If, after the Fifth A&R Closing Date (as defined below), there shall be any change in the application of the accounting principles used in preparation of Borrower’s financial statements as a result of any changes in GAAP including International Financial Reporting Standards becoming applicable to Borrower, which changes (a) result in a change in the method of calculation of, or (b) impact on, the financial covenant or other covenants applicable to Borrower found in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders (as defined below) shall so request, Borrower and Agent shall promptly enter into negotiations in good faith in order to amend the financial covenant or other covenants so as to reflect equitably such changes with the desired result that the evaluations of Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made.

  (c)Swingline Loans.  

  (i)Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Swingline Loans in U.S. Dollars by way of U.S. Base Rate Loans to Borrower from time to time from the Restatement Effective Date to, but not including, the Maturity Date; provided, that (i) after giving effect to any amount requested, the Revolving Loan Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested) shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment.

The borrowing and disbursement provisions set forth in Section 3.1(h) and any other provision hereof with respect to the timing or amount of payments on the Swingline Loans (other than the requirement that the Swingline Loans be repaid in full on the Maturity Date set forth herein) shall not be applicable to Swingline Loans made and prepaid pursuant to the Sweep Arrangement.

  53

  152032952_12

  

   

  Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay Swingline Lender.  Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds at Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day specified in such notice.  The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by Agent to Swingline Lender for application by Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Swingline Loans.

  (iii)Borrower shall pay to Swingline Lender on demand, and in any event on the Maturity Date, in immediately available funds the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded.  In addition, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to charge any account (other than fiduciary accounts as to which a Credit Party is acting as fiduciary for another Person who is not a Credit Party and payroll or trust fund accounts) maintained by Borrower with Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving 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 Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of Borrower from Swingline Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Loan Commitment.

Each Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its Swingline Participation Amount.  Whenever, at any time after Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s 

  54

  152032952_12

  

   

  participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided that in the event that such payment received by Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by Swingline Lender.

  (v)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans referred to in Section 2.1(c)(ii) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(iv) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or Borrower may have against Swingline Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article 4, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party, (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement by any Credit Party or any other Lender or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

  (vi)If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Agent, for the account of Swingline Lender, any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1(c) by the time specified in Section 2.1(c)(ii) or 2.1(c)(iv), as applicable, Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan or Swingline Participation Amount, as the case may be.  A certificate of Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

  2.2Letter of Credit Accommodations

In addition to any charges, fees or expenses charged by Issuing Lender in connection with the Letter of Credit Accommodations, Borrower shall pay to Agent a letter of credit fee at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin per annum for Term SOFR Loans on the daily outstanding balance of the Letter of Credit Accommodations for the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter (or part thereof), payable in arrears as of the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter.  Such letter of credit fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed and the obligation of Borrower to pay such fee shall survive the maturity or termination of this Agreement.  This letter of credit fee shall not be payable to a Lender during the period it is a Defaulting Lender.

All commitment fees under Section 3.7 accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

  (b)Each permanent reduction permitted pursuant to clause (a) of this Section shall be accompanied by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations, as applicable, after such reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced, and if the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced, the Borrower shall be 

  57

  152032952_12

  

   

  required to deposit cash collateral in a cash collateral account opened by the Agent in an amount equal to such excess.  Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.3(b).  Any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment to zero shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans (and furnishing of cash collateral satisfactory to the Agent for all Letter of Credit Accommodations or other arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Lender) and shall result in the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitment and the Swingline Commitment and the Revolving Loan Facility.  If the reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment requires the repayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, CDOR Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof.

  (c)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Agent pursuant to a Notice of Prepayment given not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) (i) on the same Business Day as prepayment of each U.S. Base Rate Loan, each Canadian Prime Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan and (ii) (A) in the case of a Term SOFR Loan, at least three (3) SOFR Business Days before prepayment of such Term SOFR Loan, (B) in the case of a CDOR Rate Loan, at least five (5) Business Days before prepayment of such CDOR Rate Loan and (C) in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan at least four (4) Eurocurrency Banking Days before prepayment of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, in each case, specifying the date, Currency and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans, U.S. Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime 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 Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving 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.  A Notice of Prepayment received after 12:00 noon (New York time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day, SOFR Business Day or Eurocurrency Banking Day, as applicable.  Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof.

  (d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Notice of Prepayment delivered in connection with any refinancing of all of the credit facility established by this Agreement with the proceeds of such refinancing or of any incurrence of Debt or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, may be, if expressly so stated to be, contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing or incurrence or occurrence of such other identifiable event or condition and may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such contingency is not met (provided that the failure of such contingency shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations in respect thereof under Section 3.3).

  2.5Hedge Transactions

  Agent or a Lender (or their respective Affiliates) may offer to make available Hedge Agreements to Borrower from time to time (it being understood that nothing contained herein shall be construed to commit any person to enter into any Hedge Agreement) upon terms mutually acceptable to Agent or such Lender or such Affiliate and Borrower.  

  2.6Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Loans

  (a)At any time, Borrower may by written notice to Agent elect to request the establishment of:

  58

  152032952_12

  

   

  (i)one or more new or incremental term loan commitments (any such new or incremental term loan commitment, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) to make one or more new or additional term loans, including a borrowing of a new or additional term loan under this Agreement (any such new or additional term loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”); or

  (ii)one or more increases in the Revolving Loan Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment” and, together with the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Loan Commitments”) to make additional revolving loans under this Agreement (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Loan Increase” and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Loans”);

  provided that (1) the total aggregate principal amount (as of the date of incurrence thereof) of such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments and Incremental Revolving Loan Increases shall not exceed the Fixed Incremental Amount, (2) the total aggregate principal amount (as of the date of incurrence thereof) of such Incremental Loans shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Amount, (3) the amount for each Incremental Term Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Term Loans made thereunder) shall not be less than a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 or, if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (2) and (4) the amount for each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be less than a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000.

  (b)Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Borrower proposes that any Incremental Loan Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Agent (or such earlier date as may be approved by Agent).  

  (c)Borrower may invite any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender and/or any Approved Fund, and/or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to provide an Incremental Loan Commitment (any such Person, an “Incremental Lender”).  Any proposed Incremental Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Loan Commitment or any portion thereof.  

  (d)Any Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that each of the following conditions has been satisfied or waived as of such Increased Amount Date:

  (i)no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date immediately prior to or after giving effect to (1) any Incremental Loan Commitment, and (2) the making of any Incremental Loans pursuant thereto (determined upon the earlier to occur of (x) the execution of definitive documentation with respect to any investment in connection with the incurrence of such Incremental Loan Commitment and (y) such investment); 

  59

  152032952_12

  

   

  (ii)Agent and Lenders shall have received from Borrower a Compliance Certificate demonstrating, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, that Borrower is in compliance with (1) the provisos in Section 2.6(a) and (2) (A) at all times other than during the Designated Period, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio pursuant to Section 9.1, and (B) during the Designated Period, the minimum Liquidity covenant pursuant to Section 9.2, in each case under this clause (2) to be based on the financial statements most recently delivered pursuant to Section 7.6(a) both before and after giving effect (on a Pro Forma Basis) to (x) any Incremental Loan Commitment, (y) the making of any Incremental Loans pursuant thereto (with any Incremental Loan Commitment being deemed to be fully funded) and (z) any Permitted Investment consummated in connection therewith, in each case, without duplication;

  (iii)[reserved];

  (iv)the proceeds of any Incremental Loans shall be used in accordance with Section 5.5;

  (v)each Incremental Term Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Term Loans made thereunder) shall constitute Obligations of Borrower and shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Obligations on a pari passu or junior basis;

  (vi)each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Revolving Loan Increase made thereunder) shall constitute Obligations of Borrower and shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Revolving Loans and any applicable then outstanding Incremental Term Loans on a pari passu basis;

  (vii)in the case of each Incremental Term Loan (the terms of which shall be set forth in the relevant Lender Joinder Agreement):

  (A)such Incremental Term Loan will not have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any applicable then outstanding Incremental Term Loans or a maturity date earlier than the Maturity Date;

  (B)the applicable margin and pricing grid, if applicable, for such Incremental Term Loan shall be determined by Agent, the applicable Incremental Lenders and Borrower on the applicable Increased Amount Date; provided that during the Designated Period, the effective yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loan shall not be greater than the effective yield then applicable to any applicable then outstanding Incremental Term Loans unless the Applicable Margin for the then outstanding Incremental Term Loans is increased such that the effective yield of such then outstanding Incremental Term Loans equals the effective yield of such Incremental Term Loan (with such effective yields being reasonably determined by the Agent in consultation with the Borrower in a manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices, taking into account: (a) interest rate 

  60

  152032952_12

  

