You have further advised us that, in connection with the foregoing, you intend to consummate the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Description”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Description or the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Term Sheet”); this commitment letter, the Transaction Description, the Term Sheet and the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Summary of Additional Conditions”), collectively, the “Commitment Letter”).

the Credit Facilities (the “Closing Date”) as indicated therein) and in the Summary of Additional Conditions.
2.    Titles and Roles.
    It is agreed that (i) Truist Securities will act as lead arranger and bookrunner for the Credit Facilities (the “Lead Arranger” and, together with any Additional Arrangers (as defined below) appointed pursuant to the immediately succeeding paragraph in respect of the Credit Facilities, the “Lead Arrangers”) and (ii) Truist Bank will act as sole administrative agent and sole collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Credit Facilities.  It is further agreed that (i) in any Information Materials (as defined below) and all other offering or marketing materials in respect of the Credit Facilities, Truist Securities shall have “left side” designation and shall appear on the top left and shall hold the leading role and responsibility customarily associated with such “top left” placement and (ii) any Additional Arrangers (or their affiliates, as applicable) will be listed to the immediate right of Truist Securities in such order to be agreed among you, Truist Securities and such Additional Arrangers, in any Information Materials and all other offering or marketing materials in respect of the Credit Facilities.  Subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, you agree that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (as defined below)) will be paid to any Lenders (as defined below) in connection with the Credit Facilities unless you and we shall so agree.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, on or prior to the date which is fifteen (15) business days after the date on which you execute and deliver this Commitment Letter, appoint additional arrangers, bookrunners, agents, co-agents, managers or co-managers or confer other titles (other than administrative agent or collateral agent pursuant to the Fee Letter) in respect of the Credit Facilities (any such agent, co-agent, manager, co-manager or other titled institution, an “Additional Arranger”)  and in a manner and with economics determined by you in consultation with Truist Securities; provided that Truist Securities (or its affiliate) shall have no less than 60.0% of the total economics (excluding for this purpose any agency fees paid to Truist Bank for acting as Administrative Agent) under the Fee Letter with respect to the Credit Facilities (it being understood that, (a) any such Additional Arranger’s (or its affiliates’) several commitment shall be pro rata among the Credit Facilities, (b) such Additional Arranger (or its affiliates) shall assume a proportion of the commitments with respect to the Credit Facilities that is equal to the proportion of the economics allocated to such Additional Arranger (or its affiliates) and (c) to the extent you appoint (or confer titles on) an Additional Arranger in respect of the Credit Facilities, the economics allocated to, and the commitment amounts of, Truist Bank and Truist Securities will be proportionately reduced by the amount of the economics allocated to, and the commitment amount of, such Additional Arranger (or its affiliate), in each case upon the execution and delivery by such Additional Arranger of customary joinder documentation within such period reasonably acceptable to you, us and such Additional Arranger and, thereafter, such Additional Arranger shall constitute a “Commitment Party”, “Lead Arranger” and an “Initial Lender,” as applicable, under this Commitment Letter and under the Fee Letter).
3.    Syndication.
The Lead Arrangers reserve the right, prior to or after the Closing Date (as defined below), to syndicate all or a portion of the Initial Lenders’ respective commitments hereunder to the Credit Facilities to a group of banks, financial institutions, institutional lenders and other investors (together with the Initial Lenders, the “Lenders”) identified by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with and reasonably 

- 2 -
									
	DOC ID - 35765184.2
		

        

