WHEREAS, the Grantee, whose name is set forth on the “Dashboard” tab on the Morgan Stanley StockPlan Connect portal, a secure third-party vendor website used by the Company (to be referred to herein as the “Grant Summary”), is a non-employee Director of the Company;

Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement (including on Exhibit A hereto), terms used in this Agreement with initial capital letters will have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.  Certain terms used herein with initial capital letters will have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

	2.	Issuance of RSUs.  The RSUs covered by this Agreement shall be issued to the Grantee effective upon the Date of Grant.  Each RSU constitutes the right of the Grantee to receive one Common Share (and dividend equivalents with respect thereto) (or to have one Common Share (and dividend equivalents with respect thereto) credited to Grantee’s account under the Deferred Compensation Plan, if elected) upon the Grantee’s Distribution Date.  The Grantee shall not have the rights of a shareholder with respect to such RSUs, except as provided in Section 9, provided that such RSUs, together with any additional RSUs that the Grantee may become entitled to receive by virtue of a share dividend, a merger or a reorganization in which Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. is the surviving corporation or any other change in the capital structure of Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc., shall be subject to the restrictions hereinafter set forth.

​

		provided, however, that the Grantee’s rights with respect to such RSUs may be transferred by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution.  Any purported transfer or encumbrance in violation of the provisions of this Section 3 shall be void, and the other party to any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or interest in such RSUs or the underlying Common Shares or dividend equivalents.  The Company in its sole discretion, when and as permitted by the Plan, may waive the restrictions on transferability with respect to all or a portion of the RSUs subject to this Agreement.

	4.	Vesting of RSUs.  Subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 5 and 6 hereof, all of the RSUs covered by this Agreement shall vest immediately after one full year from the Date of Grant if the Grantee shall have served continuously as a Director for that entire period.  

	5.	Effect of Change in Control.  In the event a Change in Control occurs after the Date of Grant but before the RSUs covered by the Agreement vest pursuant to Section 4 or 6 of this Agreement, the vesting provisions set forth in this Section 5 shall apply in addition to those set forth in Sections 4 and 6 of this Agreement: 

		(a)	If (i) a Replacement Award is not provided to the Grantee to replace, adjust or continue the award of RSUs covered by this Agreement (the “Replaced Award”), and (ii) the Grantee serves as an Eligible Director of the Company throughout the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the date of the Change in Control, the RSUs covered by this Agreement will vest in full immediately prior to the Change in Control.

		(c)	If a Replacement Award is provided to the Grantee to replace, adjust or continue the award of RSUs covered by this Agreement, and if, upon or after receiving the Replacement Award, the Grantee experiences a termination of service as an Eligible Director of the Company by reason of the Company terminating Grantee’s service as a Director of the Company other than for Cause after the Change in Control and during the remaining vesting period for the Replacement Award, the Replacement Award shall immediately vest in full upon such termination.

	6.	Effect of Death, Disability, or Retirement; Forfeiture.

		(a)	If the Grantee’s service as a Director of the Company should terminate because of the Grantee's death or if the Grantee should incur a Disability prior to the vesting otherwise provided for in Section 4, 5, or 6 hereof, the RSUs subject to this Agreement shall immediately vest in full.

		(b)	If the Grantee’s service as a Director of the Company should terminate because of the Grantee’s Retirement, prior to the vesting otherwise provided for in Section 4, 5, or 6 hereof, a pro rata portion of the RSUs subject to this Agreement shall immediately vest.  The pro rata portion that shall vest shall be determined by multiplying the total number of RSUs subject to this Agreement by the number of days the Grantee has served as a Director of the Company from the Date of Grant

​

			through the date of Retirement, divided by the number of days from the Date of Grant to the date the RSUs would have vested under Section 4 hereof if the Grantee had remained a Director of the Company through such date (rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share).  Any RSUs that remain unvested in connection with Grantee’s Retirement will be forfeited. 

		(c)	Upon the termination of the Grantee’s service as a Director of the Company, all RSUs that have not become vested prior to or at the time of such termination shall be forfeited.

The Grantee may elect to defer receipt of the Common Shares underlying the RSUs subject to this Agreement beyond the Distribution Date (and to defer the dividend equivalents with respect thereto), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

	9.	Dividend Equivalents and Other Rights.

		(a)	Except as provided in this Section, the Grantee shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the RSUs covered by this Agreement; provided, however, that any additional Common Shares, share rights or other securities that the Grantee may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, separation or reorganization or any other change in the capital structure of the Company shall be subject to the same restrictions as the RSUs covered by this Agreement.

		(b)	The Grantee shall have the right to receive dividend equivalents with respect to the Common Shares underlying the RSUs.  Such dividend equivalents shall be paid to the Grantee in the form of cash (or credited to the Grantee’s account under the Deferred Compensation Plan, if elected) on the date of payment of such dividends by the Company. 

		(c)	The Grantee will not be entitled to vote the Common Shares underlying the RSUs until the Grantee receives such Common Shares on or after the Distribution Date. 

		(d)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9, to the extent that any of the RSUs become vested pursuant to this Agreement and the Grantee elects pursuant to Section 8 to defer receipt of the Common Shares underlying the RSUs  beyond the Distribution Date (and dividend equivalents with respect thereto) in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, then the right to receive dividend equivalents thereafter will be governed by the Deferred Compensation Plan from and after the Distribution Date. 

	10.	No Right to Continued Service.  The Plan and this Agreement will not confer upon the Grantee any right with respect to the continuance of service as a Director of the Company.

	11.	Agreement Subject to the Plan.  The RSUs evidenced by this Agreement and all of the terms and conditions hereof are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will govern.

	12.	Amendments.  Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that subject to Section 10 of the Plan and Section 15 of this Agreement, no such amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the Grantee with respect to the RSUs without the Grantee’s consent.

	13.	Severability.  In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated will be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof will continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

All legal actions or proceedings relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division or the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, located in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. 

	15.	RSUs Subject to the Company’s Recovery of Funds Policy.

Any provision that is required by Section 409A of the Code to appear in the Agreement that is not expressly set forth herein shall be deemed to be set forth herein, and the Agreement shall be administered in all respects as if such provision was expressly set forth herein.  Any reference in the Agreement to Section 409A of the Code or a Treasury Regulation section shall be deemed to include any similar or successor provisions thereto.

	4.	“Distribution Date” means the date on which the Common Shares represented by vested RSUs shall be distributed to the Grantee as specified in Section 7 (or would have been so distributed absent an election under the Deferred Compensation Plan).

	5.	“Incumbent Directors”: For purposes of applying the definition of Change in Control in the Plan, “Incumbent Directors” means the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, are Directors and any individual becoming a Director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, or appointment, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the then Incumbent Directors (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination); provided, however, that an individual will not be an Incumbent Director if such individual’s election or appointment to

​

		the Board occurs as a result of (including the settlement of) an actual or threatened election contest (as described in Rule 14a-12(c) of the Exchange Act) with respect to the election or removal of Directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board.

A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the two preceding sentences are satisfied.  The determination of whether the conditions of this Exhibit A, Section 6 are satisfied will be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

The Remaining 2022 Revolving Commitments shall  become effective on the date when each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied (or waived by  the 2022 Revolving Lenders) on or prior to the Outside Date (such conditions, collectively, the “Conditions  Subsequent”):  (i) the Third Amendment Effective Date shall have occurred in accordance  with the terms of this Third Amendment;   (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a Borrowing Request  (substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex III) as required by Section 2.03 of the Amended  Credit Agreement for an aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000 of 2022 Revolving Loans;   (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received all fees required to be paid  by the Lead Borrower on or prior to such time pursuant to the Fee Letter;   (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received all expenses required to be  paid by the Lead Borrower on or prior to such time pursuant to Section 4 of this Third Amendment  to the extent an invoice has been delivered to the Lead Borrower at least three Business Days prior  to the funding of such 2022 Revolving Loans (or such shorter period as may be reasonably agreed  by the Lead Borrower);   (v) at the election of the Lead Borrower in its sole discretion, either (i) the  conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 of the Amended Credit Agreement shall be satisfied  on the date on which the 2022 Revolving Loans under the Remaining 2022 Revolving  Commitments have been extended to the Lead Borrower or (ii) the Specified Conditions Precedent  (as defined below) have been satisfied; and  (vi) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Lead Borrower a  solvency certificate from the chief financial officer (or other officer with reasonably equivalent  responsibilities) of the Lead Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit M to the Credit  Agreement (to the extent the proceeds of the 2022 Revolving Loans funded on such date will be  used to fund the consideration of the Acquisition, as so modified so that such certification shall be  made on the Acquisition Funding Date immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the  Transactions (as defined below)).  Upon the satisfaction (or waiver by the 2022 Revolving Lenders) on or prior to the Outside Date  of the Conditions Subsequent, the 2022 Revolving Lenders, without the satisfaction of any other conditions,  shall extend the 2022 Revolving Loans under the Remaining 2022 Revolving Commitments to the Lead  Borrower in accordance with the Borrowing Request provided in Section 3(b)(ii).  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Lead Borrower elects to satisfy the Specified Conditions  Precedent in order to satisfy the condition in Section 3(b)(v), the 2022 Revolving Lenders agree that the  obligations of the 2022 Revolving Lenders to provide the Remaining 2022 Revolving Commitments, and  to extend the 2022 Revolving Loans thereunder, shall not be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set  

 

6  27509012.26  forth in Section 4.02 of the Amended Credit Agreement nor shall the making of such 2022 Revolving Loans  be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Lead Borrower as to the matters specified in  paragraphs (b) and (c) thereof.  In accordance with Sections 2.22(a)(xi) and (xii) of the Amended Credit  Agreement, the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to elect to treat the Acquisition as a “Limited Condition  Acquisition” under the Amended Credit Agreement if the Lead Borrower elects to satisfy the Specified  Conditions Precedent.  As used herein, the “Specified Conditions Precedent” means the following conditions precedent:  (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Lead Borrower a certificate  executed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower, certifying that substantially concurrently with the  funding of such 2022 Revolving Loans, the Acquisition shall have been consummated (the funding of such  2022 Revolving Loans and the consummation of the Acquisition, collectively, the “Transactions”);  (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Lead Borrower a certificate  executed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower, certifying as of the date on which such 2022  Revolving Loans are funded, both immediately prior to and after giving effect to the Transactions, no Event  of Default under Sections 7.01(a), (f) or (g) of the Amended Credit Agreement shall have occurred or be  continuing;  (c) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Lead Borrower a certificate  executed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower, certifying that, on the Closing Date (as defined  in the Purchase Agreement), the Company has delivered to the Lead Borrower (or an Affiliate thereof) a  certificate certifying that (x) the representations set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.6(a) and 3.7 of the  Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (other than Sections 3.6(a) and 3.7 of the  Purchase Agreement, which shall be true and correct subject only to de minimis exceptions) as of the  Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) as though such representations and warranties were  made as of the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (or on the date when made in the case  of any representation or warranty which specifically relates to an earlier date) and (y) the representations  and warranties made in Section 3.5 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct (without giving effect  to any qualifications or limitations as to “materiality” or “material adverse effect” or similar qualifiers  contained therein), in each case, as of the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) as though  such representations and warranties were made as of the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase  Agreement) (or on the date when made in the case of any representation or warranty which specifically  relates to an earlier date) except to the extent the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true  and correct as of such dates would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a  Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); and  (d) the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Lead Borrower a certificate  executed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower, certifying that on the date of funding such 2022  Revolving Loans (the “Acquisition Funding Date”), the following representations and warranties set forth  in the Amended Credit Agreement of the Lead Borrower and, solely to the extent applicable to Holdings in  the lead-in sentence to Article 3 of the Amended Credit Agreement, Holdings, shall be true and correct in  all material respects on and as of the Acquisition Funding Date (except that if any such representation or  warranty contains any materiality qualifier, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all  respects): Sections 3.01(a), 3.08, 3.16(c) (provided that references in Section 3.16(c) (I) to the “Loans” shall  be deemed to be a reference to the use of proceeds of the 2022 Revolving Loans funded on the Acquisition  Funding Date hereunder and (II) to “Letters of Credit” shall be disregarded for purposes of this  representation), 3.17(a)(ii) and 3.17(c) (provided that, references in Sections 3.17(a)(ii) and 3.17(c) (I) to  “Loans” shall be deemed to be a reference to the use of proceeds of the 2022 Revolving Loans funded on  the Acquisition Funding Date hereunder and (II) to “Letters of Credit” shall be disregarded for purposes of  

 

7  27509012.26  this representation) and 3.17(b)(ii) (in the case of Section 3.17(b)(ii), modified so the representation is  limited to the use of proceeds of the 2022 Revolving Loans funded on the Acquisition Funding Date  hereunder not violating the USA PATRIOT Act).  SECTION 4. Costs and Expenses.  The Lead Borrower hereby reconfirms its obligations  pursuant to Section 9.03(a) of the Amended Credit Agreement to pay and reimburse the Administrative  Agent, the 2022 Lead Arranger and each 2022 Revolving Lender and their respective Affiliates for all  reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (but limited, in the case of legal fees and  expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one  firm of outside counsel to all such Persons taken as a whole) incurred in connection with the negotiation,  preparation, execution and delivery of this Third Amendment and all other documents and instruments  delivered in connection herewith.  SECTION 5. Loan Document.  This Third Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for  all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties.  To induce the Administrative Agent and the 2022  Revolving Lenders to enter into this Third Amendment, each Loan Party hereto hereby represents and  warrants that, immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to this Third Amendment:  (a) the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Third Amendment and, in the  case of Holdings and the Lead Borrower, the performance by it of the Amended Credit Agreement does not  (i) violate any Requirements of Law applicable to it (which violation could reasonably be expected to have  a Material Adverse Effect) or its Organizational Documents or (ii) violate or result in a default under any  of its material Contractual Obligations (which violation or default could reasonably be expected to have a  Material Adverse Effect);  (b) it has all requisite organizational power and authority to enter into this Third  Amendment and the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Third Amendment and, in the case  of Holdings and the Lead Borrower, the performance by it of the Amended Credit Agreement has been duly  authorized by all necessary organizational action by it; and  (c) it has duly executed and delivered this Third Amendment, and this Third  Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party  constitutes the legally valid and binding obligations of it, enforceable against it in accordance with their  respective terms, subject to the Legal Reservations.  SECTION 7. Post-Closing Covenant.  Without limiting any of the requirements of Section 5.12  of the Amended Credit Agreement, no later than ten (10) Business Days following the consummation of  the Acquisition (or such later date as may be reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent), the Lead  Borrower shall, and shall cause its applicable Restricted Subsidiaries to, deliver to the Administrative  Agent:   (a) a joinder to the Loan Guaranty in substantially the form attached as an exhibit  thereto, duly executed and delivered by the Company;   (b) a supplement to the Security Agreement in substantially the form attached as an  exhibit thereto, duly executed and delivered by the Company;   (c) any original certificates representing any Capital Stock issued by the Company,  accompanied by undated stock powers or transfer powers executed in blank; and   

 

8  27509012.26  (d) a UCC-1 financing statement listing the Company as debtor in appropriate form  for filing in its jurisdiction of organization.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to the  Outside Date, the obligations under this Section 7 shall automatically terminate; provided that this  sentence shall in no way alter any of the separate obligations of the Lead Borrower under Section 5.12 of  the Credit Agreement.    SECTION 8. Outside Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that  the Conditions Subsequent have not been satisfied on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after  the Outside Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) (the “Outside Date”),  the 2022 Revolving Lenders shall have no obligation to provide the Remaining 2022 Revolving  Commitments unless the 2022 Revolving Lenders shall, in their sole discretion, agree to an extension in  writing of their obligation to provide the Remaining 2022 Revolving Commitments.   SECTION 9. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.  (a) On and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit  Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit  Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Third Amendment.  (b) The Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically  amended by this Third Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in  all respects ratified and confirmed.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral  Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all  Obligations of the applicable Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case, as amended by this  Third Amendment.  (c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Third Amendment shall not,  except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or  the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of  any of the Loan Documents.  SECTION 10. Governing Law.  THIS THIRD AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,  AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK;  provided that the governing law of the Purchase Agreement shall govern in determining (i) the interpretation  of the representations described in clause (c) of the definition of “Specified Conditions Precedent”,  including the interpretation of any materiality qualifiers with respect thereto (including the interpretation  of “Material Adverse Effect” as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and (ii) whether the Acquisition has  been consummated in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (in each case, without regard  to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof, to the extent that the same are not mandatorily applicable by  statute and would require or permit the application of the law of another jurisdiction).  SECTION 11. Counterparts.  This Third Amendment may be executed in any number of  counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when  executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same  instrument.  Delivery by facsimile or electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page  to this Third Amendment shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Third  Amendment.

Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the  Auction Agent prior to the applicable Auction Response Date, the Auction Agent, in consultation with the Auction  Party, will determine the applicable price (the “Applicable Price”) for the Auction, which will be the lowest Reply  Price for which the Auction Party can complete the Auction at the Auction Amount; provided that, in the event that  the Reply Amounts are insufficient to allow the Auction Party to complete a purchase of the entire Auction Amount  (any such Auction, a “Failed Auction”), the Auction Party shall either, at its election, (i) withdraw the Auction or  (ii) complete the Auction at an Applicable Price equal to the highest Reply Price.  The Auction Party shall purchase  the relevant Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) from each Lender with a Reply Price that is equal to or  lower than the Applicable Price (“Qualifying Bids”) at the Applicable Price; provided that if the aggregate proceeds  required to purchase all Term Loans subject to Qualifying Bids would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction,  the Auction Party shall purchase such Term Loans at the Applicable Price ratably based on the principal amounts of  such Qualifying Bids (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Auction Agent in its discretion).  If a  Lender has submitted a Return Bid containing multiple bids at different Reply Prices, only the bid with the lowest  Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Price will be deemed to be the Qualifying Bid of such Lender  (e.g., a Reply Price of $100 with a discount to par of 2%, when compared to an Applicable Price of $100 with a 1%  discount to par, will not be deemed to be a Qualifying Bid, while, however, a Reply Price of $100 with a discount to  par of 2.50% would be deemed to be a Qualifying Bid).  The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within

(c) Reply Procedures.

(a) For purposes of any determination under Article 5, Article 6 (other than Section 6.15(a)  and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder) or Article 7  with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment,  Disposition, affiliate transaction or other transaction, event or circumstance, or any determination under any other  provision of this Agreement, (any of the foregoing, a “specified transaction”), in a currency other than  U.S. Dollars, (i) the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount of a specified transaction in a currency other than U.S. Dollars  shall be calculated based on the rate of exchange quoted by the Bloomberg Foreign Exchange Rates & World  Currencies Page (or any successor page thereto, or in the event such rate does not appear on any Bloomberg Page,  by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be agreed upon by the  Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower) for such foreign currency, as in effect at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on  the date of such specified transaction (which, in the case of any Restricted Payment, shall be deemed to be the date  of the declaration thereof and, in the case of the incurrence of Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be on the date first  committed); provided that if any Indebtedness is incurred (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) to refinance  or replace other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, and the relevant refinancing or  replacement would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the  relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such  U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of  such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness (and, if applicable, associated Lien granted) does not exceed an  amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, except by an  amount equal to (x) unpaid accrued interest and premiums (including tender premiums) thereon plus other  reasonable and customary fees and expenses (including upfront fees and original issue discount) incurred in  connection with such refinancing or replacement, (y) any existing commitments unutilized thereunder and  (z) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01 and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, no Default or  Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in the rate of currency exchange  occurring after the time of any specified transaction so long as such specified transaction was permitted at the time  incurred, made, acquired, committed, entered or declared as set forth in clause (i).  For purposes of Section 6.15(a)  and the calculation of compliance with any financial ratio for purposes of taking any action hereunder, on any  relevant date of determination, amounts denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars shall be translated into  U.S. Dollars at the applicable currency exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements delivered pursuant  to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period and will, with respect to any Indebtedness,  reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of any Hedge Agreement permitted  hereunder in respect of currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of  determination for the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount of such Indebtedness.  (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of  construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Lead Borrower’s consent to  appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market convention or practice relating to  such change in currency.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or  transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require  compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.15(a), any First Lien Net Leverage  Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test  and/or any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently  with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this  Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, Section 6.15(a), any  First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test, any Total  Net Leverage Ratio test and/or any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based  Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the  financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts.  Section 1.12 Rounding.  Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Lead Borrower pursuant  to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement)  shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place  more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the  nearest number (with a rounding-up for five).  Section 1.13 Available Amount Threshold.  If more than one action occurs on any given date the  permissibility of the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the amount of the Available Amount  immediately prior to the taking of such action, the permissibility of the taking of each such action shall be  determined independently.

(iv) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:  (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or  arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing  such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or  directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with  

 

  -77-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank  refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in  particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit  any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not  otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose  upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable  on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it;  (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies  of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally;  (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such  Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than the Dollar  Equivalent of $100,000;  (D) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such  Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than  U.S. Dollars or an Agreed Currency; or  (E) such Issuing Bank does not as of the issuance date of such requested  Letter of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency.  (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the  issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative  Agent, at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is  acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), a request to issue a Letter of Credit, which shall specify that it is being  issued under this Agreement, in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto.  To request an amendment, extension or  renewal of an outstanding Letter of Credit, (other than any automatic extension of a Letter of Credit permitted under  Section 2.05(c)) the Lead Borrower shall submit such a request to the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the  Administrative Agent) at least three Business Days in advance of the requested date of amendment, extension or  renewal (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), identifying the Letter of Credit to be  amended, extended or renewed, and specifying the proposed date (which shall be a Business Day) and other details  of the amendment, extension or renewal.  Requests for the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter  of Credit must be accompanied by such other information (including information as required by regulatory  authorities under applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations) as shall be necessary to issue, amend,  extend or renew such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Lead Borrower also shall  submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter  of Credit.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and  conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Lead Borrower to, or  entered into by the Lead Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and  conditions of this Agreement shall control.  No Letter of Credit, letter of credit application or other document  entered into by the Lead Borrower with the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit shall contain any  representations or warranties, covenants or events of default not set forth in this Agreement (and to the extent  inconsistent herewith shall be rendered null and void), and all representations and warranties, covenants and events  of default set forth therein shall contain standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions for materiality or  otherwise consistent with those set forth in this Agreement (and, to the extent inconsistent herewith, shall be deemed  to automatically incorporate the applicable standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions set forth herein  without action by any Person).  A Dollar Letter of Credit may be issued, amended, extended or renewed only if (and  on the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of each Letter of Credit the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to  represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, extension, or renewal, (i) the Dollar LC  Exposure does not exceed the Dollar Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal  amount of all Dollar Revolving Loans made under the Dollar Revolving Facility plus (y) the aggregate amount of all  Dollar LC Obligations under the Dollar Revolving Facility would not exceed the Total Dollar Revolving Credit  Commitment and (iii) the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Dollar Revolving Loans of  any Dollar Revolving Lender made under the Dollar Revolving Facility plus (y) the Dollar Revolving Applicable  

 

  -78-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Percentage of the Dollar LC Obligations of any Dollar Revolving Lender under the Dollar Revolving Facility would  not exceed such Dollar Revolving Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments.  A Multicurrency Letter of  Credit may be issued, amended, extended or renewed only if (and on the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal  of each Letter of Credit the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such  issuance, amendment, extension, or renewal, (i) the Multicurrency LC Exposure does not exceed the Multicurrency  Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) the sum of (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of  all Multicurrency Revolving Loans plus (y) the aggregate amount of all Multicurrency LC Obligations would not  exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment and (iii) the sum of (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the  aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Multicurrency Revolving Loans of any Multicurrency Revolving  Lender made under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility plus (y) the Multicurrency Revolving Applicable  Percentage of the Multicurrency LC Obligations of any Multicurrency Revolving Lender under the Multicurrency  Revolving Facility would not exceed such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit  Commitments.  Promptly after the delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an  advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank will also deliver to the  Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, there shall be no extensions or renewals of the Existing  Letters of Credit, which shall expire in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect on the Closing Date.  (c) Expiration Date.    (i) No Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier of (A) the date that is one  year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) the date that is five Business  Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided that any Standby Letter of Credit may  provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one  year in duration (none of which, in any event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in the  preceding clause (B) unless 100% of the then-available face amount thereof is Cash collateralized  or backstopped on or before the date that such Letter of Credit is extended beyond the date  referred to in clause (B) above pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant  Issuing Bank.   (ii) No Commercial Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier to occur of  (A) 180 days after the issuance thereof (or in each case such longer period as may be agreed by the  relevant Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower) and (B) the date that is five Business Days  prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  (d) Participations.  (i) By the issuance of a Dollar Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Dollar Letter of  Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable  Issuing Bank or the Dollar Revolving Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each  Dollar Revolving Lender, and each Dollar Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing  Bank, a participation in such Dollar Letter of Credit equal to such Dollar Revolving Lender’s  Dollar Revolving Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under  such Dollar Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Dollar  Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative  Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Dollar Revolving Lender’s Dollar  Revolving Applicable Percentage of each Dollar LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank  and not reimbursed by the Lead Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this  Section 2.05, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower  for any reason.  Each Dollar Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to  acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Dollar Letters of Credit is absolute  and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any  amendment, renewal or extension of any Dollar Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance  of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Dollar Revolving Credit  

 

  -79-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,  withholding or reduction whatsoever.  (ii) By the issuance of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a  Multicurrency Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on  the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, the applicable  Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Multicurrency Revolving Lender, and each Multicurrency  Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Multicurrency  Letter of Credit equal to such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving  Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount available to be drawn  under such Multicurrency Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing,  each Multicurrency Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the  Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Multicurrency  Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Applicable Percentage of each Multicurrency LC  Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the  date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, or of any reimbursement payment  required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason.  Each Multicurrency Revolving  Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this  paragraph in respect of Multicurrency Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not  be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of  any Multicurrency Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of  Default or reduction or termination of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments, and that  each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction  whatsoever.  (e) Reimbursement.  (i) (A) If the applicable Issuing Bank makes any Dollar LC Disbursement in respect  of a Dollar Letter of Credit, the Lead Borrower shall reimburse such Dollar LC Disbursement by  paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Dollar LC Disbursement not later  than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Lead Borrower  receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section 2.05 of such Dollar LC Disbursement (or, in  the case of Dollar Letters of Credit, if such notice is received less than two hours prior to the  deadline for requesting ABR Revolving Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.03, on the second  Business Day immediately following the date on which the Lead Borrower receives such notice);  provided that the Lead Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein,  request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment, in the case of Dollar Letters of Credit,  be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so  financed, the Lead Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced  by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing.  If the Lead Borrower fails to make such payment or  otherwise reimburse such Dollar LC Disbursement when due, the Administrative Agent shall  notify each Dollar Revolving Lender of the applicable Dollar LC Disbursement, the payment then  due from the Lead Borrower in respect thereof and such Dollar Revolving Lender’s Dollar  Revolving Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Dollar  Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Dollar Revolving Applicable  Percentage of the payment then due from the Lead Borrower, in the same manner as provided in  Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Dollar Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall  apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the applicable Revolving Lenders), and the  Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received  by it from the Dollar Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent  of any payment from the Lead Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent  shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Dollar Revolving  Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to  such Dollar Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  

 

  -80-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   (B) If the applicable Issuing Bank makes any Multicurrency LC  Disbursement in respect of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit, the Lead Borrower shall reimburse  such Multicurrency LC Disbursement and in the same currency issued unless otherwise agreed by  the relevant Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower by paying to the Administrative Agent an  amount equal to such Multicurrency LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business  Day immediately following the date on which the Lead Borrower receives notice under  paragraph (g) of this Section 2.05 of such Multicurrency LC Disbursement (or, in the case of  Multicurrency Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, if such notice is  received less than two hours prior to the deadline for requesting ABR Revolving Borrowings  pursuant to Section 2.03, on the second Business Day immediately following the date on which  the Lead Borrower receives such notice); provided that the Lead Borrower may, subject to the  conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such  payment, in the case of Multicurrency Letters of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian  Dollars, be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the  extent so financed, the Lead Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and  replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing.  If the Lead Borrower fails to make such  payment or otherwise reimburse such Multicurrency LC Disbursement when due, the  Administrative Agent shall notify each Multicurrency Revolving Lender of the applicable  Multicurrency LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Lead Borrower in respect thereof  and such Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Applicable Percentage of (x) in the case of  a Letter of Credit denominated in U.S. Dollars, such amount in U.S. Dollars, (y) in the case of a  Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling, such amount in  Canadian Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling, respectively.  Promptly following receipt of such  notice, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its  Multicurrency Revolving Applicable Percentage of such payment then due from the Lead  Borrower (including, if the circumstances in clause (2) apply, the applicable additional amount), in  the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Multicurrency  Revolving Lender in the applicable currency (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to  the payment obligations of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent  shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the  Multicurrency Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of  any payment from the Lead Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall  distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Multicurrency  Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing  Bank, then to such Multicurrency Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may  appear.  (ii) If any Initial Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative  Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such  Initial Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(e) by the time  specified therein, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Initial Revolving  Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon  for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is  immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the  Overnight Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in  accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  A certificate of the applicable  Issuing Bank submitted to any Initial Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with  respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  (f) Obligations Absolute.  The Lead Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements  as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be  performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and  irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or  provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged,  fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment  

 

  -81-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does  not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or  not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or  equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Lead Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Neither the  Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any  liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any  payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the  preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft,  notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a  drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond  the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank  from liability to the Lead Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages,  claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Lead Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)  suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether  drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto  expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of applicable  Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to  have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality  thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial  compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept  and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or  information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not  in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.  (g) Disbursement Procedures.  The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its  receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Dollar Letter of Credit  or a Multicurrency Letter of Credit.  Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lead  Borrower in writing or by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment and whether such  Issuing Bank has made or will make a Dollar LC Disbursement or Multicurrency LC Disbursement, as applicable,  thereunder; provided that no failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall relieve the Lead Borrower of its  obligation to reimburse (x) such Issuing Bank and the Dollar Revolving Lenders with respect to any such Dollar LC  Disbursement or (y) such Issuing Bank and the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders with respect to any such  Multicurrency LC Disbursement, as applicable.  (h) Interim Interest.  (i) If any Issuing Bank makes any Dollar LC Disbursement, then, unless the Lead  Borrower reimburses such Dollar LC Disbursement in full on the date such Dollar LC  Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and  including the date such Dollar LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Lead  Borrower reimburses such Dollar LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum that would apply to  such amount if such amount were a Revolving ABR Loan; provided that if the Lead Borrower  fails to reimburse such Dollar LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this  Section 2.05, then Section 2.13(f) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be  for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of  payment by any Dollar Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to  reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Dollar Revolving Lender to the  extent of such payment and shall be payable on the date on which the Lead Borrower is required to  reimburse the applicable Dollar LC Disbursement in full (and, thereafter, on demand).  (ii) If any Issuing Bank makes any Multicurrency LC Disbursement, then, unless the  Lead Borrower reimburses such Multicurrency LC Disbursement in full on the date such  Multicurrency LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each  day from and including the date such Multicurrency LC Disbursement is made to but excluding  the date that the Lead Borrower reimburses such Multicurrency LC Disbursement, at the rate per  

 

  -82-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were a Revolving ABR Loan; provided  that if the Lead Borrower fails to reimburse such Multicurrency LC Disbursement when due  pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, then Section 2.13(f) shall apply.  Interest accrued  pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that  interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Multicurrency Revolving Lender pursuant  to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of  such Multicurrency Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable on the  date on which the Lead Borrower is required to reimburse the applicable Multicurrency LC  Disbursement in full (and, thereafter, on demand),  (i) Replacement or Resignation of an Issuing Bank or Addition of New Issuing Banks.  (i) Any Issuing Bank may be replaced with the consent of the Administrative Agent  (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time by written agreement among the Lead  Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Administrative Agent  shall notify the Initial Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the time  any such replacement becomes effective, the Lead Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for  the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(ii).  From and after the  effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and  obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to  be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer  to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing  Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the  replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and  obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it  prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.  The Lead  Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent  (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the relevant Revolving  Lenders, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the  terms of this Agreement.  Any Revolving Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this  paragraph (i) who agrees in writing to such designation shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank”  (in addition to being a Revolving Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by  such Revolving Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter  apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Revolving Lender.  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Issuing Bank  may, upon ten days’ prior written notice to the Lead Borrower, each other Issuing Bank and the  Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank, which resignation shall be effective as of the date referenced in  such notice (but in no event less than ten days after the delivery of such written notice); it being  understood that in the event of any such resignation, any Letter of Credit then outstanding shall  remain outstanding (irrespective of whether any amounts have been drawn at such time).  In the  event of any such resignation as an Issuing Bank, the Lead Borrower shall be entitled to appoint  any Revolving Lender that accepts such appointment in writing as successor Issuing Bank.  Upon  the acceptance of any appointment as Issuing Bank hereunder, the successor Issuing Bank shall  thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the  retiring Issuing Bank, and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties and  obligations in such capacity hereunder.  (j) Cash Collateralization.  (i) If any Event of Default exists, then on the Business Day that the Lead Borrower  receives notice from the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Revolving Lenders  demanding the deposit of Cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (j), the Lead Borrower shall  deposit, in an interest-bearing account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the  Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the relevant Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral  

