DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
As of February 15, 2022, Garrett Motion Inc. (the “Company”) has two classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (1) our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (2) our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).
The following description summarizes the material terms and provisions of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. For the complete terms of our common stock and preferred stock, including the Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock, please refer to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), including the Certificate of Designations of our Series A Preferred Stock (as amended, the “Series A Certificate of Designations”) and our Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this exhibit is a part.  We encourage you to read our Certificate of Incorporation, our Series A Certificate of Designations, our Bylaws and The Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), which may also affect the terms of these securities.
Authorized Capitalization
Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 2,200,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 1,200,000,000 shares of preferred stock. 
Common Stock
Dividends
Holders of shares of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board at its discretion out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to the preferential rights of any preferred stock that may be outstanding.  The timing, declaration, amount and payment of future dividends will depend on the Company’s financial condition, earnings, capital requirements and debt service obligations, as well as legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other factors that the Board deems relevant.  Under the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock, a dividend on our Common Stock (other than a dividend payable solely in Common Stock) may not be declared if (i) all cumulative accrued and unpaid preference dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have not been paid in full and the full dividend thereon due has not been paid or declared and set aside for payment, (ii) all prior redemption requirements with respect to Series A Preferred Stock have not been complied with, provided that a committee of disinterested directors of the Board (the “Disinterested Directors’ Committee”) may nonetheless declare, and we may make, dividends or distributions on the Common Stock in such circumstances, but only if (x) the holders of Series A Preferred Stock also participate ratably in the dividend or distribution, (y) the dividend or distribution is made on or prior to December 31, 2022, and (z) the full Board has ratified the Disinterested Directors’ Committee’s declaration of the dividend or distribution. Additionally, under the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), a dividend on our Common Stock (other than a dividend payable solely in Common Stock) may not be declared if the Company has not satisfied or cannot satisfy in full redemption payments owed to holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
Additionally, the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2021, by and among the Company, Garrett LX I S.à r.l., Garrett Motion Holdings Inc. and Garrett Motion Sàrl, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), includes restrictions on the Company’s ability to make dividends or distributions on, or redeem or otherwise acquire, its outstanding equity interests, including its Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, in each case subject to certain exceptions and carve-outs.
For information on restrictions on the payment of dividends on the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, see “Series A Preferred Stock — Dividends” below.
Voting
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote.  Except as otherwise required by law, holders of common stock are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificates of Designations relating to any series of preferred stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred 

Doc#: US1:15635328v2

stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon.
Subject to the rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock, directors will be elected by a majority of the votes cast, provided that, in contested elections, directors will be elected by a plurality of the validly cast votes represented in person or by proxy with respect to the election.  There are no cumulative voting rights for the election of directors.
For information on the voting rights of holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, see “Series A Preferred Stock — Voting” below.  
Other Rights
Subject to the preferential liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may be outstanding, including the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the Company’s assets legally available for distribution to stockholders.
Under the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, the Company is prohibited from issuing any non-voting equity securities, provided that such restriction (i) only applies to the extent required under Section 1123(a)(6) of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), (ii) only for so long as Section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code is in effect and applicable to the Company and (iii) may be amended or eliminated in accordance with applicable law as from time to time may be in effect.  Such a restriction in no way restricts or prevents the issuance of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, regardless of any voting rights granted thereto.
Fully Paid
The issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.  Any additional shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue in the future will also be fully paid and non-assessable.
The holders of the Common Stock do not have preemptive rights or preferential rights to subscribe for shares of the Company’s capital stock.
Series A Preferred Stock
Dividends
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Disinterested Directors’ Committee out of funds legally available for such dividend, cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 11% on the stated amount per share plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share, accumulating on a daily basis and payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, respectively, in each year.  Such a dividend will not be declared at any time when Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) of the Company and its subsidiaries for the most recent four fiscal quarters for which financial statements of the Company are available is less than $425,000,000.  Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accumulate whether or not declared.  Under the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock, a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock may not be declared so long as the Company has not satisfied or cannot satisfy in full any deferred redemption payments or redemption payments owed on the next scheduled redemption date to holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will also be entitled to such dividends paid to holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such holders of Series A Preferred Stock had converted their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversions) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions.  Such payments will be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of the Common Stock.
So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, no dividend shall be paid or declared, and no distribution shall be made, on any class of Common Stock or any future class of preferred stock established thereafter by the Board (other than any series of capital stock that ranks pari passu or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock) (such stock “Dividend Junior Stock”), other than a dividend payable solely in Dividend Junior Stock, unless (i) all cumulative accrued and unpaid preference dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been paid in full and the full dividend thereon due has been paid or declared and set aside for 
2
Doc#: US1:15635328v2

payment and (ii) all prior redemption requirements with respect to Series A Preferred Stock have been complied with, provided, that the Disinterested Directors’ Committee may nonetheless declare, and we may make, dividends or distributions on Dividend Junior Stock in such circumstances, but only if (x) the holders of Series A Preferred Stock also participate ratably in the dividend or distribution, (y) the dividend or distribution is made on or prior to December 31, 2022, and (z) the full Board has ratified the Disinterested Directors’ Committee’s declaration of the dividend or distribution.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, during the fiscal years ending December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, the Company may not make restricted payments (including purchases and redemptions) in cash solely with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock unless a ratable payment (on an as-converted basis) is made to holders of the Common Stock and such payments would otherwise be permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The Company’s ability to make ratable payments to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock is restricted by the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designations.
Voting
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock, with each such holder entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of votes such holder would have been entitled to cast if such holder were the holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the whole number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock in addition to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of cumulative unpaid preference dividends (whether or not authorized or declared) divided by the lesser of (i) the fair market value per share of such additional shares and (ii) the fair market value per share of the Common Stock.
So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, a vote or the consent of the holders representing a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock will be required for (i) effecting or validating any amendment, modification or alteration to the Certificate of Incorporation that would authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series or any securities convertible into shares of any class or series of capital stock that would rank senior or pari passu to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of cumulative dividends or upon the occurrence of a liquidation, (ii) any increase in the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or of any series of capital stock that ranks pari passu with Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the payment of cumulative dividends or upon the occurrence of a liquidation, (iii) effecting or validating any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws that would have an adverse effect on the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of Series A Preferred Stock or the holders thereof in any material respect, or (iv) any action or inaction that would reduce the stated amount of any share of Series A Preferred Stock to below $5.25 per share.
Liquidation
Upon liquidation, Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and any future class of preferred stock, and will have the right to be paid, out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to the Aggregate Liquidation Entitlement (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) for all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
Other Rights
All shares of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert to shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price of $5.25 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as described in the Series A Certificate of Designations) (the “Conversion Price”) upon either (i) the election of holders representing a majority of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) the occurrence of a Trading Day (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) at any time on or after April 30, 2023 on which (A) the aggregate stated amount of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is an amount less than or equal to $125,000,000, (B) the Common Stock is traded on a Principal Exchange, a Fallback Exchange or an Over-the-Counter Market (each as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) and, in each case, the Automatic Conversion Fair Market Value (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) of the Common Stock exceeds 150% of the Conversion Price, and (C) the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) of the Company and its subsidiaries for the last twelve months ended as of the last day of each of the two most recent fiscal quarters is greater than or equal to $600,000,000.
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are also convertible into Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder, effective on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 in each year, or on the third business day prior to the date of redemption of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as described in the following paragraph.
3
Doc#: US1:15635328v2

The Company may, at its election, redeem all but not less than all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (i) at any time following April 30, 2027 or (ii) in connection with the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations), in either case for a cash purchase price equal to $5.25 per share plus cumulative unpaid preference dividends (whether or not authorized or declared) as of the redemption date.
Anti-Takeover Protections
Certain provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws summarized below may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.  These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board and in the policies formulated by the Board and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control.
Removal
Subject to the rights of holders of any one or more series of preferred stock, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that (i) any director may be removed with or without cause and (ii) the removal of any director, with or without cause, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of all classes and series of capital stock generally entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Company.
For information on the rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock regarding the removal of directors, see “Series A Investor Rights Agreement” below.
Blank Check Preferred Stock
The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board to designate and issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders (subject to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock), out of the unissued shares of preferred stock, for series of preferred stock and, with respect to such series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of the series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of such series.  The ability to issue such preferred stock could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Prior to the first date on which either the Centerbridge Investors (as defined below) or the Oaktree Investors (as defined below) cease to have the right to designate two individuals for election to the Board (such date, the “Transition Date”), any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock of the Company having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted so long as the Board has unanimously recommended that the Company’s stockholders take such action.  On and after the Transition Date, and subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of any class or series of stock of the Company may be taken only upon the vote of stockholders at annual or special meetings duly called and may not be taken by written consent of the stockholders.
Special Stockholder Meetings
The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may only be called by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (or, in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer, the President) of the Company, or by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for so long as the Centerbridge Investors and the Oaktree Investors beneficially own, in the aggregate, a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  Each special meeting shall be held at such date, time and place either within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication, as may be determined by the Board and as specified in the notice of meeting.  Except as described herein, stockholders may not call or request special meetings of stockholders.
4
Doc#: US1:15635328v2

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
The Bylaws establish advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and proposed nominations of persons for election to the Board to be brought before an annual or special meeting of the stockholders.  Although the Bylaws do not give the Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, the Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.
No Cumulative Voting
The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless the company’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.  The Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.
Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
The DGCL provides that the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of a company’s voting stock then outstanding is required to amend such company’s certificate of incorporation unless the company’s certificate of incorporation provides a higher threshold, and our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for a higher threshold.  The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the By-Laws may be amended by the Board or by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock entitled generally to vote in the election of directors of the Company, voting together as a single class.  Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this the Certificate of Incorporation, the DGCL, or a Certificate of Designations setting forth the terms of such series of Preferred Stock.
Section 203 of the DGCL
The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder.
The acquisition of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization filed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries on April 26, 2021, which was subsequently confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on April 26, 2021 (the “Plan”) by the Centerbridge Investors and the Oaktree Investors was approved by the Board for the purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL.
Limitation on Liability of Directors and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Delaware law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors, and the Certificate of Incorporation includes such an exculpation provision.  The Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director, officer or agent of the Company, or for serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer or agent at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be.  The Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation also provide that the Company must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to the Company’s directors, officers and employees, subject to receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the DGCL.  The Bylaws expressly authorize the Company to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect the Company, its directors, officers and employees for some liabilities.
Exclusive Forum
The Certificate of Incorporation provides, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law, that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery located within the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of the Company’s directors, officers or other employees or stockholders to the Company or its stockholders, any action asserting a claim arising 
5
Doc#: US1:15635328v2

pursuant to the DGCL or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery located in the State of Delaware, any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine or any other action asserting an “internal corporate claim” as that term is defined in Section 115 of the DGCL.  However, if the Court of Chancery within the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the action may be brought in any other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware.
In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), shall be the federal district courts of the United States.
Nothing in the Certificate of Incorporation precludes stockholders that assert claims under the Exchange Act from bringing such claims in federal court to the extent that the Exchange Act confers exclusive federal jurisdiction over such claims, subject to applicable law.
Although the Certificate of Incorporation contains the choice of forum provision described above, it is possible that a court could find that such a provision is inapplicable for a particular claim or action or that such provision is unenforceable.  For example, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.  Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a forum selection provision as written in connection with claims arising under the Securities Act.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock is Equiniti Trust Company.  
Listing
The Common Stock (GTX) and the Series A Preferred Stock (GTXAP) are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Registration Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company and certain holders of the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (the “Registration Rights Holders”) executed the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date (as defined below).
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company was obligated to provide, and provided, notice to the Accredited Investor Eligible Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that they are (i) able to become parties to the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) participate in the Shelf Registration Statement (the “Shelf Notice”).  The Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-1, the (“Shelf Registration Statement”), covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) on a continuous basis as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date (taking into account the need to provide Accredited Investor Eligible Holders a reasonable opportunity to respond to the Shelf Notice (as defined below) and in any event no later than 30 days following the Effective Date).  As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective on the earliest date practicable.
At any time following the date that the Company satisfied the conditions to effectiveness set forth in the Plan and in the order of the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan (the “Effective Date”), any Registration Rights Holders who, directly or indirectly, together with their respective affiliates, have beneficial ownership of at least 7.5% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (such Registration Rights Holders, the “Required Investors”), may request registration of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Required Investors on Form S-1 or, if available, on Form S-3 (each, a “Demand Registration”).  Unless there is then a currently effective Shelf Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, the Company will effect such Demand Registration by filing with the SEC a registration statement within (i) 60 days in the case of a registration statement on Form S-1 and (ii) 30 days in the case of a registration statement on Form S-3.  The aggregate number of Demand Registrations on Form S-1 that may be requested by the Required Investors shall not exceed four; the Required Investors may request an unlimited number of Demand Registrations on Form S-3.
6
Doc#: US1:15635328v2

