Series.

 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its
Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence
satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described
in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless
such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise,
in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

 

After a supplemental indenture or waiver under
this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the supplemental
indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver
under this Section 9.02 may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:

 

(a)            reduce
the principal amount, any premium or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the
redemption or repurchase of the Notes;

 

(b)            reduce
the rate (or alter the method of computation) of or extend the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

 

(c)            waive
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration
of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment
default that resulted from such acceleration;

 

(d)            make
the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note payable in currency other than that stated in the Notes;

 

(e)            change
any place of payment where the Notes of any series or interest thereon is payable;

 

(f)            make
any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of the Notes to receive payments
of principal of or premium, interest, if any, on the Notes and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payments;

 

    29

     

    

 

(g)            make
any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions; or

 

(h)            reduce
the percentage in principal amount of any Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any of the foregoing modifications
or otherwise necessary to modify or amend the Indenture or to waive any past Defaults.

 

Section 9.03          Compliance with
Trust Indenture Act.

 

Every amendment to this Indenture or the Notes
of one or more Series will be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

 

Section 9.04          Revocation and
Effect of Consents.

 

Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective,
a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion
of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note.
However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written
notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance
with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

 

Section 9.05          Notation on or
Exchange of Notes.

 

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about
an amendment or waiver on any Note of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Notes of that Series may
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Notes of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

 

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue
a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.

 

Section 9.06          Trustee to Sign
Amendments, etc.

 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts
created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture,
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental
indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

 

ARTICLE 10

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

 

Section 10.01        Satisfaction
and Discharge.

 

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease
to be of further effect as to a Series of Notes issued hereunder, when:

 

(a)            either:

 

(1)            all
such Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment
money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation;
or

 

    30

     

    

 

(2)            all
such Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice
of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government
Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to
pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and
accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

 

(b)            no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting
from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute
a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any guarantor, as applicable, is a party or by which the Company, or any
guarantor, as applicable, is bound;

 

(c)            the
Company or any guarantor of such Notes has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

 

(d)            the
Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of
the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

 

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section 10.01,
the provisions of Sections 10.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge
those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

Section 10.02       Application
of Trust Money.

 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06
hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance
with the provisions of the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through
any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto,
of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply
any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s
and any applicable guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though
no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Terms Generally; GAAP.  The definitions set forth or referred to in Section 1.01 shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any reference in this Agreement to any Loan Document shall mean such document as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the proviso in the definition of “Capitalized Lease Obligations”), all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if at any time, any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement in the Loan Documents and the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment), the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such financial ratio or requirement shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such provision is amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value,” as defined therein, (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in the definition of “Consolidated Net Income” and “EBITDA”, without giving effect to the financial condition, results and performance of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
For purposes of determining compliance at any time with Article VI, in the event that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment or Disposition, as applicable, meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions or items permitted pursuant to any clause of such Sections 6.01, 6.02,6.03, 6.04 or 6.05, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may, from time to time, classify or reclassify such transaction or item (or portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) in any category. It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment or Disposition need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, 
78

Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition, Affiliate transaction, restriction on subsidiary distribution and negative pledge clauses under Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04 or 6.05, respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof.

Certain Calculations.  For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test, such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject to Section 1.10), 
79

such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts.
Limited Condition Transactions.
In connection with any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction (including any contemplated incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness in connection therewith), for purposes of:
(1)determining compliance with any provision of the Loan Documents (other than Section 6.10 hereof) that requires the calculation of the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio;
(2)determining the accuracy of representations and warranties and/or whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or any subset of Defaults or Events of Default); or
(3)testing availability under baskets set forth in the Loan Documents (including baskets measured as a percentage of EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets or by reference to the Builder Basket);
in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election, in writing to the Administrative Agent, to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or the date of delivery of the relevant notices, if any (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in EBITDA of 
80

the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations; provided, however, if any ratios improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized.
If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then, in connection with any subsequent calculation of the ratios or baskets on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated; provided that if such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any action taken where compliance of such ratios or baskets was determined or tested assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transaction in connection therewith have been consummated will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of failure to consummate such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith.
Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (i) if any asset, right, obligation, or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation, or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (ii) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interest at such time.
Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.  On each Revaluation Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Letter of Credit extensions denominated in Permitted Foreign Currencies.  Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur.  Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Borrower hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any Permitted Foreign Currency or purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE II.

The Credits
Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:
81

(1)Each Initial Term Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make an Initial Term Loan in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Initial Term Loan Commitment.
(2)Each Revolving Facility Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Facility Loans of a Class in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of such Class exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment of such Class or (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of such Class exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Facility Loans.
(3)Each Lender having an Incremental Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, to make an Incremental Loan to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Commitment.
(4)The full amount of the Term Loans pursuant to the Initial Term Loan Commitments must be drawn in a single drawing on the Closing Date. Term Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
Loans and Borrowings.
(5)Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, in accordance with the Swingline Commitment). 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, 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.
(6)Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Borrowing) shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.
(7)At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Facility Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. At the time that each ABR 
82

Revolving Facility Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided, that an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused available balance of the Revolving Facility Commitments or as contemplated by Section 2.04(c) or Section 2.05(c). Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, and after giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one type to another, and all continuations of Loans of the same type, would result in more than (i) 10 (ten) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility at any time and (ii) 6 (six) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding under each other Facility. Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.
(8)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing of any Class if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date for such Class.
Requests for Borrowings.
(9)To request a Revolving Facility Borrowing and/or a Term Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, by telephone, not later than 10:00 a.m. Local Time, on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing (or, in each case, such later time as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided, that (i) if the Borrower wishes to request Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period other than one, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them and not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the applicable Lenders and (ii) any such notice of an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing as contemplated by Section 2.04(c) or Section 2.05(c) may be given no later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (other than in the case of any notice given in respect of the Closing Date, which may be conditioned upon the consummation of the Acquisition) and (in the case of telephonic requests) shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic means to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
83

whether such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Initial Term Loans, Other Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans of a particular Class, as applicable;
the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and
the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
Swingline Loans.
(10)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender hereby agrees to make Swingline Loans under any Revolving Facility in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment or (ii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of the applicable Class exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class; provided, that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Borrowing and the Swingline Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swingline Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by the making of such Swingline Loan may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(11)To request a Swingline Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request), not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Borrowing. Each such notice and Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the requested date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (ii) the amount of the requested Swingline Borrowing. The Swingline Lender shall consult with the Administrative Agent as to whether the making of the Swingline Loan is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the Swingline Lender funding such Swingline Loan. The 
84

Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 4:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Borrower.
(12)The Swingline Lender may, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on any Business Day, require the Revolving Facility Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans made by it under such Revolving Facility. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Facility Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each such Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Facility Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of notice as provided above (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, Local Time, on a Business Day no later than 2:00 p.m. Local Time on such Business Day and if received after 12:00 noon, Local Time, on a Business Day, no later than 12:00 noon, Local Time on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Facility Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of any Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Facility Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Facility Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Facility Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided, that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
Letters of Credit.
85

(13)The Letter of Credit Commitment.    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Facility Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date for the applicable Revolving Facility, to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars or a Permitted Foreign Currency for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Revolving Facility, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.05(b), and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Facility Lenders under each Revolving Facility severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under such Revolving Facility and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure under the applicable Revolving Facility shall not exceed the Revolving Facility Commitments thereunder, (x) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment thereunder, (y) the outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations under all Revolving Facilities shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (z) unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, the outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The previously issued letters of credit listed on Schedule 2.05 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”), shall, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, be deemed to be Letters of Credit under this Agreement as of the Closing Date.
No Issuing Bank shall issue any Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility if:
subject to Section 2.05(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or the then-current expiration date, unless the Required Revolving Facility Lenders under such Revolving Facility have approved such expiry date; or
the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date for such Revolving Facility, unless (x) all the Revolving Facility Lenders under such Revolving Facility and such Issuing Bank have approved such expiry date or (y) such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized on terms and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank.
No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of 
86

Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it;
the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally;
except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount of less than $250,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof;
[reserved];
any Revolving Facility Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including for the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or reasonably determined potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such Issuing Bank has actual or reasonably determined potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion); or
the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.
No Issuing Bank shall amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank would not have been permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Section 2.05(a).
No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(f), each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Revolving Facility Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it under such Revolving Facility and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by 
87

such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article VIII included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Banks.
Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Facility Lenders and the Borrower. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, reinstate, or increase any existing Letter of Credit.
For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provisions hereunder, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as an Issuing Bank, shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit other than a standby Letter of Credit.
(14)Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Request may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable Issuing Bank, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to such Issuing Bank. Such Letter of Credit Request must be received by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) if more than one Revolving Facility is then in effect, the Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit is to be issued; and (H) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may reasonably request. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to 
88

such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request pursuant to its policies of general applicability to other account parties for whom such Issuing Bank issues letters of credit.
Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the applicable Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable Issuing Bank has received written notice from the Required Revolving Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied (solely with respect to an issuance), then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or issue the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit under a Revolving Facility and each amendment increasing the amount of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Facility Lender under such Revolving Facility shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Revolving Facility times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, an Issuing Bank shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Facility Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date of the applicable Revolving Facility; provided, however, that no Issuing Bank shall permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.05(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Facility Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.
89

Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, each Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(15)Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of a compliant drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. one Business Day after the date of notice of any payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit or, if the Borrower shall have received such notice from the Issuing Bank later than 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the next Business Day (each such date of payment by an Issuing Bank, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing; provided that, in the case of a drawing in a Permitted Foreign Currency, the applicable Issuing Bank may require the Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Permitted Foreign Currency drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Facility Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of ABR Revolving Facility Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility to be disbursed on such date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Facility Commitments under Section 4.02 and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
Each Revolving Facility Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to its applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(c)(iii), each Revolving Facility Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Revolving Facility Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Bank.
With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Facility Borrowing of ABR Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from 
90

the applicable Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Facility Loans of the applicable Class. In such event, each Revolving Facility Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.05; provided that the amount of any drawing that is not reimbursed on the Honor Date shall bear interest at the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Facility Loans from and including the date of drawing to but excluding the date such amount becomes an Unreimbursed Amount.
Until each Revolving Facility Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility funds its Revolving Facility Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Bank.
Each Revolving Facility Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Facility Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the Issuing Banks for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.05(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Facility Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Facility Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse any Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
If any Revolving Facility Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time specified in Section 2.05(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (minus the foregoing interest and fees) shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Facility Loan included in the relevant Revolving Facility Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of an Issuing Bank submitted to any 
91

Revolving Facility Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.05(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(16)Repayment of Participations.
At any time after an Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Facility Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.05(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.22 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Revolving Facility Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(17)Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Bank or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
92

waiver by such Issuing Bank of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Bank’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by such Issuing Bank which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;
honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;
any payment made by such Issuing Bank in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC or the ISP or other applicable rules or the express terms of the Letter of Credit, as applicable;
any payment by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the relevant Issuing Bank. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the relevant Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(18)Role of Issuing Banks.  Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, other than in respect of any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit, no Issuing Bank shall have any responsibility to obtain any document or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Banks shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Facility Lenders or the Required Revolving Facility Lenders, as applicable, under the applicable Revolving Facility; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary 
93

or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.05(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, or such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms of the Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no Issuing Bank shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Any Issuing Bank may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.
(19)Applicability of ISP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall be stated therein to apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and no Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including any Requirements of Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.
(20)Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(21)Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such subsidiaries.

(22)Cash Collateralization Following Certain Events.  If and when the Borrower is required to Cash Collateralize any Revolving L/C Exposure relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to any of Section 2.11(d), 2.11(e), 2.24(a)(v) or 7.01, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with or at the direction of the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Facility Lenders under each Revolving Facility, an amount in cash equal to 102% of the Revolving L/C Exposure under such Revolving Facility as of such date plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (or, in the case of Sections 2.11(d), 2.11(e) and 2.24(a)(v), the portion thereof required by such sections). Each deposit of Cash Collateral (x) made pursuant to this paragraph or (y) made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.24(a)(ii), in each case, shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrower hereby grants the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in such account. Such deposits shall not bear interest. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for any disbursements under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Loan Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender or the occurrence of a limit under Section 2.11(d) or (e) being exceeded, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or the termination of the Defaulting Lender status or the limits under Sections 2.11(d) and (e) no longer being exceeded, as applicable.
(23)Additional Issuing Banks.  From time to time, the Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate any Revolving Facility Lender (in addition to the initial Issuing Banks) which agrees (in its sole discretion) to act in such capacity and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as an Issuing Bank. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes.
(24)Reporting.  Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank (other than the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates) shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b) no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof (or, if earlier, the time specified thereon) and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), and 
95

the Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit if the Administrative Agent shall not have advised the Issuing Bank that such issuance, amendment or extension would not be in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, (B) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any disbursement under any Letter of Credit, the date of such disbursement and the amount of such disbursement and (C) on any other Business Day, such other information with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
(25)Amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, each reference to an “amount” in this Section 2.05 that describes an obligation in respect of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to refer to the Dollar amount or the Permitted Foreign Currency amount, as applicable. 
Funding of Borrowings.
(26)Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided, that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided, that Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of any disbursement under any Letter of Credit and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(c) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.
(27)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of such Borrowing) 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 clause (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such 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 (A) the Federal Funds Rate and (B) 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 interest rate then applicable to ABR Loans of the applicable Class. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. The foregoing shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
Interest Elections.
96

(28)Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type, and under the applicable Class, specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.07 shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.07, the Borrower shall not be permitted to change the Class of any Borrowing.
(29)To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (by telephone or irrevocable written notice), by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type and Class resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic means to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section 2.07 shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to (i) elect an Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (ii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of Commitments or Loans pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.
(30)Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall be in an integral multiple of the 
97

Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and satisfy the limitations specified in Section 2.02(d) regarding the maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type.
(31)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(32)If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then current Interest Period.
Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(33)Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Facility Commitments of each Class shall automatically and permanently terminate on the applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date for such Class. On the Closing Date (after giving effect to the funding of the Initial Term Loans to be made on such date), the Initial Term Loan Commitments of each Term Lender with an Initial Term Loan Commitment as of the Closing Date will automatically and permanently terminate.
(34)The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class; provided, that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11 and any Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(j), as applicable, the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of such Class (excluding any Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit, to the extent so Cash Collateralized) would exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class.
(35)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class under clause (b) of this Section 2.08 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination or 
98

reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(36)The Borrower hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date applicable to such Revolving Facility Loans, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made under any Revolving Facility on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date for such Revolving Facility; provided, that on each date that a Revolving Facility Borrowing is made by the Borrower, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.
(37)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.
(38)The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility, Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(39)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Section 2.09 shall be prima facie evidence 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.
(40)Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, or in another form approved by such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in their sole discretion. Thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Lender, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) 
99

be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if requested by such payee, to such payee and its registered assigns).
Repayment of Term Loans and Revolving Facility Loans and Prepayment Procedures.
(41)Subject to the other clauses of this Section 2.10 and to Section 9.08(e),
the Borrower shall repay principal of outstanding Initial Term Loans on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year (commencing on the last Business Day of the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower commencing after the Closing Date) and on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date (each such date being referred to as an “Initial Term Loan Installment Date”), in an aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans equal to (i) for each Initial Term Loan Installment Date prior to the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans incurred on the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of such payment due on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, an amount equal to the then unpaid principal amount of such Initial Term Loans outstanding;
in the event that any Other Term Loans are made, the Borrower shall repay such Other Term Loans on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the related Incremental Assumption Agreement, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment (each such date being referred to as an “Other Term Loan Installment Date”); and
to the extent not previously paid, all outstanding Term Loans shall be due and payable on the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date.
(42)To the extent not previously paid, all outstanding Revolving Facility Loans and Swingline Loans shall be due and payable on the applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date.
(43)Any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c) shall be applied so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Initial Term Loans and the Other Term Loans, if any, pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Initial Term Loans and Other Term Loans, if any, to reduce amounts due on the succeeding Term Loan Installment Dates for such Classes; provided, that, subject to the pro rata application to Loans outstanding within any respective Class of Loans, with respect to mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(1) and 2.11(c), any Class of Other Term Loans may receive less than its pro rata share thereof (so long as the amount by which its pro rata share exceeds the amount actually applied to such Class is applied to repay (on a pro rata basis) the outstanding Initial Term Loans and any other Classes of then outstanding Other Term Loans, in each case to the extent the respective Class receiving less than its pro rata share has consented thereto). Any optional prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied to the remaining installments of the Term Loans under the applicable Class or Classes as the Borrower may in each case direct.
Prior to any prepayment of any Loan under any Facility hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings under the applicable Facility to be prepaid and shall notify 
100

the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by electronic means) of such selection not later than (i) 10:00 a.m., Local Time, in the case of an ABR Borrowing or any Swingline Loan, on the scheduled date of such prepayment and (ii) 2:00 p.m., Local Time, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, at least three (3) Business Days before the scheduled date of such prepayment (or, in each case, such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and Swingline Lender, if applicable)). Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent (and Swingline Lender, if applicable) on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of the Revolving Facility of any Class, shall be applied to the Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon its respective Revolving Facility Percentage of such Class at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. All repayments of Loans shall be accompanied by (1) accrued interest on the amount repaid to the extent required by Section 2.13(d) and (2) break funding payments pursuant to Section 2.16. In connection with any prepayment of any Loan of any Lender hereunder that would otherwise occur from the proceeds of new Loans being funded hereunder on the date of such prepayment, if agreed to by the Borrower and such Lender in a writing provided to the Administrative Agent, the portion of the existing Loan of such Lender that would otherwise be prepaid on such date may instead be converted on a “cashless roll” basis into a like principal amount of the new Loans being funded on such date.
(44)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(1) or 2.11(c) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term Lender of the contents of any such prepayment notice and of such Term Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s pro rata share of each relevant Class of the Term Loans). Any Term Lender (a “Declining Term Lender”) may elect, by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day after the date of such Term Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment, that the full amount of any mandatory prepayment otherwise required to be made with respect to the Term Loans held by such Term Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(1) or 2.11(c) not be made (the aggregate amount of such prepayments declined by the Declining Term Lenders, the “Declined Prepayment Amount”). If a Term Lender fails to deliver notice setting forth such rejection of a prepayment to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Prepayment Amount which would otherwise have been applied to such Term Loans of the Declining Term Lenders shall instead be retained by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may, at its option, apply any amounts retained in 
101

accordance with the immediately preceding sentence to prepay loans in accordance with Section 2.11(a) below.
Prepayment of Loans.
(45)The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.12(d), Section 2.12(e) and Section 2.16 and subject to prior notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10(c)), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with the first sentence of Section 2.10(d).
(46)Following the Closing Date, the Borrower shall make a prepayment in an amount equal to (1) the amount of all Net Proceeds (other than Net Proceeds of the kind described in the following clauses (2) and (3)) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof to prepay Term Loans in accordance with clauses (c) and (d) of Section 2.10; and (2) the amount of all Net Proceeds from any issuance or incurrence of Refinancing Notes, Refinancing Term Loans and Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments (other than solely by means of extending or renewing then existing Refinancing Notes, Refinancing Term Loans and Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments without resulting in any Net Proceeds) no later than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such Refinancing Notes, Refinancing Term Loans and Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments are issued or incurred, to prepay Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Commitments in accordance with Section 2.23 and the definition of “Refinancing Notes” (as applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent that (A) any or all of the Net Proceeds from any Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited by any Requirement of Law from being loaned, distributed or otherwise transferred to Borrower (provided that the Borrower and such Subsidiary shall take all commercially reasonable actions available under local law to permit such repatriation or to remove such prohibitions) or any Domestic Subsidiary or materially adverse consequences (including Tax consequences) to the Borrower or any Subsidiary (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) would result therefrom or (B) any or all of the Net Proceeds received by a Subsidiary other than a Guarantor are prohibited from being transferred to the Borrower for application in accordance with this Section 2.11(b) by any applicable organizational documents, joint venture agreement, shareholder agreement, or similar agreement or any other contractual obligation with an unaffiliated third party (including any agreement governing Indebtedness) that was not created in contemplation of such event resulting in Net Proceeds, then in each case the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied at the times provided in this Section 2.11(b) but may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary or applied in any other manner not prohibited by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Borrower be required to repatriate cash held at a Foreign Subsidiary in order to make a required mandatory prepayment; provided that, for the sake of clarity, this sentence shall not impact the obligation of the Borrower to make any such prepayment.
(47)Not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the annual financial statements are, or are required to be, delivered under Section 5.04(a) with respect to each Excess 
102

Cash Flow Period, the Borrower shall calculate the Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such Excess Cash Flow Period and the Borrower shall apply an amount to prepay Term Loans equal to (i) the Required Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus, without duplication of any amount deducted from Consolidated Net Income in calculating Excess Cash Flow for such period, (ii) to the extent not financed using the proceeds of funded Indebtedness (other than revolving indebtedness), the sum of (a) the amount of any voluntary payments of Term Loans and amounts used to repurchase outstanding principal of Term Loans during such Excess Cash Flow Period pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and Section 2.25 (it being understood that the amount of any such payments pursuant to Section 2.25 shall be calculated to equal the amount of cash used to repay principal and not the principal amount deemed prepaid therewith), (b) the amount of any voluntary payments of Revolving Facility Loans to the extent that Revolving Facility Commitments are terminated or reduced pursuant to Section 2.08 by the amount of such payments and (c) the amount used to fund voluntary prepayments, voluntary repurchases or voluntary redemptions of any other Indebtedness, in each case to the extent secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations under this Agreement (other than Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility except to the extent there is a corresponding reduction in the commitments thereunder), plus, in each case, at the option of the Borrower and without duplication of any amounts previously deducted under this clause (ii), the amount of any such voluntary payments, voluntary repurchases or voluntary redemptions of such Indebtedness after the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period but before the date of prepayment under this clause (c). Such calculation will be set forth in a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount, if any, of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, the amount of any required prepayment in respect thereof and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent that (A) any or all of Excess Cash Flow that is attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary is prohibited by any Requirement of Law from being loaned, distributed or otherwise transferred to Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary (provided that the Borrower and such Subsidiary shall take all commercially reasonable actions available under local law to permit such repatriation or to remove such prohibitions) or materially adverse Tax consequences (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) would result therefrom or (B) any or all of the Excess Cash Flow that is attributable to a Subsidiary other than a Guarantor are prohibited from being transferred to the Borrower for application in accordance with this Section 2.11(c) by any applicable organizational documents, joint venture agreement, shareholder agreement, or similar agreement or any other contractual obligation with an unaffiliated third party (including any agreement governing Indebtedness), then the portion of such Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied at the times provided in this Section 2.11(c) but may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary or applied in any other manner not prohibited by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Borrower be required to repatriate cash held at a Foreign Subsidiary in order to make a required mandatory prepayment; provided that, for the sake of clarity, this sentence shall not impact the obligation of the Borrower to make any such prepayment
(48)In the event (other than as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of the Revolving Exposure on any Revaluation Date) that the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such 
103

Class, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Facility Borrowings and/or Swingline Borrowings of such Class (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, provide Cash Collateral in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.  In addition, if solely as a result of changes in the exchange rate of any Permitted Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that either (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Class exceeds the total Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class, then in either such case the Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice, provide Cash Collateral in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit denominated in such Permitted Foreign Currency in an aggregate amount such that the applicable exposure does not exceed the applicable amount set forth above. 
(49)Prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be in accordance with the procedures specified in clauses (c) and (d) of Section 2.10 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that Term Lenders may decline such prepayments and the Borrower may retain any Declined Prepayment Amount).
Fees.
(50)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, on the first Business Day following the end of each March, June, September and December (commencing on the first such Business Day that is at least three months after the Closing Date) and on the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of any Class of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) in Dollars on the daily amount of the applicable Available Unused Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the last of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last) in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein.

104

Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Revolving Facility Borrowings of such Class effective for each day in such period, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account (x) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing on the last Business Day of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the Closing Date) and on the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated, a fronting fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum to be agreed between the Borrower or such Issuing Bank (but not in any event to exceed 0.125% per annum) of the daily available amount of such Letter of Credit (or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, or with respect to any additional Issuing Bank designated in accordance with Section 2.05(k) after the Closing Date, such greater amount as may be agreed with the Borrower), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment, cancellation, document examination, presentment, renewal, extension or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”).

(53)If any Repricing Event occurs prior to the date occurring 12 months (the “Soft Call Date”) after the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Term Lender with Initial Term Loans that are subject to such Repricing Event, a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans subject to such Repricing Event. Such fees shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of the occurrence of the respective Repricing Event. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Soft Call Date, the Initial Term Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.
(54)All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.
(55)On the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a fee of 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by each Lender.

Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
(61)Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates. If the Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” such Benchmark Replacement will become effective as of the Reference Time on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement. If the Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of 
106

“Benchmark Replacement,” such Benchmark Replacement will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement 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.  The parties hereto shall take commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to ensure that any changes pursuant to this Section 2.14 qualify for either of the safe harbors under proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-6(b)(2)(ii) (or any successors thereto) or as a modification described in Section 4.02 of Rev. Proc. 2020-44.
(62)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the implementation 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.
(63)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 or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of Term SOFR pursuant to clause (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14 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 sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.
(64)Unavailability of Tenor of Term SOFR.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time and with respect to any Interest Period, if the Benchmark at such time is Term SOFR and Term SOFR for the applicable tenor 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, the Administrative Agent may (i) modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all determinations of interest at or after such time to remove such unavailable tenor and (ii) if Term SOFR, as applicable, for the applicable tenor is displayed on such screen or information service after its removal pursuant to clause (i) above, modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all determinations of interest at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(65)Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, 
107

converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark will not be used in any determination of ABR.
(66)Certain Defined Terms.  As used in this Section 2.14:
“Benchmark” means, initially, LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has become effective pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.14.
“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Interest Period, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:
(1) the sum of: (a) Term SOFR or, if the Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR for the applicable Corresponding Tenor cannot be determined, Next Available Term SOFR, and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
(2) the sum of: (a) Compounded SOFR and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body at such time or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
provided that, in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, such rate, or the underlying rates component thereof, is or are displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate or rates from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than zero, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, for any Interest Period:
(1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:
108

(a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;
(b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to USD LIBOR for the Corresponding Tenor; and
(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body at such time or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time;
provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.
“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 “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information

referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark;
(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or
(3) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the first Business Day after the Rate Election Notice is provided to each of the other parties hereto.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.
“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;
(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or
(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.
“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark and solely to the extent that the then-current Benchmark has not been replaced with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the period (x) beginning at the time that such Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section 2.14 
110

and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section 2.14.
“Compounded SOFR” means the compounded average of SOFRs for the applicable Corresponding Tenor, with the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate (which may include compounding in arrears with a lookback and/or suspension period as a mechanism to determine the interest amount payable prior to the end of each Interest Period) being established by the Administrative Agent in accordance with:
(1)the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining compounded SOFR; provided that:
(2)if, and to the extent that, the Administrative Agent determines that Compounded SOFR cannot be determined in accordance with clause (1) above, then the rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate that the Administrative Agent determines are substantially consistent with at least five currently outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time (as a result of amendment or as originally executed) that are publicly available for review;
provided, further, that if the Administrative Agent decides that any such rate, methodology or convention determined in accordance with clause (1) or clause (2) is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, then Compounded SOFR will be deemed unable to be determined for purposes of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement.”
“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to a Benchmark Replacement means a tenor (including overnight) having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the applicable tenor for the applicable Interest Period with respect to the then-current Benchmark.
“Early Opt-in Election” means the occurrence of:
(1) a notification by the Administrative Agent to (or the request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to notify) each of the other parties hereto that at least five currently outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time contain (as a result of amendment or as originally executed) as a benchmark interest rate, in lieu of LIBOR, Term SOFR plus a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment (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, the Borrower and the Required Lenders by affirmative vote to declare that an Early Opt-in Election has 
111

occurred and the provision by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to each of the other parties hereto (the “Rate Election Notice”).

Increased Costs.
1.If any Change in Law shall:
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Bank; or
112

subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Tax with respect to any Loan Document (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 or (ii) Excluded Taxes); or
impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London or other relevant interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, then the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) such Lender invokes Section 2.20 or (z) in the case of any request for reimbursement under clause (iii) above resulting from a market disruption, (A) the relevant circumstances do not generally affect the banking market or (B) the applicable request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders.
2.If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans or Commitments made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then within 30 days of receipt by the Borrower of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.15(c) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
3.A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that any such certificate claiming amounts described in clause (x) or (y) of the definition of “Change in Law” shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers, which as a credit matter, are similarly situated to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions.
113

4.Promptly after any Lender or Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(c)) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
Taxes.
5.All payments made by or on behalf of a Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings as are reasonably determined by the applicable withholding 
114

agent to be required by any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, and (iii) to the extent withholding or deduction is required to be made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions and withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by a Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of a Lender, as the case may be, a copy of an official receipt issued by the relevant 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 or such Lender, as applicable. Without duplication, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Requirements of Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
6.Without duplication of amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17(a), the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes imposed on or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
7.The Borrower shall, without duplication of any additional amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iii) or any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17(b), indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
8.Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time(s) and in the manner(s) prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or 
115

reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (d)(i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(C), (ii)(D), and (iii), and paragraph (f) of this Section 2.17) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
Each person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 9.04 or a Lender pursuant to Section 9.04 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) and Section 2.17(f); provided that a Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements only to the participating Lender.
Each Lender and Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver, at the time(s) and in the manner prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (as applicable), a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 or any successor form, certifying that such person is exempt from U.S. backup withholding Tax on payments made hereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, 
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

The Administrative Agent and each Lender (A) shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstance that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) agrees that if any form or 
117

certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17 expires or becomes inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly (x) update such form or certification or (y) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
On or before the date that Goldman Sachs Bank USA (and any successor or replacement Administrative Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Borrower a duly completed and executed copy of either (i) IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) or (ii) a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form) evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person (with respect to amounts received on account of any Lender) and IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) (with respect to amounts received on its own account), with the effect that, in any case, the Borrower will be entitled to make payments hereunder to the Administrative Agent without withholding or deduction on account of U.S. federal withholding Tax.  
9.If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, determines in good faith that it has received a refund of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a payment has been made by a Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Loan Party, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Loan Party for such amount (net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) as the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines in good faith to the be the portion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any Taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the Indemnified Tax or Other Tax giving rise to such refund had not been imposed in the first instance; provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender or the Administrative Agent agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest (solely with respect to the time period during which the Loan Party actually held such funds, except to the extent that the refund was initially claimed at the written request of such Loan Party) or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event the Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender or the Administrative Agent may delete any information therein that it deems confidential). A Lender or the Administrative Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. No Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party in connection with this clause (e) or any other provision of this Section 2.17. 
118

