more than one person acting as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with
the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company;
provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the acquisition of additional stock by any one Person, who is considered

by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer; or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within

jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation; or (y) its primary purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned

 Stock Subject to the Plan.

(a)                
Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate
number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is 5,000,000 Shares. In addition, Shares may become available for issuance under the
Plan pursuant to Section 3(b). The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.

(b)               
Lapsed Awards. If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to
an Exchange Program, or, with respect to Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, or Performance Shares, is forfeited
to, or repurchased by, the Company due to failure to vest, then the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights, the forfeited or repurchased Shares), which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan
(unless the Plan has terminated). With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, only Shares actually issued (i.e., the net Shares issued) pursuant
to a Stock Appreciation Right will cease to be available under the Plan; all remaining Shares under Stock Appreciation Rights will remain
available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Shares that actually have been issued under the Plan
under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however,
that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, or Performance Units are repurchased
by the Company or are forfeited to the Company due to failure to vest, such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan.
Shares used to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an Award will become available
for future grant or sale under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, the cash payment
will not result in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 13, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options
will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code
and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section
3(b).

(c)                
Share Reserve. The Company, at all times during the term of this Plan, will reserve and keep available such number of Shares
as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

    	 

    	 

    

 

4.                  
 Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance
Shares, and Performance Units may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

5.                  
Stock Options.

(a)                
Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant
Options to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(b)               
Stock Option Agreement. Each Award of an Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price,
the number of Shares subject to the Option, the exercise restrictions, if any, applicable to the Option, and such other terms and conditions
as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(c)                
Limitations. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock
Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company
and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.
For purposes of this Section 5(c), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.
The Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

(d)               
Term of Option. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term
will be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case
of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing
more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in
the Award Agreement.

(e)                
Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

(i)           
Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be determined
by the Administrator, subject to the following:

(A)       In
the case of an Incentive Stock Option

(1)       granted
to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(2)       granted
to any Employee other than an Employee described in subsection (1) immediately above, the per Share exercise price will be
no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(B)       In
the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(C)       Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of
the Code.

    	 

    	 

    

(ii)           
 Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which
the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

(iii)           
Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option,
including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration
at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (A) cash; (B) check; (C) promissory note, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Laws; (D) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal
to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided that accepting such Shares will
not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (E) consideration
received by the Company under a broker-assisted (or other) cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented
by the Company in connection with the Plan; (F) by net exercise; (G) such other consideration and method of payment for the
issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or (H) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

(f)                 
Exercise of Option.

(i)           
Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms
of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An
Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (A) a notice of exercise (in accordance with the procedures that the
Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option; and (B) full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with any applicable tax withholdings). Full payment may consist of any
consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant
and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to
the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such
Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is
prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

Exercising
an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the
Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(ii)           
Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the
cessation of the Participant’s Service Provider status as the result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant
may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested
on the date of cessation of the Participant’s Service Provider status (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of
such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable
for three (3) months following cessation of the Participant’s Service Provider status. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator,
if on the date of cessation of the Participant’s Service Provider status the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire
Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If, after cessation of the Participant’s
Service Provider status, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option
will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(iii)           
Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability,
the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option
is vested on the date of cessation of the Participant’s Service
Provider status (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence
of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following cessation of the
Participant’s Service Provider status. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of cessation of the Participant’s
Service Provider status the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the
Option will revert to the Plan. If, after cessation of the Participant’s Service Provider status, the Participant does not exercise
his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the
Plan.

    	 

    	 

    

(iv)           
Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant’s
death within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death
(but in no event may the Option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement),
by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to the Participant’s death
in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised
by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant
to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the
Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s death. Unless otherwise
provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered
by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified
herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan. 

(v)           
Tolling Expiration. A Participant’s Award Agreement may also provide that:

(A)       if
the exercise of the Option following the cessation of the Participant’s status as a Service Provider (other than upon the Participant’s
death or Disability) would result in liability under Section 16(b), then the Option will terminate on the earlier of (A) the expiration
of the term of the Option set forth in the Award Agreement, or (B) the tenth (10th) day after the last date on which such
exercise would result in liability under Section 16(b); or

(B)       if
the exercise of the Option following the cessation of the Participant’s status as a Service Provider (other than upon the Participant’s
death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of Shares would violate the registration requirements
under the Securities Act, then the Option will terminate on the earlier of (A) the expiration of the term of the Option or (B) the expiration
of a period of thirty (30) days after the cessation of the Participant’s status as a Service Provider during which the exercise
of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements.

6.                  
Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)                
Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted
to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. 

(b)               
Number of Shares. The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Stock Appreciation Rights granted
to any Service Provider.

(c)                
Exercise Price and Other Terms. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of a Stock Appreciation
Right will be determined by the Administrator and will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share
on the date of grant. Otherwise, the Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine
the terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan.

(d)               
Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify
the exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

    	 

    	 

    

(e)                
 Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date as determined
by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section
5(d) relating to the term and Section 5(f) relating to exercise also will apply to Stock Appreciation Rights.

(f)                 
Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled
to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined as the product of:

(i)           
The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; and

(ii)           
The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

At
the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent
value, or in some combination of both.

7.                  
Restricted Stock.

(a)                
Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time,
may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(b)               
Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify any Period
of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will
determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock until the
restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.

(c)                
Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 7 or the Award Agreement, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of any applicable Period of Restriction.

(d)               
Other Restrictions. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock
as it may deem advisable or appropriate.

(e)                
Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted
Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of any applicable Period of Restriction
or at such other time as the Administrator may determine. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any
restrictions will lapse or be removed. 

(f)                 
Voting Rights. During any applicable Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder
may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.

(g)               
Dividends and Other Distributions. During any applicable Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted
Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares, unless the Administrator provides
otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability
and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

(h)               
Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions
have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

    	 

    	 

    

8.                  
 Restricted Stock Units.

(a)                
Grant. Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. After the Administrator
determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, it will advise the Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms,
conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.

(b)               
Vesting Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent
to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator
may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not
limited to, continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator
in its discretion.

(c)                
Earning Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout
as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.

(d)               
Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined
by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock
Units only in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.

(e)                
Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company.

9.                  
Performance Units and Performance Shares.

(a)                
Grant of Performance Units/Shares. Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and
from time to time, as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator will have complete discretion
in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant.

(b)               
Value of Performance Units/Shares. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on
or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date
of grant.

(c)                
Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including,
without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met,
will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Service Providers. The time period during
which the performance objectives or other vesting provisions must be met will be called the “Performance Period.”
Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other
terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. The Administrator may set performance objectives based
upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, business unit or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment
or service), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

(d)               
Earning of Performance Units/Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares
will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period,
to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting provisions have been
achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance
objectives or other vesting provisions for such Performance Unit/Share.

    	 

    	 

    

(e)                
 Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as soon as practicable
after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares
in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares at
the close of the applicable Performance Period), or in a combination thereof.

(f)                 
Cancellation of Performance Units/Shares. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares
will be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the Plan.

10.               
Outside Director Award Limitations. No Outside Director may be paid, issued, or granted, in any Fiscal Year, equity awards (including
any Awards issued under this Plan) with an aggregate value (the value of which will be based on their grant date fair value determined
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and any other compensation (including without limitation any cash retainers
or fees) that, in the aggregate, exceed $500,000. Any Awards or other compensation paid or provided to an individual for his or her services
as an Employee, or for his or her services as a Consultant (other than as an Outside Director), will not count for purposes of the limitation
under this Section 10.

11.               
Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder
will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (a) any leave
of absence approved by the Company; or (b) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any
of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed three (3) months, unless reemployment upon
expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the
Company is not so guaranteed, then six (6) months following the first (1st) day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held
by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock
Option.

12.               
Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than except, to the extent permitted by the Code, (a) by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution; (b) to immediate family members (spouse, child, grandchild, parent or sibling) of an Optionee or trusts
for the benefit of an Optionee or an Optionee’s immediate family members; or (c) a business entity in which Optionee is at least
a twenty-five percent (25%) equity owner. If the Administrator otherwise makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional
terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

13.               
Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

(a)                
Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other
property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
reclassification, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of
the Company affecting the Shares occurs (other than any ordinary dividends or other ordinary distributions), the Administrator, in order
to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will adjust
the number and class of shares of stock that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of shares of stock covered
by each outstanding Award, and the numerical Share limits in Section 3 of the Plan. 

(b)               
Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify
each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously
exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c)                
Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or other entity or a Change
in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines (subject to the provisions of the following paragraph)
without a Participant’s consent, including, without limitation, that (i) Awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent
awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding
corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written
notice to a Participant, that the Participant’s Awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger
or Change in Control; (iii) outstanding Awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to
an Award will lapse, in whole or in part, prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Administrator
determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or Change in Control; (iv) (A) the termination
of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise
of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance
of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have
been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by
the Company without payment); or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in
its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 13(c),
the Administrator will not be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, all Awards of the same type, or all portions
of Awards, similarly.

    	 

    	 

    

In
the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award (or portions thereof), the Participant will fully
vest in and have the right to exercise the Participant’s outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right (or portions thereof)
that is not assumed or substituted for, including Shares as to which such Award would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions
on Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units (or portions thereof) not assumed or substituted
for will lapse, and, with respect to such Awards with performance-based vesting (or portions thereof) not assumed or substituted for,
all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other
terms and conditions met, in each case, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable Award Agreement or other written
agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parents, as applicable. In addition, if an Option or
Stock Appreciation Right (or portions thereof) is not assumed or substituted for in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator
will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that such Option or Stock Appreciation Right (or its applicable portion) will
be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right
(or its applicable portion) will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

For
the purposes of this subsection (c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the Award
confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the
consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common
Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of
consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received
in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with
the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation
Right or upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Unit or Performance Share, for each Share subject to such Award, to
be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received
by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.

Notwithstanding
anything in this subsection (c) to the contrary, and unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or other written agreement
between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parents, as applicable, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out
upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of
such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect
the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award
assumption.

Notwithstanding
anything in this subsection (c) to the contrary, if a payment under an Award Agreement is subject to Section 409A and if the change
in control definition contained in the Award Agreement or other written agreement related to the Award does not comply with the definition
of “change in control” for purposes of a distribution under Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that otherwise
is accelerated under this Section 13
will be delayed until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Section 409A without triggering any penalties applicable
under Section 409A.

    	 

    	 

    

(d)               
Outside Director Awards. With respect to Awards granted to an Outside Director, in the event of a Change in Control, the Participant
will fully vest in and have the right to exercise Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights as to all of the Shares underlying such Award,
including those Shares which would not be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will
lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved
at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met, unless specifically provided otherwise under
the applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parents,
as applicable.

14.               
Tax.

(a)                
Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof) or such
earlier time as any tax withholding obligations are due, the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries, Parents, or affiliates employing or
retaining the services of a Participant, as applicable) will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant
to remit to the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries, Parents, or affiliates, as applicable), an amount sufficient to satisfy U.S. federal,
state, and local, non-U.S., and other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect
to such Award (or exercise thereof). 

(b)               
Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time
to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i) paying
cash, check, or other cash equivalents; (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares having a
fair market value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld or such greater amount as the Administrator may determine
if such amount would not have adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (iii) delivering
to the Company already owned Shares having a fair market value equal to the statutory amount required to be withheld or such greater
amount as the Administrator may determine, in each case, provided the delivery of such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting
consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable
to the Participant through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise)
equal to the amount required to be withheld; or (v) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. The withholding amount will
be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount
determined by using the maximum federal, state, or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the
Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined or such greater amount as the Administrator may determine
if such amount would not have adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion. The fair market
value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

(c)                
Compliance With Section 409A. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the
application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be
subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of
the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A and
will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.
To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A, the Award will be granted,
paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement
or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A. In no event will the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or Parents have any obligation or liability under the terms of this Plan to reimburse, indemnify, or hold harmless
any Participant or any other person in respect of Awards, for any taxes, interest, or penalties imposed, or other costs incurred, as
a result of Section 409A.

15.               
No Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect
to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider, nor interfere in any
way with the Participant’s right or the right of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Parents, as applicable, to terminate such
relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

    	 

    	 

    

16.               
Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to
each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

17.               
Term of Plan. Subject to Section 21 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board.
It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date adopted by the Board, unless terminated earlier under Section
18 of the Plan.

18.               
Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a)                
Amendment and Termination. The Administrator, at any time, may amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan. 

(b)               
Stockholder Approval. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable
to comply with Applicable Laws. 

(c)                
Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of the Plan will materially impair the
rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in
writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise
the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

19.               
Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a)                
Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance
and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with
respect to such compliance.

(b)               
Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award
to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present
intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

20.               
Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction
or to complete or comply with the requirements of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any U.S. state or federal
law or non-U.S. law, or under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the stock exchange on which Shares
of the same class are then listed, or any other governmental or regulatory body, which authority, registration, qualification, or rule
compliance is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary or advisable for the issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority, registration,
qualification or rule compliance will not have been obtained.

21.               
Stockholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months
after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required
under Applicable Laws.

22.               
Forfeiture Events. The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and
benefits with respect to an Award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, recoupment, reimbursement, or reacquisition
upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under this Plan, an Award will be subject to the Company’s clawback policy as may
be established and/or amended from
time to time to comply with Applicable Laws (including without limitation pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities
exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed, or as may be required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act) (the “Clawback Policy”). The Administrator may require a Participant to forfeit, return,
or reimburse the Company all or a portion of the Award and any amounts paid thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Clawback Policy or
as necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws. Unless this Section 22 specifically is mentioned and waived in an
Award Agreement or other document, no recovery of compensation under a Clawback Policy or otherwise will constitute an event that triggers
or contributes to any right of a Participant to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination”
(or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company.exhibit101creditagreemen

(f) In connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition and any related  transactions (including any financing thereof), at the Company’s election, (i) determining the  accuracy of representations and warranties and/or compliance with any requirement relating to the  absence of a Default or an Event of Default may be determined as of the date (the “LCT  Determination Date”) a definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered  into, and (ii) any calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Net Leverage Ratio or any other  financial measure, or any amount based on Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated EBITDA,  Consolidated Operating Income or a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated  EBITDA or Consolidated Operating Income, or any other determination under any basket or ratio  under this Agreement, or any other determination as to whether any such Limited Condition  Acquisition and any related transactions (including any financing thereof) comply with the  covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, may be made as of the LCT Determination  Date and, to the extent so made, will not be required to be made at any later date as would otherwise  be required under this Agreement in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition;  provided that (1) the determinations in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall give pro forma effect to such  Limited Condition Acquisition and any related transactions (including any incurrence or discharge  of Indebtedness and Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) and (2) compliance with such ratios,  baskets or amounts (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or tested  at any time after the LCT Determination Date for such Limited Condition Acquisition and any  actions or transactions related thereto (including any incurrence or discharge of Indebtedness and  Liens and the use of proceeds thereof).  For purposes of determining compliance with any ratio,  basket or amount on the LCT Determination Date, Consolidated Interest Expense for purposes of  the Interest Coverage Ratio will be calculated using an assumed interest rate based on the  indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to  such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as determined by the Company  in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company  makes such an election and any of the ratios, baskets or amounts for which compliance was  determined or tested as of the LCT Determination Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in  any such ratio, basket or amount, including due to fluctuations in exchange rates, in Consolidated  EBITDA of the Company or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition or any  applicable currency exchange rate, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or  action, such ratios, baskets or amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of  such fluctuations in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition.  If the Company makes  such an election, any subsequent calculation of any such ratio, basket or amount (unless the  definitive agreement for, or firm offer in respect of, such Limited Condition Acquisition is  terminated or expires without its consummation) shall be calculated both (1) giving pro forma  effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and any related transactions (including any  incurrence or discharge of Indebtedness and Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) and  (2) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and any related transactions (including any  incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated.    1.4 Benchmark Replacement Notification.