The relevant Required Investors may request to effectuate any offering of Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering, provided that the aggregate gross proceeds of such public offering are expected to be at least $50 million.  The Company will not be required to effect more than one underwritten offering in any 90-day period.
In the event the Company proposes to file a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to any offering of its equity securities, the Company will give written notice of such proposed filing to the Registration Rights Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than five business days prior to the proposed date of public filing of such shelf), and such notice shall offer the Registration Rights Holders the opportunity to register under such registration statement the resale of such number of Registrable Securities as each such Registration Rights Holder may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”).  If the Company proposes to file a registration statement that is not a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to any offering of its equity securities, the Company will give written notice of such proposed filing to certain of the Registration Rights Holders (the “Piggyback Eligible Investors”), and such notice shall offer the Piggyback Eligible Investors the opportunity to make a Piggyback Registration.  If the Company proposes to undertake an underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement for which there was a Piggyback Registration, the Piggyback Eligible Investors may be entitled to participate in such underwritten offering, subject to customary “cutback” provisions in certain circumstances.
If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in the event of any underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Company, each holder of Registrable Securities participating in such sale agrees, as a condition to such holder’s participation in the offering, to execute a lock-up agreement, which will provide for restrictions on transferring the Company’s capital stock as specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.  Additionally, in connection with any underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities and upon the request of the managing underwriter or underwriters, the Company will agree not to effect any public sale or distribution of any Lock-Up Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).
The Registration Rights Agreement includes customary indemnification provisions.  The Company is responsible for its own expenses associated with the performance of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement and certain fees and expenses of legal counsel to the relevant Registration Rights Holders.  Except as described in the preceding sentence, the Registration Rights Holders will bear their own expenses, including any underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfer taxes applicable to any sale of Registrable Securities.
The Registration Rights Agreement will automatically terminate upon the later of (i) the expiration of the Shelf Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and (ii) at such time as no Registrable Securities remain outstanding.
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”) and incorporated by reference herein.
Series A Investor Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company entered into a Series A Investor Rights Agreement (the “Series A Investor Rights Agreement”) with Centerbridge Credit Partners Master, L.P. (“Centerbridge Credit”), Centerbridge Special Credit Partners III-Flex, L.P. (“Centerbridge Special Credit” and, together with Centerbridge Credit, the “Centerbridge Investors”), OCM Opps GTM Holdings, LLC (“OCM Opps”), Oaktree Value Opportunities Fund Holdings, L.P. (“Oaktree Value”), Oaktree Phoenix Investment Fund, L.P. (“Oaktree Phoenix”) and Oaktree Opportunities Fund Xb Holdings (Delaware), L.P. (“Oaktree Opportunities” and, together with OCM Opps, Oaktree Value and Oaktree Phoenix, the “Oaktree Investors”) and the other signatories thereto (the “Additional Investors” and, together with the Centerbridge Investors and the Oaktree Investors, the “Series A Investors”).  Pursuant to the Series A Investor Rights Agreement, as of the Effective Date, the Centerbridge Investors and Oaktree Investors each have the right to designate three directors for election to the Board and the Additional Investors have the right to designate one director for election to the Board.  One director will be the chief executive officer of the Company.
The Centerbridge Investors and Oaktree Investors each have a continuing right to designate three directors to the Board, subject to their respective (and permitted transferees’) beneficial ownership of at least 60% of their respective aggregate initial ownership interest as of the Effective Date (the “Initial Investor Interest”), at least one of which will not be employed by Centerbridge Investors or Oaktree Investors, as applicable, or their respective affiliates.  If the Centerbridge Investors or Oaktree Investors, as applicable, beneficially own less than 60% but at least 40% of their respective Initial Investor Interest, then they will each have the right to designate at least two directors to the Board.  If the Centerbridge Investors or Oaktree Investors, as applicable, beneficially own less than 40% but at least 20% of their respective Initial Investor Interest, then they will each have the right to designate at 
7
Doc#: US1:15635328v2

least one director to the Board.  If the Centerbridge Investors or Oaktree Investors, as applicable, cease to own at least 20% of their respective Initial Investor Interest, then they will have no right to designate any directors to the Board.
Pursuant to the Series A Investor Rights Agreement, the Additional Investors have a continuing right to designate one director for election to the Board, subject to their (and permitted transferees’) beneficial ownership of at least 60% of their Initial Investor Interest.  If the Additional Investors beneficially own less than 60% of their Initial Investor Interest, then they have no right to designate any directors to the Board.  The designee of the Additional Investors shall be the person nominated, separately and not jointly, by those Additional Investors holding at least 65% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Additional Investors at such time.  After the Additional Investors no longer have a right to designate a director as described above, if the Company becomes aware that at least 20% of the Series A Preferred Stock issued as of the Effective Date is held by stockholders other than the Centerbridge Investors and Oaktree Investors, then the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (excluding Series A Preferred Stock held by the Centerbridge Investors and the Oaktree Investors) will collectively have the right to designate one director to the Board.
If the number of individuals that any Series A Investor has the right to designate for election to the Board is decreased in accordance with the foregoing, then the corresponding number of directors designated by such Investor will immediately offer to resign from the Board under the terms of the Series A Investor Rights Agreement.
The Company is restricted under the Series A Investor Rights Agreement from increasing the size of the Board without the written consent of the Series A Investors holding a majority of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for so long as the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock represents, in the aggregate, a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of all classes and series of capital stock of the Company entitled generally to vote in the election of directors of the Company.
The foregoing description of the Series A Investor Rights Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series A Investor Rights Agreement, which is attached as an exhibit to the Annual Report and incorporated herein by reference.

section 12.Governing Law; Etc.

requests an amendment to any provision (including any definition) hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Effective Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Swiss Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith, (ii) notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or any successor thereto (including pursuant to Accounting Standard Codifications), to value any Indebtedness of Holdings, any Borrower or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein and (iii) notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all obligations of any person that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on February 25, 2016 of an Accounting Standards Update (the “ASU”) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of the Loan Documents (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as capitalized lease obligations in Holdings’s financial statements (provided that the only financial statements required to be delivered shall be those filed with the SEC).
(b)    The Swiss Borrower is hereby authorized to act as an agent and representative of the other Borrowers and Loan Parties party hereto in providing and receiving notices, consents, certificates, other writing or statements on behalf of the other Borrowers and Loan Parties for purposes hereof (including for purposes of Article II).  Unless otherwise provided therein, the Administrative Agent may assume any notice, consent, certificate, other writing or statement received from the Swiss Borrower is made on behalf of the other Borrowers and Loan Parties, and shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability by acting upon, any such notice, consent, certificate, other writing or statement accordingly.
SECTION 1.05.    Calculations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, (i) with respect to any period during which or (except for purposes of calculating (x) the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definition of “Applicable Rate,” Section 2.11(c) and Section 2.11(d) and (y) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for purposes of Section 6.13) following such period and on or prior to the relevant date of determination, any acquisition permitted by this Agreement or any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Equity Interests in a Subsidiary or all or substantially all the assets of a Subsidiary or division or line of business of a Subsidiary outside the Ordinary Course of Business occurs, or any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness is made, or any Investments, Restricted Payments or Restricted Debt Payments are made by any member of the Restricted Group, for purposes of determining the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA, calculations with respect to such period shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis, (ii) the Borrowers may rely on more than one basket or exception within a covenant hereunder (including both ratio-based and non-ratio based baskets and exceptions, and including partial reliance on different baskets that, collectively, permit the entire proposed transaction) at the time of any proposed transaction, and the Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, at any later time divide, classify or reclassify such transaction (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with the available baskets and exceptions within such covenant hereunder at such later time (provided that with respect to reclassification of Indebtedness and Liens, any such reclassification shall be subject to the parameters of Sections 6.02 and 6.03, as applicable), (iii) unless the Borrowers elect otherwise, if any member of the Restricted Group in connection with any transaction or series of such related transactions (A) incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes Dispositions, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments or Restricted Debt Payments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted or 

83

repays any Indebtedness or takes any other action under or as permitted by a ratio-based basket or exception and (B) incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes Dispositions, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments or Restricted Debt Payments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted or repays any Indebtedness or takes any other action under a non-ratio-based basket or exception, then the applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to any such action under the applicable ratio-based basket or exception without regard to any such action under such non-ratio-based basket or exception made in connection with such transaction or series of related transactions, (iv) if any member of the Restricted Group enters into any revolving, delayed draw or other committed debt facility, the Borrowers may elect to determine compliance of such debt facility (including the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens from time to time in connection therewith) with this Agreement and each other Loan Document on the date commitments with respect thereto are first received, assuming the full amount of such facility is incurred (and any applicable Liens are granted) on such date, in lieu of determining such compliance on any subsequent date (including any date on which Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to such facility); provided that if such election is made with respect to any delayed draw facility or other committed debt facility (other than a revolving facility), then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or financial test or basket or exception with respect to any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness (including the incurrence of Liens in connection therewith) or Liens, such calculation shall be made assuming the full amount of such delayed draw facility or committed debt facility, as applicable, has been incurred (and any applicable Liens granted) on such date of incurrence for so long as any commitments remain outstanding thereunder, and (v) if any member of the Restricted Group incurs Indebtedness under a ratio-based basket or exception, such ratio-based basket or exception (together with any other ratio-based basket or exception utilized in connection therewith, including in respect of other Indebtedness, Liens, Dispositions, Investments, Restricted Payments or Restricted Debt Payments) will be calculated excluding the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness for netting purposes, provided that the actual application of such proceeds may reduce Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with any applicable ratio.
SECTION 1.06.    Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.  
(a)    Any amount specified in this Agreement (other than in Articles II, VIII and IX or as set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 1.06) or any of the other Loan Documents to be in Euros or Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Euros or Dollars, such equivalent amount to be determined at the Exchange Rate; provided if any basket is exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in applicable currency exchange rates after the last time such basket was utilized, such basket will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
(b)    Amounts denominated in a currency other than dollars will be converted to dollars for the purposes of calculating the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio at the Exchange Rate as of the date of calculation, and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedging Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Equivalent of such Indebtedness.
(c)    The Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Borrowings or Letter of Credit extensions denominated in Permitted Foreign Currencies.  Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur.  
(d)    Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan, a Term Benchmark Loan, a EURIBOR Loan or an RFR 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 Borrowing, 

84

Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, such amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Permitted Foreign Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
SECTION 1.07.    Agreed Guaranty and Security Principles.  The determination of any Non-U.S. Loan Party’s Collateral and assets that constitute Collateral and each guaranty and security document delivered or required to be delivered by any Non-U.S. Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be subject to the Agreed Guaranty and Security Principles.
SECTION 1.08.    Limited Condition Transaction.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary (but subject to the final sentence of this Section 1.08), when calculating any applicable financial ratio or test or determining other compliance with this Agreement (including the determination of compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom) in connection with the consummation of a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of such ratio and determination of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or other applicable covenant shall, at the option of the Swiss Borrower (the Swiss Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), be deemed to be (i) in the case of a Limited Condition Transaction described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into and (ii) in the case of a Limited Condition Transaction described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the date of giving of the irrevocable notice of redemption therefor (the “LCT Test Date”) and if, after such financial ratios and tests and other provisions are measured on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable period being used to calculate such financial ratio ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Swiss Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratios and provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that at the option of the Swiss Borrower, the relevant ratios and baskets may be recalculated at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction.  For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such financial ratios or tests are exceeded (or, with respect to the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, not reached) as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or test (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or otherwise) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such financial ratios and tests and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded (or, with respect to the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, not reached) as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (y) such financial ratios and tests and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related transaction.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Swiss Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any financial ratio or test (other than actual compliance with Section 6.13) or basket availability with respect to any Limited Condition Transaction on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or, in the case of a Limited Condition Transaction described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether such subsequent transaction is permitted under this Agreement or any Loan Document, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to comply with any such ratio, test or basket on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Transaction has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated or expires. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 1.08 shall not apply with respect to the conditions to any Borrowing or issuance of a Letter of Credit, in each case, under the Revolving Facility.

SECTION 1.13.    LLC Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.16.    Interest Rates; LIBORBenchmark Notification.  The
(a)        With respect to Term Loans, the interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars or a Permitted Foreign Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-

87

month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored.  There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published.  Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Sections 2.14(I)(b) and (I)(c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers, pursuant to Section 2.14(I)(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” (or “EURIBOR Rate”, as applicable) or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.14(I)(b) or (I)(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.14(I)(d)), including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate (or the EURIBOR Rate, as applicable) or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate, as applicable) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
(b)        With respect to the Revolving Facility, the interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars or a Permitted Foreign Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt In Election, Sections 2.14(II)(b) and (c) provideprovides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers, pursuant to Section 2.14(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the Daily Simple RFR, LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” (or “EURIBOR Rate”, or “TIBOR Rate”, as applicable)any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.14(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.14(d)), including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Daily Simple RFR, the LIBO Rate (or the EURIBOR Rate, or the TIBOR Rate, as applicable) orexisting interest rate being replaced or to have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate, as applicable)any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any Daily Simple RFR,interest rate used in 

88

this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower.Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swiss Borrower may request (and each Issuing Bank shall issue) Letters of Credit for the Swiss Borrower’s own account (or for the account of any Subsidiary so long as (x) the Swiss Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant in respect of such Letter of Credit and (y) such Issuing Bank has completed its customary “know your client” procedures with respect to such Subsidiary), denominated in dollars or in a Permitted Foreign Currency and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period.  Notwithstanding anything contained in any letter of credit application or other agreement (other than this Agreement or any Security Document) submitted by the Swiss Borrower to, or entered into by the Swiss Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, (i) all provisions of such letter of credit application or other agreement purporting to grant Liens in favor of such Issuing Bank to secure obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be disregarded, it being agreed that such obligations shall be secured to the extent provided in this Agreement and in the Security Documents, and (ii) in the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of such letter of credit application or such other agreement, as applicable, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than any automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section), the Swiss Borrower shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by such Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the currency and amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be requested by the applicable Issuing Bank as necessary to enable such Issuing Bank to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Swiss Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  An Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue any trade Letter of Credit (unless it otherwise consents) and no Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended unless (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit the Swiss Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the sum of the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit, (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, (iii) unless consented to by the applicable Issuing Bank, the face amount of the Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Pro Rata Share 

91

of the LC Sublimit and (iv) following the effectiveness of any Maturity Date Extension Request with respect to the Revolving Commitments of any Class, the LC Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit of such Class having an expiration date after the second Business Day prior to the applicable Existing Maturity Date shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Class of the Consenting Lenders extended pursuant to Section 2.22.  Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not permit any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall give to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof as required under paragraph (l) of this Section. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Issuing Bank shall have no obligation hereunder to issue any Letter of Credit if (x) any law applicable to such Issuing Bank from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or (y) such issuance shall violate such Issuing Bank’s internal policies and procedures that are applicable to letters of credit generally.
(c)    Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date (unless such Letters of Credit have been cash collateralized or backstopped on or prior to such fifth Business Day pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank); provided that (x) any Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Swiss Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional periods (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date (unless such Letters of Credit have been cash collateralized or backstopped on or prior to such fifth Business Day pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank)) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed and (y) clause (c)(i) above shall not apply to a Letter of Credit if such long-dated Letter of Credit is consented to by the applicable Issuing Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Revolving Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments shall be extended pursuant to Section 2.22, “Revolving Maturity Date” as referenced in this paragraph shall refer, with respect to the Class of Letters of Credit associated with such Class of Revolving Commitments, to the Revolving Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments as extended pursuant to Section 2.22; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including Section 2.22 hereof) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Revolving Maturity Date, as such term is used in reference to any Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit issued thereby, may not be extended with respect to any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank.
(d)    Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank that is the issuer of such Letter of Credit hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Swiss Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Swiss Borrower for any reason.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of Holdings and the 