   

  margins, (b) original issue discount (“OID”) and upfront or similar fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to the lenders under, or holders of, any such Debt in the initial primary syndication thereof (with OID and upfront fees being equated to interest based on assumed four-year life to maturity (or, if less, the stated weighted average life to maturity at the time of its incurrence of the applicable Debt)), and (c) any interest rate floor, but excluding (i) any arrangement, commitment, structuring, agency or underwriting fees that are not paid to or shared with all relevant lenders generally in connection with the commitment or syndication of such Debt, (ii) any ticking, unused line or similar fees or (iii) any other fee that is not paid directly by the Borrower generally to all relevant lenders ratably in the primary syndication of such Debt; provided that (x) to the extent that any interest rate specified for such Debt that is subject to a floor (in each case, without giving effect to any such floor on the date on which the effective yield is being calculated) is less than such floor, the amount of such difference will be deemed added to the interest rate margin applicable to such Debt for purposes of calculating the effective yield and (y) to the extent that any interest rate specified for such Debt that is subject to a floor (in each case, without giving effect to any such floor on the date on which the effective yield is being calculated) is equal to or greater than such floor, the floor will be disregarded in calculating the effective yield); and

  (C)except as provided above, all other terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan shall be substantially identical to those applicable to the applicable then outstanding Incremental Term Loans or not more restrictive than those applicable to such other Incremental Term Loans;

  (viii)in the case of each Incremental Revolving Loan Increase (the terms of which shall be set forth in the relevant Lender Joinder Agreement):

  (A)such Incremental Revolving Loan Increase shall mature on the Maturity Date, shall bear interest and be entitled to fees at the rate applicable to the Revolving Loans and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Loans; and

  (B)the outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations will be reallocated by Agent on the applicable Increased Amount Date among the Revolving Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Loan Increase) in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Share and the Revolving Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Loan Increase) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and Borrower shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 3.3 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment; 

  61

  152032952_12

  

   

  (ix)any Incremental Lender making any Incremental Term Loan shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Term Lenders under the any then existing Incremental Term Loan and (unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Incremental Lenders) each Incremental Term Loan shall receive proceeds of payments on the same basis as the existing Incremental Term Loans made hereunder; 

  (x)any Incremental Lender with an Incremental Revolving Loan Increase shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Loan Facility and any Revolving Loan made in connection with each Incremental Revolving Loan Increase shall receive proceeds of payments on the same basis as the other Revolving Loans made hereunder;

  (xi)such Incremental Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Lender Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by Borrower, Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders (which Lender Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.6); and

  (xii)Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents (including a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of Borrower authorizing such Incremental Loan and/or Incremental Loan Commitment) as may be reasonably requested by Agent in connection with any such transaction.

  (e)The Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be Loans; provided that any such Incremental Term Loan that is not added to the outstanding principal balance of a pre-existing Incremental Term Loan shall be designated as a separate tranche of Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

   

  (f)The Incremental Lenders shall be included in any determination of the Required Lenders and, unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Incremental Lenders that their respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment (and the Incremental Term Loans made thereunder) shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Obligations on a junior basis, the Incremental Lenders will not constitute a separate voting class for any purposes under this Agreement.

  (g)On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Term Loan Commitment becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make, or be obligated to make, an Incremental Term Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment and shall become a Term Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loan made pursuant thereto.

  62

  152032952_12

  

   

  (h)On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Revolving Loan Increase becomes effective, subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, each Incremental Lender with an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment shall become a Revolving Lender hereunder with respect to such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment.

  (i)The incurrence of Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to Section 8.3(y) shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the aggregate amount of Incremental Loans permitted to be incurred under Section 2.6(a).

  Article 3
INTEREST, REQUESTS FOR REVOLVING LOANS, INCREASED COSTS AND FEES

  3.1Interest

  (a)Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay to Agent interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans at the applicable Interest Rate.

  (b)Payment and Calculation.  Interest shall be payable by Borrower to Agent (i) in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans and U.S. Base Rate Loans, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and (ii) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, CDOR Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Rate Loans, on the last day of each Interest Period (and in the case of an Interest Period of greater than three (3) months, on the last day of each three (3) month period during such Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period).  All computations of interest for U.S. Base Rate Loans (when the U.S. Base Rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Prime Rate), Canadian Prime Rate Loans and CDOR Rate Loans 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).  The interest rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and U.S. Base Rate Loans shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase or decrease in the Canadian Prime Rate or U.S. Base Rate after any change in such rate is announced.  All interest accruing hereunder on and after an Event of Default that is continuing or maturity or termination hereof shall be payable on demand.  In no event shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrower to Agent or Lenders exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any Applicable Law, and if any part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such Applicable Law, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto.

  (c)Interest Act (Canada).  For purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), where interest is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based upon a 360 day year (the “U.S. First Rate”), it is hereby agreed that the rate or percentage of interest on a yearly basis is equivalent to such U.S. First Rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year divided by 360.  Each Credit Party confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement.  Agent agrees that if requested in writing by Borrower it shall calculate the nominal and effective per annum rate of interest on any Loan 

  63

  152032952_12

  

   

  outstanding at any time and provide such information to Borrower promptly following such request; provided that any error in any such calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request, shall not relieve Borrower or any other Credit Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, nor result in any liability of Agent or any Lender.  Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Financing Agreements, that the interest payable under the Financing Agreements and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to Credit Parties, whether pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other Applicable Law or legal principle.

  (d)Criminal Code (Canada).  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 3 or any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as that term is defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined therein) lawfully permitted under Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).  

  (e)Agent Certificate.  A certificate of an authorized signing officer of Agent as to each amount and/or each rate of interest payable hereunder from time to time shall be conclusive evidence of such amount and of such rate, absent manifest error.

  (f)No deemed reinvestment principle/effective yield method.  For greater certainty, whenever any amount is payable under any Financing Agreement by Borrower as interest or as a fee which requires the calculation of an amount using a percentage per annum, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that such amount shall be calculated as of the date payment is due without application of the “deemed reinvestment principle” or the “effective yield method”.  As an example, when interest is calculated and payable monthly, the rate of interest payable per month is 1/12 of the stated rate of interest per annum.

  (g)Conversion/Continuation of CDOR Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans and Eurocurrency Rate Loans.  Each CDOR Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall automatically, at Agent’s option, either (i) convert to, in the case of a CDOR Rate Loan, Canadian Prime Rate Loans or in the case of a Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, U.S. Base Rate Loans, respectively, upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (ii) be rolled over for a further one (1) month Interest Period, unless Agent has received and approved a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to continue such CDOR Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan for an Interest Period chosen by Borrower at least four (4) Eurocurrency Banking Days prior to such last day with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, five (5) Business Days prior to such last day with respect to CDOR Rate Loans and three (3) SOFR Business Days prior to such last day with respect to Term SOFR Loans, each in accordance with the terms hereof.  Each CDOR Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall, at Agent’s option, upon notice by Agent to Borrower, be subsequently converted to Canadian Prime Rate Loans (in the case of a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars) and U.S. Base Rate Loans (in all other cases), respectively, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which is continuing and otherwise upon the Maturity Date, which in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be deemed to be a selection by the Borrower 

  64

  152032952_12

  

   

  that such Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall automatically be converted to a U.S. Base Rate Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable Alternate Currency) at the end of such Interest Period.  

  (h)Requests for Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans.  

  (i)Borrower may from time to time request in writing Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or may request in writing that Canadian Prime Rate Loans and U.S. Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) be converted to CDOR Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans in the same Currency pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or that any existing Eurocurrency Rate Loan, CDOR Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan continue for an additional Interest Period pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation.  Notices of Borrowing and Notices of Conversion/Continuation received after 12:00 noon (New York time) on any day shall be deemed to have been made as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day, SOFR Business Day or Eurocurrency Banking Day, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swingline Loan may not be converted to a CDOR Rate Loan, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Term SOFR Loan. 

  (ii)Each Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as applicable, from Borrower shall specify:

  (A)whether such Loan is to be a Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan and the amount of the Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan, as applicable;

  (B)the date (which day shall be a Business Day) of borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be;

  (C)the Alternate Currency of the Revolving Loan (if applicable) provided that the consent of all Revolving Lenders shall be required for a Revolving Loan in an Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars and Euros;

  (D)the Type of Revolving Loan;

  (E)the amount of the Canadian Prime Rate Loan or U.S. Base Rate Loan to be converted to CDOR Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans (if applicable);

  (F)the amount of the CDOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan to be continued (if applicable); and 

  (G)the Interest Period to be applicable to such Revolving Loan (if applicable).  

  If the Borrower requests a borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of, a CDOR Rate Loan, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Term SOFR Loan, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  If the Borrower fails to specify the Currency of a Loan in a Notice of Borrowing, then the 

  65

  152032952_12

  

   

  applicable Loans shall be made in U.S. Dollars.  If the Borrower fails to specify a type of Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars in a Notice of Borrowing, then the applicable Loans shall be made as a Term SOFR Loan in the case of a Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars and a CDOR Rate Loan in the case of Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars.  

