Section 1.09. Cumulative Credit Transactions. If more than one action occurs on any given date the permissibility of the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the amount of the Cumulative Credit immediately prior to the taking of such action, the permissibility of the taking of each such action shall be determined independently and in no event may any two or more such actions be treated as occurring simultaneously.

Section 1.10. Pro Forma Calculations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.10; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 1.10, when calculating the Total Leverage Ratio for purposes of the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow, the events described in this Section 1.10 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect (provided, further, that the foregoing limitation will not be constituted to limit the deductibility of any amounts that are committed to be made or paid or are reasonably expected to be paid in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow for any period as provided for in the definition of Excess Cash Flow).

(b) For purposes of calculating the Total Leverage Ratio, Specified Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.10, then the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.10.

(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Senior Financial Officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, Cost Savings to the extent permitted by, and subject to the requirements of, clause (a)(viii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all pro forma adjustments under this clause (c) shall not, taken together with those added pursuant to clause (a)(viii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”, increase pro forma Consolidated EBITDA by more than 5% for any Test Period (calculated prior to giving effect to any addback pursuant to this clause (c) or clause (a)(viii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”).

(d) In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of the Total Leverage Ratio (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes and not incurred in reliance on Section 7.03(t)), (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period of the Total Leverage Ratio. Interest on a Capitalized Lease shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a London interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary may designate.

(e) Whenever any provision of this Agreement requires the Borrower to have a Total Leverage Ratio on a Pro Forma Basis in connection with any action to be taken by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations demonstrating such compliance or such Total Leverage Ratio.

Section 1.11. Certain Accounting Matters. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, (a) without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 or Accounting Standards Codification 000-00-00 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein; and (b) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 and/or Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 150 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. Furthermore, unless the Borrower elects otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Loan Document, for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including negative covenants, financials covenants and component definitions, operating leases and Capitalized Leases will be deemed to be treated in a manner consistent with their current treatment under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2018, notwithstanding any modifications or interpretive changes thereto that may occur thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, the principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Borrower dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as expressly set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 1.11.

Section 1.12. Classification of Loans and Borrowings. For purposes of this Agreement, Loans may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Tranche B-2 Term Loan”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Loan”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Term Loan”). Borrowings also may be classified and referred to by Class (e.g., a “Term Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a “Eurodollar Term Borrowing”).

Section 1.13. Currency Equivalents Generally.

(a) For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.05, 7.06, 7.08, 7.09 and 7.13 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness, Lien, Asset Sale, Restricted Payment, Capital Expenditure, affiliate transaction, Contractual Obligation, prepayment of Indebtedness or Investment 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 currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder) and once incurred or made, the amount of such Indebtedness, Lien, Asset Sale, Restricted Payment, Capital Expenditure, affiliate transaction, Contractual Obligation, prepayment of Indebtedness or Investment, shall be always deemed to be at the Dollar amount on such date, regardless of later changes in currency exchange rates.

(b) For purposes of determining the Total Leverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the Borrower’s financial statements corresponding to the Test Period with respect to the applicable date of determination and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Swap Contracts permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.

Section 1.14. Effect of Amendment and Restatement. On the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety in the form hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that except as modified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents delivered on the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement and all Loan Documents thereunder (collectively, together with the Existing Credit Agreement, the “Existing Loan Documents”) are hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed on behalf of the parties hereto and thereto on the date hereof, and the Obligations thereunder shall be amended and completely restated hereby, but this Agreement shall not constitute a novation, extinguishment or substitution of such Obligations or in any way impair the Liens created pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents or affect the priority thereof, all of which are hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed.

ARTICLE 2 THE CREDITS

Section 2.01. Tranche B-2 Term Loan Commitments.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Tranche B-2 Term Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Tranche B-2 Term Loan to the Borrower on the Restatement Effective Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Tranche B-2 Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Tranche B-2 Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.02. Loans.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (except, with respect to any Other Term Loans, to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.08 and 3.02 each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan to such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than five Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time plus up to an additional 3 Interest Periods in respect of each (i) [reserved], (ii) Extended Term Loans and (iii) Other Term Loans, provided that the total number of such additional Interest Periods does not exceed 15 at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Tranche B-2 Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Restatement Effective Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and upon receipt of all requested funds the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Request for Credit Extension.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or, in the case of the extension of credit on the Restatement Effective Date, prior to the proposed Borrowing), and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each such Request for Credit Extension shall be irrevocable (but may be conditioned upon the prepayment of indebtedness or the consummation of a specified transaction) and shall specify the following information: (i) the Class of Loans to be borrowed and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Request for Credit Extension, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11 (or, in the case of Extended Term Loans or Other Term Loans, as provided for in the applicable Extension Offer, Refinancing Amendment or other governing documentation).

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms and (ii) in the event of any conflict between the accounts set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the amounts set forth in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) shall prevail.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a Term Note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in accordance with Section 10.04. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive a Term Note, the interests represented by such Term Note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns, unless such Term Note is duly cancelled.

(f) This Section 2.04 shall at all times be interpreted and administered in such a way that the Term Notes will be issued in “registered form” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.163-1(a).

Section 2.05. Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative agent fees applicable to the Facilities payable in the amounts and at the times agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent as set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter (the “Fees”).