92

Borrowers deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02 unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended, renewed or extended (or, in the case of an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended, renewed or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).
(e)    Reimbursement.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then the Swiss Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in the currency of such LC Disbursement equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Swiss Borrower receives such notice; provided that, (x) in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in dollars in an amount equal to or in excess of $500,000, the Swiss Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount or (y) in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency and is not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000, the Swiss Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing denominated in dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Permitted Foreign Currency and, in each case, to the extent so financed, the Swiss Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing.  In the case of any such reimbursement in Euros with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Swiss Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the draft so paid promptly following the determination thereof.  If the Swiss Borrower fails to reimburse any LC Disbursement by the time specified above in this paragraph, then the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the currency and amount of the payment then due from the Swiss Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the amount then due from the Swiss Borrower in the currency of the applicable LC Disbursement, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the applicable Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Swiss Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Swiss Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)    Obligations Absolute.  The Swiss Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision thereof or hereof, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid 

93

in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Swiss Borrower’s obligations hereunder or (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Permitted Foreign Currency to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally.  None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Swiss Borrower 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 Swiss Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Swiss Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or refusal shall be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(g)    Disbursement Procedures.  Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Swiss Borrower in writing (via hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic imaging) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the applicable Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.
(h)    Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Swiss Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full in the applicable currency on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Swiss Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full, at (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in dollars, the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (ii) in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in any Permitted Foreign Currency, a rate per annum determined by the applicable Issuing Bank (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) to represent its cost of funds plus the Applicable Rate used to determine interest applicable to LIBORTerm Benchmark Revolving Loans, RFR Loans or EURIBOR Revolving Loans (as applicable); provided that, if the Swiss Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement in full when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the 

94

extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the Swiss Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full.
(i)    Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day following the Business Day on which the Swiss Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Swiss Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash (in the currency of each applicable Letter of Credit) equal to the LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders with respect to the Letters of Credit issued to the Swiss Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Swiss Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01.  The Swiss Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b), 2.20(c) or 2.22(c).  Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Swiss Borrower under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Swiss Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Notwithstanding the terms of any Security Document, moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Swiss Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (i) the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders (treating the Classes of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans as one Class) and (ii) in the case of any such application at a time when any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Swiss Borrower under this Agreement.  If the Swiss Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Swiss Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.  If the Swiss Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Swiss Borrower to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure in respect of the Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and no Event of  Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  If the Swiss Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.20(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Swiss Borrower to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(j)    Designation of Additional Issuing Banks.  The Swiss Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with notice to the Administrative Agent, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders, that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below.  The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Swiss Borrower, executed by the Swiss Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Revolving Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be 

95

deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.
(k)    Termination of an Issuing Bank.  The Swiss Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent.  Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the third Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero.  At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Swiss Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b).  Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. 
(l)    Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Swiss Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the currency and amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; provided that for purposes of clauses (i) and (v), unless such Issuing Bank shall agree, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to deliver such report and information (x) more frequently than on a monthly basis or (y) that is up-to-date as of a day that is less than 15 days prior to the date of delivery.
(m)    LC Exposure Determination.  For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.
SECTION 2.06.    Funding of Borrowings.  
(a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders (and in the case of Loans denominated in Australian Dollars, to the account of the Administrative Agent at such time and place as shall have been notified by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders by at least two Business Days’ notice).  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement denominated in dollars as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse such 

96

Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (A) in the case of Loans denominated in dollars, the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to (A) in the case of Loans denominated in dollars, ABR Loans of the applicable Class and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan pursuant to Section 2.13.  If such Borrower 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 such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.07.    Interest Elections.  
(a)    Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and Agreed Currency specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03 and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, Term Benchmark Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03.  Thereafter, the applicable Borrower of such Borrowing may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type (provided that, subject to Section 2.14, EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowings denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency and EURIBOR Borrowings may not be converted into ABR Borrowings but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan) or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.  Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by a Financial Officer of the applicable Borrower.
(c)    Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

97

(i)    the Agreed Currency and principal amount of Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing (in the case of Borrowings denominated in dollars), a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a Term Benchmark Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period (i) (x) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (y) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in dollars, such Borrowing shall be deemed to have an Interest Period that is one month and (ii) in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency or a EURIBOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing in its original Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month at the end of such Interest Period.  If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to an RFR Borrowing in a Permitted Foreign Currency prior to the Interest Payment Date therefor, then, unless such RFR Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such RFR Borrowing shall automatically be continued as an RFR Borrowing in its original Agreed Currency bearing interest at a rate based upon the applicable Daily Simple RFR as of such Interest Payment Date.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing with respect to Holdings or any Borrower, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of any Class has notified the Swiss Borrower of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing (or Borrowing of the applicable Class, as applicable) denominated in dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing or RFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (x) each Eurocurrency Borrowing (or Eurocurrency Borrowing of the applicable Class, as applicable) and each Term Benchmark Borrowing, in each case, denominated in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (y) each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Australian Dollars or EURIBOR Euro Tranche Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing, as applicable, in its original Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of

Each notice delivered by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments delivered under this paragraph may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the applicable Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the applicable Borrower in respect of Loans made to such Borrower, LC Disbursements, interest and fees due or accrued, in each case, with respect to such Borrower hereunder; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of such Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION 2.10.    Amortization of Term Loans.   
(a)     Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the Term Borrowers shall jointly and severally repay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Dollar Term Lender, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing on December 31, 2021) in the principal amount of Dollar Term Loans equal to (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Dollar Term Loans outstanding on the Effective Date multiplied by (ii) 0.25%.
(b)    To the extent not previously paid, the Term Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans on the Term Maturity Date.
(c)    Any prepayment by a Borrower of a Term Borrowing of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section as directed in writing by the Swiss Borrower; provided that (A) any prepayment of any Class of Incremental Term Loans shall be applied to subsequent scheduled repayments as provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, (B) any prepayment of Term Borrowings of any Class contemplated by Section 2.23 shall be applied to subsequent scheduled repayments as provided in such Section and (C) if any Lender elects to decline a mandatory prepayment of a Term Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.11(f), then the portion of such prepayment not so declined shall be applied to reduce the subsequent repayments of such Term Borrowing to be made pursuant to this Section ratably based on the amount of such scheduled repayments.

100

(d)    Prior to any repayment of any Term Borrowings of any Class under this Section, a Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (via hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic imaging) of such selection not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, two Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment.  Each repayment of a Term Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Term Borrowing.  Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.
SECTION 2.11.    Prepayment of Loans.   
(a)    The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as set forth in clause (h) of this Section 2.11), subject to Section 2.16.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of each Revolving Borrowing denominated in Permitted Other Currencies and the LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in Permitted Other Currencies as of each Revaluation Date.  Each such determination shall be based on the Exchange Rate (A) on the date of the related Borrowing request for purposes of the initial such determination for any Revolving Borrowing and (B) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date as of which such Dollar Equivalent is to be determined, for purposes of any subsequent determination. In the event and on each occasion that the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Swiss Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings (or, if no such Revolving Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(i)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. In the event and on each occasion that (i) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment (other than as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Loans or the LC Exposure denominated in any Permitted Other Currency on any Revaluation Date) or (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds 105% of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments solely as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Loans or the LC Exposure on any Revaluation Date, the Swiss Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(i)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
(c)    In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings, any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event (including by the Administrative Agent as loss payee in respect of any Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”), the Swiss Borrower shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the Specified Prepayment Event Percentage of the amount of such Net Proceeds (or, if any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has incurred Indebtedness that is permitted under Section 6.01 that is secured, on an equal and ratable basis with the Term Loans, by a Lien on the Collateral permitted under Section 6.02, and such Indebtedness is required to be prepaid or redeemed with the Net Proceeds of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, then by such lesser percentage of such Net Proceeds such that such Indebtedness receives no greater than a ratable percentage of such Net Proceeds based upon the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans and such Indebtedness then outstanding); provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, if the Swiss Borrower shall, on or prior to the date of the required prepayment, deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that Holdings or the Borrowers intend to cause the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) to be applied within 450 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds to be reinvested in the business of Holdings, the Borrowers or their Restricted Subsidiaries, or to enter into an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied by the end of such 

101

450-day period (or within a period of 180 days thereafter if by the end of such initial 450-day period any Borrower or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries shall have committed to invest such proceeds), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied.  
(d)    Following the end of each fiscal year of Holdings, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, the Swiss Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the Specified ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year (such amount, as reduced in accordance with the provisos to this paragraph (d), the “ECF Sweep Amount”); provided that such amount shall be reduced, at the option of the Swiss Borrower, by the aggregate amount of (i) prepayments of Term Borrowings and Revolving Borrowings (but only to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the corresponding Commitment) made pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section during such fiscal year (and, at the Swiss Borrower’s option (and without deducting such amounts against the subsequent fiscal year’s prepayment computation pursuant to this paragraph (d)), after the end of such fiscal year but prior to the date on which the prepayment pursuant to this paragraph (d) for such fiscal year is required to have been made, (ii) voluntary prepayments of any Incremental Facilities, Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness, Alternative Incremental Facility Debt or Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(xx), in each case, that is secured by Liens on the Collateral ranking on an equal priority basis (but without regard to control of remedies) with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations made during such fiscal year, (iii) the amount of reduction in the outstanding amount of the Term Loans resulting from any assignment made in accordance with Section 9.04(e) during such fiscal year, in an amount equal to the actual amount of cash paid in connection therewith, (iv) the sum (without duplication) of (x) the amount of Capital Expenditures made in cash for such fiscal year (and, at the Swiss Borrower’s option (and without deducting such amounts against the subsequent fiscal year’s Excess Cash Flow calculation), after the end of such fiscal year but prior to the date on which the prepayment pursuant to this paragraph (d) for such fiscal year is required to have been made) (except to the extent attributable to the incurrence of Capital Lease Obligations or otherwise financed from Excluded Sources (other than Revolving Loans)) and (y) the amount of cash consideration paid during such fiscal year to make acquisitions or other Investments (other than Permitted Investments) (and, at the Swiss Borrower’s option (and without deducting such amounts against the subsequent fiscal year’s Excess Cash Flow calculation), after the end of such fiscal year but prior to the date on which the prepayment pursuant to this paragraph (d) for such fiscal year is required to have been made) (except to the extent financed from Excluded Sources (other than Revolving Loans)), (v) the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made in cash during such fiscal year in accordance with Section 6.08(a), other than Restricted Payments to Holdings, the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, at the Swiss Borrower’s option (and without deducting such amounts against the subsequent fiscal year’s Excess Cash Flow calculation), after the end of such fiscal year but prior to the date on which the prepayment pursuant to this paragraph (d) for such fiscal year is required to have been made), except to the extent that such Restricted Payments (A) are made to fund expenditures that reduce Consolidated Net Income (or loss) of the Restricted Group or (B) are financed from Excluded Sources (other than Revolving Loans), and (vi) the aggregate amount of mandatory dividends paid on or cash redemptions or repurchases of the Series B Preferred Equity during such fiscal year (and, at the Swiss Borrower’s option (and without deducting such amounts against the subsequent fiscal year’s Excess Cash Flow calculation), after the end of such fiscal year but prior to the date on which the prepayment pursuant to this paragraph (d) for such fiscal year is required to have been made); provided further that, in the case of any Term Loan prepaid in connection with the purchase thereof by a Purchasing Borrower Party pursuant to Section 9.04(e) at a discount to par, the prepayment required pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be reduced, with respect to the prepayment of such Term Loan, only by the actual amount of cash paid to the applicable Lender or Lenders in connection with such purchase.  Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or before the date on which financial statements are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated (and in any event not later than the last day on which such financial statements may be delivered in compliance with such Section).  Any payment of an ECF Sweep Amount pursuant to this clause (d) shall only be required with respect to amounts in 

102

excess of the greater of (x) $22,000,000 and (y) 5.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the applicable fiscal year of Holdings.
(e)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11(c) or (d), (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event by or Excess Cash Flow of a Subsidiary of Holdings giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or (d) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the applicable Borrower, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be taken into account in determining the amount to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or (d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by such Subsidiary, and once such Borrower has determined in good faith that such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, then the amount of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be taken into account as soon as practicable in determining the amount to be applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved if such amounts were repatriated) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or (d), as applicable, (B) to the extent that and for so long as the Swiss Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax or cost consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the amount of Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be taken into account in determining the amount to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or (d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by such Subsidiary; provided that when the Swiss Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be taken into account as soon as practicable in determining the amount to be applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against if such amounts were repatriated) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or (d), as applicable, and (C) to the extent that and for so long as the Swiss Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow would give rise to a risk of liability for the directors of such Subsidiary, the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be taken into account in determining the amount to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or (d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by such Subsidiary.
(f)    Prior to any optional prepayment of Borrowings under this Section, the Swiss Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section.  In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term Borrowings made at a time when Term Borrowings of more than one Class remain outstanding, the aggregate amount of such prepayment shall be allocated among Dollar Tranche Borrowings and Euro Tranche Borrowings and, to the extent provided in the Incremental Facility Amendment for any Class of Incremental Term Loans, the Borrowings of such Class pro rata based on the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class; provided that any Term Lender (and, to the extent provided in the Incremental Facility Amendment for any Class of Incremental Term Loans, any Lender that holds Incremental Term Loans of such Class) may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing (via hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic imaging) at least one Business Day prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Loans pursuant to this Section (other than (x) an optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section or (y) a mandatory prepayment triggered by an event described in clause (c) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, neither of which may be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Loans may be retained by the applicable Borrower.
(g)    The Swiss Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (via hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic imaging) of any optional prepayment  and, to the extent practicable, any mandatory prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of a prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars or, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or a 