(a) The Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, as applicable,  shall determine reasonably and in good faith the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Loans and Letters  of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies.  Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective  as of the Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next  Revaluation Date to occur.  Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties  hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the  applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall  be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable  Issuing Lender, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent or applicable Issuing Lender, as  applicable, shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such amount.  (b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with the initial advance, or the  conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a  Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in  Dollars, but such Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount  shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (the resulting quotient  rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%), as determined reasonably and in good faith by  the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and the  Administrative Agent or applicable Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall promptly notify the  Borrowers of such amount. All financial statements and Compliance Certificates shall be set forth  in Dollars. For purposes of preparing financial statements, calculating financial covenants, and  determining compliance with covenants expressed in Dollars, Alternative Currencies shall be  converted into Dollars in accordance with GAAP.  1.6 Status of Obligations.  In the event that the Company or any other Loan Party shall  at any time issue or have outstanding any Subordinated Indebtedness, the Company shall take or  cause such other Loan Party to take all such actions as shall be necessary to cause the Obligations  to constitute senior indebtedness (however denominated) in respect of such Subordinated  Indebtedness and to enable the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to have and exercise any  payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior  indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness.  Without limiting the foregoing,  the Obligations are hereby designated as “senior indebtedness” and as “designated senior  indebtedness” and words of similar import under and in respect of any indenture or other  agreement or instrument under which such Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding and are  further given all such other designations as shall be required under the terms of any such  Subordinated Indebtedness in order that the Lenders may have and exercise any payment blockage  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    66    or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the  terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness.  1.7 Lead Borrower.  For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,  each Borrower (i) authorizes the Company to make such requests, give such notices or furnish  such certificates to the Administrative Agent or any Lender as may be required or permitted by  this Agreement and any other Loan Document for the benefit of each Borrower and (ii) authorizes  the Administrative Agent and each Lender to treat such requests, notices, certificates or consents  given or made by the Company to have been made, given or furnished by each Borrower for  purposes of this Agreement and any other Loan Document.  Any request, notice, certificate, or  consent required to be given by or to the Borrowers shall be satisfied if the request, notice,  certificate or consent is given to or by the Company, whether or not specifying to be given to or  by the Company on behalf of any other Borrower.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender  shall be entitled to rely on each such request, notice, certificate or consent made, given or furnished  by the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as  being made or furnished on behalf of, and with the effect of irrevocably binding, each Borrower.  ARTICLE 2  REVOLVING CREDIT AND SWINGLINE LOAN FACILITIES  2.1 Revolving Credit Commitments.    (a) Revolving Credit Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and  relying upon the representations and warranties herein specified, each Lender severally agrees to  make Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies to the Borrowers  at any time or from time to time on or after the Closing Date to the Expiration Date; provided that  after giving effect to each such Loan (i) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from  such Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Lender’s  Ratable Share of the outstanding Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) the  Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) the  Revolving Facility Usage denominated in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative  Currency Sublimit.  Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of  this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1(a).   Revolving Credit Loans may be Daily Rate Loans or Term Rate Loans, as further provided herein.   The aggregate outstanding principal Dollar Equivalent of all Revolving Credit Loans made to the  Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers shall not exceed the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Sublimit.  (b) Swingline Loan Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof  and relying upon the representations and warranties herein specified and the agreements of the  other Lenders specified in Section 2.6 [Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans;  Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowings to Repay Swingline Loans] with respect to  Swingline Loans, PNC shall make swingline loans in Dollars (the “Swingline Loans”) to the  Borrowers at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date to, but not including, the  Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount as requested by the Borrowers not to exceed  $50,000,000 at any time outstanding; provided that after giving effect to such Swingline Loan  (i) the aggregate amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans plus such Lender’s Ratable  Share of the outstanding Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed such  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    67    Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the  aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders.  Within such limits of time and amount  and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and  reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1(b).  Swingline Loans shall be Base Rate Loans or bear  interest at such other rate as may be agreed upon between the Borrower and PNC.  2.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans.  Each  Lender shall be obligated to fund each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.5  [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals; Swingline Loan Requests] in  accordance with its Ratable Share.  The aggregate of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans  outstanding hereunder to the Borrowers at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit  Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the outstanding Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit  Obligations.  The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several.  The failure of any Lender to  perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrowers to any other  party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations  hereunder.  The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on  or after the Expiration Date.  2.3 Commitment Fees.  Accruing for each day from the Closing Date until the  Expiration Date (and without regard to whether the conditions to making Revolving Credit Loans  are then met), the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each  Lender according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”)  in Dollars equal to the Applicable Margin for Commitment Fees for such day (computed on the  basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the difference for such day  between the amount of (a) the Revolving Credit Commitments minus (b) the Revolving Facility  Usage (provided, however, that solely in connection with determining the share of each Lender in  the Commitment Fee, the Revolving Facility Usage with respect to the portion of the Commitment  Fee allocated to PNC shall include the full amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans, and with  respect to the portion of the Commitment Fee allocated by the Administrative Agent to all of the  Lenders other than PNC, such portion of the Commitment Fee shall be calculated (according to  each such Lender’s Ratable Share) as if the Revolving Facility Usage excludes the outstanding  Swingline Loans); provided that no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment  Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not  be required to pay any such Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have  been paid to that Defaulting Lender).  Subject to the proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all  Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.  2.4 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.    (a) Voluntary Reductions or Terminations.  The Borrowers shall have the right,  upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the  Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the  Revolving Credit Commitments (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their Ratable Shares);  provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be  permitted if, upon giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans  made on the effective date thereof, the Revolving Facility Usage would exceed the aggregate  Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders; and provided, further, that in the event the  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    68    Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced to an aggregate amount less than the Letter of Credit  Sublimit or the Swingline Loan Commitment then in effect, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the  Swingline Loan Commitment, as applicable, shall be reduced by an amount such that none of the  Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Swingline Loan Commitment, as applicable, exceed the  Revolving Credit Commitments.  Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to the Dollar  Equivalent of an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000, and shall reduce  permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.  Any such reduction or termination  shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Notes, together with outstanding Commitment Fees,  and the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred  to in Section 5.10 [Indemnity] hereof) to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate Revolving  Facility Usage after giving effect to such prepayments to be equal to or less than the Revolving  Credit Commitments as so reduced or terminated.  Any notice to terminate or reduce the Revolving  Credit Commitments under this Section 2.4 shall be irrevocable, but may be conditioned upon the  effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions specified therein.  (b) Lender Combinations.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to  the contrary, upon the acquisition of one Lender by another Lender, or the merger, consolidation  or other combination of any two or more Lenders (any such acquisition, merger, consolidation or  other combination being referred to hereinafter as a “Combination” and each Lender which is a  party to such Combination being hereinafter referred to as a “Combined Lender”), the Company  may notify the Administrative Agent that it desires to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment  of the Lender surviving such Combination (the “Surviving Lender”) to an amount equal to the  Revolving Credit Commitment of that Combined Lender which had the largest Revolving Credit  Commitment of each of the Combined Lenders party to such Combination (such largest Revolving  Credit Commitment being the “Surviving Commitment” and the Revolving Credit Commitments  of the other Combined Lenders being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Retired  Commitments”).  If the Required Lenders (determined as set forth below) and the Administrative  Agent agree to such reduction in the Surviving Lender’s Commitment, then (i) the aggregate  amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced by the Retired Commitments  effective upon the effective date of the Combination (or such later date as the Company may  specify in its request), provided, that, on or before such date the Borrowers have paid in full the  outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of each of the Combined Lenders  other than the Combined Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment is the Surviving  Commitment, (ii) from and after the effective date of such reduction, the Surviving Lender shall  have no obligation with respect to the Retired Commitments, and (iii) the Company shall notify  the Administrative Agent whether it wants such reduction to be a permanent reduction or a  temporary reduction.  If such reduction is to be a temporary reduction, then the Company shall be  responsible for finding one or more financial institutions (which for the avoidance of doubt may  be one or more existing Lenders) (each, a “Replacement Lender”), acceptable to the  Administrative Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),  willing to assume the obligations of a Lender hereunder with aggregate Revolving Credit  Commitments up to the amount of the Retired Commitments, provided that, with respect to Loans  extended to Dutch Borrowers only, such Replacement Lender is also a Non-Public Lender.  The  Administrative Agent may require the Replacement Lenders to execute such documents,  instruments or agreements as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or desirable  to evidence such Replacement Lenders’ agreement to become parties hereunder.  For purposes of  this Section 2.4(b), Required Lenders shall be determined as if the reduction in the aggregate  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    69    amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments requested by the Company had occurred (i.e., the  Combined Lenders shall be deemed to have a single Revolving Credit Commitment equal to the  Surviving Commitment and the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be  deemed to have been reduced by the Retired Commitments).  2.5 Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals; Swingline Loan  Requests.   (a) Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals.  Except as  otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date  request the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans, or renew or convert the Interest Rate Option  applicable to existing Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.2 [Interest  Periods], by delivering to the Administrative Agent, not later than 12:00 noon Local Time,   (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with  respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars to which the Term  SOFR Rate Option applies or the conversion to or the renewal of such Interest Rate Option  for any Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars;   (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with  respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies to  which the Eurocurrency Rate Option applies, or the conversion to or renewal of a  Eurocurrency Rate Option for any Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative  Currencies;   (iii) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with  respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies to  which the Daily Simple RFR Option applies, or the conversion to or renewal of a Daily  Simple RFR Option for any Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative  Currencies; and/or  (iv) the same Business Day of the proposed Borrowing Date with respect  to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies or the last  day of the preceding Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option  for any Revolving Credit Loan,   in each case, of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit G or  a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or electronic mail in  such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely  on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt  of such written confirmation.  Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the  Currency, the Type, and the aggregate amount of the proposed Loans comprising each Borrowing  Tranche, and, if applicable, the Interest Period, which amounts shall be in (x) integral multiples of  the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 and not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $2,000,000 for each  Borrowing Tranche under a Term Rate Loan Option, and (y) integral multiples of $1,000,000 and  not less than $2,000,000 for each Borrowing Tranche under a Daily Rate Loan Option.  If no  election as to Currency is specified in the applicable Loan Request, then the requested Loans shall  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    70    be made in Dollars.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any  obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Revolving Credit Loans the proceeds of  which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of, with or for  the benefit of any Sanctioned Person in violation of any Sanctions, or in, with or involving any  Sanctioned Jurisdiction; (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any  party to this Agreement; or (iii) in any manner that reasonably could be expected to result in any  party to this Agreement becoming a Sanctioned Person.  (b) Swingline Loan Requests.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the  Borrowers may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request the Swingline Loan Lender  to make Swingline Loans by delivery to the Swingline Loan Lender not later than 12:00 noon on  the proposed Borrowing Date of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of  Exhibit H hereto or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile  or electronic mail (each, a “Swingline Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative  Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the  necessity of receipt of such written confirmation.  Each Swingline Loan Request shall be  irrevocable and shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the principal amount of such  Swingline Loan, which shall be not less than $50,000.  2.6 Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans; Repayment of Revolving  Credit Loans; Borrowings to Repay Swingline Loans.    (a) Making Revolving Credit Loans.  The Administrative Agent shall, promptly  after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests;  Conversions and Renewals; Swingline Loan Requests], notify the applicable Lenders of its receipt  of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by a Borrower, including the Currency  in which such Revolving Credit Loan is requested, and the apportionment among the Lenders of  the requested Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance  with Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans].  Each  Lender shall remit its apportioned share (as provided to it by the Administrative Agent) of the  principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan in the requested Currency (in the case of  Alternative Currency Loans, in Dollars if so requested by the Administrative Agent) to the  Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent  shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to  Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers  in Same Day Funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m. Local Time, on the applicable  Borrowing Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent  in a timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own  funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall  be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 5.6(a) [Administrative Agent’s Clawback].  (b) [Reserved].  (c) Making Swingline Loans.  PNC shall, after receipt by it of a Swingline Loan  Request pursuant to Section 2.5(b) [Swingline Loan Requests], fund such Swingline Loan to the  Borrowers in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    71    4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Borrowing Date.  A Swingline Loan Note shall, if required by PNC,  evidence the Swingline Loans.  (d) Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans.  The Borrowers shall repay the  outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans, together with all outstanding interest  thereon, on the Expiration Date.  (e) Borrowings to Repay Swingline Loans.    (i) PNC may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason  whatsoever, demand repayment from the Lenders of any or all of the outstanding Swingline  Loans, and each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such  Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swingline  Loans with respect to which repayment is demanded, plus, if PNC so requests, accrued  interest thereon; provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving  Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of  Letter of Credit Obligations and minus its Ratable Share of any Swingline Loans not so  being repaid.  Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear  interest at the Base Rate Option (subject to conversion in accordance with Section 4.2  [Interest Periods]) and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with  Section 2.5(a) [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals] without  regard to any of the requirements of that provision.  PNC shall provide notice to the Lenders  (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or electronic mail) that such  Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.6(e) and of the apportionment  among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such  Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.5(a)  [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals] or in Section 7.2 [Each  Loan or Letter of Credit] are then satisfied) by the time PNC so requests, which shall not  be earlier than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day next after the date the Lenders  receive such notice from PNC.  (ii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent  for the account of PNC (as the Swingline Loan Lender) any amount required to be paid by  such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(e) by the time  specified in Section 2.6(e)(i), the Swingline Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover from  such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with  interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which  such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Loan Lender at a rate per annum  equal to the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the  Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank  compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by  the Swingline Loan Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such  amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such  Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan with respect to such prepayment.  A certificate of the  Swingline Loan Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with  respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest  error.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    72    (f) Swingline Loans Under Cash Management Agreements.  In addition to  making Swingline Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.6(c) [Making  Swingline Loans], without the requirement for a specific request from a Borrower pursuant to  Section 2.5(b) [Swingline Loan Requests], PNC as the Swingline Loan Lender may make  Swingline Loans to the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the agreements between  the Borrowers and such Swingline Loan Lender relating to the Borrowers’ deposit, sweep and  other accounts at such Swingline Loan Lender and related arrangements and agreements regarding  the management and investment of the Borrowers’ cash assets as in effect from time to time (the  “Cash Management Agreements”) to the extent of the daily aggregate net negative balance in the  Borrowers’ accounts which are subject to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements.   Swingline Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.6(f) in accordance with the provisions of the  Cash Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to the limitations as to aggregate amount  specified in Section 2.1(b) [Swingline Loan Commitment], (ii) not be subject to the limitations as  to individual amount specified in Section 2.5(b) [Swingline Loan Requests], (iii) be payable by  the Borrowers, both as to principal and interest, at the rates and times specified in the Cash  Management Agreements (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), (iv) not be made at any  time after such Swingline Loan Lender has received written notice of the occurrence of an Event  of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, or, unless consented to by the Required  Lenders, written notice of the occurrence of a Default and so long as such shall continue to exist,  (v) if not repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management  Agreements, be subject to each Lender’s obligation pursuant to Section 2.6(e) [Borrowings to  Repay Swingline Loans], and (vi) except as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v),  be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Article 2.  2.7 Notes.  If requested by a Lender, the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the  aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and Term  Loans made to them by such Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a  revolving credit Note, a Swingline Loan Note and/or a term Note, as applicable, payable to such  Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, Swingline Loan Commitment  or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender.  2.8 Letter of Credit Subfacility.    (a) Issuance of Letters of Credit.  Each Borrower may at any time prior to the  Expiration Date request the issuance of a letter of credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternative  Currency (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for its own account or the account of another Borrower or  any Subsidiary of a Borrower or the amendment, renewal or extension of an existing Letter of  Credit, by delivering or transmitting electronically to the applicable Issuing Lender (with a copy  to the Administrative Agent) a completed application for letter of credit, or request for such  amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable, in such form as the applicable Issuing Lender  may specify to its customers generally for such purpose from time to time reasonably in advance  of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, but in any event no less than  three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed date of issuance (provided that to the extent of  any conflict between such form of application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control).   Each Letter of Credit shall be a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial Letter of Credit;  provided, however, that Truist Bank in its capacity as an Issuing Lender hereunder will not issue  Commercial Letters of Credit.  Each Borrower shall authorize and direct the applicable Issuing  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    73    Lender to name such Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account  Party” of each Letter of Credit.  Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, the  applicable Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing)  that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not,  the applicable Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for  all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and  outstanding hereunder.  (i) Unless the applicable Issuing Lender has received notice from the  Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one (1) day prior to the requested date of  issuance, increase or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more  applicable conditions in Article 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit]  is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the  agreements of the other Lenders specified in this Section 2.8, the applicable Issuing Lender  or any of such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates will issue the proposed Letter of Credit or agree  to such increase or extension; provided that, subject to the penultimate sentence of this  clause (i), no Letter of Credit shall expire later than the earlier of (A) the date that is two  (2) years after the date of issuance (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, two  (2) years after such renewal or extension) and (B) five (5) Business Days prior to the  Expiration Date; and provided, further, that Letters of Credit with a maturity of twelve (12)  months from the date of issuance may provide for the renewal thereof for additional twelve  (12) month periods (which shall in no event extend beyond five (5) Business Days prior to  the Expiration Date); and provided, further, that in no event shall (1) the Letter of Credit  Obligations exceed, at any one time, in the aggregate, $60,000,000 (the “Letter of Credit  Sublimit”), (2) the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued by  (a) PNC, exceed $12,000,000, (b) BMO Harris Bank N.A., exceed $12,000,000,  (c) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., exceed $12,000,000, (d) Truist Bank, exceed  $12,000,000 or (e) U.S. Bank National Association, exceed $12,000,000, in each case  unless such Issuing Lender agrees to a higher amount in its sole discretion, (3) the  Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments, or  (4) the Revolving Facility Usage denominated in Alternative Currencies exceed, at any one  time, the Alternative Currency Sublimit.  Each request by a Borrower for the issuance,  increase or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by such  Borrower that it shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and with Article 7  [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] upon giving effect to the  requested issuance, increase or extension of such Letter of Credit.  Promptly after its  delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary  thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to such Borrower and the  Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.   Upon the request of the Borrowers and subject to the approval, in its reasonable discretion,  by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, any Letter of Credit may  have a later expiry date (but in no even later than one (1) year after the Expiration Date) if,  prior to or immediately upon the Expiration Date, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize  the then outstanding amount of all such Letter of Credit Obligations.  The Borrowers  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    74    hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Lender and the  Lenders, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral.  (ii) Notwithstanding Section 2.8(a)(i), each Issuing Lender shall not be  under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment or decree of  any Official Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing  Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from,  or any Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not  having the force of law) from any Official Body with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender  shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of  credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular, or any such order, judgment, or decree,  or Law, request, or directive, shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to the  Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing  Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall  impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not  applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material  to it, (B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such  Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally or (C) any Lender is at that time a  Defaulting Lender, unless the applicable Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements,  including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its  reasonable discretion) with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing  Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 5.15(a)(iv)  [Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure]) with respect to the  Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or  that Letter of Credit and all other Issuing Lender Obligations as to which such Issuing  Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its reasonable  discretion.  (b) Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay in Dollars or, at the  Administrative Agent’s option, the Alternative Currency in which the Letter of Credit is issued  (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit  Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin for Letter of Credit Fees times the Dollar Equivalent of the  daily stated amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit, excluding any portion  thereof attributable to unreimbursed Letter of Credit disbursements, and (ii) to each Issuing Lender  for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily  stated amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit.  All Letter of Credit Fees and  fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed and shall  be payable in Dollars quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of each Letter  of Credit.  The Borrowers shall also pay (in Dollars) to each Issuing Lender for such Issuing  Lender’s sole account such Issuing Lender’s then-in-effect generally applicable customary fees  and administrative expenses (including but not limited to any generally applicable documentary  and processing charges) payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as such Issuing Lender may  generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, amendment (if any),  assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, presentment, renewal, extension, cancellation, and  administration of Letters of Credit.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    75    (c) Disbursements, Reimbursement.  Immediately upon the issuance of each  Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally  agrees to, purchase from the applicable Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and  each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum  amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing,  respectively, in each case in the Currency in which each Letter of Credit is issued.  (i) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by  the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will promptly notify the  Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof.  The Borrowers shall reimburse (such  obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a  “Reimbursement Obligation”) the applicable Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 noon Eastern  time on each date that an amount is paid by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit  (each such date, subject to the proviso to this sentence, a “Drawing Date”), if the Borrower  shall have received notice of such drawing from the applicable Issuing Lender by  10:00 a.m. Eastern time on such date, by paying to the Administrative Agent for the  account of such Issuing Lender an amount, in the Currency of the drawing under such  Letter of Credit, equal to the amount so paid by such Issuing Lender; provided that if such  notice is received after 10:00 a.m. Eastern time or on a day that is not a Business Day, then  the Borrowers’ reimbursement obligation shall be prior to 12:00 noon Eastern time on the  next Business Day and such next Business Day shall be deemed to be the Drawing Date.   In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender (through the  Administrative Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, in  the Currency of such drawing, by 12:00 noon Eastern time on the Drawing Date, the  Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrowers shall  be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Lenders in  Dollars (and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in an Alternative Currency, in the  Dollar Equivalent amount to the amount paid by the applicable Issuing Lender in such  Alternative Currency on the Drawing Date thereof) under the Base Rate Option to be  disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, in each case subject to the  amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the  conditions specified in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice  requirements and minimum borrowing amounts and such Lenders shall be irrevocably and  unconditionally obligated to fund such participations in the reimbursement obligations on  a pro rata basis.  Any notice given by the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender  pursuant to this Section 2.8(c)(i) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided  that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or  binding effect of such notice.  (ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.8(c)(i)  make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing  Lender an amount in Dollars in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of  the amount of the drawing (and if the Letter of Credit was denominated in an Alternative  Currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount to the amount paid by such Issuing Lender in  such Alternative Currency on the Drawing Date thereof), whereupon the participating  Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.8(c) [Disbursements; Reimbursement]) each be deemed  to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the Borrowers in that  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    76    amount.  If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for  the account of the applicable Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of  such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Drawing Date, then interest  shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to  the date on which such Lender makes such payment (A) at a rate per annum equal to the  Overnight Bank Funding Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date  and (B) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under  the Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date.  The  Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as  described in Section 2.8(c)(i) above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of  the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the  Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such  date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.8(c)(ii).  (iii) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into  Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrowers in whole  or in part as contemplated by Section 2.8(c)(i), because of any failure on the part of a  Borrower to satisfy the conditions specified in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit]  other than any notice requirements and minimum borrowing amounts, the Borrowers shall  be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter  of Credit Borrowing”) in Dollars in the amount of such drawing (and, if the Letter of Credit  was denominated in an Alternative Currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount to the  amount paid by such Issuing Lender in such Alternative Currency on the Drawing Date  thereof).  Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together  with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving  Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option.  Each Lender’s payment to the Administrative  Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8(c) shall  be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing  (each, a “Participation Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation  obligation under this Section 2.8(c).  (d) Repayment of Participation Advances.    (i) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the  account of the applicable Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the  Borrowers (A) in reimbursement of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under the  Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the  Administrative Agent, or (B) in payment of interest on such a payment made by such  Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such  Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the  Administrative Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except  the Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of  the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance  in respect of such payment by such Issuing Lender.  (ii) If the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any  Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    77    Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative  Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in  reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fees thereon,  each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the  Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable  Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from  the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the  Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Bank Funding Rate in  effect from time to time, in the applicable Currency of such payment.  (e) Documentation.  Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of each  applicable Issuing Lender’s application and agreement for letters of credit to which it is a party  from time to time.  In the event of a conflict between an Issuing Lender’s application or agreement  and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.  It is understood and agreed that, except in the  case of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent  jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, each Issuing Lender shall not be liable for  following any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any  modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.  (f) Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests.  In determining whether to  honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the applicable  Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required  to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face  with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.  (g) Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.  Each Lender’s  obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation  Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.8(c) [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a result of a  drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable  Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and  irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8 under  all circumstances, including the following circumstances:  (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which  such Lender may have against the applicable Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, the  Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, or which any Loan Party may  have against such Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person  for any reason whatsoever;  (ii) the failure of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in  connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions specified in Section 2.1  [Revolving Credit Commitments], Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests;  Conversions and Renewals; Swingline Loan Requests], Section 2.6 [Making Revolving  Credit Loans and Swingline Loans; Etc.] or Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] or  as otherwise specified in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it  being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    78    Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under  Section 2.8(c) [Disbursements, Reimbursement];  (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any  Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein;  (iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any  Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower or any Lender against any beneficiary of a  Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross  claim, defense or other right which any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower or  any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any  transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for  whom any such transferee may be acting), the applicable Issuing Lender or its Affiliates or  any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the  transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying  transaction between any Borrower or Subsidiaries of a Borrower and the beneficiary for  which any Letter of Credit was procured);  (v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or  forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency,  accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or  other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or  alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or  provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the applicable  Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates has been notified thereof;  (vi) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates  under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other  document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;  (vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any  Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating  to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other  characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;  (viii) any failure by the applicable Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates  to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by any Borrower, unless such Issuing  Lender has received written notice from such Borrower of such failure within three (3)  Business Days after such Issuing Lender shall have furnished such Borrower and the  Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no  drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;  (ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets,  condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Borrower or Subsidiaries of a  Borrower;  (x) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any  party thereto;  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    79    (xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with  respect to any Loan Party;  (xii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and  be continuing;  (xiii) the fact that the Expiration Date shall have passed or this Agreement  or the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated;  (xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not  similar to any of the foregoing; and  (xv) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the  availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in  the relevant currency markets generally.  (h) Liability for Acts and Omissions.  As between any Borrower or any  Subsidiary of any Borrower and any Issuing Lender, or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such  Borrower or such Subsidiary of any Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or  misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In  furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for  any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any  Borrower or other Person or property relating therefrom:  (i) the form, validity, sufficiency,  accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with  the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in  any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if such Issuing  Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any  instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or  the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be  invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit,  or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any  conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower  or any Subsidiary of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such  transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower and  any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions  or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, facsimile or  otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any  loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing  under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the  beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit;  or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender or its  Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Official Body, and none of the above  shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Lender’s or its Affiliates rights  or powers hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such  Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to  special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived  by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    80    caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and  other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  Nothing in the  preceding sentence shall relieve any Issuing Lender from liability for such Issuing Lender’s bad  faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in  such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall  any Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower  for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses  (including attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any  property relating to a Letter of Credit.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Issuing Lender and each of its  Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such Issuing  Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a  Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face  to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a  previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant  to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall  be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored,  together with any interest paid by such Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing  that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of  such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered  separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or  to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; and (v) may pay any paying or negotiating  bank that rightfully honored any drawing under the Laws or practices of the place where such bank  is located.  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve any Issuing Lender from liability for  such Issuing Lender’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions  or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (v) of such sentence.  (i) Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements.  Each Issuing Lender shall, on the  fifth Business Day of each month, provide to Administrative Agent and each Borrower a schedule  of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent,  showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount  (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding  month, and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Administrative Agent  may request.  2.9 Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.    (a) Addition of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.  The Company may, at any  time, add as a party to this Agreement any UK Subsidiary or Dutch Subsidiary as a “Foreign  Subsidiary Borrower” by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary  Agreement executed by such Foreign Subsidiary and the Company, and the satisfaction of the  other conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.3 [Designation of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower],  and upon such delivery and satisfaction such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement  be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    81    (b) Removal of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.  Each Foreign Subsidiary  Borrower shall remain a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower until the Company shall have executed and  delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such  Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and a  party to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no Borrowing Subsidiary  Termination will become effective as to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower at a time when any  principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrower shall be outstanding hereunder, provided  that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate the right of such  Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to make further Borrowings under this Agreement.  As soon as  practicable upon receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall  furnish a copy thereof to each Lender.  ARTICLE 3  TERM LOANS  3.1 Term Loan Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying  upon the representations and warranties herein specified, each Lender severally agrees to make a  term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers in Dollars on the Closing Date in such principal  amount as the Borrowers shall request up to, but not exceeding, such Lender’s Term Loan  Commitment.  Term Loans may be Daily Rate Loans or Term Rate Loans, as further provided  herein.  3.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Term Loans; Repayment Terms.    (a) The obligations of each Lender to make Term Loans to the Borrowers shall  equal its Ratable Share of the requested Term Loan; provided that no Lender’s Term Loan to the  Borrowers shall exceed its Term Loan Commitment.  The failure of any Lender to make a Term  Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make a Term Loan nor shall it impose  any additional liability on any other Lender hereunder.  The Lenders shall have no obligation to  make Term Loans hereunder after the Closing Date, and any portion of the Term Loan  Commitment not requested to be drawn on the Closing Date shall automatically expire.  The Term  Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the Borrowers shall not have the  right to borrow, repay and reborrow under Section 3.1 [Term Loan Commitments].  (b) The Borrowers shall repay to the applicable Lenders the aggregate principal  amount of all Term Loans outstanding on the following dates in the respective amounts set forth  opposite such dates (which amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of voluntary and  mandatory prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 5.2 [Voluntary  Prepayments] and Section 5.3 [Mandatory Prepayments]):   Date Amount  March 1, 2023 $625,000  June 1, 2023 $625,000  September 1, 2023 $625,000  December 1, 2023 $625,000  March 1, 2024 $1,250,000  June 1, 2024 $1,250,000  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    82    September 1, 2024 $1,250,000  December 1, 2024 $1,250,000  March 1, 2025 $1,250,000  June 1, 2025 $1,250,000  September 1, 2025 $1,250,000  December 1, 2025 $1,250,000  March 1, 2026 $2,500,000  June 1, 2026 $2,500,000  September 1, 2026 $2,500,000  December 1, 2026 $2,500,000  March 1, 2027 $2,500,000  June 1, 2027 $2,500,000  September 1, 2027 $2,500,000  Term Loan Maturity Date Remaining balance  provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment of the Term Loans shall be repaid  on the Term Loan Maturity Date and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate  principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date.  ARTICLE 4  INTEREST RATES  4.1 Interest Rate Options.  The Borrowers shall pay interest in respect of the  outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the applicable Interest  Rate Option specified below applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loans, or the  Swingline Loans, respectively, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this  Agreement, the Borrowers may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods  to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert  to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans  comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding  more than four (4) Borrowing Tranches of Revolving Credit Loans or more than three (3)  Borrowing Tranches of Term Loans; provided, further, that if an Event of Default exists and is  continuing, the Borrowers may not request, convert to, or renew the Term Rate Loan Option or  Daily Simple RFR Option for any Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that all existing  Borrowing Tranches (i) denominated in Dollars bearing interest under a Term Rate Loan Option  shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option and (ii) denominated in an Alternative  Currency shall either (x) (A) in relation to Term Rate Loans, be converted immediately to the Base  Rate Option denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such  Alternative Currency) at the end of the Interest Period therefor; and (B) in relation to Daily Rate  Loans, be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option or (y) in relation to Term Rate Loans,  be prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period in full, subject in all cases to the obligations  of the Borrowers to pay any indemnity under Section 5.10 [Indemnity] in connection with any  such conversion.  If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender  exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be  limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate.  Interest on the principal amount of each Loan  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    83    denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be paid by the Borrowers in such Alternative  Currency.    (a) Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options.  The Borrowers shall have the right  to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans:  (i) Revolving Credit Loan Term Rate Loan Options:    (1) Term SOFR Rate Option.  In the case of Term SOFR Rate  Loans denominated in Dollars, a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year  of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Term SOFR Rate as determined  for each applicable Interest Period plus the SOFR Adjustment for the applicable  Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term Rate Loans; or  (2) Eurocurrency Rate Option.  In the case of Eurocurrency Rate  Loans denominated in Euros, a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of  360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Eurocurrency Rate as determined  for each applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term Rate  Loans.    (ii) Revolving Credit Loan Daily Rate Loan Options:    (1) Base Rate Option.  In the case of Base Rate Loans  denominated in Dollars, a fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a  year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the  Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Daily Rate Loans, such interest rate to  change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each  change in the Base Rate; or  (2) Daily Simple RFR Option.  With respect to Loans that bear  interest at a rate based on Daily Simple RFR denominated in Sterling, a fluctuating  rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days  elapsed) equal to the Daily Simple RFR for Sterling plus the Applicable Margin for  Daily Rate Loans, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time  effective as of the effective date of each change in the applicable Daily Simple  RFR.  (b) Swingline Loan Interest Rate.  Subject to Section 4.3 [Interest After  Default], the Base Rate Option applicable to Revolving Credit Loans (or such other rate as may be  agreed upon between the Borrower and PNC) shall apply to the Swingline Loans.