  (iii)Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, after receipt by Agent of such a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation from Borrower, such Revolving Loans shall be made, converted or continued, as applicable; provided, that:

  (A)a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a borrowing or continuation of, or conversion to, a Term SOFR Loan shall be submitted by Borrower to Agent at least three (3) SOFR Business Days prior to the date of such borrowing, conversion or continuation;

  (B)a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a borrowing or continuation of, or conversion to, CDOR Rate Loans shall be submitted by Borrower to Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such borrowing, conversion or continuation;

  (C)a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a borrowing or continuation of, or conversion to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be submitted by Borrower to Agent at least four (4) Eurocurrency Banking Days prior to the date of such borrowing, conversion or continuation;

  (D)a Notice of Borrowing with respect to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and U.S. Base Rate Loans shall be submitted by Borrower to Agent no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day upon which Borrower requires such Canadian Prime Rate Loan or U.S. Base Rate Loan to be advanced to Borrower and if such request is provided after 12:00 noon (New York time) on a Business Day then such Canadian Prime Rate Loan or U.S. Base Rate Loan shall be advanced on the next following Business Day;

  (E)any request by Borrower to Agent pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable;

  (F)no more than ten (10) Interest Periods (for all outstanding Loans) may be in effect at any one time;

  (G)the aggregate amount of Term SOFR Loans shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

  (H)the aggregate amount of CDOR Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than CDN$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of CDN$1,000,000 in excess thereof; 

  66

  152032952_12

  

   

  (I)the aggregate amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Euros shall be in an amount not less than EUR5,000,000 or an integral multiple of EUR1,000,000 in excess thereof 

  (J)the aggregate amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in an Alternate Currency (other than Euros) shall be in an amount agreed between Agent, Borrower, and the Revolving Lenders; and

  (K)the aggregate amount of Canadian Prime Rate Loans and U.S. Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in an amount not less than CDN$1,000,000 or an integral multiple of CDN$500,000 in excess thereof and $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,00 in excess thereof, respectively; and

  (L)the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans shall be in an amount not less than $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

  (iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent and Lenders shall not be required to purchase Canadian Dollar, Euro or U.S. Dollar deposits in the Canadian bankers’ acceptance, London, Euro, Canadian or other applicable interbank market to fund any Revolving Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Agent or Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund such Revolving Loans.  

  3.2Changed Circumstances 

  (a)Circumstances Affecting CDOR Rate, Term SOFR or Eurocurrency Rate Availability.  Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any CDOR Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, a request therefor, a conversion to or a continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that if the CDOR Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or a Eurocurrency Rate is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the CDOR Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR or such Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for the applicable Currency and the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed CDOR Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable, on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period, (ii) with respect to any CDOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits are not being offered in the applicable Currency to banks in the London or other applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Currency, amount or Interest Period of such CDOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that if the CDOR Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR or a Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, the CDOR Rate, the Adjusted 

  67

  152032952_12

  

   

  Term SOFR or such Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during the applicable Interest Period and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent, then, in each case, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower.  Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make CDOR Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, in each such Currency, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan in each such Currency (if applicable) to or continue any Loan as a CDOR Rate Loan, a Term SOFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable, in each such Currency, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected CDOR Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans or the affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (iv), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of CDOR Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans in each such affected Currency (to the extent of the affected CDOR Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, (I) in the case of any request for a borrowing of an affected Term SOFR Loan, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to U.S. Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein, (II) in the case of any request for borrowing of an affected CDOR Rate Loan, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (III) in the case of any request for a borrowing of an affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan in an Alternate Currency, then such request shall be ineffective and (B)(I) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into U.S. Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period, (II) any outstanding affected CDOR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Canadian Prime Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (III) any outstanding affected Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency other than Canadian Dollars, at the Borrower’s election, shall either  be converted into U.S. Base Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) at the end of the applicable Interest Period or  be prepaid in full at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if no election is made by the Borrower by the date that is the earlier of (x) three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice or (y) the last day of the current Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.3.

  (b)Laws Affecting CDOR Rate, Term SOFR or Eurocurrency 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 

  68

  hereunder to make or maintain any CDOR Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon any of the CDOR Rate, Term SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Agent and the Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders (each, an “Illegality Notice”).  Thereafter, until each affected Lender notifies the Agent and the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make CDOR Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, in the affected Currency or Currencies, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars to a Term SOFR Loan or any Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars to a CDOR Rate Loan or continue any Loan as a CDOR Rate Loan, a Term SOFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as applicable, in the affected Currency or Currencies shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Agent shall compute the U.S. Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “U.S. Base Rate”.  Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, (A) convert all Term SOFR Loans to U.S. Base Rate Loans, (B) convert all CDOR Rate Loans into Canadian Prime Rate Loans or (C) convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an affected Alternate Currency to U.S. Base Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Agent shall compute the U.S. Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “U.S. Base Rate”) on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such CDOR Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such CDOR Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, to such day.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.3.

  (c)Benchmark Replacement Setting.

  (i)Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.  No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.2(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

  (ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the 

  69

  152032952_12

  

   

  contrary herein or in any other Financing Agreement, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement.

  (iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(iv).  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.2(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 Financing Agreement, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.2(c).

  (iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Agreement, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Euribor or CDOR) 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 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 not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or 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 not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

  (v)Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of CDOR Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable Currency and, failing that, (I) in the case of any request for any affected Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to U.S. Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein, (II) in the case of any request for any affected CDOR Rate Loans, if applicable, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (III) in the case of any request for any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan, in each case, in an Alternate Currency, if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective and (B)(I) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, will be deemed 

  70

  152032952_12

  

   

  to have been converted into U.S. Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period, (II) any outstanding affected CDOR Rate Loans, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into Canadian Prime Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (III) any outstanding affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (1) be converted into U.S. Base Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (2) be prepaid in full at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section ‎3.3.  During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the U.S. Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of U.S. Base Rate.

  (d)Circumstances Affecting Alternate Currencies.  In the event that Agent shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) at any time that any Alternate Currency (other than Canadian Dollars and Euros) is not available in sufficient amounts, as determined in good faith by Agent, then Agent shall promptly give written notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders.  Thereafter, until Agent notifies in writing Borrower and Lenders that such circumstances no longer exist, the new Alternate Currency Loans denominated in the affected Alternate Currency (other than any such Alternate Currency Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be available and any Notice of Borrowing given by with respect to such Alternate Currency Loans which have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by Borrower.

  3.3Compensation for Breakage or Non‐Commencement of Interest Periods 

  The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss, cost or expense (including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds or from any fees payable) which may arise, be attributable to or result due to or as a consequence of (a) any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a CDOR Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) any failure of the Borrower to borrow or continue a CDOR Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or convert to a CDOR Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, (c)  any payment, prepayment or conversion of any CDOR Rate Loan, Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (d) the assignment of any CDOR Rate Loan, Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.6(b).  In the case of a CDOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan, 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 Pro 

  71

  152032952_12

  

   

  Rata Share of the CDOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the London or other applicable offshore interbank market for such Currency, whether or not such CDOR Rate Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded, 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 Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.  All of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 3.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Financing Agreement. 

  3.4Increased Costs 

  (a)If any Change in Law shall: 

  (i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the FRB for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D of the FRB, as amended and in effect from time to time)), 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 Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) or any Issuing Lender;

  (ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) 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 any Issuing Lender or the London, Euro, Canadian or other applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit Accommodations 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, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit Accommodations (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit Accommodations), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, Borrower shall within 30 days after receipt of the certificate referred to in clause (c) below, pay to any such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, 

  72

  152032952_12

  

   

  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 any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letter of Credit Accommodations or Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letter of Credit Accommodations issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, Borrower shall within 30 days after receipt of the certificate referred to in clause (c) below, pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

  (c)Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender, or an Issuing Lender or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  

  (d)Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or an Issuing Lender or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such 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 nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

  3.5Taxes

  (a)Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 3.5, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

  73

  152032952_12

  

   

  (b)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under this Agreement and any other documents entered into in connection herewith 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 Borrower 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 Borrower.  Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

  (d)Indemnification by Borrower.  Borrower shall 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 Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

  (e)Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other documents entered into in connection herewith, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Financing Agreement or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender under this Agreement or any other documents entered into in connection herewith from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this clause (e). 

  (f)Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority 

  74

  152032952_12

  

   

  evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to 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 this Agreement or any other documents entered into in connection herewith shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or 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 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 subclause (i) of this clause (g), each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-9, as may be applicable, together with any attachments, if required to establish that such Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding taxes.

  (iii)Without limiting the generality of subclause (i) of this clause (g), if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any other documents entered into in connection herewith would be subject to Tax under 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 Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and 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 Section 3.5(g), “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, 

  75

  152032952_12

  

   

  it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and 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 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), 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 clause (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 clause (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (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 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement or any other documents entered into in connection herewith.

