Xyrem ANDA Matters. On October 18, 2010, the U.S. Borrower received a notice of Paragraph IV Patent Certification (“Paragraph IV Certification”), from Xxxxxx Laboratories, Inc. (“Xxxxxx”), that it had submitted an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), requesting approval to market a generic version of Xyrem. Roxane’s initial notice alleged that all five patents then listed for Xyrem in the FDA’s publication “Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations” (“Orange Book”) on the date of the notice are invalid, unenforceable or not infringed by Roxane’s proposed generic product. On November 22, 2010, the U.S. Borrower filed a lawsuit against Xxxxxx in response to Roxane’s initial notice in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (“District Court”) seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Xxxxxx from introducing a generic version of Xyrem that would infringe the U.S. Borrower’s patents. In accordance with the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (“Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act”) as a result of the U.S. Borrower’s having filed a timely lawsuit against Xxxxxx, FDA approval of Roxane’s ANDA was stayed for 30 months, or until April 2013. That stay has expired. Additional patents covering Xyrem have been issued since December 2010, and after receiving Paragraph IV Certification notices from Xxxxxx with respect to those patents, the U.S. Borrower filed additional lawsuits against Xxxxxx to include these additional patents in the litigation. All of the lawsuits filed against Xxxxxx between 2010 and 2012 have been consolidated by the District Court into a single case (the “First Xxxxxx Consolidated Case”). In the First Xxxxxx Consolidated Case, the U.S. Borrower alleges that 10 of the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering Xyrem are or will be infringed by Roxane’s ANDA and seeks a permanent injunction to prevent Xxxxxx from launching a generic version of Xyrem that would infringe these patents.


On December 10, 2012, the U.S. Borrower received notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Amneal”) that it had submitted an ANDA to the FDA requesting approval to market a generic version of Xyrem. On January 18, 2013, the U.S. Borrower filed a lawsuit against Amneal in the District Court alleging that the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering Xyrem are infringed or will be infringed by Amneal’s ANDA and seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Amneal from introducing a generic version of Xyrem that would infringe these patents. On November 21, 2013, the U.S. Borrower received notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Par”) that it had submitted an ANDA to the FDA requesting approval to market a generic version of Xyrem. On December 27, 2013, the U.S. Borrower filed a lawsuit against Par in the District Court alleging that the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering Xyrem are infringed or will be infringed by Par’s ANDA and seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Par from introducing a generic version of Xyrem that would infringe these patents.
Additional patents covering Xyrem have issued since April 2014 and have been listed in the Orange Book for Xyrem. Amneal and Par have given us additional notices of Paragraph IV Certifications regarding such patents, and the U.S. Borrower has filed additional lawsuits against Amneal and Par in the District Court alleging that the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering Xyrem are infringed or will be infringed by Amneal’s and Par’s ANDAs and seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Amneal and Par from introducing a generic version of Xyrem that will infringe these patents. In March 2016, Par moved to dismiss claims involving the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering a part of the Xyrem label that instructs prescribers on adjusting the dose of Xyrem when it is being co-administered with divalproex sodium (also known as valproate or valproic acid).


market a generic version of Xyrem. On July 15, 2014, the U.S. Borrower filed a lawsuit against Ranbaxy in the District Court alleging that the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering Xyrem are infringed or will be infringed by Ranbaxy’s ANDA and seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Ranbaxy from introducing a generic version of Xyrem that will infringe these patents. Since June 2014, the U.S. Borrower has received additional notices of Paragraph IV Certification from Ranbaxy regarding newly issued patents for Xyrem listed in the Orange Book, and the U.S. Borrower has filed additional lawsuits against Ranbaxy in the District Court alleging that the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering Xyrem are infringed or will be infringed by Ranbaxy’s ANDA and seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Ranbaxy from introducing a generic version of Xyrem that will infringe these patents. In May 2016, the Ranbaxy litigation was settled as described below.
On October 30, 2014, the U.S. Borrower received a notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Xxxxxx Laboratories, Inc. (“Xxxxxx”) that it had submitted an ANDA to the FDA requesting approval to market a generic version of Xyrem. On December 11, 2014, the U.S. Borrower filed a lawsuit against Xxxxxx in the District Court alleging that the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering Xyrem are or will be infringed by Xxxxxx’x XXXX and seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Xxxxxx from introducing a generic version of Xyrem that would infringe these patents. In March 2015, Xxxxxx moved to dismiss the portion of the case based on the U.S. Borrower’s Orange Book-listed patents covering the distribution system for Xyrem on the grounds that these patents do not cover patentable subject matter. In November 2015, the District Court administratively terminated this motion to dismiss (without prejudice) pending the outcome of IPR proceedings before the PTAB relating to the patents that were the subject of Xxxxxx’x motion. Since March 2015, the U.S. Borrower has received an additional notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Xxxxxx regarding newly issued patents for Xyrem listed in the Orange Book, and the U.S. Borrower has filed an additional lawsuit against Xxxxxx in the District Court alleging that the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering Xyrem are or will be infringed by Xxxxxx’x XXXX and seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Xxxxxx from introducing a generic version of Xyrem that would infringe these patents.
On June 8, 2015, the U.S. Borrower received a Paragraph IV Certification from Wockhardt Bio AG (“Wockhardt”) that it had submitted an ANDA to the FDA requesting approval to market a generic version of Xyrem. On July 17, 2015, the U.S. Borrower filed a lawsuit in the District Court alleging that the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering Xyrem were or would be infringed by Wockhardt’s ANDA and seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Wockhardt from introducing a generic version of Xyrem that would infringe the U.S. Borrower’s patents. On November 26, 2015, the U.S. Borrower received an additional notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Wockhardt regarding newly issued patents listed in the Orange Book, and the U.S. Borrower filed an additional lawsuit against Wockhardt in the District Court alleging that the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering Xyrem were or would be infringed by Wockhardt’s ANDA and seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Wockhardt from introducing a generic version of Xyrem that would infringe these patents. In April 2016, the Wockhardt litigation was settled as set forth below.


