​

48

​

​
of any applicable Test Period, any Person that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.06, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.06.

(d)If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Debt Service Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness).  Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.  Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen in accordance with this Agreement for such period.
(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.06 or in any classification under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the disposition thereof has been entered into, no pro forma effect shall be given to any discontinued operations until such disposition shall have been consummated.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no Loans are being advanced to the Borrowers, and that no Mortgaged Real Properties exist, as of the date hereof. Until such time as Real Properties are acquired by the Loan Parties, no representation, warranty and/or covenant of the Loan Parties under this Agreement that specifically relates to Real Property shall be deemed breached or in non-compliance solely as a result of Holdings and its Subsidiaries failing to own Real Property.

For any such Borrowing (x) of SOFR Rate Loans after the Closing Date, each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested date of Borrowing and (y) of Base Rate Loans after the Closing Date, each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of the requested date of Borrowing.  Each Loan Notice shall specify (i) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a U.S. Government Securities Business Day), (ii) the Borrower receiving such Mortgage Loan Borrowing (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed by such Borrower, and (v) the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, if applicable.

Each Loan Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.03.2 shall specify (i) the Borrower or Borrowers requesting such conversion or continuation, (ii) whether such Borrower or Borrowers are requesting a conversion of Mortgage Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Mortgage Loans as SOFR Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a U.S. Government Securities Business Day), (iv) the principal amount of Mortgage Loans to be converted or continued, (v) the Type of Loans to which existing Mortgage Loans are to be converted, and (vi) the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, if applicable.

​
(A)If, following any full or partial disposition, sale or other material event with respect to a Mortgaged Property where the Administrative Agent reasonably believes a material change in value with respect to such Mortgaged Property has occurred, the Administrative Agent provides written notice to the Borrower Representative that the Outstanding Amount of all Mortgage Loans in respect of a Class exceeds 75% of the Aggregate Mortgaged Property Asset Value of such Class at such time, then the Borrowers shall prepay within ten (10) Business Days after receiving such notice, Mortgage Loans of such Class in an amount necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to such prepayment) the Outstanding Amount of all Mortgage Loans of such Class does not exceed 75% of the Aggregate Mortgaged Property Asset Value of such Class at such time. All payments under this clause (A) shall be applied in inverse order of maturity to all remaining amortization installments (including the final installment due on the Maturity Date), to the Mortgage Loans of such Class ratably among the Lenders of such Class in proportion to the respective amounts payable to them until paid in full.
(B)The applicable Borrowers shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders (to be applied as set forth in clause (e) below) on or before the date that is three (3) Business Days following the receipt thereof by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (i) in the case of a Disposition (other than a lease, sublease, license or sublicense) of the entirety of a Mortgaged Real Property, the amount necessary to repay in full the Outstanding Amount of all Mortgage Loans allocated against such Mortgaged Real Property at the time of Disposition or (ii) in the case of a Disposition (other than a lease or sublease) of a portion of a Mortgaged Real Property, the amount necessary to repay the Mortgage Loans allocated against such Mortgaged Real Property at the time of Disposition such that, after giving effect to such repayment under this clause (ii), the Outstanding Amount of the Mortgage Loans in respect of such Mortgaged Real Property does not exceed 75% of the Mortgaged Property Asset Value of such Mortgaged Real Property (after giving effect to such Disposition). Borrowers shall obtain one or more new Real Estate Appraisals in connection with any Disposition of a portion of a Mortgaged Real Property for purposes of calculating the Mortgaged Property Asset Value of such Mortgaged Real Property at such time.
(C)If there is material damage to, or loss or destruction of, all or any portion of a Mortgaged Real Property as a result of a Casualty Event in respect of such Mortgaged Real Property, the Borrowers shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent to be held or applied by it in accordance with this clause (C), on or before the date that is three (3) Business Days following the receipt thereof by any Borrower, the Net Available Proceeds resulting from such Casualty Event; provided, however, if such Net Available Proceeds  for restoration, repair or replacement of such Mortgaged Real Property (hereinafter called “Work”) is, or is reasonably expected to be (I) less than the lesser of (x) $3,000,000 and (y) 25% of the Mortgaged Property Asset Value prior to such Casualty Event, the Administrative Agent shall make such Net Available Proceeds (which Net Available Proceeds shall be permitted to be paid directly to the applicable Borrower (as opposed to the Administrative Agent)) available to the applicable Borrower for the costs of restoring such Mortgaged Property if (i) no Default or Event of Default exists and (ii) such Borrower causes the Work to be promptly commenced and diligently pursued or (II) equal to or greater than the lesser of (x) $3,000,000 and (y) 25% of the Mortgaged Property Asset Value prior to the Casualty Event, if (i) the Borrower Representative certifies ("Mortgagor's Certificate") to the Administrative Agent that there are sufficient Net Available Proceeds in respect of such Casualty Event  (and sufficient other sources of funds if the amount of such Net Available Proceeds is not sufficient to pay

for the Work), to fully pay for such Work on any portion of the Mortgaged Real Property and the projected appraised value of the Mortgaged Real Property upon completion of the Work is equal to or greater than the appraised value of the Mortgaged Real Property immediately prior to the Casualty Event, (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, and (iii) the applicable Borrower presents reasonably sufficient evidence to the Administrative Agent that the damaged property will be restored within two hundred seventy (270) days following such Casualty Event and in any event one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the applicable Maturity Date of the Mortgage Loan secured by such Mortgaged Property, then the Administrative Agent shall make such Net Available Proceeds available to the applicable Borrower and such Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days following disbursement of any portion of such Net Available Proceeds from the Administrative Agent, apply to Governmental Authorities for permits necessary to perform or cause the Work to be performed (as such sixty (60) day period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion), and within sixty (60) days of obtaining all such permits, commence to restore, repair, replace and rebuild such Mortgaged Real Property (as such sixty (60) day period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion), and thereafter continue diligently to complete the Work to restore the Mortgaged Real Property as nearly as possible to its condition immediately prior to such Casualty Event; provided that if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Net Available Proceeds and other amounts previously identified as available to the Borrower are insufficient to cause the Work to be performed in a manner that would satisfy the requirements in clause (II)(i) above (a “Shortfall”), then prior to any disbursement of such Net Available Proceeds, the applicable Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with satisfactory evidence that such Borrower has sufficient sources of funds, in addition to those previously identified, from which to pay such Shortfall.  If the conditions set forth in Mortgagor's Certificate are not satisfied with respect to a casualty within two hundred seventy (270) days following such Casualty Event, if the applicable Borrower shall otherwise fail to restore, repair, replace or rebuild such Mortgaged Real Property as provided above, then the Net Available Proceeds related thereto shall be promptly paid to the Administrative Agent as a prepayment and applied in accordance with clause (e)(i) or (e)(ii) below, as applicable.
(ii)The applicable Borrowers shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders (to be applied as set forth in clause (e) below) on or before the date that is three (3) Business Days following the receipt thereof by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, 100% of the amount of any Net Available Proceeds from:
(A)any Casualty Event (other than with respect to Mortgaged Real Property) for which Net Available Proceeds exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in any Fiscal Year; provided, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing from the date of such Casualty Event through the date of such usage, such Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within twelve (12) months of receipt thereof (or, if later, 120 days after the date that a Loan Party or Subsidiary has entered into a binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period) in assets useful to the business of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries or in connection with a Permitted Acquisition;
(B)(x) any Disposition (other than a lease, sublease, license or sublicense) pursuant to Section 6.05(b), (d), (e), or (o) by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of Real Property (other than Dispositions of Mortgaged Real Property) for
​

which such Net Available Proceeds exceed $1,000,000 and (y) all other Dispositions (other than a lease, sublease, license or sublicense and other than Mortgaged Real Property) which Net Available Proceeds exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in any Fiscal Year; provided, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing from the date of such Disposition through the date of such usage, such Borrowers shall have the option, directly or through one or more of their Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within twelve (12) months of receipt thereof (or, if later, 120 days after the date that a Loan Party or Subsidiary has entered into a binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period) in assets useful to the business of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries or in connection with a Permitted Acquisition; and
(C)the issuance or other incurrence of any Indebtedness of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries not permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.03.
The provisions of this Section 2.03.4(b) shall not be deemed a waiver of or constitute the implied consent of the Lender Parties to any transactions which are either prohibited by the terms of the Credit Documents or which by the terms of any of the Credit Documents require the prior consent of any or all of the Lender Parties.
(c)Specified Equity Contribution.  Promptly upon receipt (and in any event by the date set forth in the definition of Specified Equity Contribution) of the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution, the applicable Borrowers shall pay 100% of the amount of such Specified Equity Contribution to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders (to be applied as set forth in clause (e) below).

Section 2.06.Interest Terms Applicable To The Loans.
2.06.1Generally. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06.2, 2.06.3, and 2.06.4 below, (i) each SOFR Borrowing of a Mortgage Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the SOFR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for SOFR Borrowings for such Class; and (ii) each Base Rate Borrowing of a Mortgage Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Borrowings for such Class.  Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.06.2Default Rate.
(a)During the existence an Event of Default under Sections 7.01.1, 7.01.7 or 7.01.8, automatically and without the requirement of any notice, and at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders during the existence of any other Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and all fees and other Obligations owed hereunder, including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition
​

58

​

​
interest in any proceeding under the Debtor Relief Laws or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at the applicable Default Rate; provided, in the case of SOFR Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such SOFR Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at the Default Rate for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.06.2 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.  Imposition of the Default Rate may, at the election of the Required Lenders, be applied retroactively to the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default).
(b)Without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the Lender Parties by this Agreement or applicable Laws, accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
2.06.3SOFR Borrowing Option.
(a)Breakage Costs. The applicable Borrowers promise to compensate the Lenders from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days following demand from any Lender through the Administrative Agent, for all customary losses, expenses, costs and liabilities (including all interest paid to lenders of funds borrowed by the Lenders to carry SOFR Borrowings) which any of the Lenders actually incurs if: (A) any repayment or prepayment of any SOFR Borrowings (including any payment resulting from the acceleration of the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or from an assignment required by Section 10.12 of this Agreement) or any conversion of a SOFR Borrowing for any reason, in each case occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period; or (B) any failure by the applicable Borrowers to borrow a SOFR Borrowing or convert a Base Rate Borrowing to a SOFR Borrowing on the date for such borrowing or conversion specified in the relevant notice of election given by the applicable Borrowers to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)Availability of Interest Rates Based Upon SOFR.  Subject to Section 2.06.3(f) below, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a SOFR Borrowing: (i) the Administrative Agent is advised that the Required Lenders have reasonably determined that a Change In Law or a change in market conditions has made it impractical for the Lenders to offer pricing based on the SOFR Rate; or (ii) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the SOFR Rate for such Interest Period; or (iii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the SOFR Rate applicable to such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining the proposed SOFR Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request to convert any borrowing to, or continue any borrowing as, a SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective and any requested SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Borrowings.
(c)Illegality.  Subject to Section 2.06.3(f) below, if any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, determine, maintain, fund or charge any interest based upon SOFR with respect to any Borrowing, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Representative through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, determine, maintain, fund or charge interest based upon SOFR with respect to any Borrowing or continue SOFR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or
​

59

​

​
maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the SOFR Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on such Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all SOFR Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on such Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the SOFR Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Rate Loans or if such Loans bear interest based upon a daily-adjusting SOFR Rate and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the SOFR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the SOFR 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 SOFR Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, each applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
(d)Termination of Right to Elect SOFR Borrowings.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, and without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders during any continuing Default or Event of Default may suspend the right of the Borrowers to elect any new SOFR Borrowing or to convert any Base Rate Borrowing into a SOFR Borrowing or to permit any SOFR Borrowing to be continued as a SOFR Borrowing, in which case all SOFR Borrowings shall be converted (on the last day of the respective Interest Periods therefor) to Base Rate Borrowings.
(e)Interest Periods.  After giving effect to all Mortgage Loan Borrowings, all conversions of any Mortgage Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Mortgage Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twelve (12) Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Mortgage Loans; provided, that after the establishment of any new Class of Loans pursuant to an Incremental Amendment, the number of Interest Periods otherwise permitted by this Section 2.06.3(e) shall increase by one (1) Interest Period for each applicable Class so established.
(f)Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
(i)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment or further action or consent of any other party hereto, and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative may amend the terms of this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement, with any such amendment to become effective as soon as practicable for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative. No replacement of Term SOFR (or the then-current Benchmark) with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to clause (y) above will occur prior to the earlier of (i) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (ii)
​

60

​

​
if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 180th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 180 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication). Borrower Representative shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorney fees of one counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment and related actions, negotiation, documentation or enforcement of the terms hereof or any related matters contemplated in this Section 2.06.3(f).
(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation or administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit 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. Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any party hereto for any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes it reasonably makes in good faith.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.06.3(f), including, without limitation, 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, if made in accordance with this Section 2.06.3(f) and the definitions referenced herein, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error, and may be made in its or their reasonable good faith discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or other Credit Document (except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.06.3(f)) and shall not be a basis of any claim of liability of any kind or nature by any party hereto, all such claims being hereby waived individually by each party hereto.
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable good faith discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or nonrepresentative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
​