For purposes of this clause (e), all references to “refund” shall include the monetary benefit of a credit received in lieu of a refund.
10.If a payment made to any Lender or any Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or such Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or such Agent 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, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
11.Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17(d) or (f).
12.The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document.
For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable Requirement of Law” includes FATCA.
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
13.Unless otherwise specified (including in Section 2.17(a)), the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of any disbursement under any Letter of Credit, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for 
119

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 made under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.
14.If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans or participations in any disbursement under any Letter of Credit or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in any disbursement under any Letter of Credit and Swingline 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 Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in any disbursement under any Letter of Credit and Swingline Loans of such Class of such other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders ratably in accordance with the principal amount of each such Lender’s respective Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in any disbursement under any Letter of Credit and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon; 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 clause (c) 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 or participations in any disbursement under any Letter of Credit to any assignee or participant. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
15.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 relevant Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the relevant Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the relevant Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds 
120

Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
16.Subject to Section 2.24, if any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06, or 2.18(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (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 any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section; in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
17.If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.20 or any event that gives rise to the operation of Section 2.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.20 or any event that gives rise to the operation of Section 2.20 and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
18.If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 (in excess of that being charged by other Lenders under the applicable Facility) or gives notice under Section 2.20, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 (in a material amount in excess of that being charged by other Lenders), or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require any such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank), to the extent consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in any disbursement under any Letter of Credit and Swingline Loans, accrued 
121

interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with any applicable Requirement of Law. 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. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. No action by or consent of the removed Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such removed Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04, provided, that if such removed Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 (but only on the part of the removed Lender) shall not be required to effect such assignment.
19.If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or consent which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all Lenders or all of the Lenders adversely affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(C)) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to (and any such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Borrower’s request) assign its Loans and its Commitments (or, at the Borrower’s option, the Loans and Commitments under the Facility that is the subject of the proposed amendment, waiver or consent) hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to (i) the Administrative Agent (unless, in the case of a Term Loan, such assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) and (ii) if in respect of any Revolving Facility Commitment, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank; provided, that: (i) all Loan Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced in respect of the assigned interest shall be paid in full in same day funds to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the Borrower shall pay any amount required by Section 2.12(d), if applicable, and (iii) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver or consent. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 (but only on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender) shall not be required to effect such assignment.
122

Illegality.  If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar 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, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the ABR, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the ABR, 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, (x) the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all Eurodollar Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings (the interest rate on such ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the ABR), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the ABR applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
Incremental Commitments.
20.The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, as applicable, in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount available at the time such Incremental Term Loans are funded or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are established from one or more Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders (which, in each case, may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, as the case may be, in their sole discretion (and no approval of any existing Lender other than in its capacity, if any, as a lender providing all or part of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving facility Commitments shall be required); provided, that each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender providing a commitment to make revolving loans shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, to the extent the same would be required for an assignment under Section 9.04, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Such notice shall set forth (i) the 
123

amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000, or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount or, in each case, such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are requested to become effective and (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments, whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be (x) commitments to make term loans with terms identical to (and which shall together with any then outstanding Initial Term Loans form a single Class of) Initial Term Loans or (y) commitments to make term loans with pricing, maturity, amortization, participation in mandatory prepayments and/or other terms different from the Initial Term Loans (“Other Incremental Term Loans”).
21.The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments; provided, that:
any (x) commitments to make additional Initial Term Loans shall have the same terms as the Initial Term Loans, and shall form part of the same Class as the Initial Term Loans and (y) Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments shall have the same terms as the then outstanding Class of Revolving Facility Commitments (or, if more than one Class of Revolving Facility Commitments is then outstanding, the Revolving Facility Commitments with the then latest Revolving Facility Maturity Date) and shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Maturity Date of all then outstanding Revolving Facility Commitments,
the Other Incremental Term Loans incurred pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be entitled to benefit from the same guarantees as, and shall be entitled to be secured on a pari passu or junior basis by the same Collateral securing the Initial Term Loans (subject, in the case of any Incremental Term Loans secured on a junior basis, to a customary and reasonably satisfactory Intercreditor Agreement),
except in the case of a bridge loan the terms of which provide for an automatic extension of the maturity date thereof to a date that is not earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date in effect at the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans and, subject to clause (i) above, except as to pricing, amortization, final maturity date and participation in mandatory prepayments (which shall, subject to the other clauses of this proviso, be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders in their sole discretion), shall have terms that are reasonably satisfactory in all respects to the Administrative Agent to the extent that such terms, 
124

except to the extent set forth above or below, are not substantially similar to the Initial Term Loans; provided, that any terms (x) that are added for the benefit of the Initial Term Lenders and the Revolving Facility Lenders pursuant to an amendment hereto (with no consent of the Lenders being required) or (y) that are only applicable to periods after the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, in each case, shall be deemed reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
except in the case of a bridge loan the terms of which provide for an automatic extension of the maturity date thereof to a date that is not earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loans that are not Initial Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans,
with respect to any Incremental Term Loan secured on a pari passu basis with the Loan Obligations, the All-in Yield shall be as agreed by the respective Incremental Term Lenders and the Borrowers, except that the All-in Yield in respect of any such Incremental Term Loan may exceed the All-in Yield in respect of the Initial Term Loans by no more than 0.50%, or if it does so exceed such All-in Yield (such difference, the “Term Yield Differential”) then the Applicable Margin (or the “LIBOR floor” as provided in the following proviso) applicable to such Initial Term Loans shall be increased such that after giving effect to such increase, the Term Yield Differential shall not exceed 0.50%; provided, that to the extent any portion of the Term Yield Differential is attributable to a higher “LIBOR floor” being applicable to such Incremental Term Loans, such floor shall only be included in the calculation of the Term Yield Differential to the extent such floor is greater than the Eurodollar Rate in effect for an Interest Period of three months’ duration at such time, and, with respect to such excess, the “LIBOR floor” applicable to the outstanding Initial Term Loans shall be increased to an amount not to exceed the “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Incremental Term Loans prior to any increase in the Applicable Margin applicable to such Initial Term Loans then outstanding (this clause (v), the “MFN Provision”),
such Other Incremental Term Loans may require participation on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) with the Initial Term Loans in any mandatory prepayment hereunder,
such Other Incremental Term Loans may require participation on a pro rata basis or non-pro rata basis with the Initial Term Loans in any voluntary prepayment hereunder,
there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrower) or guarantor (other than the Guarantors) in respect of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments,
any Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment will be documented solely as an increase to the commitments with respect to the Revolving Facility Commitments, without any change in terms except for such upfront fees as may be agreed between the 
125

Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments and the Borrower; and
Other Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments shall not be secured by any asset of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral.
Each party hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21 and any such collateral and other documentation shall be deemed “Loan Documents” hereunder and may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.
22.Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.21 unless (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, that in the event that any tranche of Incremental Term Loans is used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, (A) to the extent the Incremental Term Lenders participating in such tranche of Incremental Term Loans agree, the foregoing clause (i) shall be tested at the time of the execution of the acquisition agreement, the declaration of the dividend by the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or the giving of the irrevocable notice of repayment or redemption, as applicable related to such Limited Condition Transaction and (B) no Event of Default shall exist under Section 7.01(b) or 7.01(c) or, with respect to the Borrower only, under Sections 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) at the time such Incremental Term Loans are incurred; (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than to the extent qualified by materiality or “Material Adverse Effect,” in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct); provided, that in the event that the tranche of Incremental Term Loans is used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction and to the extent the Incremental Term Lenders participating in such tranche of Incremental Term Loans agree, the foregoing clause (ii) shall be limited to the Specified Representations (with the representation in Section 3.18 made on the date of funding of such Incremental Term Loans and after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions on such date in connection therewith) and those representations of the seller or the target company (as applicable) included in the acquisition agreement related to the person or business to be acquired that are material to the interests of the Lenders and only to the extent that the Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such acquisition agreement as a result of a failure of such representations to be accurate; and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents and legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date as to such matters as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption Agreement.
126

23.Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that (i) all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Incremental Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the outstanding applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis, and (ii) all Revolving Facility Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the applicable Class of outstanding Revolving Facility Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrower agrees that Section 2.16 shall apply to any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.
Extensions of Loans and Commitments.
24.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(b) (which provisions shall not be applicable to this Section 2.22), pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Commitments on a pro rata basis (based, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Class of Term Loans, on the aggregate outstanding Term Loans of such Class and, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Revolving Facility, on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Facility Commitments under such Revolving Facility, as applicable), and on the same terms to each such Lender (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”), the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders that agree to such transactions from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including, without limitation, increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean, (i) in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Class of Term Loans, that all of the Term Loans of such Class are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same and (ii) in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Revolving Facility, that all of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Facility are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same. Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between the Borrower and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by implementing an Other Term Loan for such Lender if such Lender is extending an existing Term Loan (such extended Term Loan, an “Extended Term Loan”) or an Other Revolving Facility Commitment for such Lender if such Lender is extending an existing Revolving Facility Commitment (such extended Revolving Facility Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Facility Commitment,” and any Revolving Facility Loan made pursuant to such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Loan”). Each Pro Rata Extension Offer shall specify the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Extended Term Loan shall be made or the proposed Extended Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective, which shall be a date not earlier than five (5) Business Days after the date on which notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).
127

25.The Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an amendment to this Agreement (an “Extension Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments of such Extending Lender. Each Extension Amendment shall specify the terms of the applicable Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments; provided, that (i) except as to interest rates, fees and any other pricing terms, and amortization, final maturity date and participation in prepayments and commitment reductions (which shall, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this proviso, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), the Extended Term Loans shall have the same terms as the existing Class of Term Loans from which they are extended except for any terms which shall not apply until after the then Latest Maturity Date, (ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Facility Maturity Date of the Class of Term Loans subject to such Pro Rata Extension Offer, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Term Loans to which such offer relates, (iv) except as to interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), any Extended Revolving Facility Commitment shall have the same terms as the existing Class of Revolving Facility Commitments from which they are extended except for any terms which shall not apply until after the then Latest Maturity Date and, in respect of any other terms that would affect the rights or duties of any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, and (v) any Extended Term Loans may require participation on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) than the Initial Term Loans in any mandatory prepayment hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. If provided in any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Revolving Facility Commitments, and with the consent of the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank, participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to lenders holding such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments in the manner specified in such Extension Amendment, including upon effectiveness of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment or upon or prior to the maturity date for any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments.
26.Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Term Loan will be automatically designated an Extended Term Loan and/or such Extending Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Facility Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (i) if such Extending Lender is extending a Term Loan, such Extending Lender will be deemed to have an Other Term Loan having the terms of such Extended Term Loan and (ii) if such Extending Lender is extending a Revolving Facility Commitment, such Extending Lender will 
128

be deemed to have an Other Revolving Facility Commitment having the terms of such Extended Revolving Facility Commitment.
27.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.22), (i) no Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Facility Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Term Loan and/or Extended Revolving Facility Commitment), (iii) there shall be no condition to any Extension of any Loan or Commitment at any time or from time to time other than notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Facility Commitment implemented thereby, (iv) all Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Facility Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations of the relevant Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that rank equally and ratably in right of security with all other Obligations of the Class being extended (and all other Obligations secured by the same priority of Lien securing the Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans being extended), (v) no Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be obligated to provide Swingline Loans or issue Letters of Credit under such Extended Revolving Facility Commitments unless it shall have consented thereto and (vi) there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrower) and no guarantors (other than the Guarantors) in respect of any such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Facility Commitments.
28.Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided, that the Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.
Refinancing Amendments.
29.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(b) (which provisions shall not be applicable to this Section 2.23), the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time after the Closing Date establish one or more additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (such loans, “Refinancing Term Loans”), all Net Proceeds of which are used to Refinance in whole or in part any Class of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(2). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not earlier than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided, that:
after giving effect to the borrowing of such Refinancing Term Loans on the Refinancing Effective Date each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied;
129

the final maturity date of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no earlier than the earlier of (x) the final maturity date of the refinanced Indebtedness and (y) the Latest Maturity Date in effect at the time of incurrence thereof;
the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the lesser of (x) the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the refinanced Indebtedness and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Term Loans then outstanding with the greatest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity;
the aggregate principal amount of the Refinancing Term Loans shall not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the refinanced Indebtedness plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including original issue discount) and accrued interest associated therewith;
all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates and any other pricing terms and optional prepayment or mandatory prepayment terms, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans) shall be substantially similar to, or (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans, taken as a whole, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith, than the terms applicable to the Term Loans being refinanced (except to the extent such covenants and other terms (x) apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date, (y) are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (z) reflect market terms and conditions (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) at the time of incurrence);
there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrower) and no guarantors (other than the Guarantors) in respect of such Refinancing Term Loans;
Refinancing Term Loans shall not be secured by any asset of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral;
Refinancing Term Loans may participate (x) on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments (other than as provided otherwise in the case of such prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(2)) hereunder and (y) on a pro-rata or on a non-pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment;
30.The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted Assignee pursuant to Section 9.04 to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans; provided, that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan. Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, further, that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent provided in the applicable 
130