Xyrem Post-Grant Patent Review Matters. In January 2015, certain of the ANDA filers filed petitions for IPR with respect to the validity of six patents covering the distribution system for Xyrem. In July 2015, the PTAB issued decisions instituting IPR trials with respect to these petitions, and the U.S. Borrower expect the PTAB to issue final decisions on the validity of the patents in July 2016. In September 2015, certain of the ANDA filers filed a petition for IPR with respect to the validity of an additional patent covering the distribution system for Xyrem. In March 2016, the PTAB issued a decision instituting an IPR trial with respect to three claims of the patent subject to this petition, and the U.S. Borrower expect the PTAB to issue final decisions on the validity of these claims in March 2017. The PTAB denied the petition with respect to the other 25 claims of the patent.
In October 2015, Ranbaxy and Par filed petitions for IPR with respect to the validity of one of the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering a method for prescribing Xyrem when it is being co-administered with divalproex sodium, and Amneal filed an IPR petition on the same patent in February 2016. In April 2016, the PTAB denied Par’s petition in its entirety and issued a decision on Ranbaxy’s petition, instituting an IPR trial with respect to 16 of the claims under the patent subject to this petition and denying the petition with respect to the other 18 claims. The U.S. Borrower expects a decision on the Amneal petition in August 2016. In March 2016, Ranbaxy filed a petition for IPR with respect to the validity of the second of the U.S. Borrower’s patents covering a method for prescribing Xyrem when it is being co-administered with divalproex sodium. In connection with settlement of the U.S. Borrower’s litigation with Ranbaxy in May 2016, the U.S. Borrower filed a joint motion with Ranbaxy to terminate both of the IPR petitions filed by Ranbaxy which the PTAB subsequently granted.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Lead Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (d), and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Lead Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of Parent or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Lead Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket hereunder on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and until

Identification of a Loan (or a Borrowing) by both Class and Type (e.g., a “Term Eurodollar Loan”) indicates that such Loan is a Loan of both such Class and such Type (e.g., both a Term Loan and a Eurodollar Loan) or that such Borrowing is comprised of such Loans.
Section 1.08    Currency Translation. For purposes of any determination under Article VI, Article VII (other than Section 7.10) or Article VIII or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement expressly requiring the use of a current exchange rate, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at currency exchange rates in effect on the date of such determination; provided, however, that for purposes of determining compliance with Article VII with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Asset Disposition, Investment or Restricted Payment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of


(a)Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans to any Borrower in Dollars pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in amounts such that its Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed (after giving effect to all Revolving Loans repaid, all reimbursements of L/C Disbursements made, and all Refunded Swing Line Loans paid concurrently with the making of any Revolving Loans) its Revolving Commitment; provided that, immediately after giving effect to each such Revolving Loan, (i) the aggregate Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount and (ii) with respect to each Revolving Lender individually, such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans plus its (other than the Swing Line Lender’s in its capacity as such) Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the


Revolving Committed Amount; provided, further, that no more than $1,000,000,000 of Revolving Loans may be drawn on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. Each Revolving Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000, and each Revolving Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Revolving Commitments and any L/C Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of any outstanding Unreimbursed Amounts owed to one or more L/C Issuers as provided in Section 2.05(e)(iv)) and shall be made from the several Revolving Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, each Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), repay, or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.09, prepay, Revolving Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).
(i)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees in its sole discretion, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this subsection (c), to make a portion of the Revolving Commitments available to any Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period by making Swing Line Loans to such Borrower in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan” and, collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”); provided that (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Swing Line Committed Amount, (B) each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000, (C) with regard to each Lender individually (other than the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such), such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding L/C Obligations shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount, (D) with regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding plus the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding plus the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, (E) the Swing Line Committed Amount shall not exceed the aggregate of the Revolving Commitments then in effect, (F) no Swing Line Loans may be drawn on the Closing Date and (G) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loans if any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) with the applicable Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the Swing Line Lenders’ actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Swing Line Loans then proposed to be made and all other Swing Line Loans as to which the Swing Line Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. Swing Line Loans shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof prior to the Swing Line Termination Date. Swing Line Loans may be made notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s other Revolving Outstandings, exceed its Revolving Commitment. The proceeds of a Swing Line Borrowing may not be used, in whole or in part, to refund any prior Swing Line Borrowing.


(iv)In the case of Revolving Loans made by Lenders other than the Swing Line Lender under clause (iii) above, each such Revolving Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately delivered to the Swing Line Lender (and not to any Borrower) and applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans. On the day such Revolving Loans are made, the Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by the Swing Line Lender and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall instead be outstanding as Revolving Loans. The applicable Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender to charge such Borrower’s account with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in such account) in order to pay immediately to the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders, including amounts deemed to be received from the Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower from the Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.13.
(vi)If as a result of any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swing Line Lender as a result of a nonpayment of outstanding Swing Line Loans, each Revolving Lender agrees to purchase, and shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from the Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective Participation Interest in such Swing Line Loans in same day funds at the office of the Swing Line Lender specified or referred to in Section 10.02. In order to evidence such Participation Interest each Revolving


(vii)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (iv) above and to purchase Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to clause (vi) above shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (without limitation) (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or any other Person may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Loan Party, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination or reduction in the amount of the Revolving Commitments after any such Swing Line Loans were made, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Finance Document by any Borrower or any other Lender, (v) whether any condition specified in Article IV is then satisfied or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the forgoing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swing Line Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swing Line Loans in the amount of such unpaid Participation Interest for all purposes of the Finance Documents other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein. Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to the Swing Line Lender to fund Swing Line Loans in the amount of the Participation Interest in Swing Line Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section 2.01(c)(vii) until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).
(a)Borrowings Other Than Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings. Except in the case of Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings, the applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable notice; which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Notice of Borrowing; provided that any telephone notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing. Each such Notice of Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. on (i) the first Business Day before the proposed Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) the third Business Day before each proposed Eurodollar Loan Borrowing (except that the Notice of Borrowing with respect to Loans to be borrowed on the Closing Date may be in such form and may be provided on such shorter notice as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), unless such Borrower wishes to request an Interest Period for such Borrowing other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” in which case on the fourth Business Day before each such Eurodollar Loan, specifying:


(b)Swing Line Borrowings. The applicable Borrower shall request a Swing Line Loan by (A) telephone or (B) written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A-4 hereto or such other form as approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower (a “Swing Line Loan Request”) to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Request. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than (i) in the case of the U.S. Borrower, 12:00 P.M. or (ii) in the case of an Irish Borrower, 11:00 A.M. (Dublin time), in each case on the Business Day of the requested Swing Line Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) that a Swing Line Loan is requested, (ii) the date of the requested Swing Line Loan (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan requested, which shall be a minimum of $100,000. Each Swing Line Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and, subject to Section 2.01(c)(ii), shall have such maturity date as agreed to by the Swing Line Lender and the applicable Borrower upon receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the Swing Line Loan Request from such Borrower.