61

​

​
(v)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower Representative’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period and until a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with this Section 2.06.3(f), the Borrower Representative may revoke any pending  request for a SOFR Rate Loan, or conversion to, or continuation of, SOFR Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, (i) the Borrower Representative will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately.  During a Benchmark Unavailability Period, or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
(g)Term SOFR Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, to make Term SOFR Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendments implementing such Term SOFR Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Borrowers or any other party hereto.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Term SOFR Conforming Changes.
2.06.4Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans without any premium, penalty or fee, or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers. 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, in each case without any penalty, premium or fee.
Section 2.07.Fees.  The Borrowers agree to pay the following fees:
2.07.1Fee Letter.  The Borrowers agree to pay to the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent such fees as are required by the terms of the Fee Letter.
2.07.2Delayed Draw Facility Unused Commitment Fees. For each Fiscal Quarter, until the last day of the Availability Period for the Delayed Draw Facility, the Mortgage Loan Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the Mortgage Loan Lenders under the Delayed Draw Facility a per annum fee (the “Delayed Draw Facility Unused Commitment Fee”) calculated as (1) the average daily amount of the unfunded Delayed Draw Mortgage Loan Commitment multiplied by (2) one-fifth of one percent (0.20%). The Delayed Draw Facility Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the tenth day of the calendar month that immediately follows each Fiscal Quarter until the last day of the Availability Period for the Mortgage Facility, the first of such payments to be paid on January 10, 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the Delayed Draw Facility Unused Commitment Fee shall not apply to any portion of the Delayed Draw Mortgage Loan Commitment which has been terminated or reduced pursuant to Section 2.03.7.
​

62

​

​
Section 2.08.Computations of Interest; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.09.Evidence of Debt.  The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business, which accounts or records shall include (i) the portion of each Loan made to each Borrower and (ii) the Class of each Loan. Subject to Section 10.02.4, the accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the applicable Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Subject to Section 10.02.4, in the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) (i) a Mortgage Loan Note which shall evidence such Lender’s Mortgage Loans and (ii) any note entered into with respect to any Class of Additional Mortgage Loans which shall evidence such Lender’s Additional Mortgage Loan of such Class, in each case in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.  Any Mortgage Loan Lender may request a Mortgage Loan Note or a revised Mortgage Loan Note upon the funding of any Mortgage Loans on the Incremental Increase Effective Date in respect of a Mortgage Loan Increase.   Any Lender with respect to a Class of Additional Mortgage Loans may request a note upon the funding of such Additional Mortgage Loan which shall be in a form attached to the applicable Incremental Amendment or otherwise in a form consistent with the Mortgage Loan Notes, as the case may be.
Section 2.10.Pro Rata Treatment and Payments; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
2.10.1Distribution of Payments to Lenders; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.  Except as provided in Section 2.13, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off.  Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary by the terms of this Agreement, all payments by the Borrowers shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds prior to 2:00 p.m. on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed at the Administrative Agent’s Office.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender to which such payment is owed by wire transfer such Lender’s pro rata share of each of such payments in like funds as received.  The Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payments on the applicable date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders the amount due.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by a Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payments, then each
​

63

​

​
of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds 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 Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry customs and rules on interbank compensation.
2.10.2Funding of Loans; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.  The Lenders of each Class agree that the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender of such Class will fund timely its pro rata portion of each Borrowing under such Class requested by the applicable Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender or any Class has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing under such Class available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (a) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry customs and rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (b) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrowers, the applicable Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Borrowings.  If the applicable Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the applicable Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such share included in the subject Borrowing.  Any payment by the applicable Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrowers may have against a Lender of such Class that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
2.10.3Ratable Sharing.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) the making of Mortgage Loans shall be made from the Mortgage Loan Lenders of the applicable Class, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments for such applicable Class, and each termination or reduction of the amount of Commitments in respect of any Class under Section 2.03.7 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Mortgage Loan Lenders of such Class pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments in respect of such Class; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of any Class of Mortgage Loans shall be made for the account of the Mortgage Loan Lenders of such Class, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Class of Mortgage Loans held by them; (c) each payment of interest on any Class of Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders of such Class, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Class of Loans, then due and payable to the respective Lenders of such Class; and (d) the conversion and continuation of Mortgage Loans of a particular Type and Class (other than conversions provided for by Sections 2.06.3(c)) shall be made pro rata among the Mortgage Lenders of such Class, according to the amounts of their respective Mortgage Loans of such Class, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type and Class shall be coterminous.
2.10.4Setoffs, Counterclaims, Other Payments.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Class of Loans made by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and purchase (for cash at face value in Dollars) participations in the Loans of such Class of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such
​

64

​

​
payments with respect to such Class shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the their pro rata share of the Loans of, and other exposure with respect to, such Class, provided that:
(a)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
(b)the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of a participation any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.
Each Loan Party 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 such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
Section 2.11.Increase in Commitments; Additional Mortgage Loans.
2.11.1Request for Increase.  Upon  notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative on behalf of the applicable Borrowers may from time to time, request (i) to increase an existing Class of Mortgage Loans by requesting new mortgage loans be added to an existing Class of Mortgage Loans (“Mortgage Loan Increase”) and/or (ii) new mortgage loans under one or more new mortgage loan credit facilities to be included in this Agreement (“Additional Mortgage Loans” and, together with each Mortgage Loan Increase, an “Incremental Facility”); provided that (i) any Mortgage Loan Increase and any Additional Mortgage Loans may only be effected after the Delayed Draw Mortgage Loan Commitments as in effect on the Closing Date are terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all such Mortgage Loan Increases and Additional Mortgage Loans effected after the Closing Date shall not exceed One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) and (iii) any such request for a Mortgage Loan Increase or Additional Mortgage Loans shall be in a minimum amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Loans under an Incremental Facility may be made available on a delayed draw basis, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Incremental Amendment.
2.11.2Incremental Lenders.  Additional Mortgage Loans may be made and Mortgage Loan Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Mortgage Loan Increase or Additional Mortgage Loan, except as set forth in a binding written agreement executed by such Lender and specifically referencing the commitments in respect of such Mortgage Loan Increase or Additional Mortgage Loan) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Mortgage Loan Increase or Additional Mortgage Loan, in such capacity, an “Incremental Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Additional Lender’s making such Additional Mortgage Loans or providing such Mortgage Loan Increase to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.02.2 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender.

(a)With respect to each Mortgage Loan Increase and each Additional Mortgage Loan, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall determine the effective
​

65

​

​
date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Incremental Facility.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (i) the Incremental Lenders, and the existing Lenders of the amount and Class of such Incremental Facility and the Increase Effective Date, and (ii) the applicable Class of Incremental Lenders of the final allocation of commitments in respect of such Class.
(b)Any Additional Mortgage Loan tranches shall be designated as a separate Class of Mortgage Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.  On the Increase Effective Date on which any Additional Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loan Increase is effected or on any Incremental Funding Date, subject to satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.11 and in the applicable Incremental Amendment, to the extent provided in the Incremental Amendment, each Incremental Lender of such Class of Incremental Facilities shall make an Additional Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loan, as applicable, to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers under such Class of Loans in the amount required by, or requested pursuant to the terms of, such Incremental Amendment (not to exceed such Lender’s commitment in respect of such Class) and each such Incremental Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Loans of such Class.
2.11.4Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent one or more certificates dated as of the Increase Effective Date duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative or the applicable Loan Parties (a) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by each applicable Loan Party approving or consenting to such Incremental Amendment, and (b) certifying that, after giving effect to such Incremental Amendment, the financial covenant under Section 6.15 would be satisfied (after giving pro forma effect to such Mortgage Loan Increase and/or funding of Additional Mortgage Loans).  With respect to any Additional Mortgage Loans or Mortgage Loan Increase, all conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 hereof shall have been satisfied.  Any Mortgage Loan Increase or Additional Mortgage Loans shall be secured by Real Property that satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 5.15.3 (including Schedule 5.15.3); provided, however, that no Class of Mortgage Loans shall be secured by Real Property that secures any other Class of Mortgage Loans.  The proceeds of any Mortgage Loan Increase or Additional Mortgage Loans shall be available (a) to fund costs directly attributable to the acquisition of Real Property, and the finance of Real Property after it has been acquired by a Borrower or a Subsidiary (and to refinance other Indebtedness secured by such Real Property (including payment of closing costs and fees in connection herewith and therewith)), in an aggregate amount of up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Mortgaged Property Asset Value of each Mortgaged Real Property included in the Class applicable to such Mortgage Loan Increase or such Additional Mortgage Loan as reflected in the applicable Real Estate Appraisal provided under Section 5.15.3 (including Schedule 5.15.3), (b) to make Restricted Payments up to an amount equal to the amount of such Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement, and (c) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing; provided that, in each case, the proceeds of any single Class of Additional Mortgage Loans may be used to finance more than one Incremental Mortgaged Real Property that secures such Class of Additional Mortgage Loans.  After giving effect to any Mortgage Loan Increase or Class of Additional Mortgage Loans, the Outstanding Amount of the Mortgage Loans of the applicable Class (including the Mortgage Loans made pursuant to such Mortgage Loan Increase or Additional Mortgage Loans) shall not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the Mortgaged Property Asset Value of each Mortgaged Real Property included in the Class applicable to such Mortgage Loan Increase or Additional Mortgage Loans.
2.11.5Required Terms.
(a)The terms, provisions and documentation of any Additional Mortgage Loans of any Class, shall, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.11.5 or elsewhere in this Section
​

66

​

​
2.11 be as agreed between the Borrower or Borrowers under such Class and the applicable existing Lenders or Additional Lenders providing such Additional Mortgage Loans.
(b)The Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Additional Mortgage Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Mortgage Loans then outstanding.
(c)The maturity date of any Additional Mortgage Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date in effect at the time such Additional Mortgage Loans are incurred.
(d)Any Mortgage Loan Increase in respect of any Class shall be on the same terms applicable to the Class of Loans to which such Mortgage Loan Increase applies (other than with respect to upfront fees, arranger and similar fees).
(e)With respect to the Additional Mortgage Loans, the terms (other than interest rates, margins and floors, funding discount (including original issue discount), prepayment terms and premiums, fees (including upfront, arranger and similar fees), maturity date (which shall be consistent with clauses (b) and (c) above), amortization (which shall be consistent with clause (b) above), and other pricing, payment and economic terms), taken as a whole, shall not be materially more favorable to the holders of such Additional Mortgage Loans (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) than the terms of the Mortgage Facility, Delayed Draw Facility or any Additional Mortgage Loans, taken as a whole, in existence on the date of incurrence thereof (unless the Loan Parties agree to allow such terms to apply to the Mortgage Facility, the Delayed Draw Facility and any other Additional Mortgage Loans) except as provided in the other provisions of this Section 2.11.5.
2.11.6Incremental Amendment.  Commitments and Loans in respect of Mortgage Loan Increases of any Class and Additional Mortgage Loans of any Class shall become Commitments or Loans (and in the case of a Mortgage Loan Increase to be provided by an existing Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Commitment) of such Class under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the applicable Borrowers, each Incremental Lender providing such Commitments, the Administrative Agent (and each such Incremental Lender shall be recorded in the Register by the Administrative Agent and, to the extent such Person is not a Lender prior to such date, shall be subject to the requirements of Section 10.02 of this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything in any Credit Document to the contrary, the Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.11; provided that, notwithstanding anything in any Credit Document to the contrary, the Mortgage Loans and other Incremental Mortgage Obligations in respect of each Class of Additional Mortgage Loans shall be secured solely by the Incremental Mortgaged Real Property Assets applicable to such Class of Additional Mortgage Loans.  In connection with any Incremental Amendment, the Borrowers shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements, such amendments to the Security Documents and/or legal opinions with respect thereto, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Mortgage Loan Increases and Additional Mortgage Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Credit Documents.
2.11.7Pro Rata Sharing.  All Additional Mortgage Loans effected hereunder may participate (i) on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayments of Mortgage Loans hereunder and (ii) on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis in any mandatory
​

67

​

​
prepayments allocated to Mortgage Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03.4. No Class of Mortgage Loans shall be secured by Real Property that secures any other Class of Mortgage Loans
2.11.8Conflicting Provisions.  This Section 2.11 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.
Section 2.12.Increased Costs.
2.12.1Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change In Law shall:

(b)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(c)impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any SOFR Borrowing (that is not otherwise reimbursed or taken account of under this Agreement) made by such Lender;
(d)and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any SOFR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such SOFR Rate Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, , or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, within thirty (30) days following the request of such Lender or such other Recipient, the Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
2.12.2Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law (that is not otherwise reimbursed or taken account of under this Agreement) affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days following request, the Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
2.12.3Certificate for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in, and in accordance with, this Section 2.12 and delivered to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that any such notice shall only be effective if it includes the calculations of such amount or amounts and described in reasonable detail the events, facts or circumstances giving rise to such amount or amounts and a certification from such Lender that it is generally
​

