 Exhibit 10.1 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 
 TO THE 

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST 

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2018 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

WHEREAS, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“PREIT”) established the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust Amended and
Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to award certain equity-based benefits to certain of the non-employee trustees and officers and other key employees of the Trust and certain of its
affiliates; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, the Board of Trustees of PREIT may amend the Plan, subject to certain
inapplicable limitations, at any time; and 
 WHEREAS, the Board, in action taken on March 31, 2021, authorized the amendment of the
Plan as set forth below to allow for the granting of restricted stock units subject to restrictions other than performance goals (such as continued employment); 

NOW THEREFORE, effective as of January 1, 2021, the Plan is hereby amended as follows: 

1.     Section 7.4 of the Plan is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: 

7.4    Performance Shares, RSUs, and PSUs. 

(a)    Grant. The Committee may grant Performance Shares to any Key Employee or Non-Employee Trustee, conditioned upon the meeting of designated Performance Goals. The Committee may grant RSUs to any Key Employee or Non-Employee Trustee, subject to any
vesting requirements as the Committee shall determine such as continued employment or the meeting of designated Performance Goals. For purposes of this Section 7.4, RSUs that are subject to the meeting of designated Performance Goals shall be
referred to as “PSUs.” The Committee shall determine the number of Performance Shares or RSUs (including PSUs) to be granted. 

(b)    Nature of RSUs. An RSU entitles the grantee to receive, with respect to each RSU that vests
in accordance with subsection (c) or Section 8.4, one Share, cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of vesting, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. Any
fractional RSU shall be payable in cash. 
 (c)    Vesting. 

(i)    Performance Period and Performance Goals. When Performance Shares or PSUs are granted, the
Committee shall establish the performance period during which performance shall be measured, the Performance Goals, and such other conditions of the Award as the 

 
Committee deems appropriate. At the end of each performance period, the Committee shall determine to what extent the Performance Goals and other conditions of the Award have been met. 

(ii)    RSUs Other Than PSUs. With respect to RSUs that are not PSUs, the Committee shall determine
when such RSUs shall vest and any conditions (such as continued employment) that must be met in order for such RSUs to vest at the end of the applicable restriction period. The Committee may at any time accelerate the time at which the restrictions
on all or part of the RSUs (other than PSUs) shall lapse. 
 (d)    Delivery of Performance
Shares. To the extent the Performance Shares are earned as determined under subsection (c), the Shares will cease to be restricted Shares for purposes of the Plan and shall be delivered. 

(e)    Settlement of RSUs. To the extent the RSUs (including PSUs) are earned as determined under
subsection (c), such RSUs may be settled in cash or Shares, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement and shall be made no later than the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period, except to the extent such delivery of Shares
or cash (as applicable) is deferred pursuant to a deferral arrangement that complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the final regulations issued thereunder or any amendment thereof or successor thereto. 

(f)    Dividend Equivalents. Any grant of Performance Shares or RSUs (including PSUs) may provide
for the payment to the Participant of dividends and DERs thereon in cash or additional Shares, provided, however, that the Award Agreement shall provide that the Participant shall not receive any dividends or DERs unless and until such time as the
Performance Shares or RSUs are earned and paid, and provided further that if the payment or crediting of dividends and DERs is in respect of an Award that is subject to Code Section 409A, then the payment or crediting of such dividends and DERs
shall conform to the requirement of Code Section 409A and such requirements shall be specified in writing. 
 2.
    Section 8.4(i) of the Plan is hereby amended to read as follows: 
 “(i) accelerate, in whole or in part,
the date on which any or all Options and SARs become exercisable and/or the date on which any or all and Restricted Shares and RSUs with time-based vesting become vested, but only if the Option, SAR, Restricted Share or RSU is not assumed by the
surviving or successor entity;” 
 *    *    *    *    *

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust has caused these presents to be duly executed this 31st
day of March, 2021.

	$50,000

			
	•	Additional Annual Non-Executive Chairman Retainer (cash):
	$75,000

			
	•	Committee fees (cash):
	
			
		Audit Committee:
	$25,000 for Chair 

			$20,000 for Members

			$15,000 for Members

Equity Component:
•$225,000 to be delivered in one installment (as set forth below under “Timing”), consisting of Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”).  

•The number of DSUs to be issued will be determined by dividing $225,000 by the fair market value of Company common stock on the date of issuance.  The DSUs will vest in a single installment on the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting, subject to continued service on the Board thru such date, with full acceleration upon a change in control. 

•DSUs will accrue dividends on the same basis as Company common stock and will be reinvested in additional DSUs.

•DSUs, together with dividends credited on those DSUs, will be settled upon a Director’s separation from service from the Board of Directors or change in control, if earlier, and not upon vesting.  At such time, DSUs will be paid out in the form of Company common stock.  

Timing
•Annual fiscal year cash compensation will be paid in one installment at the Compensation Committee meeting in June or, promptly following the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting, whichever is earlier, or such other date as determined by the Compensation Committee.  

•Amounts paid will be pro-rated for partial year service, with a fractional month of service rounded to a whole month.  A Director who joins the Board other than on the first day of the fiscal year will be paid a pro-rated amount of the annual fiscal year compensation.  The same proration rule will also apply to any partial year service on any committee.

B.    Stock Retention Guidelines
All non-employee Directors must hold a number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock having a fair market value equal to at least five times the Annual Cash Retainer, which for purposes of this requirement shall include vested DSUs.  Directors have five years to attain this guideline from the date of election to the Board.

C.    Miscellaneous

SECTION 1.10 Covenant Compliance Generally.  For purposes of determining compliance  under Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.5, and 8.6, any amount in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to  Dollars in a manner consistent with that used in calculating Consolidated Net Income in the most recent  annual financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a).

SECTION 1.11 Rates; LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans and Base  Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate) is determined by  reference to LIBOR, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.  The London interbank  offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings  from each other in the London interbank market.  In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority  announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make  rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark  Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it  is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may  no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR  Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate).  In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives have been and continue, as of the  date hereof, to be underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London  interbank offered rate.  In the event that the London interbank offered rate or any other then-current  Benchmark is no longer available or in certain other circumstances set forth in Section 4.8(c), such Section  4.8(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will  notify the Borrower in advance, pursuant to Section 4.8(c), of any change to the reference rate upon which  the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (c)  of the definition of Base Rate) is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept  any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (i) the administration of, submission  

 

    37    of, calculation of or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the  definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto, or  replacement rate thereof (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement),  including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement  reference rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to  Section 4.8(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, LIBOR or any  other Benchmark, or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate or any  other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or  composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  SECTION 1.12 Limited Condition Acquisitions.  In the event that the Borrower notifies the  Administrative Agent in writing that any proposed Acquisition is a Limited Condition Acquisition and that  the Borrower wishes to test the conditions to such Limited Condition Acquisition and any Indebtedness  (other than Revolving Credit Loans) that is to be used to finance such Limited Condition Acquisition and  the related transaction costs and expenses associated with such Limited Condition Acquisition in  accordance with this Section 1.12, then, so long as agreed to by the lenders providing such Indebtedness,  the following provisions shall apply:  (a) any condition to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or the  incurrence of such Indebtedness that requires that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and  be continuing at the time of such Limited Condition Acquisition or the incurrence of such Indebtedness,  shall be satisfied if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of  the execution of the definitive purchase agreement, merger agreement or other acquisition agreement  governing such Limited Condition Acquisition (the “LCA Test Date”) and (ii) no Event of Default under  any of Section 9.1(a), 9.1(b), 9.1(i) or 9.1(j) shall have occurred and be continuing both immediately before  and immediately after the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition and the incurrence of  such Indebtedness;  (b) any condition to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or the  incurrence of such Indebtedness that the representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other  Loan Documents shall be true and correct at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition  Acquisition or the incurrence of such Indebtedness shall be deemed satisfied if (i) all representations and  warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects  (except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse  Effect, which such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the LCA Test  Date, or if such representation speaks as of an earlier date, as of such earlier date and (ii) as of the date of  consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, (A) the representations and warranties under the  relevant definitive agreement governing such Limited Condition Acquisition as are material to the lenders  providing such Indebtedness shall be true and correct, but only to the extent that the Borrower or its  applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such agreement or otherwise decline  to close such Limited Condition Acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties  or the failure of those representations and warranties to be true and correct and (B) certain of the  representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which are customary for  similar “funds certain” financings and required by the lenders providing such Indebtedness shall be true  and correct in all material respects (except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by  materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, which such representation and warranty shall be true  and correct in all respects);  (c) any financial ratio test or condition to be tested in connection with such Limited Condition  Acquisition and the availability of such Indebtedness will be tested as of the LCA Test Date, in each case,  after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition and related incurrence of Indebtedness,  