103

EURIBOR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of a prepayment of an RFR Borrowing denominated in Sterling, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, five RFR Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an RFR Borrowing denominated in Swiss Francs, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, five RFR Business Days before the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of a prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that (A) if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08 and (B) a notice of prepayment of Term Borrowings pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Swiss Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
(h)    All (i) prepayments of Term Loans effected on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date with the proceeds of a Repricing Transaction, and (ii) amendments, amendments and restatements or other modifications of this Agreement on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date, the effect of which is a Repricing Transaction, shall be accompanied by a fee payable for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Lenders in an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid in the case of a transaction described in clause (i) of this paragraph, or 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Borrowings affected by such amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification in the case of a transaction described in clause (ii) of this paragraph.  Such fee shall be paid by the Term Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Term Lenders of the applicable Class, on the date of such prepayment.
SECTION 2.12.    Fees.  
(a)    The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments for the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate (or are otherwise reduced to zero), a commitment fee which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the aggregate Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender.  Such accrued commitment fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth day following such last day and on the date on which all the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender.  
(b)    The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate then used to determine the interest rate applicable to EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Revolving Loans (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Euro, the interest rate applicable to EURIBOR Revolving Loans) on the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily amount of such Lender’s aggregate LC Exposure 

104

(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which all of such Lender’s Revolving Commitments terminate and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% on the Dollar Equivalent of the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of all the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the fifteenth day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall (x) be payable on the date on which all the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which all the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand and (y) accrue on the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable amounts.  Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand.
(c)    The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
(d)    The Borrowers agree to pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent, for the account of each applicable Arranger and Lender, such other fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing (including pursuant to the Fee Letter and including upfront fees, which may be in the form of original issue discount to the Loans) in the amounts and at the times so specified.
(e)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto.  Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
(f)    All commitment fees, participation fees, fronting fees and other fees payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day and the last day of each period but excluding the last daydate on which the Commitments terminate).
SECTION 2.13.    Interest.  
(a)    The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)    The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted TIBOR Rate, as applicable, for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.  The Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted AUD Rate or the Adjusted TIBOR Rate, as applicable, for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.  The Loans comprising each EURIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.  Each RFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple RFR plus the Applicable Rate.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and an Event of Default under Section 

105

7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, such overdue amount shall bear interest, on and from such date, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.  Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this paragraph (c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender.
(d)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of a Revolving Loan of any Class, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments of such Class; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan, a Term Benchmark Loan or a EURIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e)    Interest computed by reference to the LIBO Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, the EURIBOR Rate or Daily Simple RFR with respect to Swiss Francs and dollars hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  Interest computed by reference to the Daily Simple RFR with respect to Sterling, the AUD Rate, the TIBOR Rate or the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year).  In each case interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day; provided that for purposes of this Section 2.13(e), if a Loan, or a portion thereof, is repaid on the same day on which such Loan is made, one day’s interest shall accrue on the portion of such Loan so prepaid).  All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loans as of the applicable date of determination.  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Term SOFR Rate, Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, EURIBOR Rate, Adjusted TIBOR Rate, TIBOR Rate, Adjusted AUD Rate, AUD Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple RFR or Daily Simple RFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f)    If Swiss Anticipatory Tax in respect of any interest payable will be due under this Agreement and should Section 2.17 be unenforceable for any reason, the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be (i) the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment (as provided for in Section 2.17 in the absence of this paragraph (f)) divided by (ii) 1 minus the rate at which the Swiss Anticipatory Tax is required to be made (where the rate at which the relevant Swiss Anticipatory Tax is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of 1 rather than as a percentage) and (A) that the Swiss Loan Party shall be obliged to pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with this paragraph (f) and (B) all references to a rate of interest in Section 2.17 shall be construed accordingly. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no recalculation of interest shall be made under this paragraph (f) with respect to a specific Lender if the Swiss Non-Bank Rules would not have been violated but for the fact that such Lender, (i) was a Swiss Qualifying Bank but on that date that any Lender is not or has ceased to be a Swiss Qualifying Bank other than as a result of any change of law after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement or (ii) incorrectly declared its status as Swiss Qualifying Bank or, if it is a Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank, incorrectly declared or failed to declare to the best of its knowledge the number of Swiss Non-Qualifying Banks it counts as or failed to notify the Borrower of any change in the number of Swiss Non-Qualifying Banks it counts as, in each case as required pursuant to Section 2.17(h).

(a)    Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.14,2.14(I), if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing:
(i)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, or the EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted TIBOR Rate, the TIBOR Rate or the applicable Daily Simple RFR or RFR, as applicable (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period; or

107

and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed CurrencyEuros cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Eurocurrency Loans and EURIBOR Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than dollars shall, at the Borrowers’ election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrowers on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Loan, such Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Loan denominated in any Agreed Currency other than dollars shall be deemed to be a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in dollars at such time or (iii) if such RFR Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency other than dollars, then such Loan shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Rate; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than dollars, at the Borrowers’ election, shall either (A) be converted into ABR Loans denominated in dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Permitted Foreign Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid in full immediately.

In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Euro Term Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the Adjusted TIBOR Rate, as the case may be, that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable Agreed Currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in applicable offshore interbank 

115

market for such Agreed Currency, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Euro Term Loan was in fact so funded.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the reasons therefor, and showing the calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the Swiss Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.16 will not apply to losses, costs or expenses resulting from Taxes.
(b)    With respect to RFR Loans, in the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(g) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (iviii) the assignment of any RFR Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.19 or (viv) 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 a Permitted Foreign Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the reasons thereof shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.16 will not apply to losses, costs or expenses resulting from Taxes.
SECTION 2.17.    Taxes.  
(a)    Payment Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then an additional amount shall be payable by the applicable Loan Party 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 2.17) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)    Evidence of Payment.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d)    Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) that are payable or paid by such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A 

116

certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Swiss Borrower 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 manifest error.
(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 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 the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph.
(f)    Status of Lenders.  
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Swiss Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Swiss Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Swiss Borrower 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 Swiss Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Swiss Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Swiss Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), 2.17(f)(ii)(B) or 2.17(f)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Swiss Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Swiss Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax;
(B)    with respect to a Term Loan, any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Swiss Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Swiss Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

117

(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the U.S. Co-Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the U.S. Co-Borrower, as 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 or Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4)    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 or Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9 and/or another certification document from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Swiss Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Swiss Borrower 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 Swiss Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Swiss Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Swiss Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Swiss Borrower or the 

118

Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.
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 Swiss Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  
(i)    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 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), 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 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund 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.
(ii)    Each Lender undertakes to collaborate with the Swiss Loan Party and use its reasonable commercial efforts to timely file a claim for refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax, at no cost to the Lender; provided that a Lender shall not be required to take any action in this regard that it determines in its reasonable discretion would be disadvantageous to its interests. In the event Swiss Withholding Tax is refunded to a Lender by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, the relevant Lender shall forward, after deduction of costs, such amount to the applicable Swiss Loan Party, provided that in no event will a Lender be required to pay any amount to a Swiss Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Swiss Withholding Tax had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed.
(h)    Swiss Qualifying Bank. 
(i)    As at the date of this Agreement, each Revolving Lender confirms that it is a Swiss Qualifying Bank or a Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank, provided that prior to the date of this Agreement, any such Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank has confirmed (in form and substance satisfactory to the Swiss Borrower) to the best of its knowledge the number of Swiss Non-Qualifying Banks it counts as, in each case for purposes of determining the number of Swiss Non-Qualifying Banks that are Lenders under this Agreement.
(ii)    Each Revolving Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall confirm, prior to becoming party hereto, for the benefit of 

119

the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Swiss Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls into:  (i) a Swiss Qualifying Bank or (ii) a Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank.  In the latter case, such Revolving Lender shall confirm that it counts as only one (1) Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank for purposes of determining the number of Swiss Non-Qualifying Banks that are Lenders under this Agreement.
(iii)    If a Revolving Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement fails to indicate its status in accordance with clause (ii) of this Section 2.17(h), such Revolving Lender shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement (including by each Loan Party) as if it is a Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent whether it is a Swiss Qualifying Bank or a Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank.   Upon receipt of such notification, the Administrative Agent shall inform the Borrowers or Holdings of such Revolving Lender’s status.
(iv)    Upon request by Holdings or the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender shall confirm whether it is (i) a Swiss Qualifying Bank or (ii) a Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank.  In the latter case, such Revolving Lender shall also confirm that it counts as only one (1) Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank for purposes of determining the number of Swiss Non-Qualifying Banks that are Lenders under this Agreement.
(v)    Each Revolving Lender that is a Swiss Non-Qualifying Bank on the date of this Agreement shall promptly inform the Swiss Borrower if it has reason to believe that the number of Swiss Non-Qualifying Banks it confirmed it counts as pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.17(h) is likely to change or has changed.
(i)    For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Revolving Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.18.    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.  
(a)    Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment  or, if no such time is expressly required, (i) except with respect to payments of principal of and interest on Loans denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and (ii) in the case of payments of principal of and interest on Loans denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, not later than the Applicable Time specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Swiss Borrower at least three Business Days prior to the relevant required date of payment (and, if not so specified, 1:00 p.m., New York City time), in each case, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to such account or accounts as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank shall be so made, payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by Requirements of Law from making any required payment hereunder in Permitted Other Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the alternative currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  If any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  All payments hereunder of principal or interest (or fees in respect of any Term Loan) in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 

120

be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in dollars. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States and, to the extent so required, such payments shall be due prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due.  If, for any reason, a Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in a Permitted Foreign Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Permitted Foreign Currency payment amount.
(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the aggregate amount 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 Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans  or participations in LC Disbursements to any Eligible Assignee, to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof in a transaction that complies with the terms of Section 9.04(e), as applicable.  Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, the amount due.  In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the applicable Overnight Rate.
(e)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(a) or (b), 2.17(e), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied 

121

obligations have been discharged and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
SECTION 2.19.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable and documented assignment fees in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.
(b)    If (i) any Lender has requested compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender has become a Declining Lender under Section 2.22, (v) any Lender is a Disqualified Institution or (vi) any Revolving Lender is not in compliance with Swiss Non-Bank Rules, then the Swiss Borrower may, at its 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 Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a Lender having become a Declining Lender, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of the applicable Class with respect to which such Lender is a Declining Lender) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A) the Swiss Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and unreimbursed participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including, if applicable, the prepayment fee pursuant to Section 2.11(h) (with such assignment being deemed to be an optional prepayment for purposes of determining the applicability of such Section)) (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular Class) from the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees (other than any fee payable pursuant to Section 2.11(h)) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts (including any fee payable pursuant to Section 2.11(h)), (C) the applicable Borrower or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(ii), (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments and (E) such assignment and delegation does not conflict with applicable law.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Swiss Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption 

122

executed by the Swiss Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.
SECTION 2.20.    Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)    commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);
(b)    the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders adversely affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;
(c)    if any LC Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(i)    [reserved];
(ii)    all or any part of the LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(f)) of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; provided that, subject to Section 9.18, no reallocation under this clause (ii) 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;
(iii)    if the reallocation described in clause (ii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Swiss Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iv)    if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(v)    if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (ii) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and
(vi)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder,

all participation fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
(d)    so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by the Swiss Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit will be allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(ii) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
In the event that (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Revolving Lender Parent shall occur following the Effective Date and for so long as such Bankruptcy Event shall continue or (ii) any applicable Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with Holdings and the Swiss Borrower or the applicable Revolving Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, Holdings, the applicable Borrower and each applicable Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused the applicable Revolving Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class of the other Revolving Lenders of such Class as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans of such Class in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Swiss Borrower while such Revolving Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except as otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from a Defaulting Lender to a non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Revolving Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 2.21.    Incremental Extensions of Credit.  
(a)     At any time and from time to time, commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the latest Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request (i) to add one or more additional tranches of term loans denominated in dollars or Euros (the “Incremental Term Loans”), (ii) to add one or more increases in the aggregate amount of any Class of Term Loans denominated in dollars or Euros (each such increase, a “Incremental Term Loan Increase”), (iii) to add one or more additional tranches of revolving commitments available in dollars and/or one or more Permitted Foreign Currencies (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”, and the loans made pursuant thereto, the “Incremental Revolving Loans”), (iv) solely during the Revolving Availability Period, to add one or more increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase” and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, any Incremental Term Loan Increase, any Alternative Incremental 

124

Facility Debt and the Incremental Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Extensions of Credit”; the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Incremental Revolving Loans, together with the Incremental Term Loans, any Revolving Commitment Increase and any Incremental Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental Facilities”) or (v) Alternative Incremental Facility Debt, in an aggregate principal amount of up to the sum of (x) the greater of (I) $440,000,000 and (II) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period prior to the date of incurrence thereof, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, plus (y) the amount of any voluntary prepayments, buybacks or repurchases of the Term Loans, Incremental Facilities, Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness, Alternative Incremental Facility Debt or Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(xx), in each case, that are secured by Liens on the Collateral ranking on an equal priority basis (but without regard to control of remedies) with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations (provided that if such prepaid Indebtedness consists of revolving Indebtedness such prepayments shall be accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the commitments in respect of such revolving Indebtedness) and permanent reductions in the amount of the Revolving Commitments, in each case, to the extent not funded with long-term Indebtedness, plus (z) an additional amount if, after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a Pro Forma Basis (excluding any concurrent borrowings of Revolving Loans and assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Extension of Credit has been funded on such date), (I) if such Incremental Extension of Credit is secured by Liens that rank (or are intended to rank) on an equal priority basis (but without regard to control of remedies) with the Liens securing the Obligations, (A) the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 2.85 to 1.00 or (B) if incurred in connection with a permitted acquisition or other Investment permitted by this Agreement or a refinancing transaction, at the option of the Swiss Borrower, either (1) the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 2.85 to 1.00 or (2) the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio is no greater than the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence, (II) if such Incremental Extension of Credit is secured by Liens that rank (or are intended to rank) on a junior priority basis to the Liens securing the Obligations, (A) the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 2.85 to 1.00 or (B) if incurred in connection with a permitted acquisition or other Investment permitted by this Agreement or a refinancing transaction, at the option of the Swiss Borrower, either (1) the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 2.85 to 1.00 or (2) the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio is no greater than the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence and (III) if such Incremental Extension of Credit is unsecured, at the option of the Swiss Borrower, either (A)(X) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 3.85 to 1.00 or (Y) if incurred in connection with a permitted acquisition or other Investment permitted by this Agreement or a refinancing transaction, at the option of the Swiss Borrower, either (1) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 3.85 to 1.00 or (2) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio is no greater than the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence or (B)(X) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 2.00 to 1.00 or (Y) if incurred in connection with a permitted acquisition or other Investment permitted by this Agreement or a refinancing transaction, at the option of the Swiss Borrower, either (1) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 2.00 to 1.00 or (2) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is no less than the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence, it being understood that if the proceeds of the relevant Incremental Extensions of Credit will be applied to finance a Limited Condition Transaction and the Swiss Borrower has made an LCT Election, compliance with the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio test, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio test, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test and the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio test prescribed above may be determined as of the LCT Test Date in respect of such Limited Condition Transaction on a Pro Forma Basis; provided that, at the time of effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment, no Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom (or, in the event the proceeds of any Incremental Extension of Credit are used to finance any Limited Condition Transaction permitted hereunder for which the Swiss Borrower has made an LCT Election, no Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall exist and be continuing as of the LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition Transaction), and provided further that (i) any Incremental Extension of Credit may be incurred under one or more of clauses (x), (y) and (z) of this Section 2.21(a) as selected by the Swiss Borrower in its sole discretion, (ii) if any Incremental Extension of Credit is intended to be 