68

​

​
charging such costs to similarly situated borrowers under similar circumstances. The Borrowers agree to pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.
2.12.4Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions (x) suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that the applicable Lender provides the Borrowers with written notice (which notice, in order to be effective, shall include a calculation of such costs and describe the events, facts or circumstances giving rise to such Lender’s incurrence thereof) or (y) generally charging similarly situated borrowers under similar circumstances (except 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).
2.12.5[Reserved].
Section 2.13.Taxes.
2.13.1Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.
2.13.2Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law.  If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
2.13.3Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties.  Without duplication of other amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Section, each Loan Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes attributable to such Loan Party.
2.13.4Indemnification.  Each applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) attributable to such Borrower and payable or paid by such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, the applicable Recipient shall reasonably cooperate with the applicable Borrower to mitigate or eliminate any such Indemnified Tax or, to the extent applicable, obtain a refund thereof.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, a Borrower shall have no obligations to indemnify a Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes incurred more than 180 days prior to such Borrower receiving prior written notice from such Recipient (which notice, in order
​

2.13.5Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (a) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (b) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.03 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (c) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.13.5.
2.13.6Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
2.13.7Status of Lenders.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent 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 Sections 2.13.7(b)(i), (ii) and (iv) below) 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.
(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers 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 Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(B)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(C)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(D)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(iii)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers 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 Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(iv)if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times
​

71

​

​
reasonably requested by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification, provide such successor form, or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
2.13.8Status of Agent. On or before the date the Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Borrowers two duly-signed, properly completed copies of the documentation prescribed in clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, (together with all required attachments thereto):  (i) IRS Form W-9 or any successor thereto; or (ii) (A) IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto, and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY or any successor thereto evidencing its agreement with the Borrowers to be treated as a U.S. Person for U.S. federal withholding purposes.  At any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or becomes obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers.
2.13.9Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.13 of this Agreement (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13.9 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13.9, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.13.9 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amount with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This Section shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
2.13.10Delay in Notification; Similarly Situated Borrowers.  The Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any Taxes or related costs suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such Taxes or related costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such Taxes or related costs is retroactive, the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) or (y) which such Lender is not generally charging similarly situated Borrowers under similar circumstances.

2.13.11Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.
Section 2.14.Mitigation Obligations.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 or 2.13, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section  2.13, then such Lender shall (at the request of any Borrower or the Borrower Representative) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Section 2.15.[Reserved].
Section 2.16.Payments.  If any payment is avoided or set aside under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 547 and 550 thereof, or any other Debtor Relief Law, the payment shall be considered not to have been made for all purposes of this Agreement and the Lender Parties shall adjust their respective records to reflect the fact that the avoided payment was not made and has not been credited against the Obligations.
Section 2.17.Advancements.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (i) any applicable Borrowers or any other applicable Loan Party fails to perform any of their respective agreements or covenants contained in the Credit Documents or (ii) any applicable Borrowers or any other applicable Loan Party fails to protect or preserve the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or the status and priority of the Liens of the Lender Parties in the Collateral or in any other security for the Obligations, then the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders may, during the continuance of such Event of Default, make advances to perform the same on behalf of the applicable Borrowers or other Loan Party to protect or preserve the Collateral or the status and priority of the Liens of the Lender Parties in the Collateral, and all sums so advanced during the continuance of such Event of Default shall immediately upon such advance become secured by the Liens granted in the Credit Documents, and shall become part of the principal amount owed to the Lenders with interest to be assessed in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not make any advance pursuant to this Section 2.17 if such advance, together with the aggregate amount of all other advances made by the Administrative Agent prior to the date thereof pursuant to this Section 2.17 (excluding any such advances for which the Administrative Agent has been repaid), would exceed 10% of the Total Credit Exposure of all Lenders on such date.  Each applicable Borrower promises to repay within ten (10) Business Days following demand all sums so advanced on such Borrower’s behalf, plus all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses or costs incurred by the Administrative Agent, on account of the Lenders, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees, with interest thereon in a manner consistent with Section 10.08.  The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to prevent the institution of the other rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  The authorization contained in this Section is not intended to impose any duty or obligation on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party to perform any action or make any advancement on behalf of the Borrowers and is intended to be for the sole benefit and protection of the Lender Parties.

Section 2.18.Defaulting Lenders.
2.18.1Defaulting 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 Laws:
(a)Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of Required Lenders and Required Class Lenders.
(b)Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.07 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans owed to all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Applicable Percentages under this Credit Facility. 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 2.18 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(c)Certain Fees.
(i)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Delayed Draw Facility Unused Commitment Fee or any commitment fee in respect of any other Class of Mortgage Loans for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(ii)With respect to any Delayed Draw Facility Unused Commitment Fee or any commitment fee in respect of any other Class of Mortgage Loans, in each case not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) above, the applicable Borrowers or the Borrower Representative shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fees.
2.18.2Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative
​

74

​

​
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, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause, as applicable, the Loans of each Class to be held by the Lenders of such Class pro rata as if there had been no Defaulting Lenders of such Class, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.18.3Termination of Commitments of Defaulting Lender.  The Borrowers may terminate the unused amount of the undrawn amount of any or all Classes of Commitments of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender under any Class of Loans or Commitments upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.18.1(b) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
Section 2.19.Co-Borrower Provisions.
2.19.1Borrower Representative.  To facilitate administration of the Loans, FRHP 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (a) is designated and appointed by each of the other Borrowers (and shall be deemed to be designated and appointed by each other Loan Party at the time that such other Loan Party becomes a Loan Party) as its representative and agent on its behalf (the “Borrower Representative”) and (ii) accepts such appointment as the Borrower Representative, in each case and with full power and authority to issue, execute, deliver and acknowledge as appropriate, Loan Notices and other borrowing requests, interest rate elections, notices of various events and occurrences required by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and certificates including Compliance Certificates, and to give instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, give and receive all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents and take all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Loan Party or Loan Parties under the Credit Documents.  The Administrative Agent and each Secured Party are irrevocably authorized to regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document from the Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Loan Parties or, as the context may require, the applicable Loan Parties referred to in such notice or other communication.  Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of any Loan Party by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Loan Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Loan Party to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Loan Party.
2.19.2Joint and Several Liability of Co-Borrowers.
(a)Each Borrower with respect to a Class of Mortgage Loans shall be jointly and severally liable as a primary obligor, and not merely as surety, for any and all Mortgage Loans of such Class and Obligations under and in connection with such Class of Mortgage Loans and now or hereafter owed to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Mortgage Loan Lenders of such Class, in each case, whether voluntary or involuntary and however arising, whether direct or acquired by any Mortgage Loan Lender of such Class by assignment or succession, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined.
​

75

​

​
(b)Benefit to Each Borrower.  Each Borrower represents and warrants to and covenants with the Lenders that (i) the Borrowers are engaged in operations that require financing on a joint basis and, accordingly, each Borrower will materially benefit, directly or indirectly, from the extension of the Loans by the Lenders; (ii) the Loans have been offered to the applicable Borrowers on the basis set forth in this Agreement and would not be available to the Borrowers on an individual basis without the credit support of the other Loan Parties on the terms and conditions stated herein; (iii) the benefits received by each Borrower are reasonably equivalent to the obligations undertaken by such Borrower and (iv) the delivery of funds to any Borrower in connection with the Loans under this Agreement shall constitute valuable consideration and reasonably equivalent value to all Borrowers.
2.19.3Postponement of Subrogation.  To the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, until all of the Obligations are paid in full (other than (w) contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made, (x) Swap Obligations owing to a Swap Provider that, at such time, are not required to be repaid pursuant to the terms thereof, and (y) obligations arising under Cash Management Products with Cash Management Banks that are cash collateralized or, at such time, are not required to be repaid or cash collateralized pursuant to the terms thereof), each Borrower waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity and recourse to security for any of the Obligations against any other Borrower.
2.19.4Waivers.  To the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, each Borrower unconditionally waives: (a) any requirement that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders first make demand upon, or seek to enforce or exhaust remedies against any (i) other Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) Collateral or other property of any Borrower or any other Loan Party; or (iii) other Person, before demanding payment from or seeking to enforce the Obligations against such Borrower; (b) any requirement of applicable Law that might operate to limit any Borrower’s liability under, or the enforcement of, the Obligations; (c) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for performance, notice of acceptance, notice of nonperformance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of extension, renewal, alteration or amendment, notice of acceptance of the Credit Documents, notice of default under any of the Credit Documents and all other notices whatsoever, except for notices specifically required pursuant to other provisions of the Credit Documents; (d) any obligation of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to provide any Borrower any information, including any information concerning any other Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Collateral, except for information specifically required to be provided pursuant to other provisions of the Credit Documents; and (e) any other claim or defense (other than payment in full) that otherwise would be available based on principles of suretyship or guarantee or otherwise governing secondary obligations.
2.19.5Obligations Among Loan Parties.  WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH BORROWER SHALL BE JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LIABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE OTHER LENDER PARTIES, IN EACH CASE, SOLELY TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.19.2 AND, IN EACH SUCH CASE, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY ALLOCATION OF LOSSES AND LIABILITIES PURSUANT TO THIS SUBSECTION OR OTHERWISE AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, EACH BORROWER HAS EXPRESSLY ASSUMED THE RISK THAT SUCH BORROWER’S ACTUAL LIABILITY MAY EXCEED SUCH BORROWER’S PRO RATA SHARE AND THAT OVERPAYMENTS MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE REIMBURSED OR INDEMNIFIED.  Subject to the foregoing, the Borrowers agree that the provisions of this subsection are intended to provide for an allocation of the Obligations among Borrowers.  Accordingly, as among the Borrowers of each Class, if any Borrower under such Class (the “Overpaying Borrower”) pays (whether directly or by application of Collateral), or is otherwise held liable for, Loans and related Obligations in connection with Loans under the Applicable Credit Facility, in each case, in excess of its pro rata share for the Overpaying Borrower, the other Borrowers under such Applicable Credit Facility will pay the amount of such excess to the Overpaying Borrower and will indemnify the
​

​

​
Overpaying Borrower for, from and against any claims, damages, loss or liability arising from or related to such overpayment.  The value to each Borrower of the rights and claims against the other applicable Borrowers provided above under this Section 2.19.5 is intended, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to prevent any Borrower from being rendered “insolvent” solely by virtue of the joint and several liability it may be subject to under Section 2.19.2.  The rights and obligations among Borrowers pursuant to this subsection shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations.
2.19.6Obligations of Borrower Representative.  The signature of Holdings or of any other undersigned Borrower (or any Borrower which joins into this Agreement pursuant to a Joinder Agreement) which is duly appointed and acting in the capacity as Borrower Representative from time to time pursuant this Agreement shall be sufficient to bind, and shall be enforceable against, such Borrower in its capacity as Borrower Representative in addition to its capacity as Borrower.
Section 2.20.Swap Obligations; Keepwell.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the Swap Obligations of any Loan Party that is not an Eligible Contract Participant shall not include any Excluded Swap Liabilities.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party in respect of the Swap Obligations; provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2.20 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.20, or otherwise under the Credit Documents, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Loan Party, to the extent that it is an Eligible Contract Participant, under this Section 2.20 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (w) contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made, (x) Swap Obligations owing to a Swap Provider that, at such time, are not required to be repaid pursuant to the terms thereof, and (y) obligations arising under Cash Management Products with Cash Management Banks that are cash collateralized or, at such time, are not required to be repaid or cash collateralized pursuant to the terms thereof).  Each Loan Party, to the extent that such Loan Party is an Eligible Contract Participant, intends that this Section 2.20 constitute, and this Section 2.20 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA.
Section 2.21.Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares
​

77

​

​
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 Credit 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.

Section 7.02.Equity Cure.  For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.15.2 of this Agreement as of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter (such date the “Testing Date”), from the Testing Date until the thirtieth (30th) Business Day after the date on which financial statements as of and for the period ending on the Testing Date are required to be delivered under the Credit Documents (the “Required Contribution Date”, and such time period from the Testing Date until the Required Contribution Date, the “Equity Cure Grace Period”), any cash equity contribution made and contributed to the Borrower Representative as an equity contribution in respect of its existing Equity Interests, will, at the request of the Borrower Representative, be included as Net Operating Income in the calculation of the Consolidated Debt Service Coverage Ratio solely for the purpose of determining compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.15.2 for such Fiscal Quarter and any subsequent period which includes such Fiscal Quarter (the “Cure Right”); provided, that (a) such proceeds are actually received by Borrower Representative no later than such Required Contribution Date, (b) such proceeds do not exceed the minimum aggregate amount necessary (by addition to Net Operating Income in clause (a) of the Consolidated Debt Service Coverage Ratio) (the “Cure Amount”) to cause the Borrowers to be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.15.2 for the relevant Test Period, (c) the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than four times during the term of the Credit Facilities, (d) in each period of four (4) consecutive Fiscal Quarters, there shall be at least two (2) Fiscal Quarters during which the Cure Right is not exercised, (e) 100% of the proceeds of the Specified Equity Contribution shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.03.4 (provided that, notwithstanding such prepayment, the corresponding reduction in Loans will not be taken into account for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.15.2 for the Fiscal Quarter in which the Specified Equity Contribution is made). If, after giving effect to any Specified Equity Contribution, the Borrowers are in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.15.2, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Section as of the relevant date of determination, and no Event of Default shall be deemed to have existed at any time with respect to such Section for the relevant Test Period. Specified Equity Contributions shall be counted solely for purposes of compliance with Section 6.15.2, as applicable and shall be disregarded for all other purposes including (A) whether or not Holdings or the Borrowers are in pro forma compliance with financial covenant to determine whether or not an action that is conditioned upon such pro forma compliance may be taken by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) for any other purpose under this Agreement. Unless the Borrower Representative notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it does not intend to exercise the Cure Right, during the Equity Cure Grace Period no Lender Party shall accelerate the Obligations or exercise any rights or remedies against the Loan Parties or against the Collateral solely as a result of any failure to comply with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.15.2, unless such failure is not cured pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right during the Equity Cure Grace Period; provided, however, that (i) such standstill period shall be solely with respect to a breach of the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.15.2, and (ii) no Lender shall be required to fund any Loan or other advance under the Credit Facilities during the Equity Cure Grace Period.