(b) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.06. Interest on Loans.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.07. Default Interest. Automatically from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) or at the election of the Required Lenders during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter, after as well as before judgment, bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws) payable on written demand at a rate that is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for ABR Loans); provided that in the case of Eurodollar Term Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective, if such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall become ABR Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(e), such Loans shall thereafter bear interest payable upon written demand at a rate which is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for ABR Loans.

Section 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the majority of Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have revoked such notice, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Term Loan Commitment for the Tranche B-2 Term Loan in effect on the Restatement Effective Date shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans on the Restatement Effective Date.

(b) Upon at least one Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, any Class of unfunded Term Loan Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of any Class of Term Loan Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000; provided further that, a notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the consummation of an acquisition or sale transaction or upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or any other specified event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(c) Each reduction in the Term Loan Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments.

Section 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the day of any conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) [reserved];

(ii) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(iii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(b) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(i) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.04;

(c) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, unless agreed by all applicable Lenders;

(d) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; and

(e) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.

Each such Request for Credit Extension shall (except as set forth herein) be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such Request for Credit Extension requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such Request for Credit Extension with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any Request for Credit Extension and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings.

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Term Lenders on the Maturity Date for such Tranche B-2 Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche B-2 Term Loans outstanding on such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. Upon the conversion of Tranche B-2 Term Loans to Extended Term Loans or the refinancing of Tranche B-2 Term Loans with Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, all scheduled amortization payments, if any, shall be reduced ratably by the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans so converted, refinanced or replaced. The Borrower shall repay Extended Term Loans and Other Term Loans in such amounts and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the applicable Extension Offer, Refinancing Amendment or other governing documentation.

(b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans (including, for avoidance of doubt, Term Loans that are not Tranche B-2 Term Loans) shall be due and payable on the applicable Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

(c) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 3.04, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

Section 2.12. Voluntary Prepayment.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written (email) notice in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written (email) notice at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,500,000.

(b) Except as may otherwise be set forth in any Extension Offer or any Refinancing Amendment, voluntary prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, however, that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the consummation of an acquisition or sale transaction or upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or any other specified event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied (provided, that the provisions of Section 3.04 shall apply to any prepayment that is not made as a result of the failure of such condition). All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.12(d) (to the extent applicable) and Section 3.04 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

(d) In the event that, (i) the Borrower voluntarily prepays any Tranche B-2 Term Loans, (ii) the Borrower makes any mandatory prepayment of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.13(a)(ii), 2.13(a)(iii), 2.13(a)(iv) or 2.13(a)(v), (iii) a Term Lender is deemed a Non-Consenting Lender and must assign its Tranche B-2 Term Loans pursuant to Section 3.06(a) or (iv) the Tranche B-2 Term Loans are accelerated, then in each case, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the date of such prepayment, assignment or acceleration, for the ratable account of each applicable Term Lender, a prepayment premium equal to (x) 3% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Tranche B-2 Term Loans being prepaid, accelerated or assigned if such prepayment, acceleration or assignment occurs after the Restatement Effective Date but prior to the first anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, (y) 2% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Tranche B-2 Term Loans being prepaid, accelerated or assigned if such prepayment or assignment occurs on or after the first but prior to the second anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date and (z) 1% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Tranche B-2 Term Loans being prepaid, accelerated or assigned if such prepayment, acceleration or assignment occurs on or after the second but prior to the third anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date (the foregoing premiums, the “Prepayment Premium”); provided that (A) for the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Premium shall be payable on or following the third anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date and (B) the Prepayment Premium shall not apply to mandatory prepayments of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(ii) that do not exceed $100,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Tranche B-2 Term Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Prepayment Premium applicable with respect to a voluntary prepayment of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans will also be due and payable on the date of such acceleration or such other prior due date as though the Tranche B-2 Term Loans were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Term Lender’s loss as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Term Lender and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Term Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.

Section 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) (i) Within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (x) 90 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period and (y) the date on which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) (commencing with the Excess Cash Flow Period ended December 31, 2019) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the Excess Cash Flow Period covered or required to have been covered by such financial statements minus (B) the sum of (1) all voluntary prepayments of principal of Term Loans (including the amount of cash used to make all debt buybacks and repurchases pursuant to Section 10.04(k)) and (2) all voluntary prepayments of loans under the ABL Facility during such fiscal year to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the commitments under the ABL Facility and, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (1) and (2), to the extent such prepayments are funded with Internally Generated Cash; provided that, the amount of prepayment required under this Section 2.13(a)(i) shall be reduced to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) after giving effect to such prepayment, the sum of (a) the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under the ABL Credit Agreement that would not result in a Financial Covenant Trigger Period under the ABL Facility (or any similar term under any replacement ABL Facility) plus (b) the aggregate amount of cash and Cash Equivalents of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any cash or Cash Equivalents appearing on the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as “restricted” (or with a like designation)) would be less than $200,000,000 and (y) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make any such prepayments described in this Section 2.13(a)(i) (and no Default or Event of Default shall arise as a result of such nonpayment) to the extent such payment would otherwise constitute a violation or breach of the ABL Credit Agreement in respect of minimum liquidity requirements (as in effect on the date hereof in respect of such restriction, or as otherwise modified, supplemented or amended in a manner not adverse to the Lenders).