Refinancing Amendment governing such Refinancing Term Loans, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Term Loans made to the Borrower.
31.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.18(b) (which provisions shall not be applicable to this Section 2.23), the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time after the Closing Date establish one or more additional Facilities (each, a “Replacement Revolving Facility”) providing for revolving commitments (“Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments” and the revolving loans thereunder, “Replacement Revolving Loans”), which replace in whole or in part any Class of Revolving Facility Commitments under this Agreement. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided, that: (i) after giving effect to the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments on the Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; (ii) after giving effect to the establishment of any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and any concurrent reduction in the aggregate amount of any other Revolving Facility Commitments, the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including upfront fees) and accrued interest associated therewith; (iii) no Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall have a final maturity date (or require commitment reductions or amortizations) prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date for the Revolving Facility Commitments being replaced; (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Facility (other than provisions relating to (x) fees, interest rates and other pricing terms and prepayment and commitment reduction and optional redemption terms which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the amount of any letter of credit sublimit and swingline commitment under such Replacement Revolving Facility, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower, the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the replacement issuing bank and replacement swingline lender, if any, under such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments) shall be substantially similar to, or (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans, taken as a whole, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith, than the terms applicable to the Revolving Facility Commitments being refinanced (except to the extent such covenants and other terms (x) apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date, (y) are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (z) reflect market terms and conditions (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) at the time of incurrence); (v) there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrower) and no guarantors (other than the Guarantors) in respect of such Replacement Revolving Facility; and (vi) Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder shall not be secured by any asset of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral. In addition, the Borrower may establish Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments to refinance and/or replace all or 
131

any portion of a Term Loan hereunder (regardless of whether such Term Loan is repaid with the proceeds of Replacement Revolving Loans or otherwise), so long as the aggregate amount of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments does not exceed the aggregate amount of Term Loans repaid at the time of establishment thereof plus amounts used to pay fees, premiums, costs and expenses (including upfront fees) and accrued interest associated therewith (it being understood that such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment may be provided by the Lenders holding the Term Loans being repaid and/or by any other person that would be a permitted Assignee hereunder) so long as (i) after giving effect to the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments on the Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant agreement governing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments, (ii) the remaining life to termination of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity then applicable to the refinanced Term Loans, (iii) the final termination date of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments shall be no earlier than the Term Facility Maturity Date of the refinanced Term Loans, (iv) such Replacement Revolving Loans shall be secured by Liens on Collateral with the same priority as the Term Loans being refinanced, (v) there shall be no borrower (other than the Borrower) and no guarantors (other than the Guarantors) in respect of such Replacement Revolving Facility and (vi) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Facility (other than provisions relating to (x) fees, interest rates and other pricing terms and prepayment and commitment reduction and optional redemption terms which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the amount of any letter of credit sublimit and swingline commitment under such Replacement Revolving Facility, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower, the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the replacement issuing bank and replacement swingline lender, if any, under such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments) shall be substantially similar to, or (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) not materially more favorable to the lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans, taken as a whole, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith, than the terms applicable to the Revolving Facility Commitments being refinanced (except to the extent such covenants and other terms (x) apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date, (y) are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (z) reflect market terms and conditions (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) at the time of incurrence). Solely to the extent that an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender is not a replacement issuing bank or replacement swingline lender, as the case may be, under a Replacement Revolving Facility, it is understood and agreed that such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall not be required to issue any letters of credit or swingline loan under such Replacement Revolving Facility and, to the extent it is necessary for such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender to withdraw as an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, at the time of the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Facility, such withdrawal shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in its sole discretion. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in full upon demand, for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost or expense attributable to such withdrawal.
132

32.The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted Assignee of a Revolving Facility Commitment pursuant to Section 9.04 to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments (subject to receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of Revolving Facility Commitments to such person pursuant to Section 9.04); provided, that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment. Any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment made on any Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Revolving Facility Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, that any Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments may, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Revolving Facility Commitments.
33.The Borrower and each Lender providing the applicable Refinancing Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments (as applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an amendment to this Agreement (a “Refinancing Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Refinancing Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments (as applicable). For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (A) if a Lender is providing a Refinancing Term Loan, such Lender will be deemed to have an Other Term Loan having the terms of such Refinancing Term Loan and (B) if a Lender is providing a Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment, such Lender will be deemed to have an Other Revolving Facility Commitment having the terms of such Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation this Section 2.23), (i) no Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, (ii) this Agreement shall impose no condition to any incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loan or Replacement Revolving Facility Commitment at any time or from time to time other than those set forth in clauses (a) or (c) above, as applicable, and (iii) all Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Revolving Facility Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall have the same rank and Lien priority as the Term Facility or Revolving Facility being refinanced or replaced, as applicable.
Defaulting Lenders.
34.Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Majority Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” or “Required Revolving Facility Lenders,” as applicable, and Section 9.08.
133

Defaulting Lender Waterfall. 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, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 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, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder, third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(j), fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default then 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, fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.05(j), sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default then 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 eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. 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 2.24 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
Certain Fees.
No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and, except as provided in clause (C) below, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral.
134

With respect to any Commitment Fee or L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under any Revolving Facility shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata Commitments under such Revolving Facility (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender under such Revolving Facility to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment under such Revolving Facility. Subject to Section 9.23, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within five (5) Business Days following the written request of the (i) Administrative Agent or (ii) the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, as applicable (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j).
35.Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par (together with any break funding costs incurred by the non-Defaulting Lenders as a result of such purchase) that portion of outstanding Revolving Facility Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Facility Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect 
135

to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
Loan Repurchases.
36.Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to below, the Borrower may from time to time, at its discretion, conduct modified Dutch auctions in order to purchase Term Loans of one or more Classes (as determined by the Borrower) (each, a “Purchase Offer”), each such Purchase Offer to be managed exclusively by the Administrative Agent (or such other financial institution chosen by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:
each Purchase Offer shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.25 and the Auction Procedures;
no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing on the date of the delivery of each notice of an auction and at the time of (and immediately after giving effect to) the purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Purchase Offer or shall result therefrom;
the principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of each and all Classes of Term Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in any such Purchase Offer shall be no less than $10,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (across all such Classes);
the principal amount of all Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes so purchased by the Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold) (without any increase to EBITDA as a result of any gains associated with cancellation of debt), and in no event shall the Borrower be entitled to any vote hereunder in connection with such Term Loans;
no more than one Purchase Offer with respect to any Class may be ongoing at any one time;
either (A) (x) the Borrower shall represent and warrant that no Loan Party has any material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries, or with respect to the Loans or the securities of any such person, that (A) has not been previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (other than because such Lender does not wish to receive such material non-public information) prior to such time and (B) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to participate in the Purchase Offer or (y) 
136

shall state that it cannot make such representation set forth in clause (A)(x) or (B) such Purchase Offer shall contain customary “big boy” representations; and
any Purchase Offer with respect to any Class shall be offered to all Term Lenders holding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis.
37.The Borrower must terminate any Purchase Offer if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Purchase Offer. If the Borrower commences any Purchase Offer (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of such Purchase Offer have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the consummation of such Purchase Offer shall be satisfied, then the Borrower shall have no liability to any Term Lender for any termination of such Purchase Offer as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of consummation of such Purchase Offer, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans of any Class or Classes made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25, (x) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 hereof.
38.The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Purchase Offers and the other transactions effected pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.25; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Purchase Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.18 and 9.04 will not apply to the purchases of Term Loans pursuant to Purchase Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.25. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article VIII and Section 9.05 to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Agents” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Purchase Offer.
39.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans or the Term Loan Commitments, under this Agreement to the Borrower or any Subsidiaries through open market purchases on a pro-rata or non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:
137

(x) if the assignee is a Subsidiary, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee will automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower or (y) if the assignee is the Borrower, (including through the contribution or transfers set forth in clause (x)), the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to the Borrower will be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished upon such assignment, contribution or transfer; and
no Event of Default shall be continuing or shall result therefrom
40.This Section 2.25 shall supersede any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary.
ARTICLE III.

Representations and Warranties

ARTICLE VIII.

The Agents
Appointment.
174.Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including as the Collateral Agent for such Lender and the other Secured Parties under the Security Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Article (other than the final paragraph of Section 8.12 hereof) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any such provisions.
175.In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements) hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any Subagents appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for 
193

exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VIII (including Section 8.07) as though the Collateral Agent (and any such Subagents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Each Agent may also from time to time, when it deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by an Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by such Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects with reasonable care.
Exculpatory Provisions.  None of the Agents, their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents or to assure that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Loan Document have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority or for the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements 
194

contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the respective 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 expressly provided for herein 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, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Laws or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Laws and (c) no Agent shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, or be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agents shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.05. No Agent shall 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 Document, (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 the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) 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 Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or a Net Short Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans and/or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for costs or expenses suffered by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, any Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of any determination of any Dollar Equivalent.
Reliance by Agents.  Each 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 
195

or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. Each 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 any Credit Event that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to such Credit Event. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to 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. Each Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with such Agent in accordance with Section 9.04. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
Notice of Default.  No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective Related Parties have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender and Issuing Bank represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of, the Loan 
196

Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.
Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and the Revolving Facility Lenders agree to indemnify each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, in each case in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and, in the case of the indemnification of each Agent, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments hereunder; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans owing to the Swingline Lender and of any disbursement under any Letter of Credit owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Facility Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposure) (determined at the time such indemnity is sought or, if the respective Obligations have been repaid in full, as determined immediately prior to such repayment in full), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims (including intra-party claims), losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 9.05 to be paid by it to the Administrative 
197

Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) based on each Lender’s share of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans and Revolving Facility Commitments in effect at such time (or, if the Revolving Facility Commitments have terminated, Revolving Facility Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided, further that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such subagent), the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity.
The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued, or Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan participated in, by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any such resignation by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Upon any such resignation, then the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the reasonable consent of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing), to appoint a successor which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative 
198

Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective (except in the case of the Collateral Agent holding collateral security on behalf of such Secured Parties, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed), and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it, its Subagents and their respective Related Parties while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Arrangers, Etc.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the persons named on the cover page hereof as Arranger, syndication agent or documentation agent is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except that each such person and its Affiliates shall be entitled to the rights expressly stated to be applicable to them in Sections 4.01, 9.05 and 9.17 (subject to the applicable obligations and limitations as set forth therein).
Security Documents and Collateral Agent.  The Lenders and the other Secured Parties authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Collateral or Guarantors in accordance with Section 9.18 or if approved, authorized or ratified in accordance with Section 9.08.
The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct the Collateral Agent to, without any further consent of any Lender or any other Secured Party, enter into (or acknowledge and consent to) or amend, renew, extend, supplement, restate, replace, waive or otherwise modify any Permitted First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor or subordination agreement contemplated by this Agreement (in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and deemed appropriate by it) with the collateral agent or other representative of holders of Indebtedness secured (and permitted to be secured) by a Lien on assets constituting all or a portion of the Collateral under any of Sections 6.02 (and in accordance with the relevant requirements thereof) (any of the foregoing, an “Intercreditor Agreement”). The Lenders and the other Secured Parties irrevocably agree that (x) the Collateral Agent may rely exclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower as to whether any such other Liens are permitted hereunder and as to the respective assets constituting Collateral that secure (and are permitted to secure) such Indebtedness hereunder and (y) any Intercreditor Agreement entered into by the Collateral Agent shall be binding on the Secured Parties, and each Lender and other Secured Party hereby agrees that it will take no actions contrary to the provisions of, if entered into and if applicable, any Intercreditor Agreement. Furthermore, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan 
199

Document (i) to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(c), (i), (j), (t), (x), (ll) or (mm), in each case to the extent the contract or agreement pursuant to which such Lien is granted prohibits any other Liens on such property or (ii) that is or becomes Excluded Property; and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall do so upon reasonable request of the Borrower; provided, that prior to any such request, the Borrower shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying (x) that such Lien is permitted under this Agreement, (y) in the case of a request pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence, that the contract or agreement pursuant to which such Lien is granted prohibits any other Lien on such property and (z) in the case of a request pursuant to clause (ii) of this sentence, that (A) such property is or has become Excluded Property and (B) if such property has become Excluded Property as a result of a contractual restriction, such restriction does not violate Section 6.08.
Right to Realize on Collateral, Enforce Guarantees, and Credit Bidding.  In the event of the pendency of any case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, (i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such case or proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest and fees and expenses owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and any Subagents 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 (ii) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, 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 the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such case or proceeding.
Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee set forth in any Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders may exercise the set-off rights 
200

contained in Section 9.06 in the manner set forth therein, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other Disposition.
The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or any other Debtor Relief Law in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject or (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of Collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (x) to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (y) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 9.08(b) of this Agreement, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata to the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (ii) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to 
201

the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.
Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Loan Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, fines, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.13.
Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.  No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 7.03, any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guarantee Agreement or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.
Certain ERISA Matters.
176.Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
202

such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,
the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
177.In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
Erroneous Payments.
203

178.Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender or Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds 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 (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
179.Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous 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 Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, or (z) that such Lender or Issuing Bank otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment) with respect to such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid 
204

to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, shall cause each of the Guarantors to agree that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 or any other Loan Party.
180.Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Assignments (other than pursuant to Section 2.25) shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the applicable Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Term Loans and (y) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Revolving Facility Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, which consent will be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of any request for such consent; provided, that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Related Funds being treated as one assignment), if any;
each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;
the parties to each assignment shall (1) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and any form required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17 via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (2) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, in each case together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent);
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 to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in 
208

accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and
the Assignee shall not be (i) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries except with respect to assignments to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.25, (ii) any Disqualified Lender (subject to Section 9.04(h)), (iii) a natural person or (iv) a Defaulting Lender.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04, “Approved Fund” means any person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be permitted to assign or transfer any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (A) with respect to the Initial Term Loan Commitments and Initial Term Loans, prior to the funding of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date and (B) with respect to the Revolving Facility Commitments, prior to the funding of all Revolving Facility Loans requested by the Borrower on the Closing Date, in each case, to any person, unless consented to by the Borrower. Any assigning Lender shall, in connection with any potential assignment, provide to the Borrower a copy of its request (including the name of the prospective assignee) concurrently with its delivery of the same request to the Administrative Agent irrespective of whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subclause (v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections, including, without limitation, the requirements of Sections 2.17(d) and 2.17(f)) and continue to be bound by the requirements of Section 9.16). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 clause (c) of this Section 9.04 (except to the extent such participation is not permitted by such clause (c) of this Section 9.04, in which case such assignment or transfer shall be null and void).
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 Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and Revolving L/C 
209

Exposure 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, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, and, in each case with respect to itself, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance 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 clause (b)(ii)(C) of this Section 9.04, if applicable, and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and promptly 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(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(c) or 8.07, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance 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, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subclause (v).
188. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell participations in Loans and Commitments to one or more banks or other entities other than any person that, at the time of such participation, is (I) a natural person, (II) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or (III) a Disqualified Lender subject to Section 9.04(h) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that both (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any waiver of any Default or Event of Default) and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(iii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the 
210

limitations and requirements of those Sections and Section 2.19, including the requirements of Sections 2.17(d) and 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(d) and 2.17(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 clause (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(b) 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 interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Without limitation of the requirements of this Section 9.04(c), no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other Loan Obligations under any Loan Document), except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Loan Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, which consent shall state that it is being given pursuant to this Section 9.04(c)(iii); provided, that each potential Participant shall provide such information as is reasonably requested by the Borrower in order for the Borrower to determine whether to provide its consent.
189.Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
211