Section 8.04.Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents or otherwise under applicable Laws shall be cumulative and the exercise of any particular right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies in addition to, or as an alternative of, such right or remedy.  The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may seek one or more actions, claims and remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document, and seek any such actions, claims and remedies concurrently, successively or in any manner the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (as applicable) may choose during the continuance of such Event of Default, and the Borrowers hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the election of the Law of New York as governing law, or agreement to jurisdiction and/or venue in the State of New York be interpreted (by the parties hereto or by any court in any jurisdiction, whether in the Governing State or elsewhere) to so restrict or prohibit any such actions by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Loan Parties hereby waiving the requirements and protections of such laws to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws in order to give effect to this sentence.
Section 8.05.Application of Funds.  Any amounts received on account of the Obligations during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

Each Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider not a party to the Credit Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article 9 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto. Excluded Swap Liabilities with respect to any Loan Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Loan Party, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section.
ARTICLE IX
​
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 9.01.Appointment.  Each of the Lenders (including each Lender, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, in their respective capacities as a Swap Provider and a Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints M&T Bank as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and each Lender (including each Lender, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, in their respective capacities as a Swap Provider and a Cash Management Bank) authorizes M&T Bank as its respective Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit 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 such other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties and no Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions except as provided in Section 9.05. It is understood and agreed that
​

111

​

​
the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Laws. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
Section 9.02.Exculpatory Provisions.
9.02.1No Fiduciary, Discretionary or Implied Duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents and their duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature, except as otherwise set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not:
(a)be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise or as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit 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 Credit 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 Law, or that may cause a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(c)except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
9.02.2No Liability for Certain Actions.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 10.01) or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.
9.02.3Knowledge.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or of any event, impairment, or change, circumstances or conditions (financial or otherwise) which has had a Material Adverse Effect, unless and until written notice describing such Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect, is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by a Lender Party or by a Loan Party.
9.02.4No Duty to Inquire.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (c) 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, (d) the validity, enforceability,
​

112

​

​
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (e) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
Section 9.03.Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it whether written or oral and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 9.04.Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent, provided, however, that any such sub-agent receiving payments from the Loan Parties shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.  Neither Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 9.05.Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lender Parties and to the Borrowers.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrowers (unless a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is 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 who shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 and an Eligible Assignee.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrowers as provided above) and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders (the “Resignation Effective Date”)), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint, after consultation with the Lenders and the Borrower Representative, a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above that is an Eligible Assignee; provided that in no event shall any successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.  With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) except for any indemnity payments owed to the
​

113

​

​
retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrowers as provided above) appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and the provisions of Section 10.08 of this Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and its Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 9.06.Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 9.07.Administrative Agent May Hold Collateral For Lenders and Others.  The Lenders, and the Loan Parties acknowledge that any Security Documents relating to the Loans, the Obligations, or the Collateral, including all of such documents filed in the public records in order to evidence or perfect the Liens granted in the Credit Documents, may name only the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders as the secured party, mortgagee, beneficiary, or as lienholder.  The Lenders and the Loan Parties authorize the Administrative Agent to hold any or all of the Liens in and to the Collateral as the agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable under this Agreement.  Such Swap Providers, Cash Management Banks and Affiliates which are party hereto, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and/or any other Security Documents or Credit Documents, also hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to hold the Liens in and to the Collateral as their administrative agent.
Section 9.08.The Administrative Agent In Its Individual Capacity.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Lender acting as Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrowers, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
Section 9.09.Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the
​

114

​

​
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.08) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.08.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to (a) permit the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, or (b) authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
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 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 similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (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 to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) 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 Section 10.01 of this Agreement), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by 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 (iv) 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 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
​

115

​

​
vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.
Section 9.10.Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  The Secured Parties (including each Lender, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, in their respective capacities as Swap Provider and a Cash Management Bank) irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, automatically upon the occurrence of any of the following: (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document (i) upon the termination of all of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (w) contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made, (x) Swap Obligations owing to a Swap Provider that, at such time, are not required to be repaid pursuant to the terms thereof, and (y) obligations arising under Cash Management Products with Cash Management Banks that are cash collateralized or, at such time, are not required to be repaid or cash collateralized pursuant to the terms thereof), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale (including any Disposition) permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including the full or partial Disposition of any Mortgaged Real Property provided that the Borrowers comply with Section 2.03.4(b)(i)(B)), (iii) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Loan Party, upon release of such Loan Party from its obligations under the Credit Documents pursuant to clause (c) or clause (d) below, (iv) upon such property becoming Excluded Property, (v) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (and/or, if applicable, in the case of Mortgaged Real Property, the Required Class Lenders with respect to the Class of Loans directly secured by such Mortgaged Real Property) or (vi) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of amounts resulting from a Casualty Event sufficient to repay in full the Outstanding Amount of all Mortgage Loans allocated against such Mortgaged Real Property at the time of such Casualty Event; (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted under clause (h) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances; and (c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Credit Documents in its capacity as a Guarantor if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.  Upon the request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon (including as it relates to any particular Class), or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral (including as it relates to any particular Class).
Section 9.11.No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any Loan Party, its Affiliates or its agents, this Agreement, any other Credit Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby:  (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record-keeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d) customer notices or (e) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws
Section 9.12.No Other Duties, Etc.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Lead Arranger shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Credit Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative under the Credit Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable reimbursement is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to such Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Credit Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Credit Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against either Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against either Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws.  Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the respective Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that such Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Agent that such Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to such Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, such Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
Section 9.14.Erroneous Payments.
9.14.1If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding Section 9.14.2) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether  transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.14 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment
​

​

​
Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), 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 (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient 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. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 9.14.1 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
9.14.2Without limiting immediately preceding Section 9.14.1, each Lender, Secured Party or any other Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) 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 this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other Payment Recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(a)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(b)such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14.2.
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14.2 shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.14.1 or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.
9.14.3Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party under any Credit Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding Section 9.14.1.
9.14.4(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding Section 9.14.1, from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion
​

​

​
thereof) on its respective behalf)  (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class  with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender  shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(ii)  Subject to Section 10.02 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrowers or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
9.14.5The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Credit Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Credit Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative in any manner, including, without

119

​

​
limitation, duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment), (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Loan Party; provided that this Section 9.14 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment and (z) in no event shall any Loan Party’s obligations under this Section 9.14 result in duplicative payments.
9.14.6To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to  an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, 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 Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
9.14.7Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

​
10.02.2Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(a)Minimum Amounts.
(i)in the case of (x) contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in the immediately following clause (ii) in the aggregate, (y) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Mortgage Loan Lender’s Commitment in respect of any Class or Mortgage Loans of a Class at the time owing to it, or (z) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(ii)in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (ii), the aggregate amount of the Commitment of a Class (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or the principal outstanding balance of the applicable Class of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (in each case, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Commitment or Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Specified Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Commitment of the applicable Class held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the applicable Class of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.
(b)Proportionate Amounts.  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 with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to separate Classes of Loans and Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.
(c)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by the definition of Eligible Assignee or clause (a)(ii) of this subsection 10.02.2 and, in addition:
(i)the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Specified Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
(ii)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) a Commitment of a Class if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Commitment of such Class, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such
​

123

​

​
a Lender or (y) a Mortgage Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
(d)Assignment and Assumption; Notes.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.  If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate, and such transferor Lender shall promptly return any existing Notes held by such Lender to the Borrower (or, if lost, destroyed or mutilated, if requested by the Borrower a lost note affidavit including a customary indemnity).
(e)No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates (including Holdings) or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) or to a Disqualified Lender, unless, solely in the case of this clause (C), a Specified Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to any assignment or participation of Loans or Commitments to any Disqualified Lender.
10.02.3Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.02.2, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment (other than any Loan Party party to such 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 Borrowers 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 (a) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (b) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentages.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Laws without compliance with the provisions of this Section, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection 10.02.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.06.3, 10.08 and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as provided in Section 10.26 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
​

124

​

​
assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 the immediately following subsection 10.03.
10.02.4Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the amount of the Loans and Commitments and principal amounts (and stated interest) with respect to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of the Credit Documents.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
10.02.5Procedures for Implementing Lender Assignments.  Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee together with any Note or Notes subject to such Assignment and Assumption and any necessary consents to such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (b) record the information contained therein in the Register, (c) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, and (d) promptly deliver a copy of such Assignment and Assumption to the Borrowers.  Within seven (7) Business Days (or such later date agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after receipt of notice, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Notes, new Notes payable to such Eligible Assignee in amounts equal to the Commitments and Applicable Percentages assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and new Notes payable to the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Applicable Percentages retained by the assigning Lender.  Such Notes shall be in the aggregate stated principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes delivered to the assigning Lender.  The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrowers. The Borrowers expressly acknowledge that the cancellation of any Note or Notes and the replacement of any Note or Notes in accordance with this provision shall not constitute or be deemed to be a refinancing or a novation of any of the Obligations.
10.02.6Cashless Settlements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.
Section 10.03.Participations.  Any Lender may at any time (at its sole cost and expense), without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than to a Defaulting Lender, a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person), or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
​

125

​

​
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 2.13.5.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.  The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.06.3(a), 2.12 and 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13.7 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13.7 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 Section 10.02 of this Agreement; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.14 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.02 of this Agreement; and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 or 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense (but only to the extent the Borrower would have borne such expense to the participating Lender had no such Participation occurred), to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.14 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.07 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 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 Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or is otherwise required thereunder.  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 the Credit Documents notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
Section 10.04.Pledges.  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; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 10.05.[Reserved].
Section 10.06.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 Credit Document), each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, respectively, on the other hand, (ii) the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent the Borrowers have deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the

​
other Credit Documents; (b) (i) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger 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 any of the Borrowers or any of  their Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lead Arranger has any obligation to any of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers or their Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
Section 10.07.Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrowers or any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender, or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any of its Affiliates shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such Obligations of the Borrowers or any Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 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 (b) 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 their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, or their respective Affiliates may otherwise have under applicable Laws.  Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 10.08.Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
10.08.1Costs and Expenses.  The Borrowers promise to pay all Lender Party Expenses incurred from time to time.  The agreement of the Borrowers set forth in this Section 10.08.1 shall not merge into any judgment entered in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Documents but shall survive as a separate independent contractual agreement of the Borrowers.
10.08.2Indemnification by the Borrower Representative.  The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented expenses actually incurred (with respect to counsel fees, limited to the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel to all Indemnitees (taken as a whole) (and (x) if necessary, of a single local counsel to all Indemnitees (taken as

This Section 10.08.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
10.08.3Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to pay any amount required under Section 10.08.1 or 10.08.2 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), 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 Total Credit Exposure for all Lenders at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent).
10.08.4Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, each Loan Party and each Indemnitee agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against each other, 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 Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof (other than, in the case of any such Person, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by any other Person to a third party).  No Indemnitee referred to in Section 10.08.2 above 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 in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent such damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or material breach of the Credit Documents by such Indemnitee).
10.08.5Payments.  All amounts due under Sections 10.08.01 and 10.08.2 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower Representative of an invoice relating to such amounts and setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.

​
10.08.6Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.08 shall survive the termination of the Credit Documents and the payment of the Obligations hereunder.
Section 10.09.Course of Conduct.  No failure or delay by any Lender Party in exercising any right or power under any Credit 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 Lender Parties under the Credit Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Credit Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless such waiver is made in accordance with Section 10.01 of this Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No waiver or indulgence by any of the Lender Parties shall constitute a future waiver of performance or exact performance by any of the Loan Parties.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the advance of proceeds of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or an Event of Default, regardless of whether any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time of such advance or issuance.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

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 10.16.Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Credit Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Credit Documents is outstanding and unpaid.

​

​

​
10.26.2Substantially concurrently or promptly following any release of  a Loan Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower Representative all Collateral of such Loan Party held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Documents and, at the expense of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute (to the extent applicable) and deliver to the Borrower Representative for filing in each office in which any financing statement or other Security Document or instrument relative to such Loan Party or such assets for which Liens have been granted by such Loan Party in favor of the Administrative Agent, or any part thereof, has been filed, a termination statement under the UCC, or other agreement or document evidencing the release or termination of such Liens or such guarantee or other obligations, as applicable, releasing or evidencing the release and termination of such Liens, guarantee and obligations, and such other release documents as may be reasonably requested by any Loan Party.