(ii)    If (1) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any Real Property or Disposes of any other property or assets pursuant to Section 7.05 (j), (l) or (t) or under any transaction that would be prohibited by Section 7.05 (other than (x) so long as the ABL Credit Agreement is in effect, any Disposition of ABL Priority Collateral and (y) leases of Real Property entered into in the ordinary course of business (excluding Sale and Leaseback Transactions)), or (2) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds (or, in the case of any Disposition of, or Sale and Leaseback Transaction, with respect to Real Property, 100% of the Real Property Disposition Proceeds) realized or received.

(iii)    If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness after the Restatement Effective Date (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.03 (other than any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness)), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after (or, in the case of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, one Business Day after) the receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds.

(iv)    If the Borrower issues any Alternative Incremental Indebtedness or any Subordinated Indebtedness after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 33% of all Net Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Borrower of such Net Proceeds.

(v)    If the Borrower issues any Equity Interests after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 50% of all Net Equity Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Borrower of such Net Equity Proceeds; provided, that the Borrower shall only be required to apply up to $30,000,000 in the aggregate of Net Equity Proceeds pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(v).

(b) Except as may otherwise be set forth in any Extension Offer, any Refinancing Amendment, any Permitted Repricing Amendment or any other governing documentation, each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding; provided, that any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to the parenthetical in Section 2.13(a)(iii) shall be applied solely to each applicable Class of Refinanced Debt.

(c) With respect to each Class of Term Loans, each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, subject to Section 2.13(d). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.13(c) is applicable to any prepayment made with the Net Proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.

(d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13(a) by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such estimated prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all of its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.13(a) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to after the date of such prepayment; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made with proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, agree to an extension of time for such failure to be corrected. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower.

(e) Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment and shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 3.04. All prepayments under Section 2.13(a)(iii) shall be subject to Section 2.12(d) (to the extent applicable). Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of Section 2.13(a), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans is required to be made under Section 2.13(a) prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder (including accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period) into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.13. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(a).

(f) Foreign Dispositions; Foreign Excess Cash Flow. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.13, (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (“Foreign Disposition”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are (x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law or (y) restricted by applicable organizational or constitutive documents or any agreement, from being repatriated to the United States, in each case the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.13 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts (as determined in the Borrower’s reasonable business judgment) to otherwise cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law, applicable organizational or constitutive document impediment to permit such repatriation), and if within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, applicable organizational or constitutive document impediment, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than 5 Business Days after such repatriation could be made) applied (net of additional taxes, costs and expenses payable or reserved against as a result thereof) (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or Foreign Subsidiary Excess Cash Flow could cause adverse tax consequences to the Borrower, such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

Section 2.14. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 3.02, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans); provided that the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

Section 2.15. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower as to which the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall apply (provided, that if the applicable payment, assignment, sale or participation to the Borrower is expressly permitted under Section 10.04, the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation. For the avoidance of doubt, neither this Section nor Section 2.14 shall limit the ability of the Borrower to (i) purchase and retire Term Loans pursuant to an open market purchase or a  Dutch Auction or (ii) pay principal, fees, premiums and interest with respect to Other Term Loans following the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment or any Extension Offer, as applicable, on a basis different from the Loans of such Class that will continue to be held by Lenders that were not Extending Lenders or Lenders pursuant to such Refinancing Amendment, as applicable.

Section 2.16. Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts due and payable) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

Section 2.17. [Reserved].

Section 2.18. Refinancing Amendments.

(a)    At any time after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Additional Debt) in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement, in the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that (A) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (B) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will have such pricing, fees, interest, premiums and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof (provided, that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment), (C) such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will have a maturity date later than the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Refinanced Debt, (D) the covenants, events of default and guarantees of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, if not consistent with the terms of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans, shall be on customary market terms for Indebtedness of such type (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) ((provided, that the financial maintenance covenant on the then outstanding Term Loans shall be amended to provide the Lenders the benefit of any financial maintenance covenant of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that is in addition to or more restrictive in any material manner than the financial maintenance covenant on the then outstanding Term Loans)), (E) the proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Term Loans being so refinanced and (F) other than in the case of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness the proceeds of which are applied to pay all outstanding Term Loans and other Obligations in full in cash, the Borrower shall have obtained the consent of the Required Lenders. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (and for purposes thereof the incurrence of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a Request for Credit Extension) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, receipt by the Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and a solvency certification or representation, in each case materially consistent with those delivered on the Restatement Effective Date under Section 4.02 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), and customary reaffirmation agreements. Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.18(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $40,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment.

(b)    Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Refinancing Amendment, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the Latest Maturity Date after giving effect to such Refinancing Amendment so that such maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Collateral Agent).

(c)    This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14, 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary.

Section 2.19. Extensions of Term Loans.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of a Class of Term Loans with a like Maturity Date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans of such Class with the same Maturity Date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower may from time to time with the consent of any Lender that shall have accepted such offer extend the maturity date of any Term Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans of such Lender pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans as so extended, as well as the group of original Term Loans not so extended, being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted and a separate Class of Term Loans), so long as the following terms are satisfied (or waived): (i) no Event of Default shall exist at the time the notice in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, and no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Extended Term Loans, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, AHYDO “catch up” payments, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms and conditions that are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the lenders or investors providing such Extended Term Loans as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date and the amortization schedule, if any, applicable to Term Loans for periods prior to the then applicable Latest Maturity Date may not be increased, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, (v) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Term Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Term Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.

(b)    With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.19.

