Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth under Item 2.03 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 27, 2024, SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Battea – Class Action Services, LLC, on the terms described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 12, 2024 (the “Acquisition”). A copy of the Company’s press release dated September 30, 2024 announcing the completion of the Acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On September 27, 2024, SS&C Technologies, Inc. (“SS&C Tech”) entered into the Incremental Joinder to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amends its existing amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of April 16, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among SS&C Tech, the Company, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as the administrative agent, certain lenders party thereto and the other entities from time to time party thereto. Pursuant to the Amendment, SS&C Tech borrowed $800 million in aggregate principal amount of incremental term A-9 loans (the “Term A-9 Loans”). The net proceeds of the Term A-9 Loans were used to finance in part SS&C Tech’s acquisition of Battea – Class Action Services, LLC, the payment of fees and expenses related thereto and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Term A-9 Loans will mature on the earlier to occur of (1) September 27, 2029 (the “Term A-9 Maturity Date”) and (2) 91 days prior to the maturity of (x) the March 2019 Senior Notes (as defined under the Credit Agreement) if more than $150 million aggregate principal amount remains outstanding on the 91st day prior to such maturity or (y) the Revolving Facility (as defined under the Credit Agreement) if more than $150 million aggregate principal amount of commitments remain outstanding on the 91st day prior to such maturity, whichever of (x) or (y) comes first. The Term A-9 Loans will bear interest, at SS&C Tech’s option, at the Base Rate plus 0.50% per annum, or at the Term SOFR Rate plus 1.50% per annum, in each case with two leverage-based step-ups that increases the interest rate margin by 0.25% per annum if the Company’s consolidated net secured leverage ratio is greater than 3.50x and 4.25x, respectively, and one leverage-based step-down that reduces the interest rate margin by 0.125% per annum if the Company’s consolidated net secured leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.50x. The Term A-9 Loans will amortize (in each case, payable in equal quarterly installments) at a rate of 2.5% per annum for the first eight fiscal quarters (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2024) and 5.0% per annum for each quarter thereafter until the Term A-9 Maturity Date, upon which date the outstanding principal amount of the Term A-9 Loans will be due. The Term A-9 Loans will be subject to a 5.25x consolidated net secured leverage ratio maintenance financial covenant commencing at the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2024, which will, at the option of the Borrower, increase to 5.75x for four consecutive fiscal quarters following a material permitted acquisition, and otherwise subject to terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The representations and warranties, covenants and other terms of the Term A-9 Loans are substantially consistent with the terms of the Term B-8 Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

A copy of the Company’s press release dated September 30, 2024 announcing the completion of the Acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

“Unrestricted Subsidiary” means (a) any Subsidiary of the Company designated by the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 7.17 subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date and (b) each Subsidiary formed or acquired by an existing Unrestricted Subsidiary previously designated by the Company as provided in preceding clause (a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in no circumstances shall any Borrower be an Unrestricted Subsidiary and (ii) no Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary under the March 2019 Senior Notes or the 2024 Senior Notes is permitted to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary hereunder.

“U.S. Collateral Document” means any Collateral Document (and including, for the avoidance of doubt, the U.S. Security Agreement and any Collateral Document providing for a pledge by a Domestic Loan Party of up to 65% of the voting Equity Interests and/or CPECs entitled to vote in (and 100% of the non-voting Equity Interests and non-voting CPECs) in (or promissory notes evidencing loans to) any First Tier Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Holdco).

For purposes of clarification, Indebtedness which by its terms is convertible into Equity Interests is not “Voting Stock”.

“Weighted Average Life to Maturity” means, when applied to any Indebtedness at any date, the number of years obtained by dividing: (a) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the amount of each then remaining installment, sinking fund, serial maturity or other required payments of principal, including payment at final maturity, in respect thereof, by (ii) the number

of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth) that will elapse between such date and the making of such payment; by (b) the then outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness.

1.02

Other Interpretive Provisions. With reference to this Agreement and each other Loan Document, unless otherwise specified herein or in such other Loan Document:

(a)

The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.

(c)

Section headings herein and in the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

1.03

Accounting Terms. Generally. Except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein, all accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that calculations of Attributable Indebtedness under any Synthetic Lease or the implied interest component of any Synthetic Lease shall be made by the Company in accordance with accepted financial practice and consistent with the terms of such Synthetic Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Loan Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.

(a)

Changes in GAAP. Except to the extent disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.01, the Company will provide a written summary of material changes in GAAP applicable to it and in the consistent application thereof with each annual and quarterly Compliance Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 7.02(b). If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Company or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agents, the Lenders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (which agreement shall be subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide to the Administrative Agents and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever in this Agreement it is necessary to determine whether a lease is a Capital Lease or an operating lease, such determination shall be made on the basis of GAAP as in effect on the Restatement Effective Date.

(b)

Calculations of Financial Covenants; Pro Forma Basis. Notwithstanding the above, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that:

(i)

all calculations of (x) the financial covenantcovenants in Section 8.11 for purposes of determining compliance with Section 8.11 as a “financial maintenance covenant” (as opposed to testing the permissibility of a specified transaction hereunder) and (y) the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining the Applicable Rate, shall in each case be made on a Pro Forma Basis with respect to (i) all Dispositions of all of the Equity Interests of, or all or a substantial portion of the assets of,

a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) all Dispositions of a line of business or division of any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary, (iii) all Permitted Acquisitions and other acquisitions permitted hereunder, and (iv) any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (or of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary), in each case, occurring during the applicable period; and

(ii)

for purposes of determining if a specified transaction is permitted by this Agreement, all calculations of the financial covenantcovenants in Section 8.11 (irrespective of whether such covenant is otherwise then applicable) and of the Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio, of the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio Test and of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis with respect to (i) all Dispositions of all of the Equity Interests of, or all or a substantial portion of the assets of, a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) all Dispositions of a line of business, division of any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary, or any Immaterial Subsidiary, (iii) all Permitted Acquisitions, (iv) all incurrences of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 8.03(f), (v) all increases in the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.01(f), (vi) all Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 8.06(g) and (h), (vii) all designations of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (or of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary) and (viii) all payments, prepayments, redemptions, acquisitions for value, refunds, refinancings or exchanges of Subordinated Debt pursuant to Section 8.06(b)(iv), in each case, occurring during the applicable period and occurring after the end of the applicable period but on or prior to the date of the applicable specified transaction.

1.04

Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

1.05

Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

(a)

The Applicable Administrative Agent or the Applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent or the Applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable.

(b)

Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a SONIA Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Loan, SONIA Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant

100

Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent or the Applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be.

1.06

Additional Alternative Currencies.

(a)

The Company may from time to time request that Revolving Loans constituting Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and each Lender that would be obligated to make Credit Extensions denominated in such requested currency; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Applicable L/C Issuer.

(b)

Any such request shall be made to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., 15 Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Applicable L/C Issuer, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Loans, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable L/C Issuer. Each Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Loans) or the Applicable L/C Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c)

Any failure by a Lender or the Applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or the Applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and all the Lenders that would be obligated to make Credit Extensions denominated in such requested currency consent to making Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Loans in such requested currency, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Loans; and if the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Applicable L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain the requisite consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.06, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Company.

101

1.07

Change of Currency.

(a)

Each obligation of any Loan Party to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Restatement Effective Date shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(b)

Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agents may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(c)

Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agents may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

1.08

Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

1.09

Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

1.10

Guaranty and Security Principles. The Collateral Documents and each other guarantee and security document delivered or to be delivered under this Agreement and any obligation to enter into such document or obligation by any Loan Party which is not a Domestic Loan Party shall be subject in all respects to the Guaranty and Security Principles set forth in Exhibit 1.10.

1.11

Certain Calculations.