acceptable to you (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that we agree not to syndicate our commitments to Disqualified Lenders (as defied below).  Notwithstanding the Lead Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Credit Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto, except in connection with any assignment to an Additional Arranger and as otherwise agreed by you in writing, (i) no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Credit Facilities, including its commitments in respect thereof, until after the Closing Date, (ii) no assignment or novation by any Initial Lender shall become effective in respect of the Credit Facilities until after the Closing Date has occurred, including, without limitation, as between you and the Initial Lenders with respect to all or any portion of any Initial Lender’s commitments and (iii)  each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Credit Facilities, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred.
As used herein, “Disqualified Lenders” means (i) those banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders, in each case separately identified by name in writing to us by you prior to the date hereof, (ii) competitors that, directly or through a controlled affiliate or subsidiary or portfolio company, are engaged in the same or substantially similar line of business as you or your subsidiaries or the Target and its subsidiaries and identified by name in writing by you to us from time to time (which list of competitors may be supplemented by the Borrowers after the Closing Date by means of a written notice to the Administrative Agent) or (iii) in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), any of their affiliates (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any bona fide debt investment funds that are affiliates of the persons referenced in clause (ii) above) that are either (a) identified in writing by you from time to time to us (or, if after the Closing Date, by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent) or (b) clearly identifiable solely on the basis of the similarity of such affiliate’s name (as may be updated by you from time to time after the date hereof in accordance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the “Disqualified Lenders”); provided, that (x) Disqualified Lenders referenced in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall not include a bona fide debt fund, investment vehicle, regulated bank entity or unregulated lending entity that is engaged in, or that advises funds or investment vehicles that are engaged in, making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, debt securities and similar extensions of credit or securities in the ordinary course of business which is managed, sponsored or advised by any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with any competitor of you, the Target and your and their respective Subsidiaries or any affiliate of such competitor, but with respect to which no personnel involved with any investment in such person (other than a limited number of senior employees in  connection with internal legal, compliance, risk management or credit practices) directly or indirectly makes, has the right to make or participates with others in making any investment decisions with respect to such debt fund, investment vehicle, regulated bank entity or unregulated lending entity, and (y) any supplementations shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any parties that have previously acquired an assignment or participation interest in the Credit Facilities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement to the contrary, we agree that the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Credit Facilities, and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Credit Facilities, constitute a condition to the availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date.  The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter and as part of its syndication efforts, it is the intent of the Lead Arrangers to have Lenders commit to the Credit Facilities prior to the Closing Date (subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph).  Until the earlier of the date upon which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) has been 

- 3 -

completed and the day that is 30 days following the Closing Date (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), you agree to actively assist (and, to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Merger Agreement to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to actively assist) in completing a timely syndication of the Credit Facilities that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you.  Such assistance shall include, without limitation, (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact between appropriate members of your senior management, certain representatives and certain advisors of you, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand (and to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Merger Agreement, your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such contact between appropriate members of the senior management of the Target, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand), in all such cases at times and locations mutually agreed upon, (c) your assistance (including, to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Merger Agreement, the use of commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to assist) in the preparation and delivery of the Information Materials to be used in connection with the syndication, (d) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of one meeting (or conference call in lieu of any such meeting) to be mutually agreed upon of prospective Lenders at a reasonable time and location to be mutually agreed upon (and, to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Merger Agreement, your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause certain officers of the Target to be available for such meetings), (e) your using commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior to the launch of syndication of the Credit Facilities, customary pro forma projections of Holdings and its subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Target and its subsidiaries) for fiscal year 2021 and for each fiscal year thereafter during the term of the Credit Facilities (the “Projections”) and (f) prior to the Syndication Date (or, if later, the Closing Date), there being no competing issues, offerings, placements or arrangements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of you, the Borrowers or any of your or its subsidiaries (and, prior to the Closing Date, to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Merger Agreement, your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no competing issues, offerings, placements or arrangements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of the Target or any of its subsidiaries) announced, offered, placed or arranged (other than the Credit Facilities), in each case that could reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Credit Facilities, without the consent of the Lead Arrangers; it being agreed that the foregoing shall not apply to any debt permitted to be incurred by the Target or any of its subsidiaries under the Merger Agreement, drawings under existing revolving credit facilities or any ordinary course working capital facilities, capital leases, letters of credit, purchase money debt or equipment financings.  For the avoidance of doubt (but without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein), none of the foregoing shall constitute a condition to the commitments of the Commitment Parties hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the only Projections, financial statements and other financial information that shall be required to be provided to the Lead Arrangers shall be the Projections, financial statements and other financial information already provided as of the date hereof, or required to be delivered pursuant to paragraphs __and __ of Exhibit C attached hereto.
The Lead Arrangers, in their capacities as such, will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of any syndication of the Credit Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached (excluding Disqualified Lenders) and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (excluding Disqualified Lenders) (subject to your consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders.  For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would