(c)    Each of the parties hereto hereby (A) agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended to give effect to each Extension (an “Extension Amendment”), without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.11 with respect to any Class of Term Loans subject to an Extension to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.11), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Sections 2.12 and 2.13 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly and irrevocably, for the benefit of all parties hereto, authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment and (B) consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of interest, fees or premiums in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment). Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the Latest Maturity Date after giving effect to such Extension (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Collateral Agent).

(d)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may reasonably be agreed by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.19.

(e)    This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14, 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary.

ARTICLE 3 TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01. Taxes.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments made by or on account of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document to any Lender or Agent shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, withholdings (including backup withholding), fees or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority including interest, penalties and additions to tax (collectively “Taxes”), excluding (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, however denominated, and franchise (and similar) Taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income Taxes, (ii) Taxes attributable to the failure by the relevant Lender or Agent to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 3.01, (iii) Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of any connection between such Lender or Agent and such jurisdiction other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being a party to, engaging in any transactions pursuant to, performing its obligations under, or enforcing any Loan Document, (iv) any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States or any similar Tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Borrower or any Guarantor (as appropriate) is located, (v) any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed on amounts payable hereunder pursuant to a law in effect at such time the Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 3.06), or designates a new lending office, except in each case to the extent such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 3.01 and (vi) any Tax imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded Taxes imposed on such payments, being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Borrower, any Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), if the Borrower or any Guarantor is the applicable withholding agent, the applicable withholding agent shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence acceptable to such Agent or Lender.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes, or charges or levies of the same character, imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Agent or Lender’s Assignment and Acceptance, grant of a Participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable lending office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “Assignment Taxes”) except for Assignment Taxes resulting from assignment or participation that is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Without duplication of Section 3.01(a) or (b), the Borrower and each Guarantor agree to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Agent or Lender (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and (ii) any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides Borrower or Guarantor with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts.

(d) Each Lender and Agent shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender or Agent to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Each such Lender and Agent shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to withholding tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this clause (d) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. In addition, each Lender and Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Agent is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the foregoing:

(i) Each Lender and Agent that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) is exempt from federal backup withholding.

(ii) Each Lender and Agent that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)    two properly completed and duly signed executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code,

(B)    two properly completed and duly signed executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms) and, in the case of an Agent, a withholding certificate that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.1441-1(e)(3)(v) as applicable to a U.S. branch that has agreed to be treated as a U.S. person for withholding tax purposes,

(C)    in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1, G-2, G-3 or G-4, as applicable (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, or

(D)    to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a participant holding a participation granted by a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner). Each Lender and Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further executed copies of any previously delivered form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is unable to do so. Each Lender and Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certification to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Lender or Agent claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall use its reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its lending office (or take any other measures reasonably requested by the Borrower) if such a change or other measures would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the reasonable, good faith determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its reasonable, good faith discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section) it shall promptly remit such refund to the Borrower or Guarantor, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any Taxes payable by any Agent or Lender on such interest); provided that the Borrower and Guarantors, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agree promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. This section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender or Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent 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 or Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Agent has complied with such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Each Lender shall indemnify each Agent, within 10 days following written demand therefor, for (i) the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that such Agent has not already been indemnified by the Borrower and each Guarantor for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and each Guarantor to do so), and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provision of Section 10.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case, that are payable or paid by such Agent in connection with any Loan Documents, and any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that such Agent provides such lender with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts.

Section 3.02. Illegality. If 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 Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall promptly following written demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all applicable Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.04. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 3.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Loans.

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the Restatement Effective Date, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any material increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans, or a material reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.03(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts are payable pursuant to Section 3.01, or any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under exception (iii) thereof to the extent such Taxes are imposed on or measured by net income or profits or are franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of the foregoing taxes) and any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under exceptions (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) thereof or (ii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.03(c) or reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligations to make any Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after written demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such written demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.05), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Restatement Effective Date, or compliance by such Lender (or its lending office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon written demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such written demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.05), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or controlling entity for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written demand.

(c) Except to the extent already reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each applicable Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of any Eurodollar Loans of the Borrower, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give written notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such written notice.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.03, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.03(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(a), (b), (c) or (d).

Section 3.04. Funding Losses. Promptly following written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of:

(i) any continuation or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, or any payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

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

including an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (1) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such event for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (2) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such event for such period, but excluding (a) loss of anticipated profits, and (b) any loss, cost or expense resulting from Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts are payable pursuant to Section 3.01, or any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under Section 3.01.

Section 3.05. Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable and customary averaging and attribution methods.

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.02 or 3.03, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.03, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any applicable Eurodollar Loan, or, if applicable, to convert ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.05(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurodollar Loan, or to convert ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.05(b) hereof, such Lender’s applicable Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans (or, if such conversion is not possible, repaid) on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02 or 3.03 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s applicable Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans; and

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued instead as ABR Loans (if possible), and all ABR Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as ABR Loans.

(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02 or 3.03 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of any of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 3.05 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders under the applicable Facility are outstanding, if applicable, such Lender’s ABR Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Loans under such Facility and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments for the applicable Facility.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to have been adopted or made after the Restatement Effective Date, regardless of the date enacted or adopted.