(i)(x) Not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of each Borrowing (other than a Base Rate Borrowing, a Swing Line Borrowing and an L/C Borrowing) or (y) not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of each Base Rate Borrowing, each Lender participating therein shall make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall make the funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (A) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (B) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by such Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein shall not have been met, promptly return the amounts received from the Lenders in like funds, without interest.
(c)Funding by the Administrative Agent in Anticipation of Amounts Due from the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but is not required to, make available to applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent then the applicable Lender and applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section


(d)Failed Loans. If any Lender shall fail to make any Loan (a “Failed Loan”) which such Lender is otherwise obligated hereunder to make to a Borrower on the date of Borrowing thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from such Borrower or such Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied, then, until such Lender shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection (d)), the Failed Loan in full or the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Borrower or such Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from such Borrower for the account of such Lender, (i) the amount so received (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been paid to the Lender in satisfaction of the obligation for which paid, without actual disbursement of such amount to the Lender, (ii) the Lender will be deemed to have made the same amount available to the Administrative Agent for disbursement as a Loan to the such Borrower (up to the amount of such Failed Loan) and (iii) the Administrative Agent will disburse such amount (up to the amount of the Failed Loan) to such Borrower or, if the Administrative Agent has previously made such amount available to such Borrower on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof, reimburse itself (up to the amount of the amount made available to such Borrower); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disburse any such amount to such Borrower, or otherwise apply it or deem it applied as provided herein unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that to so disburse such amount will not violate any Law, rule, regulation or requirement applicable to the Administrative Agent. Upon any such disbursement by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan of the same Class as the Failed Loan to the applicable Borrower in satisfaction, as applicable, to the extent thereof, of such Lender’s obligation to make the Failed Loan.
(a)Lender and Administrative Agent Accounts; Notes. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to a Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Senior Credit Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a single Revolving Note or Term Note, as applicable, in each case, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender for the account of its Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. If requested by the Swing Line Lender, the Swing Line Loans


shall be evidenced by a single Swing Line Note, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans. Each Lender having one or more Notes shall record the date, amount, Class and Type of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the applicable Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of any Note, endorse on the reverse side or on the schedule, if any, forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each outstanding Loan evidenced thereby; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement or any error in any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of such Borrower hereunder or under any such Note. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the applicable Borrower so to endorse each of its Notes and to attach to and make a part of each of its Notes a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.
(a)Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue standby or, subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “L/C Issuer,” commercial Letters of Credit for the account, and upon the request, of a Borrower (or jointly for the account of any Borrower, Parent or any Subsidiary) and in support of obligations of any Borrower, Parent or one or more Subsidiaries (including (x) obligations in respect of and in lieu of deposits or security guarantees in the ordinary course of business, (y) to provide support for performance, payment or appeal bonds, indemnity obligations or other surety, including, without limitation, workers compensation insurance and (z) for such other general corporate purposes as the L/C Issuer may agree in its reasonable discretion), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (c) below, and (B) to honor drawings under its Letters of Credit, and (ii) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent and any drawing thereunder in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) below; provided that, immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit, (ii) the Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount and (iii) with respect to each individual Revolving Lender, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding L/C Obligations plus its (other than the Swing Line Lender’s) Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount. Each request by a Borrower, Parent or a Subsidiary for the issuance or increase in the stated amount of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation such Borrower, Parent or such Subsidiary that the issuance or increase in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit 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, a Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly a Borrower may, during the period specified in clause (i)(A) above, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The Existing Letter of


(ii)No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the 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 a 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 Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall violate any Laws or one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $250,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit; (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or (E) a default of any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund under subsection (e)(iv) or (vi) below exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with any Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(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 the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.


(i)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the applicable Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto (or in such other form from time to time in use by the applicable L/C Issuer) (a “Letter of Credit Request”), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Request may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Request must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. at least four Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the 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 Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount 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; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the 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 L/C Issuer may require. If requested by the applicable L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall also submit a Letter of Credit Application on such L/C Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for the issuance or increase in the stated amount of a Letter of Credit. Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any L/C Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.
(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the applicable Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, the 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 IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower (or jointly for the account of any Borrower and Parent or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.
(iii)If a Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to 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 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 L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the 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 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 L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the 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 subsection (c)(i) or (ii) above 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 (x) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (y) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 are not then satisfied (for the avoidance of doubt, the provision of any such notice to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this clause (y) shall not relieve any Revolving Lender of its obligation to fund its share of any such Letter of Credit that is not extended, to the extent such Letter of Credit is drawn under the terms of this Agreement), and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
(iv)If any Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven (7) Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.
(d)Purchase and Sale of Letter of Credit Participation. Immediately upon the issuance by an L/C Issuer of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such L/C Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Participation Interest in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the Revolving Committed Amount (although any fronting fee payable under Section 2.11 shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, and the Lenders (other than such L/C Issuer) shall have no right to receive any portion of any such fronting fee) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 10.06, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the Participation Interests in all outstanding Letters of Credit and all L/C Obligations to reflect the adjusted Revolving Commitments of the assigning and assignee Lenders or of all Lenders having Revolving Commitments, as the case may be.