(a)

For purposes of determining compliance at any time with Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.05 and 8.06, in the event that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment or Disposition or portion thereof, as applicable, at any time meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions or items permitted pursuant to any clause of such

102

Sections 8.01 (other than Sections 8.01(a) and (t)), 8.02, 8.03 (other than Section 8.03(a) (in the case of Indebtedness incurred on the Incremental B-8 Amendment)), 8.05, and/or 8.06 (each of the foregoing, a “Reclassifiable Item”), the Parent, in its sole discretion, may, from time to time, divide, classify or reclassify such Reclassifiable Item (or portion thereof) under one or more clauses of each such Section and will only be required to include such Reclassifiable Item (or portion thereof) in any one category; provided that, upon delivery of any financial statements pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b) following the initial incurrence or making of any such Reclassifiable Item, if such Reclassifiable Item could, based on such financial statements, have been incurred or made in reliance on Section 8.03(z) (in the case of Indebtedness and Liens) or any “ratio-based” basket or exception (in the case of all other Reclassifiable Items), such Reclassifiable Item shall automatically be reclassified as having been incurred or made under the applicable provisions of Section 8.03(z) or such “ratio-based” basket or exception, as applicable (in each case, subject to any other applicable provision of Section 8.03(z) or such “ratio-based” basket or exception, as applicable). It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition and/or Affiliate transaction need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition and/or Affiliate transaction under Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.05 or 8.06, respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof or under any other available exception.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Parent otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent, with respect to any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement (other than a non-concurrent borrowing under the Revolving Facility) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including ‎Section 8.11 hereof and any leverage ratio test) (any such amount, including any concurrent drawing under the Revolving Facility, and any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets, Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA, a “Fixed Amount”) substantially concurrently with any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including ‎Section 8.11 hereof and any leverage ratio test) (any such amount, an “Incurrence-Based Amount”), it is understood and agreed that (i) the incurrence of the Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated first without giving effect to any Fixed Amount but giving full pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of such Fixed Amount and the related transactions and (ii) the incurrence of the Fixed Amount shall be calculated thereafter. Unless it elects otherwise, the Parent shall be deemed to have used amounts under an Incurrence-Based Amount then available to the Parent prior to utilization of any amount under a Fixed Amount then available to the Parent. In calculating any Incurrence Based Amount, any amounts concurrently incurred under the Revolving Facility shall not be given effect.

1.12

Limited Condition Acquisitions.

(a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document:

(b)

With respect to any Limited Condition Acquisition only (i), (A) any requirement in the definition of Permitted Acquisition or in Section 8.02(e) or (r) or Section 8.03(z) that no Default exists or would result from any event or specified transaction, (B) any calculation of Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio, as applicable, for the purposes of the definition of Incremental Cap and (C) any leverage ratio test specified in Section 8.02(dd) or in the definition of Incremental Cap

103

shall, in each case, at the election of the Company, be determined as of the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into and (ii) the representations and warranties required to be made pursuant to the definition of Permitted Acquisition shall, at the election of the Company, be limited to the Specified Representations.

(c)

If the Company has made an election under clause (b)(i) of this Section 1.12 for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, Dispositions, Investments, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Subordinated Debt, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant date of determination and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated except (solely in the case of any ratio or basket with respect to the making of Restricted Payments or the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Subordinated Debt) to the extent such calculation on a Pro Forma Basis would result in a lower ratio or increased basket availability (as applicable) than if calculated without giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions in connection therewith.

1.13

Additional Borrowers.

(a)

From time to time (in the case of the Term B-3 Facility or the Term B-4 Facility, on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date and, in the case of the Revolving Facility, prior to, on or after the Restatement Effective Date), and with five Business Days’ notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agents may agree), the Company may designate any wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Domestic Subsidiary as a “Co-Borrower” (each such person, a “Co-Borrower”) with respect to any Class of Loans or Facility. Such designation shall be subject to the Applicable Administrative Agent’s consent and “know your customer” procedures and compliance with anti-money laundering rules and regulations reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders; provided, that any such Co-Borrowers do not result in (i) any incremental withholding tax to the Lenders or (ii) any loss of guarantee or Collateral by the Loan Parties. If any Lender has determined that it is not legally permitted to lend to or establish credit for the account of a Co-Borrower that is not organized in the United States, such Lender will not be obligated to extend credit to such Co-Borrower; provided that such Lender shall continue to have the obligation to provide the relevant commitments to the Company. Each Co-Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary shall (i) be a joint and several co-borrower of the Company and (ii) either (x) become a Guarantor of all of the Obligations by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement or such other documents as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate for such purpose and upon the reasonable request of the Applicable Administrative Agent, deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent a signed copy of a customary opinion of counsel for such Co-Borrower, addressed to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Lenders or (y) enter into waivers of defenses to suretyship substantially consistent with those contained in the Guaranty.

104

(b)

Once a person has become a Co-Borrower in accordance with Section 1.13(a), it (i) shall be a “Borrower” in respect of the applicable Class and will have the right to request Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit or Term Loans, as the case may be, in accordance with Article II hereof until the applicable Maturity Date for such Class, as applicable, or on the date on which such Co-Borrower resigns as a Co-Borrower in accordance with Section 1.13(c) and (ii) shall be deemed a Borrower for all purposes of Article II of this Agreement with respect to Loans made to such Co-Borrower, unless the context requires otherwise.

(c)

Each Co-Borrower hereby designates the Company as its borrower representative (the “Borrower Representative”). The Borrower Representative will be acting as agent on each Co-Borrower’s behalf for the purposes of issuing notices of Borrowing and notices of conversion/continuation of any Loans pursuant to Article II or similar notices, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants and certifications) on behalf of any Co-Borrower under the Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Each Co-Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Co-Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Co-Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Co-Borrower.

(d)

In respect of a Loan or Loans to a particular Co-Borrower (“Designated Loans”), a Lender (a “Designating Lender”) may at any time and from time to time designate (by written notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower): (i) a substitute lending office from which it will make Designated Loans (a “Substitute Facility Office”); or (ii) nominate an Affiliate to act as the Lender of Designated Loans (a “Substitute Affiliate Lender”). A notice to nominate a Substitute Affiliate Lender must be in the form set out in Exhibit 1.13(d) and be countersigned by the relevant Substitute Affiliate Lender confirming it will be bound as a Lender under this Agreement in respect of the Designated Loans in respect of which it acts as Lender. The Designating Lender will act as the representative of any Substitute Affiliate Lender it nominates for all administrative purposes under this Agreement. The Borrower, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the other Loan Parties will be entitled to deal only with the Designating Lender, except that payments will be made in respect of Designated Loans to the lending office of the Substitute Affiliate Lender. In particular the Loans, Commitments and Total Revolving Outstandings of the Designating Lender will not be treated as reduced by the introduction of the Substitute Affiliate Lender for voting purposes under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and the Substitute Affiliate Lender will be treated as having no Loans, Commitments or Total Revolving Outstandings for voting purposes. Save as mentioned in the immediately preceding sentence, a Substitute Affiliate Lender will be treated as a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents and having a Loan, Commitment or Total Revolving Outstandings equal to the principal amount of all Designated Loans in which it is participating if and for so long as it continues to be a Substitute Affiliate Lender under this Agreement. A Designating Lender may revoke its designation of an Affiliate as a Substitute Affiliate Lender by notice in writing to the Applicable Administrative Agent and provided that such notice may only take effect when there are no Designated Loans outstanding to the Substitute Affiliate Lender. Upon such Substitute Affiliate Lender ceasing to be a Substitute Affiliate Lender the Designating Lender will automatically assume (and be deemed to assume without further action by any party) all rights and

105

obligations previously vested in the Substitute Affiliate Lender. If a Designating Lender designates a Substitute Facility Office or Substitute Affiliate Lender in accordance with this clause: (i) any Substitute Affiliate Lender shall be treated for the purposes of Section 3.05 as having become a Lender on the Restatement Effective Date; and (ii) the provisions of Section 11.06 shall not apply to or in respect of any Substitute Facility Office or Substitute Affiliate Lender.