 

    38    on a pro forma basis where applicable, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) such ratios and baskets shall  not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition and (ii) if any of such  ratios are exceeded or conditions are not met following the LCA Test Date, but prior to the closing of such  Limited Condition Acquisition, as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or amount (including due to  fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition  Acquisition), at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios will not be  deemed to have been exceeded and such conditions will not be deemed unmet as a result of such  fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to  be consummated or taken;  (d) except as provided in the next sentence, in connection with any subsequent calculation of  any ratio or basket on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which  such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated and the date that the definitive agreement for such  Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition  Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated (i) on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited  Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or  assumption of Indebtedness) have been consummated and (ii) assuming such Limited Condition  Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of  Indebtedness) have not been consummated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any calculation of a ratio in  connection with determining the Applicable Margin and determining whether or not the Borrower is in  compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.13 shall, in each case be calculated assuming  such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the  incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have not been consummated.

ARTICLE II  CREDIT FACILITIES  SECTION 2.1 Revolving Credit Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this  Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth  in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make  Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time from the Closing Date to, but not  including, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as requested by the Borrower in accordance with the terms  of Section 2.3; provided, that (a) the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit  Commitment of all the Revolving Credit Lenders and (b) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving  Credit Lender shall not at any time exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.   Each Revolving Credit Loan by a Revolving Credit Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to such  Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of  Revolving Credit Loans requested on such occasion.

    39    SECTION 2.2 Swingline Loans.  (a) Availability.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan  Documents, including, without limitation, Section 5.2(d) of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the  representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Swingline  Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time  from the Closing Date to, but not including, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided, that (a) after  giving effect to any amount requested, the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving  Credit Commitment and (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (after  giving effect to any amount requested) shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment.  (b) Refunding.  (i) Swingline Loans shall be refunded by the Revolving Credit Lenders on demand by  the Swingline Lender.  Such refundings shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders in  accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter  be reflected as Revolving Credit Loans of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the books and records  of the Administrative Agent.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall fund its respective Revolving  Credit Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as required to repay Swingline Loans  outstanding to the Swingline Lender upon demand by the Swingline Lender but in no event later  than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is made.  No Revolving  Credit Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a  Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to fund its  Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Revolving Credit  Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of  any other Revolving Credit Lender to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a  Swingline Loan.  (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the amount of such  Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not  sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded.  In  addition, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account  maintained by the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order  to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent  amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the  outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded.  If any portion of any such  amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the  Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably  shared among all the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving  Credit Commitment Percentages (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower  pertain to a Swingline Loan extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event  of Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner required pursuant  to Section 10.3 and which such Event of Default has not been waived by the Required Lenders or  the Lenders, as applicable).  (iii) Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to  refund Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section is absolute and unconditional  and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non- satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article V.  Further, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees  and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to  this Section, one of the events described in Section 9.1(i) or (j) shall have occurred, each Revolving  

 

    40    Credit Lender will, on the date the applicable Revolving Credit Loan would have been made,  purchase an undivided participating interest in the Swingline Loan to be refunded in an amount  equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Swingline  Loan.  Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in  immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline  Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of  receipt of such funds and for such amount.  Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has  received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest  in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline  Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participating interest in such amount  (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which  such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).  (c) Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this  Agreement, this Section 2.2 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4.13 and Section 4.14.  SECTION 2.3 Procedure for Advances of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans.  (a) Requests for Borrowing.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable  prior written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”) not later than 11:00  a.m. (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan and (ii) at least three  (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan, of its intention to borrow, specifying (A) the date of  such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the amount of such borrowing, which shall be, (x) with  respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000  or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans in an aggregate  principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (z) with respect  to Swingline Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in  excess thereof, (C) whether such Loan is to be a Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan, (D) in the case  of a Revolving Credit Loan whether the Loans are to be LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans and (E) in  the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.  If the Borrower  fails to specify a type of Loan in a Notice of Borrowing, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Base  Rate Loans.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans in any such Notice of Borrowing,  but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.   A Notice of Borrowing received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.  The  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing.  (b) Disbursement of Revolving Credit and Swingline Loans.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the  proposed borrowing date, (i) each Revolving Credit Lender will make available to the Administrative  Agent, for the account of the Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately  available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment  Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made on such borrowing date and (ii) the Swingline Lender  will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower, at the office of the  Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Loans to  be made on such borrowing date.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent  to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section in immediately available  funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the Borrower identified in the most  recent notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C (a “Notice of Account Designation”) delivered  by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower and the  Administrative Agent from time to time.  Subject to Section 4.7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall not  be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to  this Section to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender has not made available to the Administrative  

 

    41    Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan.  Revolving Credit Loans to be made  for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided  in Section 2.2(b).  SECTION 2.4 Repayment and Prepayment of Revolving Credit and Swingline Loans.  (a) Repayment on Termination Date.  (i) The Borrower hereby agrees to repay the outstanding  principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made to the Borrower in full on the Revolving Credit  Maturity Date, and (ii) the Borrower agrees to repay the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline  Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(b) (but, in any event, no later than the Revolving Credit Maturity  Date), together, in each case, with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.  (b) Mandatory Prepayments.  If at any time the Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the  Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower agrees to repay promptly upon notice from the  Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit  Lenders, Revolving Credit Outstandings in an amount equal to such excess with each such repayment  applied first, if such repayment is made by the Borrower, to the principal amount of outstanding Swingline  Loans, second to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and third, with respect to  any Letters of Credit then outstanding, if such repayment is made by the Borrower, a payment of Cash  Collateral into a Cash Collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the  Revolving Credit Lenders, in an amount equal to such excess (such Cash Collateral to be applied in  accordance with Section 9.2(b)).  (c) Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay  Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than  pursuant to Section 4.9), with irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in  the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Notice of Prepayment”) given not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the same  Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days  before each LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment  is of LIBOR Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a  combination thereof, the amount allocable to each.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent  shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in  such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice.  Partial prepayments shall be in  an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof with respect to  Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess  thereof with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans and $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof  with respect to Swingline Loans.  A Notice of Prepayment received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed  received on the next Business Day.  Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required  to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Notice of Prepayment  delivered in connection with any refinancing of all of the Credit Facility or other transaction, may be, if  expressly so stated to be, contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing or other transaction and  may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such refinancing is not consummated (provided that the  failure of such contingency shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations in respect thereof under  Section 4.9).  (d) Limitation on Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans.  The Borrower may not prepay any  LIBOR Rate Loan on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless  such prepayment is accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof.  