To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for a Swap 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 Credit 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 Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be 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 Credit 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.

(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lender Parties and their respective permitted successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt, and, subject to clause (d) below, full and complete payment and performance by the Borrowers when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.
(b) Anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount which could be paid by such Guarantor without rendering this guarantee void or voidable as would otherwise be held or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action or proceeding involving any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2) (the “Maximum Amount”).
(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor on the date hereof under this Agreement without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party hereunder.
(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations are irrevocably satisfied in full (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made, (y) Swap Obligations owing to a Swap Provider that, at such time, are not required to be repaid pursuant to the terms thereof, and (z) obligations arising under Cash Management Products with Cash Management Banks that are cash collateralized or, at such time, are not required to be repaid or cash collateralized pursuant to the terms thereof) and all Commitments have been irrevocably terminated, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, notwithstanding that, from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement, no Obligations may be outstanding (such date, the “Collateral Termination Date”).
(e) Except as provided in Section 8.6, no payment made by the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party from the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the Maximum Amount of such Guarantor hereunder until the Collateral Termination Date.
2.2Right of Contribution.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.  Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3.  The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
2.3No Subrogation.  Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any
​

​

other Lender Party against the Borrowers or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrowers or any other Guarantor, and such Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such rights, in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until the Collateral Termination Date.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time before the Collateral Termination Date, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, and shall, forthwith upon receipt (but in any event, within 2 Business Days) by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, to the extent required, and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
2.4Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that until the Collateral Termination Date no change in the nature or terms of the Obligations or any of the Credit Documents, or other agreements, instruments or contracts evidencing, related to or attendant with the Obligations (including any novation), including, without limitation, the taking of further security for the Obligations, shall discharge all or any part of the liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to this guarantee, and each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be, amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms thereof, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of set-off at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Except for the obligation to use reasonable care with respect to any Collateral in its custody pursuant to the terms hereof, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Lender Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that until the Collateral Termination Date, such Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this paragraph, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, omission of the Lender Parties, or any of them, or their failure to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by the Lender Parties, or any of them, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, such Guarantor or by reason of any further dealings between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and any Lender Party, on the other hand, or any other guarantor or surety, and such Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability hereunder, or any right of counterclaim, cross-claim, or offset of any nature or description which it may have or may exist based upon, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers.
2.5Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

​

​

the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrowers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, with respect to the Credit Documents and the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives (other than a defense of the occurrence of the Collateral Termination Date) each of the following: diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default, dishonor, or nonpayment to or upon the Borrowers or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations; notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and all other defenses of a surety available by law but not otherwise mentioned.  Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, is a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection, without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrowers or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever  (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrowers or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower from the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee of such Guarantor contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance (other than the occurrence of the Collateral Termination Date). When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies, to exercise any right, power, or privilege, to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee, or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, shall not act as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Lender Party, shall not be construed as a course of dealing, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party against any Guarantor.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
2.6Reinstatement.  The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party upon the commencement or institution of an Insolvency Proceeding by or against the Borrower or any Guarantor, all as though such payments had not been made.
2.7Payments.  Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent (x) without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the Lending Office for the Administrative Agent and (y) free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Taxes on the same terms and to the same extent that payments by the Borrowers are required to be made pursuant to the terms of Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement, applying the provisions of Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement to such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis.
​

​

2.8Information.  Each Guarantor (a) assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and (b) agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Lender Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
2.9Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2.9 for its Maximum Amount that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.9, or otherwise under this guarantee, as it relates to such other Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made, (y) Swap Obligations owing to a Swap Provider that, at such time, are not required to be repaid pursuant to the terms thereof, and (z) obligations arising under Cash Management Products with Cash Management Banks that are cash collateralized or, at such time, are not required to be repaid or cash collateralized pursuant to the terms thereof). Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 2.9 constitute, and this Section 2.9 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Each Grantor further acknowledges and agrees that with respect to any interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled now or in the future by such Grantor and pledged hereunder that is not a “Security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC, such Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent in the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.08.4 of the Credit Agreement immediately following such election if such Grantor has elected to treat such interest as a “Security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC, and if such interest is represented by a certificate, to, no later than the later of (i) the date such Compliance Certificate is delivered and (ii) 30 calendar days after the date of such election (or, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its discretion), deliver such certificate and a stock power in respect thereof endorsed in blank to the Administrative Agent, or, while any Default exists, within 2 Business Days of such interest becoming represented by a certificate, in each case, pursuant to the terms hereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, without (to the extent permitted by Law) demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind  to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent permitted by Law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as are commercially reasonable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  The Administrative Agent and any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s written request, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.  The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of
​

​

any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.7 as provided in Section 6.6, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, return the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 15 days before such sale or other disposition..
6.8Private Sales.  Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
6.9Deficiency.  Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made, (y) Swap Obligations owing to a Swap Provider that, at such time, are not required to be repaid pursuant to the terms thereof, and (z) obligations arising under Cash Management Products with Cash Management Banks that are cash collateralized or, at such time, are not required to be repaid or cash collateralized pursuant to the terms thereof).
6.10Investment Accounts.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Credit Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Grantor or any other Person, with respect to any Grantor's Investment Accounts in which Administrative Agent's Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code, except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made, (y) Swap Obligations owing to a Swap Provider that, at such time, are not required to be repaid pursuant to the terms thereof, and (z) obligations arising under Cash Management Products with Cash Management Banks that are cash collateralized or, at such time, are not required to be repaid or cash collateralized pursuant to the terms thereof), instruct the bank maintaining such Investment Account for the applicable Grantor to (i) pay the balance of such Investment Account to or for the benefit of Administrative Agent, (ii) transfer any cash in such Investment Account to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, or (iii) liquidate any financial assets in such Investment Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market, to the extent applicable, and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 7.THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
7.1Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, effective upon and solely during the continuance of an Event of Default, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose

(vi)in accordance with the terms of Section 5.7, in the name of such Grantor or its own name, with respect to any Accounts or Chattel Paper with the government of the United States, or any department, agency, public corporation, or other instrumentality thereof, take such actions as are necessary to comply with all required procedures for the effective collateral assignment to the Administrative Agent of all moneys due or to become due under such Accounts

(vii)obtain injunctive or other equitable relief to compel the Grantor to complete all Assignment Actions.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option and upon prior written notice to the Grantors, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
7.2Duty of Administrative Agent.
(a)Beyond reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
(b)The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral of any Grantor in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Grantors’ Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Administrative Agent in good faith.
(c)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall be required to marshal any present or future Collateral for, or other assurance of payment of, the Obligations or to resort to such Collateral or other assurances of payment in any particular order.  All of the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party in respect of such Collateral and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.  To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of all such laws.
7.3Execution of Financing Statements; Control Agreements.   Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and, solely during the continuation of an Event of Default, other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral, in each case without the signature of such Grantor in such form from time to time and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) under this Agreement in the United States.  Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description “All of the assets of the Debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds thereof” or any similar phrase or description of similar meaning in any such financing statements.

			Execution Version

		

		
			AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
		

		
			This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of this 13th day of October, 2022 (the “Effective Date”) by and between World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (“WWE” or the “Company”) and Frank A. Riddick (“Riddick”) and amends and restates the Employment Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2021 (the “Original Agreement”) by and between WWE and Riddick.
		

		
			WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement to set forth the terms of Riddick’s employment with WWE on an at-will basis in the capacity of President and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and
		

		
			WHEREAS, by signing below, Riddick accepts and agrees to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
		

			
	
			
				 Section 1.
			Term/At-Will Employment.

		
			The parties agree that the term of this Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date; however, Riddick’s employment with the Company,  commenced effective as of November 5, 2021 (the “Start Date”) and the term of this Agreement and Riddick’s employment hereunder shall remain in effect until terminated by Riddick or WWE earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Term”). However, Riddick’s employment shall, at all times, be on an at-will basis, so that either WWE or Riddick may terminate his employment, and this Agreement, with or without cause or reason, at any time; however, if Riddick intends to terminate his employment, he shall provide WWE with at least 60 days advance written notice. However, early termination of this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions below concerning post-termination payments to Riddick and/or reimbursements due WWE.
		

			
	
			
				 Section 2.
			Position and Duties.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			During the Term, Riddick: (A) shall serve as the President and Chief Financial Officer of WWE, with such responsibilities, duties and authority as are customary for such position, as from time to time may be assigned to Riddick and subject to the direction of the Chief Executive Officer; (B) shall devote his full working time attention, and energies to the business affairs of WWE; and (C) agrees to observe and comply with WWE’s rules and policies as adopted by WWE from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Riddick may manage his personal investments, be involved in charitable and professional activities (including serving on charitable and professional boards) and, with consent of the Chief Executive Officer not to be unreasonable withheld, serve on for profit boards of directors and advisory committees so long as such service does not interfere with Riddick’s obligations hereunder. WWE agrees that, during the Term, Riddick shall be permitted to retain his current board memberships with Apache Industrial Services, Inc. and Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business.

				 (b)
			During the Term, Riddick shall report directly to, and be subject to the direction of, Stephanie McMahon-Levesque, Chairwoman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, and Nick Khan, Co-Chief Executive Officer. Riddick’s base of work shall be in WWE’s Stamford, Connecticut headquarters; however, he shall also render services at such other places within or outside the United States as WWE may direct from time to time and as may be reasonably necessary to effectively fulfill his duties and responsibilities.

			
	
			
				 Section 3.
			Compensation & Benefits.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			Base Salary. Effective as of July 22, 2022, Riddick’s base salary shall be $950,000.00 per annum, less applicable taxes and withholdings, payable on a bi-weekly basis in accordance with WWE’s standard payroll practices, subject to merit adjustments within the sole discretion of WWE (“Base Salary”).

			
	
			
				 (b)
			Incentive Bonus. During the Term, Riddick shall also be eligible to participate in the WWE Discretionary Bonus Plan and receive a discretionary annual bonus award thereunder (“Annual Bonus”). The funding of the plan is based upon WWE’s achievement of financial and/or strategic performance measures, as determined by WWE in its discretion. The bonus pool funding can increase, decrease or be forfeited based on the level of achievement of WWE’s and/or Riddick’s personal performance measures. Effective as of July 22, 2022, the target amount of Riddick’s Annual Bonus shall be 125% of the Base Salary. For purposes of calculating Riddick’s Annual Bonus for calendar year 2022, payment of Riddick’s Annual Bonus in respect of the period beginning January 1, 2022 through July 21, 2022 shall be calculated based on a target of 70% of Riddick’s annual rate of Base Salary effective during such period  (i.e., based on the then-effective Base Salary of $850,000.00), and payment of Riddick’s Annual Bonus in respect of the period starting July 22, 2022 through December 31, 2022 shall be calculated based on a target of 125% of Riddick’s current Base Salary. The fact and amount of Riddick’s individual award will be determined based upon those factors indicated above, and again, at all times within WWE’s discretion. The bonus for any calendar year will be paid by March 15th of the subsequent calendar year. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided herein, Riddick will not be eligible for any Annual Bonus, and no Annual Bonus or prorated Annual Bonus will be awarded, earned or payable to the extent Riddick is not employed and in good standing on the applicable bonus payment date.

			
	
			
				 (c)
			Sign-on Bonus.

			
	
			
				 (i)
			Following the execution of the Original Agreement by WWE and Riddick, Riddick received a one-time sign-on bonus in the amount of $1,000,000.00, less applicable withholding and deductions (“Sign-On Bonus”), payable in lump sum on the first payroll date following the Start Date.

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			However, if within the first 12-month period following the Start Date, Riddick voluntarily terminates his employment without Good Reason (as defined below), or if his employment with WWE is terminated by WWE for Cause (as defined below), then Riddick must reimburse WWE 100% of the Sign-On Bonus payment.

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			If, following the 12-month anniversary of the Start Date, but prior to the 24‐month anniversary of the Start Date, Riddick voluntarily terminates his employment without 
		

		 

		

			2

		

		

			 

		

 

			Good Reason, or his employment with WWE is terminated by WWE for Cause, then Riddick must reimburse WWE 66% of the Sign-On Bonus payment.

			
	
			
				 (iv)
			If, following the 24-month anniversary of the Start Date, but prior to the 36‐month anniversary of the Start Date, Riddick voluntarily terminates his employment without Good Reason, or his employment with WWE is terminated by WWE for Cause, then Riddick must reimburse WWE 33% of the Sign-On Bonus payment.

			
	
			
				 (v)
			Any reimbursement due under this Section shall be paid by Riddick to WWE within ten (10) days following the termination date, and Riddick expressly authorizes WWE to deduct reimbursement due from any other sums then otherwise owed him to the maximum extent permissible by law. This authorization is reflected by Riddick’s execution of the attached Exhibit A, dated as of November 3, 2021, as it was previously attached to the Original Agreement.

			
	
			
				 (d)
			Relocation Expense Benefits.