Section 3.06. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.03 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make any Eurodollar Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 or (ii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (x) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.04(b) (unless otherwise agreed, with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) (it being understood that any such assignment shall become effective only in accordance with Section 10.04(e)), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (in respect of any applicable Facility only in the case of clause (i) or, with respect to a Class vote, clause (ii)) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to, and shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of, the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents; or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided that in the case of any such termination of a Non-Consenting Lender, such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents and such termination shall be in respect of any applicable Facility only in the case of clause (i) or, with respect to a Class vote, clause (ii).

(b) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each Lender, each directly and adversely affected Lender, each Lender with respect to a certain Class of Loans or each directly and adversely affected Lender with respect to a certain Class of Loans, in each case in accordance with Section 10.08, and (iii) the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a consent, waiver or amendment involving all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders of a certain Class, the Required Class Lenders) have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

(c) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.06(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender’s applicable Commitment and outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Term Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Term Note executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with Article 9.

Section 3.07. Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE 9 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article 9, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental or related thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, including any amendment or supplement expressly contemplated thereby and (y) upon the incurrence of any Permitted Second Priority Additional Debt, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender.

The institution serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. The Agents shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any Loan Party that is communicated or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any of their Affiliates in any capacity.

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no action nor any omission to act, taken by either Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number of percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof, conspicuously labeled as a “notice of default” and specifically describing such Default, is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither 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 any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

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 believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties (other than Disqualified Lenders). The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties (other than Disqualified Lenders) of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the arrangement of the Facilities as well as activities as Agent.

Either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower in writing, and either Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and such Agent and signed by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g)), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g))) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after (i) the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or (ii) the Required Lenders delivers removal instructions, then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g))), appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding, such Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g))) appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of its predecessor Agent, and its predecessor Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties (other than Disqualified Lenders) in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that Cortland Products Corp. or one or more of its Affiliates may (but is not obligated to) act as collateral agent or representative for the holders of ABL Facility Indebtedness, Permitted Second Priority Additional Debt, any Extended Term Loan or any Permitted Refinancing thereof under the collateral agreements with respect thereto and/or under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against Cortland Products Corp. or any of its Affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.

In case of the pendency of any case or proceeding under any insolvency or other similar law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Agents under Section 2.05, Section 3.01, and Section 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agents any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Agents under Section 2.05 and Section 10.05. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any amounts owed to the Agents shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the stock or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided, that, any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or stock thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any stock and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for the Administrative Agent or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the each Lenders pro rata and the stock and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for the Administrative Agent or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

(c) if to a Lender, to it at its address (email address or fax number) set forth on Schedule 2.01 or in the Assignment and Acceptance or Refinancing Amendment pursuant to which such Lender shall have become a party hereto.

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by fax or on the date three Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 10.01 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 10.01. As agreed to among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders from time to time, notices and other communications may also be delivered by e-mail to the e-mail address of a representative of the applicable Person provided from time to time by such Person.

The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Required Lenders or Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, or will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article 6, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Request for Credit Extension or a notice pursuant to Section 2.10, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, or (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Restricted Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees (w) to use commercially reasonable effort to make all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders clearly and conspicuously “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any of its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents, (2) financial statements and related documentation, in each case, provided pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) and (3) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities.

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S OR ITS RELATED PARTIES’ GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BAD FAITH, IN EACH CASE, AS DETERMINED BY THE FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

Section 10.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf or that any Agent or Lender may have had notice of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04 and 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

Section 10.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, each other Loan Party party hereto on the Restatement Effective Date and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

Section 10.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it), with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that (i) if the approval of the Borrower is required for any such assignment pursuant to the definition of “Eligible Assignee”, then the Borrower must also give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after the Borrower having received written notice thereof, (ii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be in an integral multiple of, and not less than, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans of the relevant Class) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees; provided that simultaneous assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, (iii) the parties to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and, in each case, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that (x) simultaneous assignments by two or more Related Funds shall require the payment of a single processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (y) such processing and recordation fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all Lender-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities laws), all documentation and other information reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be required by applicable regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, and all applicable tax forms (including such documentation required under Section 3.01(d)). Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an 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, 3.03, 3.04 and 10.05). Upon request and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Term Note (if any), the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Term Note to the assignee Lender.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental or related thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and the interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and, as to entries pertaining to it, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. Upon reasonable request by a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall make available to such Lender a schedule of Disqualified Lenders, to the extent the Borrower has provided such a schedule to the Administrative Agent. This Section 10.04(d) shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower, to such assignment, and “know your customer” information requested by the Administrative Agent, and any applicable tax forms (including such documentation required under Section 3.01(d)), the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than Disqualified Lenders) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, 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, (iii) the participating banks or other Persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant and only if such participant has complied with the requirements of such provisions as if it were a Lender) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of (or consent under) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (provided that the agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Lender has sold a participation may provide that such Lender shall not agree to the following amendments without the consent of such participating bank or Person hereunder: amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or Person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank has an interest; extending any scheduled principal payment date or scheduled date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or Person has an interest; increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or Person has an interest; releasing all or substantially all of the Guarantors (other than in connection with the sale of any such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 7.05) releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral or the Term Priority Collateral or reductions in the voting thresholds; or modifying the pro rata requirements of Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.14, in each case, which directly and adversely affects such participants; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required in respect of any amendment, modification or waiver of (i) the payment of default interest, (ii) the occurrence of a default or an Event of Default, (iii) the mandatory prepayment requirements of Section 2.13 or (iv) the payment or receipt of the fee or premium pursuant to Section 2.12(d)). To the extent permitted by law, each participating bank or other Person also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such participating bank or other Person agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation or exercises its option under section 10.04(i) with respect to an SPV shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and SPV (other than any SPV that is treated as a disregarded entity of the Granting Lender for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and the principal amounts (and interest thereon) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or SPV or any information relating to a Participant’s or a SPV’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under United States Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and proposed United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Lenders and each Agent 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 notice to the contrary.