  3.6Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

  (a)Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) requests compensation under Section 3.2 or Section 3.4, or requires 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 3.5, then such Lender shall, at the request of 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 3.4 or Section 3.5, 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.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

  76

  152032952_12

  

   

  (b)Replacement of Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any Increased-Cost Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.6(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender (and such Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.1), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 3.5) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Financing Agreement to an Eligible Transferee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

  (i)the assignee (or failing which, Borrower) shall have paid to Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.1;

  (ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in Letter of Credit Accommodations and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements (including any amounts under Section 3.3) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

  (iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.2 or Section 3.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5, 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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any such Lender and the termination of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided any rights of such Lender to indemnification and to expense reimbursement hereunder shall survive as to such Lender.  Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender and its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to an assignee pursuant to this Section 3.6(b), it shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to evidence such assignment; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to 

  77

  152032952_12

  

   

  execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall not render such assignment invalid.

  (c)Selection of Lending Office.  Subject to Section 3.6(a), each Lender may make any Loan to Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise alter the rights of the parties hereto.

  3.7Commitment Fee

  (a)Borrower shall pay to Agent a commitment fee at the Applicable Margin for commitment fees, in each case calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed and upon the amount by which the then applicable Revolving Loan Commitment exceeds the sum of (i) the average daily principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans and (ii) the average daily face amount of the Letter of Credit Accommodations during the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter (or part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding, which commitment fee shall be payable on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter in arrears.  For further clarity, no Obligations will be outstanding once this Agreement has been terminated and all non-contingent Obligations have been fully satisfied and cash collateral (or a backstop letter of credit) has been provided in the full amount then outstanding of any Letter of Credit Accommodations, if any.  This commitment fee shall not be payable to a Lender during the period it is a Defaulting Lender.   

  3.8Defaulting Lenders.  

  (a)Defaulting Lender Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

  (i)Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 10 or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.12 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Agreement and (B) cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letter of Credit 

  78

  152032952_12

  

   

  Accommodations issued under this Agreement, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letter of Credit Accommodations or Swingline Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letter of Credit Accommodations or Swingline Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letter of Credit Accommodations or Swingline Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letter of Credit Accommodations or Swingline Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Accommodations and Swingline Loans are held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments under the applicable Revolving Loan Facility without giving effect to Section 3.8(a)(iii).  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 3.8(a)(i) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

  (ii)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 fees pursuant to Section 2.2(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letter of Credit Accommodations for which it has provided cash collateral.

  (C)With respect to any commitment fee or letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Accommodations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) below, (2) pay to the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s or the Swingline 

  79

  152032952_12

  

   

  Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

  (iii)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Accommodations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Loan Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment.  Subject to Section 13.9, 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.

  (iv)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (iii) 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 Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender.

  (b)Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Accommodations and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Commitments (without giving effect to Section 3.8(a)(iii)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-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.

  Article 5
COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION

  5.1Borrower’s Loan Account

  Agent shall maintain one or more loan account(s) on its books in which shall be recorded: (a) all Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations and other Obligations and the Collateral; (b) all payments made by or on behalf of Borrower; and (c) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including fees, charges, costs, expenses and interest.  All entries in the loan account(s) shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary practices as in effect from time to time.  The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender or the Issuing Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations made by the Lenders or the Issuing Lender to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries 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 Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans 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.

   In addition to the accounts and records referred to in the prior paragraph, each Revolving Lender and the Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Lender of participations in Letter of Credit Accommodations and Swingline Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

  5.2Statements

  Borrower may from time to time request and Agent shall promptly provide to Borrower, within a reasonable period of time following such request, statements setting forth the balance in the Borrower’s loan accounts maintained by the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including principal and interest amounts and accrued and unpaid fees.

  5.3Payments

  (a)All Obligations (other than obligations, liabilities and indebtedness in connection with any Secured Hedge Agreement (which shall be paid in accordance with the terms thereof)) shall be payable to Agent as it may designate from time to time.  

  (b)Agent shall apply payments received or collected from Credit Parties or for the account of Credit Parties (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) as follows:

  (i)first, ratably, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to Agent and Lenders from Credit Parties;

  84

  152032952_12

  

   

  (ii)second, to pay interest then due in respect of any Loans;

  (iii)third, to pay principal then due in respect of the Loans and outstanding obligations due under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements; and

  (iv)fourth, to pay the outstanding Loans and cash collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Accommodations, Secured Hedge Agreements, and Secured Cash Management Agreements and after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to pay or pre-pay such of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and manner as Agent determines.

  (c)Notwithstanding clause (b) above, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank, as the case may be.  Each Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of Agent pursuant to the terms of Article 11 for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

  (d)Payments and collections received in any currency other than Canadian Dollars, Euros and U.S. Dollars will be accepted and/or applied at the sole discretion of Agent.  At Agent’s option, and to the extent such amounts are overdue, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in the Financing Agreements, the Secured Hedge Agreements or the Secured Cash Management Agreements may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of Borrower.  Subject to Section 3.5 and except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, Borrower shall make all payments to Agent on the Obligations free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any set-off, counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind.  If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, Agent or any Lender is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent.  Borrower shall be liable to pay to Agent and each Lender, and does hereby indemnify and hold Agent and each Lender harmless for, the amount of any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned.  This Section 5.3 shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds.  The indemnification in the second preceding sentence shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

  85

  152032952_12

  

   

  5.4Authorization to Make Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations

  Each Lender is authorized to make the Loans and provide the Letter of Credit Accommodations based upon written instructions received by Agent from the persons authorized by Borrower as notified in writing by Borrower to Agent from time to time or, at the discretion of Lenders, if such Loans are necessary to satisfy any Obligations that are overdue.  All Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations under this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, Borrower when deposited to the credit of Borrower or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of Borrower or in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

  5.5Use of Proceeds

  Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans provided by Lenders to Borrower hereunder to (a) pay costs, expenses and fees in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Financing Agreements and (b) finance ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the financing of permitted acquisitions and other permitted investments, permitted stock buybacks and dividends. 

  5.6Pro Rata Treatment

  Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, (a) the making and conversion of Revolving Loans shall be made by Revolving Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares as to the Revolving Loans and (b) each payment on account of any Obligations to or for the account of one or more of Lenders or their respective Affiliates in respect of any Obligations due on a particular day shall be allocated among the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, entitled to such payments based on their respective Pro Rata Shares and shall be distributed accordingly by Agent.

  5.7Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights

  The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or commitment of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and subject to Section 11.13(f) hereof, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

  Article 6
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

  Each Credit Party hereby represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender the following (which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement):

  86

  152032952_12

  

   

  6.1Existence, Power and Authority; Subsidiaries; Solvency

  Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof (a) is a Person duly incorporated or organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and (b) is duly qualified or registered as a foreign or extra-provincial corporation in all provinces, states or other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification necessary, except in each case referred to in clause (a) (other than with respect to each Credit Party) and clause (b) to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder (a) are all within each Credit Party’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ corporate or other powers, (b) have been duly authorized, and (c) are not in contravention of law or the terms of its certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which it is a party or by which it or its property are bound except, in each case, with respect to any contravention of any such law, indenture, agreement or undertaking, to the extent that such contravention could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Financing Agreements constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Credit Party which is a party thereto enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, examinorship, receivership, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.  As of the Restatement Effective Date, each Credit Party does not have any Subsidiaries except as set forth on the corporate structure chart attached as Schedule 6.1.  Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, on a consolidated basis, are Solvent.  No Credit Party is an Affected Financial Institution.

  6.2Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change

  The audited consolidated financial statements relating to Borrower most recently delivered by Borrower to Agent pursuant to Section 7.6(a)(ii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and fairly present in all material respects its financial condition and the results of its operation as at the dates and for the periods set forth therein, except as otherwise expressly noted therein.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements relating to Borrower most recently delivered by Borrower to Agent pursuant to Section 7.6(a)(i) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as expressly noted therein, and fairly present in all material respects its financial condition and the results of its operation as at the dates and for the periods set forth therein, subject in each case to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments.  The projections relating to Borrower most recently delivered by Borrower to Agent pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 7.6(a)(iv) were prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation and delivery (it being understood that such projections may vary from actual results and that such variances may be material).  Since December 31, 2021, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that, solely with respect to determining whether a Material Adverse Effect under clause (a) of the definition of Material Adverse Effect has occurred or could reasonably be expected to occur during the Designated Period, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that have been disclosed in writing to the Agent and the Lenders prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date shall be disregarded.

   

  87

  152032952_12

  

   

  6.3Chief Executive Office; Collateral Locations

  As of the Restatement Effective Date, (a) the chief executive office of each Credit Party is located in the jurisdiction set forth on its Information Certificate and (b) the only locations of Collateral with a value in excess of $1,500,000 of any of the Credit Parties (other than vehicles and assets temporarily in transit or sent for repair), if any, are the addresses set forth in its Information Certificate.

Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof has good and marketable title in fee simple (or local law equivalent) to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary in the ordinary conduct of its business, free and clear of all Liens except for minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business thereon or to utilize such assets for their intended purposes and Permitted Liens.  Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof owns or possesses rights to use all material franchises, licenses, copyrights, copyright applications, patents, patent rights or licenses, patent applications, trademarks, trademark rights, service mark, service mark rights, trade names, trade name rights, copyrights and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “IP Rights”) with respect to the foregoing which are necessary to conduct its business, as currently conducted, except to the extent such failure to own or possess, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The conduct of the business of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted does not infringe upon or violate any IP Rights held by any other Person except for such infringements and violations which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  

  6.5Tax Returns

  Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed, or caused to be filed, in a timely manner (with extensions) all Tax returns, reports and declarations which are required to be filed by it (except those in respect of Taxes the calculation or payment of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and available to it and except for those returns for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect).  All information in such Tax returns, reports and declarations is complete and accurate in all material respects.  Borrower and its Subsidiaries have paid or caused to be paid all Taxes due and payable or claimed due and payable in any assessment received by it, except Taxes (a) the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings

  diligently pursued and available to it and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside on its books or (b) for which the failure to pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  Adequate provision has been made by Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the payment of all accrued and unpaid Taxes whether or not yet due and payable and whether or not disputed.  

  6.6Litigation

  Except as disclosed in Borrower’s Form 10-K, to its knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or claim by any Person pending or threatened in writing against any Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof or its assets or business, which in each of the foregoing cases, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

  6.7Compliance with Applicable Laws; Approvals

  Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof is in compliance in all respects with all Applicable Laws, licenses, permits, approvals and orders of any Governmental Authority except in such instances in which (a) such Applicable Law or license, permit, approval or order is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the lack of compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of the Financing Agreements to which it is a party do not and will not (a) require any governmental approval where the failure to obtain such approval could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) require any consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act in respect of, a Governmental Authority and no consent of any other Person is required in connection with such execution, delivery and performance other than (x) consents, authorizations, filings or other acts or consents for which the failure to obtain or make could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (y) consents, authorizations, filings or other acts or consents which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect and (z) notices and filings made in connection with the security interests granted under the Financing Agreements.

  89

  152032952_12

  (b)All obligations of each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof (including fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) required to be performed in connection with the Pension Plans or the funding agreements therefor have been performed in a timely fashion.  There are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets held pursuant to any such funding agreement.

  (c)All contributions or premiums required to be made by any Credit Party and any Subsidiary thereof to the Pension Plans have been made in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of the Pension Plans and Applicable Laws.

Each Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and, to the best of each Credit Party’s knowledge, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such qualification where such loss, when combined with other such occurrences or failures to comply, has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Credit Party and its ERISA Affiliates have made all required contributions to any Plan subject to Section 412

  90

  152032952_12

  (b)Without limiting the foregoing and subject to Section 10.2(c) hereof, upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, upon notice to Borrower by Agent, Agent shall (at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders): (i) accelerate the payment of all outstanding Obligations (other than Obligations in connection with Secured Hedge Agreements which may be terminated in accordance with their own terms) (provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(j), all such outstanding Obligations shall automatically become due and payable without notice to Borrower or demand by Agent) and demand immediate payment thereof to Agent; (ii) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral and carry on the business of any Credit Party; (iii) require each Credit Party, at such Credit Party’s expense, to assemble and make available to Agent any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Agent; (iv) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, set-off and realize upon any and all Collateral; (v) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose; (vi) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, at any office of Agent or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Agent may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with Agent having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of any Credit Party, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by each Credit Party; (vii) without limiting clause (vi), grant a general, special or other license in respect of any aspect of the Collateral on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis to any person throughout the world or any part of it and on such terms and on such conditions as Agent may consider appropriate; (viii) enforce against any licensee or other person all rights and remedies of each Credit Party with respect to all or any part of the Collateral, and take or refrain from taking any action that any Credit Party might take with respect to any of those rights and remedies, and for this purpose Agent shall have the exclusive right to enforce or refrain from enforcing those rights and remedies, and may in the name of any Credit Party and at its expense retain and instruct counsel and initiate any court or other proceeding that Agent considers necessary or expedient; (ix) take any step necessary to preserve, maintain or insure the whole or any part of the Collateral or to realize upon any of it or to put it in vendable condition, and any amount paid as a result of any taking any such steps shall be a cost the payment of which is secured by the Financing Agreements; (x) borrow money and use the Collateral directly 

  125

  152032952_12

  

   

  or indirectly in carrying on any Credit Party’s business or as security for loans or advances for any such purposes; (xi) require each Credit Party to immediately begin using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents and to provide all notices which may be required to permit Agent to assign any agreement or contract; (xii) grant extensions of time and other indulgences, take and give up security, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges, and otherwise deal with any Credit Party, debtors of any Credit Party, sureties and others as Agent may see fit without prejudice to the liability of any Credit Party or Agent’s right to hold and realize the security interest created under any Financing Agreement; and/or (xiii) terminate this Agreement.  If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Agent upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Agent.  If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by Agent to Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and each Credit Party waives any other notice.  In the event Agent institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, each Credit Party waives the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required.

  (c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.2:

  (i)for the duration of the IP Grace Period, Agent shall not be permitted to enforce its security interest against the IP Collateral, or to exercise its rights under Section 10.2(b) with respect to the IP Collateral hereof except as permitted pursuant to the IP Collateral License Agreement;

  (ii)for the duration of the IP Grace Period, Borrower shall be permitted to use the IMAX name to carry on business;

  (iii)upon the commencement of the IP Grace Period, Agent shall have, pursuant to the IP Collateral License Agreement, a royalty-free, freely assignable perpetual license to use the IP Collateral required to enable Agent to perform the obligations of Borrower under any contract or agreement;

  (iv)upon the commencement of the IP Grace Period, Agent may sell, transfer, assign and/or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, other than the IP Collateral, to any transferee or assignee in accordance with the terms of the Financing Agreements; and

  (v)subsequent to the expiry of the IP Grace Period, provided that an Event of Default is then continuing, Agent may sell, transfer, assign and/or otherwise dispose of any of the IP Collateral up to a maximum amount equal to the outstanding Obligations together with all costs, charges and expenses incurred by Agent as a result of enforcing against the IP Collateral and Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent (and any officer or agent thereof) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and authorizes Agent (and any officer or agent thereof) to effect the foregoing.

  126

  152032952_12

  

   

  (d)Agent may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by Agent from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 5.3(b).

  (e)[Reserved].

  (f)Without limiting the foregoing, (1) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(j), automatically, Agent shall (at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders), and (2) upon the occurrence and continuation of any other Event of Default, upon notice to Borrower by Agent, Agent shall (at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders), (i) cease making Loans or arranging Letter of Credit Accommodations, (ii) terminate any provision of this Agreement providing for any future Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations to be made by Lenders to Borrower and/or (iii) appoint, remove and reappoint any person or persons, including an employee or agent of Agent or a Lender to be a receiver (the “Receiver”) which term shall include a receiver and manager of, or agent for, all or any part of the Collateral (and such Receiver shall have all of the powers and rights of Agent described in this Section 10.2 and Agent may, either directly or through its agents or nominees, exercise any or all powers and rights of a Receiver).

  (g)[Reserved].

  (h)Where Agent realizes upon any of the Collateral, and in particular upon any of the IP Collateral, to the extent permitted or not prohibited by any agreements relating to such IP Collateral, each Credit Party shall provide without charge its know-how and expertise relating to the use and application of the Collateral, and in particular shall instruct Agent, and any purchaser of the Collateral designated by Agent, concerning any IP Collateral including any confidential information or trade secrets of such Credit Party.  For greater certainty, the parties agree that unless such confidential information or trade secrets form part of the Collateral being realized upon, such confidential information or trade secrets shall be provided for use only subject to any agreement regarding the confidentiality thereof or for the protection thereof as may be reasonably requested by a Credit Party.

  (i)[Reserved].

  (j)Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent (and any officer or agent thereof) as such Credit Party’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes Agent, in such Credit Party’s or Agent’s name, to: (a) at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) demand payment on Accounts or other proceeds of the Collateral, (ii) enforce payment of Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, (iii) exercise all of such Credit Party’s rights and remedies to collect any Account or other Collateral, (iv) sell or assign any Account upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as Agent deems advisable, (v) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew an Account, (vi) discharge and release any Account, (vii) prepare, file and sign such Credit Party’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against an account debtor, (viii) notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Credit Party’s mail to an address designated by Agent, and open and 

  127

  152032952_12

  

   

  dispose of all mail addressed to such Credit Party, (ix) do all acts and things which are necessary, in Agent’s determination, to fulfill such Credit Party’s obligations under the Financing Agreements, (x) have access to any lockbox or postal box into which such Credit Party’s mail is deposited, (xi) endorse such Credit Party’s name upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, or similar document or agreement relating to any Account or any goods pertaining thereto or any other Collateral, (xii) sign such Credit Party’s name on any verification of Accounts and notices thereof to account debtors, (xiii) endorse such Credit Party’s name upon any items of payment or proceeds thereof and deposit the same in Agent’s account for application to the Obligations; and (xiv) take control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds thereof; and (b) at any time, to execute in such Credit Party’s name and file any PPSA, UCC or other financing statements or amendments thereto in respect of the security interests granted to Agent pursuant to any of the Financing Agreements if such Credit Party has not done so within two (2) days from Agent’s request.  Neither Agent nor its officers, employees and agents shall be responsible to any Credit Party from any act or acts under this power of attorney and in furtherance thereof, whether of omission or commission, except as a result of Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of its officers, employees or agents, in each case, as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

  (k)Agent may, at any time or times that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its option: (a) cure any default by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof under any agreement with a third party or pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof; (b) discharge taxes and Liens at any time levied on or existing with respect to the Collateral; and (c) pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which, in Agent’s good faith judgment, is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain the Collateral and the rights of Agent with respect thereto.  Agent may add any amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge Borrower’s account therefor, such amounts to be repayable by each Credit Party on demand.  Agent shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof.  Any payment made or other action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed accordingly.