The Borrowers shall have the right to  select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Term Loans:    (i) Term Loan Term Rate Interest Option:    (1) Term SOFR Rate Option.

(ii) Term Loan Daily Rate Loan Option:  (1) Base Rate Option. In the case of Base Rate Loans  denominated in Dollars, a fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a  year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the  Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Daily Rate Loans, such interest rate to  change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each  change in the Base Rate.  (d) Rate Quotations.  The Borrowers may call the Administrative Agent on or  before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates  then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the  Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in  effect when the election is made.  (e) Conforming Changes Relating to Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR,  Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR.  With respect to the Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple  SOFR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right  to make Conforming Changes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement from time to time  and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any  amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further  action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that,  the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders of each such  amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly after such amendment  becomes effective.  4.2 Interest Periods.  At any time when the Borrowers shall select, convert to or renew  a Term Rate Loan Option, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof by  delivering a Loan Request at least (i) for a Term SOFR Rate Option with respect to Revolving  Credit Loans or Term Loans denominated in Dollars, three (3) Business Days prior to the effective  date, and (ii) for a Eurocurrency Rate Option with respect to Revolving Credit Loans denominated  in Euros, four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date.  The notice shall specify an Interest  Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply.  Notwithstanding the preceding  sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a  Term Rate Loan Option:  (a) Amount of Borrowing Tranche.  Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under  the Term Rate Loan Option shall be in integral multiples of, and not less than, the respective  amounts specified in Section 2.5(a) [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and  Renewals]; and  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    85    (b) Renewals.  In the case of the renewal of a Term Rate Loan Option at the  end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the  preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.  (c) No Conversion of Alternative Currency Loans. No Loan denominated in  any Currency may be converted into a Loan denominated in a different Currency.  4.3 Interest After Default.  To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an  Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or (b) and until such time such Event of Default shall  have been cured or waived, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or upon written demand  by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent:  (a) Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.  The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate  of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.8(b) [Letter of Credit Fees] or  Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be increased by 2.0% per annum;  (b) Other Obligations.  Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due  shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable to Revolving  Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such  Obligation becomes due and payable until the time such Obligation is paid in full; and  (c) Acknowledgment.  The Borrowers acknowledge that the increase in rates  referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other  amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders  are entitled to additional compensation for such risk.  Additional interest accrued under this Section 4.3 shall be payable by the applicable  Borrowers upon demand by the Administrative Agent.    4.4 Rate Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available; Illegality;  Benchmark Replacement Setting.    (a) Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.  If at any time:  (i) on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period, the Administrative  Agent shall have determined reasonably and in good faith (which determination shall be  conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error) that (x) the Eurocurrency Rate, Term  SOFR Rate or Daily Simple RFR applicable to a Loan (in each case whether in Dollars or  an Alternative Currency) cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof,  including, without limitation, because such rate for the corresponding applicable Currency  is not available or published on a current basis or (y) a fundamental change has occurred  in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to such Currency or with respect  to such rate (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial,  political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), or  (ii) the Administrative Agent determines reasonably and in good faith  (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent demonstrable error) that the  Term SOFR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR with respect to any Currency  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    86    cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on or prior to the first day of any  Interest Period, or  (iii) on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period, the Required  Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term Rate Loan  (in each case whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or a conversion  thereto or a continuation thereof that (A)  deposits in the applicable Currency are not  available to any Lender in connection with such Term Rate Loan, or are not being offered  to banks in the market for the applicable Currency, amount, and Interest Period of such  Term Rate Loan, or (B) the Term Rate Loan Option for any requested Currency or Interest  Period with respect to a proposed Term Rate Loan, as applicable, does not adequately and  fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding, establishing or maintaining such Loan  and, in each case, the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the  Administrative Agent,  then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4(c) [Administrative  Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].  (b) Illegality.  If at any time any Lender shall have determined, or any Official  Body shall have asserted, that the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which any  Interest Rate Option applies, or the determination or charging of interest rates based upon any  Interest Rate Option has been made impracticable or unlawful, by compliance by such Lender in  good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with  any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or  any Official Body has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase,  sell, or take deposits of any Currency in the applicable interbank market for the applicable  Currency, then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4(c)  [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].  (c) Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights.  In the case of any event  specified in Section 4.4(a) [Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] above, the  Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrowers thereof, and in the  case of an event specified in Section 4.4(b) [Illegality] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify  the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances  of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and  certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower.    (i) Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not  be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case  of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such  notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrowers to select, convert to or renew a Loan  under the affected Interest Rate Option in each such Currency shall be suspended (to the  extent of the affected Interest Rate Option, or the applicable Interest Periods) until the  Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later  notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the  case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous  determination no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    87    applicable, hereby agrees to provide promptly after its determination of such circumstances  ceasing to exist).  (ii) If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under  Section 4.4(a) [Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], (a) if the  Borrowers have previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion  to or renewal of a an affected Interest Rate Option, and such Interest Rate Option has not  yet gone into effect, such notification shall (i) with regard to any such pending request for  Loans  denominated in Dollars, be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or  renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans in the  amount specified therein and (ii) with regard to any such pending request for Loans  denominated in an Alternative Currency, be deemed ineffective (in each case to the extent  of the affected Interest Rate Option, or the applicable Interest Periods), (b) any outstanding  affected Loans denominated in Dollars shall be deemed to have been converted into Base  Rate Loans immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable  Interest Period, and (c) any outstanding affected Loans denominated in an Alternative  Currency shall, at the Borrower’s election, either be converted into Base Rate Loans  denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative  Currency) immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end of the applicable  Interest Period or prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Term Rate Loans, at the end  of the applicable Interest Period; provided, however that absent notice from the Borrowers  of conversion or prepayment, such Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate  Loans (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency upon  such date).    (iii) If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination  under Section 4.4(b) [Illegality], the Borrowers shall, subject to the Borrower’s  indemnification Obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender  to which an affected Interest Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either  convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan  (which shall be, with respect to Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in an  amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) or prepay such Loan  in accordance with Section 5.2 [Voluntary Prepayments].  Absent due notice from the  Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the  Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan (which shall be, with  respect to Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in an amount equal to the Dollar  Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) upon such specified date.  (d) Benchmark Replacement Setting.    (i) Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary  herein or in any other Loan Document (and any agreement executed in connection with an  Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this  Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”), if a Benchmark Transition Event and  its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then- current Benchmark for any Currency, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined  in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    88    Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such  Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such  Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or  further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document  and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the  definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such  Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and  under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m.  (Eastern time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark  Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or  consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the  Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice from Lenders  comprising the Required Lenders of each Class of objection to such Benchmark  Replacement.  (ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with  the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the  Administrative Agent may make Conforming Changes from time to time and,  notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any  amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any  further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  (iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The  Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the  implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any  Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption, or  implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Administrative Agent will notify the  Borrowers promptly of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark  pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark  Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the  Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this  Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the  occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take  or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent  demonstrable error and may be made in its or their reasonable good faith discretion  consistent with such determinations, decisions and elections made by the Administrative  Agent or such Lender generally under other credit facilities with respect to which it is the  administrative agent or a lender, as applicable, and without consent from any other party  to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except, in each case, as expressly required  pursuant to this Section.  (iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything  to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection  with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark  is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or  other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the  Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    89    administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of  information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be  representative as of a specific date, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify  the Borrowers thereof and may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar  or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such  unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to  clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for  a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject  to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including  a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of  “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or  after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.  (v) Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of  notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period from the  Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Loan bearing  interest based on the Term SOFR Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or RFR, conversion to or  continuation of Loans bearing interest based on such Interest Rate Option to be made,  converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the  Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of  or conversion to Loans bearing interest under the Base Rate Option upon the applicable  date.  During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then- current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon  the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be  used in any determination of the Base Rate.  (vi) Definitions.  As used in this Section:  “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect  to the then-current Benchmark for any Currency, as applicable, (x) if such  Benchmark for such Currency is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for  such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the  length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any  payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or  component thereof) for such Currency that is or may be used for determining any  frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such  Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not  including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then- removed from the definition of “Interest Period” (and not reinstated) pursuant to  clause (iv) of this Section.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Available Tenor for the  Daily Simple RFR is one month.  “Benchmark” means, initially, with respect to Obligations, interest, fees,  commissions, or other amounts denominated in, or calculated with respect to,  (a) Dollars, the Term SOFR Rate, (b) Sterling, the Daily Simple RFR, or (c) Euros,  the Eurocurrency Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred  with respect to the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    90    applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark  Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.  “Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark  Transition Event, the first applicable alternative set forth in the order below that  can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark  Replacement Date:  (1) Where the Benchmark is Term SOFR Rate, the sum of:  (A) Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the SOFR Adjustment; and   (2) the sum of (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been  selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, giving due consideration  to (x) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the  mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body and/or  (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a  benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for syndicated  credit facilities denominated in the applicable Currency at such time and (B) the  related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;  provided, that if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (2)  above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed  to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;  and provided, further, that any Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively  feasible as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable good faith  discretion.   “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any  replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark  Replacement, the spread adjustment or method for calculating or determining such  spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been  selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration  to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for  calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such  Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the  Relevant Governmental Body and/or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market  convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or  determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with  the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities  denominated in the applicable Currency at such time.  “Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time determined by the  Administrative Agent, which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the  following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark for any Currency:    (1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of  “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (A) the date of the public statement or  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    91    publication of information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the  administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the  calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available  Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or  (2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark  Transition Event,” the date determined by the Administrative Agent, which date  shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information  referenced therein;   For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be  deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any  Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein  with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the  published component used in the calculation thereof).  “Benchmark Transition Event” means, the occurrence of one or more of the  following events, with respect to the then-current Benchmark for any Currency:  (1) a public statement or publication of information by or on  behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used  in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will  cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component  thereof), permanently or indefinitely as of a specific date, provided that, at the time  of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will  continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component  thereof);  (2) a public statement or publication of information by an  Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the regulatory  supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component  used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve  Bank of New York, the central bank for the Currency applicable to such  Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such  Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the  administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with  similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such  Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such  Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available  Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely  as of a specific date, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication,  there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available  Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or  (3) a public statement or publication of information by the  regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published  component used in the calculation thereof) or an Official Body having jurisdiction  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    92    over the Administrative Agent announcing that all Available Tenors of such  Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will  not be, representative.  For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be  deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or  publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then- current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in  the calculation thereof).  “Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning  at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no  Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for any  Currency for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance  with this Section 4.4(d) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” and (y) ending at  the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark  for such Currency for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in  accordance with this Section 4.4(d) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.  “Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark  Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.  4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options.  If a Borrower fails to select a new Interest  Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans in Dollars under any Term Rate Loan Option  at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance  with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], such Borrower shall be deemed to have  converted such Borrowing Tranche to (or, if applicable, continued such Borrowing Tranche to be  subject to) the Term SOFR Rate Option with an Interest Period of one month, as applicable to  Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans as the case may be, commencing upon the last day of the  existing Interest Period.  If a Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any  Borrowing Tranche of Loans in an Alternative Currency under any Term Rate Loan Option at the  expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with  the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], then, unless such Borrowing Tranche is repaid as  provided herein, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Borrowing Tranche  shall automatically be continued under the applicable Term Rate Loan Option in its original  Currency with an Interest Period of one (1) month at the end of such Interest Period.  If a Borrower  provides any Loan Request related to a Loan at the Eurocurrency Rate Option or Term SOFR Rate  Option, but fails to identify an Interest Period therefor, such Loan Request shall be deemed to  request an Interest Period of one (1) month.  Any Loan Request that fails to select an Interest Rate  Option shall be deemed to be a request for the Base Rate Option. If no election as to Currency is  specified in the applicable Loan Request, then the requested Loans shall be made in Dollars.    4.6 Sustainability Adjustments Amendment.  (a) After the Closing Date, the Company may, at any time and from time to  time, submit one or more requests in writing to the Administrative Agent that this Agreement be  amended to include one or more Sustainability Targets and other related provisions (including,  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    93    without limitation, the appointment of a sustainability structuring agent, which shall be subject to  the approval of the Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,  conditioned or delayed) (any such amendment, an “ESG Amendment”).  Each such request shall  be accompanied by the proposed Sustainability Target(s) as prepared by the Company in  consultation with the sustainability structuring agent and may be devised with assistance from the  Sustainability Assurance Provider (as defined below).  Any proposed ESG Amendment shall also  include the related ESG Pricing Provisions (as defined below) and shall identify a sustainability  assurance provider, provided that any such sustainability assurance provider shall be a qualified  external reviewer, independent of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, with relevant expertise,  such as an auditor, environmental consultant and/or independent rating agency of recognized  national standing (the “Sustainability Assurance Provider”).  (b) If the Company elects to seek an ESG Amendment, the Administrative  Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers shall in good faith enter into discussions to reach an  agreement in respect of the proposed Sustainability Targets and Sustainability Assurance Provider,  and any proposed incentives and penalties for compliance and noncompliance, respectively, with  the Sustainability Target(s), including any adjustments to the Applicable Margin (and/or the  applicable Commitment Fee rate and the applicable Letter of Credit Fee rate) (such provisions,  collectively, the “ESG Pricing Provisions”); provided that the amount of any such adjustments  made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in a decrease or an increase of more than  (i) 0.01% in the applicable Commitment Fee rate and/or (ii) 0.05% in the Applicable Margins with  respect to Loans and/or Letter of Credit fees; provided further that (x) in no event shall any of the  Applicable Margins or the applicable Commitment Fee rate and the applicable Letter of Credit Fee  rate be less than 0% at any time and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, such pricing adjustments shall  not be cumulative year-over-year, and each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date  on which the next adjustment is due to take place pursuant to the ESG Pricing Provisions.  Any  ESG Amendment (including the related ESG Pricing Provisions) will become effective once the  Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have executed the ESG  Amendment.  The ESG Pricing Provisions shall follow the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles,  as published in March 2022, and as they may be updated, revised or amended from time to time  by the Loan Market Association and the Loan Syndications & Trading Association (the “SLL  Principles”).  (c) Following the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, any amendment or  other modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing any  Applicable Margin or applicable Commitment Fee rate or the applicable Letter of Credit Fee rate  to a level not otherwise permitted by the immediately preceding paragraph shall be subject only to  the consent of the Required Lenders.  (d) Any ESG Amendment will contain language stating that none of the  Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any sustainability structuring agent have made  any assurances as to (i) whether the facility evidenced by this Agreement meets any Lender’s  criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance or  (ii) whether the characteristics of any Sustainability Targets or key performance indicators to  which the Company will link a potential margin or fee step-up or step-down, including their  environmental and sustainability criteria, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked  credit facilities.