violate any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding on, or waive any privilege that may be asserted by, you, the Target or your or its respective affiliates; provided that, at the request of the Lead Arrangers, to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Merger Agreement, you shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the relevant consents under such obligations of confidentiality to allow for the provision of such information. 
You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers will make available Information (as defined below), Projections and other customary offering and marketing material and presentations, including customary confidential information memoranda (the “Information Memorandum”) to be used in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities (such Information, Projections, other customary offering and marketing material and the Information Memorandum, collectively, with the Term Sheet, the “Information Materials”) on a confidential basis to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on Intralinks, Debt X, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic systems and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e. Lenders that have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of U.S. federal and state securities law, “MNPI”) with respect to you, your subsidiaries, the Target or your, your subsidiaries' or its respective securities and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with respect to you, your subsidiaries, the Target or your, your subsidiaries' or its respective securities) (each, a “Public Sider” and each Lender that is not a Public Sider, a “Private Sider”). You will be solely responsible for the contents of the Information Materials and each of the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to use and rely upon the information contained therein without responsibility for the independent verification thereof.  Each of the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to use and rely upon the information contained therein without responsibility for independent verification thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt (but without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein), none of the foregoing shall constitute a condition to the commitments of the Commitment Parties hereunder or the funding of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date.  
At the reasonable request of the Lead Arrangers, you agree to assist (and, to the extent not in contravention of the Merger Agreement, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to assist) us in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities that consists exclusively of information or documentation that is either (x) publicly available or of a type that would be publicly available (or could be derived from publicly available information) if you, the Target or any of your or its respective subsidiaries were public reporting companies or (y) not material with respect to you, the Target or any of your or its respective subsidiaries for the purpose of U.S. federal and state securities laws to be used by Public Siders (as determined by you in good faith and shall have been marked by you as “PUBLIC”).  It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, customary authorization letters will be included in any Information Memorandum authorizing the distribution of such information marked with “PUBLIC” as described in this paragraph to prospective Lenders and containing (i) a customary "10b-5" representation with respect to the information set forth therein consistent with the “10b-5” representation set forth in Section 4 of this Commitment Letter and (ii) a representation that the additional versions of the Information Memorandum do not include any MNPI about you, the Target, your or its subsidiaries or your or its securities. In addition, the Information Memorandum shall contain provisions in the “Notice and Undertaking by Recipients” section that exculpate you with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of, and each Lead Arranger and its affiliates with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of, the contents of the Information Memorandum or related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof.  Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to Public Siders, which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first 

- 5 -
									
	DOC ID - 35765184.2
		

        

page thereof.  By marking Information Materials as “PUBLIC”, you shall be deemed to have authorized the Lead Arrangers and the proposed Lenders to treat such Information Materials as not containing any MNPI (it being understood that you shall not be under any obligation to mark the Information Materials “PUBLIC”).
You acknowledge and agree that the following documents may be distributed to both Private Siders and Public Siders to the extent you shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents prior to their distribution unless you advise the Lead Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private Siders or otherwise contain private information:  (a) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda), (b) the Term Sheet (including a customary marketing version of the Term Sheet) and notification of changes in the Credit Facilities’ terms and conditions and (c) drafts and final versions of the Credit Facilities Documentation (as defined below).  If you advise us in writing (including by email), within a reasonable period of time prior to dissemination, that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private Siders, then Public Siders will not receive such materials without your consent.
    4.    Information.
You hereby represent and warrant that (to your knowledge with respect to information relating to the Target and its subsidiaries): (a) all written information and written data other than the Projections, budgets, estimates and other forward-looking information (other than information of a general economic or general or specific industry nature) that has been or will be made available to any Commitment Party, directly or indirectly, by you, or by any of your representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby for use in evaluating such transactions (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, does not and will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto) and (b) the Projections have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by you to be reasonable at the time such Projections are so furnished; it being understood that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material.  You agree that, if at any time prior to the Syndication Date (or, if later, the Closing Date), you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and the Projections were being furnished, and such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then you will (or, with respect to Information or Projections with respect to the Target or any of its subsidiaries, subject to any applicable limitations on your rights under the Merger Agreement, you will use your commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement or cause to be supplemented the Information and such Projections such that (and to your knowledge with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries) such representations and warranties are correct in all material respects under those circumstances at such time.  In arranging and syndicating the Credit Facilities, the Lead Arrangers (a) will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections contained in the Information Memorandum without responsibility for independent verification thereof and (b) do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or the Projections.

representation under this Section 4, the making of any supplementation thereof, or the accuracy of any such representation shall constitute a condition precedent to the availability and initial funding of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date.