  10.3Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Insolvency Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Accommodation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on any Credit Party) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

  (a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Accommodations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Agent and their 

  128

  152032952_12

  

   

  respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Agent under Sections 2.2(b), 3.7, 12.5 and 12.6) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

  (e)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

  and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.2(b), 3.7, 12.5 and 12.6.

  10.4Credit Bidding.

  (a)The Agent, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties, shall have the right, exercisable at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid and purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties all or any portion of Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by the Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof, or a sale under a plan of reorganization, or at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by the Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with Applicable Law.  Such credit bid or purchase may be completed through one or more acquisition vehicles formed by the Agent to make such credit bid or purchase and, in connection therewith, the Agent is authorized, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles, and assign the applicable Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle in exchange for Equity Interests and/or debt issued by the applicable acquisition vehicle (which shall be deemed to be held for the ratable account of the applicable Secured Parties on the basis of the Obligations so assigned by each Secured Party); provided that any actions by the Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 11.14.

  (f)Each Lender hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates that is a Secured Party, that, except as otherwise provided in any Financing Agreement or with the written consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate obligations under any of the Financing Agreements or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.

  Article 11
ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS: APPOINTMENT OF AGENT

  11.1Assignment and Participations

  (a)Subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.1, any Lender may make an assignment or a sale of participations in, at any time or times, the Financing Agreements, any Loans and any Commitment or any portion thereof or interest therein, 

  129

  152032952_12

  

   

  including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder.  Any assignment by a Lender shall:

  (i)be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 with respect to Revolving Loans and $1,000,000 with respect to Incremental Term Loans;  

  (ii)require the consent of Agent, Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and Borrower; provided that:

  (A)such consent is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; 

  (B)the consent of Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall not be required with respect to assignments of Incremental Term Loans;

  (C)the consent of Borrower shall not be required if:

  (1)	a Payment/Insolvency Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

  (2)	such assignment is to an Eligible Transferee; or 

  (3)	Borrower does not object to such assignment within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of notice of such assignment;

  (iii)not be to a Prohibited Transferee;

  (iv)be effected by the execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement;

  (v)be conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and Agent that it is purchasing the Loans to be assigned to it for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and

  (vi)include a payment from such assignee to Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500.

  In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 11.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all other Lenders hereunder.  The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitment or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender” hereunder.  In all instances, each Lender’s liability to make Loans hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment.  In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Obligations, such Lender shall provide prior notice to Borrower and Borrower shall, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, execute new notes in exchange for the notes, if any, being assigned.  Borrower agrees from time to time to execute notes (in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, acting reasonably) evidencing the Loans if requested by Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1(a), 

  130

  152032952_12

  

   

  any Lender may at any time pledge the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements to a Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank of Canada or the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or foreign equivalent; provided, that no such pledge shall release such Lender from such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

  (b)Any sale of a participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitment or Loans shall be made with the understanding that all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation, and that the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of the scheduled amortization of the principal amount of any Loan in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements).  Neither Agent nor any Lender (other than a Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely with Lenders selling a participation as if no such sale had occurred.  No consent of Borrower, Agent or Issuing Lender is required with respect to the sale of a participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitment or Loans; provided that each Lender shall provide Agent and Borrower with prior written notice of each sale of a participation.  No sale of a participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitment or Loans shall be made to a Prohibited Transferee.

  (c)Each Credit Party shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 11.1 as reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be requested, the preparation of informational materials for, and the participation of management in meetings with, potential assignees or participants.  Each Credit Party shall certify the correctness, completeness and accuracy of all descriptions of it and its respective affairs contained in any selling materials provided by it and all other information provided by it and included in such materials.

  (d)A Lender may furnish any information concerning a Credit Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), in each case, other than to any Prohibited Transferee, provided such Persons agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with Section 7.11(b).

  (e)No Credit Party may assign its rights under the Financing Agreements and any other document referred to herein or therein without the prior written consent of Agent and all Lenders.

  (f)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 

  131

  152032952_12

  

   

  conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the 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 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 Letter of Credit Accommodations and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.  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.

  (g)The 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 register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments 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 Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and 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.

  (h)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 Financing Agreements (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 Financing Agreement) 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) or proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version).  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 

  132

  152032952_12

  

   

  Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

  11.2Appointment of Agent

  (a)Agent is hereby appointed to act on behalf of Secured Parties as Agent under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.  Except as expressly provided in Section 11.11(a), the provisions of this Section 11.2 and Sections 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6, 11.7, 11.8, 11.9, 11.10, 11.11, 11.13, 11.15 and 11.16 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and neither any Credit Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof.  In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, Agent shall act solely as an agent of Secured Parties and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party or any Person other than Secured Parties.  Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.  The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreement or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Secured Party.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity.  Neither Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on them from a court of competent jurisdiction.

  (b)If Agent shall request instructions from all Lenders, all affected Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, then Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from all Lenders, all affected Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.  Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement (i) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, be contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement; (ii) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, expose Agent to liabilities under Environmental Laws; or (iii) if Agent in good faith believes such action would expose it to personal liability unless such Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from Lenders and Issuing Lender with respect to such action.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement 

  133

  152032952_12

  

   

  in accordance with the instructions of all Lenders, all affected Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be.

  11.3Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

  Agent: (i) may treat the payee of any note as the holder thereof until Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements on the part of any Credit Party or to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) of any Credit Party; (v) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

  11.4Agent as Lender

  With respect to its Commitment and Loans hereunder, Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” hereunder shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Agent in its individual capacity.  Agent and its affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party, any of its affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Credit Party or any such affiliate, all as if Agent were not Agent and without any duty to account therefore to Secured Parties.  Agent and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Secured Parties.  Each Secured Party acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between Agent as a Lender and Agent as agent hereunder.

  11.5Lender Credit Decision

  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of each Credit Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.  Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Commitment and the Loans, and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Financing Agreements set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (b) it is engaged in making, acquiring, purchasing or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement and 

  134

  152032952_12

  

   

  the other Financing Agreements to which it is a party as a Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring, purchasing and/or holding the commercial loans set forth herein as may be applicable to it, and not for the purpose of making, acquiring, purchasing or holding any other type of financial instrument and (c) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire, purchase or hold the commercial loans applicable to it and either it or the Person exercising discretion in making its decisions to make, acquire, purchase or hold such commercial loans is experienced in making, acquiring, purchasing or holding commercial loans.

  11.6Indemnification

  Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Credit Parties and without limiting the obligations of Credit Parties hereunder), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Agent of a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share according to its Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Financing Agreement, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Credit Parties.

  11.7Failure to Act

  Except for action expressly required of Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Agreements, Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 11.6 hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action or if any such action may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Insolvency Law.

  11.8Concerning the Collateral and the Related Financing Agreements

  Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.  Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon Lenders.

  11.9Reports and other Information; Disclaimer by Lenders.

  By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

  135

  152032952_12

  

   

  (a)is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, within a reasonable time after it becomes available to Agent, a copy of each report, Compliance Certificate and/or other documentation (each such report, certificate or documentation being referred to herein as a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) provided to Agent by Credit Parties pursuant to the Financing Agreements;

  (b)expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent (i) does not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; and

  (c)agrees to keep all Reports confidential in accordance with Section 7.11(b).

  11.10Collateral Matters

  (a)Lenders (including in its or any of its Affiliate’s capacities as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably authorize Agent at its option and in its discretion to release any Lien upon any of the Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all of the non-contingent Obligations and delivery of cash collateral to the extent required under Section 2.3(a); or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if such sale or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement); or (iii) constituting property in which applicable Credit Party did not own an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) if required under the terms of any of the other Financing Agreements, including any intercreditor agreement; or (v) approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 11.14 hereof.  Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to subordinate its Lien upon the specific Collateral on which another Person has a Lien as permitted under Section 8.2 and if such Person will not permit Agent to retain its Lien on such Collateral, Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to release its Lien upon such Collateral.  Except as provided above, Agent will not release any Lien upon any of the Collateral without the prior written authorization required in accordance with Section 11.14 hereof.  In addition, each Lender (including in its or any of its Affiliate’s capacities as a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent at its option and in its discretion to release or terminate any Control Agreements entered into pursuant to Section 7.14(b) as contemplated by Section 7.14(c) without any further consent or action by such Lender or any of its Affiliates.

