Section 5.    Effect of Amendment.
(a)    Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Amended Credit Agreement, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants, Liens, guarantees or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or of any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect and this Amendment shall not be considered a novation.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in calculating any financial ratio or test that constitutes an Incurrence-Based Amount (as defined below), with respect to any amount incurred or transaction entered into or consummated in reliance on a provision of Section 7 of this Agreement that requires compliance with a fixed dollar amount (any such amount, a “Fixed Amount”) substantially concurrently with any portion of such amount incurred or such transaction entered into or consummated in reliance on a provision of Section 7 of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio test and/or Section 7.1 (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, regular quarterly compliance with Section 7.1)) (any such amount, an “Incurrence-Based Amount”), it is understood and agreed that such portion of the amounts incurred, or transactions entered into or consummated, in compliance with any Fixed Amount shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the relevant Incurrence-Based Amount.
1.3    Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of Section 2.17(b), Section 2.17(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrowers may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.
(b) Each Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower on the earlier of the Initial Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is borrowed, the applicable Borrower shall repay all of its Swingline Loans then outstanding.
2.7    Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a) Whenever any Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans, it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:30 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the applicable Borrower, (ii) the amount to be borrowed and (iii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period). Each Swingline Loan made under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. If the Swingline Lender agrees, in its sole discretion, to make a Swingline Loan, not later than 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.


(b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 1:30 P.M., New York City time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”), outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge such Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans of such Borrower to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.
(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.
(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.
(e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or any Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

The 2021 Delayed Draw Ticking Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date and upon the earliest of the 2021 Delayed Draw Funding Date, the 2021 Delayed Draw Term Commitment Termination Date and the date of any other termination of the 2021 Delayed Draw Term Commitments.

Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the applicable Commitments then in effect. Any notice of termination given by the applicable Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or capital raising, in which case such notice may be revoked by such applicable Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.
2.10    [Reserved].

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the following amounts shall be excluded from the calculation of the amount of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event, as applicable:
(i) any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary or Net Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event with respect to a Foreign Subsidiary, as applicable, the distribution of which by a Foreign Subsidiary to the Parent Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary or any holder of Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law. Any amount that is excluded from the calculation of Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.12(e)(i) will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section 2.12(b) and may be deducted from any amounts otherwise due under Section 2.12(b), so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit a distribution of those funds by the Foreign Subsidiary (the Parent Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to take and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable law to eliminate such limitations). Once the distribution of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, the Parent Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans (not later than five (5) Business Days after such distribution is permitted) by an amount equal to such portion of such affected amount, except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Reinvestment Notice has been or shall be validly delivered pursuant to Section 2.12(b) in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds or to the extent Section 2.12(e)(ii) precludes such prepayment; and
(ii) any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary or Net Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event with respect to a Foreign Subsidiary, in each case, to the extent that the Parent Borrower has determined in its reasonable judgment that the distribution of any of or all such items to the Parent Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary or any holder of Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary would have any adverse tax consequence (the Parent Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to take and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable law to avoid any such adverse tax consequence). Any amount that is excluded from the calculation of Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this paragraph 2.12(e)(ii) will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section 2.12(b) and may be deducted from any amounts otherwise due under Section 2.12(b). Once the Parent Borrower determines in its reasonable judgment that a distribution of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds would cease to result in adverse tax consequences, the Parent Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans (not later than five (5) Business Days after such determination) by an amount equal to such portion of such affected amount, except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Reinvestment Notice has been or shall be validly delivered pursuant to Section 2.12(b) in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds or to the extent Section 2.12(e)(i) precludes such prepayment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, in no event shall any Group Member be required to repatriate cash of Non-Domestic Subsidiaries to the United States.


(f) If, on any date, (i) the aggregate Dollar Equivalents of the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of Foreign Currency Loans and any outstanding L/C Obligations denominated in any L/C Foreign Currency exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit, the Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay such of the outstanding Foreign Currency Loans and cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit denominated in any L/C Foreign Currency in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Dollar Equivalents of the outstanding principal amounts of Foreign Currency Loans does not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit or (ii) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit (including the Dollar Equivalents of any Revolving Extensions of Credit outstanding in a currency other than Dollars) exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, and the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit (including the Dollar Equivalents of any Revolving Extensions of Credit outstanding in a currency other than Dollars) exceed the Total Revolving Commitments for two consecutive Business Days thereafter, then on such second Business Day thereafter, the Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay such of the outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit and cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit (including the Dollar Equivalents of any Revolving Extensions of Credit outstanding in a currency other than Dollars) do not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments.
2.13    Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans that are denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:30 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.


(b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the applicable Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) if an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) with respect to any Borrower is in existence, provided, further, that (i) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, if the applicable Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso any such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, (x) if the applicable Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Loans with a three-month Interest Period and (y) if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso any such Loans shall be subject to a rate of interest determined pursuant to negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) between the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest and, pending such negotiations, the rate of interest on each Revolving Lender’s share of the relevant Foreign Currency Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of (A) the Applicable Margin and (B) the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by that Revolving Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Revolving Lender of funding its participation in that Foreign Currency Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select (which if negative shall be deemed to be zero), and the relevant Revolving Lender shall provide a certificate to the Administrative Agent setting out in reasonable detail how it has calculated such cost, provided that nothing in this clause (y) shall require such Revolving Lender to disclose information that it is prevented from disclosing pursuant to any applicable laws, regulations or confidentiality obligations, and any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the foregoing shall be binding on all Loan Parties; and provided further that any such Eurocurrency Loan is continued in the same currency. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
2.14    Limitations on Eurocurrency Tranches and Foreign Currency Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurocurrency Tranches denominated in Dollars shall be outstanding at any one time. There shall be no more than six Foreign Currency Loans denominated in Foreign Currencies outstanding at any time.
2.15    Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.