125

incurred under clause (z) of this Section 2.21(a) and any other clause of this Section 2.21(a) in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (A) the permissibility of the portion of such Incremental Extension of Credit to be incurred or implemented under clause (z) shall first be determined without giving effect to any Incremental Extension of Credit to be incurred or implemented under any other clause of this Section 2.21(a), but giving full pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of the entire amount of such Incremental Extension of Credit and (B) the permissibility of the portion of such Incremental Extension of Credit to be incurred or implemented under the other applicable clauses of this Section 2.21(a) shall be determined thereafter and (iii) any Incremental Extension of Credit (or, in each case, a portion thereof) previously incurred in reliance on clause (x) or (y) of this Section 2.21(a) shall be automatically reclassified and be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on clause (z) of this Section 2.21(a) to the extent that as of the last day of any fiscal quarter subsequent to the incurrence of such Incremental Extension of Credit, after giving effect to such reclassification, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio test, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio test, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio test or the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio test, as applicable, as each set forth in clause (z) of this Section 2.21(a) would be satisfied.  Each Class of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments, and each Revolving Commitment Increase and Incremental Term Loan Increase, shall be in an integral multiple of the $5,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000; provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Extensions of Credit set forth above.
(b)    The Incremental Facilities (i) shall be documented pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment and may be secured by Liens ranking pari passu with the Lien securing the Initial Term Loans, Liens ranking junior to the Lien securing the Initial Term Loans, or be unsecured, (ii) [reserved], (iii) shall not be (x) secured by any property or assets of Holdings, any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary other than the Collateral or the proceeds of such Indebtedness pending application thereof or (y) guaranteed by any Subsidiaries other than the Loan Parties, (iv) (x) in the form of Incremental Term Loans or any Incremental Term Loan Increase shall be borrowed by one or both of the Term Borrowers and (y) in the form of Incremental Revolving Commitments, Incremental Revolving Loans or a Revolving Commitment Increase, shall be borrowed by the Swiss Borrower and (v) shall, except as otherwise set forth herein, be on terms and subject to conditions as agreed between the applicable Borrower and the Lenders providing the applicable Incremental Extension of Credit and to the extent the covenants and events of default of any Incremental Facility (other than with respect to maturity, amortization and pricing) are inconsistent with those governing the other Loans hereunder, such terms shall be, when taken as a whole, no more favorable to the Lenders providing the applicable Incremental Facility than the terms governing the Loans hereunder, unless (1) the Lenders receive the benefit of such more restrictive terms (it being understood to the extent that any covenant is added for the benefit of any Incremental Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such covenant is also added for the benefit of the Lenders), (2) such more restrictive terms only apply after the Latest Maturity Date, (3) such terms reflect market terms and conditions, taken as a whole, at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Extension of Credit (as determined by Swiss Borrower in good faith) or (4) such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; provided further that (A) for any Incremental Tranche B Term Loans (including in the form of any Incremental Term Loan Increase) incurred prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, if the Weighted Average Yield relating to such Incremental Tranche B Term Loans that (u) rank pari passu to the Initial Term Loans with respect to security, (v) are floating rate term loans, issued in the same currency, that are broadly syndicated to banks and other financial institutions, (w) are in an aggregate amount in excess of the greater of $440,000,000 and 100% of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, (x) are not incurred for the purposes of consummating a permitted acquisition or other Investment permitted under this Agreement, (y) are incurred in reliance on clause (z) of Section 2.21(a) and (z) have a maturity date that is less than six (6) months after the Term Maturity Date, exceeds the Weighted Average Yield relating to the Dollar Term Loans or Euro Term Loans, as applicable (after giving effect to any amendments to the applicable margin on such Class of existing Term Loans prior to the time that such Incremental Term Loans are made) 

126

immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Rate relating to such Class of existing Term Loans shall be adjusted so that the Weighted Average Yield relating to such Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed the Weighted Average Yield relating to such Class of existing Term Loans by more than 0.50%, (B) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have (1) a final maturity date earlier than the Term Maturity Date or (2) a weighted average life to maturity that is shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the then-remaining Term Loans; provided that the requirements set forth in this clause (B) shall not apply to (x) Permitted Earlier Maturing Indebtedness, (y) any Indebtedness consisting of a customary bridge facility so long as such bridge facility converts into long-term Indebtedness that satisfies this clause (B) and such conversion or exchange is subject only to conditions customary for similar conversions or exchanges (as determined by the Swiss Borrower in good faith) or (z) Indebtedness subject to Customary Escrow Provisions, (C) any Incremental Revolving Commitment or any Revolving Commitment Increase shall not have a maturity date that is earlier than the Revolving Maturity Date and shall not require any scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reductions prior to the Revolving Maturity Date and (D) any Incremental Term Loan Increase shall be treated the same as the Class of Term Loans being increased (including with respect to maturity date thereof), shall be considered to be part of the Class of Term Loans being increased and shall be on the same terms applicable to such Term Loans.
(c)    Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend Incremental Extensions of Credit (other than any Alternative Incremental Facility Debt) (i) shall, to the extent a consent would be required under Section 9.04 if such additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person were taking an assignment of Loans or Commitments, be approved by the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitment or Revolving Commitment Increase, each applicable Issuing Bank) (such approval not be unreasonably withheld) (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and (ii) if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the applicable Borrower, each such Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent.  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Facility unless it so agrees.  Commitments in respect of any Incremental Facility shall become Commitments (or in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Lender’s Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement upon the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment.  An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement or to any other Loan Document as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section (including to provide for voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders comparable to the provisions of clause (B) of the second proviso of Section 9.02(b)).  
(d)    On the date of effectiveness of any Revolving Commitment Increase, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding (the “Existing Revolving Borrowings”) immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be deemed to be repaid, (ii) each Revolving Commitment Increase Lender that shall have had a Revolving Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) (1) such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings (as hereinafter defined) exceeds (B) (1) such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, (iii) each Revolving Commitment Increase Lender that shall not have had a Revolving Commitment prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to (1) such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of 

127

such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class the portion of such funds that is equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) (1) such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings, exceeds (B) (1) such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Resulting Revolving Borrowings, (v) after the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase, the Swiss Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Revolving Borrowings (the “Resulting Revolving Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Revolving Borrowings and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03 (and the Swiss Borrower shall deliver such Borrowing Request), (vi) each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class shall be deemed to hold its Applicable Percentage of each Resulting Revolving Borrowing (calculated after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase) and (vii) the Swiss Borrower shall pay each Revolving Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Existing Revolving Borrowings.  The deemed payments of the Existing Revolving Borrowings made pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to compensation by the Swiss Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.16 if the date of the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto.  Upon each Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Revolving Commitment Increase Lender, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.21, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise, after giving effect to any transaction contemplated in this Section 2.21, there shall not be more than twelve Classes of Loans or Commitments (including any revolving and term loan facilities) hereunder at any one time outstanding.
SECTION 2.22.    Extension of Maturity Date.  
(a)     The Swiss Borrower may, by delivery of a Maturity Date Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each of the Lenders) prior to the then-existing Maturity Date for the applicable Class of Commitments and/or Loans hereunder to be extended (the “Existing Maturity Date”), request that the Lenders extend the Existing Maturity Date in accordance with this Section; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, each Lender may elect to agree or not agree, in its sole discretion, to an extension of a Maturity Date.  Each Maturity Date Extension Request shall (i) specify the applicable Class of Commitments and/or Loans hereunder to be extended, (ii) specify the date to which the applicable Maturity Date is sought to be extended, (iii) specify the changes, if any, to the Applicable Rate to be applied in determining the interest payable on the Loans of, and fees payable hereunder to, Consenting Lenders (as defined below) in respect of that portion of their Commitments and/or Loans extended to such new Maturity Date and the time as of which such changes will become effective (which may be prior to the Existing Maturity Date) and (iv) specify any other amendments or modifications to this Agreement to be effected in connection with such Maturity Date Extension Request; provided that no such changes or modifications requiring approvals pursuant to the provisos to Section 9.02(b) shall become effective prior to the Existing Maturity Date unless such other approvals have been obtained.  In the event a Maturity 

128

Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Swiss Borrower, each Lender shall have the right to agree to the extension of the Existing Maturity Date and other matters contemplated thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (each Lender agreeing to the Maturity Date Extension Request being referred to herein as a “Consenting Lender” and each Lender not agreeing thereto being referred to herein as a “Declining Lender”), which right may be exercised by written notice thereof, specifying the maximum amount of the Commitment and/or Loans of such Lender with respect to which such Lender agrees to the extension of the Maturity Date, delivered to the Swiss Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than a day to be agreed upon by the Swiss Borrower and the Administrative Agent following the date on which the Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Swiss Borrower (it being understood and agreed that any Lender that shall have failed to exercise such right as set forth above shall be deemed to be a Declining Lender).  If a Lender elects to extend only a portion of its then existing Commitment and/or Loans, it will be deemed for purposes hereof to be a Consenting Lender in respect of such extended portion and a Declining Lender in respect of the remaining portion of its Commitment and/or Loans, and the aggregate principal amount of each Type and currency of Loans of the applicable Class of such Lender shall be allocated ratably among the extended and non-extended portions of the Loans of such Lender based on the aggregate principal amount of such Loans so extended and not extended.  If Consenting Lenders shall have agreed to such Maturity Date Extension Request in respect of Commitments and/or Loans held by them, then, subject to paragraph (d) of this Section, on the date specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request as the effective date thereof (the “Extension Effective Date”), (i) the Existing Maturity Date of the applicable Commitments and/or Loans shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to such date as shall be specified therein, (ii) the terms and conditions of the applicable Commitments and/or Loans of the Consenting Lenders (including interest and fees (including Letter of Credit fees) payable in respect thereof) shall be modified as set forth in the Maturity Date Extension Request and (iii) such other modifications and amendments hereto specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request shall (subject to any required approvals (including those of the Required Lenders) having been obtained) become effective.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swiss Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.19(b) and 9.04, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, only in respect of that portion of such Lender’s Commitment and/or Loans subject to a Maturity Date Extension Request that it has not agreed to extend) with a Lender or other financial institution that will agree to such Maturity Date Extension Request, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender in respect of the Commitment and/or Loans assigned to and assumed by it on and after the effective time of such replacement.
(c)    If a Maturity Date Extension Request has become effective hereunder:
(i)    solely in respect of a Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in respect of the Revolving Commitments, not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Existing Maturity Date, the Swiss Borrower shall make prepayments of Revolving Loans and shall provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit, in each case, in the manner set forth in Section 2.05(i), such that, after giving effect to such prepayments and such provision of cash collateral, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure as of such date will not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Consenting Lenders extended pursuant to this Section (and the Swiss Borrower shall not be permitted thereafter to request any Revolving Loan or any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so extended);
(ii)    solely in respect of a Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in respect of the Revolving Commitments, on the Existing Maturity Date, the Revolving Commitment of each Declining Lender shall, to the extent not assumed, assigned or transferred as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, terminate, and the 

129

Swiss Borrower shall repay all the Revolving Loans made by each Declining Lender to such Borrower to the extent such Loans shall not have been so purchased, assigned and transferred, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and other amounts owing to such Declining Lender hereunder, it being understood and agreed that, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, such repayments may be funded with the proceeds of new Revolving Borrowings made simultaneously with such repayments by the Consenting Lenders, which such Revolving Borrowings shall be made ratably by the Consenting Lenders in accordance with their extended Revolving Commitments; and
(iii)    solely in respect of a Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in respect of a Class of Term Loans, on the Existing Maturity Date, each Borrower shall repay all the Loans of such Class made by each Declining Lender to such Borrower, to the extent such Loans shall not have been so purchased, assigned and transferred, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and all fees and other amounts owing to such Declining Lender hereunder, it being understood and agreed that, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, such repayments may be funded with the proceeds of new Revolving Borrowings made simultaneously with such repayments by the Revolving Lenders.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Maturity Date Extension Request shall become effective hereunder unless, on the Extension Effective Date, the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such Maturity Date Extension Request) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Swiss Borrower.
(e)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is hereby agreed that no extension of an Existing Maturity Date in accordance with the express terms of this Section, or any amendment or modification of the terms and conditions of the Commitments and the Loans of the Consenting Lenders effected pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to (i) violate the last sentence of Section 2.08(c) or Section 2.18(b) or 2.18(c) or any other provision of this Agreement requiring the ratable reduction of Commitments or the ratable sharing of payments or (ii) require the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders under Section 9.02(b). 
(f)    The Swiss Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Consenting Lenders may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to effect such modifications as may be necessary to reflect the terms of any Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.22, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise, after giving effect to any transaction contemplated in this Section 2.22, there shall not be more than twelve Classes of Loans or Commitments (including any revolving and term loan facilities) hereunder at any one time outstanding.
SECTION 2.23.    Refinancing Facilities.  
(a)    Each Borrower may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, obtain Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the applicable Borrower proposes that such Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness shall be made, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that:
(i)    no Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing,

130

(ii)    substantially concurrently with the incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness, the applicable Borrower shall repay or prepay then outstanding Term Borrowings of the applicable Class made to such Borrower (together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any prepayment premium with respect thereto) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness, and any such prepayment of Term Borrowings of such Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.09(a) ratably, 
(iii)    such notice shall set forth, with respect to the Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness established thereby in the form of Refinancing Term Loans, to the extent applicable, the following terms thereof: (a) the designation of such Refinancing Term Loans as a new “Class” for all purposes hereof, (b) the stated termination and maturity dates applicable to the Refinancing Term Loans of such Class, (c) amortization applicable thereto and the effect thereon of any prepayment of such Refinancing Term Loans, (d) the interest rate or rates applicable to the Refinancing Term Loans of such Class, (e) the fees applicable to the Refinancing Term Loans of such Class, (f) any original issue discount applicable thereto, (g) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable to Refinancing Term Loans of such Class and (h) any voluntary or mandatory commitment reduction or prepayment requirements applicable to Refinancing Term Loans of such Class (which prepayment requirements may provide that such Refinancing Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment on a pro rata basis with any Class of existing Term Loans, but may not provide for prepayment requirements that are materially more favorable (as determined by Swiss Borrower in good faith) to the Lenders holding such Refinancing Term Loans than to the Lenders holding such Class of Term Loans) and any restrictions on the voluntary or mandatory reductions or prepayments of Refinancing Term Loans of such Class, 
(iv)    such Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness will, to the extent secured, rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, and
(v)    the holders of, or an agent, trustee or note agent acting on behalf of the holders of, such Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness (unless incurred hereunder as an additional Class) shall have become party to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement if such Indebtedness is secured by Liens on the Collateral ranking pari passu with or junior to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations.
(b)    Any Lender or any other Eligible Assignee approached by a Borrower to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide any Refinancing Term Loan Indebtedness.
(c)    Any Refinancing Term Loans shall be established pursuant to a Refinancing Facility Agreement executed and delivered by Holdings, the applicable Borrower, each Refinancing Term Lender providing such Refinancing Term Loan and the Administrative Agent, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in clause (a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender).  Each Refinancing Facility Agreement shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto and may effect amendments to the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, to effect provisions of this Section 2.23, including any amendments necessary to treat such Refinancing Term Loans as a new “Class” of loans hereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Facility Agreement.
(d)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.23, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise, after giving effect to any transaction contemplated in this Section 2.23, there shall not be more than twelve Classes 

131

of Loans or Commitments (including any revolving and term loan facilities) hereunder at any one time outstanding.