 

    42    SECTION 2.5 Permanent Reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment.  (a) Voluntary Reduction.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time,  upon at least five (5) Business Days prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, to  permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the entire Revolving Credit Commitment at any time  or (ii) portions of the Revolving Credit Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount  not less than $3,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Any reduction of the  Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving  Credit Lender according to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.  All Commitment Fees accrued  until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be paid on the  effective date of such termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice to reduce the Revolving  Credit Commitment delivered in connection with any refinancing of all of the Revolving Credit Facility  or other transaction, may be, if expressly so stated to be, contingent upon the consummation of such  refinancing or other transaction and may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such refinancing is not  consummated (provided that the failure of such contingency shall not relieve the Borrower from its  obligations in respect thereof under Section 4.9).  (b) Corresponding Payment.  Each permanent reduction permitted pursuant to this Section  shall be accompanied by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding Revolving  Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations, as applicable, after such reduction to the Revolving  Credit Commitment as so reduced, and if the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds  the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced, the Borrower shall be required to deposit Cash Collateral  in a Cash Collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to such excess.  Such  Cash Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 9.2(b).  Any reduction of the Revolving Credit  Commitment to zero shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and  Swingline Loans (and furnishing of Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all L/C  Obligations) and shall result in the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Swingline  Commitment and the Revolving Credit Facility.  If the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment  requires the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount  required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof.  SECTION 2.6 Termination of Revolving Credit Facility.  The Revolving Credit Facility and  the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  SECTION 2.7 Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments; Incremental Loans.  (a) Request for Increase.

(b) Incremental Lenders.  Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set  forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Increase.  Incremental Increases  may be provided by any existing Lender or by any other Persons (each, an “Incremental Lender”); provided  that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall have  consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such Incremental  

 

    43    Lender’s providing such Incremental Increase to the extent any such consent would be required under  Section 11.9(b) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such  Incremental Lender.  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the  Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Incremental Lender is requested to  respond, which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such  notice to the proposed Incremental Lenders.  Each proposed Incremental Lender may elect or decline, in  its sole discretion, and shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether it agrees, to  provide an Incremental Increase and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than or less than  requested.  Any Person not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide  an Incremental Increase.  (c) Increase Effective Date and Allocations.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall  determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Incremental  Increase (limited in the case of the Incremental Lenders to their own respective allocations thereof).

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on  the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby  Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed its L/C Commitment for the account of the Borrower  (which may support the obligations of any Subsidiary of the Borrower) on any Business Day from the  Closing Date to, but not including, the thirtieth (30th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity  Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided, that the Issuing  Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (a) the  L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (b) the Revolving Credit Outstandings would  exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment.  Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars in a  minimum amount of $100,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Issuing Lender), (ii) be a standby  letter of credit issued to support the obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or  otherwise, incurred in the ordinary course of business and (iii) expire on a date no more than twelve (12)  months after the date of issuance or last renewal of such Letter of Credit subject to automatic renewal for  additional one (1) year periods pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Application or other  documentation acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender), which date shall be no later than the fifth  (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (iv) be subject to the ISP, as set forth  in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by the Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent  therewith, the laws of the State of New York.  The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to  issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority  or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of  Credit, or any Applicable Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not  having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall  prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such  Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to letters of credit  generally or such Letter of Credit in particular any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which  the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date, or any unreimbursed  loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect as of the Closing Date and that the Issuing Lender  in good faith deems material to it, (B) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are not satisfied, or (C) the  beneficiary of such Letter of Credit is a Sanctioned Person.  References herein to “issue” and derivations  

 

    48    thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding  Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.  As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing  Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a  Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder.  (b) Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this  Agreement, Article III shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4.13 and Section 4.14.  SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.  The Borrower may from time to  time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at the  Administrative Agent’s Office a Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the  Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing  Lender may request.  Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Lender shall process  such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered  to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1  and Article V, promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender  be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Letter  of Credit Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information  relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise  may be agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower.  The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the  Borrower a copy of such Letter of Credit and shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the  issuance and upon request by any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter  of Credit and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation therein.  SECTION 3.3 Commissions and Other Charges.  (a) Letter of Credit Commissions.  Subject to Section 4.14(a)(iii)(B), the Borrower shall pay  to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a  letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amount equal to the daily amount  available to be drawn under such standby Letters of Credit times the Applicable Margin with respect to  Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans (determined on a per annum basis).  Such commission  shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the Revolving  Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent  shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all  commissions received pursuant to this Section 3.3 in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit  Commitment Percentages.  (b) Issuance Fee.  In addition to the foregoing commission, the Borrower shall pay directly to  the Issuing Lender, for its own account, an issuance fee with respect to each Letter of Credit at a rate equal  to 0.125% per annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.   Such issuance fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter  commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of a Letter of Credit, on the Revolving  Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Issuing Lender.  For the avoidance of doubt, such  issuance fee shall be applicable to and paid upon each of the Existing Letters of Credit.  (c) Other Costs.  In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Borrower shall pay or  reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary fees, costs, charges and expenses as are  incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise  administering any Letter of Credit.  SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations.  

 

    49    (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant,  and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably  agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and  conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal  to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations  and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid  by the Issuing Lender thereunder.  Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the  Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not  reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise in accordance with the  terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing  Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit  Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.  (b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the  Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by  the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify each L/C Participant of the  amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender  the amount specified on the applicable due date.  If any such amount is paid to the Issuing Lender after the  date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to  such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined  by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date  on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator  of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  A  certificate of the Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive  in the absence of manifest error.  With respect to payment to the Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed  amounts described in this Section, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A)  prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00  p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.  (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of  Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such  payment in accordance with this Section, the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter  of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof,  the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the  event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing  Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed  by the Issuing Lender to it.  SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower.  In the event of any drawing under  any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan  as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the Issuing Lender on  each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft paid under  any Letter of Credit for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c)  incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment.  Unless the Borrower shall immediately  notify the Issuing Lender that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Lender for such drawing from  other sources or funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the  Administrative Agent requesting that the Revolving Credit Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan as a  Base Rate Loan on such date in the amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any amounts referred to in  Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, and the Revolving Credit  Lenders shall make a Revolving Credit Loan as a Base Rate Loan in such amount, the proceeds of which  shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and such fees and  

 

    50    expenses.  Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving  Credit Loan in accordance with this Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a  Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,  including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article V.  If  the Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to  reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear  interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue  from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until  payment in full.  SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligations under this Article III  (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and unconditional under  any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the  Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any  other Person.  The Borrower also agrees that the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants shall not be  responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by,  among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though  such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the  Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may  be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or  any such transferee.  The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in  transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any  Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful  misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment.  The  Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any  Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful  misconduct or a breach in bad faith of its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case as determined  by a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment, shall be binding on the Borrower  and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the Borrower.  The  responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment  under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter  of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter  of Credit in connection with such presentment substantially conforms to the requirements under such Letter  of Credit.  SECTION 3.7 Effect of Letter of Credit Application.  To the extent that any provision of any  Letter of Credit Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article  III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.    ARTICLE IV  GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS  SECTION 4.1 Interest.  (a) Interest Rate Options.  Subject to the provisions of this Section, at the election of the  Borrower, (i) Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the  Applicable Margin or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (provided that the LIBOR Rate  shall not be available until three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date unless the Borrower has  delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the  Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 4.9 of this Agreement)  

 