(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment) (such increased rate, in each case, as applicable, the “Default Rate”).
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.
2.16    Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to (i) ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate or, the Canadian Prime Rate or Yen, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed and (ii) Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or Canadian Dollars, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual days elapsed; provided that with respect to Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency, the interest thereon shall be calculated in accordance with market practice, if market practice differs from the foregoing. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Canadian Prime Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Parent Borrower, deliver to the Parent Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a).
2.17    Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(i) the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate (including because the applicable Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable currency and such Interest Period; or


(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans for the applicable currency and during such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (A) in respect of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, (x) any Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans, (B) in respect of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, (x) any CDOR Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, (y) any CDOR Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding CDOR Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (C) in respect of Foreign Currency Loans denominated in any currency other than Canadian Dollars, any Foreign Currency Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period and/or any outstanding Foreign Currency Loans shall be, at the Parent Borrower’s election, (i) made as, or converted to, ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (and the Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be used in determining ABR) or (ii) repaid (to the extent outstanding) in full, provided that if no such election is made by the Parent Borrower within three days after receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower will be deemed to have elected clause (i). Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurocurrency Loans.


(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the applicable Screen Rate), (x) the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the applicable Screen Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Screen Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Screen Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans denominated in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the applicable Screen Rate for such currency that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the applicable currency in the United States at such time (including any mathematical or other adjustments to such alternate rate of interest consistent with the prevailing market convention at such time), and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement; provided further, that solely with respect to the 2020 Term Loans, if such alternative rate of interest for the 2020 Term Loans as so determined would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00% for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.1, any 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 Business Days of the date a copy of such amendment is provided to the relevant Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Facility Lenders stating that such Majority Facility Lenders object to such amendment. Unless and until an alternate rate of interest is determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii)(w), clause (ii)(x) or clause (ii)(y) of the first sentence of this Section 2.17(b), only to the extent the applicable Screen Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any notice or conversion that requests the conversion of any Revolving Loan to, or continuation of any Revolving Loan as, a Eurocurrency Loan shall be ineffective and (y)(1) if any notice of borrowing requests a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars, such Loan shall be made as an ABR Loan, (2) if any notice of borrowing requests a Revolving Loan that is a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars, such Loan shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan and (3) if any notice of borrowing requests a Revolving Loan that is a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in any other Foreign Currency, such Loan shall be made based on the calculation described in clause (a)(ii)(C) above.
2.18    Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by any Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Parent Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective applicable Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.


(b) Each payment (including each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 but excluding any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 and any payment pursuant to Section 2.3) by the Parent Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be applied to scheduled installments of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity or as otherwise directed by the Parent Borrower. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 by the Parent Borrower on account of principal of and interest on a Class of Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective principal amounts of such Class of Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders and shall be applied to the installments of the Term Loans as elected by the Parent Borrower. Each payment by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3, including on the applicable Maturity Date for any Class of Term Loans, shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Class of Term Loans held by the Term Lenders of such Class. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans (other than Foreign Currency Loans) shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.
(d) Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Foreign Currency Loan shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Foreign Currency Loan then held by the applicable Revolving Lenders.
(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise (other than in respect of the principal or interest on the Foreign Currency Loans), shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder on account of principal or interest on the Foreign Currency Loans shall be made in the relevant Foreign Currency, without setoff and counterclaim and shall be made on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Revolving Lenders, at the office, and prior to the time for payment for the relevant currency, set forth on the Administrative Schedule. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.7. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.


(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent, on demand, from the applicable Borrower.
(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by such Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by such Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against such Borrower.
(h) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.7(b), 2.7(c), 2.18(f), 2.20(e), 3.4(a) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.


2.19    Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any reserve requirements prescribed for eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency Liabilities” in Regulation D of the Board) maintained by a member bank of the Federal Reserve System shall be made subsequent to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loans and such Lender shall have requested, by notice to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall specify the Statutory Reserve Rate applicable to such Lender), compensation under this paragraph, then the Parent Borrower will pay to such Lender (until the earlier of the date such requirement is no longer in effect or the date such Lender shall withdraw such request) amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional costs of making or maintaining such Eurocurrency Loans.
(b) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date:
(i) shall subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(ii) shall, without duplication of reserves or other deposits contemplated by Section 2.19(a), impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit (or participations therein) by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (other than Taxes);
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Credit Party, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Parent Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Credit Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Credit Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or such other Credit Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(c) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request