(g)     any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due or being terminated or required to be prepaid, repurchased, redeemed or defeased prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with all applicable grace periods in respect of such event or condition under the documentation representing such Material Indebtedness having expired) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf, or, in the case of any Hedging Agreement, the applicable counterparty, to cause any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to terminate or require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to (x) any secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale, transfer or other disposition (including as a result of a casualty or condemnation event) of the assets securing such Indebtedness (to the extent such sale, transfer or other disposition is not prohibited under this Agreement), or (y) any Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of a voluntary refinancing thereof permitted under Section 6.01 or (z) termination events or similar events occurring under any Hedging Agreement (other than a termination event or similar event as to which Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is the defaulting party) that constitutes Material Indebtedness (it being understood that paragraph (f) of this Section 7.01 will apply to any failure to make any payment required as a result of such termination or similar event);

Solely for the purposes of determining whether a Default has occurred under clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, any reference in any such paragraph to any Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed not to include any Restricted Subsidiary affected by any event or circumstance referred to in such paragraph that is not a Material Subsidiary; provided that (i) if it is necessary to exclude more than one Restricted Subsidiary from clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 pursuant to this paragraph in order to avoid a Default, the aggregate consolidated assets of all such excluded Restricted Subsidiaries as of such last day may not exceed 7.5% of the Consolidated Total Assets of Holdings, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries and the aggregate consolidated revenues of all such excluded Restricted Subsidiaries for such four fiscal quarter period may not exceed 7.5% of the consolidated revenues of Holdings, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries and (ii) in no circumstance shall the Lux Borrower be excluded from clause (h) of (i) of Section 7.01.
SECTION 7.03.    Net Short Lenders.  
(a)    Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Administrative Agent to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Lender Direction”) provided by any one or more Lenders (other than any Lender that is a Regulated Bank, any Lender that is a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of the foregoing) (each a “Directing Lender”) will be deemed to be a representation from each such Lender to the Swiss Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Lender is not Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Lender Direction relating to the delivery of a notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Obligations are accelerated. 
(b)    Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Lender’s participation in such Lender Direction being disregarded and if, without the participation of such Lender, the percentage of Obligations held by the remaining Lenders that provided such Lender Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Lender Direction, such Lender Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that any resulting acceleration shall be voided and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have received such Lender Direction or any notice from any Lender of such Default or Event of Default.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, any Lender Direction delivered to the Administrative Agent during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs.
(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Lender Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Agreement, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, verify any statements in any officer’s certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise.  The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other person in acting on a Lender Direction.
SECTION 7.04.    Application of Payments.  

170

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies, and all payments received on account of the Obligations after the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 7.01 shall, subject to Section 2.20, be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:
(i)    first, to payment of that portion of the Loan Document Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent payable under Section 9.03 and amounts pursuant to Section 2.12(c) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such);
(ii)    second, to payment of that portion of the Loan Document Obligations constituting fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements, interest and Letter of Credit fees) payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks payable under Section 9.03) arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them;
(iii)    third, to payment of that portion of the Loan Document Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit fees and charges and interest on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iii) payable to them;

(v)    fifth, to the payment in full of all other Obligations, in each case ratably among the Secured Parties based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to them in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and payable; and
(vi)    finally, the balance, if any, after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law; 
(c)    If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired (without any pending drawings), such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedging Obligations 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 

171

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 this 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 as its agent pursuant to the terms of Article VIII hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if it were a “Lender” party hereto.
ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent
SECTION 8.01.    Appointment and Other Matters.  

(a)    Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve as administrative agent, security trustee and collateral agent (and, with respect to any Non-U.S. Security Documents governed by the laws of Mexico, as comisionista pursuant to Articles 273 and 274 of the Mexican Commerce Code (Código de Comercio)) under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s behalf. Each of the Secured Parties appoints the Collateral Agent (as defined in the Security Documents) as its representative (vertegenwoordiger/représentant) for the purposes of Article 5 of the Belgian financial collateral law of 15 December 2004 (as amended from time to time) (the “Belgian Financial Collateral Act”) for the purpose of executing, perfecting, managing and enforcing the Security Documents governed by the laws of Belgium and falling within the scope of the Belgian Financial Collateral Act. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.  In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)    the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting 

172

parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;
(ii)    where the Administrative Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee in respect of any Collateral over which a security interest has been created pursuant to a Loan Document expressed to be governed by the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, any Non-U.S. Material Jurisdiction or any Non-U.S. Designated Jurisdiction, the obligations and liabilities of the Administrative Agent to the Secured Parties in its capacity as trustee shall be excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law;
(iii)    to the extent that English law is applicable to the duties of the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 of the United Kingdom shall not apply to the duties of the Administrative Agent in relation to the trusts constituted by such Loan Document; where there are inconsistencies between the Trustee Act 1925 or the Trustee Act 2000 of the United Kingdom and the provisions of this Agreement or such Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prevail and, in the case of any inconsistency with the Trustee Act 2000 of the United Kingdom, the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a restriction or exclusion for the purposes of that Act; 
(iv)    nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account; and 
    (v)        in relation to the Swiss Security Documents (i) the Administrative Agent holds: (A) any security created or evidenced or expressed to be created under or pursuant to a Swiss Security Document by way of a security assignment (Sicherungsabtretung) or transfer for security purposes (Sicherungsübereignung) or any other non-accessory (nicht akzessorische) security, (B) the benefit of this Section 8.01 and (C) any proceeds and other benefits of such security, as fiduciary (treuhänderisch) in its own name but for the account of all relevant Secured Parties which have the benefit of such security in accordance with this Agreement and the respective Swiss Security Document; (ii) each present and future Secured Party hereby authorises the Administrative Agent (A) to accept and execute as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any Swiss law pledge or any other Swiss law accessory (akzessorische) security created or evidenced or expressed to be created under or pursuant to a Swiss Security Document for the benefit of such Secured Party and hold, administer and, if necessary, enforce any such security on behalf of each relevant Secured Party which has the benefit of such security, (B) to agree as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) to amendments and alterations to any Swiss Security Document which creates or evidences or expresses to create a pledge or any other Swiss law accessory (akzessorische) security, (C) to effect as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any release of a security created or evidenced or expressed to be created under a Swiss Security Document in accordance with this Agreement; and (D) to exercise as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) such other rights granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the relevant Swiss Security Document.
(b)    The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent.  The terms “Issuing Banks”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as 

173

a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable.  The Person serving as Administrative Agent 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 Holdings, 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 or the Issuing Banks.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the 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 necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (A) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (B) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided further that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided, and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  
(d)    The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties or any of their respective offices or branches.  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 credit facilities provided for herein 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 or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
(e)    In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, State or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, Examinership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement 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 Swiss Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the 

174

Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, Examiner, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party 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, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03).  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Arrangers nor any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or a Documentation Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.
(g)    The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Swiss Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of Holdings, any Borrower or any Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.  Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.
(h)    In addition to any other appointments and prerogatives of the Administrative Agent set forth herein and in any other Loan Documents, the Secured Parties appoint and designate the Administrative Agent as beneficiary of the security created under the Security Documents governed by Romanian law for the purpose of securing the Obligations owing from time to time by that Loan Party to any Secured Party under any of the Loan Documents (the “Romanian Security Documents”), including within the meaning and for the purpose of Article 164 of Romanian law no. 71/2011 for the application of Romanian Law no. 287/2009 regarding the Romanian Civil Code, and the Administrative Agent is empowered to exercise all rights and prerogatives granted to a secured creditor by law or the Romanian Security Documents in respect of the security created under the Romanian Security Documents (including, without limitation to perform any perfection formalities and to take any enforcement or similar action in respect of the Romanian Security Documents).
SECTION 8.02.    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc    .  
(a)    Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of 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 to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any 

175

officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. 
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by Holdings, the Swiss Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the value or sufficiency of the Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Exposure or the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender or Issuing Bank, or of the Weighted Average Yield, or any Exchange Rate, Dollar Equivalent or Euro Equivalent.
(c)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 9.04, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 9.04(b), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).
SECTION 8.03.    Successor Administrative Agent    .  
(a)    Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign from its capacity as such upon 30 days’ notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Swiss Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Swiss Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so 

176

appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by Holdings and/or the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by Holdings, the Swiss Borrower and such successor. 
(b)    Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Swiss Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank.  Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.
SECTION 8.04.    Acknowledgments of Lenders and Issuing Banks    .  
(a)     Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case, in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, 

177

acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates) 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. 
(b)    Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.
(c)    (i) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies  such Lender or such Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or such Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or such Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.04(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(ii)    Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or such Issuing Bank (as applicable) shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate 

178

and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(iii)    The Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or such Issuing Bank (as applicable) with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party.
(iv)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.04(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
SECTION 8.05.    Collateral Matters    .  
(a)    Except (x) with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.08, (y) with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding or (z) as provided in the Security Documents of a Non-U.S. Loan Party, and subject to the terms of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. 
(b)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of Cash Management Services the obligations under which constitute Secured Cash Management Obligations and no Hedging Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Hedging Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement except as expressly provided in such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement.  By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Cash Management Services or Hedging Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents and each such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.
(c)    The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document and any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(a)(v).  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.
(d)    The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent to, without any further consent of any Lender or any other Secured Party, enter into (or acknowledge and consent to) any Acceptable Intercreditor 

179

Agreement as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or amend, renew, extend, supplement, restate, replace, waive or otherwise modify any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement as provided by the terms of such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement.  The Lenders and the other Secured Parties irrevocably agree that each Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement entered into by the Administrative Agent shall be binding on the Secured Parties, and each Lender and each of the other Secured Parties hereby agrees that it will take no actions contrary to the provisions of each such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement.  The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to any provider of any Indebtedness not prohibited by Section 6.01 hereof to extend credit to the Loan Parties and such persons are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions.
SECTION 8.06.    Credit Bidding.
(a)    The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (A) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (B) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.  Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute 

180

such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b)    In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

181

SECTION 8.09.    Administrator Appointed to Australian Loan Party.  For the avoidance of doubt, if:
(a)    an administrator (other than an administrator appointed by the Administrative Agent) has been appointed under the Australian Corporations Act to an Australian Loan Party; and
(b)    the Administrative Agent is entitled under section 441A of the Australian Corporations Act to enforce a Security Document over that Australian Loan Party’s property within the “decision period” (as defined in the Australian Corporations Act) provided for under that section,
then the Administrative Agent may (without any further instructions) enforce that Security Document (including the appointment of a controller) but need not do so (and is not liable to the Secured Parties if it does not do so).