 

  -83-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Account”), an amount in Cash equal to 101% of the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure as of  such date (minus the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account); provided that the  obligation to deposit such Cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit  shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the  occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Lead Borrower described in Section 7.01(f)  or (g).  (ii) Any such deposit under clause (i) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent  as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the  provisions of this paragraph (j).  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and  control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account, and the Lead Borrower  hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a First Priority  security interest in the LC Collateral Account.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall  accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative  Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been  reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement  obligations of the Lead Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans  has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders) be applied to  satisfy other Secured Obligations.  If the Lead Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash  collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together  with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid)  shall be returned to the Lead Borrower promptly but in no event later than three Business Days  after such Event of Default has been cured or waived.  (k) For the avoidance of doubt, no Letter of Credit shall be issued under the 2022 Revolving  Facility.  (l) Each 2022 Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interests as a Revolving  Lender in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Revolving Lenders who are  not 2022 Revolving Lenders for purposes of (x) any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action, or  directing or requiring the Administrative Agent to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with  respect to or under this Section 2.05 or (y) any waiver, amendment or modification of the definition of “Dollar  Letter of Credit Sublimit” or “Multicurrency Letter of Credit Sublimit”.  Section 2.06 [Reserved].  Section 2.07 Funding of Borrowings.  (a) Except as otherwise agreed by the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, each  Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of  immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m. to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it  for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s respective Applicable Percentage.   The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Lead Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts  so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account or as otherwise directed by the Lead Borrower; provided that  ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e)  shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.  (b) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Lender prior to the  proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s  share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on  such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.07 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make  available to the Lead Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if any Lender has not in fact made its share  of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Lead  Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such  corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available  

 

  -84-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   to the Lead Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such  Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) in the case of the Lead Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising  such Borrowing at such time.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall  constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the Lead Borrower’s obligation to repay the  Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall cease.  If the Lead Borrower  pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, the amount so paid shall constitute a repayment of such Borrowing  by such amount.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment  or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Lead Borrower or any other Loan Party may have  against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.  Section 2.08 Type; Interest Elections.

  -90-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in,  or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for the  Persons described above, the relevant Foreign Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the relevant  Subject Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be, and the repatriated Subject Proceeds or  Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than two  Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against  as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Initial Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) to  the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (iv)) and (B) if the Lead Borrower  determines in good faith that the repatriation to the Lead Borrower of any amounts required to  mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) above would result in  material and adverse tax consequences, taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit  actually realized in connection with such repatriation (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), as  reasonably determined by the Lead Borrower, the amount the Lead Borrower shall be required to  mandatorily prepay pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i) or (ii) above, as applicable, shall be reduced by  the Restricted Amount until such time as it may repatriate to the Lead Borrower the Restricted  Amount without incurring such material and adverse tax liability; provided that, if within 365 days  of such determination, to the extent that the repatriation of any Subject Proceeds or Excess Cash  Flow from the relevant Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have an adverse tax consequence, an  amount equal to the Subject Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, not previously applied  pursuant to preceding clause (B), shall be promptly applied to the repayment of the Term Loans  pursuant to Section 2.11(b) as otherwise required above (without regard to this clause (iv));  (v) Each Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the  time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term  Loans required to be made by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11(b), to decline all  (but not a portion) of its Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (such declined amounts, solely  to the extent not applied to any other Indebtedness of the Lead Borrower or its subsidiaries as a  mandatory prepayment of such Indebtedness, the “Declined Proceeds”), in which case such  Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Lead Borrower; provided that, for the avoidance of  doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made under Section 2.11(b)(iii) above to the extent  that such prepayment is made with the Net Proceeds of Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to  refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 6.01(p) or Replacement Term  Loans incurred to refinance Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.02(c).   If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt  of its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the  Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s  Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.  (vi) Except as may otherwise be set forth in any amendment to this Agreement in  connection with any Additional Term Loan, (A) each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this  Section 2.11(b) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans (based upon the then  outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Term Loans) (provided that any  prepayment of Term Loans constituting Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance all or a  portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 6.01(p) or Replacement Term Loans incurred to  refinance Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.02(c) shall be applied  solely to each applicable Class of refinanced or replaced Term Loans), (B) with respect to each  Class of Term Loans, all accepted prepayments under Section 2.11(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) shall be  applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans  as directed by the Lead Borrower (or, in the absence of direction from the Lead Borrower, to the  remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the Term Loans in direct order of  maturity), and (C) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders in accordance with  their respective Applicable Percentages.  The amount of such mandatory prepayments shall be  applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of  whether such outstanding Loans are ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans; provided that the  amount thereof shall be applied first to ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to  

 

  -91-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   the Eurocurrency Rate Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to  be made by the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16.  Any prepayment of Initial Term Loans  made on or prior to the date that is six months after the First Amendment Effective Date pursuant  to Section 2.11(b)(iii) as part of a Repricing Transaction shall be accompanied by the fee set forth  in Section 2.12(f).  (vii) In the event that the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the  Total Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, the Lead Borrower shall, within five  Business Days of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, prepay the Dollar Revolving  Loans and/or reduce the Dollar LC Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such  Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure as of the date of such payment to an amount not to  exceed the Total Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect by taking any of the  following actions as it shall determine at its sole discretion:  (A) prepayment of Dollar Revolving  Loans or (B) with respect to the excess Dollar LC Exposure, deposit of Cash in the LC Collateral  Account or “backstopping” or replacement of the relevant Dollar Letters of Credit, in each case, in  an amount equal to 100% of such excess Dollar LC Exposure (minus the amount then on deposit  in the LC Collateral Account).  In the event that the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit  Exposure exceeds the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, the Lead  Borrower shall, within five Business Days of receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent,  prepay the Multicurrency Revolving Loans and/or reduce the Multicurrency LC Exposure in an  aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure  as of the date of such payment to an amount not to exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving  Credit Commitment then in effect by taking any of the following actions as it shall determine at its  sole discretion:  (A) prepayment of Multicurrency Revolving Loans or (B) with respect to the  excess Multicurrency LC Exposure, deposit of Cash in the Multicurrency LC Collateral Account  or “backstopping” or replacement of the relevant Multicurrency Letters of Credit, in each case, in  an amount equal to 100% of such excess Multicurrency LC Exposure (minus the amount then on  deposit in the LC Collateral Account).  (viii) At the time of each prepayment required under Section 2.11(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), the  Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate in the form of Exhibit H  hereto signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the  calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  Each such certificate shall specify the Borrowings  being prepaid and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid.   Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.13.  All  prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.11(b) shall be subject to Section 2.16 and, in the  case of prepayments under clause (iii) above as part of a Repricing Transaction, Section 2.12(f),  but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.  Section 2.12 Fees.  (a) The Lead Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each  Revolving Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the  applicable Commitment Fee Rate per annum on the average daily amount (x) of the Unused Dollar Revolving Credit  Commitment and Unused Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period  from and including the Closing Date to the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments terminate  and (y) of the Unused 2022 Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period from and  including the Third Amendment Effective Date to the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments  terminate.

  -92-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency  Revolving Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars or the Dollar Equivalent of the daily face amount of such Lender’s  LC Exposure in respect of such Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC  Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to the later of the date on which such Initial  Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Initial Revolving  Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own  account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from the date  of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (or if terminated on an earlier date,  to the termination date of such Letter of Credit), computed at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum or such lower rate  agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the daily face amount of such Letter  of Credit, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or  extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees and fronting fees accrued  to and including the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December shall be payable in arrears for  the quarterly period then ended on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter; provided that all such fees shall  be payable on the date on which the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, and any such fees accruing  after the date on which the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other  fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of a written  demand (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation) therefor.  (c) The amount and timing of payments of fees in respect of any Ancillary Facility will be  agreed by the relevant Ancillary Lender and the Lead Borrower under such Ancillary Facility based on market rates  and terms.  (d) The Lead Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the  fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent in  writing.  (e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in U.S. Dollars and in  immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees  payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the relevant Revolving  Lenders.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.  Fees payable hereunder shall accrue through  and including the last day of the month immediately preceding the applicable fee payment date.  (f) In the event that, prior to the date that is six (6) months after the First Amendment  Effective Date, the Lead Borrower (x) prepays, repays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Initial Term Loans in  connection with a Repricing Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to  Section 2.11(b)(iii) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), or (y) effects any amendment, modification or waiver  of, or consent under, this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Lead Borrower shall pay to the  Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a  premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans so prepaid, repaid, refinanced,  substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of  the Initial Term Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction outstanding immediately prior to such  amendment.  If, prior to the date that is six (6) months after the First Amendment Effective Date, all or any portion  of the Initial Term Loans held by any Term Lender are prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced pursuant  to Section 2.19(b)(iv) as a result of, or in connection with, such Term Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting  to any waiver, consent, modification or amendment referred to in clause (y) above (or otherwise in connection with  a Repricing Transaction), such prepayment, repayment, refinancing, substitution or replacement will be made  at 101% of the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced.  All such amounts shall be  due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.  (g) Unless otherwise indicated herein, all computations of fees shall be made on the basis of  a 360-day year and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).   Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,  absent manifest error.

(i) (h) Accrued interest on each Initial Term Loan, Revolving Loan or Additional Loan shall  be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Initial Term Loan, Revolving Loan or Additional Loan  and on the Maturity Date or upon the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or any Additional  Commitments, as applicable; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (gh) of this Section 2.13 shall  be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Initial Term Loan, Revolving Loan  or Additional Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the termination of the relevant  revolving commitments), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of  such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, SOFR Loan  or EURIBOR Rate Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such  Initial Term Loan, Revolving Loan or Additional Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.  (j) (i) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that  interest computed for ABR Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars based on the Prime Rate and/or Canadian Base Rate  Loans based on the prime rate for Canadian Dollar Loans specified in paragraph (x) of the definition thereof and/or  SONIA Rate Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days  (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the  first day but excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate,  

 

  -94-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   EURIBOR Rate or SONIA Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be  conclusive absent manifest error.  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; provided, further  that, in the case of any Alternate Base Rate Loan, Canadian Base Rate Loan or SONIA Rate Loan, interest shall  accrue through and including the last day of the month preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date.  (k) (j) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this  Agreement or in any other Loan Document and payable by the Lead Borrower with respect to Loans denominated in  Canadian Dollars is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days, 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be,  the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the  applicable rate based on a year of 360 days, 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual  number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded)  ends, and (z) divided by 360, 365 or 366, as the case may be, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest  does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this  Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.  (l) (k) The rate and time of payment of interest with respect to any Ancillary Facility shall be  determined by agreement between the relevant Ancillary Lender and the relevant Revolving Facility Borrower under  such Ancillary Facility based on normal market rates and terms.  (m) (l) Each Borrower acknowledges that there is a material distinction between the nominal  and effective rates of interest and that it is capable of making the calculations necessary to compare such rates and  that the calculations herein are to be made using the nominal rate method and not the basis of effective yearly rates of  or any basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest. Each Borrower confirms that it fully  understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to the Advances based on the methodology for  calculating annual rates provided for in this Agreement.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or  assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan  Document, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed  to each Borrower as required pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada). The Administrative Agent agrees that  if requested in writing by the Lead Borrower it shall calculate the nominal and effective per annum rate of interest on  any Advance outstanding at any time and provide such information to the Lead Borrower promptly following such  request; provided that any error in any such calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request, shall  not relieve any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor result in  any liability to the Administrative Agent.  (n) (m) Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige a Loan Party incorporated or  otherwise organized under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof to pay any fine, penalty or rate of  interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that  has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears  shall not apply to such Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of  interest payable on principal money not in arrears.  (o) (n) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Loan Party incorporated or otherwise  organized under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof to make any payment of interest or other  amount payable to any Secured Party in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any Applicable  Law or would result in a receipt by that Secured Party of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed  under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to  have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would  not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by that Secured Party of “interest” at a “criminal rate”,  such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:  (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the affected  Secured Party; and  

 

  -95-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other  amounts required to be paid to the affected Secured Party which would constitute interest for  purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).  (p) Term SOFR Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use or administration of SOFR  or Term SOFR under the 2022 Revolving Facility, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lead  Borrower, will have the right to make Term SOFR Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding  anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Term SOFR  Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this  Agreement or any other Loan Document.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lead Borrower and  the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Term SOFR Conforming Changes in connection with the use or  administration of SOFR or Term SOFR, as applicable.  Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest.    (a) If at least two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a  Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing (other than with respect to the BA Rate):  (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive  absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO  Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period; or  (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate  or Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to  such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest  Period;  then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders by telephone  or facsimile or other electronic transmission as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative  Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,  which the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to do, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion  of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing, as  applicable, shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall (x) if denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, be  converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (y) if denominated in any  other currency, be converted into a Daily Rate Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,  and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing  shall (x) if denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, be made as an ABR Borrowing or a Canadian Base  Rate Borrowing, as applicable or (y) if denominated in any other currency, be made as a Daily Rate Borrowing.  (b) Inability to Determine Rates on Revolving Loans Denominated in Canadian Dollars,  Pounds Sterling and Euros.   (i) With respect to Revolving Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, Euros or  Pounds Sterling, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive  absent manifest error), or the Lead Borrower or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative  Agent that the Lead Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined that:  (1) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining  the Relevant Rate for Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, as applicable, because none of the tenors of such  Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is available or published on a current basis and such  circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;  (2) the Relevant Governmental Body has made a public statement  identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or  

 

  -96-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Euros, as applicable (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be representative or  made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling  or Euros, as applicable, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement,  there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such  representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, as applicable (the latest  date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, as applicable  (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or  indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);  (3) syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the  U.S., are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace  the Relevant Rate for Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, as applicable;  (4) or if the events or circumstances of the type described in  Section 2.14(b)(i)(1), (2) or (3) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, the  Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the  Relevant Rate for Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, as applicable or any then current Successor Rate for  Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, as applicable in accordance with this Section 2.14 with an alternative  benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for broadly syndicated credit  facilities agented in the U.S. and denominated in Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, as applicable, for such  alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark  giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and  agented in the U.S. and denominated in Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, as applicable, for such  benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information  service as reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower in accordance with  Section 2.14(b)(iv) below (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto,  a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the  fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders  and the Lead Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the  Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.;   (c) The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify each Lender of  the implementation of any Successor Rate agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower.  (d) Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of the Successor Rate (exclusive of  any margin) shall provide that in no event shall such Successor Rate be less than 0.75% for the purposes of this  Agreement.   (e) In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent and  the Lead Borrower will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time  and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments  implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective solely with the consent of  the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, and without any further action or consent of any  other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or, if (x) the Administrative Agent decides in its  reasonable discretion that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or (y) if  the Administrative Agent decides, and the Lead Borrower reasonably agrees, that no market practice for the  administration of such Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as (i) in the case of clause (x)  above, the Administrative Agent reasonably proposes as administratively feasible and consistent with its  administration of similarly situated credit facilities and reasonably agreed by the Lead Borrower or (ii) in the case of  clause (y) above, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower reasonably agree is reasonably necessary in  connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents); provided that, with respect to  any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such  Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes  effective.  