190.The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in clause (d) above.
191.Each purchase of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.25 shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be an automatic and immediate cancellation and extinguishment of such Term Loans and the Borrower shall, upon consummation of any such purchase, notify the Administrative Agent that the Register should be updated to record such event as if it were a prepayment of such Loans.
192.In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Lender or any other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
193.The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Lenders provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same. 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 Disqualified Lenders; provided, further, without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. With respect to any Lender or Participant that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable assignment or participation, (x) such Assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or Participant and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such Assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. Any assignment in 
212

violation of this clause (h) shall not be void, but the Borrower shall have the right to (A) in the case of any outstanding Revolving Facility Commitments, terminate any Revolving Facility Commitment of such Disqualified Lender and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Lender in connection with such Revolving Facility Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Lenders, prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and/or (C) require such Disqualified Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to an Assignee in accordance with this Section 9.04 that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii), (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws and (iii) in the case of clause (B), the Borrower shall not use the proceeds from any Loans to prepay Term Loans held by Disqualified Lenders.
Expenses; Indemnity.
194.The Borrower hereby agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates in connection with the syndication and distribution (including via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated, but only to the extent the preparation of any such amendment, modification or waiver was requested by the Borrower), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Arrangers, and, if necessary, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per material jurisdiction that is reasonably necessary, (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (other than any Excluded Affiliate) in connection with the enforcement of their rights in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Document, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit and including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all such persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where such person affected 
213

by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of such for such affected person).
195.The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates (other than any Excluded Affiliate), successors and assignors, and each of their respective Related Parties (other than any Excluded Affiliate) (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims (including intra-party claims), damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket counsel fees, charges and disbursements (excluding the allocated costs of in house counsel and limited to not more than one counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any violation of or liability under Environmental Laws related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of or exposure to Hazardous Materials at, under, on, from or to any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary except to the extent that Borrower can demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that such presence or Release (A) occurred, in the first instance, after the period of ownership, termination of lease or cessation of operations by the Borrower or any Subsidiary and (B) is not a presence or Release for which Borrower or any Subsidiary would have any liability under Environmental Law, or (v) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates; 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) are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or (ii) a material breach by an Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or (y) arose from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against any Agent or an Arranger in its capacity as such). None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective affiliates), nor the Borrower or its subsidiaries (or any of their respective affiliates), shall be responsible or liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the Facilities or the Transactions; provided, that this sentence shall not limit the Borrower’s or its subsidiaries’ indemnity or reimbursement 
214

obligation to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which an Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification thereunder. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the occurrence of the Termination Date, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 30 days after written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.
196.This Section 9.05 shall not apply to any Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from a non-Tax claim), which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.17 and, to the extent set forth therein, Section 2.15.
197.To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto (or any of their Affiliates) shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto (or any of their Affiliates), 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, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor nor any Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the internet) in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Borrower, any Guarantor or such Indemnitee, as the case may be.
198.The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations, the occurrence of the Termination Date and the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.
199.The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (it being understood that the withholding of consent due to non-satisfaction of either of the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the following sentence (with “Borrower” being substituted for “Indemnitee” in each such clause) shall be deemed reasonable)), but if any proceeding is settled with the written consent of the Borrower, or if there is a final judgment against any Indemnitee in any such proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnitee (which 
215

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (it being understood that the withholding of consent due to non-satisfaction of either of the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence shall be deemed reasonable)), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or failure to act of the relevant Indemnitee.
Right of Set-off.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective 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 and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured; provided, that any recovery by any Lender or any Affiliate pursuant to its setoff rights under this Section 9.06 is subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(b); provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have.
Applicable Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; provided, however, that (a) the interpretation of clause (a) of the definition Material Adverse Effect and whether there shall have occurred a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Business, (b) the determination of whether the condition in Section 4.01(h) has been satisfied and (c) the determination of whether the Acquisition Agreement Specified Representations are accurate and whether as a result of any inaccuracy of any such representations the Borrower or Acquisition Sub has the right to terminate the obligations of the Borrower or has the right to decline to consummate the Acquisition under the Acquisition Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law 
216

provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the applicable of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
Waivers; Amendment.
200.No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or 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 other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.
201.Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.14, 2.21, 2.22 or 2.23, (y) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (except that any waiver, amendment or modification of the Financial Covenant or of any defined term (or component defined term) but only to the extent as used therein (or any Default or Event of Default or exercise of remedies by the Required Revolving Facility Lenders in respect or as a result thereof) shall only require the Required Revolving Facility Lenders voting as a single Class rather than the Required Lenders) and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Loan Party party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:
decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any reimbursement obligation with respect to any disbursement under any Letter of Credit, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that (1) any amendment to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to the MFN Provision shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on 
217

any Loan or any reimbursement obligation with respect to any disbursement under any Letter of Credit or to reduce any fee payable hereunder, (2) only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to reduce or waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or Fees at the applicable default rate set forth in Section 2.13(c) and (3) waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or mandatory prepayments shall not constitute an a reduction in the principal or interest due for purposes of this clause (i);
increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender, or decrease the Commitment Fees, L/C Participation Fees or any other Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any such extension or decrease, such consent of such Lender shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default, mandatory prepayments or extensions for administrative convenience as agreed by the Administrative Agent shall not constitute an increase or extension of the Commitments of any Lender for purposes of this clause (ii);
extend or waive any Term Loan Installment Date or reduce the amount due on any Term Loan Installment Date, extend or waive any Revolving Facility Maturity Date or reduce the amount due on any Revolving Facility Maturity Date or extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any disbursement under any Letter of Credit or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby; provided that no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, prepayment premium, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Loans shall constitute such an extension, waiver or reduction;
amend the provisions of Section 2.18(b) or Section 7.03 in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, in each case except in connection with any transaction permitted under Sections 2.21, 2.22, 2.23, 2.25 or otherwise provided in this Section 9.08;
amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lenders,” “Required Revolving Facility Lenders,” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date);
except as provided in Section 9.18 release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their respective Guarantees (other than in 
218

connection with Dispositions permitted under Section 6.05) without the prior written consent of each Lender;
effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or collateral of Lenders participating in any Facility differently from those of Lenders participating in another Facility, without the consent of the Majority Lenders participating in the adversely affected Facility (it being agreed that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment or Commitment reduction required by Section 2.11 so long as the application of any prepayment or Commitment reduction still required to be made is not changed);
[reserved];
amend the provisions of Section 9.04 to reduce the number or percentage of Lenders required to permit the Borrower to assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender; or
amend the provisions of Section 9.04 in a manner that would further restrict assignments of any Loans under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby; 
provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Swingline Lender or each Issuing Bank affected thereby, as applicable; provided, further that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) solely with the consent of each Issuing Bank and, in the case of clause (x), the Administrative Agent, any such agreement may (x) increase or decrease the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (y) waive, amend or modify any condition precedent that pertains to the issuance of any Letter of Credit and (B) solely with the consent of the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) increase or decrease the Swingline Commitments or (y) waive, amend or modify any condition precedent as it pertains to any Swingline Loan. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any Assignee of such Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be affected 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 without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
219

202.Without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required or contemplated by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to include holders of Other First Liens or (to the extent necessary or advisable under applicable local law) Junior Liens in the benefit of the Security Documents in connection with the incurrence of any Other First Lien Debt or Indebtedness permitted to be secured by Junior Liens and to give effect to any Intercreditor Agreement associated therewith, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect, any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document.
203.Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to permit additional extensions of credit to be outstanding hereunder from time to time and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Facility Loans and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the holders of such extensions of credit in any determination of the requisite lenders required hereunder, including Required Lenders and the Required Revolving Facility Lenders. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank) to include any additional financial maintenance covenant (or any financial maintenance covenant that is already included in this Agreement but with covenant levels and component definitions that are more restrictive to the Borrower) for the benefit of the Lenders of all of the Facilities (but not fewer than all of the Facilities) then existing.
204.Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender) to the extent necessary (A) to integrate any Other Term Loan Commitments, Other Revolving Facility Commitments, Other Term Loans and Other Revolving Loans in a manner consistent with Sections 2.21, 2.22 and 2.23 as may be necessary to establish such Other Term Loan Commitments, Other Revolving Facility Commitment, Other Term Loans or Other Revolving Loans as a separate Class or tranche from the existing Term Facility Commitments, Revolving Facility Commitments, Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable, and, in the case of Extended Term Loans, to reduce the amortization schedule of the related existing Class of Term Loans proportionately, (B) to integrate any Other First Lien Debt, (C) to amend any provisions necessary for any Incremental Loan to be fungible with any Facility, so long as such amendment either provides the Lenders of such Facility with additional benefits or is not adverse to such Lenders, (D) to cure any ambiguity, omission, error, defect, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature or any 
220

necessary or desirable technical change, in each case, in any provision of any Loan Document or (E) to cause such Loan Document to be consistent with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
205.Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be necessary to ensure that all Term Loans established pursuant to Section 2.21 after the Closing Date that will be included in an existing Class of Term Loans outstanding on such date (an “Applicable Date”), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class (the “Existing Class Loans”), on a pro rata basis, and/or to ensure that, immediately after giving effect to such new Term Loans (the “New Class Loans” and, together with the Existing Class Loans, the “Class Loans”), each Lender holding Class Loans will be deemed to hold its Pro Rata Share of each Class Loan on the Applicable Date (but without changing the amount of any such Lender’s Term Loans), and each such Lender shall be deemed to have effectuated such assignments as shall be required to ensure the foregoing. The “Pro Rata Share” of any Lender on the Applicable Date is the ratio of (1) the sum of such Lender’s Existing Class Loans immediately prior to the Applicable Date plus the amount of New Class Loans made by such Lender on the Applicable Date over (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Class Loans on the Applicable Date.
Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender or Issuing Bank in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided, that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arranger Fee Letter and the Agent Fee Letter shall each survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto (and the Indemnitees, the Cash Management Banks under any Secured Cash Management Agreement and 
221

the Hedge Banks under any Secured Hedge Agreement) rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY 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, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.
Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby as to such jurisdiction, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic transmission pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.
Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
206.The Borrower and each other Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, any Arranger or any Affiliate of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court of the Southern 
222

District of New York, sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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 this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
207.Each of the parties hereto 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 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 9.15. 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.
208.Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Confidentiality.  Each of the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to the Borrower and any Subsidiary or their respective businesses furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than information that (a) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party in breach of this Section 9.16, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent without violating this Section 9.16 or (c) was available to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent from a third party having, to such person’s knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to the Borrower or any other Loan Party) and shall not reveal the same other than on a “need to know” basis to (x) its Related Parties (other than Excluded Affiliates) and (y) any numbering, administration or settlement service providers or to any person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16 and such disclosing Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent, as applicable, remains responsible for such person’s compliance with this paragraph), except: (A) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such person or its Related Parties, (in which case such Person shall, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), (B) as part of reporting or review procedures to, or examinations by, Governmental Authorities or 
223

self-regulatory authorities (in which case such person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, (i) inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment) (C) to its parent companies, Affiliates and their Related Parties including auditors, accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16 and such disclosing Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent, as applicable, remains responsible for such person’s compliance with this paragraph); provided, that in no case shall any information relating to the Borrower or any subsidiary or their respective businesses be provided to any Excluded Affiliate pursuant to this clause (C), (D) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (E) to any pledgee under Section 9.04(d) or any other prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16 and such disclosing Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent, as applicable, remains responsible for such person’s compliance with this paragraph), (F) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or its Related Parties (other than Excluded Affiliates)) in Hedging Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.16 and such disclosing Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent, as applicable, remains responsible for such person’s compliance with this paragraph), (G) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the facilities evidenced by this Agreement or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the facilities evidenced by this Agreement, (H) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (I) solely with respect to disclosing the existence of this Agreement, the size of the Facilities and the parties to the Loan Documents, to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Issuing Banks and the Lenders, in each case in connection with the administration, settlement and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (J) to any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any information relating to the Borrower and any Subsidiary or their respective businesses furnished to any Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary be disclosed to (x) any Disqualified Lender or (y) any Excluded Affiliate.
Platform; Borrower Materials.  THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ITS RELATED PARTIES AND THE ARRANGERS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR 
224

FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY OR ITS RELATED PARTIES OR ANY ARRANGER IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.
Release of Liens and Guarantees.
209.The Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders, and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall (1) be automatically released: (i) in full upon the occurrence of the Termination Date as set forth in Section 9.18(d) below; (ii) upon the Disposition (other than any lease or license) of such Collateral by any Loan Party to a person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent that such Collateral comprises property leased to a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.08), (v) to the extent that the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the Guarantee Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (vi) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents, or (v) if the property subject to such Lien becomes Excluded Property and (2) be released in the circumstances, and subject to the terms and conditions, provided in Section 8.11 (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without any further inquiry). Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.
210.In addition, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the respective Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its respective Guarantee (i) automatically upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder (x) resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary (including because such Subsidiary is designated an “Unrestricted Subsidiary”) or (y) in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor which would not be required to be a Guarantor because it is or has become an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted by this Agreement following which it has become (or remains) a Subsidiary of a Guarantor, in each case following a written request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent requesting that such person no longer constitute a Guarantor and certifying its entitlement to the requested release (and the Collateral Agent may 
225

rely conclusively on a certificate to the foregoing effect without further inquiry); provided that without the consent of the Required Lenders, no Loan Party shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to clause (y) above if such Loan Party becomes an Excluded Subsidiary pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Excluded Subsidiary” solely by virtue of a Disposition or issuance of Equity Interests (unless, for the avoidance of doubt, another clause of the definition of “Excluded Subsidiary” is then applicable), unless such Disposition or issuance is for a legitimate business purpose on an arm’s length basis ), or (ii) if the release of such Guarantor is approved, authorized or ratified by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders whose consent is required in accordance with Section 9.08).
211.The Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.18, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender or any other Secured Party. Upon the effectiveness of any such release, any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be made. In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset; provided, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the applicable Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose such Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (iii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.18(c) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.
212.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, on the Termination Date, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements and (ii) any contingent indemnification obligations or expense reimbursement claims not then due; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Any such release of obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any 
226

portion of any payment in respect of the obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded, avoided or must otherwise be restored or returned upon or otherwise in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (and their respective representatives) in connection with taking such actions to release security interests in all Collateral and all obligations under the Loan Documents as contemplated by this Section 9.18(d).
213.Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement (after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating to such Secured Hedge Agreements) shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Security Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and guaranteed. No person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors affected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements.
USA PATRIOT Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation Notice.  Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
Agency of the Borrower for the Loan Parties.  Each of the other Loan Parties hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices and the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and therein and all modifications hereto and thereto.
No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees 
227

that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the 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 contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders 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, any of its Affiliates or any other person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
Payments Set Aside.  (a) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises its right of setoff or recoupment, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or recoupment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff or recoupment had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Loan Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Acknowledgement 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 or Issuing Bank 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 
228

Conversion Powers of an the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
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
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 undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(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.
Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be 
229

exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
As used in this Section 9.24, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.  The words “execution,” “execute,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, Assignment and Acceptances, amendments or other Borrowing Requests, Swingline Borrowing Requests, Letter of Credit Requests, Interest Election Requests, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.
Net Short Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any determination as to whether the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Facility Lenders, as applicable, have (A) delivered (or not delivered) a notice of a Default or an Event of Default or a notice of acceleration under any Loan Document, (B) otherwise acted on any matter 
230

related to a Default, an Event of Default or an acceleration under any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent to deliver (or not deliver) a notice of a Default or an Event of Default or a notice of acceleration under any Loan Document (clauses (A) through (C), the “Default Actions”), any Lender (other than (x) any Lender that is a Regulated Bank and (y) any Revolving Facility Lender as of the Closing Date (or as otherwise agreed among the Borrower, the applicable Revolving Facility Lender and the Administrative Agent)) that, as a result of its (or its Affiliates’ (other than any Screened Affiliates)) interest in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments (each, a “Net Short Lender”), without the consent of the Borrower, shall have no right to take any Default Action, be counted as a Required Lender or Required Revolving Facility Lender with respect any Default Action or vote any of its Loans and Commitments with respect to any Default Action (and, with respect to any votes with respect to any Default Action, shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders). For purposes of determining whether a Lender (alone or together with its Affiliates (other than any Screened Affiliates)) has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to the Loans and Commitments and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount thereof in Dollars, (ii) notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the dollar equivalent thereof by such Lender in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties or any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender or its Affiliates (other than any Screened Affiliates) and (y) the Borrower and other Loan Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such Lender or its Affiliates (other than any Screened Affiliates) is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the Loans or the Commitments are a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the Loans or the Commitments would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or (z) any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties (or its successor) is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transactions, and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such transactions are functionally equivalent to a transaction that offers the Lender or its Affiliates 
231

(other than any Screened Affiliates) protection in respect of the Loans or the Commitments, or as to the credit quality of any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties other than, in each case, as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender or its Affiliates (other than any Screened Affiliates) and (y) the Borrower and other Loan Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Loan Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index. In connection with any such determination, each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing that it is a Net Short Lender, or, in the absence of any such written notification to the Administrative Agent prior to the date of such determination, shall otherwise be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on each such representation and deemed representation). The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Net Short Representation delivered, provided or made (or deemed delivered, provided or made) to it in accordance with this Agreement, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Net Short Representation, verify any statements in any officer’s certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make any calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to any interest in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract or “net short positions” or any Person.