    51    and (ii) any Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  The Borrower  shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of  Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 4.2.  (b) Default Rate.  Subject to Section 9.3, (i) immediately upon the occurrence and during the  continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (b), (i) or (j), or (ii) at the election of the Required  Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders), upon the occurrence and  during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to  request LIBOR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit, (B) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans  shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable  Margin) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter  at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable  to Base Rate Loans, (C) all outstanding Base Rate Loans, Swingline Loans and other Obligations arising  hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent  (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such  other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (D) all accrued and unpaid  interest shall be due and payable on demand of the Administrative Agent.  Interest shall continue to accrue  on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in  bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law.  (c) Interest Payment and Computation.  Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and  payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing June 30, 2021; and  interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period  applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3)  month interval during such Interest Period.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the  Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the  case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall  be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as  applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year).  (d) Maximum Rate.  In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts  deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed  the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a  final determination, deem applicable hereto.  In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders  have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect  hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the  Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Borrower any interest  received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal  balance of the Obligations.  It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that  neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in  any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable  Law.  SECTION 4.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans.  Provided that no  Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall have the option to  (a) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any  outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000 or  any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans and (b) upon the  expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a  principal amount equal to $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate  Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or (ii) continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans.   

 

    52    Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give  the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of  Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a  proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be  converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day  of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a  Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest  Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan.  If the Borrower fails to give a  timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation prior to the end of the Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan,  then the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan.  Any such automatic  conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with  respect to the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan.  If the Borrower requests a conversion to, or continuation of,  LIBOR Rate Loans, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest  Period of one month.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swingline Loan may not be  converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of  such Notice of Conversion/Continuation.  SECTION 4.3 Fees.  (a) Commitment Fee.  Commencing on the Closing Date, subject to Section 4.14(a)(iii)(A),  the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, a  non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable  Margin on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Revolving Credit  Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any); provided, that the amount of outstanding Swingline  Loans shall not be considered usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment, and outstanding L/C  Obligations shall be considered usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment, for the purpose of calculating  the Commitment Fee.  The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each  calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing June 30, 2021 and ending on the date  upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising under  the Revolving Credit Facility shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full, all  Letters of Credit have been terminated or expired (or been Cash Collateralized or other arrangements with  respect thereto have been made that are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender) and the Revolving Credit  Commitment has been terminated.  The Commitment Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent  to the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) pro rata in accordance with such  Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.  (b) Other Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, the Administrative  Agent and the Lenders, for their own respective accounts, fees as shall have been separately agreed upon  in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.  SECTION 4.4 Manner of Payment.  Each payment by the Borrower on account of the  principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the  Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made not later than 1:00  p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the  Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in Dollars, in  immediately available funds and shall be made without any setoff, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever.   Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. on such day shall be deemed a payment on such  date for the purposes of Section 9.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the  next succeeding Business Day.  Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made  on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each  such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set  

 

    53    forth herein its pro rata share in respect of the relevant Credit Facility (or other applicable share as provided  herein) of such payment and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender.  Each payment  to the Administrative Agent on account of the principal of or interest on the Swingline Loans or of any fee,  commission or other amounts payable to the Swingline Lender shall be made in like manner, but for the  account of the Swingline Lender.  Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the Issuing Lender’s fees  or L/C Participants’ commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Issuing Lender  or the L/C Participants, as the case may be.  Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative  Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable  to any Lender under Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or 11.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the  account of the applicable Lender.  Subject to the definition of Interest Period, if any payment under this  Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the  next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in  computing any interest if payable along with such payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists  a Defaulting Lender each payment by the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be applied  in accordance with Section 4.14(a)(ii).  SECTION 4.5 Evidence of Indebtedness.  (a) Extensions of Credit.  The Extensions of Credit made by each Lender and the Issuing  Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender or the Issuing  Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records  maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender or the Issuing Lender shall be conclusive absent  manifest error of the amount of the Extensions of Credit made by the Lenders or the Issuing Lender to the  Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall  not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing  with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained  by any Lender or the Issuing Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect  of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of  manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower  shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note,  Term Loan Note and/or Swingline Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving  Credit Loans, Term Loan Note and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or  records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity  of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.  (b) Participations.  In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each  Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice  accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations  in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records  maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in  respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence  of manifest error.  SECTION 4.6 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  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 Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of  the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant  to Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or 11.3) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender  receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase  (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make  such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the  

 

    54    Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their  respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:  (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment  giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price  restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and  (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment  made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement  (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the  application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 4.13 or (C) 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 Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to  the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this paragraph  shall apply).  Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under  Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may  exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as  fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.  SECTION 4.7 Administrative Agent’s Clawback.  (a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative  Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, not later than 12:00  noon on the date of any proposed borrowing and (ii) otherwise, 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 Sections 2.3(b) and 2.9 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available  to the 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 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 the Borrower  to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be  made by such Lender, the greater of the daily average Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the  Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the  case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the  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 the Borrower the amount of such  interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing  to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such  borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have  against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.  (b) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the  Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment  is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline  Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume  that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon  such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may  be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the  

 

    55    Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case maybe, severally agrees to repay to the  Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, Issuing Lender or  the Swingline Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is  distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the  Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking  industry rules on interbank compensation.  (c) Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit.  The obligations of the  Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several  and are not joint or joint and several.  The failure of any Lender to make available its pro rata share of any  Loan requested by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder  to make its pro rata share of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible  for the failure of any other Lender to make its pro rata share of such Loan available on the borrowing date.  SECTION 4.8 Changed Circumstances.  (a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability.  Subject to clause (c) below, in  connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or  otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be  conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the  London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the  Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent  manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for  such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall  determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR  Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans  during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the  Borrower.  Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no  longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to  convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and the Borrower  shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each  such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 4.1(d)), on the last day  of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; or (B) convert the then outstanding  principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest  Period.  (b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability.  If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or  any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any  Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or  administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices)  with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority,  central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of  their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate  Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative  Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders.  Thereafter, until the  Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of  the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a LIBOR  Rate Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower  may select only Base Rate Loans and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a  LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan  shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period.  

 

    56    (c) Benchmark Replacement Setting.  (i) Benchmark Replacement.    (A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan  Document (and any Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for  purposes of this Section 4.8(c)) if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in  Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior  to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if  a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(1) or (a)(2) of the  definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such  Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and  under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent  Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other  party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement  is determined in accordance with clause (a)(3) of the definition of “Benchmark  Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will  replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in  respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth  (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the  Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this  Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not  received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from  Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.  (B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan  Document, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date  have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current  Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current  Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such  Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or  further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;  provided that this clause (B) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has  delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice.  For the avoidance of  doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after  a Term SOFR Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.  (ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the  implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make  Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to  the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such  Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or  consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  (iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent  will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark  Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and  its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement,  (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or  reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.8(c)(iv) below and (E) the  commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination,  

 

    57    decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender  (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.8(c), including any determination with respect to  a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date  and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and  binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent  from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as  expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.8(c).  (iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary  herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the  implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate  (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not  displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as  selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor  for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of  information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative,  then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark  settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a  tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a  screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not,  or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a  Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the  definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such  previously removed tenor.  (v) Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the  commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a  borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans to be made, converted or  continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be  deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base  Rate Loans.  During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then- current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then- current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any  determination of the Base Rate.  SECTION 4.9 Indemnity.  The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any  loss or expense (including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds  obtained by it to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which  such funds were obtained) which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or  employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of  any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection  with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow or continue a LIBOR Rate Loan  or convert to a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of  Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan  on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor.  The amount of such loss or expense shall  be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender  funded its LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or  averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical.  A certificate of such Lender setting  forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be  forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be  correct save for manifest error.  