The Administrative Agent’s  statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of demonstrable error,  be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other  amounts owing under this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the  Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement to be made in the  United States to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable Law (as determined in the  reasonable good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent).  If, for any reason, a Borrower is  prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency,  such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative  Currency payment amount.  All fees hereunder, under the Administrative Agent’s Letter, and any  other Loan Document shall be payable in Dollars.  5.2 Voluntary Prepayments.    (a) Right to Prepay.

Whenever the Borrowers desire to prepay any part of the Loans,  they shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. Local Time (i) at  least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term  Loans that bear interest at the Base Rate Option; (ii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the  date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans denominated in Dollars that bear  interest at the Term SOFR Rate Option Rate Option; (iii) at least four (4) Business Days prior to  the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans denominated in Alternative  Currencies that bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate Option; (iv) at least four (4) Business Days  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    95    prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans denominated in  Alternative Currencies that bear interest at the Daily Simple RFR Option; or (v) on the date of  prepayment of Swingline Loans, in each case of the foregoing option in this Section 5.2(a), setting  forth the following information:  (i) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed  prepayment is to be made;  (ii) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the  Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swingline Loans;  (iii) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment among  Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, Term SOFR Rate Option applies, the Daily  Simple RFR Option applies or the Eurocurrency Rate Option applies; and  (iv) the Currency of such Loan and total principal amount of such  prepayment, which shall not be less than the lesser of (A) the Revolving Facility Usage or  (B) $50,000 for any Swingline Loan or $1,000,000 for any Revolving Credit Loan or Term  Loan.   All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable, but may be conditioned upon the effectiveness  of other credit facilities or other transactions specified therein.  The principal amount of the Loans  for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount, shall be  due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed  prepayment is to be made.  All Term Loan prepayments permitted pursuant to this Section 5.2  shall be applied ratably to the unpaid installments of principal of the Term Loans as directed by  the Borrowers.  Except as provided in Section 4.4(c) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s  Rights], if the Borrowers prepay a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche  which the Borrowers are prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (1) first to Revolving Credit  Loans and then to Term Loans; and (2) after giving effect to the allocations in clause (1) above  and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans  to which the Daily Simple RFR Option applies, then to Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate  Option applies and then to Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject  to the Borrowers’ Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.10 [Indemnity].  5.3 Mandatory Prepayments.  (a) Sale of Assets.  In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are  received by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment  Event, the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received,  prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 5.3(c) [Application Among Interest Rate Options]  below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds; provided that if the Company  shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer to the effect that  the Company or its relevant Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a  portion thereof specified in such certificate), in the case of a Prepayment Event described in  clause (a) of the definition thereof, within 365 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire  (or replace, maintain, develop, construct, improve, upgrade, repair or rebuild) real property,  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    96    equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) to be used in the business of the Company  and/or its Subsidiaries, to make Permitted Acquisitions and/or any other investment in a non- Affiliate permitted under Section 9.5 [Investments, Loans, Advances, Guarantees and  Acquisitions] (or, to the extent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enter into a written  commitment to so invest such Net Proceeds during such 365-day period, within 180 days after the  end of such 365-day period), and certifying that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  then, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds  specified in such applicable certificate; provided, further, that to the extent of any such Net  Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such applicable 365-day (or  additional 180-day) period, at such time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such  Net Proceeds that have not been so applied.   (b) Foreign Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Section 5.3 to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment  Event by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event under Section 5.3(a) (a “Foreign  Subsidiary Asset Sale Recovery Event”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from  being repatriated to the United States, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds so  affected will not be required to be paid by the Company at the times provided in this Section 5.3  so long as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Company  hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially  reasonable actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such  repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds would be permitted under the applicable local  law, the Company will promptly (and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the  date that such repatriation would be permitted under applicable local law) prepay the Obligations  in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds, which amount shall be applied to the repayment of the  Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.3 to the extent otherwise provided herein or (ii) to the extent  that the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all Net Proceeds from  such Foreign Subsidiary Asset Sale Recovery Event could reasonably be expected to result in a  material adverse tax consequence to the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to such Net  Proceeds, the Company shall have no obligation to repay an amount equal to such Net Proceeds  so affected until such time that such amounts could be repatriated without incurring such adverse  tax consequence, and once any of such affected Net Proceeds is able to be repatriated to the United  States without such material adverse tax consequence, the Company will promptly (and in any  event not later than ten (10) Business Days after such repatriation would cease to incur such  material adverse tax consequence) prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to such Net  Proceeds, which amount shall be applied to the repayment of the Obligations pursuant to this  Section 5.3 to the extent otherwise provided herein.  (c) Application Among Interest Rate Options.  All prepayments required  pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall first be applied (x) to the unpaid installments of principal of the  Term Loans ratably (including the Incremental Term Loans, if any) in direct order of maturity to  the next eight scheduled amortization payments thereof, and thereafter ratably across the remaining  scheduled installments thereof (in determining such ratable amounts, excluding, for the avoidance  of doubt, the final payment due on the Term Loan Maturity Date for such Term Loans and  Incremental Term Loans, if any), thereafter to the final payment due on the Term Loan Maturity  Date for such Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans, if any, and thereafter to the Revolving  Credit Loans (but without commitment reductions) and (y) among the Interest Rate Options to the  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    97    principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans to which the Daily  Simple RFR Option applies, then to Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies and then  to Loans subject to the Eurocurrency Rate Option.  Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to  the Borrowers’ Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.10 [Indemnity].    (d) Alternative Currencies.  If at any time, (i) other than as a result of  fluctuations in currency exchange rates, (A) the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent  amount of all of the Revolving Credit Exposures (calculated, with respect to those Credit Events  denominated in Alternative Currencies, as of the most recent Revaluation Date with respect to  each such Credit Event) exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) the sum of the  aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent amount of all of the outstanding Revolving Credit Exposures  denominated in Alternative Currencies (the “Foreign Currency Exposure”) (so calculated), as of  the most recent Revaluation Date with respect to each such Credit Event, exceeds the Alternative  Currency Sublimit, or (C) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Revolving Credit Loans  made to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers exceeds the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Sublimit, or  (ii) solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, (A) the sum of the aggregate  principal Dollar Equivalent amount of all of the Revolving Credit Exposures (so calculated)  exceeds 105% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (B) the Foreign Currency  Exposure, as of the most recent Revaluation Date with respect to each such Credit Event, exceeds  105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit or (C) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all  Revolving Credit Loans made to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers exceeds 105% of the Foreign  Subsidiary Borrower Sublimit, the Borrowers shall (x) in the case of clause (i), within one (1)  Business Day after receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent, and (y) in the case of  clause (ii), promptly but in any event within two (2) Business Days after receipt of written notice  from the Administrative Agent, repay Revolving Credit Loan Borrowings or Cash Collateralize  Letter of Credit Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8  [Letter of Credit Subfacility], as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause  (a) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Revolving Credit Exposures (so calculated) to  be less than or equal to the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (b) the Foreign Currency  Exposure to be less than or equal to the Alternative Currency Sublimit, and (c) the aggregate Dollar  Equivalent amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers to be  less than or equal to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Sublimit, as applicable.  (e) Nothing in this Section 5.3 shall be construed as a covenant by any Foreign  Subsidiary to distribute any amounts to any Loan Party or a covenant by the Company or any Loan  Party to cause any Foreign Subsidiary to distribute any amounts to any Loan Party in violation of  applicable law or to the extent any such amount would result in a material adverse tax consequence  (it being understood that this Section 5.3(b) requires only that the Company repay the Obligations  in certain amounts calculated by reference to certain Foreign Subsidiary Asset Sale Recovery  Events).  (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Term Lender may reject all or a  portion of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined  Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 5.3 by  providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the  Company no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, two (2) Business Days after the date of such  Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment.  Each  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    98    Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory  repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender.  If a Term Lender fails to deliver a  Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, such failure  will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.   If a Term Lender delivers a Rejection Notice that fails to specify the principal amount of the Term  Loans to be rejected, such failure will be deemed to be a rejection of the total amount of such  mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.  Any Declined Proceeds remaining shall be retained by the  Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) and may be applied by the Company or such Subsidiary  in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement.  5.4 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders.  Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall  be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or  renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrowers with  respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees (but excluding the  Administrative Agent’s Fee and any Issuing Lender’s fronting fee) shall (except as otherwise may  be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender and except as provided in Section 4.4(c)  [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4 [Rate  Unascertainable; Etc.], Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender] or Section 5.8 [Increased Costs])  be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of  principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, as specified in this Agreement.   Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the  Borrowers of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrowers with respect to  Swingline Loans shall be made by or to the Swingline Loan Lender according to Section 2.6(e)  [Borrowings to Repay Swingline Loans].  5.5 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of  setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien or other any right, by receipt of voluntary payment, by  realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any  principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s  receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest  thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is  entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the  Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the  Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be  equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in  accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective  Loans and other amounts owing them; 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, together with interest or other  amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the  holder making such purchase; and  (ii) the provisions of this Section 5.5 shall not be construed to apply to  (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express  terms of the Loan Documents (including the application of funds arising from the existence  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    99    of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the  assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to  any assignee or participant.  Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under  applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements  may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such  participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of  such participation.  5.6 Administrative Agent’s Clawback.    (a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the  Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any  Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable  Share, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on  such date in accordance with Section 2.6(a) [Making Revolving Credit Loans] or Section 3.2  [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Term Loans; Repayment Terms] and may, in  reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount.  In such  event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the  Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the  Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in the appropriate  Currency with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made  available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at  (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding  Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules  on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the  interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option, or in the case of Alternative  Currencies, in accordance with such market practice, in each case, as applicable.  If the Borrowers  and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping  period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest  paid by the Borrowers for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the  Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in  such Loan.  Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers  may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative  Agent.  (b) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless  the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which  any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing  Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may  assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,  in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may  be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each  of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the  Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such  Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    100    distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of  the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in  accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  5.7 Interest Payment Dates.  As to any Loans to which the Base Rate Option or the  Daily Simple RFR Option for the applicable Currency applies, interest shall be due and payable in  arrears on each Payment Date. As to any Loans to which a Term Rate Loan Option applies, interest  shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest  Period is longer than three (3) months, also at the end of each three-month period during such  Interest Period.  Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 5.3 [Mandatory  Prepayments] shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due.  Subject to any  applicable grace or cure periods, interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary  Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary  Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Expiration Date, upon acceleration or  otherwise). Interest shall be computed to, but excluding, the date payment is due.  5.8 Increased Costs.    (a) Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:  (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,  compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with  or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any  reserve requirement reflected in the applicable interest rate) or any Issuing Lender;  (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified  Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes  and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit,  commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital  attributable thereto; or  (iii) impose on any Lender, any Issuing Lender, or the relevant market,  any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans  made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;  and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other  Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its  obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or  such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of  maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount  of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient  hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender,  such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such Issuing  Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will  compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such  additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (which determination shall be made in good faith  (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    101    applicable Lender, the applicable Issuing Lender or such other Recipient under agreements having  provisions similar to this Section 5.8(a) after consideration of such factors as such Lender, such  Issuing Lender or such other Recipient then reasonably determines to be relevant; provided that  none of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall be  required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection therewith).  (b) Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that  any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such  Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or  liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s  or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding  company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the  Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or  the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or  such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have  achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing  Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company  with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender  or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate  such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company  for any such reduction suffered (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an  arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable  Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank under agreements having provisions similar to this  Section 5.8(b) after consideration of such factors as such Lender or such Issuing Bank then  reasonably determines to be relevant; provided that neither such Lender nor such Issuing Bank, as  applicable, shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection  therewith).  (c) Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing  Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of the amount or amounts necessary to  compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as  specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company substantially  contemporaneously with any demand for payment hereunder and shall be conclusive absent  demonstrable error.  The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may  be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.  (d) Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing  Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such  Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the  Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this  Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred twenty  (120) days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies  the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and demands  compensation therefor in accordance with the terms hereof (except that, if the Change in Law  giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to  above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    102    5.9 Taxes.    (a) Issuing Lenders.  For purposes of this Section 5.9, the term “Lender”  includes the Issuing Lenders and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.  (b) Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any  obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be without deduction or withholding  for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law.  If any applicable Law (as determined in the  reasonable good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or  withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable  Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay  the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable  Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party  shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made  (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this  Section 5.9) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received  had no such deduction or withholding been made.  (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall timely  pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the  Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.  (d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall jointly and  severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full  amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or  attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.9) payable or paid by such Recipient or  required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses  arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly  or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body.  A certificate as to the amount of such  payment or liability accompanied by computations in reasonable detail, or available supporting  documentation, shall be delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative  Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be  conclusive absent demonstrable error.  (e) Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the  Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes  attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified  the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any  of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with  the provisions of Section 12.8(d) [Participations] relating to the maintenance of a Participant  Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable  or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable  expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or  legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body.  A certificate as to the amount of such  payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive  absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and  apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    103    otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any  amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.9(e).  (f) Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes  by any Loan Party to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 5.9, such Loan Party shall deliver  to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official  Body evidencing such payment, if any, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other  evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  (g) Status of Lenders.    (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of  withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver  to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested  by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed  documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will  permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.   In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative  Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably  requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or  the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup  withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the  contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such  documentation (other than such documentation specified in Section 5.9(g)(ii)(1),  Section 5.9(g)(ii)(2) and Section 5.9(g)(ii)(4) 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:  (1) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the  Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent),  executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from  U.S. federal backup withholding tax;  (2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled  to do so, deliver to the Company 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 Company or the Administrative  Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:  (I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits  of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    104    to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of  IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an  exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to  the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other  applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or  W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of,  U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other  income” article of such tax treaty;  (II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;  (III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits  of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,  (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1 to the effect that  such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of  Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any  Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a  “controlled foreign corporation” that is related to any Borrower described  in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)  and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if  applicable); or  (IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial  owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS  Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable), a U.S.  Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P-2 or  Exhibit P-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each  beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a  partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign  Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender  may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of  Exhibit P-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;  (3) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled  to do so, deliver to the Company 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 Company or the Administrative  Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a  basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax,  duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be  prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent  to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and  (4) if a payment made to a 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  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    105    FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as  applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative  Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably  requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation  prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)  of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the  Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and  the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to  determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under  FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.   Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments  made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or  becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly  notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.  (h) Additional United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters.  (i) Subject to clause (ii) below and without limiting the generality of  Section 5.9(g) [Status of Lenders], each Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a  payment to such Lender shall cooperate in promptly completing any procedural formalities  necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without  withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.  (ii) (A)  A Lender on the Closing Date that (x) holds a passport under  the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this  Agreement, shall provide in Part 1 of Schedule 1.1(B) its scheme reference number and its  jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent;  (B) a Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day  on which this Agreement closes that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC  DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this  Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction  of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the  documentation which it executes on becoming a Lender hereunder, and  upon satisfying either (A) or (B) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its  obligation under paragraph (h)(i) above in respect of United Kingdom  withholding Taxes.  (iii) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and  jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (h)(ii) above, no UK Borrower  shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty  Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan  unless the Lender otherwise agrees.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    106    (iv) Each UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP  Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent and the  relevant Lender.  (v) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative  Agent if it determines in its sole discretion (acting reasonably and in good faith) that it  ceases or has ceased to be a UK Treaty Lender.  (i) Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion  exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been  indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.9 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant  to this Section 5.9), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only  to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.9 with respect to the Taxes giving  rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party  and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such  refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in  connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over  pursuant to this Section 5.9(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant  Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such  Official Body.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.9(h), in no event will  the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this  Section 5.9(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net  after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to  indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise  imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had  never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make  available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential)  to the indemnifying party or any other Person.  (j) VAT.  (i) All amounts expressed to  be payable under a Loan Document by  any Party to a Recipient which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any  supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of VAT which is chargeable on that  supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable  on any supply made by any Recipient to a Party under a Loan Document and such Recipient  is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such  Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such  supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Recipient must promptly  provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).  (ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any  Recipient (the “VAT Supplier”) to any other Recipient (the “VAT Recipient”) under a  Loan Document, and any Party other than the VAT Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is  required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration  for that supply to the VAT Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify  the VAT Recipient in respect of that consideration):  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    107    (1) (where the VAT Supplier is the person required to account  to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the  VAT Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal  to the amount of the VAT.  The VAT Recipient must (where this paragraph (1)  applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or  repayment the VAT Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the  VAT Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that  supply; and  (2) (where the VAT Recipient is the person required to account  to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly,  following demand from the VAT Recipient, pay to the VAT Recipient an amount  equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the VAT  Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from  the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.  (iii) Where a Loan Document requires any Party to reimburse or  indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as  the case may be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such  part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Recipient reasonably  determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant  tax authority.  (iv) Any reference in this Section 12.3(j) to any Party shall, at any time  when such Party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT  purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference  to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving  the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in the Value Added Tax Act 1994,  Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member  state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction other than  the United Kingdom or a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a  Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal  unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant  representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time  (as the case may be).  (v) In relation to any supply made by a Recipient to any Party under a  Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Recipient, that Party must promptly  provide such Recipient with details of that Party’s VAT registration and such other  information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Recipient’s VAT reporting  requirements in relation to such supply.  (k) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.9 shall survive the  resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a  Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all  Obligations.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    108    5.10 Indemnity.  In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 5.8  [Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes], the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against all  documented losses, costs or expenses (including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or  expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such  Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from  the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a  consequence of any:  (a) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which (i) a  Term Rate Loan Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest  Period or (ii) the Daily Simple RFR Option applies on a day other than the Payment Date therefor,  in each case whether or not any such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary, or automatic  and whether or not any such payment or prepayment is then due; or  (b) revocation by a Borrower in whole or part any Loan Requests under  Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Conversions and Renewals; Swingline Loan  Requests] or Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.2  [Voluntary Prepayments] or failure by a Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such  Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Loan under  the Base Rate Option on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower,   (c) any assignment of a Loan under (i) a Term Rate Loan Option on a day other  than the last day of the Interest Period therefor or (ii) the Daily Simple RFR Option on a day other  than the Payment Date therefor, as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.13  [Replacement of a Lender]; or  (d) the failure by the Borrowers to make any payment of any Loan or drawing  under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereof) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its  scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency.  If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall promptly notify  the Borrowers of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may  include reasonable good faith assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or  attribution methods) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense.  Such  notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for, and computation of, such determination and  shall be delivered to the Borrowers substantially contemporaneously with the Lender’s demand  for payment.  Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrowers to such Lender ten (10)  Business Days after such notice is given.  5.11 Settlement Date Procedures.  In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the  Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline  Loans and the Swingline Loan Lender may make Swingline Loans as provided in Section 2.1(b)  [Swingline Loan Commitment] hereof during the period between Settlement Dates.  The  Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving  Credit Loans and the Swingline Loans (each, a “Required Share”).  On such Settlement Date, each  Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to the difference between its  Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    109    Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with  respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.  The Administrative Agent shall also effect settlement in  accordance with the foregoing sentence on the proposed Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit  Loans and on any mandatory prepayment date as provided for herein and may at its option effect  settlement on any other Business Day, as applicable.  These settlement procedures are established  solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall  relieve the Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a  Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.1(b) [Swingline Loan Commitment].  The Administrative  Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to pay  immediately to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding  Revolving Credit Loans and each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent to pay  immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the  Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.  5.12 Cash Collateral.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one  (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable  Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize  such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after  giving effect to Section 5.15(a)(iv) [Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure]  and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the  Minimum Collateral Amount.  (a) Grant of Security Interest.  The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by  any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the  benefit of the applicable Issuing Lender, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in  all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations  in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below.  If at any time  the Cash Collateral is subject to any Lien of any Person (excluding the Lien contemplated by the  immediately preceding sentence), or the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the  Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative  Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount  sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (in each case after giving effect to any Cash Collateral  provided by the Defaulting Lender).  (b) Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this  Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 5.12 or Section 5.15 [Defaulting Lender]  in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s  obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash  Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the  Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise  be provided for herein.  (c) Termination of Requirement.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion  thereof) provided to reduce the applicable Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be  required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.12 following (i) the elimination  of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of  the applicable Lender), or (ii) the existence of Cash Collateral in excess of the Minimum Collateral  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    110    Amount; provided that subject to Section 5.15 [Defaulting Lenders] the Person providing Cash  Collateral and such Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future  anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided, further, that to the extent that  such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrowers, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to  the security interest granted pursuant to Section 5.12(a) above.  5.13 Replacement of a Lender.  If (i) any Lender (or any of its Participants) requests  compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], (ii) any Borrowers are required to pay any  Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender (or any of its Participants) or any Official  Body for the account of any Lender (or any of its Participants) pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes],  (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender, or a Disqualified Institution,  (iv) [reserved], (v) [reserved], (vi) [reserved], (vii) any Lender or its parent has become the subject  of a Bail-In Action (or any case or other proceeding in which a Bail-In Action may occur),  (viii) any Lender that is the Swingline Loan Lender or an Issuing Lender shall (A) resign in its  capacity as such, (B) fail to promptly approve the assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment  that the Administrative Agent has approved as contemplated by clause (a) of the proviso below or  (C) fail to promptly approve an Incremental Lender that the Administrative Agent has approved  in the case of any Incremental Loan Commitments as contemplated by Section 5.17 or (ix) any  Lender is an Ineligible Institution at the time it becomes a Lender or any Lender assigns or  participates (or purports to assign or participate) all or any portion of its Loans and/or  Commitments to an Ineligible Institution or a Disqualified Institution in violation of Section 12.8  without the written consent of the Company, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and  effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign  and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and  consents required by, Section 12.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights (other than  its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes])  and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that  shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such  assignment); provided that:    (a) to the extent such consent would be required pursuant to Section 12.8(b),  the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and for  any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Issuing Lenders and Swingline  Loan Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned;   (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the  outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Borrowings, accrued  interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other  Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to  the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the  case of all other amounts); and  (c) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.  Each party hereto agrees that (x) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 5.13 may  be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by the Company, the  Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    111    Assignment and Assumption Agreement by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the  Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (y) the Lender required to make such  assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be  deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the  effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and  deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the  applicable Lender; provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by  the parties thereto.    5.14 Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation  under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or the Borrowers are or will be required to pay any  Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of  any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to  designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its  rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment  of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable  pursuant to Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes], as the case may be, in the future,  and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not  otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable  and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such  designation or assignment.  5.15 Defaulting Lenders.   (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary  contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as  such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:  (i) Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to  approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement  shall be restricted as specified in the definition of Required Lenders.  (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest,  fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such  Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 10  [Default] or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender  pursuant to Section 10.2(b) [Setoff] shall be applied at such time or times as may be  determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts  owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the  payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing  Lender or Swingline Loan Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the applicable  Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance  with Section 5.12 [Cash Collateral]; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no  Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such  Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as  determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative  Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    112    (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to  Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the applicable Issuing Lender’s  future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future  Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 5.12 [Cash  Collateral]; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders  or Swingline Loan Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction  obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Lender or Swingline Loan Lender against such  Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under  this Agreement or any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of  Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any  judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such  Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under  this Agreement; and 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 Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowing in respect of which such Defaulting  Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the  related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions specified in Section 7.2  [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied  solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting  Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter  of Credit Borrowing owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and  funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans  are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable  Facility without giving effect to Section 5.15(a)(iv) [Reallocation of Participation to  Reduce Fronting Exposure].  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable  to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting  Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.15(a)(ii) [Defaulting Lender  Waterfall] shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each  Lender irrevocably consents hereto.  (iii) Certain Fees.  (1) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any  Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender  (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would  have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).  (2) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of  Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to  the extent allocable to its Ratable Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit  for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 5.12 [Cash  Collateral].    (3) With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be  paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (2) above, the Borrowers shall  (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise  payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    113    participation in Letter of Credit Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non- Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender the  amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent  allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender,  and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.  (iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or  any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and  Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance  with their respective Ratable Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s  Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate  Revolving Facility Usage of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting  Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.  Subject to Section 12.12 [Acknowledgement  and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions], no reallocation hereunder shall  constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting  Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim  of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased  exposure following such reallocation.  (v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.  If the reallocation  described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers  shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Law,  (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Loan Lender’s  Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the applicable Issuing Lender’s  Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 5.12 [Cash  Collateral].  (b) Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and  each Swingline Loan Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer  a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of  the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions specified therein (which  may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent  applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such  other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and  funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata  by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving  effect to Section 5.15(a)(iv) [Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure]),  whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will  be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the  Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the  extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting  Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising  from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  (c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a  Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline  Loans unless it is satisfied (in its reasonable good faith discretion) that it will have no Fronting  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    114    Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required  to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied (in its reasonable good  faith discretion) that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.  5.16 Maturity Extensions.    (a) Requests for Extension.  The Borrowers may, no more than two times, by  notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders of such  request and of the Notice Date), which such notice shall not, in the case of a request for extension  of the Expiration Date, be earlier than 30 days prior to the next succeeding Anniversary Date  (unless the Administrative Agent agrees to an earlier date in its reasonable discretion upon the  request of the Borrowers), request that (i) each Lender to the Revolving Credit Facility extend the  Expiration Date then applicable to such Lender (the “Existing Expiration Date”) for an additional  365 days from the Existing Expiration Date and/or (ii) each Lender to the Term Loan Facility  extend the Term Loan Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Term Loan Maturity  Date”) for an additional 365 days from the Existing Term Loan Maturity Date.  (b) Lender Elections to Extend.  Each applicable Lender, acting in its sole and  individual discretion, shall, by written notice to the Administrative Agent given by a date specified  by the Administrative Agent (which such date shall not be earlier than the date that is 10 days  nor  later than 20 days after notice is provided to the applicable Lenders in the case of extensions of the  Expiration Date (the “Notice Date”)), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender  agrees to such extension and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Expiration Date or  Term Loan Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent in  writing of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice  Date) and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice  Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender.  The election of any Lender to agree to such  extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.  (c) Notification by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall  notify the Borrowers in writing of each Lender’s determination under this Section promptly, but  in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the Notice Date.  Upon receipt of the responses  of the applicable Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the date  upon which the relevant extension, if applicable, shall be effective (the “Extension Effective  Date”), which such date shall not (unless agreed by the relevant Lenders and the Administrative  Agent) be earlier than 10 days after the Notice Date.  (d) Additional Commitment Lenders.  The Borrowers shall have the right on or  before the Existing Expiration Date or Existing Term Loan Maturity Date to replace each  Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or  more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) with the approval of the  Administrative Agent (and, with respect to prospective Additional Commitment Lenders under the  Revolving Credit Facility, the Swingline Loan Lender and the Issuing Lenders), each of which  approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Each Additional  Commitment Lender shall have entered into an agreement in form and substance reasonably  satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Additional  Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the Extension Effective Date, undertake either (i) a  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    115    Revolving Credit Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a  Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in addition  to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder on such date) or (ii) Term Loans under  the Term Loan Facility, in each case in replacement of the applicable Non-Extending Lender, and  shall have purchased such Non-Extending Lenders outstanding Loans at par, and each Additional  Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement under  the applicable facility.  (e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the extension of the Expiration Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date pursuant to this Section shall  only be effective with respect to any Lender on the Extension Effective Date if:  (i) in the case of any proposed extension of the Expiration Date, the  total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend  their Expiration Date and the additional Revolving Credit Commitments of the relevant  Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the  Revolving Credit Commitments (excluding the Revolving Credit Commitments of  Defaulting Lenders) in effect immediately prior to the Extension Effective Date;  (ii) in the case of any proposed extension of the Term Loan Maturity  Date, the total of the outstanding Term Loans of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend  the Term Loan Maturity Date shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Term  Loans (excluding the Term Loans of Defaulting Lenders) outstanding immediately prior to  the Extension Effective Date;  (iii) as of the date of such extension, and upon giving effect thereto, the  representations and warranties of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties herein and in  the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless qualified  by materiality or reference to the absence of a Material Adverse Change, in which event  shall be true and correct), except to the extent that such representations and warranties  specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such  earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section, the representations and warranties  contained in Section 6.4 [Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change] shall be  deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 8.1(a) and (b)  [Financial Statements and Other Information] (and, subject to the foregoing qualifications,  the Borrowers and each other Loan Party shall be deemed to have made all such  representations and warranties on the proposed Extension Effective Date);  (iv) no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing  on the date of such extension and upon giving effect thereto;  (v) the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary  legal opinions or other documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted  by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of each Loan Party authorizing  such extension) reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any  such extension;  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    116    (vi) on or before the Expiration Date or Term Loan Maturity Date of  each Non-Extending Lender, (A) the Borrowers shall have paid in full the principal of and  interest on all of the Loans made by such Non-Extending Lender to the Borrowers  hereunder and (B) the Borrowers shall have paid in full all other Obligations (other than  contingent indemnity obligations, Letter of Credit Obligations that have been Cash  Collateralized and other contingent obligations owing under the Loan Documents) then  due and owing to such Lender hereunder and other under the other Loan Documents (it  being understood that after giving effect to this clause (vi) with respect to any Non- Extending Lender, such Non-Extending Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed terminated  on the then-existing Expiration Date or Term Loan Maturity Date and such Non-Extending  Lender shall no longer be a “Revolving Lender” and/or “Term Lender”, as applicable,  hereunder); and  (vii) if such extension is being effectuated in accordance with the  penultimate paragraph of Section 12.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] pursuant  to which the terms of such extended Loans or Commitments are being amended, an  amendment entered into by the parties required by such provision shall have become  effective.  5.17 Incremental Loans.  At any time, the Borrowers may by written notice to the  Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of:  (a) one or more incremental term loan commitments and/or one or more  additional tranches of term loan commitments (any such incremental term loan commitment or  additional tranche of term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) to make  one or more additional term loans (any such additional term loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”);  or  (b) one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments (any such  increase, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment” and, together with the Incremental  Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Loan Commitments”) to make revolving credit loans  under the Revolving Credit Facility (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Credit  Increase” and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Loans”);   provided that (i) the total aggregate principal amount for all such Incremental Loan Commitments  shall not (as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed $300,000,000, (ii) the total aggregate  principal amount for each Incremental Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Loans made  thereunder) shall not be less than a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 or, if less, the  remaining amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), (iii) all such Incremental Term  Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans shall be denominated in Dollars and (iv) no such  Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall increase the Alternative Currency Sublimit.  Each  such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrowers  propose that any Incremental Loan Commitment shall be effective.  The Borrowers may invite  existing Lenders, any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any Approved Fund, and/or any other Person  reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to provide an Incremental Loan Commitment  (any such Person, an “Incremental Lender”); provided that both the Swingline Loan Lender and  the Issuing Lenders shall consent to each Incremental Lender providing any portion of an  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    117    Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,  conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, no Ineligible Institution may  be an Incremental Lender.  Any proposed Incremental Lender offered or approached to provide all  or a portion of any Incremental Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to  provide such Incremental Loan Commitment.  Any Incremental Loan Commitment shall become  effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that:  (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount  Date before or upon giving effect to (1) any Incremental Loan Commitment, (2) the making  of any Incremental Loans pursuant thereto and (3) any Permitted Acquisition  consummated in connection therewith;  (ii) the Borrowers are in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the  financial covenants specified in Section 9.13 [Financial Covenants] (assuming for this  purpose that the aggregate amount of such Incremental Loan Commitments or Incremental  Loans, as applicable, have been fully drawn) based on the financial statements most  recently delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(a) [Financial Statements and Other Information]  or Section 8.1(b) [Financial Statements and Other Information], as applicable, both  immediately before and upon giving effect (on a pro forma basis) to (x) any Incremental  Loan Commitment, (y) the making of any Incremental Loans pursuant thereto (with any  Incremental Loan Commitment being deemed to be fully drawn) and (z) any Permitted  Acquisition consummated in connection therewith;   (iii) each of the representations and warranties contained in Article 6  [Representations and Warranties] shall be true and correct in all material respects, except  to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference  to Material Adverse Change, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true,  correct and complete in all respects, on such Increased Amount Date with the same effect  as if made on and as of such date (except for any such representation and warranty that by  its terms is made only as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty shall remain  true and correct as of such earlier date);  provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to Loans made pursuant to an  Incremental Revolving Credit Increase or Incremental Term Loans the proceeds of which are  intended to and shall be used to finance substantially contemporaneously a Limited Condition  Acquisition, with the consent of each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Revolving  Credit Commitments or Incremental Term Loans, at the option of the Borrowers (notified in  writing to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of execution of the applicable  acquisition agreement), (x) the conditions described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and  (iii) shall be deemed to be satisfied so loan as (1) as of the date of effectiveness of the related  acquisition agreement, no Default is in existence or would result from entry into such agreement,  (2) as of the date of the initial borrowing pursuant to such Incremental Loan Commitments or  Incremental Loans, no Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h), (i), (j) or (q) of Section 10.1  [Events of Default] is in existence immediately before or immediately after giving effect to such  borrowing and to any concurrent transactions and any substantially concurrent use of proceeds  thereof, (3) the representations and warranties set forth in Article VI shall be true and correct in all  material respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) as of the date of effectiveness of the  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    118    applicable acquisition agreement (or, to the extent such representation and warranty is stated to  relate solely to an earlier date, as of such earlier date) and (4) as of the date of the initial borrowing  pursuant to such Incremental Loan Commitments or Incremental Loans, customary “specified”  representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects  if qualified by materiality) immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the  incurrence of such Incremental Loan Commitments or Incremental Loans (or, to the extent such  representation and warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, as of such earlier date), and  (y) the condition in the immediately preceding clause (ii) shall be deemed to be satisfied if such  condition is satisfied on the date of execution of the applicable acquisition agreement on a pro  forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition, recomputed as of the last  day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company for which Financials are available,  as if such acquisition (and any related incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness) had occurred on  the first day of each relevant period for testing such compliance;  (iv) the proceeds of any Incremental Loans shall be used for general  corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (including Permitted  Acquisitions);  (v) any proposed Incremental Lender shall join this Agreement as a  Lender pursuant to a Lender Joinder Agreement;  (vi) each Incremental Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Loans  made thereunder) shall constitute Obligations of the Borrowers and shall be secured and  guaranteed with the other Obligations on a pari passu basis;   (vii) in the case of each Incremental Term Loan:  (1) such Incremental Term Loan will mature and amortize in a  manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Incremental  Lenders making such Incremental Term Loan and the Borrowers, but will not in  any event have a shorter weighted average life to maturity than the remaining  weighted average life to maturity (as reasonably determined by the Administrative  Agent) of the initial Term Loans or a scheduled maturity date earlier than the Term  Loan Maturity Date;  (2) any Incremental Lender making any Incremental Term Loan  shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Term Lenders under the  Term Loan Facility and (unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Incremental  Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall allow the Incremental Term Loans  to be prepaid prior to the initial Term Loans) each Incremental Term Loan shall  receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as the initial Term Loans (such  prepayments to be shared pro rata on the basis of the original aggregate funded  amount thereof); and  (3) all other terms and conditions applicable to such Incremental  Term Loan shall, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 5.17, be  substantially the same as (an in any event no more favorable than) the Revolving  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    119    Credit Loans or the initial Term Loans; provided that (i) the terms and conditions  applicable to any Borrowing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after  the Expiration Date may provide for material additional or different financial or  other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during the periods  after the Expiration Date and (ii) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced  differently (and be subject to different fees) than the Revolving Credit Loans and  the initial Term Loans; and  (viii) in the case of each Incremental Revolving Credit Increase:  (1) such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase shall be part of  the Revolving Credit Facility, shall mature on the Expiration Date, shall bear  interest and shall be entitled to fees, in each case at the rate applicable to the  Revolving Credit Facility, and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and  conditions as the Revolving Credit Facility;  (2) any Incremental Lender making any Incremental Revolving  Credit Increase shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Revolving  Credit Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and (unless otherwise agreed  by the applicable Incremental Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall allow  the Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to the Incremental Revolving  Credit Increase to be terminated prior to termination of the existing Revolving  Credit Commitments) each Revolving Credit Loan funded by an Incremental  Revolving Credit Increase shall receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis  as the existing Revolving Credit Loans (such prepayments to be shared pro rata on  the basis of the original aggregate funded amount thereof); and  (3) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Ratable Shares  of Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations will be reallocated by the  Administrative Agent on the applicable Increased Amount Date among the Lenders  to the Revolving Credit Facility (including the Incremental Lenders providing such  Incremental Revolving Credit Increase) in accordance with their revised Ratable  Shares, and the Lenders to the Revolving Credit Facility (including the Incremental  Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Credit Increase) agree to make all  payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation, and the Borrowers  shall pay any and all costs required.  Incremental Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to such amendments to this Agreement  and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the  Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 5.17, without the consent of any  other Lenders, and the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal  opinions or other documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by the board  of directors (or equivalent governing body) of each Loan Party authorizing such Incremental Loans  and/or Incremental Loan Commitments) reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in  connection with any such transaction.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    120    The Incremental Lenders shall be included in any determination of the Required Lenders and,  unless otherwise agreed, the Incremental Lenders will not constitute a separate voting class for any  purposes under this Agreement.  On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Term  Loan Commitment becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each  Incremental Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make, or be obligated to  make, an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrowers in an amount equal to its Incremental Term  Loan Commitment and shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Term  Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loan made pursuant thereto.  On any Increased  Amount Date on which any Incremental Revolving Credit Increase becomes effective, subject to  the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Revolving  Credit Commitment shall become a Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility hereunder with  respect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment.  ARTICLE 6  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES  The Loan Parties represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each of the  Lenders as of the Closing Date and as of each date (and to the extent) required by Section 7.2 and  Section 7.3, as follows:   6.1 Organization; Powers; Subsidiaries.  Each of the Company and each Loan Party is  duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such concept is  applicable in the relevant jurisdiction), except to the extent that failure to do so (other than with  respect to any Borrower) could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change,  under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry  on its business, in all material respects, as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so,  individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse  Change, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing (to the extent such concept is  applicable) in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.  As of the Closing Date,  Schedule 6.1 hereto identifies each Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization,  as the case may be, and the percentage of issued and outstanding shares of each class of its capital  stock or other equity interests owned by the Company and the other Subsidiaries.  All of the  outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests of each Subsidiary are, if applicable,  validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable.  6.2 Authorization; Enforceability.  The Transactions are within each Loan Party’s  corporate or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate  or other organizational and, if required, shareholder action.  The Loan Documents to which each  Loan Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitute a  legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms,  subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting  creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether  considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.  6.3 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.  The Transactions (a) do not require the  Company or any of its Subsidiaries to obtain or make any consent or approval of, registration or  filing with, or any other action by, any Official Body, except (i) such as have been obtained or  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    121    made and are in full force and effect, (ii) for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to  the Loan Documents, (iii) consents, approvals, registrations, filings or actions the failure of which  to obtain or perform could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change and  (iv) any filing with the SEC that may be required in connection with the Transactions, (b) will not  violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents  of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Official Body applicable to the  Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture,  agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets,  or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Company or any of its  Subsidiaries except for violations, defaults or the creation of such rights that could not reasonably  be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, and (d) will not result in the creation or  imposition of, or the requirement to create any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its  Subsidiaries, other than Liens created under the Loan Documents.  6.4 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.    (a) The Company has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated  balance sheet and statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the  fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2021 reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the  fiscal year ended May 31, 2022 (the financial statements described in clauses (i) and (ii) above,  the “Statements”).  Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial  position and results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries  as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit  adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii)  above.  Other than any liability incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding or liabilities  incurred in the ordinary course of business, in each case, which could not reasonably be expected  to have a Material Adverse Change, the Company and its Subsidiaries have no material contingent  obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in this Section 6.4  to the extent required to be so provided for or disclosed under GAAP.  (b) The Company has heretofore furnished to the Lenders pro forma projections  (including a pro forma closing balance sheet, pro forma statements of operations and cash flows)  covering the period from the Closing Date through August 31, 2026 derived from various  assumptions of the Loan Parties’ management (the “Projections”).  The Projections have been or  will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by the Company to be  reasonable at the time made (it being recognized that the Projections are subject to significant  uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and are not to  be viewed as facts, that actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may  differ from the projected results, that such differences may be material and that no assurance can  be given that any of the Projections will be realized).    (c) Since August 31, 2021, there has been no Material Adverse Change with  respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than any events and  circumstances that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change disclosed in  any public announcement or public filing made by the Company prior to the Closing Date.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    122    6.5 Properties.    (a) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid  leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for minor  defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted  and except where the failure to have such title or other interest could not reasonably be expected  to have a Material Adverse Change.  (b) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all  trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business,  and, to the knowledge of the Company, the use thereof by the Company and its Subsidiaries does  not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that,  individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse  Change.  6.6 Litigation, Environmental and Labor Matters.    (a) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations by or before any  arbitrator or Official Body pending against or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened in  writing against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that could reasonably be expected,  individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change (other than Disclosed  Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.  (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other  matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a  Material Adverse Change, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply  with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other  approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental  Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv)  knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.  (c) There are no strikes, lockouts or concerted slowdowns against the Company  or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to their knowledge, threatened in writing.  The hours worked  by and payments made to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries have not been in  violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign  law relating to such matters except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the  aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change.  All material payments due from the Company  or any of its Subsidiaries, or for which any claim may be made against the Company or any of its  Subsidiaries, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits,  have been paid or accrued as liabilities on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary.  The  consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of  renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement under which the  Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound.  (d) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of  the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased  the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Change.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    123    6.7 Compliance with Laws and Agreements.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries  is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Official Body applicable to it or its  property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property,  except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected  to result in a Material Adverse Change.  6.8 Investment Company Status.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is  an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company  Act of 1940.  6.9 Taxes.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be  filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all  Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by  appropriate action and for which the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on  its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be  expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.  Each of the Dutch Loan Parties is resident for  tax purposes in the Netherlands only (subject to any change thereto from time to time in accordance  with Section 8.4).  6.10 ERISA and Foreign Pension Plans.    (a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when  taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to  occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.  As of the Closing  Date, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the  assumptions used for purposes of GAAP) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial  statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $35,000,000 the fair market value of the  assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded  Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of GAAP) did not, as of the date of the most  recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $35,000,000 the fair  market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.  (b) Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance with all requirements of law  applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan, and  all contributions, insurance premiums, tax and expenses due to and in respect of each Foreign  Pension Plan have been duly paid, except to the extent such non-compliance or failure to pay  contributions could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any  purpose that entails a violation of any of the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, including  Regulations T, U and X.  No Borrower will request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and no  Borrower shall directly or, to its knowledge, indirectly use, and the Company shall procure that its  Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not directly  or, to the Company’s knowledge or applicable Subsidiary’s knowledge, indirectly use, and no  Borrower shall lend, contribute, or otherwise make available to any other Person, the proceeds of  any Borrowing or Letter of Credit (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or  authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in  violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding or financing any activities,  business or transaction of, with, or for the benefit of any Sanctioned Person in violation of any