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that (except during the arrangement by the Required Lenders when customary confidentiality arrangements shall apply), prior to any such disclosure of Information, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive in any material respect than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.16 for the benefit of (and enforceable by) the Borrower.

(h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes remain the Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

(j) The Borrower (except as expressly permitted by clause (ii) of Section 7.04(d)) shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(k) So long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, subject to the following limitations and other provisions:

(i) such assignment shall be made pursuant to (A) an open-market transaction on a non-pro rata basis or (B) a Dutch Auction open to all Lenders of the applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction Procedures (it being agreed that none of the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary shall have any obligation to make any representation as to the absence of MNPI in connection therewith and such assignment shall be made pursuant to the form of Assignment and Acceptance, which shall contain customary “big boy” assurance by the assignor Lender to the effect that it is a sophisticated investor and is willing to proceed with the assignment);

(ii) the Borrower will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in, meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent;

(iii) [reserved];

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased by the Borrower may not exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche B-2 Term Loans as of the Restatement Effective Date plus the aggregate amount of all Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred after the Restatement Effective Date;

(v) any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower;

(vi) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in the definitions of “Consolidated Net Income” and “Consolidated EBITDA”) any non-cash gains in respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA; and

(vii) the purchase and cancellation of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 10.04(k) shall not constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.12 or 2.13.

Section 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees (i) promptly following (and in any event within thirty (30) days of) written demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such request) therefor, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Apollo for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including Attorney Costs which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Agents, and one counsel to the Lenders (and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for each group and, in the event of any actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel of each type to similarly situated parties)) and (ii) from and after the Restatement Effective Date, promptly following (and in any event within thirty (30) days of) written demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such request) therefor, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Apollo and each Lender promptly following written demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all respective Attorney Costs which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Agents and one counsel to the Lenders (and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for each group and, in the event of any actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel of each type to similarly situated parties)). To the extent otherwise reimbursable by the foregoing sentence of this section, the foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording, title insurance, survey, environmental, property condition report and zoning report charges and fees related thereto, and other reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by any Agent. The foregoing costs and expenses shall also include all mortgage recording, recording and filing fees charged by governmental authorities to record and/or file Collateral Documents.

(b) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (or the directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and members of each of the foregoing) (each an “Agent Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Agent Indemnitees”) and each Lender and their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (or the directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and members of each of the foregoing) (each a “Lender Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Lender Indemnitees”; together with, the Agent Indemnitees, collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actual losses, damages, claims, liabilities and reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one outside counsel for the Agent Indemnitees and Attorney Costs of one outside counsel for the Lender Indemnitees (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of any actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each type of similarly situated affected Indemnitees)) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee or Lender Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the Transactions or the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property, vehicle or facility currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Parties or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Agent Indemnitee or Lender Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or equityholders in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of any such Agent Indemnitee or Lender Indemnitee; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, damages, claims, liabilities and expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) any dispute solely among the Indemnitees other than (1) any claim against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or similar role and (2) any claim arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or (z) the material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents (or any related party), as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Indemnitee or any other party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement except to the extent that such damages resulted from the (A) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the material breach by such Indemnitee of its or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee’s obligations under the Loan Documents, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the case of a claim, investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, any Loan Party’s directors, stockholders or creditors or other Affiliates or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. To the extent that any Loan Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section within the timeframe specified therein, each Lender severally agrees to indemnify and reimburse, and pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, if the Term Loans have been paid in full prior to such determination pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then each such Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined as of the last date the Term Loans were in effect immediately prior to such payment in full.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee and (ii) no Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Loan Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof (whether before or after the Restatement Effective Date); provided that the foregoing shall in no event limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations under clause (b) above.

(d) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable within 30 days after written demand therefor (including documentation reasonably supporting such request).

Section 10.06. Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates (and the Agents, in respect of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder) is authorized at any time and from time to time (with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent), without prior notice to any Loan Party, any such notice being waived by each Loan Party (on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), 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) (other than payroll accounts, trust accounts, escrow accounts, employee benefits accounts or xxxxx cash accounts) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all matured Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and such Lender may have at Law.