 

  -97-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Section 2.15 Increased Costs.  (a) If any Change in Law:  (i) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar  requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any  Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate) or Issuing Bank,  (ii) subjects any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes,  Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or  other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or  (iii) imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other  condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SOFR Loans, EURIBOR Rate  Revolving Loans or SONIA Rate Revolving Loans made by any Lender or any Letter of Credit or  participation therein,  and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the relevant Lender of making or maintaining any  Eurocurrency Rate Loan, SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Rate Revolving Loans or SONIA Rate Revolving LoasLoans (or  of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of  participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or funding or maintaining any Ancillary Commitment or  to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of  principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, SOFR Loan, EURIBOR Rate Revolving  Loan or SONIA Rate Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit in an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to  be material, then, within 30 days after the Lead Borrower’s receipt of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c)  of this Section 2.15, the Lead Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional  amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs  incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Lead Borrower shall not be liable for such compensation if (x) the  relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (y) such Lender  invokes Section 2.20 or (z) in the case of requests for reimbursement under clause (ii) above resulting from a market  disruption, (A) the relevant circumstances are not generally affecting the banking market or (B) the applicable  request has not been made by Lenders constituting Required Lenders.  (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or  capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s  capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this  Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit  issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such  Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes, which  shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.17 (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s  policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to liquidity and  capital adequacy), then within 30 days of receipt by the Lead Borrower of the certificate contemplated by  paragraph (c) of this Section 2.15 the Lead Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable,  such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such  Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.  (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts  necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in  paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or  amounts were determined and certifying that such Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated  borrowers shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation  pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such  compensation; provided that the Lead Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank  

 

  -98-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that  such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or  reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that  if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred  to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.  Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the conversion or prepayment of any  principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, SOFR Loan or EURIBOR Rate Revolving Loan other than on the last day  of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration or  otherwise), (b) the failure to borrow or prepay any SONIA Rate Revolving Loan or borrow, convert, continue or  prepay any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, SOFR Loan or EURIBOR Rate Revolving Loan on the date or in the amount  specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, (c) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, SOFR Loan or  EURIBOR Rate Revolving Loan of any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as  a result of a request by the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or (d) analogous loss, cost or expense arising  with respect to any Ancillary Facility on the basis of the nature of the credit extensions provided for thereunder,  then, in any such event, the Lead Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense incurred by  such Lender that is attributable to such event (other than loss of profit).  In the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan,  SOFR Loan or EURIBOR Rate Revolving Loan, the loss, cost or expense of any Lender shall be the amount  reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have  accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate, Adjusted  Term SOFR or EURIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such  event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or  continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest  which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were  it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and  period from other banks in the Eurodollar market; it being understood that such loss, cost or expense shall in any  case exclude any interest rate floor and all administrative, processing or similar fees.  In the case of a SONIA Rate  Revolving Loan, the loss, cost or expense of any Lender shall be the amount reasonably determined by such Lender.  A certificate of any Lender (i) setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to  this Section 2.16, the basis therefor and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount or amounts were  determined and (ii) certifying that such Lender is generally charging the relevant amounts to similarly situated  borrowers shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Lead  Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt  thereof.  Section 2.17 Taxes.  (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any  Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by  applicable Requirements of Law.  If any applicable Requirement of Law requires the deduction or withholding of  any Tax from any such payment, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax and/or Other Tax, the amount payable  by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions and withholdings  have been made (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this  Section 2.17), each Lender and each Issuing Bank (as applicable), or, in the case of any payment made to the  Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent, receives an amount equal to the sum it would  have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make  such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant  Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.  (b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental  Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.  (c) Each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each  Lender and each Issuing Bank within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified  Taxes or Other Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, on  

 

  -99-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   or with respect to any payment by or any payment on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder  (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this  Section 2.17) and any penalties (other than any penalties attributable to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful  misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank), interest and, in each case, any reasonable  expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that if such Loan Party reasonably believes that such  Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, as  applicable, will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Loan Party to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which  shall be repaid to such Loan Party in accordance with Section 2.17(g)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole  determination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, result in any additional out-of-pocket  costs or expenses not reimbursed by such Loan Party or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the  Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable.  In connection with any request for  reimbursement under this Section 2.17(c), the relevant Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as  applicable, shall deliver a certificate to the Lead Borrower (i) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and  calculation of the amount of the relevant payment or liability and (ii) certifying that it is generally charging the  relevant amounts to similarly situated borrowers, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.17(c), the Loan Parties shall not be required to  indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any Indemnified Taxes or Other  Taxes incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes such  written demand to the Loan Parties; provided, further, that if such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed  retroactively, the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect  thereof.  (d) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent,  within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or with respect to  any payment under any Loan Document that is attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent  that no Loan Party has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes  and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or  Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.05(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant  Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or  paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising  therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the  relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any  Lender or Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender and  Issuing Bank hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing  to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to any  Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to any Lender  or Issuing Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).  (e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any  Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, 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 that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative  Agent.  (f) Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding  Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Lead  Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Lead  Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as  the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to permit such payments  to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if  reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other  documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Lead  Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Lead Borrower or the Administrative  

 

  -100-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   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 Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) 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.  (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:  (A) each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Lead  Borrower 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 Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed  original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal  backup withholding tax;  (B) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the  Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on  or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this  Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Lead  Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:  (1) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an  income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party (x) with respect to payments of  interest under any Loan Document, executed original copies of IRS  Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or  reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of  such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any  Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an  exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the  “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;  (2) executed original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;  (3) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the  exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code,  (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-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 Lead Borrower 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 original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS  Form W-8BEN-E; or  (4) to the extent any Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner,  executed original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS  Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax  Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3,  IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial  owner, as applicable; provided that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership and  one or more 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 L-4 on behalf of each such partner;  

 

  -101-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   (C) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the  Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on  or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this  Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Lead  Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed original copies of any other form  prescribed by applicable Requirements of 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 Requirements of Law  to permit the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or  deduction required to be made; and  (D) if a payment made to any Lender under any Loan 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 Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times  prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably  requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation as is  prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by  Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and may be necessary for the Lead Borrower and  the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine  whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, or to  determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  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 or promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the  Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this  Section 2.17(f), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to  deliver.  (g) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank determines, in its sole  discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which  it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts  pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity  payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the  Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the  Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and  without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);  provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to  repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant  Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative  Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event shall the Administrative Agent, any  Issuing Bank or any Lender be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) to the  extent that the payment thereof would place the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in a less  favorable net after-Tax position than the position that the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender  would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and  the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This  Section 2.17 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make  available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the relevant  Loan Party or any other Person.  (h) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or  replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the  

 

  -102-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan  Document.  (i) For the purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” shall include any Ancillary  Lender.  Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Payments.  (a) Unless otherwise specified, the Lead Borrower shall make each payment required to be  made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements or of amounts  payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressed hereunder or under such Loan  Document (or, if no time is expressly required, by 2:00 p.m.) on the date when due, in immediately available funds,  without set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17) or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such  time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next  succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the  Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Lead Borrower by the Administrative Agent,  except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that  payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The  Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the  appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s  portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round such  Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.  Except as otherwise  expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Agreed  Currency, all payments (including accrued interest) hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars.  Except to the extent  expressly provided for herein, all payments with respect to principal of and interest on Loans in an applicable  Agreed Currency shall be made in the applicable Agreed Currency.  Any payment required to be made by the  Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative  Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the  regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make  such payment.  (b) Subject in all respects to the provision of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, all  proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent at any time when an Event of Default exists and all or  any portion of the Loans have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01 shall, upon election by the  Administrative Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, be applied first, to the payment of all costs and  expenses then due incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any collection, sale or realization on  Collateral or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Secured  Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all  advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan  Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or  under any other Loan Document, second, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense  reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent (other than those covered in clause first above) or any Issuing  Bank from the Lead Borrower constituting Secured Obligations, third, to payment in full of Unfunded  Advances/Participations (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among, as applicable, the  Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Unfunded  Advances/Participations owed to them on the date of any such distribution), fourth, on a pro rata basis in  accordance with the amounts of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for  which no claim has yet been made) owed to the Secured Parties on the date of any such distribution, to the payment  in full of the Secured Obligations (including, with respect to LC Exposure, an amount to be paid to the  Administrative Agent equal to 100% of the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure (minus the Dollar Equivalent of  the amount then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account and any amount applied pursuant to clause “second”  above) on such date, to be held in the LC Collateral Account as Cash collateral for such Obligations); provided that  if any Letter of Credit expires undrawn, then any Cash collateral held to secure the related LC Exposure shall be  applied in accordance with this Section 2.17(b), beginning with clause “first” above, fifth, as provided for under the  

 

  -103-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and sixth, to, or at the direction of, the Lead Borrower or as a court  of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  (c) If any Lender obtains payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of  any right of set-off or otherwise) in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans of any Class or  participations in LC Disbursements held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of  the aggregate amount of its Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon  than the proportion received by any other Lender with Loans of such Class and participations in LC Disbursements,  then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for Cash at face value) participations in the Loans  of such Class and sub-participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders of such Class at such time outstanding to  the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in  accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class  and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any  portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price  restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to  (x) any payment made by the Lead Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this  Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a  participation in any of its Loans to any permitted assignee or participant, including any payment made or deemed  made in connection with Sections 2.22, 2.23 and 9.02(c).  The Lead Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees,  to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the  foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Lead Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to  such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Lead Borrower in the amount of such  participation.  The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of  manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.18(c) and will, in each case, notify the Lenders  following any such purchases or repayments.  Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this  Section 2.18(c) shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions  and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the  same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any payment received by a Lender in its capacity as an Ancillary  Lender at any time prior to service of notice under Section 7.01 or, if applicable, such time as the remedies provided  thereunder automatically come into effect, if, after giving effect to the provisions of Section 7.01, an Ancillary  Lender is subject to sharing obligations under this Section 2.18, such obligations shall not apply to any payment  received by such Ancillary Lender to the extent that such payment is applied to reduce the Gross Outstandings under  the applicable Ancillary Facility to the net limit on which such Ancillary Facility is provided.  (d) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the  date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank  hereunder that the Lead Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Lead  Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,  distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank the amount due.  In such event, if the Lead Borrower has not in  fact made such payment, then each Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the  Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest  thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of  payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.  (e) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to  Section 2.07(b) or Section 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any  contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of  such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully  paid.  Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or such Lender determines it can  no longer make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SOFR Loans, SONIA Rate Revolving Loans or EURIBOR  

 

  -104-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Rate Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, or the Lead Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to  any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such  Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder  or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to  another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or  assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the  future or mitigate the impact of Section 2.20, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any  material unreimbursed out-of-pocket cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in  any material respect.  The Lead Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any  Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.  (b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or such Lender determines it  can no longer make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SOFR Loans, SONIA Rate Revolving Loans or  EURIBOR Rate Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.20, (ii) if the Lead Borrower is required to pay any  additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to  Section 2.17, (iii) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) if in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver  or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender”, “each Revolving Lender” or “each Lender directly affected  thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders)  with respect to which Required Lender or Required Revolving Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding  loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and  unused commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained or (v) in connection with any  Extension Offer set forth in Section 2.23 below, as applicable, any Lender is a non-consenting Lender, then the Lead  Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,  (x) terminate the applicable Commitments and/or Additional Commitments of such Lender, and repay all  Obligations of the Lead Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans and participations held by  such Lender as of such termination date (provided that if, after giving effect such termination and repayment, the  aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit  Commitments then in effect, then the Lead Borrower shall, not later than the next Business Day, prepay one or more  Revolving Borrowings (and, if no Revolving Borrowings are outstanding, deposit Cash collateral in the LC  Collateral Account) in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess) or (y) replace such Lender by requiring such  Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in  accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all of its interests, rights and obligations  under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be  another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such Lender shall have received payment  of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC  Disbursements, in each case of such Class of Loans, Commitments and/or Additional Commitments, accrued  interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it under any Loan Document with respect to such  Class of Loans, Commitments and/or Additional Commitments, (B) in the case of any assignment resulting from a  claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such  assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (C) such assignment does not conflict  with applicable law.  No Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall be required to make any such assignment and  delegation, and the Lead Borrower may not repay the Obligations of such Lender or terminate its Commitments or  Additional Commitments, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances  entitling the Lead Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  Each Lender agrees that if it  is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and  Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note  (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes) subject to such Assignment and  Assumption (provided that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.19 to execute an Assignment  and Assumption or deliver any such Promissory Note shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding  assignment) invalid), such assignment shall be recorded in the Register, any such Promissory Note shall be deemed  cancelled.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled  with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in  the name of such Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to  such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the  Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (b).  To the extent  

 

  -105-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   that any Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(b)(iv) in connection with a Repricing Transaction requiring  payment of a fee pursuant to Section 2.12(f), the Lead Borrower shall pay to each Lender being replaced as a result  of such Repricing Transaction the fee set forth in Section 2.12(f).  Section 2.20 Illegality.  (a) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or  that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its  applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to any  Eurocurrency Rate, the SONIA Rate or, the EURIBOR Rate, SOFR or Term SOFR or to determine or charge  interest rates based upon any Eurocurrency Rate, the SONIA Rate, or the EURIBOR Rate, SOFR or Term SOFR, or  any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or  to take deposits of U.S. Dollars or any Agreed Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof  by such Lender to the Lead Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make  or continue LIBO Rate Loans or SOFR Loans in U.S. Dollars or make or continue BA Rate Loans in Canadian  Dollars or to convert ABR Loans to LIBO Rate Loans or SOFR Loans or to convert Canadian Base Rate Loans to  BA Rate Loans shall be suspended, (ii) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SONIA Rate Revolving  Loans shall be suspended, (iii) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue EURIBOR Rate Revolving Loans  shall be suspended and (iv) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans or  Canadian Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Published LIBO Rate or  SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate or the BA Rate component of the Canadian Base Rate, respectively,  the interest rate on which ABR Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans of such Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such  illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Published LIBO Rate or Term SOFR  component of the Alternate Base Rate or the BA Rate component of the Canadian Base Rate, respectively, in each  case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to  such determination no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly).  (b) Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Lead Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender  (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all of such Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans or SOFR Loans  denominated in U.S. Dollars and/or BA Rate Loans to ABR Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans respectively either  on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency  Rate Loans or SOFR Loans, as applicable to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to  maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans (in which case the Lead Borrower shall not be required to  make payments pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with such payment) and (ii) if such notice asserts the  illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Published LIBO Rate, Term SOFR,  the BA Rate, the SONIA Rate or the EURIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such  suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference  to the Published LIBO Rate component, Term SOFR component or BA 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 Published LIBO Rate, Term SOFR, the BA Rate, the SONIA Rate or the  EURIBOR Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Lead Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on  the amount so prepaid or converted, together with, solely in the case of SOFR Loans, any additional amounts  required pursuant to Section 2.15.  Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation  will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be materially  disadvantageous to such Lender.   (c) If it becomes unlawful under any Sanctions Laws and Regulations applicable to any  Lender for that Lender to perform any of its obligations to the German Borrower as contemplated by this Agreement  or to fund, issue or maintain its participation in any Loan to the German Borrower, (i) that Lender, shall promptly  notify the Administrative Agent upon becoming aware of that event, (ii) the affected Commitments of that Lender  will be immediately suspended, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower who may replace such  Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 9.05(b) (with  the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance unless waived by the Administrative Agent) all of  its affected rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the  Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to find a replacement Lender or  

 