therefor, the Parent Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.
(e) If by reason of any change in a Requirement of Law subsequent to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, the funding of any Foreign Currency Loan in any relevant Foreign Currency or the funding of any Foreign Currency Loan in any relevant Foreign Currency to an office located other than in New York shall be impossible or such Foreign Currency is no longer available or readily convertible to Dollars, or the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency is no longer readily calculable, then, at the election of any affected Lender, no Foreign Currency Loans in the relevant currency shall be made or any Foreign Currency Loan in the relevant currency shall be made to an office of the Administrative Agent located in New York, as the case may be.
(f) (i) If payment in respect of any Foreign Currency Loan shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any change in a Requirement of Law subsequent to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, payment of such Obligations in such currency or such place of payment shall be impossible or such Foreign Currency is no longer available or readily convertible to Dollars, or the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency is no longer readily calculable, then, at the election of any affected Lender, the applicable Borrower shall make payment of such Loan in Dollars (based upon the Exchange Rate in effect for the day on which such payment occurs, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof) and/or in New York or (ii) if any Foreign Currency in which Loans are outstanding is redenominated then, at the election of any affected Lender, such affected Loan and all obligations of the applicable Borrower in respect thereof shall be converted into obligations in Dollars (based upon the Exchange Rate in effect on such date, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof), and, in each case, the applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders, against any currency exchange losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.
(g) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.19(a), (b) or (c) submitted by any Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(h) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or compliance by any Lender


with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any extension of credit to any Additional Borrower or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to any extension of credit to any Additional Borrower, then, upon written notice by such Lender (each such Lender providing such notice, an “Impacted Lender”) to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent:
(i) the obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make extensions of credit to such Additional Borrower shall forthwith be (x) suspended until each Impacted Lender notifies the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing that it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any extension of credit to such Additional Borrower or (y) to the extent required by law, cancelled;
(ii) if it shall be unlawful for any Impacted Lender to maintain or charge interest with respect to any outstanding Loan to such Additional Borrower, such Additional Borrower shall repay (or at its option and to the extent permitted by law, assign to the Parent Borrower) (x) all outstanding ABR Loans made to such Additional Borrower within three Business Days or such earlier period as required by law and (y) all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans made to such Additional Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans or within such earlier period as required by law; and
(iii) if it shall be unlawful for any Impacted Lender to maintain, charge interest or hold any participation with respect to any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Additional Borrower, such Additional Borrower shall deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the L/C Obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit within three Business Days or within such earlier period as required by law.
2.20    Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent or Loan Party, as the case may be) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent or Loan Party, as the case may be, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party to the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20), the amount received by the applicable Credit Party equals the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) The Loan Parties shall severally timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, any Other Taxes.
(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Loan Party, as the


case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Loan Party, as the case may be.
(d) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers under this paragraph (e).
(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Person,


(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)     in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)     executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)     in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or


(4)     to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent 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 Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


(iii) Each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times and in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient, executed copies of any form prescribed by applicable law (other than any form required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.20(f)(i) or (ii)) as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding Tax imposed by the jurisdiction in which any relevant Loan Party is organized or located, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to (X) permit such Loan Party or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; or (Y) obtain authorization from any relevant Tax Authority to permit such Loan Party to make that payment without, or with a reduction in, withholding Tax. The Lender shall cooperate with such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, and the Tax Authority in doing anything necessary to enable payment to be made without, or with a reduction in, withholding Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20(f)(iii), the completion, execution and submission of such forms or other documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, including additional amounts paid, under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loan Documents.
(i) For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender.


2.21    Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure of such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into, conversion from or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) the failure of such Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment by such Borrower of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Parent Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.22    Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates with the object of avoiding or minimizing the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending offices to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a).
2.23    Replacement of Lenders. The Parent Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender if (a) the Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or if the Loan Parties are required to pay Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts with respect thereto to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(a), (b) the Lender is then a Defaulting Lender, or (c) the Lender (the “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (a “Proposed Change”) that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.22 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) each Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 if any Eurocurrency Loan of such Borrower owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) to the extent the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and/or any Issuing Lender would have consent rights over an assignment of the applicable Loans or Commitments to the replacement financial institution


pursuant to Section 10.6, the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and/or such Issuing Lender (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), as the case may be and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.
2.24    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a);
(b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;
(c) if any Swingline Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of such term) and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding for so long as the circumstances giving rise to such obligation to provide such cash collateral remain relevant (which cash collateralization requirement shall be satisfied by the Borrowers depositing such cash collateral into an account opened by the Administrative Agent);
(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to


such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv) if the L/C Exposure of the Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8(a) and Section 3.3(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentages; and
(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.24(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.24(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
If a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent of any Lender shall occur following the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and for so long as such event shall continue, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Parent Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage, in accordance with its ratable share thereof.