1.14

Designated U.S. Co-Borrower. The Designated U.S. Co-Borrower shall (i) not hold any assets, (ii) be formed and maintained as a disregarded entity for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code and, in the case of the following clauses (iii) through (vi), unless otherwise determined by the Parent, (iii) provide in its organizational documents that membership interests can be issued in exchange for the performance of services or the promise to perform services, (iv) be subject to customary restrictions on the transfer of membership interests, including the approval of any non-transferring members, (v) liquidate on the death or bankruptcy of any of its members, and (vi) be permitted to make distributions at the sole discretion of the member. The Designated U.S. Co-Borrower shall be a joint and several co-borrower of the other Designated Borrowers.

1.15

Rates. The Administrative Agents do not warrant or accept 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 Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate, SONIA or any component definition of any of the foregoing, or rates referred to in the definition of any of the foregoing, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate to any of the foregoing (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate, SONIA or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agents and their affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate, SONIA, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Loan Parties. The Administrative Agents may select information sources or services in their reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate, SONIA, or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Loan Party, 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.

1.16

Administrative Agent and Revolving Facility Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) all references to the Administrative Agent herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be construed to refer to (i) CS in its capacity as the collateral agent and in regard to matters relating to the Facilities and (ii) MSSF in its capacity as the Term Facilities Administrative Agent in regard to matters relating to the Term Loan Facility, (b)(i) all references to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall be construed to refer to MSSF in its capacity as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in regard to matters relating to the Revolving

(xiii)

the Incremental Term Loans shall rank (A) if incurred by the Company, pari passu in right of payment with the Term Loans (other than the 2017 Refinancing Term B-2 Loans, the Term B-4 Loans and any Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans incurred by any Designated Borrower with respect thereto) and the Liens securing such Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu with the Liens securing the Term Facilities (other than the 2017 Refinancing Term B-2 Loans, the Term B-4 Loans and any Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans incurred by any Designated Borrower with respect thereto) and (B) if incurred by a Designated Borrower, pari passu in right of payment with the Term B-2 Loans, the 2017 Refinancing Term B-2 Loans, the Term B-4 Loans and any Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans incurred by any Designated Borrower with respect thereto and the Liens securing such Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu with the Liens securing the 2017 Refinancing Term B-2 Loans, the Term B-4 Loans and any Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans incurred by any Designated Borrower with respect thereto;

no Incremental Term Loan (other than Incremental Term Loans made to any Designated Borrower) or increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments may be guaranteed by any Person other than a Domestic Loan Party, or secured by any asset that does not constitute Collateral securing only the Direct U.S. Loan Party Obligations;

(xv)

[reserved];

(xvi)

no Incremental Term Loans (other than with the proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) (x) incurred by a Designated Borrower may be optionally or mandatorily prepaid prior to the date on which all Refinancing Term B-2 Loans, Term B-4 Loans and all other Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans incurred by a Designated Borrower, in each case with an earlier final stated maturity are repaid in full, unless such optional or mandatory prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional or mandatory prepayment of such other Classes of Term Loans and (y) not described in preceding clause (x) may be optionally or mandatorily prepaid prior to the date on which all such Term Loans with an earlier final stated maturity are repaid in full, unless such optional or mandatory prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional or mandatory prepayment of such other Classes of Term Loans; and

111

(xvii)

any Incremental Term Loan that is implemented by increasing the amount of then-existing Term Loans of any Class (rather than by implementing a new Class of Term Loans) shall have identical terms to such then-existing Class of Term Loans.

(g)

Special Obligations in Connection with Increases in Aggregate Revolving Commitments and Existing Term Loans. Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Loan, (A) the Applicable Percentages of the Revolving Lenders shall be automatically adjusted to give effect to such increase, provided that the amount of each Lender’s Revolving Commitments (other than a Lender whose Revolving Commitments shall have been increased in connection with such increase) shall remain unchanged and (B) the Company, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Lenders will use all commercially reasonable efforts to assign and assume outstanding Revolving Loans of the affected category to conform the respective amounts thereof held by each Revolving Lender to the Applicable Percentages as so adjusted, it being understood that the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid prepayment or assignment of any affected Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Revolving Commitment added pursuant to any Incremental Revolving Loan shall be deemed a part of the Revolving Facility for all purposes under this Agreement. On the date of the making of any Incremental Term Loans that will be added to any then-existing Class of Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.02 or 2.08, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the same Type and with the same Interest Period (if applicable) of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionally in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of the same Type and with the same Interest Period (if applicable) of the applicable Class.

(h)

Incremental Amendments. If any amendment to this Agreement is required to give effect to the borrowing of any (A) Incremental Revolving Loan or Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.01, (B) amendments to any provisions hereunder as set forth in the Incremental Joinder that would require the consent of the Required Lenders, (C) amendments to any provisions hereunder as set forth in the Incremental Joinder that would only affect the Term B-3 Facility or the Term B-4 Facility or (D) amendments that would apply equally to all tranches and Classes of Loans or Commitments as set forth in the Incremental Joinder, such amendment shall be effective if executed by the Loan Parties, each Lender providing an Incremental Term Loan Commitment or an increase to the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the Applicable Administrative Agent (each such amendment is a “Commitment Increase Amendment”) and each Lender hereby expressly authorizes the Applicable Administrative Agent to enter into such Commitment Increase Amendment or Incremental Joinder.

(i)

Limited Condition Acquisitions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 2.01(f), (g) or (h) or any other provision of any Loan Document:

(i)

If the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans are intended to be applied to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, (A) the requirements of clauses (ii) and (xii) of Section 2.01(f) above shall, at the election of the Company, be determined as of the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into, (B) the representations and warranties required to be made pursuant to clause (iii) of Section

112

2.01(f) above shall, at the election of the Company, be limited to the Specified Representations and (C) to the extent that such Incremental Term Loans are to be incurred in reliance on clause (i)(y) of Section 2.01(f) above, the Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio test, as applicable, specified therein shall, at the election of the Company, be determined as of the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into.

(ii)

If the Company has made an election under clause (i)(C) of this Section 2.01(i) for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, Dispositions, Investments, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Subordinated Debt, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant date of determination and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (i) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (ii) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have not been consummated.

Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans under a given Facility from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Applicable Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of,

114

conversion to or continuation of, SOFR Loans or of any conversion of SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (or, in the case of any notice of any Borrowing of Term Loans to be incurred on the Restatement Effective Date not later than 9:00 a.m. on the requested date of such Borrowing), (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, (iii) five Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of SONIA Loans, and (iv) (A) one Business Day (or such later time as the Applicable Administrative Agent may agree to) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (B) in the case of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans that constitute Base Rate Loans (other than a Borrowing of Revolving Loans on the Restatement Effective Date) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed $20,000,000 (taken together with all other outstanding Borrowings of Revolving Loans extended on a same-day basis), on the requested date of such Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (or such later time as may be agreed by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent). Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Applicable Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SONIA Loans or SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of Alternative Currencies) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of Alternative Currencies) in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted and the applicable Facility and Class to which such Loans belong, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, and (vi) in the case of any Revolving Loans, the currency of the Loans to be borrowed. If the Company fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing of any Revolving Loans, then the Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars.

Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans. If the Company requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

115

(b)

Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount (and, in the case of Revolving Loans, currency) of its Applicable Percentage under the applicable Facility of the applicable Loans, and, in the case of Revolving Loans, if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Company, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall notify each Appropriate Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to SOFR Loans or continuation of Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars or Sterling, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Applicable Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Applicable Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Applicable Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Company or (in the case of the 2017 Refinancing Term B-2 Loans and the Term B-4 Loans) the applicable Designated Borrower, as directed by the Company in like funds as received by the Applicable Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Applicable Administrative Agent by the Company; provided, however, that if, on the date of a Borrowing by the Company of Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, shall be made available to the Company as provided above.

(c)

Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or SOFR Loan, as applicable, unless the relevant Borrower pays the amount due under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans denominated in Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as SOFR Loans having Interest Periods greater than one month without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding SOFR Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.

(d)

The Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders of any change in the Applicable Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the announcement of such change.

(e)

After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans under a given Facility from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans under a given Facility as the same Type, there shall not be more than 10 Interest Periods in the aggregate at any time with respect to all Loans under all Facilities.