(a)        No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.  No notice or demand on Holdings or any Borrower in any case shall entitle Holdings or such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)    Except as provided in Sections 2.14(I)(b), 2.14(I)(c), 2.14(I)(d) 2.14(II)(b), 2.14(II)(c), 2.21, 2.22, 2.23 and 9.02(c), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Swiss Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory prepayment will not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, in each case without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory prepayment (or any amendment to the terms thereof) will not constitute a reduction in the principal amount of any Loan), (iii) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10 or the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory prepayment (or any amendment to the terms thereof) will not constitute a postponement of the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees payable hereunder), (iv) change (x) Section 2.18(a), Section 2.18(c), Section 7.04 or any other Section hereof providing for the ratable treatment of the Lenders, in each case in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby or (y) change Section 2.18(b) without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or “Majority in Interest” or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or otherwise modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as applicable); provided that, with the consent of the 

185

Required Lenders, the provisions of this Section and the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or “Majority in Interest” may be amended to include references to any new class of loans created under this Agreement (or to lenders extending such loans) on substantially the same basis as the corresponding references relating to the existing Classes of Loans or Lenders, (vi) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees provided by the Loan Parties under the Security Documents, in each case without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 9.14 or the Security Documents) (including any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Subsidiary upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), it being understood and agreed that an amendment or other modification of the type of obligations guaranteed under the Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of any Guarantee, (vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 9.14 or the applicable Security Document (including any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), it being understood and agreed that an amendment or other modification of the type of obligations secured by the Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, (viii) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.02 without the written consent of each Lender with a Revolving Commitment and each Issuing Bank (as applicable), (ix) change any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of Collateral securing the obligations owed to, or payments due to, Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each adversely affected Class, (x) expressly subordinate a material portion of the Obligations (in right of payment), or a material portion of the Liens securing of the Obligations (in right of security), to any other Indebtedness or Lien, as the case may be, without the prior written consent of each directly and adversely affected Lender, or (xi) change Section 6.13 (including any defined terms as they relate thereto or waive an Event of Default arising from noncompliance therewith), without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (in lieu of the Required Lenders); provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, (B) any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Swiss Borrower and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time (provided that any change that would directly and adversely affect a Class of Lenders hereunder shall require the written consent of the Majority in Interest with respect to each such Class directly and adversely affected thereby), (C) if the terms of any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document provide that any Class of Loans (together with all accrued interest thereon and all accrued fees payable with respect to the Commitments of such Class) will be repaid or paid in full, and the Commitments of such Class (if any) terminated, as a condition to the effectiveness of such waiver, amendment or other modification, then so long as the Loans of such Class (together with such accrued interest and fees) are in fact repaid or paid in full and such Commitments are in fact terminated, in each case prior to or substantially simultaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, then such Loans and Commitments shall not be included in the determination of the Required Lenders with respect to such amendment and (D) no amendment, waiver or other modification of Section 1.12 of this Agreement may be effected without the written consent of all Restricted Credit Parties.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (1) no consent with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such waiver, amendment or other modification, (2) any provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Swiss Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, (ii) to comply with local law or advice of 

186

local counsel or (iii) to cause any guarantee, collateral security document (including Mortgages) or other document to be consistent with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and each Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and (3) this Agreement may be amended to provide for Incremental Facilities in the manner contemplated by Section 2.21, the extension of the Maturity Date as provided in Section 2.22 and the incurrence of Refinancing Term Loans as provided in Section 2.23, in each case without any additional consents.
(c)    In connection with any Proposed Change requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders (and, to the extent any Proposed Change requires the consent of Lenders holding Loans of any Class pursuant to clause (B) of the second proviso of paragraph (b) of this Section, the consent of a Majority in Interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of such Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender” for purposes of this clause (c)), then the Swiss Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) if the Administrative Agent is not such Non-Consenting Lender, the Swiss Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank) to the extent otherwise required by Section 9.04(b), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including, if applicable, the prepayment fee pursuant to Section 2.11(h) (with such assignment being deemed to be an optional prepayment for purposes of determining the applicability of such Section) from the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees (other than any fee payable pursuant to Section 2.11(h)) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts (including any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.11(h)), (iii) the applicable Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b), (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (v) the assignee shall have given its consent to such Proposed Change and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, such Proposed Change can be effected. Any assignment required pursuant to this Section 9.02(c) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and the Lender required to make such assignment shall not be required to be a party to such Assignment and Assumption.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Secured Party, consent to a departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of such Loan Party set forth in this Agreement or any Security Document to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent set forth in the definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” and in Section 5.13.
(e)    The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute waivers, amendments or other modifications on behalf of such Lender.  Any waiver, amendment or other modification effected in accordance with this Section, shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any determination as to whether the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or 

187

required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, any Lender (other than any Lender that is a Regulated Bank, any Lender that is a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of the foregoing) that is Net Short shall, unless the Swiss Borrower otherwise elects (in its sole discretion), have no right to vote any of its Loans or Commitments and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short.
SECTION 9.03.    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  
(a)     Expenses.  Holdings and the Borrowers shall pay, (i) all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and their respective Affiliates (without duplication), including the reasonable and documented fees and charges and disbursements of a single primary counsel and to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and any credit or similar facility refinancing or replacing, in whole or in part, any of the credit facilities provided for herein, as well as the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any waiver, amendments or modifications of the provisions hereof or thereof, (ii) all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Arranger, including the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for each of the foregoing, taken as a whole, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(b)    Indemnity.  Holdings and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Swiss Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of one other  firm of counsel for all such affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole,  and, if reasonably necessary, of another firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole)), incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitees arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to (i) the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii)  any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, to or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly 

188

owned or operated by Holdings, any Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related to Holdings, any Borrower or any Subsidiary, in each case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (A) the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Related Parties, (B) a material breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Related Parties or (C) a proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by Holdings, any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than a proceeding that is brought against the Administrative Agent or any other agent or any Arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its roles as an agent or arranger hereunder or any similar role with respect to the Indebtedness incurred or to be incurred hereunder).  This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)    To the extent that Holdings and each Borrower fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting their obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as applicable, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood and agreed that any Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve such Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity; provided further that, with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or to any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for any Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts.  For purposes of this Section, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined by its share of the sum of the total Revolving Exposure, unused Revolving Commitments and, except for purposes of the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, the outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Commitments, in each case at that time.  The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(a) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph).
(d)    Limitation of Liability.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) neither Holdings nor any Borrower shall assert, or permit any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the extent such damages are found in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Lender-Related Person or Related Party of any Lender-Related Person and (ii) neither any Lender-Related Person nor any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be liable 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 or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that (x) nothing in this clause (ii) shall limit the expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations of Holdings and each Borrower set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 9.03 with respect to amounts incurred or paid to a third 

189

party and (y) nothing in this Section 9.03(d) shall relieve the Borrowers and each other Loan Party of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Sections 9.03(b) and (c), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
(e)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.04.    Successors and Assigns.  
(a)    General.  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 (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) neither Holdings nor any Borrower may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment, delegation or transfer by Holdings or a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.  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 (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of any of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Lenders.  (i)  Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of (A) the Swiss Borrower (in the case of the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that the Swiss Borrower withholding such consent for reasons related to the Swiss 10 Non-Bank Rule or the Swiss 20 Non-Bank Rule shall be deemed reasonable)) or the Lux Borrower (in the case of the Term Commitments and Term Loans, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of any Borrower shall be required (1) with respect to Term Commitments or Term Loans, for an assignment and delegation to a Term Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (provided that no consent of the Swiss Borrower shall be required for a Lender to assign its Commitments and Loans to any of its Affiliates to the extent that such Affiliate is a Swiss Qualifying Bank) and (2) if an Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, for any other assignment and delegation; provided further that the Lux Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment and delegation of rights and obligations of Term Loans unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof, (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment and delegation of all or any portion of a Term Commitment or Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (C) each Issuing Bank, in the case of any assignment and delegation of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure.
(ii)    Assignments and delegations shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment and delegation to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment and delegation of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the 

190

amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment and delegation (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment and delegation or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment and delegation is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of Dollar Term Loans, $1,000,000 or, in the case of Euro Term Loans, €1,000,000 (treating contemporaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds as a single assignment for purposes of such minimum transfer amount), unless each of the Swiss Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Swiss Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, (B) each partial assignment and delegation shall be made as an assignment and delegation of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment and delegation of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment and delegation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that (1) the Administrative Agent may waive or reduce such fee in its sole discretion and (2) with respect to any assignment and delegation pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or 9.02(c), the parties hereto agree that such assignment and delegation may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto, and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws.
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned and delegated by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned and delegated by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all 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 (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid).  Any assignment, delegation or other transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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 Section 9.04(c).
(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for 

191

inspection by the Borrowers and any Issuing Bank or any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)    Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment and delegation required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee.  No assignment or delegation shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph and, following such recording, unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, which determination may be conditioned on the consent of the assigning Lender and the assignee), shall be effective notwithstanding any defect in the Assignment and Assumption relating thereto.  Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that all written consents required by this Section with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Assumption is otherwise duly completed and in proper form, and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee.
(vi)    The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as applicable, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar State laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
(vii)    In the case of any assignment, transfer or novation by a Lender to an Eligible Assignee, or any participation by such Lender in favor of a Participant, of all or any part of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted hereunder, such Lender and the Eligible Assignee or Participant (as applicable) and any Loan Party incorporated in Luxembourg hereby agree that, for the purposes of Article 1278 and/or Article 1281 of the Luxembourg Civil Code (to the extent applicable), any assignment, amendment, transfer and/or novation of any kind permitted under, and made in accordance with the provisions of, this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein to which a Loan Party incorporated in Luxembourg is a party (including any Security Document), any security created or guarantee given under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be preserved and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of such Eligible Assignee or Participant (as applicable).
(c)    Participations.  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more Eligible 

192

Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans of any Class); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations (C) Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (D) the relationship between the Lender and the Participant is that of a debtor and creditor (including in the bankruptcy or similar event of the Lender) and (E) the Participant will under no circumstances (x) be subrogated to, or substituted in respect of, the Lender’s claims under this Agreement and (y) have otherwise any contractual  relationship with, or rights against, any Borrower under or in relation to this Agreement.  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 or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (vi) or (vii) in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders.  Holdings and the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood and agreed that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment and delegation pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Swiss Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Swiss Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower, 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document (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 this Agreement or any other 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 manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)    Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to (x) a Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available on a confidential basis to any Lender, Participant, prospective Lender or prospective Participant, in each case, who specifically requests a copy thereof, or (y) a natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other “central” bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender 

193

from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e)    Purchasing Borrower Parties.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of “Eligible Assignee”), any Lender may assign and delegate all or a portion of its Term Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party (x) through open market purchases made by such Purchasing Borrower Party on a non-pro rata basis (subject to clause (v) below) or (y) otherwise in accordance with clauses (i) through (vii) below (which assignment and delegation, in the case of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) will not constitute a prepayment of Loans for any purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents); provided that, in the case of assignments and delegations made pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) (other than in the case of an Affiliated Debt Fund, which will be subject the Affiliated Debt Fund Restrictions set forth below):
(i)    no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;
(ii)    each Auction Purchase Offer shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph and the Auction Procedures;
(iii)    the assigning Lender and Purchasing Borrower Party purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption;
(iv)    for the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders shall not be permitted to assign or delegate Revolving Commitments or Revolving Exposure to a Purchasing Borrower Party;
(v)    to the extent permitted by applicable law and not giving rise to any adverse tax consequence, (x) any Term Loans assigned and delegated to any Purchasing Borrower Party other than any Non-Affiliated Debt Fund shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and delegation and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder (it being understood that any such Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon such contribution) (it being understood and agreed that (A) except as expressly set forth in any such definition, any gains or losses by any Purchasing Borrower Party upon purchase or acquisition and cancellation of such Term Loans shall not be taken into account in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow, Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA and (B) any purchase of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 9.04(e) shall not constitute a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans for purposes of this Agreement) and (y) Term Loans assigned and delegated to any Non-Affiliated Debt Fund may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(vi)    the Purchasing Borrower Party shall either (A) not have any MNPI that has not been disclosed to the assigning Lender (other than any such Lender that does not wish to receive MNPI) on or prior to the date of any initiation of an Auction by such Purchasing Borrower Party or (B) advise the assigning Lender that it cannot make the statement in the foregoing clause (A), except to the extent that such Lender has entered into a customary “big boy” letter with Holdings or the Swiss Borrower;
(vii)    no Purchasing Borrower Party may use the proceeds from Revolving Loans to purchase any Term Loans; 
(viii)    Purchasing Borrower Parties will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the 

194

Administrative Agent, other than information that has been made available by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II);
(ix)    for purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Loan Document (including such modifications pursuant to Section 9.02) that requires the consent, approval or waiver of the Required Lenders, or any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Purchasing Borrower Party (in its capacity as a Lender) as compared to other Lenders in a disproportionately adverse manner, Purchasing Borrower Parties will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Purchasing Borrower Parties voting on such matter (and such Purchasing Borrower Parties  shall be disregarded in the determination of any Required Lender vote); and each Purchasing Borrower Party hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, that (1) no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall deprive any Purchasing Borrower Party of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder, in each case without the consent of such Purchasing Borrower Party and (ii) each Purchasing Borrower Party will be entitled to vote its interests in any Term Loan to the extent that any plan of reorganization or other arrangement with respect to which the relevant vote is sought proposes to treat the interest of such Purchasing Borrower Party in such Term Loan in a manner that is less favorable to such Purchasing Borrower Party than the proposed treatment of Term Loans held by other Term Lenders;
(x)    no Purchasing Borrower Party shall have any right to make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent or any other such Lender under the Loan Documents; and 
(xi)    the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased by assignment pursuant to this Section 9.04 and held at any one time by Purchasing Borrower Parties, other than Holdings, the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary, may not exceed 30.0% of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans, calculated at the time such Term Loans are purchased (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof) (such percentage, the “Purchasing Borrower Party Cap”); provided that (x) to the extent any assignment to a Purchasing Borrower Party would result in the aggregate principal amount of all such Term Loans held by Purchasing Borrower Parties exceeding the Purchasing Borrower Party Cap (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof), the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio and (y) any Term Loans purchased by Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be immediately cancelled in accordance with clause (v) above.
Each Purchasing Borrower Party by its acquisition of any Loans outstanding hereunder will be deemed to have waived any right it may otherwise have had to bring any action in connection with such Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, and will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from a Purchasing Borrower Party.

195

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to any Affiliated Debt Fund, and any Affiliated Debt Fund may, from time to time, purchase Term Loans (x) on a pro rata basis through Dutch auctions open to all applicable Lenders or (y) on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases, in each case, notwithstanding the requirements set forth in this clause (e) (for the avoidance of doubt, without requiring any representation or warranty as to the possession of material non-public information by such Affiliate); provided that the Term Loans held by all Affiliated Debt Funds shall not account for more than 49.99% of the amounts included in determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that the portion of the Term Loans that accounts for more than 49.99% of the relevant Required Lender action shall be deemed to be voted pro rata along with other Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds.  Any Loans acquired by any Affiliated Debt Fund may (but shall not be required to) be contributed to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries for purposes of cancelling such Indebtedness (it being understood that any Loans so contributed shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon thereof).  The restrictions set forth in this paragraph being the “Affiliated Debt Fund Restrictions”.
(f)    Disqualified Institutions.  
(i)    The Administrative Agent (i) shall have no obligation with respect to, and shall bear no responsibility or liability for, the ascertaining, monitoring, inquiring or enforcing compliance with the provisions relating to Disqualified Institutions (or any provisions relating thereto) at any time, including whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or prospective Participant is a Disqualified Institution or an Affiliate of a Disqualified Institution, and shall have, and shall have no liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of any Loans to any Disqualified Institution or the disclosure of confidential information to any Disqualified Institution and (ii) may share a list of Persons who are Disqualified Institutions on a confidential basis with any Lender, Participant, or any prospective assignee or Participant, in each case, who specifically requests a copy thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if the applicable Borrower consents in writing to an Assignment and Assumption to any Person or to otherwise permit any Person to become a Lender or Participant hereunder, such Person shall not be considered a Disqualified Institution, whether or not they would otherwise be considered a Disqualified Institution pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii)    In the event of any assignment or participation by a Lender without the applicable Borrower’s consent or deemed consent (if applicable) (A) to any Disqualified Institution or (B) to the extent the Swiss Borrower’s consent is required under this Section 9.04, to any other Person, the Borrowers shall be entitled at their sole expense and effort to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation in addition to injunctive relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedies available to the Borrowers at law or in equity in respect of such assignor or assignee; it being understood and agreed that Holdings, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if any Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 9.04 as it relates to any assignment, participation or pledge of any Loan or Commitment to any Disqualified Institution or any other Person to whom the Swiss Borrower’s consent is required but not obtained (or has not been deemed consented to).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for monitoring the list or identities of Disqualified Institutions.