  (b)Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by applicable Lenders, each Lender, as applicable, agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon Agent under this Agreement.  Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent upon any Collateral or to evidence the release of such Credit Party from its Obligations under the Financing Agreements in each case in accordance with the terms of the Financing Agreements and this Section 11.10; provided, that, such release shall not in 

  136

  152032952_12

  

   

  any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Credit Party in respect of) the Collateral retained by such Credit Party.

  (c)Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Liens granted to Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Financing Agreements or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender.

  (d)Each Lender hereunder (i) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) authorizes and instructs Agent, to the extent required by the terms of the Financing Agreements, to enter into any Intercreditor Agreements contemplated by this Agreement as Agent on behalf of such Lender.  Each Lender hereby further agrees that (i) Agent may, from time to time, without any further consent of any Lender, enter into any Intercreditor Agreement, any subordination agreement or other intercreditor agreement contemplated by this Agreement with the collateral agent or other representatives of the holders of Debt that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral under this Agreement, in each case, in order to effect the relative priority of Liens on the Collateral and to provide for certain additional rights, obligations and limitations in respect of, any Liens permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be pari passu with or junior or senior to the Liens securing the Obligations with respect to part or all of the Collateral, which are, in each case, incurred in accordance with this Agreement, and to establish certain relative rights as between the holders of the Obligations and the holders of the Debt secured by such Liens, and (ii) such Intercreditor Agreements and any other subordination agreement or intercreditor agreement referred to in the foregoing clause (i) entered into by Agent shall be binding on the Secured Parties.

  11.11Successor Agent and Resignation of Swingline Lender

  (a)Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower.  If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders and the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower, the Lenders and such Person, remove such Person as Agent.  Upon any such resignation or removal, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent.  If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving 

  137

  152032952_12

  

   

  notice of resignation or the date of the applicable notice of removal, then the resigning or removed Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution or other entity whose business includes making commercial loans, in each case, is organized under the laws of Canada, the United States or any province or state thereof and has total assets in excess of $1,000,000,000, or the foreign currency equivalent thereof.  If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, within 30 days after the date such notice of resignation or removal was given, such resignation or removal shall become effective and Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.  Any successor Agent appointed by Required Lenders hereunder shall be subject to the approval of Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that such approval shall not be required if a Payment/Insolvency Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Agent.  Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning Agent’s resignation or the removed Agent’s removal (as the case may be), the resigning or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning or removed Agent shall continue.  After any resigning or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.

  (b)Any Swingline Lender may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to Agent, Lenders and Borrower.  After the resignation of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the retiring Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Loans.

  11.12Setoff and Sharing of Payments

  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and subject to Section 11.13(f), each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to Borrower or to any other Person other than Agent, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to setoff and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of any Credit Party (regardless of whether such balances are then due to any Credit Party) and any other properties or assets (other than deposits in fiduciary accounts as to which a Credit Party is acting as fiduciary for another Person who is not a Credit Party and other than payroll or trust fund accounts) at any time held or owing by that Lender or any such Affiliates to or for the credit or for the account of any Credit Party against and on account of any of the Obligations that are 

  138

  152032952_12

  

   

  not paid when due; provided, that Lenders and their respective Affiliates exercising such setoff rights shall give notice thereof to such Credit Party promptly after exercising such rights; provided further that in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any Affiliate thereof shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender or its Affiliate shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates as to which such right of setoff was exercised.  Except in the case of  (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), or (B) the application of cash collateral provided for herein, any Lender or any of its Affiliates exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so setoff or otherwise received with the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.  Each Credit Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to setoff with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such amounts so setoff to the other Lenders; and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in a Loan made or other Obligations held by the other Lenders may exercise all rights of setoff, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender was a direct holder of the Loan and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the setoff amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from a Lender or any of its Affiliates that have exercised the right of setoff, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

  11.13Advances; Payments; Information; Actions in Concert

  (a)Advances; Payments.

  (i)In each funding notice provided by Agent to a Lender hereunder, Agent shall provide such Lender with written confirmation (by telephone, telecopy or email (if such Lender has provided email notice coordinates to Agent)) that all conditions precedent hereunder to such funding have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof.

  (ii)Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Loan available to Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to Agent’s account not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) (or promptly thereafter) on the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day).  Swingline Lender shall make the amount of the requested Swingline Loan available to Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to Agent’s account not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) (or promptly thereafter) on the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day).  After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in Agent’s sole discretion, before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof, Agent shall make the requested Loan to Borrower.  All payments by each Lender shall be made without 

  139

  152032952_12

  

   

  setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.  Revolving Loans to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by Revolving Lenders as provided in Section 2.1(c).

  (iii)On the fifth (5th) Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter or more frequently at Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, telecopy or email (if such Lender has provided email notice coordinates to Agent) of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan.  Provided that each Lender has funded all payments and Loans required to be made by it and purchased all participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements as of such Settlement Date, Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and fees paid by Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the portion of the Loans held by it.  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 3.8(a)(i).  Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s account not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day following each Settlement Date. Each payment to Agent on account of the principal of or interest on the Swingline Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to Swingline Lender shall be made in like manner, but for the account of Swingline Lender.

  (b)Availability of Lender’s Pro Rata Share.  Agent may assume that each Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Loan available to Agent on each funding date (which must be a Business Day).  If such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.  If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to Agent.  Nothing in this Section 11.13(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that a Credit Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.  To the extent that Agent advances funds to Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefore on the same Business Day as such Loan is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

  (c)Return of Payments.

  (i)If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from Borrower and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

  140

  152032952_12

  

   

  (ii)If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any Insolvency Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender.  In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

  (d)[Reserved].

  (e)Dissemination of Information.  Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with (i) any notice of any Event of Default received by Agent from, or delivered by Agent to, Borrower, (ii) notice of any Event of Default of which Agent has actually become aware, (iii) notice of any action taken by Agent following any Event of Default and (iv) any notice received from any Credit Party pursuant to Section 7.6(b); provided, that Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Agent from a court of competent jurisdiction.

  (f)Actions in Concert.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with Agent and each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements (excluding exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and all other Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent, all Lenders, affected Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be.

  (c)Notwithstanding Section 11.14(a), no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent in addition to Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements.

  (e)No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 5.3 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Financing Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement 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 Financing Agreements.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 11 to the contrary, Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements.

  (f)Notwithstanding Section 11.14(a), no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Swingline Lender in addition to Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of Swingline Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements.

  11.15Erroneous Payments

  (a)Each Lender and the Issuing Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Lender that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Lender from the 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)  (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the 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 Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) 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 recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the 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.  A notice of the Agent to any Lender or Issuing Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

  143

  152032952_12

  

   

  (b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender and the Issuing Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the 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 Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, 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), in each case, an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment) with respect to 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 recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the 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.  Each Lender and the Issuing Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the 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 Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

  (c)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

  (d)Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Financing Agreement.

  11.16Rates. 

  The Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the CDOR Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or any other Benchmark, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it 

  144

  152032952_12

  

   

  may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the CDOR Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes.  The Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of a Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to the Borrower.  The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

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 FINANCING AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION.

  (f)Waiver of Consequential Damages.  Each Credit Party hereby waives any claims for special, punitive, exemplary, indirect or consequential damages in respect of any breach or alleged breach by Agent or any Lender of any of the terms of this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Agent or Lender from a court of competent jurisdiction.

  146

  152032952_12

  

   

  whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein.  No notice to or demand on any Credit Party which Agent may elect to give shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

  12.3Amendments and Waivers

  Subject to Section 11.14, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be amended or waived, nor consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom permitted, orally or by course of conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of each applicable Lender (if any) and Agent, and as to amendments, as also signed by an authorized officer of each Credit Party.  Agent shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Agent.  Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein.  A waiver by Agent of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

  12.4Waiver of Counterclaim

  Each Credit Party waives all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other than compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto.