(f)

Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that the exercise of such option

116

shall not affect in any manner the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(a)

The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i)

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Restatement Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies for the account of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that, to the extent that any such Subsidiary is not a Domestic Loan Party, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed an Investment in such Subsidiary and shall only be issued so long as it is permitted under Section 8.02), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below; provided that no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue any Letters of Credit other than standby Letters of Credit and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations of any L/C Issuer shall not exceed such L/C Issuer’s Applicable L/C Sublimit. Each request by the Company for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Company that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii)

No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)

subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

(B)

the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders that have Revolving Commitments have approved such expiry date.

(iii)

No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

117

(A)

any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Restatement Effective Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B)

the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C)

except as otherwise agreed by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;

(D)

except as otherwise agreed by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency;

(E)

such L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested Letter of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency;

(F)

such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(G)

any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its reasonable discretion) with the Company or such Revolving Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iv)

[Reserved].

(v)

Each L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

118

(vi)

Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agents in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agents” as used in Article X included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

(b)

Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i)

Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the Applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Applicable L/C Issuer and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the Applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the Applicable L/C Issuer and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Applicable L/C Issuer or the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii)

Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Company and, if not, the Applicable L/C Issuer will provide the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not be satisfied, then, subject to the terms

119

and conditions hereof, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Applicable L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii)

If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Applicable L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the Applicable L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Applicable L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each case directing the Applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv)

Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Company and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c)

Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i)

Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Company and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the Applicable L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified the Applicable L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such

120

reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. If the Company is notified prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the Applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, then no later than 1:00 p.m. on such Business Day or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (or if notified after such time, then no later than 11:00 a.m. on the next succeeding Business Day or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the Applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency) (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer through the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Company fails to so reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any notice given by the Applicable L/C Issuer or the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii)

Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage multiplied by the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan in the form of a Base Rate Loan to the Company in such amount. The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars.

(iii)

With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the Applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans; provided that if such L/C Borrowing is not

121

reimbursed by the Company when due in accordance with this clause (c), then Section 2.08(b)(i) shall apply. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv)

Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer.

(v)

Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Applicable L/C Issuer, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the Company of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the Applicable L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)

If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Applicable L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Applicable L/C Issuer 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 included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the Applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)

Repayment of Participations.

122

(i)

At any time after the Applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent), the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent.

(ii)

If any payment received by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Applicable L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for the account of the Applicable L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)

Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i)

any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(ii)

the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii)

any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)

any payment by the Applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,

123

assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any payment arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v)

any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi)

any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary.

The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will immediately notify the Applicable L/C Issuer. The Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f)

Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against the Applicable L/C Issuer, and the Applicable L/C Issuer may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by the Applicable L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) or the Applicable L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Applicable L/C Issuer shall not be responsible

124

for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g)

Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Applicable L/C Issuer and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(h)

Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and maintained as SOFR Loans times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Applicable L/C Issuer for its own account (except to the extent that the Company has provided Cash Collateral with respect to all or a portion of such Letter of Credit, in which case the balance of such fee (or the applicable portion thereof, as applicable) shall not be payable). For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and maintained as SOFR Loans during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and maintained as SOFR Loans separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i)

Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Company shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, at the rate per annum of 0.125%, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such Letter of Credit fronting fee shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. In addition, the Company shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to Letters of Credit issued

125

by such L/C Issuer as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j)

Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(k)

Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the Applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(l)

Provisions Related to Additional Revolving Credit Facilities. If the Letter of Credit Expiration Date in respect of the Revolving Facility occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then, at the Company’s option, (i) if one or more Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and/or Refinancing Revolving Commitments in respect of which the expiration date applicable to Letters of Credit issued thereunder shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall, to the extent such Letters of Credit could have been issued under such other Class or Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and/or Refinancing Revolving Commitments (as applicable) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at such time, automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the applicable Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Loans and L/C Advances in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.03(c) and (d)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Commitments in respect of such non‑terminating Class or Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and/or Refinancing Revolving Commitments (as applicable) up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Company shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.14(a). Commencing with the Maturity Date of the Revolving Facility, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed solely with each L/C Issuer.

2.04

[Reserved].

Optional Prepayments.

(i)

130

hereunder, the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to prepay, repay or repurchase (or offer to prepay, repay or repurchase) any Other Applicable Indebtedness, then the relevant Person may apply the Subject Proceeds on a pro rata basis to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the prepayment, repurchase or repayment of the Other Applicable Indebtedness (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and the Other Applicable Indebtedness (or accreted amount if such Other Applicable Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount) at such time); it being understood that (1) the portion of the Subject Proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of the Subject Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof (and the remaining amount, if any, of the Subject Proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), and the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be reduced accordingly and (2) to the extent the holders of the Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid or repurchased, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

In the event that the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than with respect to Indebtedness permitted under Section 8.03, except to the extent the relevant Indebtedness constitutes Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 8.03(p) or Replacement Term Loans incurred to refinance Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.01(d)), the applicable Borrowers shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than two Business Days thereafter) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by the Parent or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Term Loans in accordance with clause (vi) below;

(iv)

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.05(b) to the contrary, (A) the Borrowers shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) above to the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any Foreign Subsidiary, the relevant Prepayment Asset Sale is consummated by any Foreign Subsidiary or the relevant Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds are received by any Foreign Subsidiary, as the case may be, for so long as the Parent determines in good faith that the repatriation to the Borrowers of any such amount would be prohibited or delayed (beyond the time period during which such prepayment is otherwise required to be made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) above) under any requirement of Law or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of such Foreign Subsidiary (including on account of financial assistance, corporate benefit, thin capitalization, capital maintenance or similar considerations); it being understood and agreed that (i) solely within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the applicable Borrowers shall take all commercially reasonable actions required by applicable requirements of Law to permit such repatriation and (ii) if the

131

repatriation of the relevant affected Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, is permitted under the applicable requirement of Law and, to the extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in, or be reasonably expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for the Persons described above, in either case, within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period or the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the relevant Foreign Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the relevant Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, and the repatriated Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against such Excess Cash Flow or such Subject Proceeds, as a result thereof, in each case by any Loan Party, such Loan Party’s subsidiaries, and any Affiliates or indirect or direct equity owners of the foregoing) to the repayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (iv)), (B) the Borrowers shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) to the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any Joint Venture (including any Subsidiary that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or the relevant Subject Proceeds are received by any Joint Venture (including any Subsidiary that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) for so long as the Parent determines in good faith that the distribution to the Borrowers of such Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds would be prohibited under any applicable (I) Organization Documents (or any relevant shareholders’ or similar agreement) governing such Joint Venture, (II) agreement or instrument (including a financing arrangement) entered into with a Person other than the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary not prohibited hereunder or (III) judgment, decree, order, statute or governmental rule or regulation; it being understood that if the relevant prohibition ceases to exist within the 365-day period following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period, the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds, the relevant Joint Venture will promptly distribute the relevant Excess Cash Flow or the relevant Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, and the distributed Excess Cash Flow or Subject Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days after such distribution) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (iv)) and (C) if the Parent determines in good faith that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) to the Borrowers of any amounts required to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) above would result in material and adverse tax consequences for any Loan Party or any of such Loan Party’s subsidiaries, Affiliates or indirect or direct equity owners, taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), as determined by the Parent in good faith, the amount the Borrowers shall be required to mandatorily prepay pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) above, as applicable, shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount; provided that to the extent that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) of any Subject Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow from the relevant Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have a material and adverse tax consequence within the 365-day period following the event giving rise to the relevant Subject Proceeds or the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period, as the case may be, an amount equal to the Subject Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, not previously applied pursuant to this clause

132

(C), shall be promptly applied to the repayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b) as otherwise required above (without regard to this clause (iv));

(v)

Each Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent prior to any prepayment of initial Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), to decline all (but not a portion) of its Applicable Percentage of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”), which Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrowers and used for any legal purpose permitted (or not prohibited) hereunder, including to increase the Available Amount; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made under Section 2.05(b)(iii) above to the extent that such prepayment is made with the Net Cash Proceeds of (w) Refinancing Indebtedness (including Replacement Debt) incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 8.03(p), (x) Incremental Term Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans, (y) Replacement Term Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.01(d) and/or (z) Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.03(z). If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt of its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.