			
	
			
				 (i)
			Riddick was required to locate to work primarily out of WWE’s Stamford office currently located at 1241 East Main Street, Stamford, CT. In addition to relocation benefits, subject to WWE’s standard Relocation Expense Reimbursement Policy, WWE provided Riddick with the following:

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Up to 12 months of temporary housing and rental of a vehicle to be arranged for by WWE or Riddick (however, if arranged for by Riddick the cost must be pre-approved by WWE), and paid directly to the provider by WWE; and

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			Reimbursement for costs of shipment of household goods from South Carolina to New York or Connecticut upon relocation.

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			If within 12 months of the Start Date, Riddick voluntarily terminates employment without Good Reason or his employment is terminated by WWE for Cause, Riddick must reimburse WWE 100% of relocation costs incurred by WWE on his behalf or which were otherwise reimbursed to Riddick. Reimbursement is due WWE within 10 days following Riddick’s last day of employment, and Riddick authorizes WWE to reduce any final compensation due him to the maximum extent permissible by law to apply to any such amounts owed back to WWE. Accordingly, Riddick’s execution of the attached Exhibit A is intended to cover this reimbursement as well.

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			Riddick hereby acknowledges that most relocation expenses including temporary housing are considered ordinary income according to IRS regulations and will be added to Riddick’s taxable income on Riddick’s W-2 at year-end. Riddick understands and acknowledges that Riddick is responsible for all taxes associated with this additional income and to obtain his own tax reporting advice in connection with this benefit, as well as with all other compensation and benefits provided Riddick under this Agreement. Furthermore, all reimbursement is conditioned on Riddick’s submitting to WWE all appropriate receipts and any other documentation requested by the WWE within thirty (30) days of the expense being incurred by Riddick.

			
	
			
				 (e)
			WWE Equity.

				 (i)
			As a material inducement for Riddick to accept employment with WWE, Riddick was granted on the Start Date a Sign-On Inducement Grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of Class A Common Stock of WWE valued at $5,000,000 (the “RSU Award”). The number of shares for the RSUs was calculated using the average closing price of Class A Common Stock of WWE on the NYSE for the 30 days prior to the Start Date. The RSU Award is all times subject to and governed by the terms of WWE’s Omnibus Incentive Plan (“OIP”) and the applicable award agreement, which provides for claw-back and recovery of vested amounts due to accounting restatements, violations of WWE’s corporate policies or any breaches of the restrictive covenants contained in the award agreement, the terms of this Agreement, or of any other agreement between Riddick and WWE. The RSU Award (less applicable taxes and other deductions required by law) will vest in equal installments over four years beginning on June 30, 2022. The RSUs, as well as future shares, may also be subject to WWE’s stock ownership guidelines, and at all times, all other terms and conditions of Riddick’s eligibility for equity shall be governed by the OIP. 

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			During the Term, Riddick will also be eligible to participate in future stock programs that are offered to other key executives of WWE, including the Performance/Restricted Stock (PSU/RSU) program, at all times subject to WWE management’s and the Compensation and Human Capital Committee’s discretion. Further, all other terms and conditions of Riddick’s eligibility for equity shall be governed by the OIP and any applicable award agreements entered into thereunder. Effective as of calendar year 2023, Riddick’s equity grant shall have an annual target grant date value of $2.4 million.

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement and Section 4 herein, if Riddick voluntarily terminates his employment with WWE for any reason, or his employment with WWE is terminated by WWE for any reason, then any and all unearned or unvested WWE equity as set forth above shall be forfeited as of the last day of employment.

			
	
			
				 (f)
			Other Benefits.   During the Term, Riddick will be eligible for full company benefits on the first day of the month coincident or following his date of hire. WWE benefits include (but are not limited to): medical, dental, life and disability. Riddick will be automatically enrolled in WWE’s 401k plan at 3%. Should Riddick elect to opt out of the 401k auto-enrollment, please call Fidelity at 1-800-835-5097, after receipt of their confirmation letter. Subject to statutory limits, WWE currently matches to the 401k fifty percent (50%) of contributions up to six percent (6%) of salary. This match is subject to a one-year vesting and may be changed by WWE at any time within WWE’s sole discretion. As with all other employee benefits, these benefits are subject to change or deletion at any time within WWE’s discretion and without any particular advance notice. 

			
	
			
				 (g)
			Paid Time Off.   During the Term, Riddick shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation and three (3) paid personal days annually.  Vacation and personal leave accrual and use shall be subject to WWE’s policies as such policies may exist and/or be amended from time to time.

			
	
			
				 (h)
			Travel.   WWE will pay or reimburse, subject to and in accordance with its expense reimbursement/business travel policies, Riddick for reasonable and documented travel expenses incurred by Riddick in traveling between South Carolina and New York or Connecticut in performance of his duties, including personal air travel costs to and from the New York City area 
		

		 

		

			4

		

		

			 

		

 

			or Connecticut up to three weekends per month and holidays, and, to the extent reasonably necessary during the current COVID-19 pandemic or due to other extenuating circumstances, private air travel may be authorized for this purpose in advance by the Chief Executive Office from time to time. Riddick will be permitted to fly business class.    In addition, when the Company’s aircraft is not in use for business purposes, the aircraft may be used for the personal travel of Riddick and members of his immediate family and their invited guests. For any personal use of the aircraft in accordance with this Section, Riddick shall pay amounts which cover all incremental cost(s) that otherwise would result to the Company from such use.

			
	
			
				 Section 4.
			Payments Upon Termination of Employment.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			Termination of Employment Without Good Reason, For Cause, Death or Disability.  If, prior to the end of the Term, Riddick’s employment is terminated by Riddick without Good Reason, by WWE for Cause, due to Riddick’s death or due to Riddick’s Disability, with the sole exception of any accrued but unpaid Base Salary and any benefits to which Riddick may be entitled under any applicable plans and programs of WWE as of the termination date  (the “Accrued Benefits”), no payments upon termination will be due Riddick under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the end of the Term, Riddick’s employment is terminated by WWE due to Riddick’s death or due to Riddick’s Disability, subject to Section 4(d) below, Riddick will be entitled to acceleration and 100% vesting of the RSU Award.  

			
	
			
				 (b)

			a lump sum payment in an amount equal to one (1) times the sum of Riddick’s then current Base Salary and Annual Bonus at target performance for the year in which the termination occurs; 

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the prorated portion of the Annual Bonus Riddick would have otherwise earned for the year in which such termination occurs based on the number of days during such year in which Riddick was employed

			
	
			
				 (iv)
			subject to Riddick’s timely election in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act, as amended (“COBRA”) and continued eligibility, continued coverage for Riddick and any eligible dependents under WWE’s group health insurance coverage in accordance with the WWE Severance Policy; and

			
	
			
				 (v)
			acceleration and 100% vesting of the RSU Award.

			5

		

		

			 

		

 

			or within the two (2) year period following a Change in Control (as defined below) (each such termination of employment, a “Qualifying CIC Termination”), WWE will provide Riddick with the following benefits (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits provided under the WWE Severance Policy), subject to Section 4(d) below:

				 (iv)
			an Annual Bonus payment for the year in which the Qualifying CIC Termination occurs with the amount of such bonus, if any, based on actual performance, prorated for the portion of the calendar year that has lapsed prior to the Qualifying CIC Termination and payable in accordance with WWE’s standard practices regarding Annual Bonus payments;

			
	
			
				 (v)
			acceleration and 100% vesting of all then-outstanding equity awards, including without limitation, all special grants previously made to Riddick, and for any performance awards that have not previously vested, (x) any payout in respect of performance criteria that have not yet been attained as of the date of the Qualifying CIC Termination for any incomplete award period shall be determined based on 100% of target-level achievement and (y) any payout in respect of performance criteria that have been attained as of the date of the Qualifying CIC Termination for any incomplete award period shall be determined based on actual performance as of the date of such Qualifying CIC Termination in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement for such performance award; and

			
	
			
				 (vi)
			subject to Riddick’s timely election in accordance with COBRA and continued eligibility, continued coverage for eighteen (18) months following the Qualifying CIC Termination (or until Riddick becomes eligible for comparable coverage under the medical health plans of a successor employer, if earlier) (the “CIC COBRA Benefit Period”) for Riddick and any eligible dependents under WWE’s group health insurance coverage in which Riddick and any such dependents participated in immediately prior to the date of the Qualifying CIC Termination, to the extent permitted thereunder and subject to any active-employee cost-sharing or similar provisions in effect for Riddick thereunder as of immediately prior to the date of Riddick’s termination of employment; provided that such coverage shall not be provided in the event WWE would be subject to any excise tax under Section 4980D of the Internal Revenue Code or other penalty or liability pursuant to the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (as amended from time to time) or to the extent not permitted by other applicable law, and in lieu of providing the coverage described above, WWE shall instead pay to Riddick a monthly cash payment in an amount equal to the portion of the monthly COBRA premiums WWE would have paid during the CIC COBRA Benefit Period, after taking into account any active employee cost-sharing or similar provisions in effect for Riddick, with such monthly payment being made on the last day of each month of the remainder of the CIC COBRA Benefit Period.

				 (d)
			Separation Agreement Requirement.  Payments described in Sections 4(b) and (c) above (other than the Accrued Benefits) are conditioned on Riddick’s execution of a standard separation agreement, which shall contain, among other provisions, a full release and waiver of claims or potential claims against WWE as therein defined, a confidentiality and non-disparagement provision and re-affirmation of all other post-employment obligations by Riddick, in the form provided by WWE, which separation agreement must be executed and irrevocable by the deadlines set by then applicable laws, but no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the effective termination of employment, whichever is less.  Any payments or benefits otherwise payable during such period will accrue and be paid, without interest, on the first payroll date following such sixty (60)-day period.

			
	
			
				 (e)
			Definitions.  

			
	
			
				 (i)
			“Cause” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean: (A) the Chief Executive Officer’s determination that Riddick failed to substantially perform his duties listed in Section 2(a) (other than any such failure resulting from Riddick’s disability) which is not remedied within 30 days after written receipt of written notice from WWE specifying such failure; (B) the Chief Executive Officer’s reasonable determination that Riddick failed to carry out, or comply with, in any material respect, any lawful and reasonable directive of WWE consistent with the terms of this agreement, which is not remedied within 30 days after receipt of written notice from WWE specifying such failure; (C) Riddick’s conviction, plea of no contest, plea of nolo contendere or imposition of unadjudicated probation for any felony or crime involving moral turpitude; or (D) Riddick’s commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement misappropriation, willful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty against the Company.

			merger or consolidation involving WWE, unless, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of WWE’s common stock immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than seventy percent (70%) of both the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of WWE’s common stock and outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation; (D) the consummation (i.e. closing) of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of WWE, unless, following such sale or disposition, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of WWE’s common stock immediately prior to such sale, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than sixty percent (60%) of both the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the entity purchasing such assets in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of WWE’s common stock and outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such sale or disposition; (E) the consummation of any transaction described in (A) or (C) above, following which Vincent K.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Riddick asserts that one of the foregoing reasons exists for potential termination of employment, Riddick shall first provide WWE written notice specifying the nature of the reason and WWE will have at least thirty (30) days to cure or remedy the situation.  If Riddick has not terminated employment within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Good Reason situation or event that has not been cured or remedied by WWE, Riddick will be deemed to have waived the right to terminate on the basis of Good Reason with respect to the situation or event giving rise to Good Reason.

				 Section 5.
			Conditions of Employment.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			Further, Riddick’s continued employment shall be conditioned on: (i)  Riddick’s execution of this Agreement without modification; (ii) continued compliance with the terms of  the attached Exhibit A previously executed by Riddick; (iii)  continued compliance with the Non-Disclosure, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C; and (iv)  continued compliance with WWE’s Intellectual Property Release & Waiver, Conflict of Interest and Code of Conduct, Email Acceptable Use Guidelines, Equal Opportunity and Non-Harassment Policy, Employee Handbook Policy, Policy Prohibiting Insider Trading, Social Media Policy, and Fitness Center Waiver of Liability agreements, in each case, previously executed by Riddick.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			WWE hereby notifies Riddick pursuant to federal law that: (1) an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made: (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; and (2) an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

			
	
			
				 (c)
			The portions of any current or future WWE Severance Policy relating to the amount of severance payments shall not apply to this Agreement, and Riddick acknowledges that any post‐termination payments due him are only those payments specifically provided for under this Agreement.

			
	
			
				 Section 6.
			General Provisions.

			
	
			
				 (a)
			Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of the State of Connecticut. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the attachments and documents referenced herein, supersede any prior correspondence or documents evidencing negotiations between the parties, whether written or oral, and any and all understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, whether written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter of this Agreement.

		 

		

			9

		

		

			 

		

 

			
	
			
				 (c)
			Successors and Assigns. WWE’s rights under this Agreement may, without Riddick’s consent, be assigned by WWE, in its sole and unfettered discretion, to any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly, acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of WWE. WWE will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of WWE expressly to assume and to agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that WWE would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Riddick may not assign any of his rights and/or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of WWE, and any such attempted assignment by Riddick without the prior written consent of WWE will be void.