Section 10.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 10.08. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.18, with respect to any Refinancing Amendment, in Section 2.19 with respect to an Extension Offer or as otherwise provided herein or in a Loan Document, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto with the consent of the Required Lenders (provided, that amendments to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall require the agreement of the Loan Parties (or any of them) only to the extent required pursuant to the terms thereof); provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any fee or any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof (other than with respect to any default interest), or decrease the amount of any fee or the rate of interest on any Loan (other than with respect to any default interest), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that (x) the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest, (y) any change to the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in any rate of interest pursuant to this clause (i), (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent or of any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.14, the provisions of Section 10.04(j) or the provisions of this Section or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors (other than in connection with the sale of such Guarantors in a transaction permitted by Sections 7.04 or 7.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than as permitted hereby), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (or, in the case of Section 10.04(j), each Lender), (iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms materially and adversely affects the rights of Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of the Required Class Lenders with respect to each materially and adversely affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.04(i) without the written consent of such SPV (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders (if such consent is otherwise required), additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments on the Restatement Effective Date) or (vii) modify the definition of “Required Class Lenders” without the consent of the Required Class Lenders with respect to each Class of Loans or Commitments; provided further that (w) no Lender consent is required to effect a Refinancing Amendment or an Extension (except as expressly provided in 2.18 or 2.19, as applicable) or to effect any amendment expressly contemplated by Section 7.12, (x) [reserved], (y) modifications to Section 2.14, 2.15 or any other provision requiring pro rata payments or sharing of payments in connection with (I) any buy back of Term Loans by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.04(k) or pursuant to any similar program that may in the future be permitted hereunder, (II) [reserved] or (III) any Extension, shall only require approval (to the extent any such approval is otherwise required) of the Lenders participating and (z) no Lender consent other than the consent of the Required Lenders is required to effect any amendment or supplement to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (I) that the Administrative Agent is otherwise authorized to enter into with only the consent of the Required Lenders by Section 10.23, (II) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted Second Priority Additional Debt, (or a Senior Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing and provided, that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (III) that is expressly contemplated by Section 5.2(c) or the second paragraph of Section 7.4 of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (or the comparable provisions, if any, of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise adversely affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

Notwithstanding any other language to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any amendment, waiver or modification to which the Administrative Agent’s consent is not required, the parties agree to deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of each such amendment, waiver or modification; provided that, (i) no party shall be liable for its failure to comply with this sentence and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not be bound by any such amendment unless and until it has received a copy thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment is delivered in order to if such amendment is delivered in order to correct or cure (x) ambiguities, errors, omissions, defects, (y) to effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature or (z) incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies in this Agreement or the applicable Loan Document. This Agreement, guarantees, collateral documents, security documents, intercreditor agreements,  and related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and may be amended, modified, terminated or waived, and consent to any departure therefrom may be given, without the consent of any Lender if such amendment, modification, waiver or consent is given in order to (x) comply with local law or advice of counsel or (y) cause such guarantee, collateral document, security document or related document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Section 2.05, Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 2.19. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document.

Section 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 10.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, financing sources, legal counsel and other advisors involved in the Transaction on a “need to know” basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (and in such case, such Person shall promptly notify the Borrower of such disclosure), (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (g) on a confidential basis to (x) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Facility or (y) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facility, or (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.16 or other confidentiality obligation owed to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Article, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower and related to the Borrower, its business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower not in violation of any confidentiality or obligation owed to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.16 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 its own confidential information.

Section 10.17. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall be given at the direction of the Required Lender).

Section 10.18. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 10.19. Collateral And Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree:

(a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of all Commitments hereunder and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet accrued or payable), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is disposed as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than a Person required to xxxxx x Xxxx to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents (or, if such transferee is a Person required to xxxxx x Xxxx to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on such asset, at the option of the applicable Loan Party, such Lien on such asset may still be released in connection with the transfer so long as (x) the transferee grants a new Lien to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on such asset substantially concurrently with the transfer of such asset, (y) the transfer is between parties organized under the laws of different jurisdictions and at least one of such parties is a Foreign Subsidiary and (z) the priority of the new Lien is the same as that of the original Lien), (iii) subject to Section 10.08, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to Section 11.10, (v) any such property constitutes Excluded Property or (vi) in accordance with any Intercreditor Agreement;

(b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 7.01(b), 7.01(g), 7.01(q) or 7.01(s) (in the case of Section 7.01(s), to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens); and

(c) that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty as provided in Section 11.10.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.19. In each case as specified in this Section 10.19, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.19.

Section 10.20. [Reserved].

Section 10.21. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, to the fullest extent possible under provisions of applicable Law, be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

Section 10.22. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

(a) In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) the Agents, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agents or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship, and (iii) the Agents and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate.

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that each Lender and any of its affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any of its Affiliates or any other person or entity that may do business with or own securities of any of the foregoing, all as if such Lender or Affiliate thereof were not a Lender (or an agent or any other person with any similar role under the Facilities) and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing. Each Lender and any of its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any of its Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement, the Facilities, the commitment letter or otherwise without having to account for the same to any other Lender, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the foregoing.

Section 10.23. Intercreditor Agreements.

(a) The Administrative Agent is authorized to become a party to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Amendment (and enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement in respect of any Permitted Refinancing of ABL Facility Indebtedness), and each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it has received a copy of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and that the ABL Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon it. Each Lender (a) hereby consents to the subordination of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, (b) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any amendments or supplements expressly contemplated thereby, and to subject the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the ABL Secured Parties to extend credit to the borrowers under the ABL Credit Agreement and such ABL Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and each of the parties hereto acknowledges that each such agreement shall be binding upon it. Each Lender (a) hereby consents to the intercreditor agreements in respect of the Collateral securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (b) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and, without the further consent, direction or other action of any Lender, to enter into any amendments or supplements thereto, in each case solely if the form of the agreement as so amended or supplemented would constitute the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, if being entered into as an original agreement. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the parties providing any Permitted Second Priority Additional Debt to extend credit to the borrowers thereof and such parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) The extent of any conflict between the Loan Documents, on the one hand, and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement contemplated by this Section 10.23, on the other hand, such intercreditor agreement shall control.