  -106-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   other such Person, on the last day of the Interest Period for each affected Loan occurring after receipt by the Lead  Borrower of notice pursuant to clause (iii) or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the notice delivered to the  Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law).  (d) If it becomes unlawful under any Sanctions Laws and Regulations for an Issuing Bank to  issue or leave outstanding any Letter of Credit then, (i) that Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative  Agent upon becoming aware of that event and (ii) upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Lead Borrower, the  Lead Borrower shall procure that each Loan Party shall use its best endeavors to procure the release of each Letter  of Credit issued by that Issuing Bank and outstanding at such time.  Section 2.21 Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if  any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a  Defaulting Lender:  (a) Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of any Commitment of such  Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and, subject to clause (d)(iv) below, on the participation of such  Defaulting Lender in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.12(b) and pursuant to any other provisions of this  Agreement or other Loan Document.  (b) The Commitments and the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall  not be included in determining whether all Lenders, each affected Lender, the Required Lenders, the Required  Revolving Lenders or such other number of Lenders as may be required hereby or under any other Loan Document  have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or modification  pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders  or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately and adversely relative to other  affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.  (c) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative  Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to  Section 2.11, Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 2.18, Article 7, Section 9.05 or otherwise, and  including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to  Section 9.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent and, where  relevant, the Lead Borrower as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to  the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such  Defaulting Lender to any applicable Issuing Bank hereunder; third, if so reasonably determined by the  Administrative Agent or reasonably requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, to be held as Cash collateral for  future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Letter of Credit;  fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists as the Lead Borrower may request, 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; fifth, as the Administrative Agent or the Lead Borrower may elect, to be held in a deposit account and  released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the  payment of any amounts owing to the non-Defaulting Lenders or Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a  court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any non-Defaulting Lender or any Issuing Bank against such Defaulting  Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the  payment of any amounts owing to the Lead Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent  jurisdiction obtained by the Lead Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s  breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a  court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan  or LC Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such  Loan or LC Exposure was made or created, as applicable, at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02  were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Exposure owed to, all  non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Exposure  owed to, such Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to any Defaulting  Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by any Defaulting Lender or to post Cash collateral pursuant  

 

  -107-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   to this Section 2.21(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender  irrevocably consents hereto.  (d) If any LC Exposure exists at the time any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:  (i) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated  among the Initial Revolving Lenders of each applicable Class that are non-Defaulting Lenders in  accordance with their respective Dollar Revolving Applicable Percentages and/or Multicurrency  Revolving Applicable Percentages, as applicable, but only to the extent that (w) the conditions set  forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation,  (x) the sum of all  non-Defaulting Lenders’ Initial Revolving Credit Exposures plus all non-Defaulting Lenders’  Ancillary Commitments does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Initial Revolving  Credit Commitments and (y) the sum of each non-Defaulting Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit  Exposure plus such non-Defaulting Lender’s Ancillary Commitments does not exceed the total of  such non-Defaulting Lender’s Initial Revolving Credit Commitments;  (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be  effected, the Lead Borrower shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it  hereunder or under law, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent,  Cash collateralize 100% of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and any obligations of such  Defaulting Lender to fund participations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to  paragraph (i) above and any Cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender or pursuant to  Section 2.21(c) above) or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative  Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to such LC Exposure and obligations to  fund participations.  Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce LC  Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (A) the elimination of the  applicable LC Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of  the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following  compliance with Section 2.19)) or (B) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that  there exists excess Cash collateral (including as a result of any subsequent reallocation of LC  Exposure among non-Defaulting Lenders described in clause (i) above);  (iii) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this  Section 2.21(d), then the fees payable to the Initial Revolving Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a)  and (b), as the case may be, shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and  (iv) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not Cash collateralized, prepaid or  reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of  the applicable Issuing Bank or any Initial Revolving Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees  payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be  payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash  collateralized or reallocated.  (e) So long as any Initial Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be  required to issue, extend, create, incur, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that  the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting  Lenders, Cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.21(c) and/or Cash collateral provided by the Lead Borrower  in accordance with Section 2.21(d), and participating interests in any such or newly issued, extended or created  Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Initial Revolving Lenders that are non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner  consistent with Section 2.21(d)(i) (it being understood that Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).  (f) In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower agree that any  Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the  LC Exposure of the Initial Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Initial  Revolving Credit Commitment, and on such date such Initial Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the  

 

  -108-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Initial Revolving Loans of the other Initial Revolving Lenders or participations in Initial Revolving Loans as the  Administrative Agent shall determine as are necessary in order for such Initial Revolving Lender to hold such Initial  Revolving Loans or participations in accordance with its Dollar Revolving Applicable Percentage and/or  Multicurrency Revolving Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has  adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (x) no adjustments will be made  retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Lead Borrower while such  Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (y) 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 such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Section 2.22 Incremental Credit Extensions.  (a) The Lead Borrower may, at any time, on one or more occasions deliver a written request  to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such request to  each of the Lenders) to (i) add one or more new tranches of term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of  the Initial Term Loans or any Additional Term Loans by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to such  Loans (any such new tranche or increase, an “Incremental Term Facility” and any loans made pursuant to an  Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) add one or more new tranches of revolving  commitments and/or increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or any Additional Revolving Commitment  (any such new tranche or increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term  Facility, “Incremental Facilities”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans” and, together with  any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount, when aggregated with the  aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Equivalent Debt issued or incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(z), not to  exceed the Incremental Cap, which Incremental Facilities may be denominated in U.S. Dollars or Agreed Currencies  (with the interest rate calculations in respect of Agreed Currencies not already provided for in this Agreement to be  defined in a manner mutually satisfactory to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent); provided that:  (i) no Incremental Commitment may be less than $10,000,000,  (ii) except as separately agreed from time to time between the Lead Borrower and any  Lender, no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Commitment, and the  determination to provide such commitments shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of  such Lender,  (iii) no Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (or the creation, provision or  implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender other than in its  capacity, if any, as a Lender providing all or part of any Incremental Commitment or Incremental  Loan,  (iv) (A) except as otherwise provided herein, the terms of each Incremental Revolving  Facility (other than any terms which are applicable only after the then-existing maturity date with  respect to the Revolving Facility or any Additional Revolving Facility, as applicable, and other  than as permitted under clause (v) below), will be substantially identical to those applicable to the  Revolving Facility or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Borrower and the  Administrative Agent and (B) no Incremental Revolving Facility will mature earlier than the  then-applicable Latest Revolving Loan Maturity Date or require any scheduled amortization or  mandatory commitment reduction prior to such Maturity Date,  (v) the interest rate applicable to any Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans will  be determined by the Lead Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility or  Incremental Loans; provided that, except with respect to any Incremental Term Loans (I) that are  used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment, (II) that mature more than  12 months after the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and/or (III) that are incurred on and after the  12 month anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date, in the case of any Incremental Term  Facility or Incremental Term Loans (other than a customary bridge facility) which are broadly  

 

  -109-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   syndicated, funded in U.S. Dollars and are pari passu with the Initial Term Loans in right of  payment and with respect to security and that are incurred under clause (e) of the Incremental Cap  (other than through reallocation), such all-in-yield will not be more than 0.50% higher than the  corresponding all-in-yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans unless the interest rate margin with  respect to the Initial Term Loans is adjusted so that the all-in-yield is equal to the all-in-yield with  respect to the relevant Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Term Loans, minus 0.50%;  provided, further, that in determining the applicable interest rate under this clause (v):   (w) original issue discount or upfront fees paid by the Lead Borrower in connection with the  Initial Term Loans or any Incremental Term Facility (based on a four-year average life to  maturity), shall be included, (x) any amendments to the Applicable Rate in respect of the Initial  Term Loans that became effective subsequent to the First Amendment Effective Date but prior to  the time of the addition of the relevant Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Term Loans shall  be included, (y) arrangement, commitment, structuring and underwriting fees, consent fees and  any amendment fees (regardless of whether such fees are paid to or shared in whole or in part with  any lender) paid or payable by the Lead Borrower to the Arrangers (or their Affiliates) in their  respective capacities as such in connection with the Initial Term Loans or any Incremental Term  Facility in the same currency or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in their capacities as  such applicable to the relevant Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Term Loans and any  other fees not paid by the Lead Borrower to all relevant lenders generally shall be excluded and  (z) if the relevant Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Term Loans in the same currency  include any interest rate floor that is greater than that applicable to the existing Initial Term Loans  in the same currency, and such floor is applicable to such existing Initial Term Loans on the date  of determination, the excess amount shall be equated to interest margin for determining the  applicable interest rate, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the existing  Initial Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in  such case, at the election of the Lead Borrower, the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate  margin) applicable to the existing Initial Term Loans may be increased to the extent of such  differential between interest rate floors to adjust the all-in-yield of the Initial Term Loans to  maintain the relevant differential,  (vi) the final maturity date with respect to any Incremental Term Loans shall be no  earlier than the Latest Maturity Date at the time of the incurrence thereof,  (vii) the amortization requirements for such Incremental Term Loans may differ so  long as the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no  shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then-existing tranche(s) of  Term Loans (without giving effect to any prepayments thereof),  (viii) (A) any Incremental Term Facility shall rank pari passu with any then-existing  tranche of Revolving Loans in right of payment and shall rank pari passu with any then-existing  tranche of Revolving Loans with respect to security and (B) no Incremental Facility may be  (x) guaranteed by any Person which is not a Loan Party or (y) secured by any assets other than the  Collateral (other than, in the case of any Incremental Facility incurred by an Additional Borrower  as a Non-U.S. Facility, a Non-U.S. Facility which may be guaranteed by Persons that are not Loan  Parties on the date when such Non-U.S. Facility is established and secured by any collateral in a  non-U.S. jurisdiction provided that such Additional Borrower, the additional Persons that provide  guarantees and collateral and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (including the  Lenders that provide such Incremental Facility) enter into an agreement that contains customary  collateral allocation mechanism sharing provisions between such Non-U.S. Facility and the  U.S. Credit Facilities),  (ix) any prepayment (other than any scheduled amortization payment) of Incremental  Term Loans that are pari passu with any previously incurred and then-existing Term Loans in  right of payment and security shall be made on a pro rata basis with such previously incurred and  existing Term Loans, except that the Lead Borrower and the lenders providing the relevant  

 

  -110-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Incremental Term Loans shall be permitted, in their sole discretion, to elect to prepay or receive,  as applicable, any prepayments on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata  basis),  (x) [reserved],   (xi) except as otherwise agreed by the lenders providing the relevant Incremental  Facility in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition (which shall be subject to  Section 2.22(i)), no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such  incremental facility,  (xii) except as otherwise agreed by the lenders providing the relevant Incremental  Facility in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition (which shall be subject to  Section 2.22(i)), all representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 and in each other Loan  Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality, in all  respects) on and as of the applicable closing date in respect of such Incremental Facility with the  same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and  warrants expressly relate to an earlier day, in which case they shall be true and correct in all  material respects (or, if qualified by materiality, in all respects) as of such earlier date.,  (xiii) the terms of any Incremental Term Facility shall be as agreed between the Lead  Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans;,  (xiv) the proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for working capital and  other general corporate purposes and any other use not prohibited by this Agreement;,  (xv) on the date of the making of any Incremental Term Loans that will be added to  any Class of Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.08  or 2.13, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of) each borrowing  of outstanding Term Loans, as applicable, of the same type with the same Interest Period of the  respective Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding  Borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate  proportionately in each then outstanding borrowing of such Term Loans, as applicable, of the  same type with the same Interest Period of the respective Class;, and  (xvi) unless the Administrative Agent agrees otherwise, at no time shall there be more  than three separate Maturity Dates in effect with respect to the Revolving Facility and any existing  Additional Revolving Facility at any time.  (b) Incremental Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender, or by any other  lender (other than any Disqualified Institution) (any such other lender being called an “Additional Lender”);  provided that the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility and any Issuing  Bank) shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to the relevant Additional Lender’s  provision of Incremental Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 9.05(b) for an assignment  of Loans to such Additional Lender; provided further that any Additional Lender that is an Affiliated Lender shall  be subject to the provisions of Section 9.05(g), mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as if Incremental Commitments  and related Obligations had been obtained by such Lender by way of assignment.  (c) Each Lender or Additional Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Commitment  shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower all such documentation (including an  amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative  Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Commitment.  On the effective date of such Incremental  Commitment, each Additional Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.  

 

  -111-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   (d) As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility or the making of  any Incremental Loans, (i) upon its reasonable request, the Administrative Agent shall have received customary  written opinions of counsel, as well as such reaffirmation agreements, supplements and/or amendments as it shall  reasonably require, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received, from each Additional Lender, an  administrative questionnaire, in the form provided to such Additional Lender by the Administrative Agent (the  “Administrative Questionnaire”) and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Additional  Lender, and the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have received all fees required to be paid in respect of such  Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the  Lead Borrower signed by a Responsible Officer thereof:  (A) certifying and attaching a copy of the resolutions adopted by the  governing body of the Lead Borrower approving or consenting to such Incremental  Facility or Incremental Loans, and  (B) to the extent applicable, certifying that the condition set forth in  clause (a)(xi) above has been satisfied.  (e) Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this  Section 2.22:  (i) if such Incremental Revolving Facility is implemented by increasing the amount  of then-existing Total Revolving Credit Commitments (rather than by implementing a new tranche  of Revolving Loans), (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will  automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant Incremental  Revolving Facility Lender, and each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender will  automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving  Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to  each deemed assignment and assumption of participations (and after taking into account the  Ancillary Commitments of each Multicurrency Revolving Lender), all of the Revolving Lenders’  (including each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender) participations hereunder in Letters of  Credit and (ii) the existing Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Revolving  Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders of such Class (including the Revolving Lenders  providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Revolving Lenders  (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility) shall  purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving  Lenders of such Class participate in each outstanding borrowing of Revolving Loans and  participate hereunder in Letters of Credit pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Credit  Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Credit  Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.22); it being understood and agreed that the minimum  borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this  Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (i);   (ii) if such Incremental Revolving Facility is implemented pursuant to a request to add  one or more new tranches of revolving commitments of the same Class as the Revolving  Facilities, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at  different rates on the existing Revolving Facilities and such Incremental Revolving Facility,  (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the then-existing Revolving Facility and such  Incremental Revolving Facility and (C) repayments made in connection with any permanent  repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (3) below)) of Incremental  Revolving Loans after the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be  made on a pro rata basis with the then-existing Revolving Facility and any other then outstanding  Incremental Revolving Facility, (2) all letters of credit made or issued, as applicable, under such  Incremental Revolving Facility shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Lenders  within such Class and (3) the permanent repayment of Loans with respect to, and termination of  commitments under, such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis with  

 

  -112-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   the then-existing Revolving Facility and any other then outstanding Incremental Revolving  Facility, except that the Lead Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate  commitments under such Incremental Revolving Facility on a greater than pro rata basis as  compared with any other revolving facility with a later Maturity Date than such revolving facility;  and  (iii) if such Incremental Revolving Facility is implemented pursuant to a request to add  one or more new tranches of revolving commitments of a different Class as the Revolving  Facilities, (1) the borrowing and repayment of Incremental Revolving Loans after the effective  date of such Incremental Revolving Commitments may be made on a pro rata basis, lesser than  pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis with the then-existing Revolving Facility and any  other then outstanding Incremental Revolving Facility in accordance with the terms of such  Incremental Revolving Facility, (2) all letters of credit made or issued, as applicable, under such  Incremental Revolving Facility may be participated on a pro rata basis, lesser than pro rata basis  or greater than pro rata basis by all Revolving Lenders within such Class in accordance with the  terms of such Incremental Revolving Facility and (3) the permanent repayment of Loans with  respect to, and termination of commitments under, such Incremental Revolving Facility may be  made on a pro rata basis, lesser than pro rata basis or greater than pro rata basis with the  then-existing Revolving Facility and any other then outstanding Incremental Revolving Facility in  accordance with the terms of such Incremental Revolving Facility.  (f) Effective on the date of effectiveness of each Incremental Revolving Facility, the  maximum amount of LC Exposure, Dollar LC Exposure and Multicurrency LC Exposure permitted hereunder shall  increase by an amount, if any, agreed upon by Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lead Borrower.  (g) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such  amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Lead Borrower as may be necessary in order  to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Loans or commitments increased or extended pursuant to this  Section 2.22 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the  Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or  sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.22.  (h) To the extent the provisions of clause (a)(xiii) above require that Lenders making new  Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding borrowings of Eurocurrency  Rate Loans of the respective Class of Term Loans, as applicable, it is acknowledged that the effect thereof may  result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during  an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans of the respective Class and which will  end on the last day of such Interest Period).  (i) Limited Condition Acquisitions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this  Section 2.22 or in any other provision of any Loan Document:  (i) if the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are intended to be applied to finance a  Limited Condition Acquisition, the conditions precedent to Lead Borrower’s right to request such  Incremental Facility for a Limited Condition Acquisition shall be limited to the following:  (a) on  the date of the signing of the definitive acquisition agreement for such Limited Condition  Acquisition, (x) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (y) each of the  representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all  material respects (except (I) with respect to representations and warranties expressly made as of an  earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material  respects as of such earlier date and (II) that if any such representation or warranty contains any  materiality qualifier, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects); and  (b) at the date of closing of such Limited Condition Acquisition and the funding of the applicable  Incremental Facility, (A) no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (f) or (g) shall have occurred  and be continuing, (B) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a  