 

    58    SECTION 4.10 Increased Costs.  (a) Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:  (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,  insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or  advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve  requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or any Issuing Lender;  (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes  described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income  Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its  deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or  (iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any  other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans  made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;  and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or  such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its  obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other  Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation  to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable  by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other  amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower  shall promptly pay to any such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such  additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as  the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  (b) Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in  Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s  or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would  have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the  capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this  Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in  Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing  Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing  Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration  such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s  holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time upon written request  of such Lender or the Issuing Lender the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Issuing  Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the  Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.  (c) Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other  Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender,  such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in  paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest  error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may  be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.  

 

    59    (d) Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, the Issuing Lender or such  other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such  Lender’s, the Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided  that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any other  Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6)  months prior to the date that such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be,  notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such  Lender’s, the Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except  that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six- month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).  SECTION 4.11 Taxes.  (a) Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 4.11, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing  Lender and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.  (b) Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any  Credit Party under any 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  the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction  or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums  payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have  received had no such deduction or withholding been made.  (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties.  The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the  relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the  Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.  (d) Indemnification by the Credit Parties.  The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally  indemnify each Recipient, within ten (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) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from  a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,  whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant  Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the  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 and each Issuing Lender shall severally  indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties (with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) below),  within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to  such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative  Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii)  any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.9(d) 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 or any Credit Party, as the case may be, in  connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect  

 

    60    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 setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such  Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from  any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).  The  agreements in this paragraph (e) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative  Agent.  (f) Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit  Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.11, such Credit 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.  (g) Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax  with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the  Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the  Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested  by the 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by  Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will  enable the 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 4.11(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and  (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,  execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense  or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.  (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:  (A) (i) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the 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  Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals or copies of IRS Form W-9  certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax  and (ii) if the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to the Borrower on or  prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent  under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the  Borrower) an executed original or copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Administrative  Agent is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;  (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver  to the 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  

 

    61    request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is  applicable:  (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 any Loan Document, executed originals or copies of IRS Form W- 8BEN-E (or any successor form), as applicable, establishing an exemption from,  or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest”  article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments  under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form),  establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding  Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;  (2) executed originals or copies 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) of the Code, (x) a certificate  substantially in the form of Exhibit H-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 Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the  Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of  the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals or  copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form); or  (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner,  executed originals or copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W- 8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance  Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W- 9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;  provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or  indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest  exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate  substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect  partner;  (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver  to the 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals or copies of any  other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a  reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, or if applicable, any foreign  withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may  be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the 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 any Loan Document would be subject  to United States 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by  

 

    62    law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the  Borrower 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 date of this Agreement.  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes  obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the  Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.  (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in  good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this  Section 4.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.11), it shall pay  to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments  made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket  expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by  the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the  request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to  this paragraph (h) (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 (h), in no event will the indemnified  party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment  of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified  party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been  deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with  respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified  party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems  confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.  (i) Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.11 shall survive the resignation or  replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender,  the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all  obligations under any Loan Document.  SECTION 4.12 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under  Section 4.10, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender  or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, then such Lender  shall, at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for  funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its  offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would  eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.11, as the case may be, in the  future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise  be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses  incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.  

 

    63    (b) Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or if  the 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 4.11, and, in each case, such  Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with  Section 4.12(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the 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, and consents required by, Section 11.9), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing  rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the  related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may  be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:  (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if  any) specified in Section 11.9;  (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding  principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees  and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any  amounts under Section 4.9) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and  accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);  (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under  Section 4.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.11, such assignment will result  in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;  (iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and  (v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting  Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or  consent.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a  result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such  assignment and delegation cease to apply.  (c) Selection of a Lending Office.  Subject to Section 4.12(a), each Lender may make any  Loan to the Borrower through any Lending Office; provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect  the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or  otherwise alter the rights of the parties hereto.  SECTION 4.13 Cash Collateral.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within  one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the  Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Lender  and/or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving  effect to Section 4.14(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not  less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.  (a) Grant of Security Interest.  The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting  Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing  Lender and the Swingline Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash  Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C  

 

    64    Obligations and Swingline Loans, to be applied pursuant to subsection (b) below.  If at any time the  Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other  than the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender as herein provided (other  than pursuant to Section 8.2(j)), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum  Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide  to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency  (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).  (b) Application.

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a  Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post  Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such  Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.  (iii) Certain Fees.  (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for  any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be  required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to  that Defaulting Lender).  (B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit  commissions pursuant to Section 3.3 for any period during which that Lender is a  Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Commitment  Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash  Collateral pursuant to Section 4.13.

Subject to Section 11.26, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver  or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender  having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of  such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.  (v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.  If the reallocation described in  clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice  to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, repay Swingline Loans in an  amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the  Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.13.

(f) No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is a party to any contract, agreement or  arrangement that could, solely as a result of the delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of  transactions contemplated hereby, result in the payment of any “excess parachute payment” within the  meaning of Section 280G of the Code.  SECTION 6.10 Margin Stock.  No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is engaged  principally or as one of its important activities in the business of  “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin  stock” (as each such term is defined or used, directly or indirectly, in Regulation U of the Board of  Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or extending credit for such purpose.  No part of the proceeds  of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit will be used for, or extended as credit for, purchasing or carrying  margin stock or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of  Regulation T, U or X of such Board of Governors.  Following the application of the proceeds of each  Extension of Credit, not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the assets (either of the  Borrower only or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of  Section 8.2 or Section 8.5 or subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between  the Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to Indebtedness in excess of the  Threshold Amount will be “margin stock”.

As of the Closing Date, no Credit Party nor any Subsidiary thereof (other than Immaterial Foreign  

 

    75    Subsidiaries) (nor, to its knowledge, any other party thereto) is in breach of or in default under any Material  Contract in any material respect.  SECTION 6.13 Employee Relations.  As of the Closing Date, no Credit Party or any  Subsidiary thereof is party to any collective bargaining agreement, nor has any labor union been recognized  as the representative of its employees except as set forth on Schedule 6.13.  The Borrower does not know  of any pending, threatened (in writing) strikes, work stoppage or other collective labor disputes involving  its employees or those of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected  to have a Material Adverse Effect.  SECTION 6.14 Financial Statements.  The audited and unaudited financial statements  delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(e)(i) are complete and correct in all material respects and fairly present  on a Consolidated basis the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as  at such dates, and the results of the operations and changes of financial position for the periods then ended  in all material respects (other than customary year-end adjustments for unaudited financial statements and  the absence of footnotes from unaudited financial statements).