2.25    Incremental Facilities. (a) The Parent Borrower and/or any Additional Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall make, obtain or increase the amount of their Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (any such increased Revolving Commitments, “Incremental Revolving Commitments” and any facility under which such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments are made available, an “Incremental Facility”), as applicable, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Additional Credit Extension Amendment specifying (i) the amount of such increase and the Facility or Facilities involved, (ii) the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date, (iii) the applicable Borrower(s) and (iv) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, (w) the applicable Incremental Term Maturity Date, (x) the amortization schedule for such Incremental Term Loans and (y) the Applicable Margin for such Incremental Term Loans; provided, that:
(A) the aggregate principal amount (or committed amount, if applicable) of all Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments, together with the aggregate principal amount of any Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, shall not exceed the Incremental Cap;
(B) (x) with respect to any Incremental Term Loans being incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition designated by the Parent Borrower as a “Limited Conditionality Acquisition”, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of entry into the applicable acquisition, merger or similar agreement governing such acquisition or (y) otherwise, as of the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Date, immediately prior to and after giving effect to any Additional Credit Extension Amendment (including the making of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments pursuant thereto), no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom;
(C) the Parent Borrower shall be in compliance, as of any Incremental Facility Activation Date, on a pro forma basis (including giving pro forma effect to the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment (including the making of any Incremental Term Loans and any Incremental Revolving Commitments thereunder (and assuming, in the case of any Additional Credit Extension Amendment with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments that such commitments are fully drawn) without the netting of proceeds thereof and any Permitted Acquisition made with the proceeds thereof)), with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.1, recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower for which financial statements are available;


(D) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation or warranty which is already qualified as to materiality or by reference to Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects) (x) with respect to Incremental Term Loans being incurred to finance a Limited Conditionality Acquisition, as of the date of execution and delivery of the applicable acquisition, merger or similar agreement governing such acquisition (provided that, if agreed by the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, the only representations and warranties that shall be required to be true and correct shall be those as are customarily required to be so true and correct in an acquisition subject to limited conditionality (which representations and warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Date, unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be required to be so true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date)) or (y) otherwise, as of the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Date, immediately prior to and after giving effect to the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment (including the making of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments (or Revolving Loans in respect thereof) pursuant thereto), in each case, unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date;
(E) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Facility (other than the Specified Incremental Loans) shall be no earlier than the weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Term Facility;
(F) all Incremental Term Loans and any Revolving Loans made in respect of Incremental Revolving Commitments shall rank pari passu in right of payment and right of security in respect of the Collateral with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and none of the obligors or guarantors with respect thereto shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party;
(G) except with respect to pricing and fees or as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.25(a), all terms of any Incremental Term Facility, if not consistent with the applicable existing Term Facility, shall be determined between the Parent Borrower and the lenders for such Incremental Term Facility and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that each Incremental Term Facility shall share ratably in any mandatory prepayments of the applicable Term Facility unless the Parent Borrower and the lenders in respect of such Incremental Term Facility elect lesser payments;
(H) any Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans in respect thereof shall be pursuant to the terms hereof otherwise applicable to the Revolving Facility and such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Revolving Commitments under this Agreement after giving effect to such Additional Credit Extension Amendment;
(I) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (x) each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $50,000,000 and (y) no more than five Incremental Facility Closing Dates may be selected by the Parent Borrower after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date; and
(J) no Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.


(b) Any New Lender that elects to provide Commitments under an Incremental Facility (i) to the extent such consent would be required for an assignment of such Loans or Commitments pursuant to Section 10.6 (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Loans, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender and (ii) shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, on each Incremental Facility Closing Date with respect to the Revolving Facility, each Borrower shall borrow Revolving Loans under the relevant increased Revolving Commitments from each Lender participating in the relevant increase in an amount determined by reference to the amount of each Type of Loan of such Borrower (and, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, of each Eurocurrency Tranche) which would then have been outstanding from such Lender if (i) each such Type or Eurocurrency Tranche had been borrowed or effected by such Borrower on such Incremental Facility Closing Date and (ii) the aggregate amount of each such Type or Eurocurrency Tranche requested to be so borrowed or effected by such Borrower had been proportionately increased. The Eurocurrency Rate applicable to any Eurocurrency Loan borrowed pursuant to the preceding sentence shall equal the Eurocurrency Rate then applicable to the Eurocurrency Loans of the other Lenders in the same Eurocurrency Tranche (or, until the expiration of the then-current Interest Period, such other rate as shall be agreed upon between the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lender).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, on each Incremental Facility Closing Date, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitments evidenced thereby. Any such amendment may be effected in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower and furnished to the other parties hereto.
2.26    Currency Fluctuations
(a) No later than 11:00 A.M. (Local Time) on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to each applicable Foreign Currency, provided that, upon receipt of a borrowing notice pursuant to Section 2.5(b), the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate with respect to the relevant Foreign Currency on the related Calculation Date (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall use such Exchange Rate for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.4(b) with respect to such borrowing notice). The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 10.15 and any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and any Foreign Currency.
(b) No later than 11:00 A.M. (Local Time) on each Reset Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalents of (i) the principal amounts of the Foreign Currency Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any Foreign Currency Loans to be made or repaid on such date) and (ii) the L/C Obligations then outstanding in a currency other than Dollars.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Revolving Lenders of each determination of an Exchange Rate hereunder.