 

  -113-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   condition to funding such advance shall be the customary specified representations and the  customary specified acquisition agreement representations agreed between the Lead Borrower and  the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility; and  (ii) in the case of the incurrence of any indebtedness or liens or the making of any  investments, restricted payments, prepayments of subordinated or junior debt, asset sales or  fundamental changes or the designation of any restricted subsidiaries or unrestricted subsidiaries  in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, at the Lead Borrower’s option, the relevant  ratios and baskets shall be determined, and any default or event of default blocker shall be tested,  as of the date the definitive acquisition agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are  entered into and, subject to the second proviso contained in this clause (ii), calculated as if the  acquisition and other pro forma events in connection therewith were consummated on such date;  provided that if the Lead Borrower has made such an election, in connection with the calculation  of any ratio or basket with respect to the incurrence of any debt or liens, or the making of any  investments, restricted payments, prepayments of subordinated, junior or unsecured debt, asset  sales, fundamental changes or the designation of a restricted subsidiary or unrestricted subsidiary r  following such election and prior to the earlier of the date on which such acquisition is  consummated or the definitive agreement for such acquisition is terminated, any such ratio shall,  subject to the proviso below, be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such acquisition and  other pro forma events in connection therewith (including any incurrence of indebtedness) have  been consummated; provided that the consolidated net income (and any other financial defined  term derived therefrom) shall not include any consolidated net income of or attributable to the  target company or assets associated with any such Limited Condition Acquisition unless and until  the closing of such Limited Condition Acquisition shall have actually occurred.  (j) This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provision in Section 2.18 or 9.02 to the contrary.  Section 2.23 Extensions of Loans and Revolving Commitments.  (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more  offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Lead Borrower to all Lenders holding Loans of  any Class with a like Maturity Date and in the same currency or commitments with a like Maturity Date, in each  case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans in the same  currency with a like Maturity Date or commitments with a like Maturity Date) and on the same terms to each such  Lender, the Lead Borrower is hereby permitted from time to time to consummate transactions with any individual  Lender who accepts the terms contained in any such Extension Offer to extend the Maturity Date of such Lender’s  Loans and/or commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans and/or commitments pursuant to the  terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such  Loans and/or commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such  Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Loans or commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended,  as well as the original Loans and the original commitments (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any  Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Loans from the tranche of Loans from which they were  converted and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of revolving  commitments from the tranche of revolving commitments from which they were converted), so long as the  following terms are satisfied:  (i) except as to (x) interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms and final maturity  (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clause (iii)(y), be determined by the Lead  Borrower and any Lender who agrees to an Extension and set forth in the relevant Extension  Offer) and (y) any covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest  Revolving Loan Maturity Date (in each case, as of the date of such Extension), the commitment of  any Revolving Lender that agrees to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit  Commitment”; and the Loans thereunder, “Extended Revolving Loans”), and the related  outstandings, shall be a revolving commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with  the same terms (or terms not less favorable to existing Revolving Lenders) as the original

  -115-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no  shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans or any other  Extended Term Loans extended thereby;  (v) any Extended Term Loans (x) may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than  pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments  (but, for purposes of clarity, not scheduled amortization payments) in respect of the Initial Term  Loans (and any Additional Term Loans then subject to ratable repayment requirements) and (y)  may participate on a pro rata basis, less than pro rata basis or greater than a pro rata basis in any  voluntary repayments or prepayments in respect of the Initial Term Loans, in each case as  specified in the respective Extension Offer;  (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans or commitments, as the case may be, in  respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer exceeds the maximum  aggregate principal amount of Loans or commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended  by the Lead Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans or commitments, as the  case may be, of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the  respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which  such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer;  (vii) each Extension shall be in a minimum amount of the Dollar Equivalent of  $20,000,000;  (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied or waived by the  Lead Borrower; and  (ix) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the  foregoing.  (b) With respect to any Extension consummated pursuant to this Section 2.23, (i) no such  Extension shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.11, (ii) the scheduled  amortization payments (in so far as such schedule affects payments due to Lenders participating in the relevant  Class) set forth in Section 2.10 shall be adjusted to give effect to such Extension of the relevant Class and  (iii) except as set forth in clause (a)(vii) above, no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any  minimum increment; provided that the Lead Borrower may, at its election, specify as a condition (a “Minimum  Extension Condition”) to consummating such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in  the relevant Extension Offer in the Lead Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Lead  Borrower) of Loans or commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered.  The  Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.23  (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any tranche of  Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the  relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including  Section 2.10, 2.11 or 2.18) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Extension or any other  transaction contemplated by this Section 2.23.  (c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any  Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its  Loans and/or commitments under any Class (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Initial  Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Bank to the extent the commitment to provide Letters  of Credit is to be extended.  All Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all  obligations in respect thereof shall constitute Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan  Documents that are secured by the Collateral and guaranteed on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Secured  Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the  Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the  Lead Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Loans or  

 

  -116-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable  opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new  tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.23.  (d) In connection with any Extension, the Lead Borrower shall provide the Administrative  Agent at least ten Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior  written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other  adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such  Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting  reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.23.  Section 2.24 Lead Borrower as Borrower Representative.  Each Borrower (other than the Lead  Borrower) hereby designates the Lead Borrower as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan  Documents, including designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery  of financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other  accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all  other dealings with the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  The Lead Borrower hereby accepts such appointment.   The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon,  any notice or communication delivered by the Lead Borrower on behalf of any Borrower.  The Administrative  Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Lead Borrower on  behalf of such Borrower.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to  deal exclusively with the Lead Borrower for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower agrees  that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the Lead  Borrower shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.  Section 2.25 Currency Equivalents.  (a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of each Revolving Loan  denominated in an Agreed Currency, each LC Obligation in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Agreed  Currency and each Ancillary Commitment denominated in an Agreed Currency (i) as of the first day of each Interest  Period applicable to a Revolving Loan or on the date of such initial extension in respect of an LC Obligation and  (ii) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Lead Borrower, and shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the  Lenders of each Dollar Equivalent so determined by it.  Each such determination shall be based on the Exchange  Rate (x) on the date of the related Borrowing Request for the purposes of the initial such determination for any  Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit (y) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date as of which such Dollar  Equivalent is to be determined, for purposes of any subsequent determination in respect of a Revolving Loan or  Letter of Credit and (z) in respect of any Ancillary Commitment, on the fourth Business Day prior to the relevant  Ancillary Commencement Date or, if later, the date on which the Administrative Agent received the notice of such  Ancillary Commitment pursuant to Section 2.26(a)(ii).  (b) If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Equivalent, the Total  Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the sum of the (i) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments  then in effect plus (ii) the aggregate amount of Ancillary Commitments then in effect by 5.0% or more, the  Borrower shall prepay on such date of determination the applicable outstanding Dollar Equivalent of the Revolving  Loans denominated in Agreed Currencies or take other action as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may  direct (including Cash collateralization of the applicable LC Obligations and/or Ancillary Outstandings (without  duplication of any requirements under the applicable Ancillary Facility) in amounts from time to time equal to such  excess) to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess.  Section 2.26 Ancillary Facilities.  (a) Availability of Ancillary Facilities.  (i) Any Multicurrency Revolving Lender may, upon the agreement of any Revolving  Facility Borrower and such Revolving Lender, provide, directly or indirectly through one or more

(ii) No Revolving Facility Borrower may implement any Ancillary Facility unless, not  less than five Business Days prior to the Ancillary Commencement Date with respect thereto, the  Administrative Agent has received written notice from such Revolving Facility Borrower that  such Ancillary Facility has been established and specifying:  (1) the Ancillary Commencement Date for such Ancillary Facility  and the scheduled expiration date thereof;  (2) the type of such Ancillary Facility;  (3) the Ancillary Commitment (including the maximum amount  of such Ancillary Facility) and, if such Ancillary Facility is Multi-account Overdraft its  Designated Gross Amount and “Designated Net Amount”;  (4) the proposed currency or currencies of such Ancillary Facility  (if not denominated in U.S. Dollars); and  (5) the identity of the relevant Ancillary Lender(s) (including  whether such Ancillary Lender is a Multicurrency Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a  Multicurrency Revolving Lender).  (iii) The applicable Revolving Facility Borrower (or the Lead Borrower on its behalf)  shall provide such other customary information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably  request in connection with any Ancillary Facility.  (iv) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Multicurrency Revolving  Lender proposing to provide such Ancillary Facility and the other Lenders of the establishment of  any Ancillary Facility and, subject to the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in  Section 2.26(b) below, (A) the relevant Multicurrency Revolving Lender will constitute an  Ancillary Lender and (B) such Ancillary Facility will be deemed to be made available hereunder,  in each case as of the Ancillary Commencement Date.  (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document  (including Section 9.02 hereof), no amendment or waiver of any term of any Ancillary Facility  shall require the consent of any Lender other than the relevant Ancillary Lender except to the  extent that such amendment or waiver otherwise gives rise to a matter that would require an  amendment of or waiver under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under this  Section 2.26), in which case the provisions of Section 9.02 shall apply thereto.  (b) Terms of Ancillary Facilities.  (i) Except as provided below in this Section 2.26, the  terms of any Ancillary Facility will be agreed by the relevant Ancillary Lender and the relevant Revolving Facility  Borrower; provided that such terms (A) may only allow the relevant Revolving Facility Borrower or an Affiliate  Ancillary Borrower identified by such Revolving Facility Borrower to use the Ancillary Facility, (B) may not permit  the amount of Ancillary Outstandings to exceed the Available Ancillary Commitment with respect to such Ancillary  Facility, (C) may not allow the Ancillary Commitment of any Ancillary Lender to exceed the Unused Multicurrency  Revolving Credit Commitment of such Ancillary Lender (before taking into account the effect of such Ancillary  Facility on such Unused Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment), (D) shall require that the Ancillary  Commitment in respect of such Ancillary Facility will be reduced to zero, and that all Ancillary Outstandings will be  

 

  -118-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   repaid (or Cash collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory  to the relevant Ancillary Lender, in each case, in an amount equal to 100% of such Ancillary Outstandings) on or  prior to the applicable Maturity Date for such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s tranche of Multicurrency  Revolving Credit Commitments (or such date as the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment of the relevant  Ancillary Lender (or its Affiliates) is reduced to zero) and (E) shall otherwise be based upon normal commercial  terms as determined by the board of the relevant Revolving Facility Borrower (or of the Lead Borrower) and such  Ancillary Lender, at the time such Ancillary Facility is entered into (except as varied by this Agreement).  (ii) If there is an inconsistency between any term of any Ancillary Facility and any  term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail, except for (A) those terms relating to the  calculation of fees, interest, or commission relating to any Ancillary Facility, (B) any Ancillary  Facility comprising more than one account, where the terms of the relevant Ancillary Documents  shall prevail to the extent required to permit the netting of balances in respect of the relevant  accounts and (C) where the relevant term of this Agreement would be contrary to, or inconsistent  with, the law governing the relevant Ancillary Document, in which case the relevant term of this  Agreement shall be superseded by the terms of the relevant Ancillary Document to the extent  necessary to eliminate the subject conflict or inconsistency; provided, however, that  notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) no Ancillary Document shall contain any  representation or warranty, covenant or event of default that is not set forth in this Agreement (and  any such representation or warranty, covenant or event of default not set forth in this Agreement  shall be rendered null and void) and (y) all representations and warranties, covenants, events of  default, indemnification and similar obligations set forth in any Ancillary Document shall contain  standards, qualifications, thresholds and exceptions for materiality or otherwise consistent with  those set forth in this Agreement (and, to the extent inconsistent therewith, the relevant Ancillary  Documents shall be deemed to automatically incorporate the applicable standards, qualifications,  thresholds and exceptions set forth herein without action by any Person).  (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any other Loan Document or  in any Ancillary Document, no breach of any representation, warranty, undertaking or other term  of (or default or event of default under) any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to constitute, or  result in, a breach of any representation, warranty, undertaking or other term of, or Default or  Event of Default under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  (c) Repayment of Ancillary Facilities.  (i) Each Ancillary Commitment shall terminate on the applicable Maturity Date for  such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s tranche of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments  or such earlier date on which its expiry date occurs or in which it is cancelled, in each case, in  accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  (ii) Upon the expiration of any Ancillary Facility in accordance with its terms, the  Ancillary Commitment of the relevant Ancillary Lender shall be reduced to zero (and the Unused  Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment of such Ancillary Lender shall be increased  accordingly).  Upon the making of one or more Multicurrency Revolving Loans as provided below  in an amount sufficient to repay the Ancillary Outstandings under any Ancillary Facility, such  Ancillary Facility shall be cancelled upon receipt by the relevant Ancillary Lender of the proceeds  thereof.  (iii) No Ancillary Lender may demand repayment, prepayment or Cash  collateralization of any amounts made available or liabilities incurred by it under any Ancillary  Facility (except where the relevant Ancillary Facility is provided on a net limit basis to the extent  required to reduce any gross outstandings to the net limit) unless (A) the applicable Maturity Date  for such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s tranche of Multicurrency Revolving Credit  Commitments has occurred, (B) the Multicurrency Revolving Loans have been declared  immediately due and payable and all Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments terminated in  

 

  -119-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   accordance with Section 7.01, (C) the expiration date of the relevant Ancillary Facility occurs,  (D) it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for the relevant Ancillary Lender to perform  its obligations under this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain its participation in the relevant  Ancillary Facility or (E) the Ancillary Outstandings (if any) under the relevant Ancillary Facility  may be refinanced in an equivalent amount by a Multicurrency Revolving Loan and the relevant  Ancillary Lender provides sufficient notice to permit the refinancing of such Ancillary  Outstandings with a Multicurrency Revolving Loan.  (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for the purposes of determining  whether or not the Ancillary Outstandings under any Ancillary Facility referenced in  clause (c)(iii)(E) above may be refinanced by a Multicurrency Revolving Loan, (A) the  Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment of the relevant Ancillary Lender will be increased  by the amount of its Ancillary Commitment in respect of such Ancillary Facility and (B) unless  the circumstances described in clauses (c)(iii)(A) or (B) then exist, each Multicurrency Revolving  Lender shall be obligated to make a Multicurrency Revolving Loan to the applicable Revolving  Facility Borrower for the purpose of refinancing the relevant Ancillary Outstandings on a pro rata  basis in accordance with its Multicurrency Revolving Applicable Percentage whether or not a  Default or Event of Default exists or any other applicable condition precedent is not satisfied and  irrespective of whether any Borrower has delivered a Borrowing Request.  (v) With respect to any Ancillary Facility that comprises an overdraft facility in which  a Designated Net Amount has been established, for the purposes of calculating compliance with  the Designated Net Amount, the Ancillary Lender providing such Ancillary Facility shall only be  obligated to take into account the credit balances which it is permitted to take into account by then  applicable law and regulations relating to its reporting of exposures to applicable regulatory  authorities as netted for capital adequacy purposes.  (d) Ancillary Outstandings.  The applicable Revolving Facility Borrower and each Ancillary  Lender agree with and for the benefit of each Multicurrency Revolving Lender that (i) the Ancillary Outstandings  under any Ancillary Facility provided by such Ancillary Lender shall not exceed the Ancillary Commitment  applicable to such Ancillary Facility and (ii) in relation to a Multi-account Overdraft, (x) the Ancillary Outstandings  under such Ancillary Facility shall not exceed the Designated Net Amount in respect of such Multi-account  Overdraft and (y) the Gross Outstandings shall not exceed the Designated Gross Amount applicable to such  Multi-account Overdraft.  (e) Adjustment for Ancillary Facilities upon Acceleration.  (i) If a notice is served under Section 7.01 (other than a notice declaring all  Obligations to be due and payable), each Multicurrency Revolving Lender (including each  Ancillary Lender) shall promptly adjust (by making or receiving (as the case may be)  corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Loan Documents relating to  Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure) their claims in respect of amounts outstanding to them  under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility and each Ancillary Facility to the extent necessary to  ensure that after such transfers, the Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings of each Multicurrency  Revolving Lender bear the same proportion to the Total Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings as  such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Applicable Percentage, each as  at the date the notice is served under Section 7.01.  (ii) If an amount outstanding under an Ancillary Facility is a contingent liability and  that contingent liability becomes an actual liability or is reduced to zero after the original  adjustment is made under paragraph (i) above, then each Multicurrency Revolving Lender  (including each Ancillary Lender) will make a further adjustment (by making or receiving (as the  case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Loan Documents relating  to Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings to the extent necessary) to put themselves in the position