AUCTION PROCEDURES
This Exhibit F is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the modified Dutch auction (an “Auction”) procedures pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.25 of that certain Agreement of which this Exhibit F is a part (as amended, supplemented, restated, amended and restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). It is not intended to be a definitive statement of all of the terms and conditions of an Auction, the definitive terms and conditions for which shall be set forth in the applicable offering document. None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, or any of their respective affiliates or any officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact of such Persons (together with the Administrative Agent and its affiliates, the “Agent-Related Person”) makes any recommendation pursuant to any offering document as to whether or not any Lender should sell its Term Loans to the Borrower pursuant to any offering documents, nor shall the decision by the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any other Agent-Related Person (or any of their affiliates) in its respective capacity as a Lender to sell its Term Loans to the Borrower be deemed to constitute such a recommendation. Each Lender should make its own decision on whether to sell any of its Term Loans and, if it decides to do so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Term Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning each Auction and the relevant offering documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit F have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
1.    Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, the Borrower will provide notification to the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Term Lenders of the applicable Class of Term Loans (each, an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans of each applicable Class that the Borrower offers to purchase in such Auction (the “Auction Amount”) which shall be no less than $10,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent); (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 (in increments of $5), at which the Borrower would be willing to purchase Term Loans of each applicable Class in such Auction; and (iii) the date on which such Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (as such date and time may be extended by the Auction Manager, such time the “Expiration Time”). Such Expiration Time may be extended for a period not exceeding three (3) Business Days upon notice by the Borrower to the Auction Manager received not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time; provided that only one extension per offer shall be permitted. An Auction shall be regarded as a “failed auction” in the event that either (x) the Borrower withdraws such Auction in accordance with the terms hereof or (y) the Expiration Time occurs with no Qualifying Bids (as defined below) having been received. In the event of a failed auction, the Borrower shall not be permitted to deliver a new Auction Notice prior to the date occurring three (3) Business Days after such withdrawal or Expiration Time, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not initiate any Auction by delivering an Auction Notice to the Auction Manager until after the conclusion (whether successful or failed) of the previous Auction (if any), whether such conclusion occurs 
F-1

by withdrawal of such previous Auction or the occurrence of the Expiration Time of such previous Auction.
2.    Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Term Lender of each applicable Class wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager with a notice of participation, in the form included in the respective offering document (each, a “Return Bid”) which shall specify (i) a discount to par that must be expressed as a price per $1,000 (in increments of $5) in principal amount of Term Loans of each applicable Class (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Term Loans of each applicable Class, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, that such Lender offers for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”). A Term Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of the Term Loans of each applicable Class held by such Term Lender. Term Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction but each Return Bid may contain up to three (3) component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Term Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Term Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, an assignment and acceptance in the form included in the offering document (each, an “Auction Assignment and Assumption”). The Borrower will not purchase any Term Loans of any applicable Class at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).
3.    Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrower, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for such Auction within the Discount Range for such Auction that will allow the Borrower to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Term Loans for which the Borrower has received Qualifying Bids). The Borrower shall purchase Term Loans of each applicable Class from each Term Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All Term Loans included in Qualifying Bids (including multiple component Qualifying Bids contained in a single Return Bid) received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at such applicable Reply Prices and shall not be subject to proration.
4.    Proration Procedures. All Term Loans of each applicable Class offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids at the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the Applicable Threshold Price; provided, that if the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans of any applicable Class for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction at the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (after deducting all Term Loans of such Class to be purchased at prices below the Applicable 
F-2

Threshold Price), the Borrower shall purchase the Term Loans of such Class for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. No Return Bids or any component thereof will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.
5.    Notification Procedures. The Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price and post the Applicable Threshold Price and proration factor onto an internet or intranet site (including an IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other electronic workspace) in accordance with the Auction Manager’s standard dissemination practices by 4:00 p.m. New York time on the same Business Day as the date the Return Bids were due (as such due date may be extended in accordance with this Exhibit F). The Auction Manager will insert the principal amount of Term Loans of each applicable Class to be assigned and the applicable settlement date into each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. Upon the request of the submitting Lender, the Auction Manager will promptly return any Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Return Bid that is not a Qualifying Bid.
6.    Auction Assignment and Assumption. Each Auction Notice and Auction Assignment and Assumption shall contain the following representations, warranties and covenants by the Borrower:
(a)    The conditions set forth in Section 2.25 of the Credit Agreement have each been satisfied on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such conditions refer to conditions that must be satisfied as of a future date, in which case the Borrower must terminate any Auction if it fails to satisfy one of more of the conditions which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans of any applicable Class pursuant to an Auction.
(b)    The representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in Article III of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes hereof, the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 4.01(j) or clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.04 of the Credit Agreement.
7.    Additional Procedures. Once initiated by an Auction Notice, the Borrower may withdraw an Auction only in the event that, (i) as of such time, no Qualifying Bid has been received by the Auction Manager or (ii) the Borrower has failed to meet a condition set forth in Section 2.25 of the Credit Agreement. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Lender of a Return Bid, such Lender will not have any withdrawal rights. Any Return Bid (including any component bid thereof) delivered to the Auction Manager may not be modified, revoked, terminated or cancelled by a Lender. However, an Auction may become void 
F-3

if the conditions to the purchase of Term Loans of any applicable Class by the Borrower required by the terms and conditions of Section 2.25 of the Credit Agreement are not met. The purchase price in respect of each Qualifying Bid for which purchase by the Borrower is required in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall be paid directly by the Borrower to the respective assigning Lender on a settlement date as determined jointly by the Borrower and the Auction Manager (which shall be not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date Return Bids are due). The Borrower shall execute each applicable Auction Assignment and Assumption received in connection with a Qualifying Bid. All questions as to the form of documents and validity and eligibility of Term Loans of each applicable Class that are the subject of an Auction will be determined by the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Borrower, and their determination will be final and binding so long as such determination is not inconsistent with the terms of Section 2.25 of the Credit Agreement or this Exhibit F. The Auction Manager’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the offering document, in consultation with the Borrower, will be final and binding so long as such interpretation is not inconsistent with the terms of Section 2.25 of the Credit Agreement or this Exhibit F. None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager, any other Agent-Related Person or any of their respective affiliates assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Borrower, the Loan Parties, or any of their affiliates (whether contained in an offering document or otherwise) or for any failure to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information. This Exhibit F shall not require the Borrower to initiate any Auction.

FORM OF INTERCOMPANY NOTE
INTERCOMPANY NOTE
New York, New York
April 30, 2021
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned, to the extent a borrower from time to time from any other entity listed on the signature page hereto (each, in such capacity, a “Payor”), hereby promises to pay on demand to such other entity listed below (each, in such capacity, a “Payee”), in lawful money of the United States of America, or in such other currency as agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and such Payee, in immediately available funds, at such location in such country as such Payee shall from time to time designate, the unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances (including trade payables) made by such Payee to such Payor. Each Payor promises also to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of all such loans and advances in like money at said location from the date of such loans and advances until paid at such rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and such Payee.
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of April 30, 2021 (as amended, supplemented, restated, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Magnite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) and as Swingline Lender, and each Issuing Bank and Lender party thereto from time to time. Terms used herein which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have such defined meanings in the Credit Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.
This Intercompany Note (this “Note”) contains the subordination provisions referred to in the Credit Agreement and has been pledged by each Payee that is a Loan Party to the Collateral Agent to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Each Payee hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject in all respects to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement then in effect, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise all rights with respect to this Note in accordance with the Security Documents. Each Payor also hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Note constitutes notice of assignment, pursuant to the relevant Security Documents, in respect of loans, advances and any other amounts evidenced by this Note owed to any Payee that is a Loan Party and further acknowledges the receipt of such notice of assignment.
The loans and advances evidenced by this Note owed (x) by any Payor that is a Loan Party to any Payee that is not a Loan Party and (y) by any Guarantor to the Borrower shall be subordinated and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all Obligations (the Obligations, and other indebtedness and obligations in connection 
G-1

with any renewal, refunding, restructuring, or refinancing thereof, including interest, fees and expenses accruing after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in clause (i) below, “Senior Indebtedness”) as follows:
(i)    in the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, of any Payor that is a Loan Party, or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of such Payor in connection with an insolvency or bankruptcy event referred to above, then (x) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness before any such Payee is entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demands for, any payment or distribution on account of this Note and (y) until the holders of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness, any payment or distribution to which such Payee would otherwise be entitled (other than debt securities of such Payor that are subordinated, to at least the same extent as this Note, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (such securities being hereinafter referred to as “Restructured Debt Securities”)) shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness;
(ii)    if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and either (x) the Administrative Agent has given written notice to the Borrower that the Administrative Agent is thereby exercising its rights pursuant to this clause (ii) (provided that no such notice shall be required in the case of an Event of Default arising under Section 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) of the Credit Agreement) or (y) the Obligations under the Credit Agreement have been accelerated, then in either case, no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by such Payor to such Payee with respect to this Note; and
(iii)    if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities), in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Payee in violation of clause (i) or (ii) above before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the Administrative Agents on behalf of the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their representatives), ratably according to the respective aggregate amount remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.
It is understood that the indebtedness evidenced by this Note by any Payor to a Loan Party (other than the Borrower) shall not be subject to the subordination provisions set forth herein.
If any Payee that is not a Loan Party shall acquire by indemnification, subrogation or otherwise, any Lien, estate, right or other interest in any of the assets or properties of any Payor that is a Loan Party, such Lien, estate, right or other interest shall be subordinate in right of payment and all other respects to the Senior Indebtedness and the Lien of the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein, and each such Payee hereby waives any and all such rights it 
G-2

may acquire by subrogation or otherwise to any Lien of the Senior Indebtedness or any portion thereof until such time as all Senior Indebtedness has been repaid in full in cash.
If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to Senior Indebtedness theretofore made (whether by any other Loan Party or any other Person or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is rescinded, avoided or must otherwise be returned by the holders of Senior Indebtedness for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Loan Party or such other Persons), the subordination provisions set forth herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, no present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this Note by any act or failure to act on the part of any Payee that is not a Loan Party or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any trustee or agent for such holder. Each Payee that is not a Loan Party and each Payor that is a Loan Party hereby agrees that the subordination of this Note is for the benefit of the Secured Parties and constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law, and that the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, proceed to enforce the subordination provisions herein. If for any reason the Payees fail to file a proof of claim on account of the obligations evidenced by this Note at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the last date on which such proof of claim should, or is required to, be filed in order to be deemed timely filed in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding referred to above, the Payees hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to file such proof of claim in the Payees’ name.
Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
Each Payee is hereby authorized to record all loans and advances made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein; provided that the failure of any Payee to record such information shall not affect any Payor’s obligations.
Each Payor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note. All payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. Each Payor hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no amount owing by any Payor to any Payee shall be reduced in any way by any outstanding obligations of such Payee to such Payor, whether such obligations are monetary or otherwise.
G-3

Except as provided in Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor represents and warrants that the Notices of Grant of Security Interest in Intellectual Property executed by the applicable Pledgors containing descriptions of all Article 9 Collateral that consists of United States federally issued Patents (and Patents for which United States federal registration applications are pending), United States federally registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States federal registration applications are pending) and United States federally registered Copyrights (and Copyrights for which United States federal registration applications are pending) (including exclusive licenses of registered Copyrights) have been delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, and reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, to protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest (or, in the case of Patents and Trademarks, notice thereof) in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of such Intellectual Property described in such Notices of Grant of Security Interest in Intellectual Property as of the Closing Date in which a security interest may be perfected by recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States federally issued, registered or pending Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights acquired or developed (including registered Copyrights exclusively licensed) after the Closing Date).
(3)The Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, as applicable, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.2(b), as of the Closing Date a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) a security interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral in which a 
-14-

security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of the Notices of Grant of Security Interest in Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable. The Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral other than Permitted Liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Pledgor to make any filings or take any other actions to record or perfect the Collateral Agent’s lien on and Security Interest in any Intellectual Property subsisting outside of the United States or to reimburse the Credit Agreement Agent for any costs or expense incurred in connection with making such filings or taking any other such action.
(4)As of the Closing Date, the Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Pledgors free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.
(5)As of the Closing Date, no Pledgor holds any Commercial Tort Claim reasonably expected to result in a recovery greater than $10,000,000 except as indicated on Schedule IV.
(6)Schedule V sets forth as of the Closing Date, a true and complete list, with respect to each Pledgor, of each Deposit Account (other than any Excluded Accounts), including the name and address of the depositary institution, the type and purpose of each account and the account number.
(7)As to itself and its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property (the “Intellectual Property Collateral”), to each Pledgor’s knowledge:
(a)As of the Closing Date, the Intellectual Property Collateral set forth on Schedule III includes a true and complete list of all of the issued and applied for United States federal Patents, registered and applied for United States federal Trademarks and United States federal registered Copyrights owned by and registered Copyrights exclusively licensed to such Pledgor as of the date hereof (other than Excluded Property).
(b)The Intellectual Property Collateral is subsisting and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part and, to the best of such Pledgor’s knowledge, is valid and enforceable, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Pledgor is not aware of any current uses of any item of Intellectual Property Collateral that would be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c)Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (A) such Pledgor has made or performed all commercially reasonable acts, including without limitation filings, recordings and payment of all required fees and taxes, required to maintain and protect its interest in each and every item of Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect in the United States, and (B) such Pledgor has used proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each Patent, Trademark and Copyright in the Intellectual Property Collateral.
-15-

(d)With respect to each IP Agreement, the absence, termination or violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (A) such Pledgor has not received any notice of termination or cancellation under such IP Agreement; (B) such Pledgor has not received a notice of a breach or default under such IP Agreement, which breach or default has not been cured or waived; and (C) such Pledgor is not in breach or default thereof in any material respect, and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such IP Agreement.
(e)Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Intellectual Property Collateral is subject to any outstanding consent, settlement, decree, order, injunction, judgment or ruling restricting the use of any Intellectual Property Collateral or that would impair the validity or enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral.
SECTION iii..Covenants.   Each Pledgor agrees promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the change to notify in writing the Collateral Agent of any change in (i) its corporate or organization name, (ii) its identity or type of organization, (iii) its organizational identification number or (iv) its jurisdiction of organization, which notice shall include certified copies of the organizational documents of the applicable Pledgor. Each Pledgor agrees to make (unless the Collateral Agent has agreed in writing after receipt of such notice to make), within any applicable statutory period under the Uniform Commercial Code or its equivalent in any applicable jurisdiction that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by such filing, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
(1)Subject to any rights of such Pledgor to Dispose of Collateral provided for in the Credit Agreement Documents, each Pledgor shall, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend title to the Collateral against all persons (subject to its reasonable business judgment) and to defend the security interest of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien other than Permitted Liens and except as permitted by the Credit Agreement Documents and except with respect to Collateral that such Pledgor determines in its reasonable business judgment is no longer necessary or beneficial to the conduct of such Pledgor’s business.
(2)Each Pledgor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to obtain, preserve, protect and perfect the security interest granted hereunder and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes together with any interest and penalties, if any, required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the granting of the security interest granted hereunder and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith, all in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, with the consent of the relevant Pledgor 
-16-