2.27    Borrower Representative
(a) Each Additional Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Parent Borrower as its agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative on its behalf for all purposes hereunder, including delivering borrowing and conversion notices, compliance or similar certificates; giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans; paying, prepaying and reducing Loans, Commitments or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents; selecting interest rate options; giving, receiving, accepting and rejecting all other notices, consents or other communications hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of such Additional Borrower under the Loan Documents. The Parent Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the Parent Borrower on behalf of any Additional Borrower as a notice or communication from such Additional Borrower. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made by the Parent Borrower on behalf of any Additional Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Additional Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Additional Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Additional Borrower. Any action, notice, delivery, receipt, acceptance, approval, rejection or any other undertaking under any of the Loan Documents to be made by the Parent Borrower in respect of the Obligations of any Additional Borrower shall be deemed, where applicable, to be made in the Parent Borrower’s capacity as representative and agent on behalf of such Additional Borrower, and any such action, notice, delivery, receipt, acceptance, approval, rejection or other undertaking shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Additional Borrower, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Additional Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Additional Borrower.
(b) Each Additional Borrower that is not an Excluded Foreign Subsidiary hereby severally agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by such Additional Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of the Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s relying on any instructions of the Parent Borrower on behalf of such Additional Borrower, except that such Additional Borrower will have no liability under this subsection 2.27(b) with respect to any liability that is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable determination to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Administrative Agent or such Lender or the Administrative Agent’s material breach of this Agreement. The agreements in this Section 2.27(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder


2.28    Amend and Extend Transactions.
(a) The Parent Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “Extension”) of the maturity or termination date of any Class of Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loans to the extended maturity or termination date specified in such notice. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loans to be extended (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, the Dollar Equivalent thereof), (ii) the date on which such Extension are requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such Extension request (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree)) and (iii) identifying the relevant Class of Revolving Commitments and/or Term Loans to which the Extension request relates. Each Lender of the applicable Class shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender of such Class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent. If the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, offered to be extended by the Parent Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of Lenders of the applicable Class 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 Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 and in each other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Extension, (iii) the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender shall have consented to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments, to the extent that such extension provides for the issuance of Letters of Credit or making of Swingline Loans at any time during the extended period and (iv) the terms of such Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Term Loans shall comply with Section 2.28(c).
(c) The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Additional Credit Extension Amendment; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment shall be no earlier than the maturity or termination date of the Class of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments being extended, (ii)(A) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the Extended Revolving Commitments and (B) the weighted average life to maturity of the Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Class of Term Loans being extended, (iii) the Extended Revolving Loans and the Extended Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans and (A) there shall be no additional Collateral with respect thereto not constituting security for the Obligations and (B) none of the obligors or guarantors with respect thereto shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party, (iv) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discounts and premiums applicable to any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments (and the Extended Revolving Loans thereunder) shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the lenders providing such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable and (v) to the extent the terms of the Extended Term Loans or the Extended Revolving Commitments are inconsistent with the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above), such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Credit Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Additional Credit Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments as a new Class or tranche of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended Classes or tranches and to provide for the reallocation of participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms not inconsistent with this Section 2.28.
2.29    Refinancing Facilities.
(a) The Parent Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request (x) Replacement Revolving Commitments to replace all or a portion of any existing Class of Revolving Commitments (the “Replaced Revolving Commitments”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the Replaced Revolving Commitments plus any accrued interest, fees, costs and expenses related thereto and (y) Refinancing Term Loans to refinance all or a portion of any existing Class of Term Loans (the “Refinanced Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Refinanced Term Loans plus any accrued interest, fees, costs and expenses related thereto (including any original issue discount or upfront fees). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000), (ii) the date on which the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility is to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree)) and (iii) whether such Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities are Replacement Revolving Commitments or Refinancing Term Loans. The Parent Borrower may seek Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) or any New Lender.


(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility and the incurrence of any Refinancing Term Loans that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to or immediately after giving effect to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility or the incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans, as applicable, (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 and in each other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility becomes effective and the Refinancing Term Loans are made; (iii) the terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility shall comply with Section 2.29(c) and (iv) (x) substantially concurrently with the incurrence of any such Refinancing Term Loans, 100% of the proceeds thereof shall be applied to repay the Refinanced Term Loans (including to pay accrued interest, fees and premiums (if any) payable in connection therewith) and (y) substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of such Replacement Revolving Commitments, all or an equivalent portion of the Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to such effectiveness shall be terminated, and all or an equivalent portion of the Revolving Loans then outstanding, together with interest thereon and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, shall be repaid or paid.
(c) The terms of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility Lenders and set forth in an Additional Credit Extension Amendment; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Commitments shall not be earlier than the maturity or termination date of the applicable Refinanced Term Loans or Replaced Revolving Commitments, respectively, (ii) (A) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the Replacement Revolving Commitments and (B) the weighted average life to maturity of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans, (iii) the Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans and (A) there shall be no additional Collateral with respect thereto not constituting security for the Obligations and (B) none of the obligors or guarantors with respect thereto shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party, (iv) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premiums applicable to the Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility Lenders and (v) to the extent the terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities are inconsistent with the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clause (i) through (iv) above), such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.


(d) In connection with any Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility pursuant to this Section 2.29, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Credit Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Credit Agreement Refinancing Facilities. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Additional Credit Extension Amendment. Any Additional Credit Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.29, including any amendments necessary to establish the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Facility as a new Class or tranche of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (as applicable) and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower in connection with the establishment of such Classes or tranches (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the refinanced and non-refinanced tranches and to provide for the reallocation of participation in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.29. Upon effectiveness of any Replacement Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.29, each Revolving Lender with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to such effectiveness will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Replacement Revolving Lender, and each such Replacement Revolving Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such existing Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each such Replacement Revolving Lender) will equal its Revolving Percentage. If, on the date of such effectiveness, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall upon the effectiveness of such Replacement Revolving Commitment be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder so that Revolving Loans are thereafter held by the Revolving Lenders (including each Replacement Revolving Lender) according to their Revolving Percentage, which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Revolving Lender in accordance with Section 2.21. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.


SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1    L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender (acting through any of its branches or affiliates) in each case in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers (or so long as the Parent Borrower is a co-applicant with respect to any such Letter of Credit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than an Additional Borrower)) on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that (I) solely to the extent the L/C Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s Committed L/C Commitment after giving effect to such issuance, any Letter of Credit in such excess shall be issued in the sole discretion of the applicable Issuing Lender and (II) no Issuing Lender shall have an obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations (including the Dollar Equivalent of any L/C Obligations outstanding in any currency other than Dollars) would exceed the L/C Commitments, (ii) the L/C Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero or (iv) with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in an L/C Foreign Currency, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of Foreign Currency Loans and any outstanding L/C Obligations denominated in any L/C Foreign Currency would exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or another L/C Foreign Currency and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, provided that (A) any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above) and (B) clause (x) above shall not apply to a Letter of Credit if such long-dated Letter of Credit is consented to by the applicable Issuing Lender (but with an expiration date of no longer than two years after the date of issuance, which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).
(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause any Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Letters of Credit outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall continue to be outstanding hereunder immediately after giving effect to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date. The Parent Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders that Schedule 3.1(c) to this Agreement sets forth a true and complete listing of all Existing Letters of Credit.


3.2    Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. Any Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit for its account by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application (solely to the extent the L/C Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s Committed L/C Commitment after giving effect to such Application, if such Issuing Lender agrees, in its sole discretion, to issue a Letter of Credit), such Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower. Such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the applicable Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
3.3    Fees and Other Charges. (a) Each Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit requested by it at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurocurrency Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, each Borrower shall pay to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit requested by it, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Parent Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
3.4    L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the applicable Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount that is not so reimbursed (or is so returned). Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any


adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the applicable Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the greater of (x) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the applicable Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such L/C Participant Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Issuing Lender. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof (it being understood that any such distribution shall be in Dollars and the Issuing Lender shall convert any amounts received by it in a currency other than Dollars into the Dollar Equivalent thereof for purposes of such distribution); provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
3.5    Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit requested by a Borrower, such Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 1:00 P.M., Local Time on the first Business Day after such Borrower receives such notice by 11:00 A.M., Local Time on such date (or if such Borrower receives such notice thereafter, no later than 1:00 P.M., Local Time on the subsequent Business Day). Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in the same currency as such draft was paid and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.15(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.15(c).


3.6    Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that such Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. Each Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) the validity, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, certificate or other document or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, (ii) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit, (iii) any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right whatsoever of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee or (iv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final nonappealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Lender to any Borrower.
3.7    Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower that requested such Letter of Credit of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the applicable Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8    Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
3.9    Cash Collateralization. If on any date the L/C Obligations (including the Dollar Equivalent of any L/C Obligations outstanding in a currency other than Dollars) exceeds the L/C Commitment, then the Borrowers shall within three Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
3.10    Currency Adjustments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of calculating any fee in respect of any Letter of Credit in respect of any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall convert the amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars into an amount of Dollars based upon the Exchange Rate.


(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3, prior to demanding any reimbursement from the L/C Participants pursuant to subsection 3.4 in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the applicable Issuing Lender shall convert the Borrowers’ obligations under subsection 3.4 to reimburse the Issuing Lender in such currency into an obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender in Dollars. The Dollar amount of the reimbursement obligation of the Borrowers and the L/C Participants shall be computed by the applicable Issuing Lender based upon the Exchange Rate in effect for the day on which such conversion occurs, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Parent Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that (i) as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and (ii) as of any other date such representations and warranties must be made hereunder:
4.1    Financial Condition. (a) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Parent Borrower as at December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Ernst & Young LLP, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the last day of any subsequent fiscal quarter ended at least 45 days prior to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended on such dates, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such dates, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).
(b) As of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, no Group Member has any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are required to be reflected in financial statements in accordance with GAAP and are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in paragraph (b). During the period from December 31, 2018 to and including the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date there has been no Disposition by any Group Member of any material part of the business or property of the Group Members, taken as a whole (other than in the ordinary course of business).
4.2    No Change. Since December 31, 2018, including after giving effect to the Transactions, there shall not have been any event or state of facts that has had or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.


4.3    Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or, if applicable in a foreign jurisdiction, enjoys the equivalent status under the laws of any jurisdiction of organization outside the United States) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority, and the legal right, (i) to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged and (ii) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (c) is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing (or, if applicable in a foreign jurisdiction, enjoys the equivalent status under the laws of any jurisdiction of organization outside the United States) in, every jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law and its Contractual Obligations except, in each case (other than with respect to clause (b)(ii) or any Borrower in connection with clause (a) above) to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.4    Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The Transactions are within each Loan Party’s corporate powers and (i) in the case of U.S. Loan Parties, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, stockholder, and shareholder action and (ii) in the case of Foreign Loan Parties, will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate stockholder and shareholder action as of the date when the first Loan is made to the applicable Additional Borrower hereunder. As of (i) the Closing Date, each Loan Document dated on the Closing Date, (ii) the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, each Loan Document dated on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and (iii) any date after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date on which the representations or warranties in this Section 4.4 are made, each Loan Document dated on or prior to such date, has, in each case, been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party party thereto and, assuming due execution and delivery by all parties other than the Loan Parties, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
4.5    No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and (b) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents), in each case (a) and (b), except to the extent such violation (other than any violation of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws or other organizational or governing documents of any Group Member) or Lien, could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.6    Litigation. There are no actions, suits, disputes or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, that involve this Agreement.
4.7    No Default. Neither the Parent Borrower nor any Loan Party is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation that would, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.