(iii) Any transfer of rights and obligations relating to Multicurrency Revolving  Outstandings made pursuant to this Section 2.26(e) shall be made for a purchase price in Cash,  payable at the time of transfer in the applicable currency of such Multicurrency Revolving  Outstanding, in an amount equal to such Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings.  (iv) All calculations to be made pursuant to this Section 2.26(e) shall be made by the  Administrative Agent based upon information provided to it by the Multicurrency Revolving  Lenders (including Ancillary Lenders) and the Exchange Rate.  (f) Pro Rata Adjustments of Participations in Revolving Letters of Credit upon  Establishment or Termination of Ancillary Facilities.  (i) Upon the implementation, increase, reduction, cancellation or termination of any  Ancillary Facility pursuant to this Section 2.26:  (A) the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders (including the Multicurrency  Revolving Lender providing, reducing, canceling or terminating such Ancillary Facility)  shall assign Multicurrency Revolving Loans to certain other Multicurrency Revolving  Lenders, and such other Multicurrency Revolving Lenders (and the Multicurrency  Revolving Lender providing, reducing, canceling or terminating such Ancillary Facility)  shall purchase such Multicurrency Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary  so that all of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders participate in each outstanding  Borrowing of Multicurrency Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective  Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to any increase or  decrease in the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.26);  it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro  rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the  transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence; and  (B) each Multicurrency Revolving Lender (including the Multicurrency  Revolving Lender providing, reducing, canceling or terminating such Ancillary Facility)  will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each other  Multicurrency Revolving Lender and each other Multicurrency Revolving Lender  (including the Multicurrency Revolving Lender providing, reducing, canceling or  terminating such Ancillary Facility) will automatically and without further act be deemed  to have assumed a portion of such Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s participations  hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each deemed  assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Multicurrency Revolving  Lenders’ participations hereunder in Letters of Credit shall be held on a pro rata basis on  the basis of their respective Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving  effect to any increase or decrease in the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments  pursuant to Section 2.26).  (g) Information.  The applicable Revolving Facility Borrower and each Ancillary Lender  shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent with any  information relating to the operation of such Ancillary Facility (including the amount of Ancillary Outstandings) as  the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request (which information shall be subject to  compliance with Section 9.13).

Each such  policy of insurance covering any Collateral shall (i) name the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders as an  additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and (ii) to the extent available from the relevant insurance  carrier, in the case of each casualty insurance policy (excluding any business interruption insurance policy), contain  a loss payable clause or endorsement that names the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders as the loss  payee thereunder and, to the extent available, provide for at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative  Agent of any modification or cancellation of such policy (or 10 days’ prior written notice in the case of the failure to  pay any premiums thereunder).

If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation  (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any immediate repayment of Indebtedness in connection  therewith), the requirements of Section 6.15(a) would be satisfied, then the requirements of Section 6.15(a) shall be  deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure  to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 6.15(a) that had occurred (or would  have occurred) shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the  contrary, (i) in each four consecutive Fiscal Quarter period there shall be at least two Fiscal Quarters (which may,  but are not required to be, consecutive) in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) during the term of this  Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times, (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater  than the amount required for the purpose of complying with Section 6.15(a), (iv) upon the Administrative Agent’s  receipt of a written notice from the Lead Borrower that the Lead Borrower intends to exercise the Cure Right (a  “Notice of Intent to Cure”), until the 10th Business Day following the date on which financial statements for the  Fiscal Quarter to which such Notice of Intent to Cure relates are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a)  or (b), as applicable, neither the Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor) nor any Lender shall exercise  any right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or any Additional Commitments,  and none of the Administrative Agent (nor any sub-agent therefor) nor any Lender or Secured Party shall exercise  any right to foreclose on or take possession of the Collateral or any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents  solely on the basis of the relevant Event of Default under Section 6.15(a), (v) during any Test Period in which any  Cure Amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as a result of any exercise of the  Cure Right, such Cure Amount shall be (A) counted solely as an increase to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (and  not as a reduction of Indebtedness) for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 6.15(a) and  (B) disregarded for all other purposes, including the purpose of determining whether any financial ratio-based  condition has been satisfied, the Applicable Rate or the Commitment Fee Rate or the availability of any carve-out  set forth in Article 6 of this Agreement and (vi) no Revolving Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any  Revolving Loan or issue any Letter of Credit from and after such time as the Administrative Agent has received the  Notice of Intent to Cure unless and until the Cure Amount is actually received.

ARTICLE 8    THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT  Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints RBC (or any successor  appointed pursuant hereto) as Administrative Agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on  its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the  Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably  incidental thereto.  Any Person serving as 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, unless the context otherwise  requires or unless such Person is in fact not a Lender, include each Person serving as Administrative Agent  hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, 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 of any Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent  hereunder.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates  may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject  to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative  Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth  in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be  subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default exists, and the  use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not  intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any  

 

  -168-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   applicable law; it being understood that such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to  create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties, (b) the Administrative  Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary power, except  discretionary rights and powers that are expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents and which the  Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders or Required Revolving  Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the relevant circumstances  as provided in Section 9.02); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in  its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any  Loan Document or applicable laws, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative  Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating  to the Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving  as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the  Lenders or any other Secured Party for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the  Required Lenders or Required Revolving 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 relevant  circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as  determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set  forth herein.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default  unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers or any Lender, and the  Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,  warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,  report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or  observance of any covenant, agreement or other term or condition set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence  of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan  Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien on the  Collateral or the existence, value or sufficiency of the Collateral, (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in  Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be  delivered to the Administrative Agent or (vii) any property, book or record of any Loan Party or any Affiliate  thereof.  If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the  Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing.  Each Lender agrees that, except with the written  consent of the Administrative Agent, it will not take any enforcement action hereunder or under any other Loan  Document, accelerate the Obligations under any Loan Document, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have  under applicable law or otherwise to credit bid at any foreclosure sale, UCC sale, any sale under Section 363 of the  Bankruptcy Code or other similar Dispositions of Collateral.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender  may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is  applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of the Obligations held by such Lender, including the  filing of a proof of claim in a case under the Bankruptcy Code.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents,  the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right  individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Loan Guaranty; it being understood and agreed  that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of  the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the other Loan  Documents may be exercised solely by, the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the  Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or in the event of any other  Disposition (including pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code), (A) the Administrative Agent, as agent for  and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or  payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of  the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent  at such Disposition and (B) the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of  such Collateral at any such Disposition.  

 

  -169-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   No holder of any Secured Hedging Obligation, Banking Services Obligation or Ancillary  Obligation in its respective capacity as such shall have any rights in connection with the management or release of  any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Hedge Agreement with  respect to any Secured Hedging Obligation, by entering into documentation in connection with any Banking  Services Obligation and/or by entering into any Ancillary Documents in connection with any Ancillary Obligation,  each of the other Secured Parties hereby authorizes and shall be deemed to authorize) the Administrative Agent, on  behalf of all Secured Parties to take any of the following actions upon the instruction of the Required Lenders:  (a) consent to the Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral free and clear of the  Liens securing the Secured Obligations in connection with any Disposition pursuant to the applicable provisions of  the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof;  (b) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of  the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any  Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,  including under Section 363 thereof;  (c) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of  the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any  Disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the UCC, including  pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC;  (d) credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of  the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any  foreclosure or other Disposition conducted in accordance with applicable law following the occurrence of an Event  of Default, including by power of sale, judicial action or otherwise; and/or  (e) estimate the amount of any contingent or unliquidated Secured Obligations of such  Lender or other Secured Party;  it being understood that no Lender shall be required to fund any amount in connection with any purchase of all or  any portion of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing clause (b), (c) or (d) without its  prior written consent.  Each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to credit bid any  part of the Secured Obligations or to purchase or retain or acquire any portion of the Collateral; provided that, in  connection with any credit bid or purchase described under clause (b), (c) or (d) of the preceding paragraph, the  Secured Obligations owed to all of the Secured Parties (other than with respect to contingent or unliquidated  liabilities as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph) may be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent  on a ratable basis.  With respect to each contingent or unliquidated claim that is a Secured Obligation, the  Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, but is not required, to estimate the amount thereof for purposes of any  credit bid or purchase described in the second preceding paragraph so long as the estimation of the amount or  liquidation of such claim would not unduly delay the ability of the Administrative Agent to credit bid the Secured  Obligations or purchase the Collateral in the relevant Disposition.  In the event that the Administrative Agent, in its  sole and absolute discretion, elects not to estimate any such contingent or unliquidated claim or any such claim  cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of the Administrative Agent to consummate any credit bid  or purchase in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, then any contingent or unliquidated claims not so  estimated shall be disregarded, shall not be credit bid, and shall not be entitled to any interest in the portion or the  entirety of the Collateral purchased by means of such credit bid.  

 

  -170-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Each Secured Party whose Secured Obligations are credit bid under clause (b), (c) or (d) of the  third preceding paragraph shall be entitled to receive interests in the Collateral or any other asset acquired in  connection with such credit bid (or in the Capital Stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to  consummate such acquisition) on a ratable basis in accordance with the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the  amount of the Secured Obligations of such Secured Party that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition,  by (y) the aggregate amount of all Secured Obligations that were credit bid in such credit bid or other Disposition.  In addition, in case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other  judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent (irrespective  of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure is then 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 Borrowers)  shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:  (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing  and unpaid in respect of the Loans or LC Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and  unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the  claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for  the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing  Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts  to the extent due to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03)  allowed in such judicial proceeding; and  (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any  such claims and to distribute the same.  Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any  such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the  Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments  directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable  compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and  any other amount due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.03.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or  consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement,  adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any Issuing Bank or to authorize  the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for  relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including  any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to  have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely  upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and  shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the  making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a  Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to  such Lender unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank  prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult  with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Lead Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected  by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such  counsel, accountants or experts.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers  by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may  perform any and all of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective  Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related  

 

  -171-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Parties of the Administrative 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 the Administrative  Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving ten days’ written notice to the  Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers.  If the Administrative Agent becomes subject to an insolvency  proceeding, either the Required Lenders or the Lead Borrower may, upon ten days’ notice, remove the  Administrative Agent.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or delivery of any such notice of removal, the  Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Lead Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or  delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or trust company with  offices in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of $1,000,000,000; provided that during the  existence and continuation of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or, with respect to Holdings or the Lead  Borrower, Section 7.01(f) or (g), no consent of the Lead Borrower shall be required.  If no successor shall have been  appointed as provided above and accepted such appointment within ten days after the retiring Administrative Agent  gives notice of its resignation or the Administrative Agent receives notice of removal, then (a) in the case of a  retirement, the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the  Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including, for  the avoidance of doubt, consent of the Lead Borrower) or (b) in the case of a removal, the Lead Borrower may, after  consulting with the Required Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth  above; provided that (x) in the case of a retirement, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower, the  Lenders and the Issuing Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or (y) in the case of a  removal, the Lead Borrower notifies the Required Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment,  then, in each case, such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with and on  the 30th day following delivery of such notice and (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be  discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of  any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for  perfection purposes, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time  as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations  required to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each  Issuing Bank directly (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank will cooperate with the Borrowers to enable the  Borrowers to take such actions), until such time as the Required Lenders or the Lead Borrower, as applicable,  appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as provided for above in this Article 8.  Upon the acceptance of its  appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder as a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative  Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or  removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative  Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations  hereunder (other than its obligations under Section 9.13).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor  Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the  Borrowers and such successor Administrative Agent.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal  hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or  removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any action taken or  omitted to be taken by any of them while the relevant Person was acting as Administrative Agent (including for this  purpose holding any collateral security following the retirement or removal of the Administrative Agent).   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Institution (nor any Affiliate thereof) may be  appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.  Each of each Lender, each Ancillary Lender and each Issuing Bank 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 of each Lender, each Ancillary Lender and each Issuing Bank also  acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or  any of their respective 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 Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Arrangers shall not have any right, power,  obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, except in their respective capacities as the  Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender hereunder, as applicable.  Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to, and the  Administrative Agent shall,  (a) release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent  under any Loan Document (i) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, (ii) that is sold or to  be sold or transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted under the Loan  Documents to a Person that is not a Loan Party, (iii) that does not constitute (or ceases to  constitute) Collateral, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor,  upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Loan Guaranty otherwise in accordance  with the Loan Documents, (v) as required under clause (d) below or (vi) if approved, authorized or  ratified in writing by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9.02;  (b) subject to Section 9.22, release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations  under the Loan Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an  Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions permitted  hereunder; provided that the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the  Loan Guaranty if such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of the type  described in clause (a) of the definition thereof shall only be permitted if at the time such  Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of such type (1) no Event of Default exists, (2) after  giving pro forma effect to such release and the consummation of the transaction that causes such  Person to be an Excluded Subsidiary of such type, the Lead Borrower is deemed to have made a  new Investment in such Person for purposes of Section 6.06 (as if such Person were then newly  acquired) in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such  Person attributable to the Lead Borrower’s equity interest therein as reasonably estimated by the  Lead Borrower and such Investment is permitted pursuant to Section 6.06 (other than  Section 6.06(f)) at such time, (3) such Person does not own Trademarks in an aggregate principal  amount in excess of $250,000,000 minus the amount of any Trademarks Invested or Disposed in  reliance on clause (b)(ii) of the last paragraph of Section 6.06 or clause (b)(ii) of the last paragraph  of Section 6.07 and (4) a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower certifies to the Administrative  Agent compliance with preceding clauses (1), (2) and (3));  (c) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative  Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by  Sections 6.02(d), 6.02(e), 6.02(g), 6.02(m), 6.02(n), 6.02(o) (other than any Lien on the Capital  Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor), 6.02(q), 6.02(r), 6.02(x), 6.02(y), 6.02(z)(i), 6.02(bb),  6.02(cc), 6.02(ee), 6.02(ff) and 6.02(ll) (and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any  thereof to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness is permitted to be secured under  Section 6.02(k)); provided that the subordination of any Lien on any property granted to or held by  the Administrative Agent shall only be required to the extent that the Lien of the Administrative  Agent with respect to such property is required to be subordinated to the relevant Permitted Lien  in accordance with applicable law or the documentation governing the Indebtedness that is secured  by such Permitted Lien; and  (d) enter into subordination, intercreditor and/or similar agreements with respect to  Indebtedness that is (i) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder and/or (ii) secured by

In each case as specified in this Article 8, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender, and  Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Lead Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver  to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of  such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to  subordinate its interest therein, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty, in each  case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Article 8; provided that upon the request of the  Administrative Agent, the Lead Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the  relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in  exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor  shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to  enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or  power.