(a) Material Domestic Subsidiaries.    (i) As promptly as possible but in any event within forty-five (45) days  (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent) after any Person  becomes a Material Domestic Subsidiary (including as a result of a Division, with respect  to each applicable Division Successor) or any Subsidiary qualifies independently as, or is  designated by the Company as, a Material Domestic Subsidiary pursuant to the definition  of “Material Domestic Subsidiary”, the Company shall provide the Administrative Agent  with written notice thereof and shall cause each such Subsidiary to deliver to the  Administrative Agent a joinder to the Guaranty Agreement and the Security Agreement (in  each case, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) pursuant to which such Subsidiary  agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof, such Guaranty Joinder to be  accompanied by appropriate corporate resolutions, other corporate documentation and  legal opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent  and its counsel.  (ii) If at any time the aggregate amount of Consolidated Operating  Income or Consolidated Total Assets (other than Equity Interests in Subsidiaries) of the  Company and the Guarantors that are Domestic Subsidiaries of the Borrowers shall fail to  represent (after the elimination of intercompany items) at least 80% of the aggregate  amount of Consolidated Operating Income or Consolidated Total Assets (other than Equity  Interests in Subsidiaries) of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries,  as of the end of  any such fiscal quarter, as promptly as possible but in any event within forty-five (45) days  (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent) after such  occurrence the Company shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice  thereof and shall cause sufficient additional Domestic Subsidiaries to deliver to the  Administrative Agent a joinder to the Guaranty Agreement and the Security Agreement (in  each case substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) pursuant to which each such  Subsidiary agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof, such Guaranty Joinder  to be accompanied by appropriate corporate resolutions, other corporate documentation  and legal opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative  Agent and its counsel.  (b) Material Foreign Subsidiaries.  (i) If, at any time after the Closing Date, but subject to Section 8.12  [Post-Closing Matters], any First Tier Foreign Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary  listed on Schedule 6.1) shall constitute a Material Foreign Subsidiary, then within sixty  (60) days after the date such Foreign Subsidiary becomes a Material Foreign Subsidiary  (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent) the Company shall  provide the Administrative Agent with written notice thereof and shall, and/or shall cause  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    136    each Domestic Subsidiary to, if and to the extent that each of them holds any Equity Interest  in such Material Foreign Subsidiary not constituting an Excluded Asset, execute and  deliver to the Administrative Agent a new Foreign Law Pledge Agreement (as determined  by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), together with such supporting  documentation (including, without limitation, additional Collateral Documents,  authorizing resolutions, powers of attorney and/or opinions of counsel) as the  Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create a perfected, first priority  security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Equity Interests in such Material  Foreign Subsidiary, provided that such pledges, individually or collectively, with respect  to any Foreign Subsidiary shall not exceed, at any time, the Applicable Pledge Percentage  in respect of such Foreign Subsidiary.  The Company or any applicable Domestic  Subsidiary shall not be required to execute and deliver a Foreign Law Pledge Agreement  pursuant to this Section 8.9(b)(i) if such entity directly holds 35% or less of the Voting  Equity Interests in such Foreign Subsidiary and, as a result of the limitation set forth in the  preceding sentence, the Company can comply with this Section 8.9(b)(i) without the pledge  of such Voting Equity Interests.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Foreign Law  Pledge Agreement in respect of the Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary (or  reaffirmation of an existing Foreign Law Pledge Agreement on the Closing Date) shall be  required hereunder to the extent the Administrative Agent or its counsel determines that  such pledge would not provide material credit support for the benefit of the Secured Parties  pursuant to legally valid, binding and enforceable pledge agreements.  (ii) Without limiting the foregoing requirements of this Section 8.9(b)  but subject to Section 8.12 [Post-Closing Matters], all of the Equity Interests of a Foreign  Subsidiary Borrower, to the extent not constituting Excluded Assets, shall be pledged to  the Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations owing by such Foreign Subsidiary  Borrower and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each other Foreign Subsidiary  Borrower.  If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Company or any Subsidiary shall  possess any such Equity Interests of any such Subsidiary not constituting Excluded Assets  (other than to the extent such Equity Interests are already subject to the Lien under the  applicable Collateral Documents), the Company shall promptly notify the Administrative  Agent thereof and the Company shall, and/or shall cause each Subsidiary to, if and to the  extent that each of them holds any such Equity Interest in any such Subsidiary, reasonably  promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a new Foreign Law Pledge  Agreement (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion), together with  such supporting documentation (including, without limitation, additional Collateral  Documents, authorizing resolutions, powers of attorney and/or opinions of counsel) as the  Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to create a perfected, first priority  security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in all of such Equity Interests in such  Subsidiary securing the Obligations owing by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower  and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each other Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) any pledge of any such Equity  Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary in excess of the requirements in Section 8.9(b)(i) shall  secure solely the Obligations of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers and, if applicable,  amounts owed under any such Foreign Law Pledge Agreement and (y) no such Foreign  Law Pledge Agreement in respect of the Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary shall be  required hereunder to the extent the Administrative Agent or its counsel determines that  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    137    such pledge would not provide material credit support for the benefit of the Secured Parties  pursuant to legally valid, binding and enforceable pledge agreements.  (c) Guarantees of Other Obligations. If, at any time after the Closing Date, any  Domestic Subsidiary of the Company that is not party to the Guaranty Agreement shall become  party to a guaranty of any Material Indebtedness of the Company, the Company shall promptly  notify the Administrative Agent thereof and cause such Subsidiary to comply with Section 8.9(a)  [Material Domestic Subsidiaries] (but without giving effect to the 45-day grace period provided  therein).   (d) Foreign Pension Plans.  (i) Each Foreign Pension Plan will be operated after the Closing Date  in compliance with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective  requirements of the governing documents for such plan, and all contributions, insurance  premiums, tax and expenses due to and in respect of each Foreign Pension Plan will be  duly paid, in each case except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material  Adverse Change.  The Company shall ensure that any Foreign Pension Plan that requires  to be funded is funded in accordance with all requirements of law in that jurisdiction, except  where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be  expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, and that no action or omission is taken  by any member of the Group in relation to such a Foreign Pension Plan which could  reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change (including, without limitation,  the termination or commencement of winding-up proceedings of any such Foreign Pension  Plan).  (ii) The Company shall ensure that the Company, its ERISA Affiliates  or any of their Subsidiaries (including any UK Relevant Entity) is not, or at any time after  the Closing Date will be, an employer (for the purposes of sections 38 to 51 of the United  Kingdom Pensions Act 2004) of an occupational pension scheme which is not a money  purchase scheme (both terms as defined in the United Kingdom Pension Schemes Act  1993) or “connected” with or an “associate” of (as those terms are used in sections 38 or  43 of the United Kingdom Pensions Act 2004) such an employer, in each case, except as  could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.  (iii) [Reserved.]  (iv) The Company or the relevant UK Relevant Entity (as appropriate)  shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any material change in the rate of  contributions to Foreign Pension Plans paid or recommended to be paid (whether by the  scheme actuary or otherwise) or required (by applicable law or otherwise) that could  reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.  (v) The Company or the relevant UK Relevant Entity (as appropriate)  shall promptly, and in any event in no less than ten (10) Business Days, notify the  Administrative Agent if it receives a Financial Support Direction or a Contribution Notice