(vi)

Except as may otherwise be set forth in any amendment to this Agreement in connection with any Incremental Term Loan, (A) each prepayment of Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans (based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Term Loans) (provided that any prepayment constituting (w) Refinancing Indebtedness (including Replacement Debt) incurred to refinance all or a portion of Term Loans pursuant to Section 8.03(p), (x) Incremental Term Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans, (y) Replacement Term Loans incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.01(d) and/or (z) Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.03(z) shall, in each case be applied solely to each applicable Class of refinanced or replaced Term Loans), (B) with respect to each Class of Term Loans, all accepted prepayments under Section 2.05(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans as directed by the Parent (or, in the absence of direction from the Parent, to the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of the initial Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans in direct order of maturity) and (C) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

133

amount of such prepayment. Each such certificate shall specify the Borrowings being prepaid, the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid and the Administrative Agent with respect to each such Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.08. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.05(b), except as set forth in the last sentence of clause (v) above, shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

2.10

Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans and SONIA Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate or Term SOFR) 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 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-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans

142

denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Applicable Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.11

Evidence of Debt.

(a)

The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Applicable Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Applicable Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers 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 each Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Applicable Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Applicable Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Applicable Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Applicable Administrative Agent) one or more Notes, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Class, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b)

In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12

Payments Generally; Administrative Agents’ Clawback.

(a)

General. All payments to be made by each Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by each Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Applicable Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by each Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Applicable Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable

143

Time specified by the Applicable Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Applicable Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, a Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Applicable Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Applicable Administrative Agent after (i) 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) the Applicable Time specified by the Applicable Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, may, as determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (except for purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred) and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payment to be made by a Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b)

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agents. Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SONIA Loans or SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Applicable Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the other Loans included in such Borrowing. If the applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the applicable Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the applicable Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent.

(ii)

Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by the Administrative Agents. Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company

144

prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Applicable L/C Issuer hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the Applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the Applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Applicable L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Applicable Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Company with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)

Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Applicable Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Applicable Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)

Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(e)

Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f)

Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Applicable Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

2.13

Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such

145

Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Applicable Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(i)

if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)

the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.14, or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof other than in accordance with Section 11.06(i) (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the applicable Borrowers may extend the final maturity of Loans and/or Commitments in connection with an Extension that is permitted under Section 2.18 without being obligated to effect such extensions on a pro rata basis among the Lenders (it being understood that no such extension (i) shall constitute a payment or prepayment of any Loans, for purposes of this Section 2.13 or (ii) shall reduce the amount of any scheduled amortization payment due under Section 2.07, except that the amount of any scheduled amortization payment due to a Lender of Extended Term Loans may be reduced to the extent provided pursuant to the express terms of the

146

respective Extension Amendment) without giving rise to any violation of this Section 2.13 or any other provision of this Agreement. Furthermore, the applicable Borrower may take all actions contemplated by Section 2.18 in connection with any Extension (including modifying pricing, amortization and repayments or prepayments), and in each case such actions shall be permitted, and the differing payments contemplated therein shall be permitted without giving rise to any violation of this Section 2.13 or any other provision of this Agreement.

2.14

Cash Collateral.

(a)

Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the Applicable L/C Issuer if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any undrawn Letter of Credit remains outstanding, the Company shall, in each case (but subject to Section 2.03(l)), immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days, after receipt of written notice from the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the Applicable L/C Issuer, the Company shall deliver to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b)

Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent. The Company, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, shall grant to (and subject to the control of) the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, each Applicable L/C Issuer and the Lenders, and shall maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any prior or pari passu right or claim of any Person other than the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Company or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c)

Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.14 or Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.15 or 9.02 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d)

Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the

147

termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Revolving Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.06(b)(vii))) or (ii) the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.14 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Applicable L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.15

Defaulting Lenders.

(a)

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

(i)

Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.

(ii)

Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer hereunder; third, if so determined by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or requested by any Applicable L/C Issuer, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit issued by such Applicable L/C Issuer; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or any L/C Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any L/C Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the applicable Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the applicable Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings

148

were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. 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 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)

Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the applicable Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

(iv)

Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03, the “Applicable Percentage” of each Revolving Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, the aggregate obligation of each Revolving Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of that Revolving Lender that is a non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of that Revolving Lender.

(b)

Defaulting Lender Cure. If the applicable Borrower, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Revolving Facility Administrative 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), that Revolving Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders or take such other actions as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon that Revolving 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 Company while that Revolving Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent set forth in Section 2.15(a)(v) or otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Revolving Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.16

Special Provisions Relating to a Re-Allocation Event.

149

(a)

On the date of the occurrence of a Re-Allocation Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action), (i) all then outstanding Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency and all Unreimbursed Amounts in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Company owed in an Alternative Currency, shall be automatically converted into Revolving Loans maintained in, and Unreimbursed Amounts owing by the Company in, Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the respective Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts on the date such Re-Allocation Event first occurred, which Revolving Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts (x) shall continue to be owed by the Company, (y) shall at all times thereafter be deemed to be Base Rate Loans and (z) shall be immediately due and payable on the date such Re-Allocation Event has occurred) and (ii) all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to such Revolving Loans and Unreimbursed Amounts shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars, taking the Dollar Equivalent of such principal amount, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts. The occurrence of any conversion of Revolving Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts to Base Rate Loans as provided above in this Section 2.16(a) shall be deemed to constitute, for purposes of Section 2.05, a prepayment of Revolving Loans before the last day of any Interest Period relating thereto.

No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, unless it so agrees.

(e)

This Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 11.01 to the contrary.

2.18

The applicable Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.18. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the applicable Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) (except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, “AHYDO” payments, optional prepayments and redemptions, mandatory repayments, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments, which shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders and set forth in the relevant Term Loan Extension Request), be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable to the Extending Term Lenders than those applicable to the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Term Loan Extension Request (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans)) (as reasonably determined by the applicable Borrower), including: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Classes of Term Loans hereunder (including Incremental Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Term Loans and Extended Term Loans) which have more than five different Maturity Dates; (ii) the Effective Yield, pricing, optional prepayment and redemptions, mandatory repayments and “AHYDO” payments with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield, pricing, optional prepayments and redemptions, mandatory repayments and “AHYDO” payments for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have call

152

protection as may be agreed by the applicable Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that no Extended Term Loans (x) incurred by a Designated Borrower with respect to 2017 Refinancing Term B-2 Loans or Term B-4 Loans may be optionally or mandatorily prepaid prior to the date on which all such 2017 Refinancing Term B-2 Loans or Term B-4 Loans, and all other Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans incurred by a Designated Borrower, in each case with an earlier final stated maturity (including Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were amended) are repaid in full, unless such optional or mandatory prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional or mandatory prepayment of such other Classes of Term Loans and (y) not described in preceding clause (x) may be optionally or mandatorily prepaid prior to the date on which all such Term Loans with an earlier final stated maturity (including Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were amended) are repaid in full, unless such optional or mandatory prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional or mandatory prepayment of such other Classes of Term Loans; provided, further, that (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Term Loan Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter (other than by virtue of amortization or prepayment of such Indebtedness prior to the time of incurrence of such Extended Term Loans) than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (E) any Extended Term Loans (x) incurred by a Designated Borrower with respect to Refinancing Term B-2 Loans or Term B-4 Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder with respect to any 2017 Refinancing Term B-2 Loans, Term B-4 Loans and any other Extended Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans incurred by a Designated Borrower and (y) not described in preceding clause (x) may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder with respect to any other Class of Term Loans, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionally increased). Each Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.18 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount of the Indebtedness being extended pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)).