(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule III or adding additional schedules hereto to specifically identify any asset or item that may constitute an issued or applied for United States federal Patent, registered or applied for United States Trademark or registered United States federal Copyright.
(3)[Reserved].
(4)The Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and not a Permitted Lien or otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement Documents, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral to the extent any Pledgor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement or the other Credit Agreement Documents and within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.3(e) shall be interpreted as excusing any Pledgor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Pledgor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein, in the other Credit Agreement Documents.
(5)Each Pledgor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable for the observance and performance of all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral and, to the extent required by Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.
(6)None of the Pledgors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it or in which it has an interest or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral owned by it or in which it has an interest, except as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement. None of the Pledgors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Collateral owned by it or in which it has an interest, except as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement.
(7)Each Pledgor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Pledgor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of the Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Pledgor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Pledgor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required by the Credit Agreement Documents or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Pledgors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its reasonable discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this 
-17-

Section 3.3(h), including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Pledgors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.
(8)Each Pledgor shall keep and maintain, in all material respects, complete, accurate and proper books and records with respect to the Collateral owned by such Pledgor, and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, furnish to the Collateral Agent, such reports relating to the Collateral as the Collateral Agent shall from time to time reasonably request.
SECTION iv..Other Actions.  In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Pledgor agrees, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:
(1)Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper.  If any Pledgor shall at any time own or acquire any Instruments (other than debt obligations which constitute Pledged Debt which is governed by Article II and checks received and processed in the ordinary course of business) or Tangible Chattel Paper, in each case, constituting Collateral and evidencing an individual amount in excess of $5,000,000, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any event within fifty (50) days of the date on which it was received by such Pledgor or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may permit in its reasonable discretion) endorse, collaterally assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
(2)Commercial Tort Claims.  If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably expected to result in a recovery great than $5,000,000, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Pledgor, including a summary description of such claim, and deliver to the Collateral Agent in writing a supplement to Schedule IV including such description and shall grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement.
(3)Accounts.  
(a)For each Deposit Account (other than any Excluded Account) that any Pledgor at any time opens or maintains, such Pledgor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the depositary institution maintaining such Deposit Account to enter into a Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in the case of each Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Account) (i) open on the Closing Date, within the time period specified in Schedule 5.13 to the Credit Agreement and (ii) opened or acquired after the Closing Date, within ninety (90) days (or such later date as the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may agree) following the later of the date such Deposit Account is opened or acquired or ceases to be an Excluded Account. Each Control Agreement shall provide that the depositary bank agrees 
-18-

to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent to such depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of such Pledgor or any other Person, upon delivery of a notice of exclusive control by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Pledgor that the Collateral Agent shall not deliver any such notice of exclusive control unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(b)No Pledgor shall be required, nor shall the Collateral Agent be authorized, to enter into any control agreements with respect to any Excluded Accounts, Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts.
SECTION v..Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.  Except as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement Documents:
(1)Each Pledgor agrees that it will not knowingly do any act or omit to do any act whereby any Patent that is material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business may become prematurely invalidated, abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public.
(2)Each Pledgor will, for each material Trademark necessary to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any adjudication of abandonment or invalidity for non-use and (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark in a manner consistent with the operation of such Pledgor’s business.
(3)Each Pledgor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any United States federally issued or applied for Patent, United States federally registered or applied for Trademark or United States federally registered Copyright material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business may imminently become abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development, excluding office actions and similar determinations or developments in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, any court or any similar office of any country, regarding such Pledgor’s ownership of any such material Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right to register or to maintain the same.
(4)Each Pledgor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall (i) inform the Collateral Agent on an annual basis (at the time of delivery of an updated Perfection Certificate pursuant to Section 5.04(e) of the Credit Agreement) of each application for, or registration or issuance of, any Patent or Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and each registration of any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office filed by or on behalf of, or issued to, or acquired by, any Pledgor during the preceding 12-month period and (ii) upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, execute, deliver and file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or United States Copyright Office, as applicable, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers necessary, or as reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, to evidence the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright and the perfection thereof; provided that any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright created or acquired after the Closing Date shall 
-19-

automatically become subject to the Security Interest and constitute Collateral to the extent such would have constituted Collateral if owned on the Closing Date without further action by any party.
(5)Each Pledgor shall exercise its reasonable business judgment consistent with its past practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office with respect to maintaining and pursuing each application relating to any Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining the relevant grant or registration) material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business and to maintain (i) each United States federally issued Patent that is material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business and (ii) the registrations of each United States federally registered Trademark and each United States federally registered Copyright, in each case that is material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business, including, when applicable and necessary in such Pledgor’s reasonable business judgment, timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if any Pledgor believes necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.
(6)In the event that any Pledgor knows that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the normal conduct of its business has been materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall, if such Pledgor deems it necessary in its sole reasonable business judgment, promptly sue and recover any and all damages and take such other actions as are reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.
(7)Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals from each licensor under each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment or sub-license of all such Pledgor’s right, title and interest thereunder to (in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable discretion) the designee of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 3.5(g) should be construed as an obligation of any Pledgor to incur any costs or expenses in connection with obtaining such approval.
ARTICLE III.

Remedies
SECTION i..Remedies Upon Default.  In accordance with, and to the extent consistent with, the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may take any action specified in this Section 4.1. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) exercise those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Agreement Document; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Pledgor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise, 
-20-

(b) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Pledgors to the Collateral Agent or to license or sublicense (subject to any such licensee’s obligation to maintain the quality of the goods and/or services provided under any Trademark consistent with the quality of such goods and/or services provided by the Pledgors immediately prior to the Event of Default), whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or a nonexclusive basis any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing or trademark co-existence arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to use) and (c) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below, with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to the applicable Pledgor to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral or any records relating to the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral (provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Pledgor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such entry) and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) or in equity; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Pledgor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise. The Collateral Agent agrees and covenants not to exercise any of the rights or remedies set forth in the preceding sentence unless and until the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise Dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. Upon consummation of any such Disposition of Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.1 the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer, license and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing or trademark co-existence arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to use). Each such purchaser at any such Disposition shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that such Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Pledgors ten (10) Business Days’ written notice (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 
-21-

9-611 of the Uniform Commercial Code or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale, and each Pledgor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Uniform Commercial Code or its equivalent in any applicable jurisdiction. At any such sale, the Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 4.1, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase for cash, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and Dispose of such property in accordance with Section 4.2 without further accountability to any Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Pledgor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the Uniform Commercial Code or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
SECTION ii..Application of Proceeds.  The Collateral Agent shall, subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Collateral realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, 
-22-

as well as any Collateral consisting of cash at any time when remedies are being exercised hereunder, as set forth in Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement.
The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
SECTION iii..Securities Act, Etc.  In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any Disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to Dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could Dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to Dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, in its reasonable discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, in its reasonable discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 4.3 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.
SECTION iv..Collection of Receivables Assets.  Subject to any Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, by giving each Pledgor written notice, elect to require that any Accounts of any Pledgor 
-23-

be paid directly to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. In such event, each such Pledgor shall, and shall permit the Collateral Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors under the Accounts owned by such Pledgor of the Collateral Agent’s interest therein and direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due under such Accounts directly to the Collateral Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, thereafter hold in trust for the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, all amounts and proceeds received by it with respect to the Accounts and other Collateral and promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent all such amounts and proceeds in the same form as so received, whether by cash, check, draft or otherwise, with any necessary endorsements. The Collateral Agent shall hold and apply funds so received as provided by the terms of Sections 4.2 and 4.5 hereof.
SECTION v..Special Collateral Account.  Subject to any Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, require all cash proceeds of the Collateral to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Collateral Agent promptly after receipt thereof by a Pledgor and held in such cash collateral account as security for its Secured Obligations. No Pledgor shall have any control whatsoever over such cash collateral account; provided that the Collateral Agent shall at the request of the Borrower, release all funds in such cash collateral account (less any amounts that have been applied in accordance with the immediately following sentence) to the applicable Pledgor promptly upon the cure or waiver of all Events of Default. Subject to any Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may (and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders), from time to time, apply the collected balances in said cash collateral account to the payment of the Secured Obligations then due in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2 hereof and the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement.
SECTION vi..Pledgors’ Obligations Upon Event of Default.  Upon the request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor will:
(1)Assembly of Collateral.  Assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral at a place or places specified by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and such Pledgor.
(2)Secured Party Access.  Permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Pledgors where all or any part of the Collateral is located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, to remove all or any part of the Collateral and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Pledgor for such use and occupancy; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Pledgor with notice thereof prior to such occupancy or use.

To the extent permitted by law, all rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Agreement Document, any other agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Credit Agreement Document, any Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement (other than a defense of payment or performance of such Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made)).
SECTION iii..Limitation By Law.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
SECTION iv..Binding Effect; Several Agreements.  This Agreement shall become effective as to any party to this Agreement when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such party shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such party and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns, except that no party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as permitted under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to 
-25-

each party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released in accordance with Section 5.9 or 5.15, as applicable.
SECTION v..Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and permitted assigns of such party and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Pledgor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns, provided that no Pledgor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except as permitted by Section 5.4 or the Credit Agreement Documents.
SECTION vi..Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(1)The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder by the Pledgors, and the Collateral Agent and other Indemnitees shall be indemnified by the Pledgors, in each case of this clause (a), mutatis mutandis, as provided in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(2)Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 5.6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the termination of this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.
SECTION vii..Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, in each case upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable (until termination of this Agreement) and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to applicable Requirements of Law and any Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and reasonable notice by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Pledgor, (a) to receive, endorse, assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral; (d) to sign the name of any Pledgor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (e) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (f) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise, 
-26-

realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (g) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (h) to notify, or to require any Pledgor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent as contemplated by Section 4.4; and (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.7 to the contrary, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 5.7 unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own or their Related Parties’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties hereunder.
SECTION viii..Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION ix..Waivers; Amendment.   No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Agreement Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Agreement Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.9, 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 or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or 
-27-

demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(1)Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor or Pledgors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent is authorized to amend, supplement or otherwise modify this Agreement without further consent of any Lender in the circumstances expressly contemplated by the definitions of “Junior Liens” or “Other First Liens” in the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of an officer of the Borrower as to whether any amendment contemplated by this Section 5.9(b) is permitted.
(2)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent may (in its reasonable discretion) grant extensions of time or waivers of the requirement for the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of insurance (including title insurance) or surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Closing Date for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Pledgors on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that perfection or obtaining of such items cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement, the other Credit Agreement Documents.
SECTION x..WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY 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, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT AGREEMENT DOCUMENT (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 5.10.
SECTION xi..Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Agreement Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby as to such jurisdiction, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions 
-28-

with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION xii..Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 5.4. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.
SECTION xiii..Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION xiv..Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.   Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any other party to this Agreement or any Affiliate thereof, in any way relating to this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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 this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Agreement Document against any Pledgor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(1)Each party to this Agreement 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 this Agreement or any other Credit Agreement Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.14. 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.
(2)Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5.1. Nothing in this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
-29-

SECTION xv..Termination or Release.  In each case subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements:
(1)This Agreement and the pledges made by the Pledgors herein and all other security interests granted by the Pledgors hereby shall automatically terminate and be released upon the occurrence of the Termination Date.
(2)(i) A Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder if such Pledgor is released from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement in accordance with Section 9.18(b) of the Credit Agreement and/or (ii) the Security Interest in any portion of the Collateral shall be automatically released upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances set forth in Section 9.18(a) of the Credit Agreement with respect to such portion of the Collateral, in the case of each of preceding clauses (i) and (ii), in accordance with the requirements of such Section (or clause thereof, as applicable), and all rights to the applicable Collateral shall revert to any applicable Pledgor.
(3)The Security Interest in any portion of the Collateral shall be automatically released upon such portion of the Collateral becoming Excluded Property or Excluded Securities (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Pledgor upon its reasonable request without any further inquiry).
(d)    In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 5.15, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements), and will duly assign and transfer to such Pledgor, any of such released Collateral that is in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than such termination or release without representation or warranty. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. In connection with any release pursuant to this Section 5.15, the applicable Pledgor shall be permitted to take any action in connection therewith consistent with such release including, without limitation, the filing of Uniform Commercial Code partial release amendments or termination statements, as applicable, in each case, as may be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent with respect to the released portion of the Collateral. Upon the receipt of any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute, deliver or acknowledge any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than such termination or release without representation or warranty. The Pledgors agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (and its 
-30-

representatives and counsel) in connection with the execution and delivery of such release documents or instruments.
SECTION xvi..Additional Subsidiaries.  Upon execution and delivery by any Subsidiary that is required or permitted to become a party hereto by Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement or the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement of the Credit Agreement of an instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (or another instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower), such subsidiary shall become a Pledgor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement. The rights and obligations of each party to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new party to this Agreement.
SECTION xvii..General Authority of the Collateral Agent.   By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Security Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (i) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Security Documents, (ii) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement and such other Security Documents against any Pledgor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Pledgor’s obligations with respect thereto, (iii) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Security Document against any Pledgor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Security Document and (iv) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Security Documents and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement then in effect.
(1)Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by Article VIII of the Credit Agreement, any Permitted First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the applicable Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Pledgor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
(2)It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Collateral Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and Article VIII of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Article VIII of the Credit Agreement.
-31-

SECTION xviii..Subject to Intercreditor Agreements; Conflicts.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder or the application of proceeds (including insurance and condemnation proceeds) of any Collateral, in each case, are subject to the limitations and provisions of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided therein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such applicable Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of such applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
SECTION xix..[Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION xx..Person Serving as Collateral Agent.  On the Closing Date, the Collateral Agent hereunder is the Credit Agreement Agent. Written notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent under (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent under (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement by a successor, that successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. The Collateral Agent immediately prior to any change in Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.20 (the “Prior Collateral Agent”) shall be deemed to have assigned all of its rights, powers and duties hereunder to the successor Collateral Agent determined in accordance with this Section 5.20 (the “Successor Collateral Agent”) and the Successor Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have accepted, assumed and succeeded to such rights, powers and duties. The Prior Collateral Agent shall cooperate with the Pledgors and such Successor Collateral Agent to ensure that all actions are taken that are necessary or reasonably requested by the Successor Collateral Agent to vest in such Successor Collateral Agent the rights granted to the Prior Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to the Collateral, including (a) the filing of amended financing statements in the appropriate filing offices, (b) to the extent that the Prior Collateral Agent holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the New York UCC or the Uniform Commercial Code or its equivalent in any other applicable jurisdiction) (or any similar concept under foreign law) over Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document, the delivery to the Successor Collateral Agent of the Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by this Agreement and (c) the execution and delivery of any further documents, financing statements or agreements and the taking of all such further action that may be required under any applicable law, or that the Successor Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Collateral Agent, and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors.
SECTION xxi..[Reserved].
SECTION xxii..Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.  No Secured Party that obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to, any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than 
-32-

in its capacity as a Lender, a Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, and, in any such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Agreement Documents, including without limitation Article VIII of the Credit Agreement. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement that obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, under Article VIII of the Credit Agreement and the appointment.