196

(iii)    If any assignment or participation under this Section 9.04 is made to any Affiliate of any Disqualified Institution (other than any Competitor Debt Fund Affiliate) without the Borrower’s prior written consent or deemed consent (any such person, a “Disqualified Person”), then such assignment shall not be null and void, but the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Term Loans, held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Term Loans by paying the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Term Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require that such Disqualified Person assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (I) in the case of clause (B) above, the applicable Disqualified Person has received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) par and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid for the applicable Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Borrowers, (II) in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, the Borrowers shall be liable to the relevant Disqualified Person under Section 2.16 if any Eurocurrency Loan, Term Benchmark Loan or EURIBOR Loan owing to such Disqualified Person is repaid or purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto and (III) in the case of clause (C) above, the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 9.04 (except that no registration and processing fee required under this Section 9.04 shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph).  Nothing in this Section 9.04(f) shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Borrowers may otherwise have at law or equity.  
SECTION 9.05.    Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time this Agreement or any other Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any LC Exposure is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the applicable Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.05(d) or 2.05(e). The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.18(e) and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment or prepayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

197

SECTION 9.06.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  
(a)    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower or any other Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including, without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waives any claim 

198

against any Lender-Related Person for any losses, claims, damages, penalties and liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any losses, claims, damages, penalties and liabilities arising as a result of the failure of a Borrower and/or any other Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
SECTION 9.07.    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08.    Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the applicable Borrower against any of and all the obligations then due of Holdings or the applicable Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations of Holdings or the applicable Borrower are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section.  The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have.
SECTION 9.09.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(b)    Each of Holdings and each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not, and will not permit any controlled Subsidiary to, commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than any Security Document that purports to be governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York) or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any action, litigation or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court.  Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action, litigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

199

(c)    Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, litigation or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. WITHOUT LIMITING THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.09 AND IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, THE LUX BORROWER, THE SWISS BORROWER AND EACH LOAN PARTY THAT IS A PARTY HERETO THAT IS NOT A UNITED STATES PERSON HEREBY IRREVOCABLY DESIGNATE, APPOINT AND EMPOWER HOLDINGS AS ITS AUTHORIZED DESIGNEE, APPOINTEE AND AGENT TO RECEIVE, ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE FOR AND ON THEIR BEHALF, AND IN RESPECT OF THEIR PROPERTY, SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES AND DOCUMENTS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
SECTION 9.10.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS  BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

To the extent permitted by section 275 of the Australian PPSA, the parties agree to keep all information of the kind mentioned in section 275(1) and 275(4) of the Australian PPSA confidential and not to disclose that information to any other person, other than to the extent permitted hereunder. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdings, a Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to Holdings, such Borrower or any Subsidiary or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or the Borrowers.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.  Each Loan Party that is a party hereto acknowledges receipt of the relevant TTS EEA Privacy Statement accessible at https://www.citibank.com/tts/sa/tts-privacy-statements/index.html (or such other URL or statement as a Lender may notify to such Loan Party from time to time).
SECTION 9.13.    Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any LC Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan or LC Disbursement or participation therein under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender or Issuing Bank holding such Loan or LC Disbursement or participation therein in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or LC Disbursement or participation therein but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect of other Loans or LC Disbursements or participation therein or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the applicable Overnight Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender or Issuing Bank.
SECTION 9.14.    Release of Liens and Guarantees.  Subject to the reinstatement provisions set forth in any applicable Security Document, a Loan Party (other than Holdings, an 

201

Intermediate Holdco or a Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Loan Party shall be automatically released, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Loan Party ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that (a) if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders (or if applicable, the Lenders) shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise and (b) no Loan Party shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents as a result of becoming a non-wholly-owned Subsidiary unless the transaction resulting in such Loan Party becoming a non-wholly-owned subsidiary was an arm’s-length transaction with a bona fide unaffiliated third party undertaken for legitimate business purposes.  Upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party (other than to Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released.  Upon the release of any Loan Party from its Guarantee (other than Holdings, an Intermediate Holdco or a Borrower) in compliance with this Agreement, the security interest in any Collateral owned by such Loan Party created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released.  Upon the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with this Agreement, the security interest created by the Security Documents in the Equity Interests of such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be automatically released.  On the date on which all (1) Commitments have terminated and all Obligations have been paid in full in cash (other than (x) Secured Hedging Obligations not yet due and payable, (y) Secured Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and (2) all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated (other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized or backstopped in an amount, by an institution and otherwise pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank), all security interests under the Security Documents shall be automatically released.  In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 9.14, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to file or register in any office, or to evidence, such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.  Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to effect the releases set forth in this Section.
SECTION 9.15.    USA PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, and each Loan Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to such Lender, such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, as applicable.
SECTION 9.16.    No Fiduciary Relationship.  Each of Holdings and each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, Holdings, the Borrowers, the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.  The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of 

202

customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Holdings, the Borrowers, the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their respective Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Holdings, the Borrowers, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Holdings and each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 
SECTION 9.17.    Non-Public Information.  
(a)    Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by Holdings, the Swiss Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI.  Each Lender represents to Holdings, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws.
(b)    Holdings, each Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that, if information furnished by Holdings or a Borrower pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through the Platform, (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that Holdings or a Borrower has indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for Lenders’ employees and representatives willing to receive such MNPI (such employees and representatives, “Private-Siders”); and (ii) if Holdings or a Borrower has not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for Private-Siders.  Each of Holdings and each Borrower agrees to clearly designate all information provided to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of Holdings or the Borrowers that is suitable to be made available to Lenders’ public-side employees and representatives who do not wish to receive MNPI (such employees and representatives, “Public-Siders”), and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such designation by Holdings and the Borrowers without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof.
SECTION 9.18.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a 

203

bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any applicable Resolution Authority.
SECTION 9.19.    Joint and Several Liability.  Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for the obligations of the other Borrowers hereunder, including with respect to the payment of principal of and interest on all Loans and the payment of LC Disbursements, fees and indemnities and reimbursement of costs and expenses and all other Obligations.
SECTION 9.20.    Swiss Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the obligations of any Swiss Loan Party and the rights of the Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document are subject to the following limitations:
(a)    If and to the extent a guarantee or security granted, indemnity or other obligation assumed by a Swiss Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document guarantees or secures obligations of any of its (direct or indirect) parent companies (upstream security) or sister companies (cross-stream security) (the “Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations”) and if and to the extent using the proceeds from the enforcement of such guarantee, security, indemnity or other obligation to discharge the Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations would be unlawful under Swiss corporate law (inter alia, prohibiting capital repayments or violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) at such time, the proceeds from the enforcement of such guarantee, security, indemnity or other obligation to be used to discharge the Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations shall be limited to the maximum amount of such Swiss Loan Party’s freely disposable shareholder equity at the time of enforcement (the “Maximum Amount”); provided that such limitation is required under the applicable Swiss corporate law at that time; provided further that such limitation shall not free that Swiss Loan Party from its obligations in excess of the Maximum Amount, but merely postpone the performance date of those obligations until such time or times as performance is again permitted under then applicable Swiss corporate law.  This Maximum Amount of freely disposable shareholder equity shall be determined in accordance with Swiss law and applicable Swiss accounting principles.
(b)    In respect of Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations, each Swiss Loan Party shall, as concerns the proceeds resulting from the enforcement of any guarantee or security granted or indemnity or other obligation assumed by such Swiss Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if and to the extent required by applicable law in force at the relevant time:
(i)    procure that such enforcement proceeds can be used to discharge Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations without deduction of Swiss Anticipatory Tax by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including double tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;
(ii)    if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above does not apply and subject to paragraph (c) below, deduct the Swiss Anticipatory Tax at such rate (currently 35% at the date of this Agreement) as is in force from time to time from any such enforcement proceeds used to discharge Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations, and pay, without delay, any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;
(iii)    notify the Administrative Agent that such notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made, and provide the Administrative Agent with evidence that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case 

204

may be, such taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
(iv)    in the case of a deduction of Swiss Anticipatory Tax,
(A)    use its best efforts to ensure that any person, that is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Anticipatory Tax deducted from such enforcement proceeds, will, as soon as possible after such deduction request a refund of the Swiss Anticipatory Tax under applicable law (including tax treaties), and pay to the Administrative Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded; and
(B)  if the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Anticipatory Tax deducted from such payment, and if requested by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, shall provide that Administrative Agent or the respective Secured Party those documents that are required by law and applicable tax treaties to be provided by the payer of such tax to prepare a claim for refund of Swiss Anticipatory Tax.
(c)    If a Swiss Loan Party is required to deduct Swiss Anticipatory Tax pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii) above at the time the Administrative Agent is enforcing security interests granted by the Swiss Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall, upon request of such Swiss Loan Party, deduct from the proceeds received from the enforcement of such security interests the Swiss Anticipatory Tax at such rate (35% at the date of this Agreement) as is in force from time to time and shall pay without delay, any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;
(d)    If a Swiss Loan Party is obliged to withhold Swiss Anticipatory Tax in accordance with paragraph (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to further enforce the guarantee or security granted or indemnity or other obligation assumed by such Swiss Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and/or further apply proceeds therefrom against Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations up to an amount which is equal to that amount which would have been obtained if no withholding of Swiss Anticipatory Tax were required, whereby such further enforcements/applications of proceeds shall always be limited to the maximum amount of the freely distributable capital of such Swiss Loan Party as set out in paragraph (a) above.
(e)    If and to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent or if and to the extent required under Swiss mandatory law applicable at the relevant time, in order to allow the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to obtain a maximum benefit under the guarantee or security granted or indemnity or other obligation assumed by such Swiss Loan Party, such Swiss Loan Party shall, and any parent company of such Swiss Loan Party incorporated in Switzerland being a party to this Agreement shall procure that such Swiss Loan Party will, promptly take and promptly cause to be taken any action, including the following:
(i)    the passing of any shareholders’ resolutions or quotaholders’ resolutions, as the case may be, to approve the use of the enforcement proceeds, which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time of the enforcement of the Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations in order to allow a prompt use of the enforcement proceeds;
(ii)    preparation of up-to-date audited balance sheet of that Swiss Loan Party;
(iii)    statement of the auditors of that Swiss Loan Party confirming the Maximum Amount;

205

(iv)    conversion of restricted reserves into profits and reserves freely available for the distribution as dividends (to the extent permitted by mandatory Swiss law);
(v)    revaluation of hidden reserves (to the extent permitted by mandatory Swiss law);
(vi)    to the extent permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards, write-up or realize any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of realization, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the that respective Swiss Loan Party’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig); and
(vii)    all such other measures necessary or useful to allow such Swiss Loan Party to use enforcement proceeds as agreed hereunder with a minimum of limitations.
SECTION 9.21.    Exclusion of the Australian PPSA Provisions.  
(a)      For the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the Australian PPSA:
(i)    each Secured Party with the benefit of the security interest need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4) of the Australian PPSA; and
(ii)    sections 142 and 143 of the Australian PPSA are excluded;
(b)    For the purposes of section 115(7) of the Australian PPSA, each Secured Party with the benefit of the security interest need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3);
(c)    Each Party waives its right to receive from any Secured Party any notice required under the Australian PPSA (including a notice of a verification statement); and
(d)    If a Secured Party with the benefit of a security interest exercises a right, power or remedy  in connection with it, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the Australian PPSA unless the Secured Party states otherwise at the time of exercise.  However, this Section does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be exercised under the Australian PPSA.
SECTION 9.22.    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 the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of 

206

any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).
SECTION 9.23.    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
SECTION 9.24.    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 Swiss Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.
SECTION 9.25.    Loan Parallel Debt. 
(a)      Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by that Loan Party to any Secured Party under any of the Loan Documents, including any Guarantee, and all other Obligations as and when those amounts are due (the “Loan Parallel Debt”).
(b)        Each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each Loan Party under clause (a) above are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of that Loan Party to any Secured Party under any of the Loan Documents, including any Guarantee or otherwise in respect of the Obligations (its “Loan Corresponding Debt”), nor shall the amounts for which each Loan Party is liable under clause (a) above (its “Loan Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Loan Corresponding Debt provided that: (i) the Loan Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall be decreased to the extent that its Loan Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and (ii) the Loan Corresponding Debt of each Loan Party shall be decreased to the extent that its Loan Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and (iii) the amount of the Loan Parallel Debt of a Loan Party shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Loan Corresponding Debt.

207

(c)     For the purpose of this Section 9.25, the Administrative Agent acts in its own name and not as a trustee, and its claims in respect of the Loan Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust. The Liens granted under the Loan Documents, including any Guarantee, to the Administrative Agent to secure the Loan Parallel Debt are granted to the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as creditor of the Loan Parallel Debt and shall not be held on trust.
(d)        All moneys received or recovered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.25, and all amounts received or recovered by the Administrative Agent, from or by the enforcement of any Liens granted to secure the Loan Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with Section 7.04.
SECTION 9.26.    Ipso Facto.  The following apply in relation to any Guarantee granted by an Australian Entity:  If an Ipso Facto Event has occurred, then immediately on demand by the Administrative Agent, each such Australian Entity shall pay all Loans, accrued interest and other amounts as if it was the principal obligor.  In this Section 9.26, “Ipso Facto Event” means a Borrower is the subject of an announcement, application, compromise, arrangement, managing controller, or administration as described in section 415D(1), 434J(1) or 451E(1) of the Australian Corporations Act.