The Company may, at any time and from time to time, request that all or a portion of the Revolving Facility (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of the Commitments under the Revolving Facility (any such Commitments under the Revolving Facility which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to

153

provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.18. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Company shall provide a notice to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) except as to interest rates, fees, optional redemption or prepayment terms, final maturity, and after the final maturity date, any other covenants and provisions (which shall be determined by the Company and the Extending Revolving Lenders and set forth in the relevant Revolver Extension Request), the Extended Revolving Commitment extended pursuant to a Revolver Extension Request, and the related outstandings, shall be a “Revolving Facility” (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with such other terms substantially identical to, or taken as a whole, no more favorable to the Extending Revolving Lenders, as those applicable to the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Revolver Extension Request (and related outstandings) (as reasonably determined by the Company), including: (i) the Effective Yield, pricing, optional prepayment or redemption terms, with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the Effective Yield, pricing, optional redemption or prepayment terms, for extensions of credit under the Revolving Facility of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants (as determined by the Company and Extending Revolving Lenders) and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Commitments); and (iii) (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the Revolving Facility (and related outstandings), the Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series (and related outstandings) or the Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series (and related outstandings), in each case having an earlier Maturity Date and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments under the Revolving Facility, the Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series or the Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series, in each case having an earlier Maturity Date (subject to clause (3) below)) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series after the date of obtaining such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Revolving Commitments and all other Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments then existing, (2) subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(l) to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series and/or Refinancing Revolving Commitments of a given Refinancing Series with a longer Maturity Date, all Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments, Extended Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Commitments under the applicable Classes (and except as provided in Section 2.03(l), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (3) the permanent repayment of Loans under, and termination of, Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series after the date of obtaining such Extended Revolving

154

Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Revolving Commitments and all other Classes of Extended Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Commitments then existing, except that the Company shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a greater than a pro rata basis as compared to any other such Class with a later Maturity Date and (4) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to the Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and each other Class of Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and Refinancing Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings); provided, further, that (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Revolver Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche, (C) at no time shall there be Commitments under revolving credit facilities hereunder (including the Revolving Commitments, Extended Revolving Commitments of each Extension Series and Refinancing Revolving Commitments of each Refinancing Series) which have more than five different Maturity Dates and (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments incurred under this Section 2.18 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount of the Revolving Commitments being extended pursuant to this under Section 2.18(b)).

(c)

Extension Request. The applicable Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, are requested to respond (or such shorter period as agreed by the Applicable Administrative Agent), and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.18. Subject to Section 11.13, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Applicable Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the

155

Applicable Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Applicable Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.

(d)

Extension Amendment. Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrowers, the Applicable Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.18(a) or 2.18(b) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with such Extension Amendment) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Applicable Administrative Agent, receipt by the Applicable Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Restatement Effective Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Applicable Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.07 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.07), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.05 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18 (including, without limitation, such amendments as may be considered necessary or appropriate to integrate any new Class of Extended Revolving Commitments), and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Applicable Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.

156

(e)

No Prepayment. No conversion or extension of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.18 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment or repayment for purposes of this Agreement. This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 11.01 to the contrary.

Article III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01

Taxes.

(a)

Payments Free of Taxes. Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if any Loan Party or any of the Applicable Administrative Agents shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) such Applicable Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions and withholdings been made, (ii) such Loan Party or such Applicable Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions and withholdings and (iii) such Loan Party or such Applicable Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)

Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Applicable Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)

Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each of the Applicable Administrative Agents, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01(c)) paid by such Applicable Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender or a L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), or by the Applicable Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)

Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall severally indemnify the Applicable Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that no Loan Party has already indemnified such Applicable Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Party to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable

157

to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or L/C Issuer, in each case, that are payable or paid by such Applicable Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or L/C Issuer by the Applicable Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Applicable Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Applicable Administrative Agent to the Lender or L/C Issuer from any other source against any amount due to the Applicable Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e)

Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above, the Company shall deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Administrative Agent.

(f)

Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, (A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code and that makes a Credit Extension to such Borrower shall deliver to the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and (B) any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Applicable Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon

158

the request of the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)

duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii)

duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(iii)

(v)

duly executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

In addition to the foregoing, if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Applicable Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Applicable Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the requesting party 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 paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Restatement Effective Date.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Applicable Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

159

Upon becoming Party to this Agreement as the Term Facilities Administrative Agent and Revolving Facility Administrative Agent hereunder, MSSF shall, if requested by the Company, deliver to the Company, on or prior to Revolving Facility Amendment Date, duly completed executed copies of IRS Form W-9 to establish that MSSF is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(g)

Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall any of the Administrative Agents have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If any of the Administrative Agents, any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the such Applicable Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of such Applicable Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than any penalties, interest or other charges attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Applicable Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment) to such Applicable Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event such Applicable Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require any of the Administrative Agents, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

3.02

Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, Term SOFR, the Term CORRA Reference Rate or Term CORRA, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, Term SOFR, the Term CORRA Reference Rate or Term CORRA or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market for the applicable currency, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Applicable Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SONIA Loans or SOFR Loans, as applicable, in the affected currency or currencies, or to convert Base Rate Loans to affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate or Term SOFR component of

160

the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender, shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate or Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all of such Lender’s Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate or Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), (A) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if all affected Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SOFR Loans to such day or (B) in the case of SONIA Loans, immediately and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA or Term SOFR, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate or Term SOFR component thereof until the Applicable Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03

Inability to Determine Rates; Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a)

Other than with respect to SOFR Loans,

(i)

If the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (B) below) determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a SONIA Loan or a conversion to or continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan that (A) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (B) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, as applicable, for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (C) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to an existing or proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Adjusted Simple Daily SONIA with respect to an existing or proposed SONIA Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice (which revocation the

161

Administrative Agent agrees to give promptly upon receipt of such instruction). Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (which shall be calculated in accordance with clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable) in the amount specified therein to the extent available (or, in the case of a pending request for a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Company and the Lenders may establish a mutually acceptable alternative rate).

(ii)

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) the circumstances set forth in clause (i) of this Section 3.03(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (B) the circumstances set forth in clause (i) of this Section 3.03(a) have not arisen but (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurocurrency Rate or the SONIA Administrator has made a public statement that the administrator of the Eurocurrency Rate or the SONIA Administrator, as applicable, is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, as applicable), (x) the administrator of the Eurocurrency Rate or the SONIA Administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, as applicable, will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, as applicable), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurocurrency Rate or the SONIA Administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, as applicable, will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurocurrency Rate, the SONIA Administrator or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agents has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, as applicable, may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agents and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, as applicable, that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agents shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this Section 3.03(a)(ii), (x) any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Eurocurrency Rate Loans or SONIA Loans shall be ineffective and (y) any request for Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made as a Base Rate Loans and any request for SONIA Loans shall be prepaid in full immediately. Notwithstanding anything

162

contained herein to the contrary, if such alternate rate of interest as determined in this paragraph is determined to be less than 0% per annum, such rate shall be deemed to be 0% percent per annum for the purposes of this Agreement.

(b)

Solely in respect of any SOFR Loan, subject to Section 3.03(c), if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

(i)

any of the Administrative Agents determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(ii)

the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to any of the Administrative Agents, such Applicable Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by any of the Administrative Agents to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until such Applicable Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), 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 SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 3.03(c), if any of the Administrative Agents determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by such Applicable Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until such Applicable Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

(c)

Solely in respect of any SOFR Loan,

(i)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of any Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document

163

and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Applicable Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis

(ii)

In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Applicable Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii)

The Applicable Administrative 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 Applicable Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.03(c)(iv) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by any of the Administrative Agents or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.03(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.03(c).

(iv)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (x) 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 Applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (y) 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 Applicable Administrative 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 (x) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (y) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be

164

representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Applicable Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v)

Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(d)

Solely in respect of any Term CORRA Loan,

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a CORRA Benchmark Transition Event and its related CORRA Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current CORRA Benchmark, then (x) if a CORRA Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “CORRA Benchmark Replacement” for such CORRA Benchmark Replacement Date, such CORRA Benchmark Replacement will replace such CORRA Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of such CORRA Benchmark setting and subsequent CORRA Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a CORRA Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “CORRA Benchmark Replacement” for such CORRA Benchmark Replacement Date, such CORRA Benchmark Replacement will replace such CORRA Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any CORRA Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such CORRA Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as Applicable Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such CORRA Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the CORRA Benchmark Replacement is Adjusted Daily Compounded CORRA, all interest payments will be payable on the last day of each CORRA Interest Period. No Swap Contract shall be deemed a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 3.03(d).