(iii) Subject to the acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of  this Section 9.05, from and after the effective date specified in any Assignment and Assumption,  the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned  pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under  this Agreement (including with respect to any Ancillary Facility), 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 (A) entitled to the benefits of  Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to  the effective date of such assignment and (B) subject to its obligations thereunder and under  Section 9.13).  If any assignment by any Lender holding any Promissory Note is made after the  issuance of such Promissory Note, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such  assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender such Promissory Note to the  Administrative Agent for cancellation, and, following such cancellation, if requested by either the  assignee or the assigning Lender, the Lead Borrower shall issue and deliver a new Promissory  Note to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the  new commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.  (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the  Lead Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption  delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and  their respective successors and assigns, and the commitment of, and principal amount of and  interest on the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to  the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  Failure to make any such recordation, or any  error in such recordation, shall not affect the Lead Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans  and LC Disbursements.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and  the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each  Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder  for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be  available for inspection by the Lead Borrower, each Issuing Bank and each Lender (but only as to  its own holdings), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an  assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the Eligible Assignee’s completed Administrative  Questionnaire and any tax certification required by Section 9.05(b)(ii)(D)(2) (unless the assignee  is already a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of  

 

  -185-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   this Section 9.05, if applicable, and any written consent to the relevant assignment required by  paragraph (b) of this Section 9.05, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such  Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No  assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the  Register as provided in this paragraph.  (vi) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning  Lender and the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm and agree with each other  and the other parties hereto as follows:  (A) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and  beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that  the amount of its commitments, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without  giving effect to any assignment thereof which has not become effective, are as set forth in such  Assignment and Assumption, (B) except as set forth in clause (A) above, such assigning Lender  makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statement,  warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution,  legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other  Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial  condition of the Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance or observance by  the Lead Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement,  any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;  (C) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to  enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (D) such assignee confirms that it has received a  copy of this Agreement together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered  pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate  to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption;  (E) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the  assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it deems  appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action  under this Agreement; (F) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take  such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are  delegated to the Administrative Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are  reasonably incidental thereto; and (G) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with  their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed  by it as a Lender.  (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Lead Borrower, the Administrative  Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender, sell participations to any bank or other entity (other than to any  Disqualified Institution, any natural Person or, the Lead Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or  a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its  commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall  remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of  such obligations and (C) the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders  shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations  under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any 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 relevant Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or  waiver described in (x) clause (A) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects the Loans  or commitments in which such Participant has an interest and (y) clause (B)(1), (2) or (3) of the first proviso to  Section 9.02(b).  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.05, the Lead Borrower agrees that each Participant  shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had  acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.05 (it being understood that the  documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender, and if additional  amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.17(a) or Section 2.17(c), to the Lead Borrower upon  reasonable written request by the Lead Borrower).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be  

 

  -186-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject  to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.  (ii) No Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15,  2.16 or 2.17 than the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the  participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is  made with the Lead Borrower’s prior written consent expressly acknowledging that such  Participant’s entitlement to benefits under Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 is not limited to what the  participating Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent  of the Lead Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and their  respective successors and assigns, and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s interest in the  Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall  have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant  or any information relating to any Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or any other  obligation under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to  establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under  Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent  manifest error, and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the  owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the  avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility  for maintaining a Participant Register.  (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its  rights under this Agreement (other than to any Disqualified Institution or any natural person) to secure obligations of  such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve  Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 9.05 shall not apply to any such  pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall  release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender  as a party hereto.  (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting  Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time  by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, the option to provide to the Lead  Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Lead  Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to  make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of  such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of  any Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment or Additional Commitment of the Granting Lender to  the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that  (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or  otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Lead Borrower or the Borrowers (if applicable) under this  Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater  amount under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that  the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar  payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the  Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any  provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each  party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date  that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior  indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any  bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the U.S. or any  State thereof; provided that (i) such SPC’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its  obligations to the Lead Borrower or the Borrowers (if applicable) hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating any  

 

  -187-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or  expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance.   In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.05, any SPC may (i) with notice to,  but without the prior written consent of, the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any  processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on  a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer  or provider of any surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.  (f) (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified  Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell  and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Lead  Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person  will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation).  For the  avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade  Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred  to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from  becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such  assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution.  Any  assignment in violation of this clause (h)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (h) shall apply.  (ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without  the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a  Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Lead Borrower may, at its sole  expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution or and the Administrative  Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and  repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with  such Revolving Credit Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by  Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such Term Loan by paying the lowest of (x) the  principal amount thereof, (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such  Term Loans, and (z) the market price of such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest,  accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or  (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and  subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.05), all of its interest, rights and obligations  under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lowest of (x) the principal amount  thereof, (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and  obligations and (z) the market price of such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest,  accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.  (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,  Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other  materials provided to Lenders by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other  Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative  Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications  from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for  purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and  for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action  (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each  Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders  that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on  any plan, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such plan,  (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such plan notwithstanding the restriction in the  foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated”  pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor  Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has  accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any  

 

  -188-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party  for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction)  effectuating the foregoing clause (2).  (iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Lead Borrower hereby  expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions  provided by the Lead Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ  List”) on Intralinks, SyndTrak or another relevant website, if any, including that portion of  Intralinks, SyndTrak or another relevant website, if any, that is designated for “public side”  Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.  (v) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or  have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof  relating to Disqualified Institutions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the  Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any  Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have  any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or  disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.  (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time,  assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to an Affiliated  Lender on a non-pro rata basis (A) through Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders holding the relevant Initial Term  Loans or such Additional Term Loans, as applicable, on a pro rata basis or (B) through any purchase through an  assignment (including in the open market or on a privately negotiated basis), in each case with respect to clauses (A)  and (B), without the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided that:  (i) any Term Loans acquired by Super Holdco, Holdings, the Lead Borrower or any  of their respective subsidiaries shall be if applicable, contributed to the Lead Borrower or its  subsidiaries, and retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; provided that  upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the  Term Loans, as applicable, shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate  principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled, and each principal repayment  installment with respect to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be reduced in direct  order of maturity by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so  cancelled;  (ii) [reserved];  (iii) the relevant Affiliated Lender and assigning Lender shall have executed an  Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption;  (iv) [reserved];  (v) in connection with any assignment effected pursuant to a Dutch Auction and/or  purchase conducted by Holdings, the Lead Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (A) the  relevant Person may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans or Additional Revolving Loans  to fund such assignment and (B) no Event of Default exists at the time of acceptance of bids for  the Dutch Auction or the confirmation of such purchase, as applicable; and  (vi) by its acquisition of Term Loans, each relevant Affiliated Lender shall be deemed  to have acknowledged and agreed that such Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as an  Affiliated Lender, will not be entitled to (i) attend (including by telephone) or participate in any  meeting or discussion (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender or  among Lenders to which the Loan Parties or their representatives are not invited or (ii) receive any  information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any  

 

  -189-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the  extent such information or materials have been made available by the Administrative Agent or any  Lender to any Loan Party or its representatives; and  (vii) the Affiliated Lender shall either (i) make a customary representation to the seller  at the time of the assignment that it does not possess material non-public information (or, if  Holdings or the Lead Borrower is not at the time a public-reporting company, material information  of a type that would not be reasonably expected to be publicly available if the Lead Borrower were  a public reporting company) with respect to Holdings, the Lead Borrower and/or any subsidiary  thereof and/or their respective securities that has not been disclosed to the seller or the Lenders  generally (other than Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) in connection with  any assignment permitted by this Section 9.05(g) or (ii) the related assignment agreement shall  contain a customary “big boy” representation (but no requirement to make a representation as to  the absence of any material non-public information).  Section 9.06 Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan  Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant  to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties  hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and  issuance of any Letter of Credit regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and  notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of  Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in  full force and effect until the Termination Date.  The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 9.03 and 9.13 and  Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions  contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the  Revolving Credit Commitment or any Additional Commitment, the occurrence of the Termination Date or the  termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof but in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in this  Agreement.  Section 9.07 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in  counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but  all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and  any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire  agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and  understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement shall become effective when it  has been executed by Holdings, the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative  Agent has received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties  hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective  successors and permitted assigns.  Delivery by fax or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a  signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original  executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document and the words “execution,” “execute”,  “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this  Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of  assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the  keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a  manually executed signature or the use of a paper based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and  as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce  Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the  Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, require that any such  documents and signatures executed electronically or delivered by fax or other electronic transmission be confirmed  by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the  effectiveness of any document or signature executed electronically or delivered by fax or other electronic  transmission.   

 

  -190-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Section 9.08 Severability.  To the extent permitted by law, any provision of any Loan Document held  to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of  such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the  remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not  invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Section 9.09 Right of Setoff.  At any time when an Event of Default exists, upon the written consent of  the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, 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 law, to set off and  apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other  obligations (in any currency) at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender or  Affiliate (including by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender,  wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Lead Borrower or any Loan Party against any of and all  the Secured Obligations held by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender or Affiliate,  irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender or Affiliate shall have  made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are  owed to a branch or office of such Lender or Issuing Bank different than the branch or office holding such deposit or  obligation on such Indebtedness.  Any applicable Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall promptly notify the Lead  Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay  in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section 9.09.  The  rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and each Affiliate under this Section 9.09 are in  addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, such Issuing Bank, the  Administrative Agent or such Affiliate may have.

Section 9.13 Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and  each Arranger agrees (and each Lender agrees to cause its SPC, if any) to maintain the confidentiality of the  Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its  Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, managers, employees, independent auditors, or  other experts and advisors, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (collectively, the  “Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and  who are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and are or have been advised of their  obligation to keep the Confidential Information of this type confidential; provided that such Person shall be  responsible for its Affiliates’ and their Representatives’ compliance with this paragraph; provided, further, that  unless the Lead Borrower otherwise consents, no such disclosure shall be made by the Administrative Agent, any  Issuing Bank, any Arranger, any Lender, any Ancillary Lender or any Affiliate or Representative thereof to any  Affiliate or Representative of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Arranger, any Lender or any  Ancillary Lender that (i) is engaged as a principal primarily in private equity, mezzanine financing or venture capital  (other than, in each case, to a limited number of senior employees who are required, in accordance with industry  regulations or the Lender’s internal policies and procedures to act in a supervisory capacity and the Lender’s internal  legal, compliance, risk management, credit or investment committee members and who are informed of the  confidential nature of such information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this  type confidential) or (ii) is a Disqualified Institution, (b) upon the demand or request of any regulatory or  governmental authority (including any self-regulatory body) purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its  Affiliates (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank  accountants or any Governmental Authority or regulatory or self-regulatory authority exercising examination or  regulatory authority, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, (i) inform the Lead Borrower promptly in  advance thereof and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any information so disclosed is accorded  

 

  -192-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   confidential treatment), (c) to the extent compelled by legal process in, or reasonably necessary to, the defense of  such legal, judicial or administrative proceeding, in any legal, judicial or administrative proceeding or otherwise as  required by applicable Requirements of Law (in which case such Person shall (i) to the extent practicable and  permitted by law, inform the Lead Borrower promptly in advance thereof and (ii) use commercially reasonable  efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), (d) to any other party to  this Agreement, (e) subject to an acknowledgment and agreement by the relevant recipient that the Confidential  Information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this paragraph or as  otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the  standard syndication process of the Arrangers or market standards for dissemination of the relevant type of  information, which shall in any event require “click through” or other affirmative action on the part of the recipient  to access the Confidential Information and acknowledge its confidentiality obligations in respect thereof, to (i) any  Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or prospective Participant in, any of  its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including any SPC (in each case other than a Disqualified Institution),  (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.05, (iii) any actual or prospective, direct or indirect contractual counterparty  (or its advisors) to any Derivative Transaction (including any credit default swap) or similar derivative product to  which any Loan Party is a party and (iv) subject to the Lead Borrower’s prior approval of the information to be  disclosed (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to Moody’s or S&P on a confidential basis in connection  with obtaining or maintaining ratings as required under Section 5.13, (f) with the prior written consent of the Lead  Borrower and (g) to the extent (1) the Confidential Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a  breach of this Section 9.13 by such Person, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives or (2) becomes available  to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates from  a third-party source that is not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to the Lead Borrower and/or any  of its subsidiaries.  For purposes of this Section 9.13, “Confidential Information” means all information relating to  the Borrowers and/or any of their subsidiaries and their respective businesses or the Transactions (including any  information obtained by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, any Ancillary Lender or any  Arranger, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, based on a review of the books and records  relating to the Borrowers and/or any of their subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates from time to time, including  prior to the date hereof) other than any such information that is publicly available to the Administrative Agent or any  Arranger, Issuing Bank, or Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any of their  subsidiaries.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any disclosure of any Confidential Information be made  to Person that is a Disqualified Institution at the time of disclosure.  Section 9.14 No Fiduciary Duty.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each Lender, each  Ancillary Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this  paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their  stockholders and/or their respective affiliates.  Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or  otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty  between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates, on  the other.  Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that:  (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents  (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions  between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with  the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan  Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or  the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any  Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its respective stockholders or its respective  Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the  Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Loan  Party, its respective management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.  Each Loan Party acknowledges and  agrees that such Loan Party has consulted its own legal, tax and financial advisors to the extent it deemed  appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and  the process leading thereto.  Section 9.15 Several Obligations.  The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and  not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan, issue any Letter of Credit or perform any of its obligations  hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.  

 

  -193-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Section 9.16 USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA  PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is  required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the  name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party  in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and a certification regarding beneficial ownership required by 31 C.F.R.  § 1010.230.  Section 9.17 Disclosure.  Each Loan Party, each Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby acknowledges  and agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other  loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.  Section 9.18 Appointment for Perfection.  Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender and each  Issuing Bank as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing  Banks and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be  perfected only by possession.  If any Lender or Issuing Bank (other than the Administrative Agent) obtains  possession of any Collateral, such Lender, Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof; and,  promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent  or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.  Section 9.19 Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time  the interest rate applicable to any Loan or Letter of Credit, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which  are treated as interest on such Loan or Letter of Credit under applicable law (collectively the “Charged Amounts”),  shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken,  received or reserved by the Lender or Issuing Bank holding such Loan or Letter of Credit in accordance with  applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or Letter of Credit hereunder, together with all  Charged Amounts payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the  interest and Charged Amounts that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or Letter of Credit but were not  payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.19 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charged Amounts  payable to such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect of other Loans or Letters of Credit or periods shall be increased  (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the  Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender or Issuing Bank.  Section 9.20 Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is  necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the  rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative  Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final  judgment is given.  The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative  Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a  currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the  applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the  Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment  Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement  Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum  originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as  a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person  to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is  greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to  return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under  applicable Requirements of Law)  Section 9.21 Conflicts.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other  Loan Document, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan  Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary, any  Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder (and its Loan Guaranty shall be  automatically released) (a) upon the consummation of any permitted transaction or series of related transactions if as  a result thereof such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary  as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions permitted hereunder; provided, that the release of  any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty if such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an  Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof shall only be permitted if at the time  such Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of such type (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) after giving pro  forma effect to such release and the consummation of the transaction that causes such Person to be an Excluded  Subsidiary of such type, the Lead Borrower is deemed to have made a new Investment in such Person for purposes  of Section 6.06 (as if such Person were then newly acquired) in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market  value of the net assets of such Person attributable to the Lead Borrower’s equity interest therein as reasonably  estimated by the Lead Borrower and such Investment is permitted pursuant to Section 6.06 (other than  Section 6.06(f)) at such time and (iii) a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower certifies to the Administrative  Agent compliance with preceding clauses (i) and (ii)) and/or (b) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date.  In  connection with any such release, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the relevant Loan  Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence  termination or release; provided that upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Borrower shall deliver  a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance  with the terms of this Agreement.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to the preceding sentence of  this Section 9.22 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent (other than as to the  Administrative Agent’s authority to execute and deliver such documents).  Section 9.23 Reaffirmation.  Except as specifically amended herein, all Loan Documents (including  the Loan Guaranty and each of  the Collateral Documents and all Liens granted thereunder in respect of the Secured  Obligations) shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. As of  the Closing Date, each Loan Party reaffirms its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party and its  prior grant and the validity of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents, with all such Liens  continuing in full force and effect after giving effect to this Agreement and shall secure all Secured Obligations.   Section 9.24 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or  understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial  Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write- down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges  and agrees to be bound by:   (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution  Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected  Financial Institution; and  (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:  (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;  (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments  of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution  that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of  ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this  Agreement or any other Loan Document; or  (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the  write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.  

 

  -195-       #95384462v18   #95384462v18   Section 9.25 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan  Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or  instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support,” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the  parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and  Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution  Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable  notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws  of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).  In the event a Covered  Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S.  Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and  any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in  property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to  the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC  and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of  the United States or a state of the United States.  In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered  Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan  Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised  against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be  exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed  by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood  and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the  rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.  Section 9.26 ERISA Representation of the Lenders.    (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender  party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person  ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective  Affiliates and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at  least one of the following is and will be true:   (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of  ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into,  participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the  Commitments, or this Agreement,  (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a  class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset  managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company  general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance  company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions  involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain  transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s  entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of  Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,  (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional  Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional  Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in,  administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,  (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters  of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of subsections (b)  through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements  of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into,

(b) In addition, unless either (1) subclause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true  with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance  with subclause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of  the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a  Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative  Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the  Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such  Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans,  the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise  of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related  hereto or thereto).