(ii)The applicable Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith to reimburse each L/C Issuer or each L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent for any amounts paid by such L/C Issuer upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, together with any and all reasonable charges and expenses which the L/C Issuer may pay or incur relative to such drawing. Such reimbursement payment shall be due and payable on the same day as the Honor Date if notice is received prior to 11:00 A.M. or the next Business Day after the Honor Date otherwise. In addition, such Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer interest, payable on demand, on any and all amounts not paid by such Borrower to the L/C Issuer when due under this subsection (e)(ii), for each day from and including the date when such amount becomes due to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, whether before or after judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. Each reimbursement and other payment to be made by such Borrower pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be made to the L/C Issuer in Federal or other funds immediately available to it at its address referred to in Section 10.02.
(iv)With respect to any L/C Disbursements that have not been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower when due under clauses (ii) and (iii) above (an “Unreimbursed Amount”), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share thereof and such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of such unreimbursed L/C Disbursement (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount). In such event, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an “L/C Borrowing” of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the next Business Day following the Honor Date in an aggregate amount in Dollars equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01(a), but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing), and each such Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be initially funded as a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount outstanding on the date notice is given. Any such notice given by the Administrative Agent given pursuant to this clause (iv) 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.


(vi)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by an L/C Borrowing pursuant to clauses (iv) and (v) above because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender (other than the relevant L/C Issuer), and each such Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such L/C Issuer, such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of such Unreimbursed Amount (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount) in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds. Such payment from the Revolving Lenders shall be due (i) at or before 1:00 P.M. on the date the Administrative Agent so notifies a Revolving Lender, if such notice is given at or before 10:00 A.M. on such date or (ii) at or before 10:00 A.M. on the next succeeding Business Day, together with interest on such amount for each day from and including the date of such drawing to but excluding the day such payment is due from such Revolving Lender at the Federal Funds Rate for such day (which funds the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable L/C Issuer). Each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer in respect of an Unreimbursed Amount shall constitute a payment in respect of its Participation Interest in the related Letter of Credit purchased pursuant to subsection (d) above. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer its pro rata share of any Unreimbursed Amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its pro rata share of any payment made under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no such Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer such other Lender’s pro rata share of any such payment. Upon payment in full of all amounts payable by a Lender under this clause (vi), such Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the L/C Issuer against the applicable Borrower to the extent of such Lender’s pro rata share of the related L/C Obligation so paid (including interest accrued thereon).
(vii)Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (iv) above and to make payments in respect of its Participation Interests in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to clause (vi) above 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 L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower 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 as a part of an L/C Borrowing pursuant to clause (iv) above is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the applicable Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making by a Revolving Lender of a Revolving Loan or a payment by a Revolving Lender of an amount in respect of its Participation Interest in Unreimbursed Amounts shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of such Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.


Lender (acting through the 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 greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the applicable L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or Participation Interest in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing as the case may be. Any payment made by any Lender after 3:00 P.M. on any Business Day shall be deemed for purposes of the preceding sentence to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (viii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to clause (i) above is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its pro rata share thereof (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount) on demand of the 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 Federal Funds Rate for such day. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.




(h)Role of L/C Issuers; Reliance. Each Revolving Lender and each Borrower agree that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the 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 Issuer, the Agents or their respective Related Parties or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any 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 and nonappealable judgment; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or L/C Document. Each Borrower 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 each Borrower’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 Issuer, the Agents or any of their respective Related Parties, or any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of subsection (g) of this Section 2.05; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have been caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent 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 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 L/C Issuer shall not be responsible 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. The L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.
(i)Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the UCP, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to Parent or any Borrower for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against Parent or any Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade – International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.


(ii)As between the applicable Borrower and each L/C Issuer, such Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts or omissions of or the misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (G) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the L/C Issuer, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the L/C Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder.
(iii)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by an L/C Issuer, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the L/C Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower or any other Loan Party. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify the L/C Issuer against any and all risks involved in the issuance of any Letter of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Loan Parties, including, without limitation, any and all risks, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future Government Acts. The L/C Issuer shall not, in any way, be liable for any failure by the L/C Issuer or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the control of the L/C Issuer.


(m)Resignation of an L/C Issuer. An L/C Issuer may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders and the Lead Borrower; provided, however, that any such resignation shall not affect the rights or obligations of the L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation. Upon any such resignation, the Lead Borrower shall (within 60 days after such notice of resignation) either appoint a successor or terminate the unutilized L/C Commitment of such L/C Issuer; provided, however, that, if the Lead Borrower elects to terminate such unutilized L/C Commitment, the Lead Borrower may at any time thereafter that the Revolving Commitments are in effect reinstate such L/C Commitment in connection with the appointment of another L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an L/C Issuer hereunder by a successor L/C Issuer, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer and the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from its obligations to issue Letters of Credit hereunder. The acceptance of any appointment as L/C Issuer hereunder by a successor L/C Issuer shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor shall be a party hereto and have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous L/C Issuer, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After the resignation of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the retiring L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(n)Reporting. Each L/C Issuer (other than the Administrative Agent) will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each month, the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or amendment, and the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and such L/C Issuer shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any L/C Disbursement, the date and amount of such L/C Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which a Borrower, as applicable, fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date and amount of such failure and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.


(a)Rate Options Applicable to Loans. Each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing, which shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans) shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as the applicable Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.02. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that such Borrower may not request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten separate Groups of Eurodollar Loans being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For this purpose, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether commencing on the same date, shall be considered separate Groups. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
(b)Rates Applicable to Loans. Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below, (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans, (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each day from the date such Loan is made as, or converted into, a Base Rate Loan until it becomes due or is converted into a Loan of any other Type, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the then Applicable Margin for Swing Line Loans.
(e)Determination and Notice of Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time when Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the “prime rate” used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. Any notice with respect to Eurodollar Loans shall, without the necessity of the Administrative Agent so stating in such notice, be subject to the provisions of the definition of “Applicable Margin” providing for adjustments in the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loans after the beginning of the Interest Period applicable thereto.


Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower (a “Notice of Extension/Conversion”) (which may be by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing), which notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the applicable Borrower, to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon on the third Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Extension/Conversion may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Notice of Borrowing applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000.