In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a CORRA Benchmark Replacement, the Applicable Administrative Agent will have the right to make CORRA Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such CORRA Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

165

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Applicable Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any CORRA Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any CORRA Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a CORRA Benchmark Replacement. The Applicable Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a CORRA Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.03(d)(iv) and (y) the commencement of any CORRA Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Applicable Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.03(d) including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.03(d).

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a CORRA Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current CORRA Benchmark is a term rate (including Term CORRA) and either (A) any tenor for such CORRA Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such CORRA Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such CORRA Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “CORRA Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any CORRA Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a CORRA Benchmark (including a CORRA Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a CORRA Benchmark (including a CORRA Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “CORRA Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all CORRA 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 CORRA Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of CORRA Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (i) for a CORRA Benchmark Unavailability Period in respect of Term CORRA, Daily Compounded CORRA Loans.

(vi) Daily Compounded CORRA. Each of the Administrative Agent, Borrowers and Lenders hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Eurocurrency Rate Loans based on Daily Compounded CORRA or Adjusted Daily Compounded

(i)

impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any L/C Issuer (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA or Term SOFR, other than as set forth below);

(ii)

subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit, any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, SONIA Loan or any SOFR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer); or

(iii)

impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market, or other applicable market, any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SONIA Loans or SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA or Term SOFR, as applicable (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)

Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to liquidity and capital adequacy), then from time to

167

time the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)

Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)

Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that a Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)

Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurodollar funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency Liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the applicable Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05

Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly compensate (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)

any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or any SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b)

any failure by a Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or any SOFR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company;

168

(c)

any failure by a Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) in a different currency from such Loan or Letter of Credit drawing; or

(d)

any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 11.13;

including foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract (but excluding anticipated profits). The Company shall also pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company (or the applicable Designated Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan or SOFR Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate or Term SOFR, as applicable, for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or SOFR Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06

Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)

Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, 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 or such L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)

Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

(c)

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state Law.

4.02

Obligations Unconditional.

(a)

The obligations of the Domestic Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than payment in full of the Obligations, other than contingent indemnification, tax gross up, expense reimbursement or yield protection obligations, in each case, for which no claim has been made), it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Domestic Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

(d)

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any of the Administrative Agents or any other holder of the Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

4.03

Reinstatement.

(a)

The obligations of the Domestic Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Domestic Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each of the Administrative Agents and each holder of the Obligations on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by such Applicable Administrative Agent or such holder of the Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law.

The Domestic Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Domestic Guarantors, on the one hand, and each of the Administrative Agents and the other holders of the Obligations, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances so provided in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Domestic Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Domestic Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the holders of the Obligations may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

4.06

Rights of Contribution. The Domestic Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Domestic Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Domestic Guarantors as permitted under applicable law.

(a)

declare the commitment of each Revolving Lender to make Revolving Loans and any obligation of each L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

(b)

declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers;

(d)

exercise on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers all rights and remedies available to it, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under the Loan Documents or applicable Law or at equity;

provided, however, that (x) upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Revolving Lender to make Loans and any obligation of each L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Company to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the any of the Administrative Agents or any Lender and, (y) during the continuance of any Event of Default arising under Section 9.01(b) on account of a violation of Section 8.11(a), upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders (but not the Required Lenders or any other Lender or group of Lenders), the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Company, (1) terminate the Revolving Commitments, and thereupon such Revolving Commitments shall terminate immediately, (2) declare the Revolving Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Revolving Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Company accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company and (3) require that the Company Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof)., and (z) during the continuance of any Event of Default arising under Section 9.01(b) on account of a violation of Section 8.11(b), upon the request of the Required Term Lenders for the Term A-9 Loans (but not the Required Lenders or any other Lender or group of Lenders), the Term Facility Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Company, declare the Term A-9 Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Term A-9 Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Company accrued hereunder,

222

shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company.

9.03

Application of Funds. In all cases subject to an Intercreditor Agreement, after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02):

(a)

Subject to clauses (b), (c) and (d) below, any amounts received by any of the Administrative Agents (or, to the extent that any Collateral Document requires proceeds of collateral under such Collateral Document to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the collateral agent, mortgagee, security trustee, pledgee or other “Secured Party” under such Collateral Document) on account of the Obligations (including upon any sale or other Disposition of any Collateral or any distribution under a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws with respect to any Loan Party), shall be applied by the Administrative Agents in the following order:

Second, to payment in full of Unfunded Advances/Participations (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among, as applicable, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Unfunded Advances/Participations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuers and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings and fees, premiums and scheduled

Fifth, to (a) payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, (b) payment of breakage, termination or other payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Secured Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, (c) payments of amounts due under any Secured Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender and (d) Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Lenders (and, in the case of such Secured Swap Contracts and Secured Treasury Management Agreements, Affiliates of Lenders) and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth held by them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.

(b)

[reserved].

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.03, any of the Administrative Agents may in its sole discretion (and, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall) apply any amounts described in clause (a) above, to the extent representing proceeds under any U.S. Collateral Document or otherwise received from any Domestic Loan Party (a) first, to the Direct U.S. Loan Party Obligations as provided in the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth clauses thereof (as if each reference in said clauses to “Obligations” were to “Direct U.S. Loan Party Obligations”) and (b) second, after repayment in full of all Direct U.S. Loan Party Obligations, to all other Obligations as provided in the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth clauses thereof.

Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth of clause (a) above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Treasury Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contracts shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agents have not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agents may request, from the Lender or Affiliate of a Lender party to such Secured Treasury Management Agreement or such Secured Swap Contract, as the case may be. Each holder of any such Obligations arising under Secured Swap Contracts or Secured Treasury Management Agreements that is not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agents pursuant to the terms of Article X hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if it were a “Lender” party hereto.

224

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no circumstances shall proceeds of any Collateral constituting an asset of a Loan Party which is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor be applied towards the payment of any Obligations under Secured Swap Contracts.

Article X

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS

10.01

Appointment and Authority. Each of the Term Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints MSSF to act on its behalf as the Term Facilities Administrative Agent and each of the Revolving Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocable appoints MSSF to act on its behalf as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, in each case hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Applicable Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Applicable Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as expressly provided in Section 10.05 and 10.06, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

CS shall act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, potential Swap Contract providers and potential Treasury Management Agreement providers) and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, CS, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

10.02

Rights as a Lender. The Persons serving as the Administrative Agents hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in their capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not any of the Administrative Agents and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Persons serving as the Administrative Agents hereunder in their individual capacity. Such Persons and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Persons was not the Administrative Agents hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

225

10.03

Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agents:

(a)

shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)

shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that any of the Administrative Agents are required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that none of the Administrative Agents shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Applicable Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c)

shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Persons serving as the Administrative Agents or any of their Affiliates in any capacity.

None of the Administrative Agents shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Applicable Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). None of the Administrative Agents shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agents by the Company, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.

The Administrative Agents shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agents.

10.04

Reliance by Administrative Agents. Each of the Administrative Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, signature, representation, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each of the Administrative Agents also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or

226

by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Applicable Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each of the Administrative Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.05

Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agents may perform any and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Applicable Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agents and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agents and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agents.

10.06

Resignation of Administrative Agents. The Applicable Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and, unless an Event of Default under Section 9.01(f) then exists, the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Term Lenders, in the case of the Administrative Agent, or the Required Revolving Lenders, in the case of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, shall have the right, with the consent of the Company at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Term Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Applicable Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Applicable Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Applicable Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Applicable Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Applicable Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Applicable Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Applicable Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Applicable Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Applicable Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Term Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, appoint a successor Applicable Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Applicable Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,

227

privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Applicable Administrative Agent, and the retiring Applicable Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section ). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Applicable Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Applicable Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Applicable Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Applicable Administrative Agent was acting as an Applicable Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by CS or MSSF as Administrative Agent or Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, respectively, pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer, so long as, effective upon such resignation, at least one L/C Issuer remains in such capacity and/or a successor L/C Issuer is appointed in accordance with the immediately following sentence and the aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimits of all remaining L/C Issuers is not less than the Letter of Credit Sublimit as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Applicable Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (ii) such retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such retiring L/C Issuer and outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.07

Non-Reliance on Administrative Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any of the Administrative Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any of the Administrative Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.08

No Other Duties; Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents in respect of the Facilities (including the Arrangers and the Co-Managers) shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Applicable Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder; it being understood and agreed that such bookrunners, arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of

228

the Administrative Agents as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 11.04. Without limitation of the foregoing, any such bookrunners, arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other person.