SECTION 6.15 No Material Adverse Change.  Since June 30, 2020, there has been no material  adverse change in the properties, business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower  and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and no event has occurred or condition arisen, either individually or  in the aggregate, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary  thereof (other than Immaterial Foreign Subsidiaries) has such title to, or valid leasehold interests in, the real  property owned or leased by it as is necessary to the conduct of its business and valid and legal title to all  of its personal property and assets, except those which have been disposed of by the Credit Parties and their  Subsidiaries subsequent to such date which dispositions have been in the ordinary course of business or as  otherwise permitted hereunder and except where the failure to have such title or leasehold interests could  not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  SECTION 6.18 Litigation.  Except for matters existing on the Closing Date and set forth on  Schedule 6.18, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending nor, to its knowledge, threatened in writing  against or in any other way relating adversely to or affecting any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof or  any of their respective properties in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any  Governmental Authority that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE X  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT  SECTION 10.1 Appointment and Authority.  (a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo to act  on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes  the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated  to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are  reasonably incidental thereto.  Except as provided in Sections 10.6 and 10.9, the provisions of this Article  are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and neither the  Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such  provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan  Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to  connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any  Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect  only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.  (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan  Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash  

 

    100    Management Bank) and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative  Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and  enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Secured  Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including,  without limitation, to enter into additional Loan Documents or supplements to existing Loan Documents  on behalf of the Secured Parties).  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and  any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this  Article X for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted  under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the  Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Articles X and XI (including  Section 11.3, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under  the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.  SECTION 10.2 Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder  shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the  same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless  otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the  Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept  deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity  for and generally engage in any kind of business with the 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.  SECTION 10.3 Exculpatory Provisions.  (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly  set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be  administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:  (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether  a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;  (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any  discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by  the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in  writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be  expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative  Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may  expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable  Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay  under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property  of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and  (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,  have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating  to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the  Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with  the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders  as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under  

 

    101    the circumstances as provided in Section 11.2 and Section 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross  negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable  judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of  Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative  Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Lender.  (c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or  inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or  any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder  or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the  covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any  Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this  Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the  satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of  items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.  SECTION 10.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be  entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,  consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or  intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or  otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement  made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not  incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the  making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms  must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may  presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative  Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making  of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal  counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it,  and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such  counsel, accountants or experts.  SECTION 10.5 Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of  its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through  any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any  such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their  respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and  to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective  activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facility 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 non-appealable  judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection  of such sub-agents.  SECTION 10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.  (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the  Issuing Lender and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders  shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred  and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an  office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such  

 

    102    successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment  within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day  as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring  Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender,  appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a  successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on  the Resignation Effective Date.  (b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d)  of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice  in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in  consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by  the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as  shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall  nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.  (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as  applicable), (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and  obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral  security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the  Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral  security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity  payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and  determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by  or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint  a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s  appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with  all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than  any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring  or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or  under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent  shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and  such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder  and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.3 shall continue in  effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective  Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or  removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or related to its duties as  Administrative Agent that are carried out following its retirement or removal.  (d) Any resignation by, or removal of, Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this  Section shall also constitute its resignation as the Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender.  Upon the  acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall  succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing  Lender, if in its sole discretion it elects to, and Swingline Lender, (ii) the retiring Issuing Lender and  Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under  the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Lender, if in its sole discretion it elects to, shall  issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such  succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume  the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.  

 

    103    SECTION 10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and  the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative  Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as  it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each  Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the  Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and  information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or  not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement  or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  SECTION 10.8 No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none  of the syndication agents, documentation agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners listed on the cover  page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan  Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing  Lender hereunder.  SECTION 10.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  (a) Each of the Lenders (including in its or any of its Affiliate’s capacities as a potential Hedge  Bank or Cash Management Bank) irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its  discretion:  (i) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative  Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Loan Document (A) upon the  termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and payment in full of all Secured Obligations  (other than (1) contingent indemnification obligations and (2) obligations and liabilities under  Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements  satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and  the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other  arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender shall have been  made), (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or  in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (C) if  approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.2;  (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative  Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien permitted under Section 8.2(h); and  (iii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents if such  Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the  Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of  property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this  Section 10.9.  In each case as specified in this Section 10.9, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s  expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may  reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security  interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such  Guarantor from its obligations under any Guaranty Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms  of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.9.  In the case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any  property constituting Collateral in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to  

 

    104    Section 8.5, the Liens created by any of the Security Documents on such property shall be automatically  released without need for further action by any person.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree (a) in circumstances where the  Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the cost or effort of obtaining or perfecting a security  interest in any asset that constitutes Collateral is excessive in relation to the benefit afforded to the Secured  Parties thereby, the Administrative Agent may exclude such Collateral from the creation and/or perfection  requirements set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) the Administrative Agent  may grant extensions of time for the creation and/or perfection of Liens in a particular property where it  determines that such creation and/or perfection cannot be accomplished without undue effort and/or  expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or any other Loan  Document.  (b) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire  into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the  existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by  any Credit 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.  SECTION 10.10 Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements.  No  Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 9.4 or any Collateral by virtue  of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to  consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in  respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as  a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify  the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Cash  Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received  written notice of such Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, together  with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash  Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.  SECTION 10.11 Erroneous Payments.  (a) Each Lender and the Issuing Lender hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative  Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Issuing Lender  that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender  or Issuing Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to,  or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender or Issuing Lender (whether or not known  to such Lender or Issuing Lender) or (ii) it receives any 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, (y)  that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of  its Affiliates) with respect to such payment or (z) that such Lender or Issuing Lender otherwise becomes  aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then , in each case an error  in payment has been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 10.11(a),  whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise;  individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and the Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may  be, is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment and to  the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not assert any right or claim  to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or  

 

    105    recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return  of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on  “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  (b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender and the Issuing Lender  agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business  Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent in writing of  such occurrence and, in the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above upon demand from the  Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return  to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which  such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon  in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was  received by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent  in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative  Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  (c) The Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous  Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such  Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to  all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Lender with respect to such amount, (y) an Erroneous Payment  shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any  other Credit Party and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited  as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so  credited, and all rights of the applicable Lender, Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent or other Secured  Party, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or  satisfaction had never been received.  (d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.11 shall survive the resignation or  replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of,  a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge  of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SECTION 11.2 Amendments, Waivers and Consents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right  to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Revolving Credit  Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the  Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the  Borrower and the Administrative Agent), to (x) amend and restate this Agreement if, upon giving effect to  such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended  and restated), the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated, such Lender shall  have no other commitment or obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest  and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement and (y) enter into  amendments or modifications to this Agreement (including, without limitation, amendments to this  Section 11.2) or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents as the  Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to effectuate the terms of Section 2.7  (including, without limitation, as applicable, (1) to permit the Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving  Credit Facility Increase to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents  and (2) to include the Incremental Term Loans and the outstanding Revolving Credit Facility Increase, as  applicable, or outstanding Incremental Term Loans and outstanding Revolving Credit Facility Increase, as  applicable, in any determination of (i) Required Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders or  (ii) similar required lender terms applicable thereto); provided that no amendment or modification shall  result in any increase in the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or the amount of such  Lender’s Loans or any increase in any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, in each case,  without the written consent of such affected Lender.  

 

    110    SECTION 11.3 Expenses; Indemnity.  (a) Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower and each other Credit Party, jointly and severally, shall  pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their  respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, which shall be  limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of McGuireWoods LLP and one local counsel in each  applicable foreign jurisdiction) in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facility, the preparation,  negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or  any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the  transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out of pocket  expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension  of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out of pocket expenses incurred  by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender (including the fees, charges and  disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), in  connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the  other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made  or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any  workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

    111    Agent or the Arrangers in their capacities as such under the Loan Documents.  This Section 11.3(b) shall  not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Indemnified Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages,  etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to  indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the  Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Related  Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any  such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such  Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity  payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time, or if the Total  Credit Exposure has been reduced to zero, then based on such Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure  immediately prior to such reduction) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect  of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to the Issuing  Lender or the Swingline Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be  required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on such  Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the  applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought or, if the Revolving Credit Commitment  has been reduced to zero as of such time, determined immediately prior to such reduction); provided,  further, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as  the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent),  the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of  the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or the  Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c)  are subject to the provisions of Section 4.7.  (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable  Law, the Borrower and each other Credit Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any  Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed  to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other  Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated  hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred  to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any  information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other  information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the  transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,  liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable  judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  (e) Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand  therefor.  (f) Survival.