	Guarantors:	Each Borrower (other than with respect to the obligations of such Borrower), and, subject to the proviso below, each direct and indirect, existing and subsequently acquired or organized wholly owned domestic subsidiary of each Borrower (collectively, the “Guarantors” and, together with the Borrowers, the “Credit Parties”) will jointly and severally guarantee (the “Guarantee”) all obligations under the Credit Facilities, under any interest rate protection or other hedging arrangements entered into with the Administrative Agent, a Lead Arranger, an entity that is a Lender at the time of such transaction or becomes a Lender following such transaction, or any affiliate of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Hedging Arrangements”) and under certain cash management arrangements of any Borrower or any Guarantor owed to the Administrative Agent, a Lead Arranger, any Lender or any affiliate of the foregoing (collectively, “Cash Management Arrangements”); provided that, Guarantors will not include (a) any subsidiary that is an immaterial subsidiary (with individual and aggregate thresholds of 5.0% and 7.5%of total assets and revenue, respectively) (each an “Immaterial Subsidiary”), (b) (i) a subsidiary that is acquired after the Closing Date that is prohibited by applicable law or by any contractual obligation existing at the time of such acquisition thereof (so long as not created in anticipation thereof) from guaranteeing the Credit Facilities, or which would require governmental (including regulatory) consent, approval, license or authorization to provide a Guarantee and such consent, approval, license or authorization has not been received or (ii) a subsidiary prohibited by applicable law or restricted from guaranteeing the Credit Facilities by contractual obligations to the extent such contractual obligation existed on the Closing Date (so long as such contractual obligation was not created in contemplation of the Transactions), (c) a special purpose entity used for securitizations or other structured finance transactions (a "Special Purpose Entity"), (d) a not-for-profit subsidiary, (e) a captive insurance company, (f) an Unrestricted Subsidiary (as defined below), (g) [reserved] (h) a subsidiary with respect to which, in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower Representative and the Collateral Agent, the burden or cost of providing a Guarantee will be excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom and (i) any subsidiary acquired after the Closing Date where the providing of a guaranty would result in material adverse tax consequences to the Borrowers or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative in consultation with the Administrative Agent.

In addition, the Borrower may elect to cause one or more of such excluded subsidiaries to become Guarantors; provided that no excluded subsidiary that is a foreign subsidiary may become a Guarantor without the consent of the Administrative Agent.  
Subject only to limitations on investments set forth in the Credit Documents and subject to no event of default and pro forma compliance with the  Closing Date Total Net Leverage Ratio (as hereinafter defined), the Borrower will be permitted to designate any existing or subsequently acquired or organized subsidiary of the Borrower as an “unrestricted subsidiary” (any subsidiary so designated, an “Unrestricted Subsidiary”).

The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary may only be made if no event of default exists or would result therefrom and the Borrowers are in pro forma compliance with the Closing Date Total Net Leverage Ratio, and any re-designation as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence or making, as applicable, at the time of designation, of indebtedness or lien of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable provided that upon a designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be deemed to continue to have an investment in the resulting Restricted Subsidiary in an amount (if positive) equal to (a) the Borrowers’ investment in such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such designation, less (b) the portion of the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative) of the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary attributable to the Borrowers’ equity therein at the time of such designation.. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no Unrestricted Subsidiary may hold any liens or equity interests of or in any Borrower, Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary (or any of their respective assets), (y) no subsidiary that owns or holds intellectual property that is material to the business of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (“Material Intellectual Property” may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and (z) no Material Intellectual Property may be transferred or contributed to an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