Section 10.24. Alternative Interest Rates.

(a) If at least two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or that the Adjusted LIBO 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 Loan, or that deposits are not being offered to banks in the relevant interbank market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Adjusted LIBO 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 Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (determined without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component thereof) in the amount specified therein.

(b) If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall reasonably agree that either (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) of this Section 10.24 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) of this Section 10.24 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate (or any component thereof) or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate (or any component thereof) shall no longer be published for use in determining interest rates for loans (in the case of either such clause (i) or (ii), an “Alternative Interest Rate Election Event”), the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Borrower (a) shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for leveraged syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and (b) shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.08, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days after the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from Required Lenders stating that they object to such amendment (which amendment shall not be effective prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day notice period).  To the extent an alternate rate of interest is adopted as contemplated hereby, the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with prevailing market convention; provided that, to the extent such prevailing market convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such approved rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent and the Borrower.  From such time as an Alternative Interest Rate Election Event has occurred and continuing until an alternate rate of interest has been determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of this paragraph, (x) any Request for Credit Extension that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective, and (y) if any Request for Credit Extension requests a Eurodollar Loan, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan; provided that, to the extent such Alternative Interest Rate Election Event is as a result of clause (ii) above, then clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence shall apply during such period only if the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if such alternate rate of interest as determined in this clause (b) is determined to be less than 1% per annum, such rate shall be deemed to be 1% percent per annum for the purposes of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11 GUARANTEE

Section 11.01. The Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective permitted successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of (i) Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code and (ii) any other Debtor Relief Laws, whether or not such items are allowed or allowable as a claim in any applicable proceeding) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Term Notes (if any) issued hereunder and held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any other Loan Party under any Loan Document strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Section 11.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under this Agreement, any Term Notes issued under this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, to the extent permitted by Law, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Term Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(e) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.10.

Section 11.03. Certain Waivers. Etc. The Guarantors hereby expressly waive (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and, to the extent permitted by Law, all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or the Term Notes issued hereunder, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive, to the extent permitted by Law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and permitted assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding. Each Guarantor waives (to the extent permitted by Law) any rights and defenses that are or may become available to it by reason of §§ 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and §§ 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code. As provided in Section 10.07, the provisions of this Article 11 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The foregoing waivers and the provisions hereinafter set forth in this Article 11 which pertain to California law are included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Article 11, to any other provision of this Agreement or to the Obligations.

Section 11.04. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article 11 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

Section 11.05. Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party to any Person that is not a Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 7.03(b) or 7.03(d) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Obligations in an manner reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders.

Section 11.06. Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Term Notes issued hereunder, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.02) for purposes of Section 11.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.01.

Section 11.07. Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article 11 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Secured Party or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

Section 11.08. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article 11 is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 11.09. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.11) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 11.10. Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, (i) all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or property of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred to a Person or Persons none of which is a Loan Party or (ii) any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (any such Guarantor, and any Guarantor referred to in clause (i), a “Transferred Guarantor”), such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon (x) the consummation of such sale or transfer or other transaction or (y) becoming an Excluded Subsidiary pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.05 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Collateral Document and, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released, and, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 11.10 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Collateral Documents; provided, that no Guarantor shall be released as provided in this paragraph if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(o), any Permitted Additional Debt, any Junior Financing or any Permitted Refinancing of any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Excluded Subsidiary, such Guarantor shall only be permitted to be released from its Guarantee so long as the fair market value of any and all Investments then held by the Loan Parties in such Person are permitted as an Investment under Section 7.02(c)(iii) and Section 7.02(p) at the time such Person becomes an Excluded Subsidiary pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Excluded Subsidiary”.

When all Commitments hereunder have terminated, and all Loans or other Obligations hereunder which are accrued and payable have been paid or satisfied, this Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall automatically terminate with respect to all Obligations, except with respect to Obligations that expressly survive such repayment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.11. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.05. The provisions of this Section 11.11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 11.12. Additional Guarantor Waivers and Agreements.

(a) Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for the Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that such Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification from the Borrower or others based on any right such Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Guarantor under the Guaranty. Each Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this paragraph, such potential impairment or destruction of such Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle such Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted in Union Bank x. Xxxxxxx, 265 Cal. App. 2d 40 (1968). By executing this Guaranty, each Guarantor freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives (to the extent permitted by Law) and relinquishes that defense and agrees that such Guarantor will be fully liable under this Guaranty even though the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may foreclose, either by judicial foreclosure or by exercise of power of sale, any deed of trust securing the Obligations; (ii) agrees that such Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may commence to enforce this Guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by such Guarantor in this Guaranty include any right or defense that such Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of §§ 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or § 2848 of the California Civil Code; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Parties are relying on this waiver in creating the Obligations, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration which the Secured Parties are receiving for creating the Obligations.

(b) Each Guarantor waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because any of the Obligations is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by the other Loan Parties; and (ii) if the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party forecloses on any real property Collateral pledged by the other Loan Parties: (A) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may collect from such Guarantor even if the Secured Parties, by foreclosing on the real property Collateral, have destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Guarantor may have because any of the Obligations is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon § 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

(c) Each Guarantor waives (to the extent permitted by Law) any right or defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure § 580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