    112    Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Credit  Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the  Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not  such Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate shall have made any demand  under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such  Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender, the Issuing  Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Affiliate different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such  deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall  exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the  Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.4 and, pending  such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust  for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and  (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in  reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of  setoff.  The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and their respective Affiliates  under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such  Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender, the  Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agree to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent  promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect  the validity of such setoff and application.  SECTION 11.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Etc.  (a) Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS  AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN  CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING  TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER  LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED  IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD  TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF  THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.  (b) Submission to Jurisdiction.  The Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably and  unconditionally agrees that it will not 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, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender, or any Related Party of the foregoing in any  way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document 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, and any appellate court from any thereof, and  each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and  agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined  in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such federal  court.  Each of the parties 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 or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right  that the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender may otherwise  have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the  Borrower or any other Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.  

 

    113    (c) Waiver of Venue.  The Borrower and each other Credit Party 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 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 Applicable Law, the defense  of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.  (d) Service of Process.  Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the  manner provided for notices in Section 11.1.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party  hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.  SECTION 11.6 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 (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF  ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH  OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE  FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) 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.  SECTION 11.7 Reversal of Payments.  To the extent any Credit Party makes a payment or  payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of any of the Secured Parties or to any Secured  Party directly or the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party receives any payment or proceeds of the  Collateral or any Secured Party exercises its right of setoff, which payments or proceeds (including any  proceeds of such setoff) or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or  preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor  Relief Law, other Applicable Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid,  the Secured Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force  and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent, and each  Lender and the Issuing Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its  applicable ratable share (without duplication of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the  Administrative Agent) plus interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate from the  date of such demand to the date such payment is made to the Administrative Agent.  SECTION 11.8 Injunctive Relief.  The Borrower recognizes that, in the event the Borrower  fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy  of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders. Therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Lenders,  at the Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case  without the necessity of proving actual damages.  SECTION 11.9 Successors and Assigns; Participations.  (a) Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon  and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,  except that neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its  rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each  

 

    114    Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except  (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of  participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge  or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section (and any  other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this  Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties  hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in  paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each  of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by  reason of this Agreement.  (b) Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all  or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving  Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that, in each case with respect to any  Credit Facility, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:  (i) Minimum Amounts.  (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the  assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to  it (in each case with respect to any Credit Facility), no minimum amount need be assigned;  and  (B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the  aggregate amount of the Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitment or, if the applicable  Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of  the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the  date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the  Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption,  as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, if less, then the remaining amount  of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Loans, unless each of the  Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or  delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10)  Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning  Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the  Borrower prior to such tenth (10th) Business Day;  (ii) Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment  of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement  with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned;  (iii) Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the  extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:  (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld  or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing  at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a  Lender; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such  assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent  within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;  

 

    115    (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be  unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is  to a Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender; and  (C) the consents of the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (such  consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment  in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.  (iv) Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and  deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing  and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in  its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.   The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative  Questionnaire.  Upon the Borrower’s request after the effectiveness of any Assignment and  Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the Borrower an updated schedule  of the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments of each Lender under this Agreement.  (v) No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) the  Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its  Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the  foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).  (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural  Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the  primary benefit of, a natural Person).  (vii) Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and  obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and  until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall  make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient,  upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee  of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the  consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans  previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable  assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment  liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender,  the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B)  acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of  Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any  Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance  with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a  Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this  Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee  thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment  and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning  Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be  released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption  covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease  

 

    116    to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.3  with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided,  that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting  Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s  having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under  this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as  a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of  this Section (other than a purported assignment to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment  vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person) or the Borrower or  any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, which shall be null and void).  (c) Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent  of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each  Assignment and Assumption and each Incremental Amendment delivered to it and a register for the  recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and  principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof  from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error,  and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is  recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this  Agreement.  The Register, any Assignment and Assumption, and any Administrative Questionnaire shall  be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable  prior notice by the Borrower.  The Register shall be available for inspection by any Lender (but only to  the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from  time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  (d) Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the  Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the  Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of  such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving  Credit Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this  Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties  hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the  Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender 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.  For the  avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.3(c) with respect  to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such  Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification  or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that  such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or  waiver or modification described in Section 11.2(b), (c), (d) or (e) that directly and adversely affects such  Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10  and 4.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under  Section 4.11(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.11(g) shall be  delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest  by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be  subject to the provisions of Section 4.12 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and  (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.10 or 4.11, 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  

 

    117    acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s  request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions  of Section 4.12(b) with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also  shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant  agrees to be subject to Section 4.6 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  Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal  amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the  Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose  all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information  relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under  any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that  such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c)  of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent  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.  (e) Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or  any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without  limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such  pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any  such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.  (f) 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 Borrower, the Administrative  Agent and such Lender.  SECTION 11.10 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative  Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as  defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Related  Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the  confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the  extent required or requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any regulatory or similar authority purporting  to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as  the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) as to the extent required by Applicable Laws or  regulations or in any legal, judicial, administrative or other compulsory proceeding, (d) to any other party  hereto (subject to the applicable provisions of Section 7.2), (e) in connection with the exercise of any  remedies under this Agreement, under any other Loan Document or under any Secured Hedge Agreement  or Secured Cash Management Agreement, or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other  Loan Document or any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, or the  enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions  substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective  assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or  prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments  are to be made by reference to the Borrower and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder,  (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries  

 

    118    or the Credit Facility or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance  and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Credit Facility, (h) with the consent of the Borrower,  (i) with the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld, to Gold Sheets and other similar  bank trade publications, such information to consist solely of deal terms and other information customarily  found in such publications, (j) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a  result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the  Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates from a third party that is not, to such Person’s  knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to the Borrower, (k) to governmental regulatory  authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or in  accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory compliance policy if the  Administrative Agent or such Lender deems necessary for the mitigation of claims by those authorities  against the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or (l) for purposes  of establishing a “due diligence” defense, provided that, unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law  or court order, each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or  representative thereof (other than such request in connection with any examination of the financial  condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of  any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information.  For purposes of this Section,  “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to  any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such  information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on a non- confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the  case of information received from a Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such  information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  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.  SECTION 11.11 Performance of Duties.  Each of the Credit Party’s obligations under this  Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be performed by such Credit Party at its sole cost  and expense.  SECTION 11.12 All Powers Coupled with Interest.  All powers of attorney and other  authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the  Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan  Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the  Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Revolving Credit Commitments remain in effect or the  Credit Facility has not been terminated.  SECTION 11.13 Survival.  (a) All representations and warranties set forth in Article VI and all representations and  warranties contained in any certificate, or any of the Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any  such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute  representations and warranties made under this Agreement.  All representations and warranties made under  this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of  this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders or any borrowing hereunder.  (b) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the  Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XI and any other  provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall  

 

    119    protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as  before.  SECTION 11.14 Titles and Captions.  Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections  in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the  provisions of this Agreement.  SECTION 11.15 Severability of Provisions.  Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan  Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be  ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of  such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of  such provision in any other jurisdiction.  In the event that any provision is held to be so prohibited or  unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate  in good faith to amend such provision to preserve the original intent thereof in such jurisdiction (subject to  the approval of the Required Lenders).  SECTION 11.16 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.  (a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts  (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but  all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan  Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent,  the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and/or the Arrangers, 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 5.1,  this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and  when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the  signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of  this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a  manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  (b) Electronic Execution.  The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”  “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any  document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report,  statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any  other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic  Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic  platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form,  each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature  or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in  any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act,  the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the  Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  Each party hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature or execution  in the form of an Electronic Record shall be valid and binding on itself and each of the other parties hereto  to the same extent as a manual, original signature.  For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under  this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the parties of a manually signed paper  which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically  signed paper converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.  Notwithstanding  anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an  Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent  pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the  