Without limiting the generality of  the foregoing, the Company will cause the Applicable Pledge Percentage of the issued and  outstanding Equity Interests of each Subsidiary directly owned by the Company or any Subsidiary  Guarantor, to the extent not constituting Excluded Assets, to be subject at all times to a first  priority, perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in favor of the Administrative Agent to secure  the Obligations to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents or  such other pledge and security documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request,  subject to the limitations provided in this Section 8.9 or in any Collateral Document.  (f) Further Assurances.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will, and  will cause each Subsidiary to, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the  Administrative Agent such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be  taken such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other  documents and such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Section 7.1 [Initial Loans  and Letters of Credit], as applicable), which may be required by applicable law or which the  Administrative Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and  conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority  of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, all at the expense of  the Company, subject to the limitations provided in this Section 8.9 or in any Collateral Document.  (g) Additional Collateral.  If any material personal property is acquired by the  Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor after the Closing Date (other than (x) assets constituting  Collateral under any Collateral Document that become subject to the Lien under such Collateral  Document upon acquisition thereof and (y) any Excluded Assets), the Company will promptly  notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the  Company will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations (or, subject to  the provisions of this Agreement, all or any Foreign Obligations) and will take, and cause the  Subsidiary Guarantors to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the  Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (g)  of this Section, all at the expense of the Company, subject to the limitations provided in this  Section 8.9 or in any Collateral Document.  8.10 Accuracy of Information.  The Company will ensure that any written information,  including financial statements or other documents, furnished by or on behalf of the Company or  any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or  any amendment or modification hereof or waiver hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other  information so furnished from time to time), when taken as a whole, does not contain any material  misstatement of fact regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or omits to state any material  fact regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries necessary to make the statements therein, in

From and after the date on which the Administrative  Agent has taken any action pursuant to Section 10.2(c) [Enforcement of Rights and Remedies] (or  after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit  Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as specified in the proviso  to Section 10.2(a)) and until the Facility Termination Date, any and all proceeds received on  account of the Obligations shall (subject to Section 5.15 [Defaulting Lenders] and Section  10.2(a)(iii) [Generally]) be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:  (a) First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees (other  than Letter of Credit Fees), indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees,  payable under Section 12.3 to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, each Issuing Lender  in its capacity as such and the Swingline Loan Lender in its capacity as such, ratably among the  Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and Swingline Loan Lender in proportion to the  respective amounts described in this clause First payable to them;  (b) Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,  indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to  the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees payable under Section 12.3,  ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second  payable to them;  (c) Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued  and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees, Commitment Fees and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement

Amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of  Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of  Credit as they occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit  have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other  Obligations, if any, in the order specified above.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.3, no Swap Obligations of any  Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with amounts received from such Non-Qualifying Party under  the Guaranty Agreement (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with  respect to the Guaranty Agreement) or from the proceeds of such Non-Qualifying Party’s  Collateral if such Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities; provided that to  the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments and/or the  proceeds of Collateral from other Loan Parties that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect  to such Swap Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise specified above in  this Section 10.3.  In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Lender Provided Interest  Rate Hedges, Lender Provided Foreign Currency Hedges, and Other Lender Provided Financial  Service Products shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative  Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation, as the  Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or  Hedge Bank, as the case may be.  Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to the  Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice,  be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent  pursuant to the terms of Article 11 [The Administrative Agent] hereof for itself and its Affiliates  as if a “Lender” party hereto.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    166    ARTICLE 11  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT  11.1 Appointment and Authority.  (a) Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably  appoints PNC Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent  hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take  such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent  by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental  thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the  Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither any  Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such  provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan  Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended  to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of  any applicable Law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to  create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.  (b) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any  documents necessary or appropriate to create and perfect the rights of pledge for the benefit of the  Secured Parties including a right of pledge with respect to the entitlements to profits, the balance  left after winding up and the voting rights of the Company as ultimate parent of any subsidiary of  the Company which is organized under the laws of the Netherlands and the Equity Interests of  which are pledged in connection herewith (a “Dutch Pledge”).  The parties hereto acknowledge  and agree that, for purposes of a Dutch Pledge, any resignation by the Administrative Agent is not  effective until its rights under and obligations with respect to the Parallel Debts are assigned to  and assumed by the successor Administrative Agent.  11.2 Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder  shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may  exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or  “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,  include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such  Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the  financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business  with, any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the  Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  11.3 Exculpatory Provisions.  (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except  those expressly specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall  be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative  Agent:  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    167    (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,  regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;  (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise  any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated  hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to  exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage  of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents);  provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its  opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or  that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of  doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief  Law or that may cause a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting  Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and  (iii) shall not, except as expressly specified herein and in the other Loan  Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,  any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated  to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in  any capacity.  (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not  taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or  percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in  good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.1 [Modifications;  Amendments or Waivers] and Section 10.2 [Consequences of Event of Default]), or (ii) in the  absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a court of  competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be  deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice  describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by a  Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.  (c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to  ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection  with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or  other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the  performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions  specified herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity,  enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any  other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition specified in  Article 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] or elsewhere herein, other than  to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.  11.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to  rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,  statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or  intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably and in good faith believed by it to be  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    168    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  reasonably and in good faith 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, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that  by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the  Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such  Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from  such Lender or such Issuing Lender 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  Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it in its commercially  reasonable judgment, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith by it in  accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.  11.5 Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its  duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or  through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative  Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and  powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article  shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any  such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of  the Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be  responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of  competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative  Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub- agents.  11.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.    (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time resign as such by giving at least  30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrowers.  Upon  receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a  successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the contiguous United States, or an Affiliate of  any such bank with an office in the contiguous United States.  If no such successor shall have been  so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days  after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall  be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring  Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing  Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications specified above;  provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender  or a Disqualified Institution.  In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written  approval of the Company (which approval shall not be required while an Event of Default has  occurred and is continuing under Section 10.1(a), (b), (h), (i), (j) or (q)).  Whether or not a  successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such  notice on the Resignation Effective Date.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    169    (b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender  pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders and the Company may, to  the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to such Person remove such Person  as Administrative Agent and appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so  appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall  be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall  nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.  (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective  Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its  duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any  indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments,  communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative  Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until a  successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance  of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to  and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed  Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or  removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be  discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.   The fees payable by the 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.   After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under  the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.3 [Expense; Indemnity;  Damage Waiver] 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 actions taken or omitted  to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as  Administrative Agent.  11.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and each  Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the  Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such  documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision  to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will,  independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of  their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time  deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based  upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document  furnished hereunder or thereunder.  11.8 No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the  bookrunners or arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or  responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,  as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder.  11.9 Administrative Agent’s Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent  a nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”) under and subject to the terms of that  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    170    certain Fee Letter, dated as of August 4, 2022 (the “Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the  Borrowers and Administrative Agent, as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented  or otherwise modified from time to time.  11.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any  proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan  Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of  Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise  and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the  Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding  or otherwise:  (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest  owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations 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 Lenders and the Administrative Agent  (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of  the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and  counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent  under Section 2.8(b) [Letter of Credit Fees] and Section 12.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage  Waiver]) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and  (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable  on any such claims and to distribute the same;  and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in  any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Lender to make  such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall  consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, to pay to  the Administrative Agent any amount due for such reasonable compensation, expenses,  disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other  amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Section 12.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage  Waiver].  11.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.    (a) Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Administrative  Agent, at its option and in its discretion,  (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the  Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (w) upon the Facility Termination Date,  (x) that is sold or otherwise Disposed of or to be sold or otherwise Disposed of as part of  or in connection with any sale or other Disposition permitted under the Loan Documents,  (y) that constitutes Excluded Assets or (z) subject to Section 12.1 [Modifications;  Amendment or Waivers], if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required  Lenders;

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will  confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in  particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the  Guaranty Agreement and other Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 11.11.  In each case as  specified in this Section 11.11, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, promptly  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 any Liens granted under  the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor  or Subsidiary from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the  terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 11.11.  (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to  ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or  collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s  Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the  Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain  any portion of the Collateral.  11.12 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

NAI-1532280773v19    174    this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, or the Commitments for an  amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans or the Commitments by such  Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions  contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment  fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees,  administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit  fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term  out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar  to the foregoing.  11.15 Erroneous Payments.  (a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, an Issuing Lender or Secured  Party, or any Person who has received funds for the account of a Lender, an Issuing Lender or  Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment  Recipient”), that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole good faith discretion (whether  or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received  by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously  transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient  (whether or not known to such Lender, such Issuing Lender, Secured Party or other Payment  Recipient for its account) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or  repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an  “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof),  such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and  shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative  Agent, and such Lender, such Issuing Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any  Payment Recipient who received such funds for its account, shall cause such Payment Recipient  to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the  Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which  such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest  thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion  thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the  Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a  rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on  interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any  Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error.  (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, each  Issuing Lender or Secured Party, or any Payment Recipient who has received funds for the account  of a Lender, an Issuing Lender or Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment,  prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal,  interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates)  (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of  payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with  respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by  a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its  Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party, or other Payment Recipient,  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    175    otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part)  in each case:  (i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y), an error  shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative  Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding  clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and  (ii) such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause  any other Payment Recipient that receives funds for its respective account to) promptly  (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the  Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details  thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant  to this Section 11.15(b).  (c) Each Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the  Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such  Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or  distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party from  any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding  clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.  (d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered  by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in  accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or any Issuing Lender that  has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient  who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for its respective account) (such  unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative  Agent’s notice to such Lender or such Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or such Issuing  Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class  with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted  Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount  as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments)  of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at  par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the  Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to  execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such Erroneous  Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or such Issuing Lender shall promptly deliver  any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the  Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment  Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the  assignee Lender shall become a Lender or an Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect  to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing  Lender shall cease to be a Lender or an Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to  such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its  obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable  Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender and  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    176    (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject  to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  The Administrative Agent may, in its  discretion, and subject to obtaining any consent required by Section 12.8 hereof (each such consent  not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an  Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the  Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or the applicable Issuing  Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the  Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or such  Issuing Lender (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds for its respective  account).  For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce  the Commitments of any Lender or any Issuing Lender and such Commitments shall remain  available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, each party hereto agrees  that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof)  acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether  the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be  contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuing Lender or  Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return  Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).  (e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay,  repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan  Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the  amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative  Agent from any Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous  Payment.  (f) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall  assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive,  any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand,  claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment  received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any  similar doctrine.  (g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.15  shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the  Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion  thereof) under any Loan Document.  (h) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.15 shall not prohibit the  Borrowers from requesting and receiving the proceeds of Loans pursuant to the terms and  conditions of this Agreement.  11.16 Parallel Debt.    (a) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay  to the Administrative Agent amounts equal to its Corresponding Obligations as they may exist  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    177    from time to time (each, a “Parallel Debt”).  Each Parallel Debt will become due and payable at  the same time as the corresponding Corresponding Obligation becomes due and payable.  (b) The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.16 are several  and independent from any right that a Secured Party may have under the Loan Documents.  (c) An amount paid by a Loan Party to the Administrative Agent in respect of  a Parallel Debt will discharge the liability of that Loan Party under the corresponding  Corresponding Obligation in an equal amount.  (d) The aggregate amount outstanding under the Parallel Debts will never  exceed the aggregate amount outstanding under the Corresponding Obligations.  (e) For the purpose of this Section 11.16 the Administrative Agent acts as a  creditor of the Parallel Debts.  11.17 French Security.  Each Secured Party listed as a beneficiary of the security interest  under the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of France, on behalf of itself and its  Affiliates, hereby (as mandant):  (a) appoints the Administrative Agent to act as agent (mandataire) (with full  power to appoint and to substitute and to delegate subject to the prior written consent of the  Secured Parties listed as beneficiaries of the security interest under the Collateral Documents  governed by the laws of France) on its behalf to do anything upon the terms and conditions set out  in this Agreement under or in connection with the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of  France;  (b) confirms its approval of the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of  France creating or expressed to create a Lien benefiting to it and any Lien created or to be created  pursuant thereto and irrevocably authorises (with power of delegation), empowers and directs the  Administrative Agent (by itself or by such person(s) as it may nominate) to execute for and on its  behalf the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of France, to perform the duties and to  exercise the rights, powers and discretions that are specifically delegated to it under or in  connection with such Collateral Documents, together with any other rights, powers and discretions  which are incidental thereto and to give a good discharge for any moneys payable under such  Collateral Documents; and  (c) acknowledges that the Administrative Agent has been appointed by it to  constitute, register, manage, enforce the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of France  (including any security interest (sûreté réelle) granted by any Loan Party under the laws of France)  granted in order to secure the performance and payment of the Secured Obligations according to  the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of France and agrees that the Administrative Agent  may exercise the rights and perform the obligations assumed by it pursuant to its nomination in  accordance with applicable law from time to time.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    178    ARTICLE 12  MISCELLANEOUS  12.1 Modifications, Amendments or Waivers.  With the written consent of the Required  Lenders (or as expressly provided by Section 5.17 [Incremental Loans]), the Administrative Agent,  acting on behalf of all the Lenders, and the Borrowers, on behalf of the Loan Parties, may from  time to time enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement  or any other Loan Document or the rights of the Lenders or the Loan Parties hereunder or  thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents hereunder or thereunder.  Any such  agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent shall be effective to bind all the  Lenders and the Loan Parties; provided that no such agreement, waiver or consent may be made  which will:  (a) Increase of Commitment.  Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit  Commitment or Term Loan Commitment of any Lender hereunder without the consent of such  Lender (other than as permitted under Section 5.17 [Incremental Loans]), provided that an  amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant,  mandatory prepayment, Event of Default or Default shall not constitute an increase in the  Commitment of any Lender;  (b) Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal, Interest or Fees;  Modification of Terms of Payment.  Whether or not any Loans are outstanding, extend the  Expiration Date or the scheduled time for payment of principal or interest of any Loan, the  Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Lender (it being understood and agreed that no  amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent,  covenant, mandatory prepayment, Event of Default or Default, in any such case, shall be  considered an extension or postponement of any date for any such payment or an extension of the  Expiration Date); or reduce the principal amount of or the stated rate of interest borne by any Loan  (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or  reduce the stated rate of the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Lender, without the  consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (provided that (x) neither (A) any amendment or  modification of the financial ratios in this Agreement (or the defined terms used in such financial  ratios) nor (B) any amendment entered into pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.4 shall  constitute a reduction in the stated rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (b) even if the  effect of such amendment or modification would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or  to reduce any fee payable hereunder and (y) only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be  necessary to reduce or waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest or any other amount  at the applicable default rate set forth in Section 4.3 or to amend Section 4.3);  (c) Release or Subordination of Collateral or Guarantor.  Except for sales of  assets permitted by Section 9.4 [Dispositions], release or subordinate all or substantially all of the  Collateral or release or subordinate all or substantially all the value of the Guarantors from their  Obligations under the Guaranty Agreement (other than, in each case, in accordance with the terms  of Section 11.11 or as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents), in each case without the  consent of all Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders); or  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    179    (d) Miscellaneous.  Amend Section 5.4 [Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders],  Section 11.3 [Exculpatory Provisions], Section 5.5 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders],  Section 10.3 [Application of Proceeds] or this Section 12.1, alter any provision requiring all  Lenders to authorize the Borrower or any other Loan Party to assign or otherwise transfer any of  its rights or obligations hereunder, alter any provision regarding the pro rata treatment of the  Lenders or requiring all Lenders to authorize the taking of any action or reduce any percentage  specified in the definition of “Required Lenders”, in each case without the written consent of all  of the Lenders;  provided that (i) no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the interests, rights or  obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, or the Swingline Loan Lender may  be made without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the  Swingline Loan Lender, as applicable, and (ii) the Administrative Agent’s Letter may be amended,  or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto, and  provided, further, that, if in connection with any proposed waiver, amendment or modification  referred to in Section 12.1(a) through Section 12.1(d) above, there is a Non-Consenting Lender,  then the Borrowers shall have the right to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender with one or  more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender].  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary herein, (1) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or  disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent  which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected  with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except with respect to  any amendment, waiver, consent or modification referred to in Sections 12.1(a) or (b) and then  only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly and adversely affected by such  amendment, waiver or consent in a non-ratable manner; and (2) as to any amendment, amendment  and restatement or other modification otherwise approved in accordance with this Section, it shall  not be necessary to obtain the consent or approval of any Lender that, upon giving effect to such  amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification, would have no Commitment or  outstanding Loans, so long as such Lender receives payment in full of the principal of and interest  on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of  such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the time such amendment,  amendment and restatement or other modification becomes effective.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended to extend  (x) the Expiration Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments of Lenders under the  Revolving Credit Facility that agree to such extension with respect to their Revolving Credit  Commitments with the written consent of each such approving Lender, the Administrative Agent  and the Borrowers (and no other Lender) and, in connection therewith, to provide for different  rates of interest and fees under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to the portion of the  Revolving Credit Commitments with an Expiration Date so extended; and/or (y) the Term Loan  Maturity Date with respect to applicable Lenders that agree to such extension with respect to their  Term Loans with the written consent of each such approving Lender, the Administrative Agent  and the Borrowers (and no other Lender) and, in connection therewith, to provide for different  rates of interest and fees under the Term Loan Facility with respect to the portion thereof with a  Term Loan Maturity Date so extended; provided that in each such case any such proposed  extension of the Expiration Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date shall have been offered to each  Lender with Loans or Commitments under the applicable Facility proposed to be extended, and if  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    180    the consents of such Lenders exceed the portion of Commitments and Loans the Borrowers wish  to extend, such consents shall be accepted on a pro rata basis among the applicable consenting  Lenders.  This paragraph shall apply to any Incremental Term Loans in the same manner as it  applies to the Term Loan Facility; provided that any such offer may, at the Borrowers’ option, be  made to the Lenders in respect of any tranche or tranches of Incremental Term Loans and/or any  Term Loan Facility without being made to any other tranche of Incremental Term Loans or the  Term Loan Facility, as the case may be.  In addition, notwithstanding any provision in any Loan Document to the contrary, (a) with the  prior written consent of the Borrowers, (i) the Administrative Agent may amend, modify or  supplement any Loan Document to correct or cure any ambiguity, omission, inconsistency or  defect or correct any typographical or ministerial error in any Loan Document, and (ii) the  Administrative Agent may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document in connection with  the designation of an Additional Borrower in accordance with Section 12.15 to address local law  considerations to the extent reasonably necessary or customary in the applicable jurisdiction, and  (b) without the consent of any Lender or the Borrowers, within a reasonable time after (i) the  effective date of any increase or addition to, extension of or decrease from, the Revolving Credit  Commitment, or (ii) any assignment by any Lender of some or all of its Revolving Credit  Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, revise Schedule 1.1(B)  to reflect such change, whereupon such revised Schedule 1.1(B) shall replace the old  Schedule 1.1(B) and become part of this Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent  agrees to notify the Borrowers promptly after any such amendment. Notwithstanding any provision  in any Loan Document to the contrary, each amendment pursuant to clause (a) and/or (b) of this  paragraph shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to the  Loan Documents.  12.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies.  No course of dealing and no delay or  failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or  privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future  exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof  preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.  The  enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders specified in  this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and  the Lenders of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies,  all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given  hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity  or by suit or otherwise.  No reasonable delay or failure to take action on the part of the  Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a  waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege  preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege  or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.  12.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.    (a) Costs and Expenses.  Each Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and  documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates  (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    181    primary outside counsel (and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for the  Administrative Agent and its Affiliates), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities  provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this  Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the  provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall  be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any  Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of  Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket  expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender (including the  fees, charges and disbursements of one primary outside counsel (and one local counsel in each  applicable jurisdiction and, in light of actual or reasonably perceived conflicts of interest or the  availability of different claims or defenses (in each case as reasonably determined by the applicable  Lenders), one additional primary and applicable local counsel for each similarly affected group of  Lenders) representing all of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender), in  connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement  and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with  the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and  documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in  respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and (iv) except as otherwise expressly provided in the  Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 8.6 of this Agreement), all reasonable and  documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent’s regular employees and agents  engaged periodically to perform audits of the Loan Parties’ books, records and business properties.