10.09

Administrative Agents May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, any of the Administrative Agents (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether any of the Administrative Agents shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, 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, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations arising under the Loan Documents 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 L/C Issuers and any of the Administrative Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agents under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to any of the Administrative Agents and, if the Administrative Agents shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agents any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agents under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agents to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agents to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

10.10

Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a)

to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and payment in full of (a) all principal of and interest accrued to such date which constitute Obligations (other than (A) Obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection for which no claim has been made and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Treasury Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contracts as to which arrangements

229

satisfactory to the applicable provider thereof shall have been made), (b) all fees, expenses and other amounts then due and payable which constitute Obligations (other than (A) Obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection for which no claim has been made and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Treasury Management Agreements and Secured Swap Contracts as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable provider thereof shall have been made) and (c) the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that have been fully Cash Collateralized or secured by one or more letters of credit on terms and conditions, and with one or more financial institutions, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Applicable L/C Issuer), (ii) that is transferred or to be transferred to a non-Loan Party (with the effectiveness of such release to be contingent upon consummation of such transaction) as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Involuntary Disposition, or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 11.01;

(b)

to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.01(i); and

(c)

to release any Guarantor (other than the Parent) from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.10.

10.11

Secured Swap Contracts and Secured Treasury Management Agreements. No Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender that is party to any Secured Swap Contract or any Secured Treasury Management Agreement permitted hereunder that obtains the benefits of Section 9.03 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, none of the Administrative Agents shall be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Swap Contracts and Secured Treasury Management Agreements unless the Administrative Agents have received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agents may request, from the applicable Lender or Affiliate of a Lender that is party to such Secured Swap Contract or such Secured Treasury Management Agreement, as the case may be.

10.12

Delivery of Information. None of the Administrative Agents shall be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by any of the Administrative Agents from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any

230

Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of any of the Administrative Agents at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

10.13

Erroneous Payment.If the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Revolving Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Revolving Lender (any such Revolving Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Revolving Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 10.13 and held in trust for the benefit of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, and such Revolving Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate, or with respect to Alternative Currencies, the applicable benchmark rate, and a rate determined by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(a)

Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Revolving Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Revolving Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Revolving Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(c)

(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Revolving Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent’s notice to such Revolving Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Revolving Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an electronic platform as to which the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Revolving Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent as the assignee Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent as the assignee Revolving Lender shall become a Revolving Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous

For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Revolving Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 11.06 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (other than the consent of the Borrower, to the extent required under Section 11.06)), the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the Revolving Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Revolving Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf).

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Revolving Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(i) To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to any of the Administrative Agents (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such of the Administrative Agents (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought, and calculated, solely for this purpose, on an aggregate basis across all Facilities then in effect) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such of the Administrative Agents (or any such sub-agent) or such L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such of the Administrative Agents (or any such sub-agent) or such L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(ii)

Each of the Administrative Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(d)

Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each case, as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

242

(e)

Payments. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(f)

Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of any of the Administrative Agents and any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

11.05

Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to any of the Administrative Agents, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or any of the Administrative Agents, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such of the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent permitted by applicable law, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agents upon demand their respective applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any of the Administrative Agents, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.06

Successors and Assigns.

(a)

Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agents and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)

Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes

243

of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)

Minimum Amounts. Except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund:

(A)

in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the related Loans at the time owing to it under any Facility, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)

in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Applicable Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such trade date, shall not be less than (i) $5,000,000 in the case of an assignment under the Revolving Facility and (ii) $1,000,000 in the case of an assignment under any Term Facility unless each of the Applicable Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii)

Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitments of the applicable Class, and rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto, assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii)

Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A)

the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (or, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund in respect of a Revolving Lender), or (3) such assignment is during the primary syndication of the Loans and Commitments to Persons identified by the Administrative Agent to the Company and approved by the Company (acting reasonably) on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to

244

any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Applicable Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof in accordance with Section 11.02;

(B)

the consent of the Applicable Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) any Term Commitment or Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C)

the consent of each L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment of Revolving Commitments or any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv)

Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to such Applicable Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Applicable Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, in each case, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 (to be paid by the assignor or the assignee); provided, however, that the Applicable Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive or reduce such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all applicable tax forms.

(v)

No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates (including the Parent and the Designated Borrowers) or Subsidiaries (other than pursuant to and in accordance with Section 11.06(i) below), (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) a natural person.

(vi)

No Assignment Resulting in Additional Indemnified Taxes. No such assignment under the Revolving Facility shall be made to any Person that, through its Lending Offices, is not capable of lending the applicable Alternative Currencies to either of the Borrowers without the imposition of any additional Indemnified Taxes.

(vii)

Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations

245

or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have acknowledged in writing that it is bound by the terms of the Re-Allocation Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the Re-Allocation Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the Re-Allocation Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and to the Re-Allocation Agreement but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)

Register. The applicable Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations (and stated interest thereon) 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 Company, the Applicable Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of

246

the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Applicable Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower and the issuing bank to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (c).

(d)

Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company, any of the Administrative Agents or any L/C Issuer, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agents, the other Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103‑1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent 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, none of the Administrative Agents (in their capacity as Administrative Agents) shall have responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

247

(e)

Limitation on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent the sale of the participation is pursuant to the Re-Allocation Agreement. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless (i) such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(f) as though it were a Lender or (ii) the sale of the participation is pursuant to the Re-Allocation Agreement and, in each case, such Participant delivers the forms required by Section 3.01(f) to such Participant’s participating Lender.

(f)

Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over it; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)

Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time an L/C Issuer assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such L/C Issuer may, so long as at least one other L/C Issuer shall then exist, upon thirty days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that any such resignation as L/C Issuer shall not be effective if there are no L/C Issuers (including any successor L/C Issuer appointed in accordance with this sentence) under this Agreement. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (1) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring L/C Issuer and (2) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such retiring L/C Issuer and outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(h)

[reserved].

(i)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans of any Class hereunder to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, but only if:

(i)

such assignment is made pursuant to (x) a Dutch Auction open to all Term Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis or (y) an open-market purchase;

(ii)

no Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom;

248

(iii)

any such Term Loans shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition thereof by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(iv)

the Parent and its Subsidiaries do not use the proceeds of the Revolving Facility (whether or not the Revolving Facility has been increased pursuant to Section 2.01 or otherwise modified pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18) to acquire such Term Loans.

11.07

Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors, numbering, administration and settlement service providers and other representatives who have a need to know such Information in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to become a Lender pursuant to Section 2.01(f), 2.17, 2.18 or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Company, (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to any of the Administrative Agents, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (which source is not known by the recipient to be in breach of confidentiality obligations with the Parent or any Subsidiary) (i) for purposes of establishing a due diligence defense or (j) to any credit insurance provider relating to the Company and its obligations.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any of the Administrative Agents, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary (other than any such information received from a source that is known by the recipient to be in breach of confidentiality obligations with such Loan Party or any Subsidiary). Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of

249

material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

11.08

Set-off; Several Obligations.

(a)

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Company or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document then due to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Company or such Loan Party are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Company and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

11.09

Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the any of the Administrative Agents or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Applicable Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10

Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating

250

to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in the Second Amendment, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.11

Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each of the Administrative Agents and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any of the Administrative Agents or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any of the Administrative Agents or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (other than contingent indemnification, tax gross-up, expense reimbursement or yield protection obligations, in each case, for which no claim has been made).

11.12

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or each L/C Issuer, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.13

Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) either Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Loans as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SONIA Loans or SOFR Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02, (iv) a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 11.01 but requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby (as applicable) or (v) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Applicable Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

251

(a)

unless waived by the Applicable Administrative Agents (in its sole discretion), the Company shall have paid to the Applicable Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);

(b)

such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05 and 2.09(b)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)

in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d)

in the case of any such assignment resulting from a suspension of a Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Loans as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SONIA Loans or SOFR Loans, the assignee of such assignment shall not be prohibited from making or maintaining Loans as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SONIA Loans or SOFR Loans;

(e)

such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