			
	
			
				 (d)
			Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with and subject to, the laws of the State of Connecticut without regard to its conflicts of law rules.

			
	
			
				 (e)
			Jurisdiction and Venue.

			
	
			
				 (i)
			Riddick irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for himself and his property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut and the State Courts of Connecticut for any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			The parties agree that the mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested to both: (A) the other party; and (B) counsel for the other party, of any notice required under this Agreement, or of any process required by any such court, shall constitute valid and lawful notice or service of process against them, as applicable, without the necessity for service by any other means provided by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent a court holds such means to be unenforceable, each of the parties’ respective counsel shall be deemed to have been designated agent for service of process on behalf of its respective client, and any service upon such respective counsel effected in a manner which is permitted by applicable law shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against the applicable party.

			
	
			
				 (f)
			Taxes; Section 409A Compliance. All payments under this Agreement or under any other WWE arrangement will be subject to applicable taxes and withholdings. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith or exempt therefrom. In no event whatsoever shall WWE be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Riddick by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.  A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” (as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) from WWE and from all other corporations and trades or businesses, if any, that would be treated as a single “service recipient” with WWE under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(3), and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if Riddick is identified on the date of his 
		

		 

		

			10

		

		

			 

		

 

			separation from service as a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then the following shall apply: (i) with regard to any payment that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, as determined by WWE in its sole discretion, and payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment shall be made on the date which is the earlier of: (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of Riddick’s  “separation from service”; and (B) the date of his death (the “Delay Period”) to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid to Riddick in a lump sum, and all remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. For purposes of Code Section 409A, Riddick’s right to receive any installment payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

			
	
			
				 (g)
			Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of Riddick and a duly authorized representative of WWE, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

			
	
			
				 (h)
			Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

			
	
			
				 (i)
			Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

		
			IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

In the event a reimbursement obligation is triggered pursuant to the Employment Agreement, I hereby authorize and direct WWE, to the fullest extent allowed by law, to withhold the maximum amount permitted toward such reimbursement due WWE from any remaining compensation of any type then due me. If there is any remainder due WWE, I will pay such remaining portion also pursuant to the Employment Agreement.

			In the event of an involuntary termination of employment due to a reduction in force, reorganization/restructuring, job elimination, or an involuntary termination of employment for reasons other than “cause” as defined below, WWE will provide severance benefits to the affected employee(s) in accordance with this severance policy (the “Policy”).  This Policy is effective as of March 24, 2014, and, with the exception of §4.4, below, it hereby supersedes and replaces any and all prior severance policies of the Company or representations of said policy’s severance amounts set forth in prior offer letters. This Policy shall be administered by the Company’s General Counsel or his/her delegate (the “Administrator”).

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 2.
			

			
	
			
			Eligibility:

			
	
			
				 2.1
			This Policy, which is intended to serve as the plan document as well as the summary plan description for the Policy, applies to all exempt and non-exempt, full-time employees of WWE or a subsidiary of WWE listed on Schedule A hereto (WWE and such subsidiaries collectively referred to in this Policy as “WWE” or the “Company”), which Schedule may be updated from time to time by the Administrator (as that term is defined below).  Part-time employees who work a minimum of thirty (30) hours per workweek on a regular, scheduled basis will also be eligible to receive severance as set forth herein.  

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 2.2
			In order to be eligible for severance under this Policy, an employee must have completed twelve (12) continuous months of service with the Company.

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 2.3
			Except in extraordinary circumstances to be determined within the sole discretion of the Administrator, benefits under this Policy will not be provided with respect to terminations of employment for reasons not listed in the “Purpose” Section above.  For instance, but without limitation, severance will not be provided where the termination of employment is due to death, disability, voluntary resignation, retirement or “cause” (as that term is defined below).  

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 3.
			

			
	
			
			Termination for Cause

			
	
			
				 3.1
			For purposes of this Policy, “cause” shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, and shall be defined as follows: 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 a.
			

			
	
			
			Theft or inappropriate removal or possession of property or any other act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty;

		 

		

			B-1

		

		

			 

		

 

			
	
			
				 b.

				 e.
			

			
	
			
			Insubordination or other disrespectful conduct;

			
	
			
				 f.
			

			
	
			
			Misuse or improper conduct leading to damage of employer-owned or vendor-            owned property;

			
	
			
				 g.
			

			
	
			
			Conviction of (or plea of guilty or no contest to) a crime that relates to and/or concerns the employee’s job functions, commission of a crime in the workplace, including at Company sponsored functions, or conviction of (or plea of guilty or no contest to) any felony;

			
	
			
				 h.
			

			
	
			
			Sexual or other harassment, discrimination or retaliation which is unlawful and/or which violates Company policy;

			
	
			
				 i.
			

			
	
			
			Possession of dangerous or unauthorized materials, such as, for example, explosives for firearms, in the workplace, including at Company sponsored functions;

			
	
			
				 j.
			

			
	
			
			Unauthorized disclosure of confidential or sensitive business information and/or any violation of Confidentiality agreement(s) executed by the employee;

			
	
			
				 k.
			

			
	
			
			Violation of safety rules or of any provision of the Company Code of Conductor Conflict of Interest policies;

			
	
			
				 l.
			

			
	
			
			Violation of any personnel policies of the Company or of any other Company workplace policy or procedure; and

			
	
			
				 m.
			

			
	
			
			Sub-standard job performance determined to rise to the level of constituting “cause” in the sole discretion of the Administrator, the applicable Department head, the Senior Vice President of Human Resources and the Chief of Staff, Chairman’s Office, provided that the Company gave the employee at least one written warning, including a description of the sub-standard job performance, and further provided that the Company provided the employee with at least a fifteen business day period in which to cure the unsatisfactory job performance, if such performance was capable of being cured.

			
	
			
				 n.
			

			
	
			
			Such other conditions or events that the Administrator, in its sole, good faith discretion, determines to constitute cause for termination of employment

			
	
			
				 3.2
			At all times, it is within the sole discretion of the Administrator to determine whether the employee’s termination of employment has been for “cause” as defined above, or otherwise whether this Policy applies to any particular termination.   

		 

		

			B-2

		

		

			 

		

 

			
	
			
				 3.3
			In addition, if a former employee who is determined to be eligible for benefits under this Policy is later determined by the Administrator to have engaged in conduct which, if known at the time, could have subjected such employee to termination based on “cause” as defined herein, or if such former employee breaches any obligation to the Company or otherwise causes harm to its business operations or reputation, then no further benefits will be paid to such former employee, and the Company will be entitled to immediate repayment of any and all severance benefits that were previously paid to such former employee, plus any and all costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Company in recouping such amounts. 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 4.
			

			
	
			
			Severance Amount:

			
	
			
				 4.1
			The amount of the severance is based on length of employment with WWE.  An employee eligible for severance under this Policy shall receive a severance amount equal to four (4) weeks of the employee’s base salary for each full year of service that the employee has worked at the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum severance amount under this Policy shall be four (4) weeks of base salary and the maximum severance amount under this Policy shall be fifty-two (52) weeks of base salary.  Severance is calculated on base pay only (i.e., straight time wages excluding overtime, commissions, bonuses, other incentive compensation and benefits) and employees will typically receive severance as a salary continuation benefit (continued payments on scheduled paydays beginning when the separation agreement referenced below is effective).  The period of time during which severance is paid is referred to hereinafter as the “Severance Period.” 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 4.2
			During the Severance Period, eligible employees who are covered by WWE’s group health insurance coverage at the time of their termination from employment and elect to continue their coverage in accordance with COBRA will be required to pay only the employee share of the applicable monthly premium in order to continue such group health insurance coverage.  Such group health insurance coverage shall be on the same terms as were in place at the time of the employee’s termination, including, without limitation, in connection with the percentage of the employee’s contribution to the cost of such premiums, but shall be subject to change from time to time during the Severance Period if and when such terms change for then current WWE employees.  At the conclusion of the Severance Period, the employee shall be entitled at his/her own expense to continue coverage pursuant to COBRA or any applicable successor legislation.  No cash equivalent will be paid if an eligible employee declines such continued coverage for any reason.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an employee shall not be eligible for the above-described COBRA arrangements if the employee is eligible for group health insurance coverage through other employment. 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 4.3
			An employee participating in WWE’s discretionary bonus program at the time of his or her termination, and only in the event the employee is not terminated prior to July 1 of the calendar year in which such termination is made effective, will also be eligible to receive a pro-rated bonus payment subject to the following rules.  This bonus payment shall be determined by WWE at the standard time that it determines then active employee 
		

		 

		

			B-3

		

		

			 

		

 

			bonuses, and payable at the standard time, and using the same factors which would otherwise be applied if the employee remained employed through that calendar year.  That bonus amount, if any, will then be pro-rated to the date of the employee’s last day of employment.  The employee will be advised of the applicable individual performance rating that will be applied prior to the execution of any release and waiver agreement referenced herein.    

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 4.4
			Executive officers (senior vice presidents and above) with individual agreements which provide for severance will continue to be eligible to receive severance benefits under said individual agreements, unless the severance applicable under this Policy exceeds the amount of severance payable under such individual agreement, in which case the individual will receive the severance benefits payable hereunder in lieu of receiving the severance under the individual agreements.  A schedule of the names of said senior officers shall be maintained by Human Resources. 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 5.
			

			
	
			
			Conditions to Receipt of Severance:

			
	
			
				 5.1
			All severance offered under this Policy will be expressly conditioned on the employee’s execution of a written separation agreement that includes, at a minimum, a full and irrevocable release and waiver of any and all claims and potential claims of employee, along with other standard provisions in a form acceptable to WWE. 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 6.
			

			
	
			
			Additional Terms:

			
	
			
				 6.1
			Like all other policies, WWE reserves the right to revise or terminate this Policy at its discretion and without advance notice.  Also as with all other policies, nothing in this Policy shall be interpreted as altering the at-will status of employment, nor as creating a contract, express or implied.  This Policy will at all times be entirely unfunded and no employee will have any interest in any particular asset of the Company by reason of any right to receive benefits under this Policy and any such employee will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any rights under this Policy.  This Policy will be governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut, except to the extent such laws are preempted by Federal law, including ERISA.  

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 7.
			

			
	
			
			Tax Provisions:

			
	
			
				 7.1
			All benefits provided under this Policy will be subject to any required Federal, state and local tax withholding and deductions.  This Policy and any severance benefits payable under it are intended to be exempt from or, if not exempt, to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, where applicable, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with that intention.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Policy to the contrary, to the extent that a payment or benefit provided hereunder is subject to Section 409A and payable on account of an employee’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A and the related regulations), such payment will be delayed for a 
		

		 

		

			B-4

		

		

			 

		

 

			period of six months after the employee’s separation date (or if earlier within thirty (30) days of the employee’s date of death following the date of such separation) if the employee is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A and the related regulations) of the Company, as determined in accordance with the regulations issued under Section 409A and the procedures established by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision will not apply to (i) all payments on separation from service that satisfy the short-term deferral rule of Treas. Reg. §1.409A1(b)(4), (ii) to the portion of the payments on separation from service that satisfy the requirements for separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), and (iii) to any payments that are otherwise exempt from the six month delay requirement of the Treasury Regulations under Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a termination of employment will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of a payment of amounts or benefits under the Policy upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of this Policy, references to a “resignation,” “termination,” “termination of employment,” or like terms will mean a separation from service.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Policy will be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of the Section 409A.  

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 8.
			

			
	
			
			Administration:

			
	
			
				 8.1
			The Administrator will be empowered to construe and interpret the provisions of the Policy and to perform and exercise all of the duties and powers granted to it under the terms of the Policy, including the determination of benefits payable hereunder.  The Administrator may adopt such rules and regulations for the administration of the Policy as are consistent with the terms hereof.  All interpretations and decisions made (both as to law and fact) and other action taken by the Administrator with respect to the Policy will be conclusive and binding upon all parties having or claiming to have an interest under the Policy.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrator will have sole discretion and authority to decide any factual or interpretative issues that may arise in connection with its administration of the Policy (including without limitation any determination as to claims for benefits hereunder), and the Administrator’s exercise of such authority shall be conclusive and binding on all affected parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of ERISA, the Administrator will be the “named fiduciary” of the Policy. 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 9.
			

			
	
			
			Claims and Review:

			
	
			
				 9.1
			All inquiries and claims respecting the Policy must be made in writing and directed to the Administrator, or the Administrator’s designee. 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 a.
			

			
	
			
			In the case of a claim respecting a benefit, a written determination allowing or denying the claim shall be furnished to the claimant within forty-five (45) days following receipt of the claim.  A denial or partial denial of a claim shall be dated (the “Determination Date”) and signed by WWE and shall clearly set forth the following information: 

		 

		

			B-5

		

		

			 

		

 

			
	
			
				 (i)
			the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			a specific reference to pertinent Policy provisions on which the denial is based; 

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and 

			
	
			
				 (iv)
			an explanation of the claim review procedure.

		
			If no written determination is furnished to the claimant within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the claim, then the claim shall be deemed denied and the forty-fifth (45th) day after such receipt shall be the Determination Date. 
		

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 b.
			