NAI-1532280773v19    182    by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any affiliate of any such party, and regardless of  whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including any preparation of a defense in connection  therewith; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent  that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of  competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith,  gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (y) are  determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have  resulted from a breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Parties’ obligations  hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (z) result from any dispute solely between or  among Indemnitees or their Related Parties (other than claims against any Indemnitee acting in its  capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent, Joint Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner  or any similar role under the Loan Documents, and other than claims to the extent arising out of  any act or omission on the part of the Borrowers or their Affiliates).  A Person seeking to be  indemnified under this Section shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrowers  of any event requiring indemnification within 30 days following such Person’s receipt of notice of  commencement of any action or proceeding, or such Person’s obtaining knowledge of the  occurrence of any other event, giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, and  furthermore such Person agrees to notify the Borrowers from time to time of the status of any such  action or proceeding; provided, that the failure to so notify the Borrowers shall not affect the  Borrowers’ duties or obligations under this Section. This Section 12.3(b) shall not apply with  respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any  non-Tax claim.  (c) Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason  fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid  by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Lender, the Swingline  Loan Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to  the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender, such Swingline Loan  Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of  the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each  Lender’s Ratable Share at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount  in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts  owed to each Issuing Lender or the Swingline Loan Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the  Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such  payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Ratable Share of the Revolving  Credit Facility (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity  payment is sought) provided, further, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,  damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the  Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Loan Lender  in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the  Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Loan Lender  in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are  subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving  Credit Loans].  (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by  applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    183    any other party hereto, on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive  damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result  of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated  hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, any Letter of Credit, or the use  of the proceeds thereof.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Indemnitee referred  to in Section 12.3(a) [Costs and Expenses] shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by  unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through  telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this  Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,  except to the extent such liability or damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction  by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or  willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  (e) Payments.  All amounts due under this Section 12.3 shall be payable not  later than 30 days after written demand therefor, accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation  of the amount demanded and description of the basis therefor.  (f) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.3 shall survive the  termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.  12.4 Holidays.  When payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant,  duty or obligation (including, without limitation, the due date for the delivery of any report,  certificate or other information) is stated to be due or required on a day which is not a Business  Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or  performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any  payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  12.5 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may, in their discretion,  agree to accept notices and other communications to them hereunder by electronic  communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures  may be limited to particular notices or communications.

NAI-1532280773v19    185    (d) Platform.  (i) Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall  not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing  Lenders and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on the Platform.  (ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”  The Agent  Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly  disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind,  express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of  merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or  freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with  the Communications or the Platform.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of  its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower or  the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind,  including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential  damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any  Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of  communications through the Platform, other than direct or actual damages arising from the  gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any applicable party (as determined by  a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment).   “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information,  document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any  Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the  Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender by means of electronic  communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.  12.6 Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable.  If any  provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any  jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such  invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof  in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.  Without limiting  the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any  provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief  Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the  Swingline Loan Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only  to the extent not so limited.  12.7 Duration; Survival.  All representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in  this Agreement and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant  to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the completion  of the transactions hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Facility  Termination Date.  The provisions of Sections 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, and 12.3 shall survive the Facility  Termination Date.  All other covenants and agreements of the Loan Parties under the Loan  Documents shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Closing Date and until the  Facility Termination Date.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    186    12.8 Successors and Assigns.    (a) Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall  be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and  assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign  or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including, in each case, by way of  an LLC Division) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender  and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except  (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of  participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of  pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section  (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).   Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person  (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants  to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated  hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or  equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.  (b) Assignments by Lenders.   Lender may at any time assign to one or more  assignees (provided such assignee is not an Ineligible Institution or any Disqualified Institution;  provided, further, that, with respect to Loans extended to Dutch Borrowers only, such assignee is  also a Non-Public Lender) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement  (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that  (in each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following  conditions:  (i) Minimum Amounts.    (1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount  of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it (in  each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related  Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at  least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(2) of this Section in the aggregate or  in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved  Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and  (2) in any case not described in clause (i)(1)(A) of this Section,  the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans  outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the  principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each  such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption  Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative  Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption  Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of  any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning  Lender, or $5,000,000, in the case of the Term Loan of such assigning Lender,  unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    187    Section 10.1(a), (b), (h), (i). (j) or (q) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers  otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).   (ii) Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as  an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations  under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.  (iii) Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any  assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(2) of this Section and, in  addition:  (1) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be  unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that, without limiting any  other factors that may be reasonable, it shall be reasonable for the Borrowers to  consider a proposed assignee’s right to require reimbursement for increased costs  when determining whether to consent to such an assignment) shall be required  unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 10.1(a),  (b), (h), (i), (j) or (q) at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a  Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund unless, after giving effect to  any such assignment described in this clause (y), the assignee, collectively with its  affiliated Lenders and affiliated Approved Funds, would as a result of such  assignment hold more than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate amounts of Loans  and unused Commitments; provided that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have  consented to any such assignment unless they shall object thereto by written notice  to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice  thereof; provided, further, that the Borrowers shall have the right to receive written  notice from the assigning Lender prior to, or promptly after, any assignment made  without the Borrowers’ consent;   (2) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to  be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect  of (i) the Revolving Credit Facility or any unfunded Commitments with respect to  the Term Loan Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with  a Commitment in respect of such Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an  Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (ii) any Term Loans to a Person  who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and  (3) the consent of the Issuing Lenders and Swingline Loan  Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required  for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility if such assignment  is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the Revolving  Credit Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to  such Lender.  (iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement.  The parties to each  assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and  Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, such fee  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    188    to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such  Lenders.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an  Administrative Questionnaire.  (v) No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be  made to any Ineligible Institution or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,  would constitute an Ineligible Institution.  (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be  made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned  and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).  (vii) Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of  rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be  effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto specified herein, the  parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent  in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be  outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other  compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the  Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not  funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor  hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed  by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline  Loan Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and  (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations  in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations  of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without  compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall  be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such  compliance occurs.  (viii) Effectiveness; Release.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof  by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c), from and after the effective date  specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall  be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment  and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this  Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned  by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under  this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering  all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender  shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of  Section 4.4 [Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], and Section 12.3  [Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring  prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise  expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will  constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    189    Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of  rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall  be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in  such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.  (c) Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an  agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each  Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the  names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated  interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the  “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and the  Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is  recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this  Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at  any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  (d) Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or  notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than  an Ineligible Institution or any Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion  of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its  Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this  Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other  parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative  Agent, the Issuing Lenders and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender  in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance  of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.3 [Expenses;  Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its  Participant(s).  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation  shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve  any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such  agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the  Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification  or waiver with respect to Section 12.1(a) [Increase of Commitment], Section 12.1(b) [Extension  of Payment, Etc.], or Section 12.1(c) [Release of Collateral or Guarantor] that affects such  Participant.  The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of  Section 4.4 [Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], Section 5.9 [Taxes] and  Section 5.10 [Indemnity] (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the  requirements under Section 5.9(g) [Status of Lenders] (it being understood that the documentation  required under Section 5.9(g) [Status of Lenders] shall be delivered to the participating Lender))  to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to  paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the  provisions of Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender] as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b)  of this Section 12.8; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.8  [Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes], with respect to any participation, than its participating  Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    190    greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the  applicable participation and the Company has consented to such participation.  Each Lender that  sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to  cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.13 [Replacement of a  Lender] with respect to any Participant.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely  for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters  the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each  Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant  Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the  Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a  Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any  Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish  that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under  Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant  Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and such Lender shall treat each Person  whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all  purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of  doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no  responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  (e) Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally.  Any Lender may at  any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement  to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to  a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender  from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender  as a party hereto.  (f) Disqualified Institutions.  (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 applicable Lender  entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or grant a participation in all or a portion  of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Company has  consented to such assignment or participation 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 or Participant 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 or Participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or  Participant with respect to the assignment or participation effectuated on such Trade Date  and (y) the execution by the Company of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with  respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered  a Disqualified Institution.  Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (f)(i)  shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (f) shall apply.  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    191    (ii) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified  Institution without the Company’s prior written consent in violation of clause (f)(i) above,  or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the  Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified  Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of  such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such  Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case  of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, prepay such Term Loan by  paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such  Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest,  accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder  and under the other Loan Documents and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to  assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions  contained in this Section 12.8), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this  Agreement and related Loan Documents to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible  Institution or other Disqualified Institution) that shall assume such obligations at the lesser  of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution  paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest,  accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder  and other the other Loan Documents; provided that such assignment does not conflict with  applicable Laws.  (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 any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent  or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders (or any  of them) 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 of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief  Laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees  (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does  vote on such Plan of Reorganization 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 of Reorganization in accordance with Section  1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any 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).  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    192    (iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and each Borrower  hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to, and the Administrative Agent  promptly shall, (A) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by any Loan Party  and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform,  including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders, or  (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender or potential Lender requesting the same.  (g) Cashless Settlement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained  in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in  connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by  the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the  Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.  (h) Arrangers/Bookrunners.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary  contained in this Agreement, subject to the Borrowers’ prior written consent, the name of any  arranger and/or bookrunner listed on the cover page of this Agreement may be changed by the  Administrative Agent to the name of any Lender or Lender’s broker-dealer Affiliate, upon written  request to the Administrative Agent by any such arranger and/or bookrunner and the applicable  Lender or Lender’s broker-deal Affiliate.  12.9 Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing  Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that  Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood  that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of  such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential to the same extent as if they  were parties hereto and the disclosing Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender shall be  responsible for any violation of the provisions of this Section by any such Person); (b) to the extent  required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person  or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of  Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any  subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise  of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating  to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or  thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of  this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant  in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party  (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to  be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any  rating agency in connection with rating any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or the Facilities  or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and  monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facilities; (h) with the prior written consent of  the Borrowers; or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a  result of a breach of this Section, or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any  Lender, any Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a  source other than the Borrowers, any Subsidiaries, or any of their Related Parties that the  Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, reasonably believes is  not prohibited from disclosing such information to such party in violation of a duty or contractual  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    193    obligation of confidentiality to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries.  In the event of  disclosure pursuant to clause (c) above, the applicable disclosing Person shall, (x) to the extent not  prohibited by applicable Law, as promptly as practicable notify the Company in writing of such  required disclosure and if possible, prior to any such required disclosure, so as to provide the  Company, at its sole expense, the reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order or other  comparable relief regarding such disclosure, (y) if the Company is unable to successfully obtain a  protective order or other comparable relief, so furnish only that portion of the Information which  such disclosing Person reasonably determines (which may be in reliance on the advice of legal  counsel) it is legally required to disclose and (z) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that  any such Information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment.  Each Loan Party, upon the  public disclosure of the existence of this Agreement by the Company, consents to the disclosure  by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the existence of this Agreement and information  about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry  and service providers to the agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this  Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.  For purposes of this Section,  “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of any Borrower or any of their  Subsidiaries relating to any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective  businesses.

NAI-1532280773v19    197    12.14 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan  Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Liabilities 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):  (a) 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.  (b) As used in this Section 12.14, the following terms have the following  meanings:  “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under,  and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.  “Covered Entity” means any of the following:  (i) a “covered entity” as that term is  defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b), (ii) a  “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,  12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and  interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).  “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted  in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.  “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and  shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    198    12.15 Additional Borrowers.  Without limiting Section 2.9 hereof, the Company may with  the consent of the Lenders from time to time designate any wholly-owned Subsidiary as a  Borrower under any Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loan Commitment or any Incremental  Loan Commitment (each, an “Additional Borrower”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall  be reasonably satisfied that, with respect to any such Subsidiary which is not a Domestic  Subsidiary, a UK Subsidiary or a Dutch Subsidiary, the applicable Lenders to such Additional  Borrower may make loans and other extensions of credit to such Subsidiary in such person’s  jurisdiction of organization in compliance with applicable Laws, without being required or  qualified to do business in such jurisdiction and without being subject to any unreimbursed or  unindemnified Taxes or other expense.  Such wholly-owned Subsidiary shall become an  Additional Borrower and a party to this Agreement, and all references to the “Borrower” and  “Borrowers” shall also include such Additional Borrower, as applicable, upon an effective joinder  date mutually acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Company, subject to the satisfaction  of the following conditions:  (a) the applicable Additional Borrower shall become a party to this  Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent an executed counterpart to a joinder  agreement or amendment in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent  to this Agreement (it being agreed that the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to  execute and deliver any such joinder agreement), (b) the Administrative Agent and each Lender  shall have received such documents, certificates and other deliverables with respect to the  applicable Additional Borrower, including those substantially consistent in scope with such items  required to be delivered under Section 7.3 in respect of the designation of a Foreign Subsidiary  Borrower, as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, (c) the applicable  requirements of Section 8.9 shall be satisfied and (d) the Lenders shall have been provided at least  ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent  shall reasonably agree) of any Additional Borrower being added pursuant to this Section 12.15.   This Agreement may be amended as necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the  Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of or be consistent with this  Section 12.15.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any such  deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the  Company’s and each Lender’s prior written consent.  Section 2.9(b) of this Agreement shall apply  to the Additional Borrowers joined pursuant to this Section 12.15, mutatis mutandis.    12.16 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 Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender  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 or such Lender,  as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative  Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal, reasonable 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  or any Lender from any Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    199    separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative  Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement  Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any  Lender in such Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to  return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled  thereto under applicable Law).  12.17 Payment of Debt; Joint and Several Obligations.  (a) General.    (i) The U.S. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for the  Obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.

Each Loan allocated to any  Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be for the benefit of all of the Foreign Subsidiary  Borrowers.  (iii) Notwithstanding any provision hereof and/or of any other Loan  Document to the contrary, (i) no CFCs or other Foreign Subsidiaries (collectively  “Specified Persons”) shall directly or indirectly guarantee or be required to guarantee any  U.S. Obligation or be liable to pay or otherwise be liable, in whole or in part, directly or  indirectly, jointly or severally, for any U.S. Obligation, and (ii) no assets of any Specified  Persons or any Equity Interests of any Specified Persons that constitute Excluded Assets,  or any other credit enhancement provided by any Specified Persons under or in connection  with any Loan Document (other than pledges of Equity Interests in Specified Persons that  do not constitute Excluded Assets), shall directly or indirectly secure any U.S. Obligation.  Notwithstanding any provision hereof and/or of any other Loan Document to the contrary,  any payments made by or on behalf of any Specified Persons with respect to the  Obligations shall be made and treated solely as a payment with respect to the Foreign  Obligations.  (b) Certain Waivers.  Notice of the acceptance of this Agreement and the other  Loan Documents, and of the incurrence of any of the Obligations, and, except as otherwise

Subject to  the provisions of this Section 12.17, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees that (a) any  or all Obligations may be enforced directly against such Borrower independently of and without  proceeding against any other Borrower and/or any other Loan Party or foreclosing any Collateral  pledged to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and (b) the Administrative Agent or  the Collateral Agent may from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion (as more fully  permitted herein and in the other Loan Documents) and, except as otherwise provided in the Loan  Documents, without notice to or consent of such Borrower and without releasing such Borrower  from its liability for any of the Obligations, (i) sell, exchange, release, surrender and otherwise  deal with any Collateral pledged to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by any  Borrower or any other Loan Party to secure any or all Obligations and/or any Guaranty Agreement,  (ii) release and otherwise deal with any other Borrower and/or any other Loan Party, (iii) exercise  or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Borrower and/or any other Loan Party and  otherwise act or refrain from acting with respect to any other Borrower and/or any other Loan  Party and/or (iv) settle or compromise any or all of the Obligations with any other Borrower.  (c) No Subrogation, Etc.  No Borrower shall have any right of subrogation,  reimbursement, contribution or indemnity whatsoever with respect to any other Borrower and/or  any other Loan Party or any right of recourse to or with respect to any property of any other  fBorrower and/or any other Loan Party or to any Collateral for the payment of any or all of the  Obligations and/or any Guaranty Agreement until the Facility Termination Date.  (d) No Impairment.  No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the  liability of any Borrower for or with respect to any or all Obligations shall affect, impair or be a  defense to the liability of any other Borrower for or with respect to such Obligations.  No invalidity,  irregularity or unenforceability of any Collateral for or any Guaranty Agreement of any or all of  the Obligations shall affect, impair or be a defense to the obligations of any Borrower for or with  respect to such Obligations.

No act of commission or omission of any kind by any of the  Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, any act  or omission which impairs, reduces the value of, releases or fails to perfect a Lien upon, any  Collateral for or Guaranty of any of the Obligations) shall affect or impair the liability of any  Borrower with respect to such Obligations in any manner.  (e) Waiver of Marshalling, Etc.

Each Borrower hereby further waives all rights and  defenses which such Borrower may have arising out of (i) any election of remedies by the  Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, even though that election of remedies,  such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Obligations,  destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation or such Borrower’s rights to proceed against any  other Borrower for reimbursement or (ii) any loss of rights such Borrower may suffer by reason  of any rights, powers or remedies of any other Borrower in connection with any anti-deficiency  Laws or any other Laws limiting, qualifying or discharging any or all Obligations, whether by  operation of law or otherwise, including any rights which such Borrower may have to a fair market  value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any foreclosure sale or other  disposition of any real property security for any portion of the Obligations.

Notwithstanding any provision contained in this  Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, if any “Fraudulent Transfer Law” (as  hereinafter defined) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be applicable to the  liability of any Borrower for or with respect to any or all of the Obligations, such liability of such  

 

NAI-1532280773v19    202    Borrower shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would  not render such Borrower’s liability for or with respect to the Obligations subject to avoidance as  a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under any applicable debtor relief Laws or any  provisions of any other applicable Federal, state, foreign or other bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance or similar Law governing debtors and  the enforceability of debtors’ obligations (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each  case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are  relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws, and after giving effect as assets to the value (as  determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to  subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Borrower pursuant to  applicable Law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement.  The Borrowers jointly and severally  agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made under this Agreement and/or any  other Loan Document each Borrower shall have contribution rights against the other Borrowers as  permitted under applicable Law.
