(b) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, Parent and its Affiliates shall give the Company prompt notice of any material breach, repudiation or threatened material breach or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter of which Parent or its Affiliates becomes aware; provided that none of Parent or Merger Sub shall be required to disclose or provide any such information, the disclosure of which, in the judgement of Parent upon advice of outside counsel, is subject to attorney-client privilege or which would be in violation of any confidentiality obligation. (c) In the event all or any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including the flex provisions (if any)) (other than as a result of the Company’s breach of any provision of this Agreement or failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Annex 1), then Parent and its Affiliates shall (i) promptly notify the Company thereof and the reasons therefor, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing from the same or alternative Debt Financing Entities on terms and conditions, taken as a whole, no less favorable to Parent than the Financing Conditions, not involving any conditions that would constitute an Adverse Effect on Financing (as defined below) as compared to those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter delivered to the Company on the date hereof, that, when taken together with the portion of the Debt Financing that remains available and any cash on hand, available lines of credit (including under Borrower’s existing revolving credit and securitization facilities) and other sources of immediately available funds, is at least equal to the Required Amount, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain, and when obtained, provide the Company with a true and complete copy of, a new financing commitment that provides for such alternative financing; provided that any provisions set forth in such new financing commitment relating to fees, pricing terms, “market flex” provisions (if any) and other terms that are customarily redacted (including any dates related thereto) may be redacted, so long as such redaction does not extend to any terms that would reasonably be expected to reduce the aggregate principal amount of such alternative financing to be funded on the Closing Date or impose additional conditions precedent to the funding of such alternative financing on the Closing Date. (d) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, without the prior written consent of the Company, Parent and its Affiliates shall not amend, modify, supplement, restate, assign, substitute or replace the Debt Commitment Letter or any Debt Financing Document if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, assignment, substitution or replacement would (A) impose additional conditions precedent or expand upon the conditions precedent to the funding of the Debt Financing, (B) reduce the amount of the Debt Financing or the net cash proceeds available from the Debt Financing to an amount that is less than the Required Amount (after taking into account any cash on hand, available lines of credit (including under Borrower’s existing revolving credit and securitization facilities) and other sources of immediately available funds), (C) prevent or materially delay or make materially less likely the funding of the Debt Financing (or the satisfaction of the Financing Conditions) on the Closing Date or materially impair, delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger, (D) materially adversely affect Parent’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger or (E) materially adversely impact the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates’ to enforce their respective rights against the Debt Financing Sources or any of the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements with respect thereto (clauses (A) through (E), each an “Adverse Effect on Financing”); provided that Parent may, without the prior written consent of the Company, amend, modify, supplement, restate, assign, substitute or replace the Debt Commitment Letter, including (1) to add and appoint additional arrangers, bookrunners, underwriters, agents, lenders and similar Debt Financing Entities that have not executed the Debt Financing Documents as in effect on the date hereof and, in connection therewith, amend the economic and other arrangements with respect to such appointments, (2) modify pricing, (3) terminate or reduce any commitments under the Debt Financing in order to obtain alternative sources of debt financing in lieu of all or a portion of the Debt Financing and/or (4) increase the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing, in each case, so long as such amendments would not be reasonably expected to result in an Adverse Effect on Financing. Upon request of the Company, Parent shall keep the Company informed in reasonable detail of the status of Parent’s efforts to arrange the Debt Financing. Any alternative, substitute or replacement debt financing obtained by Parent in accordance with this paragraph and the previous paragraph is the “Alternative Financing.” For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by any Alternative Financing and references to “Debt Commitment Letter”, “Debt Fee Letters”, “Debt Financing Documents”, “Debt Financing Entities”, “Debt Financing Sources”, or “Financing” shall include the documents (or commitments or financing sources, as applicable) in connection with any Alternative Financing to the extent permitted by this Section 7.18, and such Alternative Financing shall be required to comply with the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as the Debt Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent or its Affiliates be required to pay any fees or any interest rates applicable to the Alternative Financing in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof (including the market flex provisions (if any)) or agree to any term (including any market flex term (if any)) less favorable (taken as a whole) to Parent than such term contained in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof (including the market flex provisions (if any)). Parent and Merger Sub expressly acknowledge and agree that their obligations under this Agreement, including their obligations to consummate the Offer and the Merger, are not subject to, or conditioned on, Parent’s or Merger Sub’s receipt of financing.