Exhibit I to the 
Collateral Agreement
Form of Supplement to the Collateral Agreement
SUPPLEMENT NO. [●] (this “Supplement”), dated as of [●], 20[●] to the U.S. Collateral Agreement dated as of April 30, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Collateral Agreement”), among MAGNITE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each Subsidiary Loan Party listed on the signature pages thereof and each other Subsidiary Loan Party that becomes a party thereto after the date thereof (all such Subsidiary Loan Parties, together with the Borrower, the “Pledgors”) and GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA, as collateral agent (together with its permitted successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined therein).
A.    Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto from time to time, the Issuing Banks party thereto from time to time, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent and the Collateral Agent, and the other parties party thereto.
B.    Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Collateral Agreement.
C.    The Pledgors have entered into the Collateral Agreement pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. Section 5.16 of the Collateral Agreement provides that additional Subsidiary Loan Parties may become Pledgors under the Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement to become a Pledgor under the Collateral Agreement.
Accordingly, the New Subsidiary agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.16 of the Collateral Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Pledgor under the Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Pledgor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Pledgor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Pledgor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of its Secured Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its permitted successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their permitted successors and permitted assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary, whether now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by the New Subsidiary; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral shall not include any Excluded Property or Excluded Securities. Each reference to a “Pledgor” in the Collateral Agreement shall be 

deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2.    The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.
SECTION 3.    This Supplement 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 Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4.    The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of any and all of (and, with respect to any Pledged Stock issued by an issuer that is not a subsidiary of the Borrower, correctly sets forth, to the knowledge of the New Subsidiary) the percentage of the issued and outstanding units of each class of the Equity Interests of the issuer thereof represented by the Pledged Stock and includes (i) all Equity Interests pledged hereunder and (ii) all Pledged Debt pledged hereunder now owned by the New Subsidiary required to be pledged in order to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement or delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) of the Collateral Agreement, (b) set forth on Schedule II attached hereto is a list of any and all Intellectual Property now owned by the New Subsidiary consisting of Patents and Trademarks applied for or registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and Copyrights registered with the United States Copyright Office, (c) set forth on Schedule III attached hereto is a list of any and all Commercial Tort Claims reasonably expected to result in a recovery greater than $1,000,000, (d) set forth on Schedule IV attached hereto is a list of all Deposit Accounts (other than any Excluded Accounts) of the New Subsidiary, including the name and address of the depositary institution, the type and purpose of each account and the account number and (e) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of organization and the location of its chief executive office. Schedule III hereto shall supplement Schedule IV to the Collateral Agreement.
SECTION 5.    Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6.    THIS SUPPLEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL 

BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7.    In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Collateral Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8.    All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Collateral Agreement) be in writing and given as provided in Section 5.1 of the Collateral Agreement.

As security for the payment and performance, as applicable, in full of its Secured Obligations, the Pledgor pursuant to the Collateral Agreement did, and hereby does, assign and pledge to the Collateral Agent, its permitted successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all of such Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under any and all of the following assets now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Pledgor or in which such Pledgor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, but excluding any Excluded Property, the “IP Collateral”):

This GUARANTEE AGREEMENT, dated as of April 30, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”), by and among Magnite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each Subsidiary of the Borrower listed on the signature page hereof and each other Subsidiary of the Borrower that becomes a party hereto after the date hereof (the “Guarantors”) and GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with any successor thereto, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the other parties thereto from time to time, have entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing for the extension of credit to the Borrower;
WHEREAS, it is a condition to the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty to guarantee the Obligations; and
WHEREAS, each Guarantor will obtain benefits from the extension of credit to the Borrower, and accordingly desires to execute this Guaranty in order to satisfy the conditions described in the preceding paragraph and to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the Borrower.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.    DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement unless otherwise defined herein. References to this “Guaranty” shall mean this Guaranty, including all amendments, modifications and supplements and any annexes, exhibits and schedules to any of the foregoing, and shall refer to this Guaranty as the same may be in effect at the time such reference becomes operative.
2.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each of the Guarantors party hereto on the Closing Date represents and warrants as of the Closing Date, and each Guarantor that becomes a party to this Guaranty pursuant to the execution of a supplement hereto in the form of Exhibit A hereto (with such modifications as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, each, a “Guaranty Supplement”) represents and warrants as of the date of execution of such Guaranty Supplement to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties:
(a)    Such Guarantor (i) is a partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except in each case where the failure to do so, 

individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except in each case where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except in each case where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Guaranty (or any Guaranty Supplement hereto, as applicable) and each other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby to which it is or will be a party.
(b)    The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty (or any Guaranty Supplement hereto, as applicable) (i) have been duly authorized by all corporate, stockholder, partnership, limited liability company or other organizational action required to be obtained by such Guarantor and (ii) will not (A) violate (1) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Guarantor, (2) the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents (including any partnership, limited liability company or operating agreements) or by-laws of such Guarantor, (3) any applicable order of any court or any law, rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or (4) any provision of any indenture, certificate of designation for preferred stock, agreement or other instrument to which such Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its property is or may be bound, (B) result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, give rise to a right of or result in any cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation (including any payment) under any such indenture, certificate of designation for preferred stock, agreement or other instrument, where any such conflict, violation, breach or default referred to in clause (ii)(A) or (ii)(B) of this Section 2(b), would reasonably be expected  to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, or (C) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by such Guarantor, other than the Liens created by the Loan Documents and Permitted Liens.
(c)    This Guaranty (or any Guaranty Supplement hereto, as applicable) has been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing and (iv) the need for filings and registrations necessary to perfect the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Collateral Guarantors in favor of the Collateral Agent.
3.    THE GUARANTY
-2-

(a)    Guaranty of Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance when due of the Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor shall exclude any Obligations of such Guarantor as a counterparty or direct obligor under any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended, renewed or increased, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension, renewal or increase of any Guaranteed Obligation. To extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any other Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.
(b)    Guaranty of Payment.  Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other person.
(c)    No Limitations.  Except for termination or release of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided for in Section 6(g) and subject to the provisions of Section 3(g), the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or un-enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise (other than defense of payment or performance). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) the failure of any other Guarantor to sign or become party to this Guaranty or any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Guaranty; (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the exchange, substitution, release or any impairment of, any security held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the occurrence of the Termination Date); (vi) any illegality, irregularity, invalidity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations 
-3-

or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Secured Cash Management Agreement, any Secured Hedge Agreement or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting to prohibit the payment by any Loan Party of the Guaranteed Obligations, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Loan Party of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligation (other than the occurrence of the Termination Date); (viii) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that such Guarantor may have at any time against any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, or any other corporation or person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein will prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; (ix) any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (x) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Secured Cash Management Agreement or any Secured Hedge Agreement, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (xi) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations; (xii) the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any equivalent or similar provisions under any Debtor Relief Law); (xiii) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any equivalent or similar provisions under any Debtor Relief Law) or in any other bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and (xiv) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent that might otherwise constitute a defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than defense of payment or performance or other than the occurrence of the Termination Date).
Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties (or the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties) to take and hold security in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive 
-4-

or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Guarantor, other than the occurrence of the Termination Date or the release of such Guarantor from this Guaranty pursuant to Section 6(g). The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Termination Date shall have occurred. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any other Guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.
(d)    Reinstatement.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(g)(i), each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(e)    Agreement To Pay; Subrogation.  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Loan Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Party in cash in immediately available funds the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Section 7 hereof.
(f)    Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of each Loan Party and their respective subsidiaries and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the 
-5-

Guaranteed Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks. In the event any Secured Party (including the Administrative Agent), in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Guarantor, such Secured Party (including the Administrative Agent) shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation, (ii) to disclose any information which such Secured Party (including the Administrative Agent), pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to such Guarantor.
(g)    Maximum Liability.  Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such persons that this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
4.    FURTHER ASSURANCES
Each Guarantor agrees, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, from time to time, any additional instruments or documents reasonably considered necessary by the Administrative Agent to cause this Guaranty to be, become or remain valid and effective in accordance with its terms.
5.    PAYMENTS FREE AND CLEAR OF TAXES
Each Guarantor agrees that (a) it will perform or observe all of the terms, covenants and agreements that Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement requires such Guarantor to perform or observe, subject to the qualifications set forth therein, and (b) any payment required to be made by it hereunder shall be subject to Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement, subject to the conditions and qualifications set forth therein.
6.    OTHER TERMS
(a)    Entire Agreement. This Guaranty, together with the other Loan Documents, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and 
-6-

thereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to a guaranty of the Loans and other extensions of credit under the Loan Documents.
(b)    Headings. The headings in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and are not part of the substance of this Guaranty.
(c)    Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such a manner to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(d)    Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
(e)    Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns. Whenever in this Guaranty any Guarantor is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and permitted assigns of such party and all covenants, promises and agreements by any Guarantor that are contained in this Guaranty shall bind and inure to the benefit of its respective permitted successors and assigns; provided, that no Guarantor shall have any right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder unless expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement or with such consents required by Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.
(f)    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Amendments.  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party provided in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, each other Loan Document, any Secured Cash Management Agreement or any Secured Hedge Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that it would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Guaranty or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section 6(f), 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 any Loan or the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. When making any demand hereunder against any of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any 
-7-

other Loan Party or Guarantor, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any Loan Party or Guarantor or any release of any Loan Party or Guarantor shall not relieve any of the Guarantors in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any of the Guarantors not so released of their several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any of the Guarantors. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified (other than termination or release of this Guaranty pursuant to Section 6(g)) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor or Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Secured Party, consent to a departure by any Guarantor from any covenant of such Guarantor set forth herein to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent set forth in the Credit Agreement.
(g)    Termination and Release.
(i)    This Guaranty shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date.
(ii)    A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 9.18 of the Credit Agreement.
(iii)    In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 6(g), the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release; provided, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the applicable Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose such Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the applicable termination or release without recourse or warranty and (iii) in the case of a release under Section 6(g)(ii), such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Guaranteed Obligations or the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6(g) shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the execution and delivery of such documents.
(h)    Counterparts.  This Guaranty may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Guaranty by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.
-8-

(i)    No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Guaranty. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Guaranty shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Guaranty.
7.    INDEMNITY; SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION
(a)    Indemnity and Subrogation.  In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 7(c)), the Borrower agrees that (i) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation of the Borrower, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (ii) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part a Guaranteed Obligation of the Borrower, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.
(b)    Contribution and Subrogation.  Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 7(c)) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Guaranteed Obligation owed to any Secured Party and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the applicable Borrower as provided in Section 7(a) hereof, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as applicable, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of such Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 7(a) hereof to the extent of such payment. The provisions of this Section 7(b) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
(c)    Subordination, etc.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 7(a) and 7(b) and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation of any Guarantor under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations until the occurrence of the Termination Date. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any of the Guarantors hereunder or any set-off or appropriation or application of funds of any of the Guarantors by any Secured 
-9-

Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any Loan Party or any collateral security or guarantee or right of set-off held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Termination Date shall have occurred, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Loan Party in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder until the Termination Date shall have occurred. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. No failure on the part of any Loan Party to make the payments required by Sections 7(a) and 7(b) (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower with respect to the Obligations or any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower shall remain liable for the full amount of the Obligations and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, upon the sale of all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor and the release of such Guarantor from the provisions hereof (whether by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with an exercise of its remedies or in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Credit Agreement), then any indemnification and contribution obligations otherwise provided above in this Section 7 with respect to the Guarantor which was so released shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, and if any other Guarantors have theretofore made payments hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations which have not yet been reimbursed in full, then any amount which would have otherwise been payable under this Section 7 by the Guarantor which has been released herefrom shall be reallocated to the remaining Guarantors based on their respective net worths as re-determined on such date.
8.    GOVERNING LAW
THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
9.    JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
(a)    Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party, or any Affiliate of the foregoing, in any way relating to this Guaranty or the transactions relating hereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, 
-10-

Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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 this Guaranty shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)    Each of the parties hereto 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 this Guaranty in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 9. 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.
(c)    Each party to this Guaranty irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 6(d). Nothing in this Guaranty will affect the right of any party to this Guaranty to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
10.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY (WHETHER BASED IN 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 GUARANTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.
11.    RIGHT OF SET-OFF
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligation at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective 
-11-

of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided, however, that (x) any recovery by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Affiliate pursuant to its set-off rights under this Section 11 is subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(c) of the Credit Agreement and (y) any Defaulting Lender’s set-off right hereunder shall be subject to Section 9.06 of the Credit Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 11 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender and such Issuing Bank may have.
12.    ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARIES
Upon execution and delivery by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party hereto pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement (or that is referred to in the definition of Guarantor in the Credit Agreement) of a Guaranty Supplement, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party to this Guaranty. The rights and obligations of each party to this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new party to this Guaranty. Each reference to “Guarantor” in this Guaranty shall be deemed to include such Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no circumstance shall an Excluded Subsidiary be required to become a Guarantor.
13.    AGENCY OF BORROWER FOR GUARANTORS
Each of the Guarantors hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices and the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and therein and all modifications hereto and thereto.
14.    COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Guaranty constitute, and this Guaranty shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
In this Guaranty, “Qualified ECP Guarantor” shall mean, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time its guarantee hereunder becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder (an “ECP”) and can cause another person to qualify as an ECP at such time by entering into a keepwell, support or other agreement under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Exhibit A
to the Guarantee Agreement
SUPPLEMENT NO. ___
TO GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
SUPPLEMENT NO.  , dated as of     ,     (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Supplement”), to the Guarantee Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), by and among Magnite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”) and each Subsidiary of the Borrower listed on the signature page thereof and each other Subsidiary that became a party thereto after the date thereof (together, the “Existing Guarantors”) and GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with any successor thereto, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties.
A.    Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of April 30, 2021 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among, inter alios, the Borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”) and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.
B.    Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
C.    Each Existing Guarantor has entered into the Guaranty in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit. Section 12 of the Guaranty provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Guarantors (as defined in the Guaranty) under the Guaranty by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary of the Borrower (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor under the Guaranty in order to induce the Lenders to maintain and/or make additional Loans and each Issuing Bank to maintain and/or issue additional Letters of Credit, and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.
Accordingly, the New Subsidiary agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 12 of the Guaranty, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Guaranty with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Subsidiary hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guaranty applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary does hereby guarantee to the Administrative Agent the due and punctual payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) as set forth in the Guaranty. Each reference to a “Guarantor” in 

the Guaranty and in this Supplement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Guaranty is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants (as to itself) to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of the Guaranty are true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Supplement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.
SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 6. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guaranty shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 6(d) of the Guaranty.
SECTION 8. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.