	Incremental Facilities:	The definitive documentation for the Credit Facilities (the “Credit Documents”) will permit the Borrowers from time to time, on one or more occasions, to (a) add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Term Loan Facility either as a separate tranche or a fungible increase to an existing tranche (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Facility”; the loans thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (b) increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (each, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Loan Facility, the “Incremental Credit Facilities”; for the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise specified, references herein to the Credit Facilities shall include the Incremental Credit Facilities) in minimum amounts to be set forth in the Credit Documents and in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (A) the greater of (1) $63.0 million and (2) 100% of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the last four fiscal quarters of the Borrowers for which financial statements have been delivered to (or are required to be delivered to) the Administrative Agent (the “Fixed Incremental Amount”) plus (B) an unlimited amount (the “Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount”), so long as on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Incremental Credit Facility (assuming the full amount of any Incremental Revolving Credit Facility is drawn) and after giving effect to any acquisition consummated in connection therewith and all other appropriate pro forma adjustments (without netting the cash proceeds of any Incremental Credit Facilities in calculation thereof),  the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined below) does not exceed 4.25:1.00, determined for the most recently completed four fiscal quarter period (the “Test Period”) for which financial statements have been delivered to (or are required to be delivered to) the Administrative Agent (based on the Adjusted EBITDA of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period) (this clause (B), the “Incremental Ratio Debt Basket”), plus (C) any voluntary prepayments and buybacks (limited to the actual amount of cash paid) of the Term Loan Facility and the Incremental Term Loan Facilities and voluntary prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility (to the extent accompanied by permanent commitment reductions thereto), payments utilizing the yank-a-bank provisions of the Credit Documents, in each case prior to such time other than any such voluntary prepayments (and commitment reductions), and buybacks to the extent financed with the proceeds of long term debt or any Cure Amount (as hereinafter defined) (this clause (C), the “Prepayment Amount”); provided that, in the case of an Incremental Term Loan Facility incurred to finance a Limited Condition Transaction (as defined below), compliance with the foregoing leverage ratios may be determined, at the option of the Borrower, as of the time of entry into the applicable definitive acquisition agreement (as opposed to at the time of incurrence of such indebtedness) and shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as of the most recent Test Period on or prior to the signing of the applicable definitive acquisition agreement), in each case determined for the most recent Test Period (treating all Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities as fully drawn, and with proceeds from any such Incremental Credit Facility not being netted from indebtedness for such calculation)(the sum of (A), (B), and (C) being referred to herein as the "Incremental Cap"); provided further:
(i)any Incremental Credit Facility will rank pari passu in right of payment and pari passu or junior in right of security with the Credit Facilities or will be unsecured and shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement or an intercreditor agreement the terms of which are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers;
(ii)except for Permitted Short Term Debt (as defined below), no Incremental Term Loan Facility will have a final maturity earlier than the maturity date of the then-existing Term Loan Facility (or earlier than 91 days after the maturity date of the then-existing Term Loan Facility for junior or unsecured Incremental Term Loan Facilities), and the weighted average life to maturity of each Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be no shorter than the then remaining weighted average life to maturity of the then-existing Term Loan Facility (for the purposes of this Term Sheet, “Permitted Short Term Debt” means any bridge financing which by its terms will be automatically converted into loans or other indebtedness that have, or extended such that it will have a maturity date and a weighted average life to maturity that complies with the applicable maturity and weighted average life to maturity requirement set forth above subject to customary terms and conditions to be agreed);
(iii)such Incremental Credit Facility shall not be (x) secured by any lien on any asset of the Borrowers, any Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries that does not also secure the then outstanding Credit Facilities or (y) guaranteed by any person other than Guarantors under the Credit Facilities;
(iv)(a) the terms and provisions (other than upfront fees) of the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Facility and shall be added to, and constitute a part of, the Revolving Credit Facility and (b) the terms and provisions (other than upfront fees and original issue discount, but subject to clause (vi) below) of any Incremental Term Loan Facility that increases an existing tranche of term loans shall be identical to the tranche of term loans being increased and shall be added to, and constitute a part of, such tranche;
(v)(a) the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality, in all respects), provided that if the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be applied to consummate a Permitted Acquisition (as defined below) or similar permitted investment for which the consummation of which is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (a “Limited Condition Transaction”), the accuracy of such representations and warranties may be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality to the extent agreed by the Lenders providing such loans; and (b) no event of default shall exist at the time of the incurrence of such loans and immediately after giving effect thereto; provided that, if the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be applied to consummate a Limited Condition Transaction, the lenders providing such loans may instead require only that no event of default shall exist at the time that the definitive transaction agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into and, on the date of incurrence thereof both immediately before and immediately after giving effect thereto, no payment or bankruptcy event of default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom (this provision, the “Limited Condition Provision”);
(vi)if the All-In Yield (as defined below) relating to any Incremental Term Loan Facility incurred using the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount that is (i) incurred on or prior to the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date and (ii) secured on a pari passu with the Credit Facilities, exceeds the All-In Yield relating to the Initial Term Loan Facility (calculated after giving effect to any amendment to interest rate margins under the Initial Term Loan Facility after the Closing Date but immediately prior to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan Facility) by more than 0.50%, the All-In Yield relating to the Initial Term Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the All-In Yield relating to such series of Incremental Term Loan Facility minus 0.50% (the “MFN Provision”);
(vii)(A) Incremental Term Loans that are secured on a pari passu with the Credit Facilities, shall share ratably in all voluntary and mandatory prepayments of Term Loans unless the lenders of such Incremental Term Loans elect to receive a lesser share of any such prepayment; and (B) any Incremental Term Loan Facility that is junior in right of security to the Credit Facilities or unsecured will participate in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments on a less than pro rata basis with the Credit Facilities;
(viii)except as otherwise required in preceding clauses (i) through (vii), all other terms of such Incremental Credit Facility, if not consistent with the terms of the existing Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable, will be as agreed between the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Credit Facility and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, the terms of any Incremental Term Loan Facility (other than with respect to pricing, margin, maturity and/or fees or as otherwise contemplated by any of clauses (i) through (vii) above) shall not be materially more favorable (taken as a whole) to the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Facility than such terms in the then-existing Term Loan Facility, as reasonably determined by the Borrowers in good faith (except to the extent (x) such terms are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or added in the Credit Facilities for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to an amendment thereto (with no consent of the Lenders being required) or (y) for terms applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the Credit Facilities existing at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loan Facility).
As used herein, “All-In Yield” means, with respect to any Term Loan or Incremental Term Loan on any date of determination, the yield to maturity (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent), in each case, based on the interest rate applicable to such Term Loan or Incremental Term Loan on such date (including any floor and margin) and giving effect to all upfront or similar fees (including original issue discount where the amount of such upfront fees and discount is equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity or, if the actual maturity date falls earlier than four years, the lesser number of years) payable with respect to such Term Loan or Incremental Term Loan and giving effect to any increase in interest rate margins or additional fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) provided with respect to the existing Term Loan in connection with such issuance (but excluding any upfront, structuring, commitment, arrangement, amendment, ticking or other similar fees that are not  distributed to Lenders generally).