(i)Revolving Committed Amount. If on any date the aggregate Revolving Outstandings exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the applicable Borrower shall repay, and there shall become due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), on such date an aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans equal to such excess. If the outstanding Swing Line Loans have been repaid in full, the applicable Borrower shall prepay, and there shall become due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), Revolving Loans in such amounts as are necessary so that, after giving effect to the repayment of the Swing Line Loans and the repayment of Revolving Loans, the aggregate Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. If the outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans have been repaid in full, the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations so that, after giving effect to the repayment of Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans and the Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations pursuant to this subsection (i), the aggregate Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. In determining the aggregate Revolving Outstandings for purposes of this Agreement, L/C Obligations shall be reduced to the extent that they are Cash Collateralized as contemplated by this subsection (i). Each prepayment of Revolving Loans required pursuant to this subsection (i) shall be applied ratably among outstanding Revolving Loans based on the respective amounts of principal then outstanding. Each Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations required by this subsection (i) shall be applied ratably among L/C Obligations based on the respective amounts thereof then outstanding.


(B)with respect to all amounts paid by the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii) or (iv), except as may be otherwise specified in any Refinancing Amendment or Increase Joinder, as applicable (with respect to any Other Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, subject to such Refinancing Amendment or Increase Joinder, as applicable; provided that such Refinancing Amendment or Increase Joinder, as applicable, shall not provide for better than pro rata treatment for such Other Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, with respect of each other Class of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Other Term Loans), ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments; provided that, in the case of Section 2.09(c)(iii), at the Lead Borrower’s option, the Lead Borrower may apply a portion of such amounts to prepay outstanding Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.01(s) to the extent (x) such Indebtedness is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Loans and (y) a mandatory prepayment in respect of such Asset Disposition, Casualty or Condemnation is required under the terms of such other Indebtedness, in which case, the amount of prepayment required to be made with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii) shall be deemed to be the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii) and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such outstanding Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.01(s) and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii).


(e)Notices of Prepayments. Other than as specified in subsection (d) above, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Revolving Loan which is a Base Rate Loan, by 11:00 A.M. on the date of any voluntary prepayment hereunder and, in the case of any other Loan, by 11:00 A.M. at least three Business Days prior to the date of voluntary prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior to the date of voluntary prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans. Each notice of prepayment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit S, or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount to be prepaid, whether the Loan to be prepaid is a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan, whether the Loan to be prepaid is a Eurodollar Loan or a Base Rate Loan and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period of such Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share, if any, thereof. Once such notice is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable as specified therein. Subject to the foregoing, amounts prepaid under Section 2.09(a) shall be applied as the applicable Borrower may elect; provided that if such Borrower fails to specify the application of a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans, then, except as may be otherwise specified in any Refinancing Amendment, such prepayments shall be applied ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments. Amounts prepaid under Section 2.09(c) shall be applied as set forth therein. All prepayments of Eurodollar Loans under this Section 2.09 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
(f)Rejected Payments. In the event of any prepayment of any Term Loans of any Term Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii) (an “Applicable Prepayment”), such Lender may reject all, but not less than all, of its share of such Applicable Prepayment by written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such Term Lender’s receipt of notice of such Applicable Prepayment as otherwise provided herein (the “Rejection Deadline”). If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the Rejection Deadline, such Term Lender will be deemed to have accepted its share of the Applicable Prepayment. The aggregate portion of such Applicable Prepayment that is rejected by Term Lenders pursuant to Rejection Notices shall be referred to as the “Rejected Amount.” The Rejected Amount may be used by the Lead Borrower in any manner not prohibited by the Loan Documents.
(a)Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments (Pro rata). Each Borrower may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate the Revolving Committed Amount, as applicable, in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the full remaining amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed Amount)); provided that written or telecopy notice (which notice may be conditional on the receipt of other financing to the extent specified in such notice) shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. five Business Days prior to the date of reduction or termination; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be made which would cause the Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Revolving Committed Amount as so reduced, unless, concurrently with such termination or reduction, the Revolving Loans are repaid (and, after the Revolving Loans have been paid in full, the Swing Line Loans are repaid and, after the Swing Line Loans have been paid in full, the L/C


Obligations are Cash Collateralized) to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(a). Any partial reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders pro rata based upon their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. The applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount, any fees accrued through the date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount so terminated or reduced.
(i)Letter of Credit Fee. The applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit) computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Margin for Letter of Credit Fees in effect from time to time; provided, however, that 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 Section 2.05 shall instead be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account. The Letter of Credit Fee will be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first of such dates to occur after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.


(a)Loans. Each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Loan, each payment of fees (other than the L/C Issuer Fees retained by an L/C Issuer for its own account, and the administrative fees retained by the Agents for their own account), each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount and each conversion or continuation of any Loan, shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, Term Commitment Percentages, Other Revolving Commitment Percentage, Other Term Commitment Percentage, Incremental Revolving Commitment Percentage and Incremental Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of such Lenders (or, if the Commitments of such Lenders have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of the applicable Class and Participation Interests of such Lenders); provided that, in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this subsection (a) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.


Section 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 any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it or of its Participation Interests in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or such Participation Interests and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participation in the Loans and subparticipations in the Participation Interests in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans 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 principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing thereon; provided that:
(a)Payments by the Applicable Borrower. All payments to be made by any Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Each payment of principal of and interest on Loans, L/C Obligations and fees hereunder (other than fees payable directly to the L/C Issuer) shall be paid not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date when due, in Dollars and in Federal or other funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at the account designated by it by notice to the applicable Borrower. Payments received after 2:00 P.M. shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day, and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, distribute such payments to the applicable Lending Offices of the applicable Lenders on the date of receipt thereof, if such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M.; otherwise the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, distribute such payment to the applicable Lending Offices of the applicable Lenders on the date of receipt thereof or on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be), unless (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next


(b)Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice (which may be by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing) from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the applicable Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith, and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(f)Computations. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of Commitment Fees and 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). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which Loan is made (or converted or continued), 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 (or continued or converted) shall, subject to subsection (a) above, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.