  12.5Indemnification

  Each Credit Party shall indemnify and hold Arranger, Agent, Issuing Lender and each Lender, and their respective directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees and counsel (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”), harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened related to (x) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto or the relationship between any Credit Party, on one hand, and an Indemnitee, on the other hand or (y) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, including amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and others incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any such litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding (but limited, in the case of such fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel, to the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, expenses and disbursements of one primary counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, a single outside local and a single outside specialty counsel in each other jurisdiction material to the interests of all Indemnitees taken as a whole for all Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs Borrower of such conflict, one additional primary counsel for all Indemnitees subject to such conflict taken as a whole)).  Such indemnification described in clauses (x) and (y) above shall not apply to losses, claims, damages, 

  147

  152032952_12

  

   

  liabilities, costs or expenses (i) resulting from the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) relating to disputes among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by Credit Parties, (iii) resulting from a material breach of an Indemnitee’s obligations to a Credit Party hereunder as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (iv) resulting from settlements of any such litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding effected by the Indemnitees without the prior written consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that if such claim or action is settled with the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final judgement by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such actions, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with this Section; provided that any indemnification obligations owed by Credit Parties hereunder and not otherwise related to the foregoing settlement shall nonetheless remain an obligation of Credit Parties.  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.5 may be unenforceable because it violates any Applicable Law, each Credit Party shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under Applicable Law to each Indemnitee in satisfaction of indemnified matters under this Section 12.5.  This Section 12.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.  The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

   

  12.6Costs and Expenses

  Upon demand by Agent, each Credit Party agrees within ten (10) days of receipt of a reasonably detailed written invoice therefor (or such longer period as Agent may agree), to pay to Arranger, Agent, Issuing Lender and Lenders all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and filing fees paid or payable in connection with the structuring, arrangement, syndication, preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recording, administration, collection, liquidation, restructuring, enforcement and defense of the Obligations, Agent’s and each Lender’s rights in the Collateral, the Financing Agreements and all other documents related hereto or thereto, including any amendments, supplements or consents which may hereafter be contemplated (whether or not executed) or entered into in respect hereof and thereof, including: (a) all costs and expenses of filing or recording or searching (including PPSA and UCC financing statement and other similar filing and recording fees, if applicable); (b) reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of remitting loan proceeds and other items of payment, together with Agent’s customary, reasonable out-of-pocket charges and fees with respect thereto; (c) reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral; (d) reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection with obtaining payment of the Obligations, enforcing the security interests and liens of Agent, selling or otherwise realizing upon the Collateral, and otherwise enforcing the provisions of the Financing Agreements or defending any claims made or threatened against Agent and Lenders arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including preparations for and consultations concerning any such matters); (e) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses including due diligence, negotiation, arrangement, syndication, restructuring, administration and amending of this Agreement; and (f) the fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel (including legal assistants) to Arranger, Agent, Issuing Lender, and Lenders in connection with any of the foregoing (but limited, in the case of such fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel, to the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, expenses and disbursements of one primary counsel for Arranger, Agent, Issuing Lender and Lenders, taken as a whole (and, if reasonably determined by Agent to be necessary, a single outside local and a single outside special counsel in each jurisdiction material to the interests of 

  148

  152032952_12

  

   

  all such Persons taken as a whole for all such Persons taken as a whole and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where such Person affected by such conflict informs Borrower of such conflict, one additional primary counsel for all such Persons subject to such conflict taken as a whole)) and counsel otherwise retained with Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

  13.7Counterparts and Facsimile; Electronic Execution

  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

  13.8Patriot Act Notice

  Agent and each Lender which is subject to the Patriot Act or any other Anti-Money Laundering Laws hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act or such other Anti-Money Laundering Laws, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or corporation who opens an account and/or enters into a business relationship with it, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and other information that will allow Agent and such Lender to identify such person in accordance with the Patriot Act and any other Applicable Law.  Each Credit Party is hereby advised that any Loans or Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder are subject to satisfactory results of such verification.

  13.9Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Financing Agreement 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 Financing Agreement, 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 Financing Agreement; or

  152

  152032952_12

  

   

  (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.

  13.10Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. 

   To the extent that the Financing Agreements 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 Financing Agreements 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 Financing Agreements 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 Financing Agreements 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.  

  (c)As used in this Section 13.10, 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).

  153

  152032952_12

  

   

  “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

  “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

  13.11Divisions.  For all purposes under the Financing Agreements, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

  13.12Certain 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 Agent, the 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 Letter of Credit Accommodations or the Commitments or this Agreement; 

  (ii)the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letter of Credit Accommodations, the Commitments and this Agreement;

  (iii)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letter of Credit Accommodations, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letter of Credit Accommodations, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 

  154

  152032952_12

  

   

  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 Letter of Credit Accommodations, the Commitments and this Agreement; or 

  (iv)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the 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 Agent, the 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 Agent, the 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 Letter of Credit Accommodations, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any Financing Agreement or any documents related hereto or thereto).

DESCRIPTION
OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES

REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

 

Streamline
Health Solutions, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) has authority to issue
70,000,000 shares of all classes of stock, consisting of 65,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common
Stock”), and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The following
summary describes the Common Stock of the Company, which is the only class of securities of the Company registered pursuant to Section
12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The
following description is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to
(i) our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through May 24, 2021 (as so amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”),
and (ii) our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended and restated through March 28, 2014 (as so amended, the “Bylaws”), each
of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.2 is a part. We encourage
you to read our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”),
for additional information.

 

Common
Stock

 

Voting.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share for the election of directors and on all other matters that require stockholder
approval, subject in all cases to the rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock, if any. Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative
voting rights.

 

Our
Bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of all of the shares of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of our
capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of
the stockholders, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of an applicable law, our Certificate of Incorporation
or our Bylaws a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
Our Bylaws provide that, when a quorum is present at a meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected, directors are elected
by a plurality of the votes of the shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote
on the election of directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66
2/3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote upon the election of directors shall be required to effect: (1) an amendment
to the Certificate of Incorporation, (2) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale or transfer
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity; or (3) the removal of a member of the Board of Directors.

 

Dividends
and Other Distributions. Subject to the rights of holders of any then outstanding shares of our Preferred Stock, our holders of Common
Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors from funds legally available
therefor. We do not currently pay cash dividends on our Common Stock, and we currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in
our business. Any future determination as to the declaration of dividends on our Common Stock will be made at the discretion of the Board
of Directors and will depend on our earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant
by the Board of Directors, including the applicable requirements of the DGCL, which provides that dividends are payable only out of surplus
or net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. The payment of dividends on our
Common Stock may be restricted by the provisions of credit agreements or other financing documents that we may enter into or the terms
of securities that we may issue from time to time.

 

    	 

     

    

 

Merger,
Consolidation or Sale of Assets. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock, if any, holders of our Common
Stock shall be entitled to receive all cash, securities and other property received by us pro rata on the basis of the number of shares
of Common Stock held by each of them in any of the following situations: (1) our merger or consolidation with or into another corporation
in which we do not survive, (2) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets to another entity or (3) a merger or consolidation
in which we are the surviving entity but the Common Stock shall be exchanged for stock, securities or property of another entity.

 

Distribution
on Dissolution. After payment or provision for all liabilities, and subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding Preferred
Stock, if any, in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive a portion
of the remaining funds to be distributed. Such funds shall be paid to the holders of our Common Stock pro rata on the basis of the number
of shares of Common Stock held by each of them.

 

Other
Rights. The shares of our Common Stock are not subject to any redemption provisions and are not convertible. Holders of our Common
Stock do not have any preemptive rights enabling such holders to purchase, subscribe for or receive shares of any class of our Common
Stock or any other securities convertible into shares of any class of our Common Stock or any redemption rights. Holders of Common Stock
have no sinking fund rights.

 

All
outstanding shares of our Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. All shares of Common Stock have equal rights and preferences.

 

The
rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, those of the holders
of Preferred Stock, and will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of our Preferred Stock that we may issue in the future.
As of April 28, 2022, we had no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

Listing

 

Our
Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “STRM.”

 

Transfer
Agent and Registrar

 

The
transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Computershare Inc., 250 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021.

 

Delaware
Anti-Takeover Law and Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Delaware
Anti-Takeover Law. We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from
engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date
of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

	 	●	prior
    to the date of such business combination, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the
    transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

    	 

     

    

 

	 	●	upon
    consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder
    owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes
    of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers of the corporation
    and (b) shares issued under employee stock plans under which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially
    whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
	 	 	 
	 	●	on
    or subsequent to the date of such business combination, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation
    and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66
    2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

Section
203 defines a business combination to include:

 

	 	●	any
    merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder or any merger or consolidation involving the corporation
    and another entity that is caused by the interested stockholder;
	 	 	 
	 	●	any
    sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the
    assets of the corporation;
	 	 	 
	 	●	subject
    to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the
    interested stockholder;
	 	 	 
	 	●	any
    transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of its stock owned by the interested
    stockholder; or
	 	 	 
	 	●	any
    receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided
    by or through the corporation.

 

In
general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting
stock of the corporation and any affiliate or associate of such entity or person.

 

Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may delay or discourage transactions
involving an actual or potential change in our control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might
otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock. Among other things, our Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws:

 

	 	●	permit
    our Board of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with such designations, powers, preferences and rights
    as our Board of Directors may authorize (including the right to approve an acquisition or other change in control);
	 	 	 
	 	●	provide
    that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by the Board of Directors;
	 	 	 
	 	●	provide
    that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative
    vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum; and

 

	 	●	do
    not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock entitled to
    vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose).

 

The
amendment or repeal of any of these provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation would require approval of holders of not less than
66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote upon the election of directors. Our Bylaws may be amended by an affirmative
vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.