For purposes of the foregoing, (I) the Borrowers may elect to use the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount prior to the Fixed Incremental Amount and the Prepayment Amount and if the Fixed Incremental Amount and/or the Prepayment Amount, on the one hand, and the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount, on the other hand, are each available and the Borrower does not make an election, the Borrower will be deemed to have elected to use the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount first and (II) the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount will be calculated without regard to any incurrence of indebtedness under the Fixed Incremental Amount and/or Prepayment Amount  concurrently with the incurrence of any amounts in reliance on the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount.  
Any portion of Incremental Credit Facilities incurred other than under the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount may be re-designated at any time, as the Borrowers may elect from time to time, as incurred under the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount if the Borrowers meet the applicable ratio under the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount at such time on a pro forma basis, at any time subsequent to the incurrence of such Incremental Credit Facility by written notice to the Administrative Agent on such date.
The Borrowers may seek commitments in respect of Incremental Credit Facilities from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders (other than Disqualified Lenders) who will become Lenders in connection therewith, subject to the Administrative Agent’s, Swing Line Lender’s and Issuing Bank’s consent (each such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent such consent would be required in connection with an assignment thereto under the heading “Assignments and Participations” below.  
In addition, the Borrowers may incur debt outside of the Credit Documents in lieu of adding Incremental Term Loan Facilities (“Incremental Equivalent Debt”), in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the Incremental Cap, when combined with all other Incremental Credit Facilities, on such terms as the Borrowers may agree; provided that, (i) other than Permitted Short-Term Debt, the maturity date and weighted average life to maturity of such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be no earlier or shorter, respectively, than the maturity date (or earlier than the 91st day after the maturity date of the then existing Term Loan Facility for junior lien or unsecured Incremental Equivalent Debt) and weighted average life to maturity (determined without giving effect to any prepayments that reduce amortization) of the Term Loan Facility, (ii) the terms of any junior-lien or unsecured Incremental Equivalent Debt (other than Permitted Short-Term Incremental Debt) shall not provide for any scheduled repayment, mandatory redemption, sinking fund obligations or other payment (other than periodic interest payments) prior to the earliest maturity date permitted by clause (i), above, other than the ability to participate (on a junior basis) in any mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan Facility, (iii) Incremental Equivalent Debt secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Credit Facilities may participate (on not more than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan Facility, (iv) borrowers and guarantors of Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be Credit Parties, (v) any secured Incremental Equivalent Debt shall (A) be subject to an intercreditor agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) not be secured by any property or assets other than Collateral; (vi) the other terms and conditions of such Incremental Equivalent Debt (excluding pricing, interest rate margins, fees, discounts, rate floors and optional prepayment or redemption terms) are (taken as a whole) not materially more favorable (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of Holdings) to the lenders or noteholders providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt than those applicable to the Term Loan Facility (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the earliest maturity date permitted by clause (i), above) as determined in good faith by the Borrowers; and (vii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt in the form of a term loan (or notes with the characteristics of a term loan) secured on a pari passu basis with the Term Loan Facility shall be subject to the MFN Provision.

	Limited Condition Transactions:	For purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of the Credit Documents which requires the calculation of any financial ratio (other than determining actual (versus pro forma) compliance with the Financial Covenant tested, subject to the Testing Threshold, at the end of each applicable quarter), (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, or the occurrence and continuation of a default or event of default or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in the Credit Documents, in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, at the option of the Borrower Representative (the Borrower Representative’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction (such election to be set forth in a writing that is delivered to the Administrative Agent), an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive acquisition agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which financial statements have been delivered (or are required to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers 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 Representative 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 of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios or baskets will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.  If the Borrower Representative has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket 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 calculation shall be made on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof) had been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Transaction has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated; provided further that, with respect to incurrence tests for the making of any Restricted Payments any such calculation shall also be made assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to occur in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated.