(a)Increase in Commitments. Any Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to add one or more incremental term loan facilities hereunder (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”; the commitments thereunder are referred to as “Incremental Term Loan Commitments” and loans pursuant thereto “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or increase the Revolving Commitments (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Increase”; the commitments thereunder are referred to as “Incremental Revolving Commitments” and loans pursuant thereto “Incremental Revolving Loans”); the Incremental Term Facilities and the Incremental Revolving Increases are collectively referred to as “Incremental Facilities”); provided that the (1) total aggregate amount for all such Incremental Facilities (assuming, for the purposes of determining each of clauses (A) and (B), in the case of any Incremental Revolving Increase, the full amount thereof is drawn) shall not (as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed the sum of (A) $450,000,000 and (B) an amount such that, subject to Section 1.03(e), at the time of such incurrence and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis the Secured Leverage Ratio (calculated assuming (i) no proceeds of any such Incremental Facility shall be considered Unrestricted Cash and (ii) any amounts incurred under clause (A) concurrently with amounts incurred under clause (B) will not count as Indebtedness for the purposes of calculating the Secured Leverage Ratio in clause (B) at such time) is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 and (2) the total aggregate amount for each Incremental Facility shall not be less than a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000 or, if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (1). Each such notice shall specify (x) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which such Borrower proposes that the Incremental Facility shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (y) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom such Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Facility be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Facility may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such portion of the Incremental Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice shall be required in connection with the Incremental Revolving Increase provided pursuant to Amendment No. 1.


The Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Commitment, as applicable, in form attached hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Increase Joinder, all references in Loan Documents to Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Term Loans and unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments, respectively.
(d)Incremental Revolving Increases. On any Increase Effective Date on which an Incremental Revolving Increase is effective, the participations held by the Revolving Lenders in the L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans immediately prior to such increase will be reallocated so as to be held by the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Increase. If, on the date of an Incremental Revolving Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall prepay such Revolving Loans in accordance with this Agreement on the date of effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Increase (but such Borrower may finance such prepayment with a concurrent borrowing of Revolving Loans from the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Increase).


(a)Obligation to Cash Collateralize. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer (i) if the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Disbursement or (ii) if, as of the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding or there are any L/C Borrowings outstanding or there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, or as otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.05, Section 2.09(c), Section 2.17 or Section 8.02, the applicable Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or any applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Bank (in each case, with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all Fronting Exposure of such L/C Issuer or Swing Line Bank, as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto.
(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 Collateral Agent. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the applicable L/C Issuers and the applicable Lenders (including the applicable Swing Line Lenders), and agrees to 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 2.16(c). If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, or, if applicable, the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the applicable Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Collateral Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.


applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)) or (ii) the determination by the Collateral Agent 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 a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.


provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 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, such 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 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the applicable Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, such Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the sum of, without duplication, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any non-Defaulting Lender, plus such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. NoSubject to Section 10.17, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.


portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.17), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(a)At any time after the Closing Date, a Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Eligible Assignee, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (a) all or any portion of the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (b) all or any portion of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) and Incremental Revolving Loans (or unused Incremental Revolving Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (b) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Commitments), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion and such other changes as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.18 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) (A) not less than $25,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans or $10,000,000 in the case of Other Revolving Loans and (B) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or (y) such other amount as shall represent a refinancing of a Class of Loans in its entirety. Any Refinancing Amendment may, with the consent of the applicable L/C Issuers and Swing Line Lender, provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower, or the provision to such Borrower of Swing Line Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans under the Revolving Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect


such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and each applicable Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each L/C Issuer, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Termination Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such Participation Interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Other Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be Participation Interests in respect of such Other Revolving Commitments and the terms of such Participation Interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.
(a)Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of any Term Loans at a discount to par (such prepayment, a “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to an Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.19; provided that (i) Parent shall not make any Borrowing of Revolving Loans to fund any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, (ii) any Term Loans purchased are immediately cancelled, (iii) Parent or any Subsidiary, as applicable, does not have any material non-public information (“MNPI”) with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that (a) has not been disclosed to the Lenders (other than Lenders that do not wish to receive MNPI with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) prior to such time and (b) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to a Lender’s decision to participate in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, and (iv) as of the date Parent or its Subsidiary provides a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(iii)Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.19(d).

Each Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (d) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (w) Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (x) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Classes to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (y) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (z) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited


(f)If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (b) through (d) above, Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the applicable currency and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, Identified Participating Lenders, Qualifying Lenders or Identified Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.


Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor (A) at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, Discount Range Prepayment Response Date or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, as applicable or (B) if, as of such time, any condition set forth in Section 2.19(a) ceases to be met prior to the making of such Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and, in each case, such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses (A) or (B), any failure by Parent or its Subsidiary, as applicable, to make any prepayment to a Term Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or otherwise.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, unless otherwise required by law. If any applicable withholding agent shall be required by law to withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender Party or any Agent, (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make all such deductions, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) to the extent the deduction is on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after such withholding agent has made all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), such Lender Party (or, in the case of any amount received by an Agent for its own account, such Agent) shall have received an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(d)Indemnification by each Borrower. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender Party for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes payable in connection with any payments made by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. This indemnification shall be made within 10 days after written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by an Agent on its own behalf, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


(e)Treatment of Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund (in cash or as an offset against other Taxes otherwise due and payable) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 3.01, it shall pay to the applicable Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amount paid, by the Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, attributable to such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the applicable Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party is required to repay such amount to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
(i)Each Lender Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Each Lender Party shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documents required below in this Section 3.01(f)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so.


(iii)If a payment made to a Lender Party under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if the Lender Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law, and at such other time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Borrower, the documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine whether the Lender Party has complied with the Lender Party obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from the payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


the laws of Ireland from a payment of interest by any Irish Borrower under a Loan Document if (i) on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender Party without a Tax Deduction if the Lender Party was an Irish Qualifying Lender but, on that date, the Lender Party is not or has ceased to be an Irish Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender Party under a Loan Document in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant tax authority, or (ii) the relevant Lender Party is a Treaty Lender and the applicable Irish Borrower is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender Party without the Tax Deduction had the Treaty Lender complied with its obligations under Section 3.01(f)(ix); provided, however, that (A) if a Lender Party assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee Lender Party (or designates a new Lending Office), and at the date of such assignment or transfer (or designation of a new Lending Office) an Irish Borrower would be obliged to make an increased payment to such assignor Lender Party under Section 3.01(a), then such assignee Lender Party shall be entitled to receive increased payments under Section 3.01(a) from such Irish Borrower to the same extent such assignor Lender Party would have been entitled to if the assignment or transfer (or designation of new Lending Office) had not occurred; (B) the applicable Irish Borrower shall be required to make increased payments under Section 3.01(a) to a Lender Party that is an assignee pursuant to a request by the applicable Borrower under Section 3.07, and (C) the applicable Irish Borrower shall be required to make increased payments to a Lender Party under Section 3.01(a) with respect to any Taxes arising as a result of an Irish Borrower failing to comply with its obligations under Section 3.01(f)(ix).