			
	
			
			A claimant may obtain review of an adverse determination by filing a written notice of appeal with the Administrator within sixty (60) days after the Determination Date.  The Administrator shall then appoint one or more persons who shall conduct a full and fair review.  As part of such review, the claimant shall have the right: 

			
	
			
				 (i)
			to be represented by a spokesman;

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			to present a written statement of facts and of the claimant’s interpretation of any pertinent document, statute or regulation; and 

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			to receive a written decision clearly setting forth findings of fact and the specific reasons for the decision written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and containing specific reference to pertinent Policy provisions on which the decision is based. 

			
	
			
				 9.2
			A decision shall be rendered no more than thirty (30) days after the request for review, except that such period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days if the person or persons reviewing the claim determine that special circumstances, including the advisability of a hearing, require such extension.  The Administrator may appoint any person or persons, whether or not connected with the Company, to review a claim.  All applicable governmental regulations regarding claims and review shall be observed by the Company in connection with its administration of this Policy.

				 10.
			

			
	
			
			Statement of ERISA Rights

			
	
			
				 10.1
			Employees are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA.  ERISA provides that all employees eligible to participate under the Policy shall be entitled to: 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 1.
			

			
	
			
			Examine, without charge, at the Company’s corporate office, all documents relating to this Policy, including this document.

		 

		

			B-6

		

		

			 

		

 

			
	
			
				 2.
			

			
	
			
			Obtain copies of these documents and other Policy information upon written request to the Company.  The Company may make a reasonable charge for the copies.

			
	
			
				 10.2
			In addition to creating rights for eligible employees, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of this Policy.  The people who operate the Policy, called “fiduciaries,” have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of eligible employees. 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 10.3
			Neither the Company nor any other person may discriminate against an employee in any way to prevent him or her from obtaining benefits or exercising his or her rights under ERISA. 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 10.4
			If a claim for benefits is denied in whole or in part, an eligible employee must receive a written explanation of the reason for the denial.  The employee has the right to have the Company review and reconsider the employee’s claim. 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 10.5
			Under ERISA, there are steps an eligible employee can take to enforce the above rights.  For instance, if an eligible employee requests materials from the Company and does not receive them within 30 days, the employee may file suit in a Federal Court.  In such a case, the Court may require the Company to provide the materials and pay up to $110 a day until they are received, unless they were not sent because of reasons beyond the Company’s control.  If an eligible employee has a claim for benefits which is denied or not processed, in whole or in part, the employee may file suit in a State or Federal Court.  If it should happen that the Policy’s fiduciaries misuse the Policy’s assets (if any), or an employee is discriminated against for asserting his or her rights, the employee may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or may file suit in a Federal Court.  The Court will decide who should pay the court costs and legal fees.  If the employee is successful, the Court may order the person who was sued to pay these costs and fees.  If the employee loses, the Court may order the employee to pay these costs and fees if, for example, it finds the employee did not have sufficient grounds for a claim. 

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 10.6
			If an employee has any questions about this Statement or about his or her rights under ERISA, the employee should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in the telephone directory or at 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210.  An employee may also obtain certain publications about his or her rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

		EXHIBIT C
		

		
			NON-DISCLOSURE, NON-COMPETITION and
NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”)
		

		
			In further consideration of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.’s (“WWE” or the “Company”) employment and continuing employment of Frank A. Riddick (“Employee”), and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Employee, Employee further acknowledges and agrees as follows:
		

		
			Access to Confidential Information: Employee understands and acknowledges that, in his position of EVP / Chief Financial Officer of WWE, and/or in any future position, the Company will furnish, disclose, or make available to him Confidential Information (as defined below) related to the business of the Company, which includes unique and specialized information. Employee further acknowledges that such Confidential Information has been developed and will continue to be developed by the Company through the expenditure by the Company of substantial time, effort and money and that all such Confidential Information could be used by Employee to compete with the Company. Employee also acknowledges that if he becomes employed or affiliated with any competitor of WWE and acts or intends to act in violation of his obligations in this Agreement, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that it is inevitable that he would disclose the Confidential Information to such competitor and would use such Confidential Information, knowingly or unknowingly, on behalf of such competitor. Further, while Employee is employed by the Company, he will be introduced to individuals and entities with important relationships to the Company. Employee acknowledges that any and all “goodwill” created through such introductions belongs exclusively to WWE, including, without limitation, any goodwill created as a result of direct or indirect contacts or relationships between Employee and any contractors, vendors, suppliers or any other business relationships of WWE.
		

		
			Definition of Confidential Information: For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, without limitation, WWE’s client/vendor/talent lists, its trade secrets, story lines, plot plans, scripts, any confidential, private, personal or privileged information about (or provided by) any of WWE’s officers, directors, employees, contractors, principals, agents, representatives, or assigns (“WWE Parties”), WWE talent or independent contractors, WWE clients or prospective or former clients, information concerning any of WWE’s or the WWE Parties’ business or financial affairs, including its/their books and records, commitments, procedures, plans and prospects, products developed by WWE or current or prospective transactions or business of WWE, marketing plans or strategies, and any “inside information.”
		

		
			Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information: Employee acknowledges and agrees that he shall not, during his employment (except with pre-authorized Company executives on a strict “need to know basis”), or at any time after his termination from employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, directly or indirectly, disclose, divulge, or discuss with any individual, entity, company, association, or any other third party, the Confidential Information, or make use of Confidential Information in any manner inconsistent with the best interests of the Company while employed, or in any manner whatsoever after the termination of his employment. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, Employee may disclose Confidential Information: (a) as compelled by law, judicial process, or any governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, in which event 
		

		 

		

			C-1

		

		

			 

		

 

		Employee shall provide the Company within one (1) business day a copy of such request and shall not, unless prohibited by law, disclose or provide any Confidential Information prior to providing such notice to the Company, and shall thereafter cooperate with the Company in complying therewith; (b) where the information is publicly available, unless it has become publicly available by Employee in breach of this Agreement; and (c) where necessary in the ordinary course of business internally within the Company or otherwise as authorized by the Company in advance of such disclosure.
		

		
			Return of Confidential Information: Employee shall not retain copies of any Confidential Information or documents containing Confidential Information without consent of the Company at any time. Further, upon termination of his employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, Employee shall return all Confidential Information including, without limitation, products, materials, memoranda, notes, records, reports, or other documents or photocopies of the same. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Employee from retaining copies of documents reflecting his personal data, including copies of this Agreement, his employment agreement to which this Agreement is attached (“Employment Agreement”), or other agreements between him and the Company, his compensation, and/or benefits conferred during his employment.
		

		
			Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation: Employee recognizes and acknowledges the competitive and proprietary aspects of the business of the Company, as well as the significant expenditure of time and money in creating, developing and marketing its intellectual property and/or products. Employee further recognizes and acknowledges the significant expenditure of time and money in developing and securing the Company’s business relationships and good will in the markets in which the Company participates.
		

		
			Employee therefore agrees that, during his employment and for twenty-four (24) months following the termination of his employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, he shall not, for any reason whatsoever in the absence of the Company’s prior written consent:
		

		
			(A)Whether individually, as a director, manager, member, stockholder, partner, owner, employee, consultant or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, other than on behalf of the Company or a subsidiary, organize, establish, own, operate, manage, control, engage in, participate in, invest in, permit his name to be used by, act as a consultant or advisor to, render services for (alone or in association with any person, firm, corporation or business organization), or otherwise assist any person or entity that engages in or owns, invests in, operates, manages or controls any venture or enterprise which engages or proposes to engage in any business conducted by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “business conducted by the Company” shall be defined as an organization, entity, or individual engaged in the entertainment industry, whether related to professional wrestling, sports entertainment or otherwise;
		

		
			(B)Either individually or on behalf of or through any third party, directly or indirectly, solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, any business or relationships, or prospective business or prospective relationships of the Company, for the purpose of competing in any business which is competitive with the business conducted by the Company as defined above. “Prospective business” 
		
		
 

		

			C-2

		

		

			 

		

 

		or a “prospective relationship” shall mean a person, firm or entity for which the Company has developed, or to whom/which the Company has made, any presentation or “pitch” (or similar offering of services) during the twelve (12) months prior to Employee’s effective termination date (and Employee shall be obligated to request from the Company the list of such prospective customers upon his termination for any reason); or

		
		
			(C)Either individually or on behalf of or through any third party, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, entice or persuade or attempt to solicit, entice or persuade any employees or contractors (including WWE talent) of or consultants to the Company to leave the employ or service of the Company for any reason; or (ii) employ, cause to be employed, or solicit the employment of, any employee or contractor (including WWE talent) of or consultant to the Company while any such person is employed by or providing services to the Company; and/or
		

		
			(D)Either individually or on behalf of or through any third party, directly or indirectly, interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, the relations between the Company and any vendor or supplier to the Company. Nothing set forth in this subsection (D) is intended to nor shall it prevent or prohibit Employee or his future employer from doing business with any vendor or supplier to the Company, on the condition that such activity does not violate any other term of this Agreement or the Employment Agreement.
		

		
			Reasonableness of Restrictions: Employee further recognizes and acknowledges that: (a) the prohibitions of this Agreement are sufficiently narrow and reasonable in relation to the skills which represent his principal saleable asset both to the Company and to prospective employers; and; (b) the time period of the provisions of this Agreement is reasonable, legitimate and fair to Employee in light of the Company’s need to protect its business and good will, to market its services and intellectual property in the applicable markets, and in order to have a sufficient customer base to make the Company’s business profitable, and taking into account the limited restrictions herein compared to the types of employment for which Employee is qualified to earn a livelihood.
		

		
			Survival of Acknowledgements and Agreements: Employee understands and agrees that the acknowledgements and agreements set forth in this Agreement will survive the termination of his employment with the Company for any reason or for no reason, whether voluntary or involuntary.
		

		
			Disclosure to Future Employers: Employee agrees that he will provide, and the Company, in its discretion, may similarly provide, a copy of this Agreement to any business or enterprise which Employee may, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, finance, join, control or in which Employee may participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control, or with which Employee may be connected as an officer, director, employee, partner, principal, agent, representative, contractor, consultant or otherwise.
		

		
			Miscellaneous Representations by Employee: Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company that he understands this Agreement, that he has entered into this Agreement 
		

		 

		

			C-3

		

		

			 

		

 

		voluntarily and that his employment with the Company and the terms of this Agreement will not conflict with any legal duty owed by him to any other party, or with any agreement to which he is a party or by which he is bound, including, without limitation, any non-disclosure, non-competition or non-solicitation provision contained in any such agreement. Employee hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Company and its officers, directors, security holders, partners, members, employees, contractors, agents and representatives against loss, damage, liability or expense arising from any claim based upon circumstances alleged to be inconsistent with such representation and warranty.
		

		
			Assignment: The Company may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any person or entity that succeeds to all or substantially all of the Company’s business or that aspect of the Company’s business in which Employee is principally involved or to any Company affiliate, on the condition that such successor or purchaser assumes any and all of Company’s obligations hereunder. Employee may not assign any of his rights and/or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company and any such attempted assignment by him without the prior written consent of the Company will be void.
		

		
			Benefit: All statements, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement will be binding on the parties hereto and will inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each party hereto. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to create any rights or obligations except between the Company and Employee, except for Employee’s obligations to the Company as set forth herein and in the Employment Agreement, and no person or entity can be regarded as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
		

		
			Governing Law: This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.
		

		
			Severability: The parties intend this Agreement to be enforced as written. However: (a) if any portion or provision of this Agreement is to any extent declared illegal or unenforceable by a duly authorized court having jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (b) if any provision, or part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision, or the scope, or other aspect of such provision, the court making such determination will have the power to reduce the duration, scope, or other aspect of such provision, and/or to delete specific words and phrases (“blue-penciling”), and in its reduced or blue-penciled form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.
		

		
			Injunctive Relief: Employee hereby expressly acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of any of the terms and/or conditions set forth in this Agreement will result in substantial, continuing and irreparable injury to the Company. Therefore, in addition to any other remedy or damages that may be available to the Company pursuant to applicable law and/or in the Employment Agreement, the Company will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief by a court of appropriate jurisdiction in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the terms of this Agreement, as well as for reimbursement for its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred. The

		period during which the covenants contained in this Agreement will apply will be extended by any periods during which Employee has been found by a court to have been in violation of such covenants.
		

		
			Amendment: The provisions of this Agreement may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of Employee and a duly authorized representative of the Company.
		

		
			No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies: No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, will operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of the party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, will preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto will not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Agreement will entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.
		

		
			Employment at Will: Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, or be construed to, alter Employee’s status as an employee at will with the Company as set forth in the accompanying Employment Agreement. Nothing further herein contained shall be construed as inconsistent with any other terms of such Employment Agreement; however, in the event it is determined that there is any such inconsistency with other terms of the Employment Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail with respect to that provision.
		

		
			Opportunity to Review: Employee hereby acknowledges that he has had adequate opportunity to review these terms and conditions and to reflect upon and consider the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that he has had the opportunity to consult with counsel of his own choosing regarding such terms. Employee further acknowledges that he fully understands the terms of and has voluntarily executed this Agreement.