the Refinancing Term Facilities and the Refinancing Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to as “Refinancing Credit Facilities”), under the Credit Documents with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and the banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and investors providing such Refinancing Credit Facility or with one or more series of senior unsecured notes or loans or senior secured notes or loans or senior subordinated notes or loans that will be secured by the Collateral on an equal priority basis with the Credit Facilities or junior lien secured notes or loans that will be secured on a subordinated basis to the Credit Facilities and to the obligations under any senior secured notes or loans (such notes or loans, “Refinancing Notes” and, together with the Refinancing Credit Facilities, the “Refinancing Indebtedness”); provided that (i) any Refinancing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Short-Term Debt) does not mature prior to, or have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than, or with respect to Refinancing Notes, have mandatory redemption features (other than customary asset sale, insurance and condemnation proceeds events, change of control offers or events of default) that could result in redemptions of such Refinancing Notes prior to, the maturity date, or weighted average life to maturity, of the loans under the class that is being refinanced, (ii) the amount of any Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the amount of indebtedness being refinanced (plus any premium, accrued interest or fees and expenses (including original issue discount or upfront fees) incurred in connection with the refinancing thereof and any unutilized commitments thereunder), and the proceeds of any such Refinancing Indebtedness are applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment of outstanding loans (and, in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, pro rata commitment reductions) under the applicable Credit Facility being so refinanced, (iii) any Refinancing Indebtedness is not guaranteed by any entities that do not guarantee the Credit Facilities, (iv) in the case of any secured Refinancing Indebtedness (A) is not secured by any assets not securing the Secured Obligations (as defined below) and (B) is subject to customary intercreditor documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) no default or event of default under the Credit Facilities then exists or would result therefrom, (vi) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Facility, the Credit Documents shall include certain provisions to govern the pro rata payment, repayment, borrowings, Letter of Credit participations and commitment reductions of the Revolving Credit Facility, any Incremental Revolving Increase and such Refinancing Credit Facility (subject to certain exceptions to be agreed), (vii) if the indebtedness being refinanced was (A) contractually subordinated to the Credit Facility in right of payment, such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be contractually subordinated to the Credit Facility on the same basis, (B) contractually subordinated to the Credit Facility in right of security, such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be contractually subordinated to the Credit Facility on the same basis or be unsecured and (C) unsecured, such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be unsecured, (viii) any Refinancing Notes shall be documented outside of the Credit Documents, (ix) the terms and conditions of any Refinancing Indebtedness (excluding pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, fees, premiums and prepayment or redemption provisions) are not materially more favorable (when taken as whole) to the lenders or investors providing such Refinancing Indebtedness than the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents (when taken as a whole) are to the Lenders (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) (except for covenants or other provisions (x) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or added for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to an amendment thereto (with no consent of the Lenders being required) or (y) applicable only to periods after the latest maturity date of any Credit Facility or Incremental Credit Facility existing at the time of such refinancing) (it being understood that, to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any such Refinancing Indebtedness, no consent shall be required by the Administrative Agent if such financial maintenance covenant is either (i) also added for the benefit of any existing Credit Facility remaining outstanding after the issuance or incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness or (ii) only applicable after the latest maturity of the existing Credit Facilities) or consistent with current market terms for such type of indebtedness (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) and (x) any Refinancing Term Facilities shall share ratably in any voluntary and mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans (other than in connection with a permitted refinancing of a particular class or classes of Term Loans) unless (a) the lenders in respect of such Refinancing Term Facility elect to receive a lesser share of any such prepayments or (b) such Refinancing Term Facility is not pari passu in right of payment or security, as applicable (in which case such prepayments shall be shared on a less than pro rata basis).