4.8    Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold (or license or similar) interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except where such failure to have good title or valid leasehold (or license or similar) interests could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the assets of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is subject to any Lien other than Liens permitted under Section 7.3.
4.9    Intellectual Property. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Group Member owns, or otherwise possesses a license or other valid and enforceable rights to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no claim has been asserted and is pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, is threatened, which challenges the use, validity or enforceability of any Intellectual Property rights held by any of the Group Members, nor does the Parent Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the Intellectual Property rights held by any Person.
4.10    Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, material state and other Tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all material Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other material Taxes imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority to the extent such Taxes have become due and payable (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member); no Tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such Tax that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.11    Federal Regulations.

Engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or that would be conducted after giving effect to the Transactions) or any business reasonably similar, ancillary, complementary, related or incidental thereto or a reasonable extension, development or expansion thereof.
7.13    Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of any Loans or Letters of Credit for any purpose except as contemplated by Section 6.14. Any proceeds of Loans or Letters of Credit used for the purposes contemplated by Section 6.14 shall not be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board) or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose.
7.14    Organization Documents. Amend, modify or change in any manner materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders its Organization Documents.
7.15    Anti-Corruption Laws; Sanctions. Request any Loan or Letter of Credit, and shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers and employees shall not use, the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country or (C) in any other manner, in the case of (B) or (C), as would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to any Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Parent Borrower declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith,


whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Parent Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.

Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrowers (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers.
SECTION 9. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
9.1    Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
9.2    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.


9.3    Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, trustees, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
9.4    Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
9.5    Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Parent Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.


9.6    Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
9.7    Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its partners, officers, directors, employees, trustees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), any amount required to be indemnified by the Parent Borrower under Section 10.5. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8    Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.


9.9    Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to any Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Parent Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
(b) Any resignation by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.9 shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of a retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, (ii) a retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender or other existing Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.
9.10    Arrangers and Syndication Agents. Neither the Arrangers nor the Syndication Agents shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such.
9.11    Bilateral L/C Facilities, Swap Agreements and Cash Management Agreements. No Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender that is party to any Bilateral L/C Facility, Swap Agreement or any Cash Management Agreement permitted hereunder or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Bilateral L/C Facility, Swap Agreements and Cash Management Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender or Affiliate of a Lender that is party to such Bilateral L/C Facility, Swap Agreement or such Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans.

The Parent Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable and documented fees, actual disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and other counsel retained with the Parent Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Parent Borrower prior to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable and documented fees, actual disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses of one counsel to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (and to the extent that the Administrative Agent or any Lender reasonably determines that separate counsel is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, one additional outside counsel) and other counsel retained with the Parent Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that in the case of an actual (or perceived, if set forth in a writing by the affected party to the Parent Borrower) conflict of interest, where the affected party informs the Parent Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected party), (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from the Parent Borrower’s delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar Taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, (d) to pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for all of its reasonable and invoiced losses, costs or expenses sustained in connection with any conversion of Obligations, fees, payments or any other amounts payable to the Issuing Lender from any currency other than Dollars to its Dollar Equivalent; provided that such conversion shall have resulted from the Parent Borrower’s failure to comply with its obligations hereunder and (e) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative


Agent, their respective affiliates, and the respective partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and controlling persons of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the same are brought by any Borrower, the equity holders, affiliates or creditors of the Parent Borrower or any other Person, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under or related to, any Environmental Law or Materials of Environmental Concern applicable to the operations of any Group Member, the Business or any of the Properties and the reasonable and documented fees, actual disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses of one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees and one environmental consultant and, if necessary, one firm of regulatory counsel and one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all Indemnitees (provided that in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee informs the Parent Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, the reasonable and invoiced costs and expenses of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee), in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (e), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Parent Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or, (y) a material breach of the funding obligation of, such Indemnitee, provided, further, that this Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim, and provided further that this Section 10.5(e) shall not require the reimbursement of costs, expenses and disbursements of any Indemnitee incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being understood that any reimbursement in connection with such costs, expenses and disbursements shall be governed by Section 10.5(a)). Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, or (y) a material breach of the funding obligation of, such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than for direct, actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted at the address of the Parent Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Parent Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


10.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than as contemplated by Section 2.19(h), no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), other than a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of, a natural person, the Parent Borrower or any Affiliate of the Parent Borrower, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:
(A) the Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and provided, further, that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Parent Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of any Commitments or any Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender; provided that no consent of an Issuing Lender or a Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and


(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Parent Borrower and its Affiliates 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.
For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.5 with respect to the facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of the assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders 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 Borrowers, any Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.