 

    120    Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature from any party hereto, the  Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature  purportedly given by or on behalf of the executing party without further verification and (b) upon the  request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed  by an original manually executed counterpart thereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  each party hereto 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 and any of the Credit Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or  any other Loan Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto)  shall have  the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument,  defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack  of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.  SECTION 11.17 Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing  Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification  obligations not then due) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly  and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full, all Letters of Credit have been terminated or expired (or been  Cash Collateralized or other arrangements with respect thereto have been made that are satisfactory to the  Issuing Lender) or otherwise satisfied in a manner acceptable to the Issuing Lender and the Revolving  Credit Commitment has been terminated.  No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and  obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this  Agreement which survives such termination.  SECTION 11.18 USA PATRIOT Act; Anti-Money Laundering Laws.  The Administrative  Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT  Act or any other Anti-Money Laundering Laws, each of them is required to obtain, verify and record  information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each  Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance  with the PATRIOT Act or such Anti-Money Laundering Laws.  SECTION 11.19 Independent Effect of Covenants.  The Borrower expressly acknowledges and  agrees that each covenant contained in Articles VII or VIII hereof shall be given independent effect.   Accordingly, the Borrower shall not engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any  covenant contained in Articles VII or VIII, if before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, the  Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Articles VII or VIII.  SECTION 11.20 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  (a) In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Credit Party  acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the facilities provided  for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection  with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s- length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the  Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of  evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the  transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or  other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each  of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal  and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders,  creditors or employees or any other Person, (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the  Lenders has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the  

 

    121    Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto,  including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan  Document (irrespective of whether any Arranger or Lender has advised or is currently advising the  Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or  the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the financing  transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan  Documents, (iv) the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad  range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrower  and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation  to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship and (v) the  Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal,  accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including  any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Credit  Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have  deemed appropriate.  (b) Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that each Lender, the Arrangers and any  Affiliate thereof may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the  Borrower, any Affiliate thereof or any other person or entity that may do business with or own securities  of any of the foregoing, all as if such Lender, Arranger or Affiliate thereof were not a Lender or Arranger  or an Affiliate thereof (or an agent or any other person with any similar role under the Credit Facilities)  and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender, the Arrangers, the Borrower or any Affiliate  of the foregoing.  Each Lender, the Arrangers and any Affiliate thereof may accept fees and other  consideration from the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof for services in connection with this Agreement,  the Credit Facilities or otherwise without having to account for the same to any other Lender, the  Arrangers, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing.  SECTION 11.21 [Reserved].  SECTION 11.22 Nature of Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in the  Loan Documents, the Credit Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations.  For the  avoidance of doubt, no Foreign Subsidiary and no Foreign Subsidiary Holdco shall be liable for any  Obligations or shall be required to guarantee any of the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict or  inconsistency between this Section 11.22 and any other provision of any Loan Document, this Section 11.22  shall control.  SECTION 11.23 Judgment Currency.  Each Credit Party’s obligation hereunder and under the  other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or  recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except  to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the  Issuing Lender or the respective Lender of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the  Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan  Documents.  If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or  in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other  currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”), an amount due in Dollars, the  conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent (or, if the  Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such  currency designated by the Administrative Agent), determined, in each case, as of the Business Day on  which the judgment is given.  If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to  the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender from the Borrower, the Borrower agrees as a  separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the  

 

    122    Issuing Lender or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss.  If the amount of Dollars so purchased  is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, the  Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount  of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable  Law).  For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 11.23, such amounts shall include  any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of Dollars.  SECTION 11.24 Inconsistencies with Other Documents.  In the event there is a conflict or  inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall  control; provided that any provision of the Security Documents which imposes additional burdens on the  Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries  or gives the Administrative Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or  inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.  SECTION 11.25 Amendment and Restatement; No Novation.  This Agreement constitutes an  amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, effective from and after the Closing Date.   The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other  obligations owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement based  on facts or events occurring or existing prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.  On the  Closing Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be amended,  supplemented, modified and restated in their entirety by the facilities described herein, and all loans and  other obligations of the Borrower outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement, shall  be deemed to be loans and obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein,  without any further action by any Person, except that the Administrative Agent shall make such transfers  of funds as are necessary in order that the outstanding balance of such Loans, together with any Loans  funded on the Closing Date, reflect the respective Revolving Credit Commitment of the Lenders hereunder  and the Borrower agrees to pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 4.9 in connection with such  transfers as if all Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement were repaid on the Closing Date, to the extent  not waived by the applicable Lenders.  SECTION 11.26 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement  or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected  Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be  subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and  consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:  (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution  Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is  an Affected Financial Institution; and  (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:  (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;  (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments  of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution  that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of  ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this  Agreement or any other Loan Document; or  

 

    123    (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the  Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.  SECTION 11.27 Certain ERISA Matters.  (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party  hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such  Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and  their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any  other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:  (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of  ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into,  participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the  Revolving Credit Commitments;  (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a  class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset  managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company  general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance  company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions  involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain  transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s  entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of  Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and this Agreement;  (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset  Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset  Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in,  administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit Commitments and  this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the  Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the  avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that none of the  Administrative Agent, any Arranger and their respective Affiliates is 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 Credit Commitments and this Agreement  

 

    124    (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).  SECTION 11.28 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the  Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge 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 FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and  Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special  Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions  below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated  to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the  United States):  (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”)  becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported  QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such  Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC  or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer  would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit  Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United  States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered  Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the  Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may  be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such  Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and  the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without  limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect  to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported  QFC or any QFC Credit Support.  (b) As used in this Section 11.28, the following terms have the following meanings:  “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and  interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.  “Covered Entity” means any of the following:  (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,  12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);  (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12  C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or  (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12  C.F.R. § 382.2(b).  “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in  accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.  

 

    125    “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be  interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).  [Remainder of page intentionally left blank; signature pages follow]

EXHIBIT A-1  to  Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement  dated as of March 30, 2021  by and among  Ubiquiti Inc.,  as Borrower,  the lenders party thereto,  as Lenders,  and  Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,  as Administrative Agent      FORM OF REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE        

 

    REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE   __________, 20___      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, UBIQUITI INC., a Delaware corporation (the  “Borrower”), promises to pay to _______________ (the “Lender”), at the place and times provided in the  Credit Agreement referred to below, the principal sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving  Credit Loans made by the Lender from time to time pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated  Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2021 (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise  modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto  and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent.  Capitalized terms used herein and  not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement.  The unpaid principal amount of this Revolving Credit Note from time to time outstanding is payable  as provided in the Credit Agreement and shall bear interest as provided in Section 4.1 of the Credit  Agreement.  All payments of principal and interest on this Revolving Credit Note shall be payable in Dollars  in immediately available funds as provided in the Credit Agreement.  This Revolving Credit Note is entitled to the benefits of, and evidences Obligations incurred under,  the Credit Agreement, to which reference is made for a description of the security for this Revolving Credit  Note and for a statement of the terms and conditions on which the Borrower is permitted and required to  make prepayments and repayments of principal of the Obligations evidenced by this Revolving Credit Note  and on which such Obligations may be declared to be immediately due and payable.