	Mandatory Prepayments:	The Borrowers shall make the following mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans (subject to basket amounts, thresholds, carveouts and exceptions, in each case, as set forth in the Credit Documents): 
1.    Asset Sales: Prepayments in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by Holdings, the Borrowers and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (including insurance and condemnation proceeds and sale leaseback proceeds) subject to exceptions to be agreed and subject to the right to reinvest 100% of such proceeds, if such proceeds are reinvested in assets useful in the business (other than working capital assets except short term capital assets), including in permitted acquisitions or capital expenditures (or committed to be reinvested) within 12 months and, if so committed to be reinvested, so long as such reinvestment is actually completed within 180 days after such 12-month period; provided, that a portion of such proceeds required by the terms of other indebtedness with pari passu lien priority on the subject assets with the Initial Term Loans (“Other Pari Passu Debt”), may be applied on a pro rata basis to repay such Other Pari Passu Debt and shall be credited against the asset sale proceeds prepayment obligations in the Credit Documents on a dollar-for-dollar basis. 
2.             Incurrence of Indebtedness:  Prepayments in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the incurrence of indebtedness by Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, other than indebtedness expressly permitted under the Credit Documents (other than in respect of Refinancing Facilities).
3.    Excess Cash Flow:  Prepayments in an amount equal to 50% (with step-downs to 25% and 0% based on compliance with a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined below) not exceed to 3.75:1.00 and 3.25:1.00, respectively) of “excess cash flow” for each fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021); provided, the amount of any excess cash flow prepayment may, at the Borrower Representative’s option, be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of voluntary prepayments or repurchases of Loans under the Term Loan Facility, any Incremental Term Loan Facility secured on a pari passu basis, the Revolving Credit Facility (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent accompanied by a permanent corresponding reduction of the relevant commitment) and any Other Pari Passu Debt, in each case, paid from internally generated cash during such fiscal year (without duplication in any subsequent period) or at any time prior to the date on which such excess cash flow payment would otherwise be required to be made (but, in the case of any such prepayment made pursuant to the “Borrower” buy-back provisions, shall be limited to the actual amount of cash used to make such payment; provided further that, an excess cash flow prepayment shall be required in any fiscal year only if the amount required to be prepaid is greater than $5.0 million in such fiscal year (and only the amounts in excess thereof).
All mandatory prepayments above will be applied, subject to payment, if applicable, of the Prepayment Premium below, to prepay the Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans on a pro rata basis (unless the lenders under any such Incremental Term Loan Facility have elected a lesser prepayment) and, in each case, in the direct order of maturity.
Any Lender may elect not to accept any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to paragraph (1), (2) (except in respect of Refinancing Indebtedness, in each case, the proceeds of which refinance all or any portion of the Credit Facilities outstanding under the Credit Documents) or (3) above (such declined payment, the “Declined Proceeds”).

The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months (or, if agreed by all relevant Lenders, 12 months or a period shorter than one month) for Adjusted LIBOR borrowings.

		Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of ABR loans where the applicable rate is determined pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of ABR).
		Interest shall be payable in arrears (a) for loans accruing interest at a rate based on Adjusted LIBOR, at the end of each interest period and, for interest periods of greater than 3 months, every three months, and on the applicable maturity date and (b) for loans accruing interest based on the ABR, quarterly in arrears and on the applicable maturity date.
		“ABR” is the Alternate Base Rate, which is the highest of (i) the rate of interest established by the Administrative Agent, from time to time, as its “prime rate”, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% per annum, (iii) the one-month Adjusted LIBOR (after taking into account the Adjusted LIBOR floor referenced below) rate plus 1.00% per annum and (iv) 0.00% per annum.
		“Adjusted LIBOR” is the London interbank offered rate for dollars, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements; provided that Adjusted LIBOR shall not be less than 0.00% per annum (with LIBOR replacement provisions consistent with the ARRC “hardwired” approach).

Form of Solvency Certificate
SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE
[●], 2021
This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is delivered pursuant to Section [●] of the Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof among Priority Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings” or the “Borrower Representative”), Truist Bank, as the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders parties thereto. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

I, [●], solely in my capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower Representative, do hereby certify on behalf of Holdings and the Borrowers that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement:
The sum of the debt (including contingent liabilities) of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, does not exceed the present fair saleable value of the assets of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.
The present fair saleable value of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable Liabilities (including contingent Liabilities) of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, or their debts as they become absolute and matured.
The capital of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not unreasonably small in relation to their business, on a consolidated basis, as contemplated on the date hereof.
Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, have not incurred and do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts including contingent obligations, beyond their ability to pay such debts as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise).
For purposes of this Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability has been computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5).
In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, I have made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the consummation of the [Closing Date Transactions][DDTL Transactions] contemplated by the Credit Agreement. 
[Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank]
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I HAVE EXECUTED THIS Certificate as of the date first written above.

Form of Solvency Certificate
SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE
[●], 2021
    This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is delivered pursuant to Section [●] of the [●], dated as of the date hereof among Priority Technology Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [●].  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the [●].

I, [●], solely in my capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, do hereby certify on behalf of the Company that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the [Closing Date Transactions] [Acquisition Date Transactions] contemplated by the [●]:
The sum of the debt (including contingent liabilities) of Priority Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, does not exceed the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.
The present fair saleable value of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable Liabilities (including contingent Liabilities) of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, or their debts as they become absolute and matured.
The capital of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not unreasonably small in relation to their business, on a consolidated basis, as contemplated on the date hereof.
Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, have not incurred and do not intend to incur, or believe that they will incur, debts including contingent obligations, beyond their ability to pay such debts as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise).
For purposes of this Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability has been computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5).
In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, I have made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the consummation of the [Closing Date Transactions][Acquisition Date Transactions] contemplated by the [●].