(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Parent Borrower, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) other than a natural person, a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural person, the Parent Borrower or any Affiliate of the Parent Borrower in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (ii) directly affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Parent Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Parent Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.23 with respect to any Participant. The Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.19 and 2.20 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.19 or 2.20, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the Borrowers (upon request) or otherwise to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.


(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. The Parent Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes.
10.7    Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it by a U.S. Loan Party (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender by such U.S. Loan Party, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender by such U.S. Loan Party, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,” no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by Parent Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Parent Borrower; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.


10.8    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
10.9    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.10    Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
10.11    Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
10.12    Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; provided, that nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document will prevent any Lender or the Administrative Agent from bringing any action to enforce any award or judgment or exercise any right under the Security Documents or against any Collateral or any other property of any Loan Party in any other forum in which jurisdiction can be established;
(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

Such service may be made by delivering a copy of such process to such Loan Party in care of the Process Agent at its address specified above, with a copy delivered to such Loan Party in accordance with Section 10.2, and each Loan Party hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. The appointment of the Process Agent shall be irrevocable until the appointment of a successor Process Agent. Each Loan Party further agrees to promptly appoint a successor Process Agent in the United States (which shall accept such appointment in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) prior to the termination for any reason of the appointment of the initial Process Agent. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that any party hereto may have to bring proceedings against any other party hereto in the courts of any jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. So long as the Parent Borrower is the agent of the Loan Parties for services of process, the Parent Borrower must maintain a place of business in the United States for service of process and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in the address of such location.

10.14    Releases of Guarantees and Liens. (a) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (other than as a result of a Guarantor becoming a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary); provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders (or if applicable, the Lenders) shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.1) to take any action requested by the Parent Borrower (1) having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction permitted by any Loan Document (other than as a result of a Guarantor becoming a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below; provided, that if requested, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request or (2) acknowledging the subordination of any Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to Liens that are expressly permitted by Section 7.3 to be senior to the liens in favor of the Administrative Agent.

requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.1) to take any action requested by the Parent Borrower having the effect of releasing any guarantee obligations with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that has become an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that if such Subsidiary Guarantor is an Additional Borrower, then prior to or simultaneously with the release of the guarantee obligations of such Subsidiary, such Subsidiary’s status as a “Additional Borrower” shall be terminated in accordance with Section 10.21(b).

(a) The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the respective Lender or Issuing Lender of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 10.15, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of Dollars.


10.16    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that is designated by the provider thereof as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate thereof, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained in this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors, officers, agents, independent auditors, rating agencies, attorneys, accountants, insurers, risk protection providers and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates, in each case, who are instructed to comply with the confidentiality provisions herein, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been (i) publicly disclosed, (ii) received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from a third party that is not, to the knowledge of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, subject to contractual or fiduciary confidentiality obligations owing to any Loan Party with respect to such information or (iii) independently developed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document, (j) if agreed in writing by the Parent Borrower in its sole discretion, to any other Person, (k) to establish a “due diligence” defense, (l) pursuant to customary disclosure about the terms of the financing contemplated hereby in the ordinary course of business to market data collectors and similar service providers to the loan industry for league table purposes or (m) to its permitted pledgees and secured parties (including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any other central bank).
Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Parent Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Parent Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
10.17    [Reserved].


10.18    WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
10.19    USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.
10.20    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.


10.21    Additional Borrowers. (a) The Parent Borrower may at any time, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), add as a party to this Agreement any Wholly Owned Subsidiary to be an Additional Borrower. Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 5.3, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as an Additional Borrower as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement, and the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations (limited to, with respect to any Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary, the Obligations of Foreign Loan Parties). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders at least five Business Days prior to granting such consent and, if any Revolving Lender notifies the Administrative Agent within five Business Days that it is not permitted by applicable Requirements of Law or any of its organizational policies to make Revolving Loans to, or participate in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans for the account of, the relevant Subsidiary, shall withhold such consent (which shall not be deemed to have been unreasonably withheld) or shall give such consent only upon effecting changes to the provisions of this Agreement as are contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section 10.21 that will assure that such Revolving Lender is not required to make Revolving Loans to, or participate in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans for the account of, such Subsidiary.
(b) So long as the principal of and interest on any Loans made to any Additional Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other obligations of such Additional Borrower under this Agreement (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been fully performed, the Parent Borrower may, by not less than five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary’s status as an “Additional Borrower”.
(c) In order to accommodate (i) the addition of a Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower or (ii) extensions of credit to an Additional Borrower, in each case, where one or more Revolving Lenders are legally able and willing to lend Revolving Loans to, and participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of, such Subsidiary, but other Revolving Lenders are not so able and willing, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Required Lenders, to effect such changes to the provisions of this Agreement as it reasonably believes are appropriate in order for such provisions to operate in a customary and usual manner for “multiple-currency” syndicated lending agreements to a corporation and certain of its foreign subsidiaries, all with the intention of providing provisions for the Revolving Lenders who are so able and willing to extend credit to such Subsidiaries and for the other Revolving Lenders not to be required to do so. Prior to effecting any such changes, the Administrative Agent shall give all Revolving Lenders at least five Business Days’ notice thereof and an opportunity to comment thereon.
10.22    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).


In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
10.23    Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,
(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84- 14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or


(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