(iv)Any reference in this Section 3.01(g) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).
Section 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 Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans 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 Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of 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 Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower 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 Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender 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 Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of


the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the 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 Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender or any Designated Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender or its applicable Designated Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (ii) to fund or maintain its participation in any Loan or (iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension to any Borrower who is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, a State thereof or the District of Columbia, such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying Parent, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable Law, cancelled. Upon receipt of such notice, the Loan Parties shall, (A) to the extent required by Law to be repaid, repay that Person’s participation in the Loans or other applicable Finance Obligations on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan or other Finance Obligation occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified Parent or, if earlier, the date specified by such Person in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by applicable Law) and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person to mitigate or avoid such illegality.
Section 3.03    Inability To Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause (a) (i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar 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. Upon receipt of such notice, the Lead Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.


Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower written notice thereof.
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, 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, as the case may be, hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower will 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 L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender, any of its applicable Lending Offices or its holding company or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, regarding capital and liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital for such Lender or its holding company or such L/C Issuer or its 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 or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its holding company’s policies or


(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies such Borrower 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 nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 3.05    Compensation for Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating such compensation, the applicable Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within ten days) after such demand compensate 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 Eurodollar Rate 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 the applicable Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower; or (c) any assignment of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.07(b) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, including, in each case, 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; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate any Lender under this Section for any loss of anticipated profits in respect of any of the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower to the Lenders under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (excluding the impact of the proviso set forth in the “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” definition) for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with each request for compensation by any Lender the applicable Borrower shall also pay such Lender with respect to each affected Eurodollar Rate Loan customary administrative fees requested by such Lender in an amount not to exceed $250 per such Eurodollar Rate Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender that is a lender under the Existing Credit Agreement shall demand, and such Borrower shall not be obligated to make, any funding loss payments pursuant to this Section 3.05 or Section 3.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement with respect to the repayment of outstanding loans on the Closing Date pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement.


Section 3.06    Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Eurodollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or to, Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 3.04 with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, and in any such case the applicable Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies such Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or converted to) Eurodollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders). If such Lender notifies such Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Eurodollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders.
(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Credit Extension to any Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of any such Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If at any time (i) any Lender requires a Borrower to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 or (iii) any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, at the request of such Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, and (B) in each case, would not subject such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be. Each Borrower, as applicable, hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)Replacement of Lenders. If at any time (i) a Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (iii) any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (v) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, and, in the case of clause (i), (ii), or (iii), such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.07(a), then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender (and such Lender shall be obligated) to assign pursuant to Section 10.06(b) (with the processing and recording fee under Section 10.06(b)(iii) to be paid by such Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that:


In connection with any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, if any such Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 10.06(b) reflecting such assignment within five Business Days of the date on which the applicable assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Defaulting Lender or non-Consenting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of such Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, whereupon such assignment shall become effective upon payment to such Lender of all amounts owing to such Lender under clause (B) above (which amounts shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error) and compliance with the other applicable requirements pursuant to Section 10.06(b).


(a)Executed Loan Documents. Receipt by the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) of duly executed counterparts from each party thereto of: (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Notes (to the extent requested), (iii) the Guaranty Agreement and (iv) the U.S. Security Agreement and (v) the Foreign Collateral Documents. Each of the aforementioned documents shall be originals or telecopies (followed promptly by originals) unless otherwise specified, each properly executed by a Responsible Officer of the signing Loan Party (and in respect of any Loan Party incorporated in Ireland, by the requisite number of Responsible Officers and in accordance with the requirements of each such Loan Party’s Organization Documents), each dated the Closing Date (or, in the case of certificates of governmental officials, a recent date before the Closing Date) and each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders.
(b)Organization Documents. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Administrative Agent shall have received: (i) a copy of the Organization Documents, including all amendments thereto, of each Loan Party, certified as of a recent date by the Secretary of State or other applicable Governmental Authority of its respective jurisdiction of organization to the extent applicable; (ii) a certificate as to the good standing (or comparable status) of each Loan Party from such Secretary of State or other applicable Governmental Authority of its respective jurisdiction of organization, as of a recent date; provided that to the extent a certificate of good standing (or comparable status) is not applicable in the jurisdiction of any Loan Party that is a Foreign Subsidiary, such Loan Party shall provide an Officer’s Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (iii) a certificate of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or other applicable Responsible Officer of each Loan Party dated the Closing Date and certifying (A) that the Organization Documents of such Loan Party have not been amended since the date of the last amendment thereto shown on the certificate of good standing or comparable status from its jurisdiction of organization furnished pursuant to clause (ii) above (to the extent applicable in the relevant Loan Party’s jurisdiction) and remains in full force and effect; (B) that attached thereto is a true and complete copy of the Organization Documents as in effect on the Closing Date and at all times since the date of the resolutions described in clause (C) below or certifying that such Organization Documents have not been amended since such date, (C) that attached thereto is a true and complete copy of resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors (or equivalent governing body) of such Loan Party authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is to be a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, the borrowings hereunder, and that such resolutions have not been modified, rescinded or amended and are in full force and effect and are the only resolutions authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents; and (D) as to the incumbency and specimen signature of each Responsible Officer executing any Loan Document; and (iv) a certificate of another officer as to the incumbency and specimen signature of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or other applicable Responsible Officer executing the certificate pursuant to clause (iii) above.






Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary it is understood that, to the extent any security interest in the Collateral (other than (1) any Collateral the security interest in which may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement, (2) with respect to the U.S. Borrower and the Domestic Guarantors by intellectual property filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or (3) by the delivery of certificates representing the Equity Interests of (x) the U.S. Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries and (y) the Irish Borrowers) is not perfected or, with respect to (a) any Mortgages, (b) any Collateral, the pledge of which requires a filing in any Non-U.S. jurisdiction (other than Ireland), and (c) any Foreign Collateral Documents (other than those governed by the laws of Ireland), are not provided on the Closing Date after Parent’s and the Borrowers’ use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the perfection or provision of such security interest will not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the initial Loans and other Credit Extensions on the Closing Date, but the Borrowers and Parent agree to perfect such security interest no later than 90 days after the Closing Date (subject to extension by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).
(b)Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of each Borrower and the other Loan Parties contained in Article V of this Agreement and in any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any Compliance Certificate furnished at any time under or in connection herewith, shall be (i) in the case of representations and warranties qualified by “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, true and correct in all respects and (ii) in the case of all other representations and warranties, true and correct in all material respects, in each case on and as of the date of such Credit Extension, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct on the basis set forth above as of such earlier date. The representations and warranties contained in subsection (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished after the Closing Date pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are to be used to consummate a Limited Condition Acquisition and to the extent agreed to by lenders providing such Incremental Facility, the requirement that the representations and warranties in this Agreement and in any other Loan Documents be true and correct shall be limited to customary “specified representations” to be agreed upon with the lenders providing such Incremental Facility.

Credit Obligations, or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all Senior Credit Obligations, its Pro rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed, (ii) an amount equal to the Swap Obligations being paid to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) for the Swap Creditors, with each Swap Creditor receiving an amount equal to the outstanding Swap Obligations owed to it by the Loan Parties or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Swap Obligations, its Pro rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed (iii) an amount equal to the Cash Management Obligations being paid to Cash Management Banks, with each Cash Management Bank receiving an amount equal to the outstanding Cash Management Obligations it entered into with a Loan Party or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such obligations, its Pro rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Finance Parties shall receive an amount equal to its Pro rata Share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses THIRD, FOURTH and FIFTH above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause FIFTH above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by a Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.16, such amounts shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to reimburse the L/C Issuer from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clause FIFTH above in the manner provided in this Section 8.03.

If any payment to any Finance Party of its Pro rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Finance Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Finance Parties, with each Finance Party whose Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case may be, of such Finance Party and the denominator of which is the unpaid Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case may be, of all Finance Parties entitled to such distribution.


(d)Reliance by Collateral Agent. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 8.03, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and (ii) the Representative, if any, for the Swap Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent, each Representative for any Swap Creditor and the Finance Parties agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Senior Credit Obligations and Swap Obligations owed to the Agents, the Lenders or the Swap Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from a Swap Creditor or any Representatives thereof) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Swap Agreements are in existence.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “Collateral Agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Swap Creditor and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the 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 Finance Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “Collateral Agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 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 IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(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.

Any Lender may make any Credit Extension to any Borrower by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender that is an Eligible Assignee to make such Credit Extension.
Section 9.03    Exculpatory Provisions.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Agents, the Additional Agents, the Lead ArrangerArrangers, the Amendment No. 1 Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners:
(ii)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 such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number of percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law; and


No Agent shall 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 the Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term us used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
Section 9.04    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.


Section 9.06    Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand each Agent Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Borrower and without limiting the obligations of any Loan Party to do so) on a pro rata basis (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each Lender’s ratable share at such time) and hold harmless each Agent Related Person against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that (a) no Lender shall be liable for payment to any Agent Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct (and no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lender shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section) and (b) to the extent any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender is entitled to indemnification under this Section solely in its capacity and role as an L/C Issuer or as a Swing Line Lender, as applicable, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to indemnify such L/C Issuer or such Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof at such time).

Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights and responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such costs or expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.

Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, 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 Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that in no event shall an such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender.

The fees payable by the Lead Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Lead Borrower and such successor.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note or Notes 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 10.06.
(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall record each transfer of the Loans to a transferee upon written notification by the registered owner of such transfer, provided, however, that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments in respect of any Loan. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the 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 each Borrower, the L/C Issuer, the Collateral Agent, the Swing Line Lender and, with respect to its own interest only, any other Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, Parent or any of its 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 and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.


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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 or 3.04, and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that any documentation required under Section 3.01(f) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation on or before the date on which such sale occurs) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.07 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at each Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with each Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.07 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that 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 applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) 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 to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Credit Extensions or other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that any such Commitment, Credit Extension or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.


(g)Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other Notices of Borrowing, Swing Line Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.
(i)No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the applicable Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the applicable Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this clause (h)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (h) shall apply.
(ii)If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the applicable Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Revolving Commitment; provided that proceeds of Revolving Loans may not be used for such purpose, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder; provided that proceeds of Revolving Loans may not be used for such purpose


(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Bankruptcy Laws (a “Bankruptcy Plan”), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Bankruptcy Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Bankruptcy Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Bankruptcy Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Bankruptcy Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Bankruptcy Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the court hearing such proceeding (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).
Section 10.07    Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (collectively, “Representatives”) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any Governmental Authority or regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws 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) to any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating any Lender, (g) (i) any rating agency, and (ii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (x) any assignee of or Participant in (or their Representatives, 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), or any prospective assignee of or Participant in (or their Representatives, 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) any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Representatives, 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) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Parent or any Borrower and their respective obligations, (h) with the consent of the Lead Borrower, (i) 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 the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower or (j) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers of other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided herein. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries relating to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from Parent or any of its Subsidiary after the date hereofClosing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Section 10.08    Right of Setoff. 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, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the then due and owing obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party, as applicable, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (x) such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or (y) are owed to a branch or office or Affiliate of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the


Section 10.09    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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Senior Credit Obligations hereunder.
Section 10.10    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, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Fee Letter shall survive the Closing Date. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 10.11    Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents, the L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, or incorrect representation or warranty at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Discharge of Senior Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations). The provisions of Sections 2.14, 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04, and Sections 10.10 through 10.16 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the Reimbursement Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in such Federal court.

(d)Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than telecopier) in Section 10.02.
